ing and washing. Mime thing doue at
the tame lmur year in and year out.
She hadn't complained of kicknei-.s for
40 years. Then, all at once, she began
talking- of an iron band around her
jaws and queer pains in her head."
"She seldom went into town, did she'.'"
asked Terry. "Never, hardly. I'm not
much of a hand for gadding- about to
no purpose. She used to want to go in
to church Sundays, but I didn't just
like to hitch up when there was no
work to do. Hut I wish now I'd done
that for Mary." "She didn't visit
much with the neighbors, either, did
she'.'" asked Terry. "'o. That was
my doing, too. When theday's work is
done, I w ant to put on my slippers and
rest, and then to bed, and not go
skirmishing about or having a lot of
company in." He was silent awhile.
"I don't know what ailed Mary," he
said again. "She would sit looking at
nothing, straight ahead of her, by the
hour, and then cry and cry, yet always
saying she had, no trouble. And she
got weaker every day, and then her
mind went altogether. She didn't
know me, nor even her own name."
"She w ill be cured in that sanitarium,"
said Terry, cheerfully, "and come
home well in the spring." He watched
his old neighbor furtively awhile, and
then aid: "Do you know, Dalton,
some years ago my wife and daughter
got peevish and irritable. I thought
the steady work and loneliness were
telling on them. So I got that parlor
organ, and paid for a year's lessons for
Susy. Vie had music and singing
every evening, and the young folks
would gather in with their reading
clubs. Then I took two or three pa
pers; my wife is a main hand for
guessing the riddles. And once a year
I took her an' Susy up to town for a
week." "Yes," said Dalton. dryly.
"You spent a lot of money, I've heard."
"Jl's bringing me in good interest."
They sat in silence awhile. Then Ter-
ry put his hand on the old man's knee,
j "When she comes back, if she ever docs
I come, I'd open up life for her a bit,
j Dalton. You know how it is with po
j tatoes. You plant the best kind in pood
ground, and they yield splendid crops
j for a year or two. Then they begin
j to dwindle and rot." "Of course the
I ground runs out. They need new soil."
j "Yes. You plant them in a different
I lot. ami they yield big. healthy crops.
Human beings are like them, Dalton.
I You've got to renew the soil, give them
j fie-li fooi! fur their mind, or they'll
, il indie and rot." D.ilton did not speak
( for a long time. "There's something
, in it." he said, finally. "I'll do difTer

icai paper, "weakef.H the heart action,
induces congestion, invites indigestion,
produces poison through decompos
ing foods, and is thus the mother of
auto-poisoning, which either directly
causes or greatly aids in the produc
tion of quite 90 per cent, of all our
diseases." It looks as if there were
good physiological reasons for the
ability of brave men to go unscathed
through pest hospitals as Napoleon
did, and as physicians ure doing all
the time. It is wvll to keep in mind,
in considering this matter, that therei
is a wide difference between courage
and foolhardinesK.
T.efore a smoke-consuming plant
was put in operation the New York
post office had a six-horse-power
steam plant that consumed 24 tons of
hard coal iu a day. The present 12
horse power plant consume only 18
tons of soft coal in a day, and the
coal is about two dollars a ton cheap
er. Of course if this building can
burn soft coal, create no nuisance,
and save money, other buildings con
do the same. Hut at the bottom of
many other troubles besides the
moke nuisance is the apparent in
ability of some people to grasp the
fact that it pays to be decent.
toe professor's lectures daily becom
ing more brilliant while his weight
decreases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets awsy from a. beef
steak the nearer he gets to infinite
wisdom, until, when he arrives at
the thirtieth day of his fast, the
thinking world will be simply dazzled
by the intellectual outburst. If this
is demonstrated, all we need to do
to produce a "Thanatopsis" or a
"Gray's Klegy" Is to take a common
place poet and place him in a cell
for thirty days on a diet of filtered
water. In this connection the ex
traordinary fruitfulness of Mark
Twain's mind which has been notice
able of late years may be attributed
to the fact, which he himself, accord
ing to the St. Louis (i lobe-Democrat,
made known while on hit visit to
Missouri, that he doesn't permit him
self but one meal a dity. It may be
proven before long that literary men
eat too much. When they limit their
daily provender to one cracker and
a prune we shall' see a return to the
golden age of literature.

Michael Seholtz, of Brooklyn town,
has won eternal fame by eating seven
and one half pounds of steak at a sit

to wash down the meat. Yet, unthink

fame!

Twenty years ago the term "mld
shipiiinn," to designate theyoung man
at the naval academy ns abon
doned, and the meaningless "naval
cadet" was substituted for it..CNow,
by the naval appropriation act passed
just before adjournment, the old
form is restored. Every lover of
Cooper and Capt. Marryat and Clark
Iiussell and other romancers of the
sea will be glad to welcome buck the
good old title of midshipman.
The most expensive belt of the sea

cost the state $0,000,000. The Milwau

If one believed all that is said of
public men, he would conclude that
government was never so corrupt as
it is now ; but if one looks back for a
century or so he will discover that the
standard of public morals U higher
to-day than ever before. Sir Robert
Walpole thought that every man had
his price, because he could buy all the
votes he needed to carry bills through
parliament. Indeed, in the eighteenth
century votes in parliament were
openly bought and sold. All that is
changed. Now, neither a member of
parliament nor a congressman would
be allowed to retain his seat after it
was proved that he had taken a bribe.
The art of retracting without tak
ing anything back if the bull may be
allowed seems to be understood in
Jupun. A young orator at a political
meeting called a public official a
thief, A policeman on duty gravily
rose ami uddressed a remark iu u
low tone to the speaker, who there
upon said: "The chief of police rc
(piests me to retract the words which
1 have just spoken. Although the word
of a sage should never reenter, let
us make a concession; let us take
back the word and keep the idea."
Great applause and cries of "llravo!"
greeted the orator's escape from his
dilemma.
Another honest man has been
found. This time he is an employe of
one of Chicago's elevated roads. He
found a pocketbook containing over
$40,000 in money and securities. The
owner proved to be a Chicago woman,
whoe profound generosity was ex
cited to such un extent that the re
