In the July Arena is an amusing negro character sketch describing an attempt to fix the responsibility for the breaking up of a church meeting. A number of arrests and counter arrests had been made, and after the evidence was ail sifted out the following state of facts appeared: A woman was milking a cow, when a "domernick rooster" suddenly flapped its wings and crowed on the roof of the cow shed. The woman was startled and fell against the cow, which kicked a colored boy, who threatened to kill the cow. To quiet him his father took him and his dog away from the premises and to a negro meeting. At the meeting a colored sister got religion and hugged the boy's father in her ecstacy. This disturbed the dog and the son, who "sicked'' the dog on the woman with disastrous results. To quiet the disturbance an elder called out for some one to sing, but, in his excitement, instead of mentioning a hymn, as he in tended, he asked that the theme should be "dat good ole song, 'Granny, Will To Dog Bite T" Some of the sisters started up this tune, which so enraged the ,?ood Christians present that they pitched in and cleaned out the whole establishment. Af ter hearing the various stories the court discharged all the parties and decided that the real culprit was the "domernick roost ter." —Early last month, in the little town of Muscatine, lowa, the houses of three citi zens were torn badly, and one completely destroyed, by some explosive, probably gunpowder. There were some eighteen persons in the three dwellings at the time —shortly after midnight—including a num ber of women, and their escape from death was very strange. One of the houses be longed to the editor of a prohibitionist pa per, another to an attorney, and the third to a citizen, all of whom had been engag ed in suits against liquor sellers in the town. The crime, which was as dastardly as can be imagined, was generally and reasonably charged upon the liquor sellors. A reward of SIO,OOO was offered lor the de tection of the offenders, but, so far as wo are informed, in vain. The prohibitionists are naturally very angry, and in their an ger they denounce all who oppose prohi bition, including Gov. Boies. There they make a serious mistake. The crime was bad enough, and the guilty, if caught, should suffer the utmost penalty. But a man may share the criminal's disapproval of prohibition without approving his crime. We may concede —what is true —that the liquor business is demoralizing in its ten dency, and that the percentage ot lawless, ness is fur largei among liquor drinkers than among these who never drink liquor, but it does not follow that prohibition is the only, or even the best, preventive 01 the crimes to which liquor drinking tends. Prohibition does not always work well. In some communities it does not work at all. To recognize these simple facts does not imply sympathy with cowardly scoundrels who seek to kill their opponents by blow ing up their houses. There is room for temperance even in the fight against "Rum." —lf you decide to buy Hood's Sarsapar illa, do not be induced to take any other medicine. —Any physician who forbids patients to eat bread is likely to be pointed out as a crank, and to lose a great deal of practice. However, some do it, and claim that ex cellent results follow. The now famous Dr. Saulsbury has become quite heroic in this matter. Patients who have fibroid tu mors, enlarged glands, catarrh of the head, stomach or bowels, enlarged or stiff joints, excessive discharges of tough phlegm from the lungs, suffering from serious kidney disorders or general delibiJy, due to lack of nutrition on account of imperfect diges tion and assimilation of food, are required to give up all food except chopped, lean beef, and all drinks except hot water. This is heroic, but it is certainly effective in many instances where medicine has fail ed. From one to two pounds of beef may be eaten daily, and from one-half to one gal lon of hot water drank during the same time. Those who are following this hero ic form of treatment say it is in no way unpleasant, and the results are certainly very gratifying. The philosophy of the treatment is that the water, which is the best known solvent for fibrin, dissolves it and facilitates its elimination from the system, while the red beef—the round steak —furnishes all' the essential blood elements with the smallest percentage of fibrin, and of snt stances that lerment readily. It is said that it fibroid tumors melt rap idly under this treatment, that deposits 01 fibrin are quickly dissolved and washed out, and that catarrhs cease for want of frabftancc. Drunkenness, the Lquor Habit, Posi tively Cured by administering Dr. Haines "Golden Specific." It is manufactured as a powder, which can be given in a glass of beer, a cup of coffee or tea,or in food, without the know ledge of the patient. It is absolutely harmless, and will affect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a mod erate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. It has been given in thousands of cases, and in every instance a perfect cure has followed. It never fails. The system once impregnat ed with the Specific, it becomes an utter impossibility for the liquor appetite to ex ist. Cures guaranteed. 48 page book 01 particulars free.

" —The late Mr. Tilden's physician had a considerable inducement to keep his dis tinguished patient on this mundane sphere as long as possible, under a promise of SSO a day for his services. Unfortunately for him, however, it was only a verbal agree ment, and when he put in a claim for $143, 350 and interest, Mr. Tilden's executors seemed to have thought a doctor's billo($18- 250 a year extending over a period of a few days less than eight years, somewhat excessive and refused to pay it. It has been pending for live years and has finally been settled by the executors agreeing to pay him SSOOO a year for eight years, with interest, lileeding was supposed to have fallen largely in disuse in medical practice but it seems to be still effective—when ap plied to the patient's executors.

The snake i« three feet long and about fonr inches in greatest circumference. On its long journey it was kept comatcse in a re frigerator, but hardly had it been unloaded when Minnesota's sun began to thaw it out. A fruit vender of a city was march ing out of the store with the bunch of ban anas hung over his shoulder, when a by stander called out to him. The man turn ed about and saw the snake on a level with his eyes, looking at him as though wonder ing what next was to be expected. The bananas were dropped and the vender's optics fairly bulged out of his head. He might possibly have heard of finding taran tulas in a bunch of bananas, but a boa con strictor was too much. The snake was fed yesterday for the first time after his five week's fast. A mouse was dropped into hi? box. He wound himself about his vic tim and squeezed the life out of it and then swallowed it whole. Animal Curiosities. A Jersey cow in Liberty township. Ti oga county, gives 50 pounds of milk a day.

Are ahead of them all, chiefly among them is the display of pure liquors manu factured in the State.

North, East, South and West they lead all others because they are pure; because they are reliable, and beause they are stimulants that strengthen and invigorate.

Sam left tho show just prior to tho wrecking of the circus train at Tyrone, Pa., and as his traveling mate wu kdled there, figures that deserting tho show saved his life.
