WHIST CLUB MEETS.
Saturday afternoon the Whist

by Miss Lula Empie at her home
on Laurel street. After the game
^tempting lunch of chicken salad,
French peas, salmon croquets,

The popular belief, dating back for 5$)
years, that the slopes of the Rockie#itnd
the intervening valleys were fit for noth
ing but mining enterprises and would
never be of agricultural value would be
severely shaken if the old-time pessi
mists could travel for a week through
this portion of the San Juan country,
says a Durango (Col.) dispatch. For
many miles in ail directions flourishing
fields are literally blossoming like thp
summer rose. All of the cereals do well
in the neighborhood and the root Crops
are of the finest quality. Irrigation,
which has done so much for other see
lions of the formerly unproductive west.
has worked rvonders in this part of Col
orado and the possibilities of irrigating
ditches, fed by the inexhaustible suows
of the mountains, are just beginning to
be fully understood. Considerable cap
ital will be invested in irrigating works
in this country during the next two
years.
Military Maprple.
Emperor William has lately reviewed
a feathered veteran of the Cerman
army. One of his regiments has a pet
magpie, which is full of militarism and
very proud of its parade step. When
the kaiser visited the regimental quar
ters recently he asked for this accom
plished bird. A French illustrated pa
per publishes a picture of the; incident.
There is the kaiser sitting sternly in
the saddle and there is the magpie with
its martial stride and there are the
officers of the regiment with mingled
anxiety and pride plainly marked on all
their faces.
Horwen That Rotate.
The novel house of Eugene Petit, a
French architect, turns to the sun
the will of its occupants. It is moun®
ed on a steel platform, which is rotated
on ball bearings by a pinion geared in
a circular set of teeth. An ordinary
three-story dwelling can be turned by
two men. Water, gas and electricity are
brought in through a central passage
and sewage finds its exit in a similar
way. Houses of this kind, costing not
more than ten per cent, above the or
dinary, are required for the patients
of Dr. Pellegrin, the advocate of heli
otherapy.

“There are sold in this country to
day,” said a cutlery man, according to
the New York Sun, “a hundred times
as many razors as were bold here 40
years ago.
“Some share of this increase is due,
of course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
increase iu the proportion of men who
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art.
“With a greater numbrf of individ
ual users of razors there are, of course,
many more razors now sold. And, of
jourse, plenty of men own more than
one razor; everyone ought to own two,
it least, as many men do. One good
razor properly cared for might serve
its purpose continuously and well for
a long time without regrinding or hon
ing, but an accident might happen to
it, and against that a man guards by
having at least one extra razor.
“Many men buy sets of seven razors,
one for each day in the week, and there
are men who have sets of 31 razors, one
for every day in the month. And trav
elers going to distant countries and into
regions where facilities would be lack
ing buy cases of razors to take with
them. A traveler starting out with a
case of half a 'dozen razors in perfect
condition would have a razor outfit
that, with sugh care as he could be
stow upon it himsglf, would serve him
w'ell for years.
“The best razor that can be made
can be bought with a plain handle for
two dollars; anything more than that in
minting
—in pearl handles and so on. You can
buy a case of seven fine razors, sim
ply mounted, for $12, or you can pay
$50 or more for a case of razors with
the same blades, but with fine mount
ings and in a finer case.”
WE CAN’T EAT CELERY NOW.
Doctor* Have C ut OfT Another Article
of Diet—Vegetable .‘>«lil to Carry
Typhoid Germs.
Now the physicians are said to ha'-e
forbidden another relish nearly as pop
ular as oysters at this time, says* the
Washington Star. Celery has come
tinder the ban of the doctors, who sav
that it is equally well adapted to trans
mitting the poisonous elements of the
soil and carrying the germs of typhoid.
The disease can be acquired only by
introducing the microbes into the sys
tem in food or drink, and for that rea
son advice against certain kinds of food
is always likely to be regarded: But
to what extent this may be car$|rd is
well understood by the proprietor of
oi>e hotel, who has'seen oysters durine
the past three weeks disappear almost
entirely from the orders of his guests.
Some weeks ago a well-known man died
of typhoid fever. He had lived at a
large hotel, and the report went about
that he had got his illness there. “What
ever you do, don’t eat oysters at that
hotel.” was the advice that one friend
was giving another, based on the belief
that this man had died of a disease con
tracted in the hotel dining-room, where
the chances were immensely in favor
of his having got the fever somewhere
else.
If they keep on there will be nothing
left for us to eat except fish and frit
ters, and the latter will probably be cut
off soon and pills substituted.

“One of those things which go to show

I is well exemplified by a happening in a

afterward died and was buried in the

Mrs. C. H. Kingsbury, who keeps a millinery
and fancy goods store at St. Louis, Gratiot Co.,
Mich., and who is well known throughout the
country, says:
“I was badly troubled with rheumatism,
catarrh and neuralgia. I had liver complaint
and was very bilious. I was in a bad condi
tion ; every day I began to fear that I should
never be a well woman; that i should have to
settle down into a chronic invalid, and live in
; the shadow of death. I had JOHNSTON’S
TONIC CAPSULES recommended to me. I
TOOK FOUR PACKAGES AND IT CURED ME,
and cured my family both. I am very glad that
I heard of it. I would cheerfnlly recommend
It to every one. 1 have taken many other kinds
of medicine. I prefer JOHNSTON’S to all ol
them.” Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.
