Several prominent gentlemen of this city have organized an association to be known by the pecpliar name of "The Limburger Club." The object of the organization is to cure dyspepsia by the scientific application of Limburger cheese inwardly. Primarily the club has in view the benefits of its own members, but secondarily it aims to extend throughout the state the internal application of Limburger as a remedy for that dread destroyer of domestic felicity and general enemy of human kind, the demon dys- pepeia. The club had its origin in an experiment made some time- ago by George Brown,, the •searcher of record, whose stomach suffered terribly from the qualms of its stomachic conscience after hobnobbing with mince pie, cucumbers and dishes with a -superabund- ance of shortening in them. A gentleman of German extraction informed Mr. Brown one day that Limburger was an infallible remedy for the disorder, and the searcher of records at once engaged 'apartments in his barn and 'began to experiment. Within a month he was able to eat with impunity a whole hog barbecued. He imparted to a few friends the secret of his restoration to health, and the result was the formation of the Stockton Limburger Club, which meets every evening at. the Arion Hall in pur- suance of the aims and objects of its existence; No beverage whatever—not even water— is allowed at the sessions of the club. 'It is said that if nothing be drank after eating the cheese the rare, racy and aggressive odor of the edible cannot be detected on the breath. New members of the Limburger Club are not allowed to eat more than three ounces at each meeting.. Two weeks after their initiation they can take the second degree and eat six ounces. • At the expira- tion of a month each member is allowed a whole cheese, and is granted the much- ' oovete privilege of taking home whatever is loft -err of his share in order that at night tS4 may have it under his pillow, 'ready in /case dyspepsia should put in an appearance. At each meeting the members report progress and encourage one another to stand up to the Limburger to the last,— Stockton Masi. Concentration of Wealth. Mr. B. F. Patten, of Waltham, in the course of an after-dinner talk on nationalism at Boston said: "Does each man have a chane to bring out all that within him lies tinder our present system ? Most em- phatically no ! And why ? Because the wealth of the nation has slowly become con- fined in the hands of the few ; and no nation can continue great and develop a noble and high civilization under such con- ditions. When Egypt went down 2 per cent. of the population owned 97 per cent. of her wealth. The people were starved to death. When Babylon went down 2 per cent. owned all the wealth. When Persia went do 1 per cent. owned all the land. if When I? e went down 1,800 men owned all of t then -known world. In the United States in 1850 capitalists owned 37i of the nation's wealth, and in 1891, 63 per cent. e If this ratio is kept up what, will they own in 20 years ?" ,Wshave often had occasion to notice the liberties taken by some lawyers with witnesses whose evidence they wished to discredit in the eyes of a jury, and at times 'wondered why, they were permitted with impunity to use language to witnesses in the box for which they would have been promptly kicked had° the same language been used anywhere else. Very likely others have been similarly impressed, for we notice that It society has been formed in London under the title of the Witnesses' Protection Society to protect witnesses from insult by counsel, to put the matter of con- tempt of court into the hands of a 'jury, and to raise a fund to indemnify contumacious witnesses from pecuniary loas, provided always that the questions they refifse to answer reflect upon their honor, and are at the same time irrelevant to the issues of the ease. ll'he little village of Abbach,• Bavaria, has been completely destroyed by fire.

A further investigation revealed the fact that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a patent medicine in the sense in which that term is usually understood, but are a scien- tifia preparation successfully used in general practice for many years before being offered to the public generally. They tontain in a eendensed form all the elements necessary to.give view life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing spesithe far such diseases as loco- motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, reumatism nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration ; all diseases depending upon vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature These pills are manufactured by the Dr. WilliamsMedicine Company, Brockville, Ontario, and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in. loose fornaeker the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or, direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Company from either address.. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inex- pensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment.

The 'small intestine extends, in a sort of coil, from the storoach to the right side of thieliewer pare of the abdemene The large intestine, into which the other opens through a narrow slit, extends from this point to the upper part of the abdomen and then crosses over and descends on the leftside. It is called the colon. From the lowest part of the ascending colon projects a hollow, worm -shaped appendage, a few inches long, with a diameter about the size of a lead pencil. This is known as the vermiform appendix. Fc -al matter, and occasionally a seed, may finu its way into the appendix and cause it to become inflamed. The inflammation is appendicitis. Jt tends to form an abscess, which breaks generally into the abdomen, but sometimes into the liver, the bladder, the chest or the veins. When it breaks into the abdomen it gives rise to that Painful and dangerous disease, peritonitis. .Appendicitis is a more common disease than physicians wet e formerly aware of, for many cues that re formerly looked upon as colic are pow known to have been appen- dicitis. It is of supreme importance that the disease should lie recognized early, since the main hope of r ecovery lies in a surgical operation, and this must be performed early or not at all. Without such an operation the pus be- comes septic, or putrid, and fills the system with blood -poison. This change in the purl takes place by the third day. Yet many patients will not consent to an operation until the case becomes one of life or death, and not a few physicians even. sympathize with them. Dr. Agnew, of New York, saw a case on Monday, and urged an operation, but the ttending physician and the family pre- ferred to wait. On the following Friday, being asked to operate, Dr. Agnew refused. Ire , another case, a consulting physician raged an immediate, operation, but the family physician thought the patient would recover from this attack' as he had done. from others. The consulting physician re- plied that without an Operation the man would be dead within three hours. He died in half that time. Pus is at first healthy. By its formation nature seems to check, or cure,' inflamma- ton, but if the pus a.ainot find free vent, it soon becomes septic when no medicine offers any hope, and even a surgical opera- tion but little. The time for an operation Is before the pus becomes septic—generally on the second or third day. An early re- moval of the appendix will generally save the patient. —Youth's Companion. Take Care of Tour Umbrella. After coming in out of the rai, let the umbrella down, and stand it on the handle that it may dry in this position, the water will thus drip from the edges of the frame, and the cover dry uniformly. When placed with the handle upward, as is frequently done, the water runs to the top of the umbrella'and the moisture is there retained in thelining underneeth the ring for some length of time, Ceusing the silk or fabric with which the frame is covered to become tender and soon rot. Ordinarily the top of an umbrellawears out Sooner than the other part of it, and in the majority of cases may be' thus accounted for. A silk umbrella is much injured by being, kft open to dry ; the silk becomes stretched and stiff, and will sooner split thus cared for. When not, in use let the folds lie loose, not fastened down; the creases are less apt to split from this usage. Dispense with an umbrella case, except in travelling, as a protection from dust and cinders. 1 Were Polly ? " "Only for a day." " Did you bathe ?' "No. Somebody else was using when we Were there."
