Among the many symptoms of Dyspepsia or indigestion the most prominent are: Va riable appetite; faint, gnawing feeling at pit of the stornach, . with unsatisfied cravingfor food; heartburn, feeling of weight and wind In the stom ach, bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, low spirits, general prostration, headache, and constipation. There is no form of disease more prevalent than Dyspepsia, and none so pecul iar to the high-living and rapid-eating American people. Alcohol and tobacco produce Dyspepsia; also, bad air, rapid eating, etc. BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS will cure the worst case, by regulating the bowels and toning up the digestive organs.

The Widow Collins is corning to wash to day." Mr. Pitcher whistled softly. "Pheww!" said he. 'In my yoang; days we didn't hire a woman at 75 cents a day when we had good stout arms ot our own." "Things change father," said his wife, hurriedly. " Not always for the better, though," remarked the good farmer, as he gut into his one-horse wagon and drove away. ''Do you suppose he'll be along soon T" sau 1 said Rosa. How is' a body to tell " retorted Fan ny, rather impatiently. r Oh, Ftuiny, I'm afraid !" falteredilosa. " You take my place, won't you ?

I almost wish, Fanny, wo hadn't answered that advertisement." "It's too late to think of that now," said Fanny. "There he comes, this min ute !" " Where?" cried Ropa. divided between her extreme curiosity to see the man who had advertised for a wife in the columns of the Fuirview County Journal and the instinct that bade her llee to the most con venient closet. "He Is handsome 1" whispered she. "aikI ne has eot his valise with him I" aid r a liny. - I 'Iji:'" cried Mrs. Pitcher. " I wonder if he expects to be asked to stay t" "At the sound of footsteps on the door stone Fanny tied precipitately, Rosa sank, punt inn. on the haircloth sofa, and Mrs. Pitcher hastened to answer the knock. ' "Does Mr. Pitcher live here" said a tall young man. with sandv hair, a mus tache to match, and pale blue eyes, veiled behind sjiectaclos. " He does." falterintcly answered Mrs. Pitcher. '" Please to walk in. My daugh-, ter is in the parlor." "Perhaps," aid the young man hesi tatingly, "it might be well to explain to you that I " " Xo explanations are necessary," said Mrs. Pitcher, growinar more and more flurried. She quite understands. Please walk into the parlor, you li find her. there." Kosa. sitttr.tr exactly In the conter of the haircloth sola, looked not unlike a mouse in a trap, who would fain escape, if it could. The young man sat down his valise and bowed ktiilly. " I hope 1 see you well, miss." sail he. "Pretty well," stammered liosa. And then followed u awful silence.. The young man, after portentously clearing his throat,, began to uufaston the buckles of hfei valise. " I have something here which I should like to show you." said he. " He has got some credentials as to char acter,'" thought Kosa. "or perhaps it's an engngeiuent ring. Oh, I hooc it's a nice one:'' " Are you fond of cooking " said the young mnn. "Hut I needn't ask. Every New England kirl is that." " I liKe it pretty well.'' snid Kosa, much . marveling at the questioner. 1 " You rend a good deal, I suppose V " Oh, yes," said Rosa brightening up a little. ' K.vnctly," said the young man. " WelL I hae here the very thing that- will suit you.

A complete cookery book, with all the recipes iu poetry and illustrated throughout, at only H a volume.

And as for literary excellence " I His tongue was unloosed at last; he was Kufliciently voluble now. Hose started to her feet. ! "Are are you a book agent f" she cried. " That's my business, miss," acknowl edged the young man, UDwrappitig sev eral dirfercutty bound volumes of the ' Complete Cookery Book, in Verse." "Will you do me the favor to look ut this book rf "So. I won't !" e.xcitededly cried Rosa. "I only ask a trial to convince you that " " Iet me go !" cried Rosa, blindly rnsh ingto the riorT. I I am not well! I ' th'nk I am going to faint." The book aut-nt picked up his specta cles, loi'kt'd blankly at the blue, red and freen volumes of his stock in trade, and egan slowly to replace them in his va lise. " I don't believe 1 shatl make a trade here." said he to himself. "The people are queer. I hope 1 haven't got into a pri. .vate lunatic asylum." And he opened the front door and walk ed out of the house, just as Kosa ran sob bitikr down the grape-vine path in the gar den, directly into the arm- of a tall young giant, who was coming up from the river with an overcoat on his shoulder. " Kosa," said he, " I've come here to ask you to pardon me. it was I that ad vertised. 1 did it just for a joke. But When yon answered it " '-iotham Kllett!" cried Rosa, nearly - choking with wrath, " I'll never forgive you iu this world i.ever." She struggled to escape from his grasp, but in vain. " Now, Kosa, don't be vexed," said he. You will forgive me: yon must! And you shall marry me, too. There ! I al . ways said I could pluck up a spirit to ask , any girl to marry me; but somehow this matter seems to settle Itself. "o, you . shall not go till you've said yes. You're the very girl I've always wanted. And yon don't know what a deal of store I shall set by you, Rosa dear!" " Don't tell pa about the advertisement, then,' whispered the fast relenting Kosa. "I won't tell a living soul," declared Jotham. The book agent went on his way, mak ing tolerably good sales that sultry July - day, white JotUani and Rosa sat hapnily under the grapevines, and the idow , Collins hung out the flapping sheets and towels on the lines and sighed to think of the days when she, too, was young. Mr. Pitcher was well pleased when he came home and learned the news of his daugh ter's engagement. " Joe Kllett is a good fellow," said he. "Rosa couldn't do better. ' " But it isn't half as romantic as I thought It was going to be when Kosa answered that advertisement,'' said Fan ny, sorrow fully, in the seclusion of the back kitchen. A Cat That Stood by 111.

About the Ttlan Wbo Wrote All the Year I ' hound." j One of diaries Dickens's daughters was fop a time u great invalid, and after a worse attack of illness than usual her father suggested that sh should be carried as lar as the study, uud lie on the sofa then wiiila he was at work. This was. of course, considered uu immense privilege, and even if she had not felt as weak. and ill ns the did, she would have bi.-en bound to reuiain a still and qui-.-t n3 to-siblo. For somo time there was no sound to be lizard in the room but the rapid working 6f the pen, when suddenly lie .fitmped np, went "to the looking glass, nisiied back to his writing talile and Jot ted down; a few words : back to his glas again, this tiuie talking to his owu reflec tion, or rather to the simulated expression he saw th re, ami va trying to catch be fore drawing it iu words, then back a'ain to his wiiUng. Aftr a Ihtle ho got up again, mid" sio ":d with his back to tho glas. talking softly and r:iiidIyfor a long time, then 'lookin? id h?3 daughter, bnt certainly never seeing her, then once more back to his table, and to sternly writing until luncheon time. It was a curious ex perience, and a wonderful thing to see him throwing himself so entirely out of him self and into the character he was writing about. ills daughter has very seldom mentioned this Incident, feeling as If It would almost be a breach of confidence to do so. But she considers It now only right that this experience should be men tioned, showing as it floes his rcharacterls tic earnestness and method.' of.' .work. Often, after a hard morning's writing, when he bus been alone with his family, and no visitors in the house, he has come in to luncheon and gone through the meal without uttering a word, and then has gone b:ick again to the work In which he was so completely absorbed. Then again, there have beeu times when his nerves have been strung up to such a pitch that any sudden noise, such as the dropping of a apoon, or the clatter of a plate, seemed to cause him real agony. lie never could bear the least noise when he was writing, and w.-iged a fierce war against the organ grinders, bands, etc Charles Dickens whs a most delightful and genial host, had the power of putting the shyest people at ease with him at once, and had a charm in his manner peculiarly his own and quite indescribable. The charrn was al ways there whether he was grave or gav, whether in his very funniest or iu his most serious and earnest mood. He was a strict muster iu the way of insisting upon everything being done perfectly and ex actly as he desired, but on the other hand. . he was most kiud, just aud considerate. His punctuality was a remarkable charac teristic, and his visitors Used to wonder how it was that everything was done to the very minute, "almost by clockwork," as some of them would remark. Labenrhrre,a Place and Inflnence. One of the most singular facts in poli tics and journalism in the Cnited King dom Is Henry l,abon-here, editor and pro prietor of Truth. " 1 Jibby " has not only effected a marvellous revolution in journ alism, but he has gradually changed Englishmen's habits ot thought. By his fearless independence and downright truth telling, he has set his countrymen the exampJe of thinking and acting for themselves, instead of allowing toadyish magazinists and leader writers to pilot them by tho nose as formerly. Of highly cultured mind, remarkably sound judg ment, thorough knowledge of. the history of his own country and times. Intimately acquainted with all the leaders of thought and action throughout Europe, a master of the art of what Disraeli called "social diplomacy." and an unsparing dissector of the sins and follies of corrupt or brain less society, he is at once the terror and the delight of the British pnblic. A sincere hater of pretentious sham, humbug and hypocrisy he has the pluck to expose them unmercifully wherever they appear : and to do him justice his pen Is more ready to attack the great and rich than the weak and fortuneless. Hence " l.abby " has become a great power here, an insti tution " in himself about which there ex ists a most singular curiosity, on the part of strangers as much almost as native Britishers. Cor. JV. 1". Tiltijruin. lie Flurried hi. Sweetheart's Slater. The marriage of George Finlay, the his torian of ancient Greece and for many years correspondent of the Iondon Times at Athens, was attended with consider able romance. Finlay had become at tached to abeant.ful Armenian girl at Constantinople, and, as her family would never have consented to her marriage with the young Scotchman, determined to elope with her. A yacht of an English friend was to take the couple to Greece, and it was arrangM that the ' young lady was to be got on board fw a box prepared for the purpose, When the eventful mo ment came the eirl "brarfte' frightened and refused to allow herself to be placed in the box. Her sister, a girl equally love ly, thought it a pity that the romantic ar rangement should not be taken advan tage of, and entered herself the box in place of her Bister. I suppose Finlay must , nave been considerably surprised when the box was opened in the cabin of the yacht and not his sweetheart, but her sis ter was revealed dressed in midshipman's uniform. The brother of the young lady had discovered the alTair and was quickly on board the yacht to demand explana- ; tlon. Finlay saw only one course before him. The girl had been compromised ; he would marry her. The brother giving hia consent, the marriage took place at once. 'Han Francisco A Ita. A Lady Train Denpatcher. I have twice written abont the women who have held or are holding positions In the employ of the Manitoba Railroad Com pany, but I find I had not known it all. The first woman mentioned was Miss Ca rey, who, some three years ago. was left with three sisters and a brother to sup port. She learned to be a telegraph oper ator, atid wherever she went she took her family with her' and supported them. She tanght her two sisters and a brother the business and was appointed agent at . Wayzata, where she had charge of all the , business, which. In the summer, with hort-linc trains and steamers on I,ake Minnetonka. is very heavy, i After a time she was allowed to have her brother to help, and one sister was appointed train despatcher on the same road. Think of it? A woman, who used to be considered so helpless and impractical, and generally useless and Incompetent, given the control of all -the life and prop erty involved In the management of the numerous trains on that busy road. And what do they think of her ?

There was a time when that degraded mau was as guiltless as a girl; he began by learning vice from the example of his companions, jnst as he learned how to amoke.

Boiling Water In a Sheet of Paper Take a piece of paper and fold it up, as schoolboys do, into a square box without a lid. Hang this up to a walking stick by four threads, and support the stick on books or other convenient props. Then a lamp or taper must be placed under this dainty cauldron. In a few moments the water will boil. The only fear is lest the threads should catch fire and let the water spill into the lamp and over the table. The flames must therefore not be too large. The paper does not burn because it is wet, and even if it resisted the wet it would not be burned through, because the heat Imparted to one side by the tlaroe would be very rapid ly conducted away by the other, Xature.

The following extract from The Toll ers of the Sen," by Victor Hugo, shows J the rare descriptive power of the famous 1 author: . Such w.'.s the creature In whose power Gilliatthad fallen for-soiuo minutes. The monster w.is tie itiha": ltant of the grotto the terrible geuii of llie place. A kind of soinbro -'rn-on o tlie wn!er. All the Vpiciiors of the cavern existed for it alone, t-ii the day of the previous month whe Giiiiat: had first penetrated into the grot to, the 'dark outline, vai;'"e!y pere-ived r.y' him in the rippH of the secret waters, w.to this monster. U was, here- In its how. . When, cn!-rln for flio second ttm.i Info tho cavern In pur-nit of the cfVi. ho h.vl observed the crevice in which ho supposed that the crab hal taken refng-i, tho pifinrc Was there lying In wait for prey. Is it possible to imagine that secret am bush ? No bird would brood, no eg would burst to life, ne Sitwrr would dare to open, no breast to give milk, ni heart to love, no spirit to soar, under the inflnence of that apparition of evil watching with sinister patience In tho dusk. Giliialt had thrust h's arm deep Into the opeulng : the monster had snapped at it. It held him fast, as the spider holds the fly. - He was in the water up to his belt: his naked feet clutching the slippery round ness of Wio hnge stones at the bottom: his right arm bound and rendered power less by the flat coils of the long tentacles of the creature, and his body almost hidden under the folds and cross folds of this horrible bandage. Of the eiglit arms of the devil-fish, throa adhered to the rock, while five encircled Gilliatt. In Uds4 way. 'cTInglng to the granite on the one hand, and on the other to his human prey, it enchained him to the rock. Two hnndred and fifty suckers were upon hini, tormenting hits with a gonyand loathing. He was grasped by gigantic bands, the fingers of which were each nearly a yard long, and furnished In side with living blisters eating into the flesh. . As we have said. It Is Impossible to tear one's self from the folds of the devil-fish. The attempt ends otily in a firmer grasp. The monster clings with more determined force, its effort increases with that of its victim : every st niggle produces a tighten ing of his ligatures. liiiliatt had but one resource, his knifo. His h-ft hand only wns free, bnt th" t re;id'T knows with what power he could use it. It might have been said that' he had two right hands. i His open knife was in his hand. The antenna of the devil-fish cannot be cut : it is a leathery snlstance. impossible to divide with the knife : it slips under the edge: its position in attack also is such, that to cut it would be to wound the vic tim's own flesh. The creatnre is formidable, bnt there is a way of resisting it. The li-hermen of Sark know this, as does any one wbo has seen them execute certaiu abrnpt move ments in the s?a. The porpoise know It also : they have a w-ay of lilting the cuttle fish which decapitates it. Hence the fre quent sight on the sea of pea fish, poulps and cuttlefish without heads. The cephaloptera, in fact, Is only vul nerable through the head. Gilliatt was not Ignorent of this fact. He had never seen a devil-fish of this size. His first encounter was wij.h one of the larger species. Another won Id. have been powerless with terror. With the devil-fish, as wjtjr -a furious bull, there is a certain moment in the con flict which must lie seized. It is the in stant when the bull lowers the ueck ; it is the instant when the devil-fish advances its head. "The movement is rapid. Ho who lo es that moim-nt is destroyed. The things we have ibsnrioed occupied only a Jaw moments. Giiiiat;, however, felt the increasing power of its innumer able snckers. ' The monster Is cunning : it tries first to . stupefy its prey. It seizes, and then pauses awhile. Gilliatt grasped his knife; the sucking Increased. He looked at the monster, which seemed to look at him. Suddenly it loosened from the rock its sixth an:enna, and, darting it at him, seized him by the left arm. At the same moment it advanresjrMts head with a violent movement. Ii one second more its mouth would have lastened on his breast. Bleeding in the sides, and with his fwo armsentangled.lie would have been a dead man. But Gilliatt was watchful. He avoided the antenna, and at the moment when the monster darted forward to fasten on his breast, he struck it with the knife clenched in his left hand. There were two convulsions in opposite directions that of the devil-l sh and that of its prey. The movement was rapid as a double flash of lightning. He had plunged the blade of his knife into the Hat, slimy substance, and by a rapid movement, like the flourish of a whip in the air, described a circle round the two eyes, he wrenched the head off as a man would draw a tooth. The struggle was ended. The folds re laxed. The niMMier dropped away, like the slow detaching of hands. The four hundred suckers, deprived of their sus taining power, dropped at once f rom the man and the nick. The mass sank to the bottom of the water. Breathless with the struggle, Gilliatt could perceive nrxm the stones at his feet two shapeless, slimy heaps, the head on one side, the remainder ot the monster on the other. Fearine, nevertheless, somo convulsive return of his agony, he recoed to avoid the reach of the dreaded tentacles. Bnt the monster was qnite dead. Gilliatt closed his knife. A Remarkable Canary. A Milwaukee watchmaker has a com mon canary that sings " We won't go home till morning." Every note, writes one who heurd the flute-like tones, is as true and prompt as a French music box. Despite the animated appearance of the songster, it is so uncommon to hear the roystering melody given by an ordinary looking yellow bird, that listeners won der and look around doubt ingly, as if the sound came from a music iiox. The owner bred the bird, the parents being chosen for their voice and quality. As soon as It was born the education was begun with the aid of a mouth-organ. The bird was graduated in eight months. The canary can sing the one tune faultlessly, but that is the extent of its accomplish ments. ' We won't go home till morn ing." was played three times a day In the bird's hearing for eiuht months, and it is not surprising that it knows no other tune. he owner refused f3 for the bird.

Whllo we were waiting tine nwiriilng for a fish breakfast that- Miller and Charlie Earl a were pledged to si.pp'y us with. Miller noticed a long po'e in the water some dMance up the hnyou, "which is about fifty yards wkle at tiiis pobtt. It floated down the bnyoa until ojrposite our camp, and then suddenly turned and went backward quite rapidly. Then we saw that ft was a fishing rod and that a big fish mnnt'l-e at the end of the line. All was excitement in the camp. Our break fast was assured us. provided we could cnptur.0 that fish. How were wp to get Uf We had no boat, and the bayou was deep, the wafer cold, and our fishy friend on the "other slfle of the' bnj-bu, say forty yards away.. Somebody suggested mak eg a long raft, and Frank Farle eagerly grasped au axe and was about to make some young pine trees sick, when Charlie Earle sang out, '' Why not send tour dog for tt, KemVie " No sooner said ' than done. Charlie, my water spaniel, a mag nificent water dog, who likes nothing bet ter than swimming ami diving, had his attention directed to the fishing-rod by a tone thrown in Its neighborhood. He warn toward it, divined his errand, grab bed, the rod at the thick end and proceeded to swim back with it. " Our breakfast" at once noticed that Somebody else was bossing tii at roil, and he began to object Very vigorously. He tugged at the rod, and for a few moments it was a qnestion wbo would win. Finally, by a supreme effort, the fish made an immense dah,an4 actually pulled the dog (welching fifty two pounds) completely under water. First round for the tlsb. t'harlie came up looking I. alf drowned, but still holding the rod In his mouth. " Ho dropped it, however, and swam to shore, looking very pur.zlcd and annoyed. Having takeu breath he was a second time dist.aU bed to secure "our breakfast," which was now careering madly np the stream, no doubt chuckling to '" hlsse.lf as how he had fooled the dawg." Charlie again swam to the rod, grabbed the big end and began hauling it to shore. All was quiet until about half way to the - shore, when the fish began ih give battle. The struggle was tremendous, but result ed In a victory for the fish, whoagaln pull- r ed the dog completely under water. Sec ond rou iiii for the fish. The dog again returned to shore and was again sent out after our breakfast. He grasped the rod for a third time and . with a look of desperation on his hand some doggy face and a feeling In his breast, no doubt, that the honor of his race whs at. .stake, he swam toward the - shore. The fish tugged and tngged, but slowly and surely t'harlie reached the ehoie and laid the rod at my feet, and I then landed - rnaeniflcent red fish. As a matter of fact, this was the only fish caught on our fishing and ducking cxpe ditkin. We found out afterward that the rod had lee:i pulled by the fish at the end of it from the hands of a farmer's daugh ter who had Iwen fishing near her father's home. We found the owner and returned tho rod. Jv'ttc Hnven 1'aUadium, A Poker Story. The Inlander, at Dayton, this territory, relates that two lawyers named Jones and Perkins went from tbere to Walla Walla on business. Not being able to catch the return train that evening they each sent a telegram to their wives as follows: "AVill not be home to-night ; sea Mrs. Jones."" " Will hot be home to-night ; see Mrs. Per kins." The ladies got together and con cluded to reply and remind their husbands of some purchases they had promised to make, so the following dispatches were sent : " Don"t forget your errand ; tee Jones." '"Don't forget your erreiid : see Perkins." During the evening the gen tlemen tiecame lnteri stea in a hlghlv a nlgiilv an- imated game of poker. Jones had just planked dow n i75 on a big blntT and Per kins was abont to pass when his telegram was handed him. He read it and then on a pair of seven spots put in the " 1 bat's good," said Jones when the show down was made "but how in the devil did vou come to call me on thr.t hand " Without a word Perkins handed over the telegram. It read: "Don't forget your errend; see Jones." XcattU (,VF. I.) Chronicle. A nan, at Dntltr, and a Lamp Pott.

One day Willie's mamma missed a bank note which she was very certain she had put In a particular place. Thinking that Willie might have taken it for a plaything, not knowing Its value, she asked him if be had seen It. But Willie knew nothing abont It, neither did the nurse, nor any body in the honse. By -end-by papa came home. He pointed to a monse hole In the nnrsery floor, and -said the mouse must have stolen It! A carpenter came and took np the floor, and, sure enough, there was a nest of little mice all huddled down on the bank-note, which Mother Mouse had spread out as a lining for the nest. Other pieces of paper were found, all torn and ninbled, bat this being nice and soft had been saved for a blanket by the wise old mother. He Bit Hlmeeir.
