When any one complains of indigestion or an irrita ble stomach ho is at once advised to take a dose of sand. The treatment is nothing leas than a spoonful of common every-day river-bottom sand taken wet just after meals. It is said to have proven quite ■nccessful, and as there is no patent on it anyone can try it. The curative property of the sand is ascribed to its mechanical action on tha mucous lining of the walls of the stomach. There is plenty of sand in the river, and if the cure is effectual there is no reason why any one should suffer from dyspepsia, but the average sufferer will prefer a physicians prescrip tion or a bottle of patent medicine. It re quires sand to take sand but the remedy ought certainly to be worthy of trial. If it is as efficient as it is cheap the patent medicine man might just us well go out of business.—Oil City Derrick. —The home is our asylum, and the 1 ove of dear ones is our defense. In the plan cf divine Providence the home occupies a po sition of conspicuous importance. A hap py home is the prophecy of a useful life for every child reared tinder its benignant watchfjlness; a home in which discord pre vail sends its boys an l girls into the world with handioapped aspirations The child who carries sweet memories with him car li is also a shield for protection, but he wq 1 bears embittered memories falls easier prey to the evils which will attack. A happy hons in the btafcgrouud throws a a ralianoe on each succeeding day, even though the day ba stormy and tempestu °as. The good father lives in the life of the boy long after that father has crossed the threshold of a cemetery, and the good mother still speaks to the daughter when that daughter has children of her own. —The green sphinx caterpillars so fre quently found feeding upon the leaves of grapevines is often groatly burdened with 1 largo number of egg shaped cocoons of a parasitic insect, an ichneumon fly, the co coans sticking out of the caterpillar's skin the same as bristles on around brush. This paraxitic insect, on maturing in its shell, bursts the upper end thereof, crawls out, sod then sails fourth on its own wings. Tha minute ichneumon flies lay their tiny eggs in the skin of the caterpillar, and from these eggs hatch the larvie, which live within and get their nourishment from the caterpillar. The caterpillars infested by these parasites die before attaining ma turity; but if healthy caterpillars that are not burdened with the parasitic cocoons be found, it is possible to obtain a pupa or chrysalis which, when properly kept, will change the following year to a inoth be longing to the sphinx or hawk moths, which in the morning and evening twi light dart swiftly from flower to flower in search of honey as their food. —Here they come, four in a row. They ar# Batler High School girls yon know, Thev laugh, they sing and of course they talk, A they by fours down Main street walk. A good and a jolly crowd are they. Always the same day after day.

The red sun seta, the 17-year locusts, the big hazel nut crop, the thick corn-hunks, the heavy fea thers on the chickens —all these and doz ens of other sure indications are cited to torment ns in advance with the terrors of a tough winter. —Green-goods men are still working the country by sending their circulars through the mails.

Judge Taylor recently granted a non suit in a test case for damages against the Eclipse Oil company of Oil city that brings up the floods of' 92. It will be remember ed that the explosion of Berizine leaking from the Go's tanks killed anil injured doz ens and this case was that of a' man who lost his family in the fire and flood. About 30 similar suits were entered against the same company, and $3(JO,000 damages were claimed. When tbe constables of Centre county made their return to the last court at Belle fonte, the judge instructed them that un der aa act of the legislature they must de stroy or cause to be destroyed all Canadian thistles growing on public roads and lands or farms of the county. Any person al lowing these thistles to erow on his prern isea is liable to a line uf $5'J, and the con stable is hound to return those who do not destroy them. The Grand Jury, of Lebanon county, in its regular report, ccusured a number of justices of the peace who returned so many petty cases to the court and simply piled up costs for the county. Many of these cases could have been settled iu the office of tho justice, with r»ry little cost, and it the average justice of the peace were so disposed ho could savo the court a great deal of annoyance and the county consid erable expense. The tax payers of the county are the ones who pay the money for these petty c ;ses, and it is an imposi tion on the people to entertain them to the point of sending them to court. Lebanon is not the only county where this imposition is practiced. Butler has its share o! it, and there is not a session of criminal court held in which there is not a lot of petty cases that the parties in tho trial could n jt have been made to settle before they left the office of the justice.

The rob bers were pursued into Mercer Co. and captured, but they bad dropped the mon ey. ; The late rains have filled the creeks and rivers. There is high water is the Ohio lor the first time in months, and the twen ty-million bushels of coal in the pools above Davis Island dam, were started down the river. The grape picking season has begun in the Lake shore belt and pickers are dock ing into the vineyards from all over the country. Michael Cochrane of Darlington t*p, Beaver Co. butchered a cow at his place on .Saturday and was astonished to find in the stomach ol the animal a clevis such as is used on a plow, and a jewsharp. Mr. Chchrane missed the clevis some mouths ago and could not imagine where it had gone. As for the jewsharp he can not imagine where it came from. The remains of Lok Cbue, a laundry man who died in Pittsburg, last May, were tak en out of the receiving vault at Uniondale Cemetery Tuesday and shipped to China. The usual ceremonies were preformed. Thu bones of all Chinamen, who have any desire for a pleas mt hereafter, must rest | in Chinese soil. Bankers are getting in trouble in several places The Middletown bank, the old bank started years ago by Simon Cameron, was obliged to close its doors a couple ot week* ago, ana n<>w Oharies Kay tuond, ttie president, and Kd*ard liayinoud, the cashier, are both arre-ted for misapplying ibu funds.

Grimes Long, who died at New Castle last Sunday was an odd character. About twenty years ago he t»ok an oath that he would not get his hai.' cut until there was a Democratic president elected. When Cleveland was elected ho said at first he would get bis hair cut, but afterward changed his m:nd and said he bad got used to it long for years and wonld die that way. His brother died several years ago, anil a Disciple minister preached thefuner al sermon, during which he said he under stood the deceased was not a good man, but he wou'd pass that by, for he had Uo.v to do with the living. Grimes was pleased at the .-erinoii, and he went to the preach er and said: "You are the first d —n preacher that ever told the truth when he preached a funeral sermon, and I want you to preach mine. Yon can say the same thing about me, ftr I am not a" good man." Long was married vears ago while he was in the west, but for some cause de serted his wife. Ten years afterward ho went back to the west, and found his wife living with auother mau. He promptly turned over to her the deeds of his west ern oroperty and told her to stick to her new man. A singular thing about the fire that burned over a portion of the territory a'ong tie Alljgbeny V»lley road between Dußois and Falls Creek, is that a large number of the small trees are burned out by the roots.

The young trees grow up in boggy placo on decayed wood and grasses This dried under the roots of the growing trees and when the tire came along burned like punk. The trees fell to the ground like grass before a mowing machine, and are now dying.

Gottlieb Bassler, in Butler, and formed the Pittsburg Synod, consequently the present session of the Synod inaugura tes the first jubilee year in tho history of the Pittsburg body. An eloquent tribute was paid by the speaker to the memory of the late Rev. William A Passavant, who was ever a faithful worker for the cause of God and humanity. An unknown man, about 35 years old, committed suicide in a field just outside the borough limits of Wilkinsburg last Tuesday afternoon, by taking laudanum. The man was well dressed, weighed about 160 pounds, had black hair and wore a small black moustache Bis underwear and linen were ot fine quality. Uis shoes Avere fashionable. On ais shirt and lay down collar were written the name of "Phillips." Beside him, on the grass were found five half-ounce vials which had con tained laudanum, aud a small bottle of whisky. Ground was broken at Pelk, Tuesday, in the presence of a large crowd for the new asjlum for feeble minded at Polk, with appropriate eerimonies. State Sen ator Crawford turued the first sod. A large forco of men will bo set to work. Philip Halm, of Beaver Falls wbo was iujured by a train near ltock Point several weeks ago, underwent a novel operation near Ellwood, where he is staying. One of his legs had been amputated and the other seriously injured. Tho sole of his foot had entirely sloughed away, leaving the muscles and tendons exposed, and the doctors hoped by careful attention to secure a uew growth of skin. It was, therefore, decided to r sort to the experi ment of skin grafting. Drs. Shannon, of Eilwood, aud llazen, of North Sewickluy, selected seven young men, who consented to allow small patches of skin to be remov ed from their arms above the elbow. The operation was successfully preformed and the patient is doing as well as could be ex pected, aud the results are watched with great interest. Exposition Excusions Via Pittsburg <fc 'Western Ily.
