Dangers to Ijlfe in India
India is the only country that makes
death by the attacks of serpents and
wild beasts a feature of its annual sta
tistics That is has good reason for
doing so is shown by the impressive fig
ures of last years mortality eleven
hundred and thirty three deaths from
6nake bites and two hundred and ninety-one
people killed by tigers and other
wild animals Although India is one
of the most densely populated coun
tries on the globe the increase of hu
man inhabitants does not have the ef
fect of decreasing the number of wild
beasts as it does elsewhere because
the religion of the natives or a great
proportion of them forbids them to
take life even of dangerous beasts and
serpents hence they let these destroy
ers thrive and multiply in the midst of
their communities One of the best
works of the British in India is their
reduction of Hie number of wild beasts
and especially tigers as a result of
their passion for hunting big game

Won by Trickery
Perhaps it wasnt fair admitted
the man who has more money than
anyone really needs in this world but
it laid the foundation of my fortune
Youve all heard of old Trumpet He
was crochety eccentric and supersti
tious on the higher plane That Is he
was influenced by his dreams and fre
quently consulted a clairvoyant
While I was anxious to make a try
at life on my own hook and didnt
know just which way to turn I saw an
advertisement in the paper for a capa
ble and responsible young man to act
us private secretary It requested that
responses be sent to a certain box the
number of which was given I had
tried answering in such cases and
found that I was practically taking
part in a raffle with fifty or a hundred
good chances against me So I went
to the postofflce found the box waited
until a boy had relieved it of a large
package of letters and then shadowed
him right to old Trumpers door
Two hours later I jvas back rang
the doorbell and was shown to the li
brary where Trumper was going
through the answers to his advertise
ment I apologized for the intrusion
and told him that I was not only a
believer but a student of the occult
It might appear foolish to him but I
had repeatedly dreamed that he want
ed me as a private secretary and I
had been induced to call in a spirit of
invest igation as much as anything
else Was it possible that his wishes
had been conveyed to me in some mys
terious way or was it a mere delusion
He was that some friendlv
r spirit had sent me to him So was I
for he burned all those applications
hired me on the spot at a big salary
and notified me then that faithful ser
vice would make me his heir He left
me 500000 Brooklyn Citizen

Queer Eyes
Maliuda L Hurly of St Louis can
not open her eyes without sneezing
The cause of Maliudas distressing
trouble is that her eyelashes grow in

formed to remove the lashes

The Hospital and a Fearful Operation
Hospitals in jrreatcities are sad nlaces to visit Thrpp
fourths of the patients tying- on those snow white beds
are women ana girls
Why should this be the case
Because they have neglected themselves Women
as a rule attach too little importance to first S3rmp
toms of a certain kind If they have toothache
they will try to save the tooth though many leave
even this too late They comfort themselves with
the thought that they can replace their teeth but
they cannot replace their internal onrans
Every one of those patients in the hospital beds
had plenty of warnings in the form of bearing down
feelings pain at the riffht or the left of the womb
nervous dyspepsia pain in the small of the bank the
blues or some other unnatural symptom but they did
hot heed them
jJBk
Dont drag along at home or in the shop until you are finally obliged to
go to the hospital and submit to horrible examinations and operations
Build up the female organs Lydia E Pinkham s Vegetable Compound will
save you from the hospital It will put new life into you
The following letter shows how Mrs Lyness escaped the hospital and a
leanui operation tier experience should encourage
other women to follow her example She says
to Mrs Pinkham
I thank you very much for what you have
done for me for I had given up in despair
Last h ebruary I had a miscarriage caused
by overwork It affected my heart caused
me to have sinking spells three to four a
i day lasting sometimes half a day I
could not be left alone I flowed con
stantly The doctor called twice a day
lor a week and once a day for four weeks
then three or four times a week for four
months Finally he said I would have to un
dergo an operation Then I commenced taking
Ljdia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and
after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured
completely By taking the Pinkham medicine I avoided an operation which
the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo I am gaining every day
and will cheerfully tell anyone what you have done for me Mbs Thos

How to Keep Crackers
Complaints are frequently heard that
crackers bought at grocery stores are
soggy and stale tasting even when
comparatively fresh
The fault says the Mercantile Jour
nal is in the way they are kept Crack
ers demand a warm dry place and they
should not be stored near oil fish or
other strong smelling goods Great care
should be exercised by grocers in this
respect The cracker trade is one of the
most important features of a general
grocery business and it should be taken
care of Crackers should be purchased
in small quantities so that they will not
have time to get stale before being sold
They should be kept as stated in a
warm dry place and customers should
be advised to place them in the oven a
few minutes before using This will
restore their crlspiness even though
they have become damp and soggy
Scalloped Oysters
Take two dozen large salt water oys
ters Put them in a pan In their own
iuice and place on the fire until they
boil then drain Take five ounces of
best table butter one large tablespoon
of flour mix and let it simmer for a
half minute without getting brown
Then take half of the oyster juice and
add an equal portion of cream and let
it cook to thick sauce mix it with the
oysters and flour and butter Season
with salt a little cayenne pepper a
soupcon of nutmeg and a little Wor
cestershire sauce Wash and clean
thoroughly a dozen large deep oyster
shells then put about six oysters in a
shell sprinkle with parmesan cheese
bread crumbs and a little fresh butter
Bake for ten minutes in a brisk oven
and serve immediately
Corn Custard Pie
One cup of grated corn half a cup of
milk salt and pepper cayenne slightly
butter the size of a walnut one round
ed tablespoonf ul of cornstarch and ttie
yolks of two eggs Stir the cornstarch
into the milk then add the other ingre
dients Bake with an undererust only
and cover with a meringue to which
add a pinch of salt and the same quan
tity of cream tartar no sugar Serve
as an entree not as a dessert
Hints
To every fifty pounds of fresh sau
sage or pudding meat use fourteen
ounces of salt and four and a half
ounces of black pepper and herbs to
suit taste
Fat which is to be kept should be cut
up small and boiled in a saucepan in a
little water and never put into the
oven to melt If it has to be done in
the oven the door should be left open
When copper is very much tarnished
or coated with verdigris diluted oxalic
acid in the proportion of a tablespoon
f ul of the acid to a quart of water will
clean it more quickly than anything
else
Celery from the market may be kept
fresh for some time by wrapping the
bunches in brown paper sprinkling
them with water then wrapping them
in a damp cloth and putting in some
cool dark place
A steady heat for baking cannot be
expected from a stove that is imper
fectly cleaned and choked with clink
ers Too often the cook blames the
stove for imperfect work when the
fault lies in her own neglect to put it in
baking or cooking order
An easy way to clean the horrid
sticky oatmeal kettle in which the
breakfast porridge was cooked is to drop
a lump of washing soda In a quart of
water and soak In the kettle on the
back of the stove for half an hour The
glutinous crust can then be easily re
moved
Rich cooky dough may be prevented
from sticking to the baking board by
taking a piece of unbleached muslin
stretch it over the baking board so there
will be no wrinkles dust it well with
flour and roll out the dough Try this
method and making cookies will not
try the patience half as much
Sickroom Talk
For cramps or pains in the stomach
try a few drops of essence of camphor
For binding up cuts and wounds al
ways use linen not cotton as the fibers
of cotton are flat and apt to irritate a
sore place while those of linen are pei
fectly rounded
For tired feet put a handful of com
mon salt Into four quarts of hot water
Place the feet in the water while it is
hot as It can be borne Then rub the
feet dry with a rough towel
For making a clear complexion stir
two teaspoonfuls of flour of sulphur
into half a pint of new milk Let it
stand a while and then rub the face
over with It a short time before wash
ing
Household Spice
Everything is impracticable till it Is
put in practice
The very worst of creeds is better
than no creed at all
A decaying body is not so pernicious
as a decaying soul
An evil soul is not an evil substance
but an evil influence

FIRST WOMAN CITIZEN
HER STURDY LADS AND CLEVER
LASSES EECOME PROMINENT
CITIZENS
Known aa the Widow Ryan Was
a Clever Busiticsu Woman Short
Sketch of Her Life and What Some of
Her Children Accomplished
From the Keizs Indianapolis 2nd
Hundreds of thousands of men of for
eign birth have taken out papers declar
ins their citizenship in Indiana since that
State was admitted into the Union in
1S1U without creating remark or com
ment It was a different matter how
ever when along in the forties the lirst
woman of foreign birth applied for and
received papers of citizenship
The first woman citizen was an Irish
widow who settled in southern Indiana
with her progeny of sturdy lads and
clever lasses upon a farm which she had
bought She had taken out naturalization
papers in order to manage her property to
better advantage and for the further pur
pose of starting her family as true Ameri
cans with a full understanding of the ad
vantages and responsibilities of American
citizenship
The Widow Ryan as she was known
in Daviess County Indiana was a great
woman with a clever business head and
left behind her those who grew to be
worthy men and worthy women and who
have left their impress upon the State
One of these sons James B Ryan be
came Treasurer of the State of Indiana
and a son-in-law M L Brett also held
that high and honorable position Another
son was the late Lieut Col Richard J
Ryan who was probably the most brill
iant and gifted orator that Indiana ever
produced and who during the war for
the Union served his country in the Thirty-fifth
Indiana Volunteer Infantry bet
ter known as the Irish Regiment
Another son is Thomas F Ryan who
is now 59 years old and with a few inter
vals of absence has been a resident of In
dianapolis for forty two years Mr Ryan
has been an active business man all his
life and has seen more than one fortune
come and go in the vicissitudes of trade
and sudden panic
In the early fifties smitten by the gold
fever he went by way of the Isthmus of
Panama to California and he lias always
retained the free hearted open and trust
ing confidence that distinguished the gal
lant pioneers of the golden State He has
been engaged in mining and trade opera
tions in Oregon Arizona and Montana
From May 1SS5 until August 1S87 he
was the government agent at the Seal
Islands off the Alaska coast a highly re
sponsible position
For ten years or more said Mr Ryan
in conversation with a group of gentle
men at the Indianapolis Board of Trade
I have been sensitive in my lower limbs
to weather changes If my legs had been
filled with quicksilver I do not think they
could have responded more quickly or
more disagreeably to climatic conditions
During the past two years this infirm
ity became much worse and I began to
be silarnied fearing paralysis My legs
were cold and recently from my knees
down were without sensation I could
walk only short distances and would even
then experience great weariness I be
came more and more alarmed I natural
ly thought of paralysis or locomotor
ataxia The prospect was not pleasing
I happened to meet my old friend
Capt C F Shepard of this city He was
chanting the praises of Dr Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and gave me
his experience telling me that he had
been brought by using them from a bed
where he lay helpless his physician hav
ing declared him a hopeless victim of
locomotor ataxia and was now as active
as any man of his age not even requiring
the use of a cane Upon his recommenda
tion I began the use of Dr Williams
Pink Pills
I found positive relief after taking a
few doses The numbness in my limbs
disappeared as if by magic and I can
walk as far aa I like at a good rapid gait
suid without weariness This you may
understand is a great boon to a man who
has been of an active habit of life and
who still likes to depend to a great extent
upon his legs to get around in the world
The pills also drove the rheumatism
out of my hip for I have not been bother
ed with it since I began their use I think
I shall have to join Captain Shepard in
his praises of Dr Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People
Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple contain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shatter
ed nerves These pills are sold in boxes
never in loose bulk at 50 cents a box or
six loxes for 250 and may be had of all
druggists or direct by mail from Dr

A Whistling Language
It seems that there is really a whist
ling language It Is in the Canary Isl
ands that people whistle instead of
speaking when they hold converse with
each other The language is composed
of words as it were like any other lan
guage and the inhabitants attain great
proficiency in it so that they can con
verse on all sorts of subjects
Deafness Cant Be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear Tnere is only one
way to cure Deafness and that in by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets inflamed
you nave a rumonng sounu or imperlect hear
ing and when it is entirely doFed Deafness is
the result and unless tha inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its noimil
condition hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surface
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused bv Catarrb that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure Send
