The wind got in behind the large pine door that comprises the greater part of the front of the shed of the Nace livery stable on Clay street; lifted it up, tore it from its binges and carried it diagonally across the street to the rear end of the Kirkpatrick grocery, where it hit a telephone post and de scended. grazing the head of a school girl as it did so. Mr. Nace, at first, thought of using his unpatented air ship for atrial excursions, this summer, but on second thought resolved to stick to his livery business, which is one of the bast in Butler. —Some years ago'some of the young men of this town got iu tbe habit of taking a "cannibal sandwich" with their beer, of an evening. These sand wiches consist of a layer of Hamburger steak (raw meat) covered with mustard, between two slices of bread or biscuit; and shortly after this habit became common, about a hundred cases of tape worm appeared in the town, which, the doctors traced to the rare and raw meat eaten. A tape-worm does the victim no harm, but it increases the appetite so inordinately as to become an expensive nuisance; and then a little fasting and one dose of the proper medicine—pow dered pomegranate bark—followed by a dose of salt 9 causes it to disappear. But an Italian medical man has lately made the discovery—or rather claims to have made it—that a tape-worm in the sys tem is a sure cure for tuberculosis,com monly called consumption, and if this proves true there will probably be a boom in tape-worms. ttitter & Rockenstein have 50 men's ten and twelve dollar overcoats to sell for $7.00.
