The Rev. C. F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge 111., says : “Your trial bottle of Asthma lene received in good condition. I cannot tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it.

A and tleauirkable Meal Served In .lavn. “At 1 o’clock.’’ says :i correspondent of the Kansas City Star, "every bold In Java serves a most distinctive amt remarkable meal called the rice table (rijst-uifei). A large, iiat. bowl shaped dish is placed in front of you, which you fill with beautiful, white, flaky rice, borne about itidisliis balding fully a quarter of a bushel. Thin eomes a seemingly never ending .-.:ream of na lives, each hearing a dish containing sonic different meat, vegetable or can diluent, front which you take a small portion and place it on top of the rice. "Alter you have had a little of every thing you mince It up with a knife and fork and mix it well wi'li the rice and then fail to with a large spoon. A lisi of the side dishes, with an ordinary rice tnlile. would read something like tills: Fried eggs, omelet, fried chicken, broiled chicken, stewed chicken, beef steak, sausage, flsb, fritters, a mixture . of vegetables stewed with a mustard dressing, raw cucumbers, liver and ten or twelve different spices and relishes, besides pickles. Many a stout Dutchman have we seen take a liberal helping from each dish In addition to almost a quart of rice for a background of -table.’ Natu rally every one must go to sleep fiuine i dlately after such a meal, and all busi ness is suspended for several hours. The dinner in the evening at 8 o’clock is a very simple meal.” The Wron* Room. “While spending a vacation at Bed- j ford Springs. Pa., some years ago,” said a Baltimore lawyer the other day. “I went late one night to my room, as I supposed, unlocked the door and was startled by a woman’s screams. I re alized at once that 1 bad fcot Into the' wrong room. You may be sure I did not waste any time getting out Into the corridor, locking the door again and entering my room, which happen ed to be the next one. “While I was doing this the woman continued screaming, alarming the whole hotel. A crowd soon gathered, and when the woman could be per suaded to open the door she declared there was a man in her room. Of course no Intruder was found, and. as the door was locked when the crowd gathered, the lady was told that she must have had a nightmare and imag ined she saw a man In her room. I kept quiet, and every one else in the hotel was convinced that the lady’s im agination bud worked upon her fears.” —Baltimore #un. Popular Weather Notions. How often do we bear the remark, "We shall have rain, the atmosphere Is so heavy.” The reverse Is true; When one sees mnoke banging from ft chimney, with a tendency to sink to the ground, it indicates that the at mosphere is light—in fact too light to float the smoke. When the stnobe rises from the chimney, It indicates 8 heavy atmosphere. A column of smokfe is not a bad barometer, for a barometer simply records the pressure of the at mosphere. When the atmosphere is light and the smoke settles, the pres sure on the mercury is light, and the column falls, indicating storm. When the atmosphere is heavy and the smoke rises, the pressure is greater and the column rises, indicating fair weather. Pleasure seekers and others before starting out should therefore watch the smoke. * The Three D’*. “Down In Greensboro,” said a citizen of that North Carolina town, “I knew three •drummers.’ They seemed to be boon companions. The first one travel ed for a large brewing company in Bal timore, and the second represented a wholesale drughouse In the west. These two men, while going through the south, fell In with a man who was selling coffins to undertakers In the country towns. When the trio reached Greensboro to spend Sunday—you know all the ‘drummers’ come into Greensboro to spend Sunday—they had already been christened the three D’s— Drinks.

His wife was insane, and one day she esenped from her keepers and, dabbling her clothes in blood, rushed upon her husband while he wns dozing In his chair. King Frederick imagined her to be the white lady whose ghost was believed to appear whenever tbe death of a member of the royal family wns to occur, and he was throwu into a fever and died In six weeks. The Attraction. Gladstone told Lord Ronald Gower that once when he visited Rome lie ac cidentally met Macaulay, who intro duced himself to the statesman. On Macaulay’s telling him that he took a duily walk in St. Peter’s, Gladstone asked him what most attracted him in that place. “The temperature,” was the answer. Very Likely.
