A German scientist claims to have invented a now method of making beer, which will enable a rAan to carry a miniature beer garden about with him in his vest pocket. The invention consists of a small tablet, which, when dropped into a glass of ice water, transforms its contents into cool sparkling beer, of the best quality. The possibilities of the invention open up a wide field for speculation. His Life Was Saved. Mr. .J. E.

Pursuit vs. Possession. Editor Dispatch -We talked last week about’ wiregrass biscuit. I don’t mean biscuit made of wire- grass, but from wheat grown on wiregrass land. And before this letter is in print the wheat crop in South Georgia will he harvested and in the barn and the fun will be about over. The work of threshing, clean¬ ing, washing, drying, mitting—all intervene between the farmer and his home-raised biscuit. The pur¬ suit of some things is more enjoyed than the possession of them, and Southern grown wheat is one of those things and matrimony is an¬ other. Not one person in a hun¬ dred realizes in marriage what they anticipated. It would be impossible for realization to meet expectation. A young girl becomes “thunder¬ struck” to get married. Her eye is fixed upon her “feller”—she talks about him, dreams about him; in fact she is a dunce about him. To have him for a husband would be a heaven below. IIis presence would be food and raimfcnt, liis voice a “llarp of. a Thousand Strings.” Neither heaven nor earth could boast of another such a jewel, and may be they cannot, nor the region below. But imagine her plunge from the skies to the bottomless pit, when she weds a quarrelsome, con¬ trary, lazy, indolent piece of mor¬ tality! See her, a few years later, sitting on the back-way, resting her chin in the palm of her hand, solil¬ oquizing. Ask her how stands the question between “Pursuit and Pos¬ session,” and then dodge around the corner for stifety. But wo will go back and finish our wiregrass wheat crop. When the farmer has harvested, threshed, and cleaned his wheat to supply for the year, he has then just got the elephant by the—by tho—yes, got the elephant by the horns. lie has his crop of wheat and don’t know how to keep it. If he grinds it all, it will get bugs and worms in it. If bo keeps it in wheat, it will do the same thing, and. before the next crop is harvested it will be so “mus¬ ty” the odor of a hot biscuit will be almost like opening a bottle of am¬ monia. When our fathers raised their wheat in middle Georgia, in the long ago, when it was ready to harvest they had reapings. The neighbors came in with their old-fashioned grain cradles and the women had a quilting and a big dinner, and all got happy and went home. There were no threshing machines. Some men beat their wheat out by hand, some on rail pens with flails, others trod it out with horses and oxen. Tho wheat was placed around in a circle about thirty feet across, the bed about six feet wide, the bundles standing head upward. The team was driven round and round on the bed until it was torn down; then they,were taken off, the bed adjust¬ ed, and around they went again. This was the threshing process in the days of the prophets, when they were not allowed to “Muzzle the mouth of the ox while treading out the wheat.” They called it corn, but it was wheat. But how they or our fathers managed to keep it nice under such a process is not my job to tell. I simply know they done it way and washed all of their wheat befor sending to mill, and I had to mind the chickens off the wheat scaffold while it was drying. M. Sikes. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the drug¬ gist recommended me to try Cham¬ berlain’s Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends.— F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Dr. G. H.
