Mr. Malachi Litton, of Thomp
son township, was among those
registered at the Fulton House
for dinner Monday. Mr. Lu
ton's family have passed through
a siege ol typhoid fever beginning
in July, that has been a moie
than ordinarily sore affliction.
First his wife took it, and after
passing through a regular course
of it suffered a relapse, which, of
course, was worse than the first,
and for a long time her life was
despaired of. About the time
she was out of danger, their son
Oscar, took it, and of course
passed through a regular period
of the disease. Both are out,
but like others who have had it,
it will be a Ion-, time before they
are a well as they were before
they had it.
The Difference.
Tennyson or Longfellow could
take a piece of worthless paper;
write a poem on it and make it
worth (15.0). That's gei.ius.
Rockefeller can write a few
words on a sheet of paper and
make it worth 5,000,000. That's
capital.
Tho United States can take an
ounce of gold aud stamp upon it
an "eagle bird" and make it
worth 20. That's money.
A mechanic can take raw ma
terial wc rth 5, and make it into
watch springs worth 1,000
That's skill.
A merchant can take an article
worJ.li 75 cents aud sell it for
1.00 That's business.
A ditch digger works ten hours
a day and han lies several tons of
earth for 1.25. That's labor.
The printer of this can write a
check for 90,000,000 but it
would u 't be worth a di me. That's
rough.
Fvery person who Is "posted'
calls on Leslie W. Seylar for his
Drugs. That's good judgment.
There is Linnuajte in Laughter.
A laugh is a good thing- some
kinds of laiivf at least. But
there are smiles thaf. are as cruel
as a knife thrust, and the laugh
ter of the thoughtless, echoing
person is meaningless.
It is curious how, now and
agaiu, anecdote after auecdote
will raise a laugh or a smile long
after the oriaiual jest or point
has been lost sight of. A drawn
down countenance, a mis-pro
nounced word, even an ungener
ous personal remark will drtw
forth a loud echo of what started
as spontaneous mirth. Uje
laughs on and on, because, seem
ingly, it would be discourteous
to relax one's lace to its natural
lines again.
Have you ever listened quite
impersonally to the words that
brought forth these sounds ? As
senseless, as void of wit, wisdom
or real jollity as the conversation
of fairly intelligent persons well
could be.
But it the laugh is purchased
by the sacrifice of a kind thought,
by the telling of a half-truth, by
the dragging down of some se
(yet belief, either yours or an
other's, to parade it as harlequin
then the price is too high.
There is so much that is legiti
mately tunny; there are so many
wavs besides unkind ones; there
is so much of the humorous thit
is close to the borderland of ten
derness, that it is really well
worth while "maKing people
laugh" by such means as leave
no sting, that carry n.) hint of
treachery.
Use your wit cantio.isly. See
that your humor has no vanity
pushing it along into notice; and,
if you aren't funny a bit, and
can't be, remain content to laugh
at the pleasant jokes of ottiers,
and to frown down quite inde
pendently those that are unkind.
Let your laughter be as honest
as your speech,
At present the epidemic of
measles in Carlisle has reached

Combinj Wet Hair it Injurious.
"I've just washed my hair, and
1 can't do a thing with it!" is an
exclamation so often heard as to
be stock for the joke makers,
say 8 a contributor to the Design
er. Much of the anuoyance de
pendent on washing the hair
might be dispensed with if the
owner would refrain from comb
ing it until dry. It is tho per
sistent manipulation while wet
which takes all the electricity out
of it, and renders it stringy and
lifeless when dry. This was
demonstrated to be a fact wheu a
frieud and myself took a shampoo
at the same time; I combed mine
out while wet, as usual, but she
r ifrained, and when dry, her hair
was soft, iluffy and tractable,
while mine was almost unmanageable.

It
To Freshen Bread,
was only after years of
housekeeping that I found out
how to freshen heme made bread
so that it is as good as new, says
a contributor to the Designer.
I dip the loaf in cold water put it
in a pan and bane it till it is heat
ed throu, h; then I wrap it up in
a damp cloth, and when cold it is
as good us when tirst baked.
To those who demand hot
bread for breakfast serve reheat
ed breidn, muthus, rolls or bis
cuits. The term "warmed ove'W
will be forgotten If the bread is
reheated propetly, and the result
will be equally delicious aud far
more healthful than the freshly
baked article.
