Her Corset Steels Magnetized.
"I advise you to leave your watch
in the office," said Superintendent C.
E. Chinnock, of the Edison Illumin
atinc Company, as he was about to
conduct a visitor through the com
pany's generating station, Pearl
street, Kew York. "I have ruined
mine," he said, "by carrying it near
a strong current of electricity. A
young lady who came hero com
plained afterwards that her watch
would not keep good time, although
she left it in the office during her tour
of inspection. She sent it to a jewel
er, and he reported that it was not
magnetized, but kept good time.
Still, whenever she carried it her
time was too slow, although when
she left it in her room it ran correct
ly. After thinking about the matter
awhile I told my wife to suggest that
she wear another pair of corsets when
next she carried it. She did so and
had no further trouble with her
watch. It was the steel springs in
her corset that had been magnet

dinner Thursday, not seeing his wife,
he asked his child :
"Where's mamma?"
"Oh, she's juBt swinging out in the
yard," was the artless response, "but
she won't let me swing at all."
Reaching the yard Jenkins was hor
rified to find nis wife hanging from
the limb of an apple tree stone dead.
His cries soon brought the neighbors,
who were shocked not only at the
swinging body "but at the attempt of
of the husband to kill himself. But
ting his head against the tree his face
began to stream with blood from the
wounds. It was found necessary to
bind him hand and foot and he now
lies bound and stark crazy. Jenkins
was jealous of his wife, evidently
without cause. In leaving in the
morning he gave expression to his
want of confidence in her, when she
went into the back yard and with the
clothes line put herself out of mun

Moody's Illustration of Faith.
In a sermon in Pittsburgh, Pa., the
Rev. Mr. Moody said : "A Sunday
school teacher tried to illustrate the
free grace of salvation by offering his
watch to the members of his class.
They each one refused it till lie came
to the smallest boy. He took it and
put it in his pocket. 'Thank you,
my hoy,' he said. 'You have shown
that you have faith in me. Keep it
and tak care of it.' The other boys
were surprised, and, too late, were
sony tluy had not taken the freely
offered gift. They didn't believe
him. that was the trouble."
Undigested Food
In the stomach develops an acid hich stings
the upper part of the throat and palate, caus
ing "heartburn." It also evolves a gas which
produces "wind on thestoniach,"and a feel
ing and appearance of distention in that or
gan after eating. For both this acidity and
swelling Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
much better remedy than alkaline salts, like
hartshorn and carbonate of soda. A wine
glassful of the Bitters, after or before dinner,
ill be found to act as a reliable carniinath e
or preventative. This fine .specific for djs
pepaia, both in its acute and chronic foim,
also prevents ai.d cures malarial feer, con
stipation, liver complaint, Kiduey troubles,
nervousness and debility. P rsons who ob
ser e hi theniseh es a decline of vigor should
use this line tonic without delay.
