DISGRACEFUL OCCURRANCE.
i Last Saturday the two senators
j from South Carolina, Tillman
and MeLaurin, had a personal dif
ficulty in the senate, during which
I several blows were passed and
Tillman was st ruck <>n the nose
which caused the blood to llow.

terribly provoked by Tillman, but.
even then there was no excuse fop

When the stomach is diseased the
organs depending on the stomach for
nutrition are starved. Starvation means
weakness of the body and its organs.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
these organs are cured, diseases of heart,

diseased stomach, are cured also.

Railways in France are forbidden to
carry persons visibly or notoriously af
fected by contagious diseases in com
partments that are used by the public.
In the second place, the daily cleaning
and the periodical disinfection of all
cars are required. Linens of sleeping
cars must bear a ticket indicating to
the passenger the date of the last
cleaning, and they must he properly
washed and afterward subjected to a
high temperature. Dry sweeping and
dusting, which only serve to scatter
disease germs, are prohibited, it being
required that ail floors, seats and wood
work be wiped with cloths moistened
with some antiseptic solution.
The Arctic Weasel.
In cold countries where snow pre
vails during a long winter many of the
animals change the hue of their coats
to a white tint. The arctic bear and
fox are white throughout the year.
The northern hare is brown in summer
and white in winter. The weasel is
especially curious. It retains its brown
coat until the first suow appears and
then whitens in a few hours.

Snails ns Window Cleaners.
“An old colored womansellingsnaiis, ’
says the Philadelphia Record, "occa
sionally makes her appearance in South
street, and sometimes she may also be
found along Front street or Second
street, up in the district that used to be
known as the Northern Liberties, fene
carries an old basket in which the snails
repose on freshly sprinkled leaves.
These are not sold as food, but for
cleaning the outside of window panes—
an old practice still in vcgiie in Ken
sington. The snail is dampened anti
placed upon the glass, where it at once
moves around and devours all insects
and foreign matter, leaving the paue as
bright and clear as crystal. There are
old established business place in Ken
sington where the upper windows, when
cleaned at all, arc always cleaned by
snails. There is also a line market for
snails among the owners of aquariums,
as they keep the glass efrau and
bright.”

The value of a recipe lies partly in its

Had His Suspicions.
Tim Murphy had run up a small
bill at the village shop. He went to
pay it- and wanted a receipt.
“Oh, we never give receipts for
these smali amounts,” grumbled the
proprietor. “See, I will cross your
account off the book.” And he drew
a pencil diagonally across it. “There
is your receipt,” he added.
“Do ye mane that that settles it ?”
asked Pat.
“Certainly.”
“And ye'll Diver be asking for it
again ?”
“We’ll never ask you for it
again,” said the other decidedly.
“Faith, thin,” said Pat, “and I’ll
be after kapin’ me money in me
pocket, for I haven’t paid it yet.”
“Oh, well,” was the angry retort,
“I can rub that out.”
“Faith, and I thought as much,”
said Pat slyly.
The proprietor of that establish
ment now Issues a receipt for the
smallest amount.—London Tit-Bits.
