\ scientific writer tells us how water can be boiled in a sheet of writing paper. We don’t doubt it. We have
known a man to writea few lines ona sheet
of writing ‘paper that kept him in_ hot water for three years. ‘No woman can make a fool of me,’ re-
marked a young men who had signally failed in doing the same for asmart Dupont
Cirele girl. ‘Well, hardly,’ she replied, ‘seeing that nature has anticipated such action on the part of any of our sex.’

One of the ablest officers in the Belgian army has published a pamphlet in which he cites numerous reasons, which he holds to be conclusive, to show that France, in the event of another Franco-German war, will invade Germany through Belgian territory.
Allen Hanson, an employe on the North- ern & Western Railway, on Saturday, at- tempted to jump upon an icy flat ear which was moving rapidly past Marysville station. He missed his footing and fell beneath the car, which passed over his leg, severing it from his body and cutting it in three pieces. His skull was also crushed in. He died im thirty minutes.
A party of three hunters who were out after deer in Tehama county, Cal., a short time ago, found, while following a trail, that they were in turn followed by a gang of six or seven mountain lions. They quickly beat a retreat, but the lions fol- lowed till they had nearly reached home, sometimes coming within a rod or two of the party, but retreating at a shot.
A clerk in Louisville invested $50 in pork, at a bucket shop, the other day, and
succeeded in running it up to $5,000. Then he determined to make it $10,000 and quit, and get married. His $5,000
crept up almost to the desired amount, and then the market took a turn against him, and in a few hours he didn’t have even the original $50. He will not marry this spring. ;
A citizen of Ionian, Mich., rang the bell at a house when he ca led, and then stood patiently on the iron dvorstep until the slow servant opened the door. Then he turned pale and cried out that he was paralyzed; for when he tried to walk he could not move. He felt better just as soon as he discovered that his wet boots had frozen to the iron doorstep as he was waiting.
———— <-> Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one ease where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents Sold by all Druggists and Dealers, in the United States and Canada.

A title does not always accompany sound judgment. The Duke of Westminster, who used to be a Liberal, recently sold in a fit of spleen, a valuable historic picture of Mr. Gladstone. Naturally the work of art was readily purchased by an admirer of the British statesman, and now his grace is angry because all the world is laughing at him. Mr. Gladstone turned the tables neatly upon the Duke of Westminster, by discrediting the report that it was done through spleen, and professed to believe that the Duke was a little hard up for money, and thought this portrait was one of the surest of his possessions which would command cash.
