A Timely Epitaph.
The following is a copy of the epi
taph of a watchmaker,written by him
self, in which he is compared to a
watch that had run down:
"Here lies, in horizontal position,
the outside case of George Ritter,
whose abiding place in that line was
an honor to his profession. Integrity
was his mainspring, aud Prudence
the regulator of all the actions of his
life. Humane, generous aud liberal,
his hand never stopped till he had re
lieved distress. He never went wroug
except when set a going by people
who did not know his key. Even
then he was easily set right again.
He had the art of dispensing of his
time so well that his houre glided by
in one continual round of pleasure
and delight, till au unlucky minute
put an end to his existence. His case
rests and moldcrs and decays beneath
the turf, but his good works will
never die."

2 BRICK COURT.
Temple Chambers In Whlelt Olivet
(•oldsmith Amnaed Himself.
Few buildings link the London of the
present day with so many of the liter
ary characters of the London of the
past as does the house at 2 Brick
court, Middle Temple. The dominant
memory which clings around It Is that
perpetuated by a handsome tablet on
fls front elevation bearing the words:
In these chambers died
Oliver Goldsmith
On the 4th of Apl., 1T74.
and a medallion of Che poet.
Goldsmith's, however, was seldom a
lonely figure, and he gathered around
him at Briek court all the wit of the
metiopolls of his day. In 1705, on the
strength of the success of
Natured Man"and the fact that he
was making some £SOO a year, "Goldle"
expended £4OO on chambers "up two
pair right" and fitted them with showy
carpets, gilt mlrn -sand furniture ex
travagantly upholstered In blue velvet.
Thus equipped, he embarked on a
course of expenditure In which fine
clothes for himself, grand dinners to a
literary coterie and pretty trifles for
venal beauties all bore costly -parts.
Johnson, Dr. A me, Percy Reynolds,
Francis and Blckerstaff were among
the frequent visitors at 2 Brick court
but their arrival was not the cause of
so much concern to Goldsmith's coten
ants as that of some other of the poefs
guests. It r/as the little supper parties
to Goldsmith's young friends of both
sexes that drew from the studloue
Blackstone, hard nt work on his famous
"Commentaries" In the rooms below
"Goklle's," bitter protests against the
racket of his "reveling neighbor."
Both "The Traveler" and"The Tleaf
of Wakefield" were published soon aft
er Goldsmith moved Into Brick court,
but the Income they brought him was
Insufficient to withstand the drain mud*
on his resources by his extravagance,
Ills generosity and his taste for gam
bling. Owing £2,000, unable to obtain
further advances from his booksellers
and seeing no way out of his embar
rassmauts, Goldsmith broke down In
splriu nml health. He had to leave
those windows from which he used to
watch the rooks In the grove, which
once stood where now Is Elm court,
and, as he wrote, "often amused my
self with observing their plan of
policy." Goldsmith returned thither,
nevertheless, to die, and though he was
carried to his last resting place through
rows of weeping women the benches
of the Temple appear to hare valued
him so little that the very place of his
burial became forgotten. For that
neglect the tablet came as tardy but
welcome reparation.—London Tribune.

Iterven p.nd Drain.
Nearly nil perfumes have anOseptlo
qualities and are valuable In keeping
away Infection.
The perfumes which are the moat
agreeable to the sense are not alwayfl
the most helpful to the nerves. Am
bergris, for instance, Is positively of
fensive to many, yet It Is said to pos
sess a wonderful power of clearing the
brain and driving away the blues. On
the other hand, attar of roses, with the
suggestion of glowing suns and gor
geous eastern colors, predisposes to
tears.
A faint odor of musk acts as a tonic,
for which the best antidote is the odof
of sandalwood. The fragrance of cit*
ron Is as soothing to nervous folk ai
the sound of faroff music.
The scent of orange flowers la so de
pressing to the action of the heart that
It Is not wife for any one with disease
of that organ to Inhale It for any
length of time. Reviving perfumed
come from herbaceous plants largely,
from the odors of mignonette, rose
inn ry nnd lavender, and soothe the
nerves.
The perfumes of lines. Jasmine and
acacia are pleasant nnd soothing to a
healthy sense, though dollcate nerves
cannot enjoy them even hi their garden
freshness. Hrought closer in clusters
of blossom, their odor Is narcotic and
depressing, no that persona grow faint
at the smell of them and may be pu<

SIMPLE MEDICINES.

If chemists and druggists disappear
ed from the face of the earth humanity
could still worry along with the simple
remedies which nature yields, prac
tically read}' made. There Is nothing
to beat rhubarb Juice as a cure fof
gout or rheumatism except water from
medicinal springs. All kinds of scurvy
nnd blood poisoning yield to the Jules
of lemons or of limes, which are ths
greatest blood purifiers In existence.
Even doctors acknowledge that nat
ural, fresh cream from cows' milk can
give points to cod liver oil and similar
nasty liquids In treating consumption.
Common mustard used as a plaster or
poultice Is the best cure for a cold on
the chest, and the white of nn egg with
sugar Is the finest medicine for hoarse
ness. To cure a burn an application <A
the white skin that lines the shell of
an egg Is unbeatable, while the raw
yolk Is a capital tonic. In fact, gar
dens and roadsides are full of herbs of
which the Juice or leaves afford reme
dies or palliatives for almost every dis
ease to which humanity Is belr.— New

PATIENCE and
SH O PE
It is not reasonable to as
sume that any chronic mal
ady—even though attended
by no dangerous symptoms
—can be cured at once. And
any preparation said to do
this may well be distrusted.
But it is the experience of
intelligent people all over
the land for over 30 years,
HOPE that a persevering use of
DR. KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY
according to directions, will soon relieve and
ultimately cure cases of Fever and Ague,
Biliousness, Rheumatism, Debility of the
Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys and Bladder, and
all disorders arising from an impure state
of the Blood, when no other medicine or
treatment has been of any permanent bene
fit. Sufferers may properly be reminded
that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is no speculative preparation, placed upon
the market to fill the pockets of a proprietor
who is ignorant of the first principles of
medicine, but a prescription used with uni
form success by Dr. Kennedy long before
he ever dreamed of making it public.

CLIFF VINEYARDS.

Going down the lthlne you get a lea
•ou la farming. If jou wanted to buy
a farm lu America you would go out
with a pick and spade and dig holad
all over u 100 acre tract to make sure
the soil was so and so and thut there
was not more than one stone to the
rood. On these cliff vineyards along
the lthlne It looks to you as If there
was not more than a bushel of eartb
to the rood and that the rest was all
•tone.
In America you wouldn't buy a farm
on the perpendicular surface of the
Grand canyon, yet you Imagine the
bluffs of the Ilhlne seemed almost as
Impossible before the enterprising
grapevines got a start there. There
may be a few Inches of space on tho
cliffs whore some German has not
made a terrace big enough for a bunch
of grapes, but If any such spot has
teen overlooked you failed to discover
It with your binoculars.
There are advantages In owning a
vineyard on the Rhine. Next to the
financial returns, the chief advantage
lies In the glamour of romance thut
hangs over the bluffs. Frowning cas
tles look down on you from the most
Inaccessible peaks.
"Who lives In that big brownstone
house?" you ask a German passenger
on your steamer as you round a bend.
"That is the castle of an old noble
man who kidnaped a beautiful maid
and held her prisoner," you are Ill
formed. "When the knights of those
days tried to rescue her, the old noble
man would simply drop a big stone or
two upon them as they attempted to
climb the cliff. One day while rolling
a stone down upon a knight the noble
man fell off and was killed."

the place Is for rent. Do you know

PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE.
Mimicry of Color and Form Common
Among Insects.
An official of the National noNum
at Washington who has made many
trips abroad In the Interest of that In
stitution states that In South Ameri
can forests the butterflies and the birds
are equally brilliant In their colors, but
that the butterflies, being weaker, fall
a prey to the birds. One very bright
hued species of butterfly, however, is
not disturbed by the birds on account
of the disagreeable odor that it emits.
Singularly enough, some other groups
of butterflies, which resemble In color
the species Just described, also escape
persecution by the birds, although they
emit no odor. It Is evident that the
similarity of color deceives the birds,
and thus serves as a shield for the but
terflies. This sort of mimicry of color
end form, which naturalists call "pro
tective resemblance," Is not very un
common among Insects.
Another form of "protective resem
blance" which exhibits much contriv
ance and skill Is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds hide their
egg* among stones thftt resemble the
eggs In form and color. The little "bot
tle tit" In England weaves a bottle
shaped nest out of moss, lichens and
spiders' webs, and when placed In a
troo or bush the nest so closely resem
bles its surroundings that It can hardly
be detected. The color and appearance
of the nest are Imitations of the pre
vailing color and appearance of the
particular tree In which It Is placsd.
Why lie Did Hot Healfn,
Sir William Wlghtman held office Is
the old Court of Queen's bench far be
yond the prescribed time, and at last,
on the eve of the "long vacation" he
took a sort of farewell of his brother
Judges. However, when "tlie morrow
of All fouls' " came around he turned
up smiling at Westminster hall. "Why,
Brother Wlghtman," said Sir Alexan
der Cock burn, "you told us that you
Intended to send In your reslgnatloa
to the lord chancellor before the end
of August." "So I did," said Sir Wil
liam, "but when I went home and told
my wife she said, 'Why, William, what
on earth dc you think that wo can do
with you messing about the house all
day?* So, you see, I was obliged ts
come down to court again."—Dundee
