Don't eat too much. Last week the country east of tho Rockies was full of tedious philosophers and dabblers iu hygiene who poured fourth their streams of disgusting wisdom. Who wants to eat much when the curse of calorie has been laid upon him? Then the problem of the philoso pher is to find something that he wants to eat. But their is at least one man who needs no saws about the dangers of excess. Dr. Emmanuel Pfeiffer, of Bos ton, gives his stomach an annual vacation. Last year he allowed it twenty-one days. This year he lias kindly granted it thirty days. Water it can have but no food. The doctor doesn't believe in fast iug, but iu resting, and he be lieves in the power of the will. No Christian Scientist can culti vate the will more carefully than this diligent trainer of his stom ach does. The common herd of men is frightened after a fast of two or three days and will die of the fear of dying if supplies be still withheld. Dr. Pfeiffer is the master of his stomach and his soul. lie feels that ho improves his digestive apparatus by giving it a few weeks "off." Lie closes for repairs. At the end of the vacation he will resume business with improved facilities; and his first meal will be large and square No spoon vituals. Like so many other conquerers Dr. Pfeiffer does not extend into the atmosphere very far. He is of the broad school; weighed 201 J when vacation began lie has lost about a pound a day since. "What I throw off is waste," he says; "the good part stays with me." His forearm is hard. Grace fully rounded as ho is and of port ly bulk, he will jump up from a chair and without bending his knees put the palms of his hands on the floor. A hard thing for persons to do who haven't thrown off their waste. According to Dr. Pfeiffer, dis ease, ignorance and sin are one and the same, a trinity of evil. Are you ill? Stop eating for as many days as ho will prescribe and he will cure. Such is his theory and his promise; and he asserts that he has saved many lives by it." Pehaps some of his patients may have stomachs less accommodating and tractable than his stomach seems to be. In him that organ is a genius. When he stops eating, he stops wanting to eat. When the vacation ends his appetite returns to him, nat ural and strong. Such a thing it is to have a good stomach, an in genius theory and resolute will. N. Y. Sun. A little girl stopped a reporter the other day and asked him if he had heard of tho accident to Mr. B's cow. Of course ho had not and being anxious for an item of news he asked for the particulars, when tho little miss informed the reporter that the cow had slipped and strained her milk. Wilson Lautsbaugh was riding upon a load of oats at its home near Sh'ppensburg last Wedues dijy, The horses which were at tached to the wagon, were mov ing along steadily when suddenly the wagon passed over a large stone and the horse gave a jerk. The sudden jolt made Mr Lauts baugh lose his balance and ho fell from the load of oats to the ground with great' force. In falling his head struck a stone in tho road and besides cutting his head se verely his skull was fractured. The Fulton County Newm$1 per year. t ANOTIIEH OLD STONE CtllRCH (Continued from ptiKO I.) did later at McComiollsburg, and the Presbyterian church at Fort Loudon ceased to be. Thus Mr. Jewett labored till the fall of 1834. Tho last record of his labors is under date of Nov. 2, 1834, and is as follows: "Mr. Jewett administered communion on this day, Sunday, 2nd of No vember. After this he removed to the West. The Kev. Lcauder Kerr com menced his labors in the Stone, or White church as tho successor of Mr. Jewett on Jan. 31, 1836, and continued to be the regular minister till Dec. 14, 1840, when he resigned to acept the apoint mcut of Chaplain in the U. S. army and was assigned to duty at one of the frontier posts. While preaching at McConnells burg and Loudon he married a daughter of Squire McKinstry and sister of tholato Wm. McKin stry of Mercersburg. The last record of Mr. Kerr's services reads as follows: "Dec. 14, 140, preaching in Stone church by Rev. Kerr. " Mr. Kerr was tho last pastor of the Hock that had been drawn together by the personal magnet ism and popular ways of the Rev, M. A. Jewett. The movement inaugurated by him 14 years be fore had no solid basis. Congre gationalism did not find a con genial elementin McConnellsburg or the Great cove. Hence, after a time disintegration began to take place. For the above reason and not from any want of fidelity on his part this came to be keenly felt during the latter part of Mr. Kerr's pastorate; and after its termination the organization practically ceased to exist. Dur ing tho pastorate of Mr. Jewett, but more especialy that of Mr. Kerr, the stone church was oc casionally occupied by ministers of other denominations perhaps more frequently by tho Metho dist than any other denomination as they were for a long time with out a house of worship. There is record also of their occasionally occupying "the Brick church," when its pastor Rev. N. G. White was absent. On one and only one occasion is there mention made of preaching service in the Stone church by a minister of the Reformed church during the ministry of Mr.' Jew ettand Mr Kerr. This is found un der date of Aug 12, 1638 and reads: "Preaching in the Luther an and Independent churches by Revs. Saum and Good." The Re formed congregation was accus tomed to worship statedly in the Lutheran church. In the record above quoted it is not stated iu which church Mr. Saum and Mr. Good respectively preached, but it is natural to suppose that the Lutheran pastor (Mr. Saum) oc cupied the pulpit of the Lutheran church, and Mr. Good, that of the Independent or Stone church. For at least six or seven months after Mr. Kerr left namely from Dec. 14, 1840 to Juno G, 1841 there does not appear to have been any service whate.'er in the Stone church. During this- time the Reformed people continued to worship regularly in the Luther an church. Here are dates of the services by the Reformed congre gation iu the Lutheran church, covering tho year from June 14. 140 to June ti, 1841 Rev. Good prmehing each time: June 14 and 28, July 20, Aug. 24, Sept. 20, Oct. IS, Nov. 1, 13. and 29. Dec. 27, 1810, and Jan. 24, Feb. 21, March 21, and June 6, 1841. Services may have been, and most likely were held between March 21 and June (J 1841. But we find no record of it. How long after Juno 0, 1841 the Reformed people continued to worship in the Lutheran church the writer lias no means of know ing. But some time between June 0, 1841 and 1848, or in 1848, the Reformed congregation be gan to regularly occupy the Stone or White church. We say proba bly in 1848; for in that year the old Lutheran church was torn down and the present house of worship built. During the rebuilding of their church the Lutheran people worshiped in the Stone church also. The Reformed people con tinued to occupy the Stouo or White church to the year l8'JG without interruption or molestation except on one occa sion. On June 4, 1854 an attempt was made by a United Brethren minister and certain members of that denomination to take forci ble possession of tho church. It seems that either by standing arrangement or by previous ap pointment tho Reformed people were entitled to the use of. the church on that particular Sab bath. Hence tho attempt of the United Brethren was resisted and a row ensued. This resulted in suit being instituted by tho Reformed people against the of fending party of the United Brethren church, four in num ber, iu which they were charged with riot, forcible entry and as sault and battery. On Oct. 24, 1854, the grand jury ignored the first count in the indictment (riot) and found a true bill on the second and third couuts (forcible entry and as sault and battery). Ou tho samo day the petit jury found tho four defendants guilty of forcible entry, and one of them of assault and battery also. And on tho following day they were sen tenced to pay tho costs and each defendant a fine of one dollar. In this suit the question of titlo to the property was not at all in volved, but it was simply a ques tion as to who was entitled to tho use of the church that day. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. The old Stone or White church has not been occupied as a place of worship since 1WG, when tho Reformed people erected their beautiful and convenient house of worship and ceased to occupy the old church. At the time of the erection of the church no title to the land on which it stands was given by Mr. Darrah, to whom tho farm from which the lot was taken belonged On the 19th of January 1839, Mr. George W. Darrah, then liv ing in Michigan, made his will, appointing his son, Lewis Darrah, and John Duflield executors. On April 25, 1845, Lewis Darrah, who describes himself as the surviv ing executor of Geo. W. Darrah, taking into account that the "Society" in whoso interest the house of worship had been erect ed ou his father's land had ceased to exist, and that the formation of this "Society" through the ef forts aud influence of Mr. Jewett had grown out of the Presbyter ian church and had received its financial aid and impulse mainly from those who had previously belonged to the Presbyteriau church and who afterwards re sumed their places in it, (such people as tho Aguews, thellokes, the Austins, the Bohns, the Mc Clellands, &c), made the deed of the property to the Presbyterian congregation, thou under the pas toral care of the Rev. N. G. White "for the only proper use and bo hoof of the same, their success ors aud descendants forever." This deed was recorded in Bed ford in 1840, Fulton county at that time beiug part of Bedford county. This deed is held by tho Pres byterian congregation through their board of trustees. The Re formed congregation have occu pied the building for about half a century. There is no evidence that any contribution toward the erection of the Stone church came from persons of tho Reformed church. It is said by one who claims to know that tho name of none are to bo found in the list of sub scribers to that object. This was to have been expected of a people of so commendably conservative and churchly spirit. They have kept up the repairs while occupying it, having had free use of it beyond this. Five years ago they vacated it to oc cupy their new church edifice. The question is started: Under all these circumstances to whom does the Stone church property belong? The great desire of the writer has been and is that a proper un derstanding of this question might bo reached in an amicablo way. Ever since his college days at old Marshall he lias stood in very closo relation to Reformed ministers and churches, and ho depreciates anything like unsoem ly strife, and especially litigation. In this ho feels that he also voices the sentiment of tho people whom he servos. Eruptions, cuts, burns, scalds and sores of all kinds quickly healed by DeWitt'8 Witch Hazel Salvo.

A good mauy persona seem to bo unaware when they aro guilty of disorderly conduct. They do all sorts of things in public, on the streets, at public gatherings aud in street cars and elsewhere, aud appear to think they have a perfect right to annoy every one near them by word and deed. A recent legislative enactment may bo referred to here for the benefit of such persons. Any one who makes, or causes to bo made, any loud, boisterous and unseeming noiso or who, by using profane or obscene language, disturbs or annoys any one who is a passen ger on any railroad or railway carj or who may be a visitor at any public or private park or picnic grounds kept for public amuse inent, whereby the public eace is disturbed or broken, shall be deemed guilty of the offenco of disorderly conduct and, if con victed of the same before any magistrate shall be sentenced to Iay costs of prosecution and a fine of ten dollars, and, in default of such payment, shall bo sent to the county jail for a period of not more than thirty days. The law is a pretty broad one, and instan cos occur almost daily within the notice of most readers which fail within its provisions. What is lacking is more gener al enforcement of it. Milton Standard. Charles Baker, of Carlisle, mourned as (lend for eleven years, suddenly appeared at his home Thursday. His mother at first could not b'llievo her eyes. When ho established his identity there was great rejoicing. During his absence Baker had traveled over a great portion of the world, and recently served in the Philip pines as a soldier. P. T. Thomas, Sumterville, Ala., "I was suffering from dys pepsia when I commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1 took several bottles and can digest anything." Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is tho only preparation con taining all tho natural digestive lluids. It gives weak stomachs entire rest, restoring their nat ural condition. Trout's drug store. An old farmer, relates an ex change, visiting the city for the first time, thought he would at tend the theatre, the play boing "Forty Thieves." Ho went to the opera house at the appointed hour, laid down a $5 bill and asked for a mighty good seat, He was deftly served with a piece of paste board and a silver dollar iu change. He picked up the dol lar but left the ticket aud started to go out. "Hold on stranger," said the showman, "here is your ticket to the show." "Keep it dern yer," replied tho farmer, "I don't care to see the other thirty-nine."

The sensible way to help the stomach is, to use Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which digests what you eat and can't help but do you good. Trout's drug store. Didn't Trust Banks. Farmer Jared Wilcox, of Lynn, Susquehanna county, recently became suspicious of banks, and withdrawing 900, placed it in a stocking, which he hid in a trunk in tho attic of his house. Ho had occasion to uso some money on Wednesday, and upon going to tho trunk he found that mice had made a nest with the notes. Ho will send the remnants to tho Re demption Bureau, hoping to se cure redress. This is another evidence of mis guided judgment on tho part of the farmers who draw their money from banks and hido it about their houses. Such per sons take many risks by so doing. The house may burn, thieves may break through and steal, mice have made nests of tho green backs. This is Bryan's oppor tunity to revive the lost cause. Had the Susquehanna county far mer drawn $900 in silver, the mice could not have had such a picnic, j Had Lost His Bearings. A. Mississippi man was travel ing through Arkansas with a native-evangelist as his companion. They had ridden in silence and finally the Mississippian, who wanted to bo sociable, asked his companion where he was going. "I am on tho road to heaven," answered the evaugclist in a sep ulchral tono. "How long have you been on tho road?" asked the Mississippian. "Eighteen years my brother "answered the preach er with a solemn sigh. "Well seo here rne friend," remarked the Mississippian as he reined up his horse, "if you've been on the road to heaven for eighteen years and haven't got any farther than Arkansas I don't care to travel with you. Why man, you ain't a mile and half from hell right now." Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Ben nettsville, S. C, was once im mensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," lie writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great dis tress from her stomach, but sho tried Electric Bitters which help ed her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it's a positive, guaran teed cure. Only 50c at W. S. Dickson's. To Walk Gaacefully. ' In order to preserve a grace ful figure good walking and a cor rect balauce are essential. Very few people know how to walk gracefully. The shoulders should bo thrown back, the spine should be straightened and the back, just below the waist line, curved inwards. The legs should swing free from the hip-joint, and the weight of the body should be thrown upon the balls of tho feet, not upon tho heels. Correct walking means a light, elastic-, springy step, and a correspond ing souse of freedom of action. If you walk correctly you will not get easily tired, and tho exercise will be beneficial to the whole frame, bringing tho muscles into vigorous action and aiding the proper circulation of tho blood.
