Small Courtesies. Habit counts for so much in little things that one cannot look too care fully after the small courtesies in one's own conduct. A writer In the Interici describes a visit to a homo where the young people possessed the true ness which liablt had made natural. One evening last week I entered a room where several young men witli hooks 1 and work were sitting around the lamp. The young man with the lex Icon and the grammar on the table be fore him was the busiest of the group, but he instantly rose and remained standing until I had taken my seat. Ths little action was automatic; the habit of his family is to practice small courtesies, and the boys have been trained from childhood to pay defer enee to women. They always rise wlielflver a lady, their mother, sistei frle&L or guest of the house, comes into the room where they are at work. Neither mother nor sister goes om after dark without an escort. One of the boys can always go out of his way, or iiiKl It in his way, to see her safely to a .friend's door, or to the meeting which she wishes to attend. Most win ning and sweet is the air of good breed ing which these young men have ac quired, which they wear with an un conscious grace. "You should not care so much about the merely superficial conduct," says a friend. "Veneering is only a polish laid on. 1 approve of the man or woman who is honest, sincere. I can pardon him a little brusquenesJ' which may be his only misfortune." It is not to he polite. Wc are apt to grow confused on this sub ject, and to fancy that there is a nat ural conflict between goodness of heart and elegance of deportment. The fact is, life would be a far more agreeable thing if politeness were more assidu ously cultivated. Horse Powtr. The horse has wonderful muscular power, but will suffer a great Ueul at times with nervous attacks if not properly groomed aud stabled. This illustrates that a great deal of neuralgia is caused by imprudence aud re sults from shock from cold to the nervous organism in parts most exposed to the eol.i. Hence, neuralgia is so often an affiled->n ot 'die head, face and neck, as they are fre quently badly protected against intense cold.

JONATHAN WlllTKLY'd WIDOW STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS. But Rlie linn Heen Cured—-T.oiis: Mny She Live and Lons Live the Remedy to Which She Owen Her Life. From the Gazette, Meadville, Pa. The following interesting interviews con cerning the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, have lately been re ceived at the offiaa of this newspaper: The first embodies a eonversai ion with Mrs. M. A. Whitely, the widow of the late Rev. Jonathan Wbiiely, D. D., an eminent div ne of the Methodist denomination. Mrs. Whitely spoke as follows: "I consider it my duty to tell for publica tion the immense benefit I have derived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Three years ago I was stricken by paralysis, ami lay helpless for months. I was at last advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which after many mis givings I concluded to do. as I had lost faith mall medicines. The first box helped me much, and the continual tpmof the pills has worked and is working wonders. To-day I have driven twelve miles without fatigue. I cannot say too much in praise cf Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for they have done mo a world of good." Mr. John W. Beatty, who is a contractor and builder of Meadville, of the highest ru spec;ability, mys: "Although I have passed the meridian of life, I am glad to lie able to say that I have but little or no use for medicine of any kind. Rut my wife is not so fortuuato. During the last few years she has been a sufferer from dropsy and disease of the henrt, and at times suffered greatly. A few mouths ago she be gan taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pule People and ha- been greatly benefited by their use. She experienced a numbness anil coldness In her limbs and at times could scarcely walk by reason of poor circulation oftheblood. All these unpleasant symptoms have disappeared and I confidently hope to see her a well woman ere long. 1 will also take the liberty to speak for a brother-in-law ol mine, G. W. Myer, who resides at Hhenk leyville, Mercer Ouuutv, Pa.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have made htm a new. mnu ami he is as one res cued from the very jaws of deutli." Mr. Prentice Fry, of Meadville, testifies as follows: "My wife and daughter have been failing in health for some time and the treatments of physicians iu their cases have been fruit less. Bo much has been said of Dr. Williams' P.nlc Pills for Palo People that I resolved to try them, and myself and family will always be glad that Providence threw such a medi cine iu our way. The pale faces and wasted chocks of my wife and ilfiughter have disap peared, and the ruddy glow of health has re appeared. Pen cannot record my feelings in the matter, and nil 1 can say is that I trust all who ate bowed down by the heavy hand of physical infirmity will learn that there is a remedy that cures and places sull'ering humanity where they can enjoy this earthly existence.

A Wonderful Statement From Mrs. McGillas to Mrs. Finkhnm. I think it my duty, dear Mrs. Pink ham, to tell you what your wonderful Compound has done for me. 1 was dreadfully ill—the doctors said | and some- times 1 would get so blind, I could not sec for several minutes. I could not stand very long without feeling sick and vomiting. I could not breathe a long breath without screani ing, my heart pained so. 1 also had female weakness, inflam mation of ovaries, painful menstrua tion, displacement of the womb, itch ing of the external parts, and ulcera tion of the womb. I have had all these complaints. f i he pains I had to stand were some thing dreadful. My husband told me to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkhaia's medicine, which 1 did, and after taking it for a while, was cured. No other kind of medicine for mo as long as you make Compound. I hope every woman who suffers will take your Compound and be cured. — MRS. J. S. MCGILLAS, 113 Kilburn avenue. Bockford, 111. ~7Tm NOTRUB"ow=™ O U *WAIXGOATING? F tf* AN OLD WHALER'S SERMON. JONAH AND THE WHALE; A REPLY TO 3KEPTICS. An Able Seaman Tells of the Experi ences That Convinced Him of the Truth of the Hiblo Story. PESPITE modern scientists re searches and learned treatises of eminent divines, who have sought eagerly to prove to the world the unreasonableness of the assertion that a whale can swallow a man, I desiro to say, without fear of •reasonable contradiction, that from practical personal knowledge on tho subjoet I know they are all wrong. Thirty years ago I sailed from Now Bedford, Mass., on a whalo ship for a forty-four months' oruise in the South Seas with the veteran whaleman, Captain Elisha Babcook, who is well known to the whaling fraternity. We had a very successful voyage up to tho time I left tho expedition, twenty seven months afterward, oil the coa9t of Borneo. Now, a whale is tho big gest of all God's living creatures on sea or land, and what wo call a sperm whale is the smallest ot whales,varying in length from 50 to 180 feet and large in proportion, making from 40 to 140 barrels of oil. One beautiful day in August, ISG3, on the Western Ocean a wh do was sighted by the man at tho masthead, who sang out: "Ah, she blows." Those words had the effect of nn elcctrio shock. Every man in the ship from stem to stern was up and doing in nn instant. Presently the Captain shunted back: "Where away!" "About three points on tho lee bow, sir." "How far off?" "About three miles, sir." Then snid the Captain to the crew : "Back your main yards." "Bower lioats and away," was the next order. Our ship carried four boats, each manned by a crew of five men aud an ollieer. The boat in which I was reached the whale first. When we got to him ho was asleep. It was the most dangerous time to strike him, because nobody can tell what movo a whnlo suddenly aroused will make first. He was tho largest sperm I think I ever Baw, nnd probably was good for 140 barrels of oil. That is a vast amount to get from a sperm whale, although from a bowhend whale one sometimes gets 250 barrels. When wo struok this fellow ho raised his tail, whioh measured about fifteen feet across, and made the water seethe and boil a moment or two; then he went down. Being fast to him with irons, we paid out tho line very quiolily to keep from going dowu with him. Presently the lino grew slaok, which means that he had stopped soinewhero just beneath us. But the water was so thick with his blood that we were uuable to see how far down he was. Wo knew he was near, but how near we could not tell just thon. While wo were eagerly looking over the side of the boat, quick as a flash he struck the bottom of tho boat and we went llying. When I reoovered my senses I was about fifteen feet below, looking for fresh air. When 1 reached the top w hat should I meet hut the whale, just as h# was raising his tre mendous tail high nbovo my head. I darted to oue side. Dowu came the tail with an awful splash. If I had been under it 1 should have been smashed to smithereens. As I was making desperate efforts to get away from tho whale, who should como up right alongside me but tho harpooner. He could not swim. A few stokes nway there was a buoy. 1 secured it, dragged it to him, aud just ns hu was about to give up in despair ho grasped it, and was saved. Then we both citing to tho buoy und took in tho sit uation. T'Uo bow onrsmau was thrown over about twenty rods. The tub oars mau, stroke oarsman, and the second mate were thrown ill difiorcut direc tion.". I, being midship oarsman, bad been picked up, as a pancake, and flopped over and shoved down. While the tiarpooner aud I hung to tho buov wo, wero kept busy kiokiug away sharks, pushing them first oue way, then auother. Not sharks of tho kind one sees around the bays nnd rivers, but big fellows,from fifteen to twenty live feet long—tho kind that ouu divide a fellow at one nip. Our stroke oarsman could not swim, but he got hold of a piece of the boat; that pieoe was fast to tho liue aud the line was fast to the whale. He passed us like a shot, reaching out his bauds aud shouting, "Bill 1 Bill 1 Save me ! Save mo !" He had no sooner said it than ho was gone. Presently the whale went down, tho pieoo of boat wont with him, and the Btroke oarsman was left at tho mercy of the waves, a good distance away. Meanwhile the other three boats were coming up, and just as ho had exhausted himself, strug gling to keep on top, the third mate's boat reaohed him. He was rescued, and then the rest of us were pioked up. All this happened witliiu ten minutes. Nothiug remained of our small boat. Tho 500 fathoms of line gono us were also the lances, harpoons, and the two buoys. One of the other boats, how ever, put for the whale and captured him. Now, when I Has clinging to that buoy the Bible story of Jonah aud tho wliaio came forcibly to my mind, and I wondered if I was doomed to go through Jonah's experience. When the whale was ly iog at the ship's side and we were cutting him in I told tho boys of these feelings. They urged me to go through the whale's throat, and I resolved to do so when his head oaipe on deok, to demonstrate tho possibility of Jonah's experience. 1 did not then believe in the Bible, but I verified the whole story, for when the head was on the deok I weDt through tho throat as easily as I had crawled through bars when a boy. Tko bead containing the spermaceti oil is always cut from the trunk and hauled in whole. Of course the whale's jaws come with it, and they measured often from eight to twelve I feet. When we killed other whales, ' from time to time, some of the men ; lifted up tho lower jaw, while the rest, one alter another, would crawl ' through tho throat, not down where Jonah went, bat to the deck. This I did more times than I have fingers and toes. It should be remembered that j in each case we crawled through the throat of a dead whale. If, when dead, j a whale had a throat to admit me, ! then weighing 170 pounds, what would be the possibility of a live, mad and hungry whale? Although a sperm whale is large, tho bowhead whale is much larger, with a throat not only capable of swallowing a well-built man, but, in my judgment, a good* I sized horse or cow. Thus it can read- ' ily be understood how and why I am so emphatic in ray remarks at the bo ginning of this article. I would fur ther say that all the stories and learned opinions that havo ever been devised and related in reference to the inabil ity of a whale to swallaw a man are simply absurd. I am a skeptio no longer, and, whatever men may say or believe concerning the wonderful whale story of tho Bible, not one jot or tittle of it ought to be abated,mod ified or left out. When a whale is killed he never dies unless his head is toward the sun. Sometimes the skips would be overcast when we killed a whale, but when the clouds would vanish it would be seen that his head was toward the sun. I never knew a whale to do otherwise. I cannot explain it, nor did I ever hear it explained, but some how, I have an idea that God, the cre ator of this monstrous creature, has given him tho instinct to turu to the light while ho is sinking in darkness and death. Is not this a lesson to tho higher creatures, teachiug them m darkness and despair to keep their faces ever toward the Greater Sun?— William H. Crampton in New York Sua. WISE WORDS. There is not in the world a mask that cuu disguise vulgarity. The eye of ambition is au orb that can bo closed by no opiate. A man or woman out of temper is like an instrument out of tuue. It is far easier to sec through a stone wall thau through prejudice. Many a man grovels in the dust who lias au arm long enough to reach the Bky if he would only put it out. Good breeding is the result of much good sense, some good nature, aud a little self-denial for the sake of others. A man hurts himself more in his wife's estimation by beiug brutal to other pooplo thau ho does by being brutal to her. There are people who would do great acts, but because they wait for tho great opportunities, life passes, aud tho acts of love are not done at all. A pretty girl is like a catchy air when you first hear it you go uround everywhere humming .it, but tho first new ono knocks it out of your head. A girt who cau'fc see an old dead horse in tho street without cryiug, will walk a mile to look at a lot of dead birds stuck on bonnets in a shop window. When wo are children we would rather bo whipped tfiau apologizo for anything ; after we get older we would rather apologize for anything thau bo whipped. Just a little bit of loviug thought can give so much happinoss, aud tho richest people iu tho world are those who have learned tho joy of sharing all their happiness with others. Life is mado up, not of great sacri fices or duties, but of the littlo things, iu which smiles, aud kindnesses, aud small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve tho heart aud secure comfcrt.—ThaSouth-West. Penalty for Kiiiiig. r liiig, An English custom of not so long ago was to hang smugglers ou gibbets arranged along the coasts, and then tar tho bodies that they might bo pro served a loug while, a* a warning to other culprits. As late as 1822 three IUCU thus varnished could havo beeu seen hanging before Dover oastlo, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Some times tho process was extended to rob bers, assassins, incendiaries aud other criminals. JoiiQ Painter, who fired tho dock yard at Portsmouth, was first, hanged and theu tarred in 177 G. From tirao to time lie was given a fresh coat of varnish, aud thus was made to last nearly fourteen years. Tho weird ! custom did not stop smuggling or j other crime, but 110 doubt it worked some influence as a preventive. Evaporation of Moisture. Soil that is covered with vegetation evaporates a very much greater quan tity of moisture thau soil upon which there is no vegetable growth. It ap pears that the root?, stalks aud blos soms of the plants are conslautly drawing up moisture from the eartn and throwing it out. Experiments made | by Professor Nollney demonstrate tliat bare ground gives out only the quan tity of moisture received from the atmosphere, but that wet soil covered with plants, whether it be swamp lands or irrigated, will, under favor able circumstances, give out a much greater amount of water than that which corresponds to the precipi tation that occurs during the same period. An lowa man was sentenced a fow days ago to ninety-nine years in the penitentiary for murder, and I three years for horse stealing. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A product called "wire-glass" which, it is asserted, presents an effective barrier against fire, consists simply of a mesh-work of wire embedded in a glass plate. Even when licked by Haines and raised to a red heat it does not fall to pieces, and it not only re sists tho heat of fire, but also the shattering effects of cold water poured over it while it is yet glowing hot. At a Bargerton (Ohio) match factory recently 177.926,400 matches were made in a clay. At that rate that factory can produce in a year 64,913,- 136,000 matches, which meaus 927 mutches a year, or nearly three matches a day for each one of the 70,000,000 inhabitants of the couutry. All this work is done by automatic machinery, that is without its equal iu the work. A double-deck tuunel is the project of the Metropolitan District Railway, of London, for facilitating traffic on its underground line in that city. The present underground line lias a double track and it is proposed to build two single track tuunels at some distance below thi9 line, to be used for express trains, there being only ono station between tho terminus and the poiut where tho low level lino will rise to the grade cf the existing line. Should One Sleep Alter Ealing! We would not now revert to this oft-disoussed question to give anyone's theoretical views or personal belief iu the matter, or to bring forward the familiar argument, that because ani mals sleep just after they have eaten, hence the human animal should do the same, says the Medical Record. Doc tor Schule, of Fribonrg, has, however, approached the subject from tho chemico-experimental 6ide, and his re sults are worthy of reooid. Having analyzed the stomach's contents in two normal subjects a few hours after meals, some of which were followed by sleep and others not, he finds that sleep has for its constant etlect the weakening of tho stomach's motility, and at the same time there is an in crease in the acidity of tho gastric juice. On the other hand, simple re pose in the horizontal position stimu lates the motive function of tho stom ach, but does not iucrease the acidity of gastric juice. The conclusion is hence reached that, while one should stretch himself out for a rest iu tlio Horizontal decubitus after a hearty meal, ho should resist tho tempting Morpheus, especially if there be pres ent a dilated state of tho stomach or if its juices bo hyperacid. Power of Pedaling; A series of experiments imva been made by M. Bouuy, of Paris, says En gineering, to determine the power ex erted iu propelling u bieyclo at differ ent speeds. The method adopted was to take an autographic record of the total force exerted ou the pedal through a complete revolution. Au examina tion of tho records showed, in tho place, that there was 110 absolute dead point 6uch as occurs with an ordinary connecting rod and crank motion ; aud, secondly, that there is always some pressure-on the pedal during tiie rise, and this, of course, tends slightly to reduce the speed. For a speed ol ton miles an hour nineteen foot pounds of work was done per serai revolution, ami for a speed of twenty miles an hour the work douo was sixty seven foot-pounds. These figures show that the average pressure of the foot required on tho pedal increased very rapidly with the speed, treble tho work being needed in order to double the velocity. Tho bicycle was run on a wooden racing track, and tho results would probably differ considerable it tho trials were made ou a rough road. Copper Coins for Russia. Tho Birmingham (England) Mint has just received a huge order from the Russian Government for copper coins. The total number of coins re quired is over 70,000,000. The coins, which consist of three, two, one, half ami quurter kopeck pieces, are already being struck olf. A Hood Ju.lgc of Art.
