Henry Ward Hoecher oneo reeelved a letter from a lad, asklnsr him to find him "an easy place." This was his re ply: "You can not be an editor; do not try tho law; do not think of tho ministry, let alono all 'ships, shops and merchandise: abhor politics: don't practleo medicine: be not a farmer nor a mechanic; neither be a soldier or a sailor. Don't work. Don't study. Don't think. None of these are easy. O, my son! You have como Into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave." Railroad companies may no longer carry their business letters over their own roads without paying postage to the Government. An order has been aent out by Postmaster-General Wilson, insisting upon the enforcement of the postal laws against railways carrying their own letters. An exception is made In favor of letters that have to do with the business of the train carrying them. But all letters to the station agents and officials are forbidden to be carried without postage and the inspec tor arc directed to enforce tho law. Birds in general are the friends of man, and it Is doubtful whether a single species can be named which Is not more beneficial than harmful. The great mass of our smaller birds, numbering hundreds of species, are the natural checks upon tho undue multiplication of insect-pests. Many of thorn rarely make ubo of other than insect food, whllo all, as shown by scientific investi gations already made, depend largely or wholly, during considerable periods of tho year, upon an insect diet. Even the Ill-reputed hawks and owls prey up on field-mice, grasshoppers, and other noxious insects or vermin, some never molest the farmer's poultry, and others only exceptionally. Everybody knows what a picnic is but most folks would find it hard to say how it got that name, and yet it is simple enough when you come to learn of it When the picnic was being arranged for, the custom originally was that those who intended to be present should supply tho eatables and drinkables. A lUt, of those necessities having been drawn up, it was passed around, and each person picked out tho articles of food or drink that ho or she was willing to furnish, and the name of the article was nicked or ticked off the list. The open air entertainment thus became known as "pick and nick." The custom is said to have dated from 1802, so that the picnio is wholly an institution of the nineteenth century. Of all the detestable people on the face of the earth the man or woman who persistently grumbles deserves the first place. It matters not what the occasion may be, such people never see the bright side nor allow another to do so, if he can possibly prevent it. Thoy rise up in the morning and make every body around thorn feel as badly as possible by grumbling until tired nature gives way and they go to sleep. Such people are unfit to die, and unworthy to live. They are worse in their effect than a Kansas cyclone, for they draft and destroy all that la good with which they may come in contact. Every neighborhood has a nuisance of this kind, and the only use we can see for such people is to fill a hole In the ground. Touohing the question of a general system of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain, Lord Salsbnry said there would be difficulty in dealing with cases so large as to con tain Issues of a vital character. After much discussion with the United States upon that point, he thought that the tendency of the United States was to desire the rapid and summary decision of a question. The British government thought that the principal of obligatory arbitration was attended with consider able hazard. Proper maohlnery roust be first provided. In reoent years the United States bad evlnoed a disitositioii to take up the cause of many South American republics, but this govern roent had not quarreled with that dis position. Great Brlttain, he added, had taken similar interest in disputes regarding the frontiers of Sweden, Holland, Belgium and Portugal. In studying the welfare of neighboring people It Is necessary to remember that the claims of such people may possibly become matters of arbitration, and hence that it is necessary to guard against an obligatory system of arbitra tion. For these reasons, bis lordship said, he bad approach!' the question with considerable cautl'jn. The beat man's working shoes you ver saw tor I1.2S t Robinson's.

Grant was very fond of children, and was once introduced to a bright little girl, who gazed at him with an expression half-Incredulous. Finally she said: "Are you the Gen. Grant that fought in the battles?" "Yes, I was in a good many battles," said Grant. The little girl looked at him In wonder Ing silence, and then said: "Let's hear you holler!"

A man of a neighboring town who couldn't spare 1.00 a year for a news paper, recently sent 50 2-cent postage stamps to a down east Yankee to learn how to stop a horse from slobbering, He got his recipe and he'll never forget it: "To stop a horse from slobbering, teach him to spit." A misstep will often make a cripple for life. A bottle of Henry & Johnson's Arnica and Oil Liniment at hand, will not prevent tho misstep, but used im mediately it will savo being a cripple.

The boy who wrote this composition on "The Editor" may some day shine in his chosen profession: "The editor is one of tho happiest Individuals in the world. Ho can go to any circus in the afternoon and evening without paying a penny; also, inquests and hangings; has free tickets to theatres, has wedding cake sent to him, and sometimes gets a licking, but not often, for he can tuko things back in tho next issue, which he generally does. While other folks have to go to bed early the editor can sit up late at night and see all that Is going on. When I am a man I mean to be an editor, so that I can stay out late at night. That will be jolly." All persons knowing themselves in' debted to me are requested to call and make satisfactory settlement before Aug. 1st, or the account will be loft with a justice for collection.

The Doctor's Duty He must flret examine his patient, by the light of science, to determine what the trouble is. He must determine and prescribe precisely, the kind of druga needed to effect a cure. He must direct the doses and leave no room for doubt on the part of the patient or the druggist who compounds the prescrip tion. There his duty ends. The Druggist's Duty He should fill the prescription precisely as it is writ ten. He should not deviate a hairs-breadth either in quantity or kind. His drugs and medicines should be the purest and best. He should shut his eyes to anything but the veky best. He should avoid the handling of inferior drugs as he would any other criminal act. When he has done all this, he has simply done his duty no more. Your Duty If medicine is to cure a disease, it must be good medicine the best only, is good enough. Your duty to yourself and to your doctor is, to go to the very best druggist you can find, without letting dol lars and distance stand in your way.
