An Unpleasant Delusion.
“Talking about ghosts on railroad
tracks,” said the engineer, as he mopped
his brow with a piece of dry waste, ‘I
believe in them.”
“Whyso?”’
«Well, I killed a man once—that is.
my engine killed him—and I can’t get
rid of him.”
«Haunts you, does he ?"’
“Not exactly. ButI can’t get him
out of my memory. It happened on
the old Brunswick & Western Rail-
road. I had taken a young man—a
tramp--on the engine with me. He
was a Northern man who had been
South for his health and had got broke
in Florida. He was going home to die,
he said and asked me to give him a lift.
I was sorry for him and granted his re-
quest with pleasure.
“The fellow had consumption, and
the jolting of the engine resulted in a
hemorrhage. I wasn’t noticing the
man, when I heard a shriek and then—
out of the cab he tumbled and then un-
der the engine! I heard the wheels
pass over him and grind his bones to
powder !
“After, that, whenever we would
reach that spot I seemed to heara shriek
and the grinding of the wheels on hu-
man bones.
“On one occasian the fireman swore
that he saw the man picking up his
bones along the track; but of course
there was nothing in that. But for six
months afterwards, as long as I re-
mained on the road, I imagined I could
hear the shriek and feel the engine
jump when we got to that place. I
suppose it was all imagination, but I
could not help it all the same.”
Power of Habit.
I have read of men who have acquir-
ed the habit of chewing cloves or coffee
beans until the habit had taken as
a hold as ever did alcohol, morphine or
cocaine upon its victim, says Dr. A. C.
Robinson of St. Louis.
I readily believe this, because there is
_a young man of my acquaintance who
actually acquired what was for a long
time an uncontrollable taste for tincture
of aloes, one of the bittesest substances
in or out of the pharmacopeia. He had
been addicted from the childhood to the
disagreeable habit of biting his finger
nails incessantly.
He was advised to touch the tips of
his fingers with the tincture of aloes. At
first the remedy was successful, but the
desire to nibble at his nails was inces-
sant.
Gradually he got used tothe bitter
taste. Later on he craved it, and he ac-
tually reached the point where he car-
ried a vial of the fluid about with him
and applied it from time to time to his
finger ends, being utterly miserable
without it,
The effect on his constitution of this
idealized narcotization at las became so
serious that he applied to a celebrated
specialist, who treating the habit as a
disease, in some manner effected a cure.
The young man now grows talons
where he had the nails gnawed down to
the quick formerly.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
PR —
Fourth of July Excursion to Gettyeburg
via Pennsylvania Railroad,
The widespread interest which centres
in the battlefield of Gettysburg has in-
duced the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany to arrange a general excursion to
that point from all principal stations on
its system on July 3d and 4th next.
Not only the fact that this day is a na-
tional holiday renders the date appro-
priate, but it is at the sume time the
twenty-eighth anniversary of the great
battle. Independence Day is also a
favorite date for the visit of veterans to
‘the field, and there are always ceremon-
Jes of interest to civilians as well as sol-
-diers.
On this occasion excursion tickets will
‘be sold from all principal stations on
the Pennsylvania System on July 3d
.and 4th, valid for return until July 6th,
The rates which will prevail are ex-
.ceedingly low. Round-trip tickets will
be sold from New York at $5, Philadel-
.phia, at $3, Washington at $3, Canan-
.daigna $7.50, Pittsburg $7.50, and at
_proportionately low figures from other
-gtations.
The regular train service will be
.available in most cases, but special ser-
vice may also be provided, due notice
of which will be published later.
The Paaable of the Rats.
‘A Scotch paper gives usa forcible
temperance lecture in the [following
parable. We would like to shake hands
with that bright boy :
A laborer at the Dunde2 harbor lately
told his wife in awakening, a curious
dream which he had during the night.
He dreamed that he saw coming toward
him, in order, four rats. The first one
was very fat, and followed by two Jean
ones, and the rear rat being blind. The
dreamer was greatly perplexel as to
what might follow, as it bas been un-
derstood that to dream of rats denotes
. coming calamity. He appealed to bis
wife concerning this, but she, poor wo-
man, could not help him. His son, a
sharp lad, who heard his father tell the
- story, volunteered to be the interpreter.
“The fat rat,” he said, “is th> man who
keeps the public house, that ye gang till
sae often ; the twa lean anes are me and
my mither, and the blind ane is yerself,
#father.”’
——John NeNamara states that he
with others has discovered a cure for
consumption and cancer, which he has
offered to the Queensland, Australia,
Government, for £25,000. He is now
erecting a plant capable of turning out
sufficiert of the alleged cure for treat-
ment of 10,000 patients.
————————
—— What is alleged to be the first
gun made for the Confederacy is now in
possession of Mrs. H. I. Miller, of Chat~
tanooga, ‘whose fasher made it at Holly
Springs, Miss., in 1861. It originally
had a rifled barrel, and is still in good
condition.
How Women Rest.
How differently men and women in-
dulge themselves in what is called a
resting spell. “I guess I'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile,” says the wife; but her hus-
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge, or sits back in his arm chair,
with feet and hands at rest and feet
placed horizontally upon another chair.
The result is that his whole body
gains the full benefit of the half hour
he allows himself from work, and the
wife only receives that indirect help
which comes from change of occupa-
tion. A physician would tell her that
taking even ten minutes in a horizon-
tal position, asa change from standing
orsitting at work, would prove more
beneficial to her than any of her mak-
shifts at resting. Busy women have a
habit of keeping on their feet just as
long as they can, in spite of backaches
and warning pains.
As they grow older they see the folly
of permitting such drafts upon their
strength, and learn to take things
easier, let what will happen. They say,
“T used to think I must do thus and so,
but I’ve grown wiser and learned to
slight things.” The first years of
housekeeping are truly the hardest, for
untried and unfamiliar cares are almost
daily thrust upon the mother and home-
maker. :
Trivialities.
It is not always easy in any sphere to
discriminate between the trifling and
the momentous. It is often a matter of
comparsion, and judgment and exper-
ience are needed in the selection. Tri-
fles are not to be confounded with de-
tails, which are often most important.
Neither are things necessarily trifling
because they are small. A kind look, a
gentle warning, a cordial greeting, a
shght service are sometimes despised as
trifles, when in truth they are sigus of a
generous and kindly nature, and carry
untold blessings to their recipients.
Many little things are far more im-
portant than what we misscall great
ones ; they may indeed be the true real-
ities. while the others may be insignifi-
cant. If each one will faithfully ex-
amine the meanings and purposes of the
various spheres in which he moves, and
endeavor conscientiously to make them
first in his heart and life, the trifles will
sink into their proper and subordinate
place.— New York Ledger.
RuEUMATISM. — Is undoubtedly
caused by lactic acid in the blood,
This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, and
causes the pains and aches in the back,
shoulders knees, ankles, hips, and
wrists. Thousands of people have found
in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a positive cure
for rheumatism. This medicine, by its
purfying action, neutralizes the acidity
of the blood, and also builds up and
strengthens the whole body.
— A special kind of paper has been
invented, which, it is alleged, is abso-
lutely impervious to water, and will
even stand boiling. The water proofing
can be carried out either after the paper
is made or during the operation of mak-
ing it.

TT THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
istence, that we address.
Those who use no-
thing,—who think they
need nothing,—who live
on expectation, hope or
some intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this column by. It is not
intended for them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put down for
the people who are morta
enough to get hungry,and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and neec-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them to lay cut al.
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
oeen in the hunger appeas-
ing business for many,
many years. We know
what men want, we know
what women and children
desire, and we know how
much better and how much
more pleasant it is to re-
side in a eommunity where
people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-
plainers, growlers and suf-
ferers. To have healthy
people pure food must be
used. We understand this,
and understanding it, keep
nothing but the purest of
everything that can be
found in| the market. To
satisfy the demands of the
many different stomachs
that we try to gratify, re-
quires a vast variety of
dainties, condiments and
relishes, as well as the sub-
slantials; and knowing this
there is nothing that is eat-
able, relishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
It is for you who want, or
use anything eatable, eith-
er as meats, fish, groceries,
fruits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from a’piece
of chewing gum to a first
class beef steak, that we
write and pay the printer
to print this invitation !for
you to come and see us.
If you live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality of goods
we carry.
Ii you live in the country
come in the first time you
come to town and learn how
easy it is to get good, pure,
{fresh groceries, as low if
not lower than many have
been in the habit of paying
for old, impure and
strengthlessarticles of diet.
If you have any good fresh
farm produce bring it along.
