The Man With Fits. I saw a mu art so qwt?rly in front of Canal etrvet saloon that I followed him in when he finally entered.thiakim; him a. bit off in the top story. He looked around for a few seconds, and was about to sit down in a corner, when a bar-tender came ont and took him by the arm and led him to the door and gave him a kick and said : "Yon cant play that on us again, old fellow ! Here yon go, and if you ever come in here again I'll break you in two ! I followed the man down the street and asked for an explanation, and with out any display of iadiaation, he said : "Why, the chap was on to me." "He spoke about you playing him." "Yes, I was in there the other day, when I as taken with a t and fell on the floor. They gave mo a d rick to r rive me." "Then it wasn't a real fit?" "It was a good enough fit for any body?" he replied, beginning to show a little temper. "I'll get eren with that man for bouncing me out the way he didr Here's the price of a good big drink. Jow, fell me if you work the saloons with that sort of a racket?" "Well, sir, I can have a fit whenever I want to, and perhaps that's whenever I thick I can make a drink by it" "How did he tumble to your racket so fcstr "Ob, it's likely somebody put him on after I was gone.

"This World is a grand old camping- eronnd. after all. Nothing more beauti ful Muild he conceived than its dome of blue star-fettered and cloud-draped : its bills and forest, now clothed in tender green, now decked in scarlet and gold and overswept by bands of bannered winds ; its vast seas mirroring the calm of infinite heaven, ci torn with the on rest of furieus storms : its rivers, unwind ing a thousand ribbons through the vales, and its rainbow sheen of blossoms veil ing in colors the delicate beauty of its dawn and the stormy splendor of its sunsets. Whatever the trouble and sor row you and I may have, let us never forget how good God was to put us into such a beautiful world, and grant so much of good along with our heritage of sor row. "After all, the place we live in, be it for a year or for a lifetime, is very much as we choose to make it If we take the lease of a palace, and persist in de filing and neglecting it, allowing ruin and decay to steal the march upon us, and sitting down by night and day un dernsath its frescoed walls, to mourn and lament its essentials that are inseparable from the cares of any household, one might as well have pre-empted a claim upon a hovel in the first place. It is the heart we carry in our breast and the spirit we evidence all about us that makes this place either a place of tor ment or a borne. Given a world so beau tiful and a few true friends, the hope of immortality and faith in a hereafter, and we are no better than ingrates if we sit down in the ashes and eat the bread of tears. For my part, there is not a day I do not thank God that I am alive in this magnificent world, and when I count over the rosary of my friends, I bfess the beneficent hand which, although it has withheld much, baa so generously re membered my needs and crowned me with more than the splendor of an earth ly queen."

Vassar, 50 Warren St, X. Y. A Story of Rubens. In the beginning of the seventeenth century Peter Paul Rubens, whose name had not the same sound then as now, lived in Paris, at a modest inn near the palace of his patroness, Maria de Medici. Sometimes ba had bis pockets full of money and lived like a prince, but often er he was without a pfenning ; at any rate, he paid his host very irregularly or not at alL The host did not think it an honor to board this great painter, and as be had a supreme contempt for art, he often cast insults at Rubens. One day when the inkeeper was in an especially bad humor, be threatened to throw Ru bens out of the door like a tramp and without further notice. Rubens had just bad an audience at the Louvre, but did not possess a heller. What should be do ? The tavern-keeper would not reason, but wanted to see cash. Under any circumstances money must be procured. The artist took a small picture of bis own from the wall and asked in a note writtan to one of his friends 1,200 lire for It Half an hour liter the messenger re tained, saying that the gentleman would pay only 800 lire for iL Rubens was furious, threw the picture on the ground and stamped upon it while the host was still more furious, as bis hopes, through this "daub," to get money, were dispelled. He wanted to put bis guest out on the pavement im mediately, when Rubens gave his word of honor that he would pay bis debt within eight days. With this promise Rubens hurried np stairs and locked bis door. He left the room rery seldom and never without taking tbe key with him. A week later be appeared before bis host with a little Land-trunk, with these words : "I have kept my promise; upon the table in my room you will find more money than I owe you. Farewell, eir host." Then he left the inheritable house with the mien of a grand seigneur who had given rich alms. The tavern-keeper hurried up the stairs to the artist s room. The door stooa open, and the mass of money which was spread upon the table met his gaze. Fourfold Louis, double Louis, dollars and half-dollars lay there in great confusion. Naturally, the good roan thought he must quickly put his money in a safe place; but what astonishment and fury be showed w hen, upon touching a gold piece, he found that it was only painted ! That miser, the tramp, had fooled him. But his anger lessened somewhat when he 6a w on the walls the rich cloth ing thai had been left ky the painter From the aaie of this be could cover a great part of the debt. II reached for a cherry-colored velvet mantle what disapiointment ! That, too, like the other garments and the glittering gold, was only painted. The unhappy host was piltied by all bis friends w ho heard of it The story became further known, and the painter's fame grew and spread. Dia- tinguifhed people streamed to the mod est tavern to hear of Rubens' gay trick from the host himself and see the paint ed clothing the table had been put in the earret, as the owner wanted it out of his sight and many a dollar was spent in the tavern for the purpose of seeing these things. One day a rich Englishman, who doted on art, w as told of the deceptive table by the tavern-keeper. He afcked to see the table, admired it, and offered to give the host as much cash in French gold and ilver coins as was painted on the table. Of course, the host accepted and was rid of this "disagreeable" piece of furniture. I was ro much troubled w ith catarrh t seriously afferted my voice. One bot- lc of Elys (ireaui Lalm did the work. and my voice is fully restored. B. F. Leipsner, A. li., Pastor of the Olivet Bap tist Church, Philadelphia, Fa. shotgrun Shells. A practical joke was played by an ex- Con federate oliicer, Colonel Aylett, upon st'ine of his old companions in arms. He had a company of friends at his country place, near Richmond, and one evening display of iireworks was announced. Tow ard the close of the evening Colonel Aylett called me and two or three other young fellows to him and said, "I want you to help me fool some of the old sol diers, if you will." Of course w e jumped at the chance, and asked for orders. "What I mean to do," he said, is to make these veterans belive that I am shooting bombshells from my sboUun. Here are some giant firecrackers. Each of you take two of them, go down into the field yonder, spread yourselves out in a line about a hundred yards apart. and listen for the buggle. I shall aim at you in rotation, and aa soon as you see the flash of the gun, the one whose turn it is must throw a cracker into the air as high as possible, so that it will explode before reaching the ground." We slipped away in the darkness, and the gue3ts were invited out upon the lawn to seethe colonel shoot some small bombshell from bis gun. The .signal was given, and the gun was fired. In a few seconds a bright flash was seen in the air, and a loud explosion followed. The shots were repeated until six had been fired. We could hear the exclamations that followed each discharge, and in a few minutes were back again, mingling with the crowd and listening to the comments of the veterans. "It reminded them of the war," tiny said. Some of them could "distinctly trace the flight of the shell from the in stunt it left the gun nntil it exploded." We begged Colonel Aylett not to unde ceive them, but he declared that it would be wrong to leave them under a false im pression. The w hole affair showed w hat strange pranks imagination will some times piay wun sober reason. luuttn Comyin'am. The Use of Water at Meals. Opinions differ as to the effect of the free ingestion of water at meal times, but the view most generally received is prob ably that it dilutes tbe gastric juice and so retards digestion. Apart from the fact that a moderate delay in the proccts is by no means a disadvantage, as Sir William Roberts has shown in his ex planation of tbe popularity of tea and coffee, it is more than doubtful weather any such effect is in reality produced. When ingested during meals, w ater may do good by washing out the digested food and by exposing the undigested part more thoroughly to the action of the digestive ferments. Pepsin is a catalytic body and a given quantity will work almost indefi nitely, provided the peptones are remov ed as they are formed. The good effect of water drunk freely before meals has, however, another beneficial result it washes away the mucus which is secret ed by the mucus membrane during the intervals of repose, and favors peristalsis of the whole alimentary tract The membrane thus cleansed is in much bet ter condition to receive food and convert it into soluble compounds. The accu mulation of mucus is -especially well marked in the morning, when the gas tric walls are covered with a thick, tena cious layer. Food entering the stomach at this time will become covered with this tenacious coating, which for a time will protect it from the action of the gas tric fermentj, and so retards digestion. The tubular contracted stomach, with its puckered mucus lining and viscid con tents, a normal condition in the morning before breakfast, is not suitable to re ceive food. Exercise before partaking of a meal simulates the circulation of the blood and facilitates the flow of the blood through the vessels. A glass of water washes out the mucus, partially distends the stomach, wakes up peristalsis, and prepares the alimentary canal for the morning meal. Observation has shown that non-irritating liquids pass through the "tubular" stomach, and even if the food be present, thy only mix with it to a slight extent According to Dr. Leuf, who has made this subject a special study, cold water should be given to persons who bave sufficient vitality to react, and hot water to others. In chronic gastric catarrh it is extremely beneficial to drink warm or hot water before meals, and salt is said in most cases to add to the good effect produced. HritiJi Helical JouruuL Cood Looks.

I.IQTJQRS I What Hoard Knew About Clams Ex-(tovernor Hoard is one of the best siory tellers in the country. On the re cent trip to Galena, when the Grant monument was unveiled, his fund of stories seemed inexhaustible. One of tbem aa this: I -jras down at a little clambake in New Jersey last summer, and after din ner was called on to make a speech. I started off by saying that I bad eaten so many of their low necked clams that wasn't in the best condition to make a speech. When I used the expression low necked clams, an old chap, sitting di rectly across tbe table from me, whose neck was long enough to enable him to eat clams out of a churn, scowled at me and then said, in a stage whisper: 'Lit tle neck clams, little necks not low necks.' I raid no attention to the inter ruption and finished my speech. When dinner was over he trailed me out into the hall, and asked : " You're from Wisconsin, ain't yon T "'Yes,' I replied. " 'You don't have many clams up there, I reckon V " 'Well,' I said, 'we have some, but it's a good ways to water, and in driving them across the country their feet get sore and they don't thrive very well.' He gave me a look that was worth a dollar and a half, and in a tone of ut most disgust said ; " 'Lord ! clams ain't got no feet ." "He turned away, and approaching one of my friends, inquired: "Is that fellow Governor of Wiscon sin r " 'Yes,' said my friend. "'W-a-M,' drawled the man with a good deal of feeling, 'he may be a smart man in Wisconsin, but he's a fool on the seashore.' " Elv'a Cream Ralm worth its weich in cold as a cure for catarrh.

"It w ill make my mother worry and I shall break my word." "Ik-fore I'd be tied to a woman's apron strings !" "My mother doea't wear aprons," said the first speaker with a laugh, "except in tbe kitchen sometimes, and I don't know as I ever noticed any etringa." "You know what I mean. Can't you stay and see the game finished ?" "I could stay, but I will not. I made a promise to my mother end I am goin to keep it." "tVood boy !" said a hoarse voice jttst back of the two boys. They turned to sec an old man poorly clad and very fevble. "Abraham Lincoln once told a young man," the stranger resumed, "to cut the acquaintance of evry person that talked slightingly of his mother's apron-strings. and it is a very safe thing to do, as know from experience. It was just such talk that brought me to ruin and disgrace for I was ashamed not to do as other boys did, and when tbey made fun of mother I laughed too liod forgive me ! There came a time when it was too late" and now there were tears in the old eyes "when I would gladly have been made a prisoner, tied by these same apron-strings, in a dark room with bread and water for my fare. Always keep vour engagement with your mother. Never disappoint her if you can possibly help it, and when advised to cut loose from her apron-strings, cut the adviser and take a tighter clutch of tbe apron strings. This will bring joy and long life to your mother, the best friend you have in the world, and will insure you a noble future, for it is impossible for a good son to be a bad man. " It was an excellent sign that both bovs listened attentively and both said "Thank you" at the conclusion of the stranger' lecture, ansd they left the bal grounds together, silent and thoughtful At last the apron-string critic remarked with a deep-drawn sigh : "That old man has made nie goose flesh all over." "Oh, Dick," said his companion, "just think what lovely mothers we both have!" "Yes; and if anything were to happen to them, and we hadn't done right i ou 11 never bear apron-strings out of ray mouth again." ll'irjrr't Yvting Peo ple.
