Tbe No. 15 Empire Acorn I bought of yon gives good satisfaction. It can't be beat. WM. TKSCH. Owe PsnaMla. Take six to ten onions, according to Blie, and chop flue; put in a large spi­ der over a hot fire, then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to make it a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir It thoroughly, let­ ting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply it to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When It gets cool, apply another and thus continue by reheating the poul­ tices. In a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed in tlila too often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until perspiration starts freely from the chest. This simple remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best phy­ sicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by this dis­ ease and won his renown by saving persons by simple remedies after the best medical talent had pronounced their cases hopeless, Personally we know of three persons who were saved by the remedy last winter in Boston after their physicians had given them up to die, and if a record was made of all similar cases during the last six years it wotjld All a good sized vol­ ume.--"The World's Progress." , The stove I bought Of &*,J lent satisfaction.

They have a reporter on one of the Williamsburg papers who may not be much on style, but for placid, nervy "get there" he is a Jewel. A little while ago he was assigned to a politi­ cal meeting and asked to give a good report of it. Now, it happened that the festivities were conducted entirely in Polish, a language of which the young man knows nothing. This fact, however, did not feaze him a bit. He made his' way through the hall, pushed up to tbe platform and sat down with the secretary. For several minutes he industriously took notes and Anally the secretary, turning to him, pumped out a volley of Polish. "I am not in it dear boy," retorted the young man as he turned again to' listen to the speaker. The secretary looked surprised.

Schabelitz, the famous Zurich publisher and author, was a shrewd business man, an excellent lin­ guist, a skillful writer and probably the taost savage publisher who ever lived. When he accepted the famous memoirs of Count von Arnim, he wrote on the postal card with the acceptance the proviso, "1 reserve the right to cor­ rect your infernally bad grammar." To an aspiring poet who had sub­ mitted manuscript he answered by postal card: "I refuse to be disgraced by printing your doggerel. I don't re­ turn the copy because you didn't in­ close enough postage. If you will send It, with the price of this card, I will send it to you, but I don't think the stuff Is worth the expense on your part" One of his postal cardB to a novelist read about as follows: "For heaven's sake, come and take away the unnam- able mass of paper you left here for me to look at!" An ambitious historian was crushed by the following, written, like all of his correspondence, upon a postal card: "You are making the mistake of your life. You don't flrant to study history. You want to learn how to write."--Sat­ urday Evening Post Y* AMERICAS MOST POPULAR RAILROAD £ 1% PERFECT PASSENGER SERVICE BETWEEN Ancient Cattle and Butchering. The earliest records of Egypt depict a butcher cutting up an ox. exactly as it Is done today outside of the great slaughtering establishments, with a knife that he sharpened upon a steel that hung at his side and providing cuts of meat precisely like ours. They used leather, and they did better tanning than we do; the blood, instead of being processed Into fertilizing, was used for cooking purposes, and our Spanish friends never see a better bull­ fight than was dally purveyed for the delectation of those ancient "sports." A little later In the world's history we find records of tricks being plsLyed in the cattle trade, for do4 not some historians aver that Jacob exercised undue influence upon the cOws of La- ban's herds as well as upon the ewes of his flocks?
