When locomotives were first built and begnn to trundle their small load consideration that the thorough wash u spread over the surface, allaying ti rl latlon and softening whatever food pro lucta may have lodged In the appendi ceal sac. The nonnentilcal theory put forth by ono member of the medical pro fession that no Infant was properly equipped for life until by surgical iieana It bad been deprived of the ver miform appendix and thus fortified against future danger Is too silly to de serve moment's consideration. Mil- lived and diet without ever knowing that was such a thing, and the proportion of deaths that ;an by any possible means be attributed to this cause Is extremely small. Some day doctor and patients will realize that a thorough washing out and cleansing of the Interior of the body U quite hb beneficial as the same process annlled to the exlerlor. It Ih asserieu by those who have had sufficient ex perlence to entitle their statements to up and down the newly and rudely con-; tructed railways of England the publlo road were, for the greatest part, cross ed at grade, and the engineer hnd no way of giving warning of bis approach except by blowing a tin horn. Hut this, ai may be Imagined, was far from being a sufficient warning. One day In the year 1833, so run a story of the origin of the. locomotive whistle, a farmer of Thornton waa crossing the railway track on one of the country roads with a great load of egg and butter. Just as be came out upon the track a train approached. The englneman blew hi tin horn lustily, but the farmer did not hear It Eighty dosen of egg and fifty pounds of butter were smashed Into an Indistinguishable, unpleasant mass, and mingled with the kindling wood to Which the wagon waa reduced. The railway company had to pay the farmer tat value of hi fifty pound of butter, hi 960 egg, hi horse and bis wagon, It was regarded as a very serious mat ter, and straightway a director of the company went to Atton Grange, where George Stevenson lived, to see If he eould not Invent something that would give a warning more likely to be beard, Stevenson went to work and the next ay bad a contrivance which, when at tached to the engine boiler and the team turned on, gave out a shrill, dis cordant sound. The railway director. greatly delighted, ordered similar con trivances to be attached to all the loco motives, and from that day to this the voice of the locomotive whistle has pever been silent. I n if out of the digestive apparatus by means of tepid water properly purified would prevent at least half of the dis eases from which humanity suffers. AN INDIAN WAR-DANCE. A akota Thief Taaea llaho Whipple nil flvlllaattoa to Taak. Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, say that the Dakota Indians once held a war dance near a mission house. He went to Wabasha, the chief, and said: "Wabasha, you asked me for a mission ary and teacher. I gave them to you, I visit you. and the first eight i thl brutal scalp dance. I knew the Chip pewa whom your young men have murdered. HI wife 1 crying for Her husband; hi children are asking tor their father. Wabasha, the Great Spirit hear hi children cry. He la angry, Some day he will ask Wabasha: 'Where Is vour red brother ?' " The old chief mlled, drew his pipe from hi mouth and said: "White man go to war with hi own brother In the ame country; kill more men than Wabasha can count In all hi life. Great Spirit smiles; say Good white man! He has my book. I love him very much, I have a good place fnr him bv-and-bv.' The Indian Is a wild man. He ha no Great Spirit book, kill one man, ha a scalp dance. Great Spirit 1 mad and Bays: 'Bad Indian! I put him In a bad place oy-anu-oy. Wabasha don't believe It!" Vt INIWMM The other day at Mostesuma. while . . .k. we cltlsen were conversing at lepot, a negro approached ana na Iressed one of them a follow: "Kurnel, I b ar yo' want to git a man ut oa de plantaahun."

"Uncle" feier limes was a local ce lebrlty who kept the tavern In Ran dolph, Vt., In the old staging days. He was noted for his dry humor, and was never at a loss for a retort or for a method of expressing his ideas. One morning, after breakfast, aa a stranger was about to depart without paying his bill. Uncle Peter walked up to him and blandly said: "Mister, if you should lose your pocketbook between here and Montpeller remember you didn't take tt cot here."
