IN France, we learn from a medical journal that it is forbidden under severe penalties for any one to give infants un­ der one year old any form of solid food, unless such be ordered by written pre­ scription, signed by a legally qualified medical man. Nurses are also forbidden to use in the rearing of infants confined to their care, at any time or under any pretext whatever, any nursing bottle provided with a rubber tube. Such regu­ lations in this country would create con­ sternation in some of our modern social circles. -- MRS. J. W. PRIM died at her home in Woodstock, on Thursday last, after a long illness.

Hubbard has announced himself as a candidate for the office of Collector of that township for the coming year. He has filled this office acceptably for two years, and being in poor health the vot­ ers of that township can do. him no greater favor than by giving him a unani mous nomination. His many friends here hope to see him succeed. MARRIED.--On the 4th inst., at the residence of the brides ftther, by ftev. Dr. Straub, of McHenry, Miss Mary A. Ladd and Mr. 0. P.

The affair throughout was very pleasant. The bride and groom will stop for a short time at Ringwood. -- COM. IT sounds passing strange in these days of cheap oats, cheap corn and cheap barley, and butter at a good price, to hear farmers talking about their grain. There are three pounds of butter in a bushel of oats or corn or barley when fed to a butter producing cow. Can a man sell his grain at a better price, in these hard times than'turn it into but­ ter? Some men seem fearfully afraid of trusting the cow, while they go it blind oa a horse or a hog. COL. JOHN HAY, Lincoln's private sec­ retary and biographer, will contribute to AfcClure's Magazine for March a paper on Ellsworth, the young colonel of the Ellsworth Zouaves, who was shot down, at the beginning of the war, by an Alex­ andria tavern-keeper. Though but twenty-four at^his death, Ellsworth had had a very romantic career; and Col. Hay, having been especially intimate with him, knows all the details of it. His paper will embrace extended passages from a very interesting journal left by Ellsworth; and it will be illustrated with several portraits and other pictures. THE following, which we clip from an exchange will be appreciated by those who have ever experienced or observed the effects of the malady: "Backward, turn backward, 0 time in your flight. Give me the nose that I breathed through last night, bring back the smeller that two days ago. knew not the torment of continual blow. Wipe from mustache the moisture of sneeze, put wooden splints on my poor weakened knees. Rub my red nose as you oft have before with tal­ low, dear mother, 0 it is so sore. Back­ ward, turn backward, O tide of the nose! I am so tired from my head to my toes Tired out with moping, coughing and sneezing; wearing of handkerchief con­ stantly seizing. I have grown weary of sniffle and snuff, of wiping my bugle until it is rough ; stick my poor head in a big pillow slip, and sew it up, mother, for I have la grippe." OBITUARY, Wauconda Correspondent WaukegMt^hzelte, John D. McCabe was born May 16th, 1849, on a farm iu the towi of Waucon­ da. tHe was the youngest of a family of seven children. On January 27, 1880, he marriad Sarah A. Coyle in McHenry, Rev. Father O'Neill performing the mar­ riage ceremony. He resided on the farm with his father until 1882 when he re­ moved to Wauconda and engaged in business there until the time of his death, which occurred Mar -h 1, 1896. His funeral was held in the Catholic church March 3, and his remains laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery. The same pastor who officiated at his marriage conducted the funeral ceremonies. Besides his beloved wife he leaves to mourn his loss, an aged father, three brother, James, the eldest, who resides at the homestead; Martin, of Carson- Nev.; Michael, of Chicago, and one sis. ter, Mrs. Mary White, also of Chicago. With the exception of Martin all were present at his funeral. John lived four­ teen years in Wauconda and made friends with everybody. He had a hearty laugh which made him hosts of friends wherever he went. His wife has the sym­ pathy of her many friends in her hour of need. Proceeding's of the Board of Trustees ' .

THE COLUMBIA CALENDAR The Highly Artistic Product ion forlS96. Bright I ho lights by Qnlumbia Riders and Much Useful Information, The Columbia Pad Calendar for 1896 has made its appearance, representing the eleventh annuil issue, and handy and convenient as it has been heretofore, the new issue certainly surpasses any of its predecessors. The cycling fraternity to say nothing of the general public, has acquired a decidedly friendly feeling for the Columbia Calendar, and its annual advent is looked forward to with interest and pleasure. The new calendar con­ tains a much better arrangement than in previous years, more space having been allowed for memoranda, jvhile,a greater charm has been added by liberal illustra­ tions and a unique and convenient grouping of dates, calculated to meet the hurried needs of business men. All these, however, merely form a setting for the bricht and sparkling thoughts con­ tributed by Columbia riders everywhere; for suc^ji host of friends has the calen­ dar acquired that it has become custom­ ary practice for wheelmen all over the country to jot down their best thoughts and inspirations after being subjected to the exhilarating influence of a Columbia ride, and to send them in to brighten its pages. In addition to these pleasing fea­ tures the moon's phases are indicated for the benefit of those who wish to know the best time for night riding. The many dainty sketches that embelish its pages render it indeed a work of art. Owing to the unusual demand last year a much larger edition has been issued for 1896. The calendar can be obtained for ii ve 2-cent stamps by addressing the Calen­ dar Department of the Pope Manufactur­ ing Company at Hartford, Conn. Get your Spring Hat at J. J. Miller's and have the right style. Don't fail to see my samples and styles of Wall Paper and learn my prices before yon buy.
