Tho Evening Tost tells of "a mother
who could hear in the next room every
morning her small son of nine talking
to himself as ho spelled out the words j
and added figures, crosswise, up and
down, and in every possible way, of a
largo calendar that hung directly m
front of his bod, who bethought her- '
self of furnishing him better occupa
tion. Sho took down the calendar and .
put up in its place a good print of the
•Madonna della Soggioln,' this with no
word to him of the change. The next
morning the little one's voice was still- '
ed. but a noiseless peep into the room \
showed his eyes glued rapturously to
the picture, while about his lips the
hint of a smile betrayed that his ab
sorbing interest was a pleased one.
Since then at intervals his morn lug
picture Is changed, not too frequently,
for a child demands reiteration, until
the boy has become a small connois- j
sour in famous paintings, and his oeca- '
sionnl short visits to an art gallery are
a great delight to him because of his
matin studies. The first ten minutes
of a child's day are a most valuable re
ceptive period. The young brain is re- !
freshed by sleep, unexcWed by any of
the day's occupations, eager for ini- j
press-ions, and peculiarly responsive to
their influence."

MRS. PETERSON'S STORY.
I have suffered with womb trouble
over fifteen years. I had inflammation,
enlargement and displacement of the
womb.
The doctor wanted me to take treat
ments, but I had just begun taking
my h\:sband
stantly, also headache, and
was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it
seemed as though my heart was in my
throat at times choking mc. I could
not walk around and I could not lie
down, for then my heart would beat so
fast 1 would feel as though I was
smothering. I had to sit up in bed
nights in order to breathe. I was so
weak I could not do anything.
I have now taken several bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and used three packages of
Sanative Wash, and can say I am
perfectly cured. I do not think I
could have lived long if Mrs. Pink
ham's medicine had not helped me.—

Heat in the Body.
An important source of heat in th*
body is du<' to the friction of the blood
as it circulates In its vessels. All ol
this resistance, which is overcome by
the heart, is transformed directly into
heat. We may calculate the amount
approximately. If we suppose that 18C j
ccs. of blood are expelled front the left
ventricle at each stroke, under a pres
sure of one third of an atmosphere, this j
would correspond to .0102 kilogramme- I
metres at each stroke, and at 72 strokes
a minute, this would give 44.3124 kilo
gruramemetres per minute. If we sup- j
pose that t lie right heart does one-quar |
ter the work of the left, or about 10
kilogramme-metres per minute, we ;
have for the total work per minute \
54.312 kilogramme-metres, which cor- j
responds to 128 calories per minute.
This is perhaps a rather high esti- j
mate for ordinary conditions, but
where the heart is forced to pump a 1
much larger quantity of blood in order
to maintain the normal temperature, j
this estimate is probably much exceed !
ed at times. Since this friction takes j
place largely in the most constricted
portions of the circulation, it would be j
natural to expect that the blood which ;
had been driven through the capillary |
system of a gland would issue much
warmer than it entered, and such we
find to be the case. Thus the blood of
the hepatic vein has been observed to
be 40.73, while that In the right heart
wns 37.7. In the muscles no contrac
tion can take place without an in j
creased flow of blood through them
with a simultaneous constriction of the
capillaries, which would naturally give
rise to a considerable production of
heat—a fact constantly observed.—San- '
itarian.
The Sequence Car.
Freight car numbered 12345 of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad passed through Darlington, j
Fawtuckeit, one day last week on the
branch railroad. What that ear con
tained, where it was from, or where it j
was going is of no consequence. The i
number of the ear, 123-15, is all that is j
of special interest.
This number on freight cars is the
fortunate number to find. A few years
ago, and perhaps until to-day, commer
cial travelers and whoever else was
traveling much, or was much about the
railroad, were all the time looking for
this magic number, in the belief that
to see it was a good omen, and wonder- ,
fill were the stories told of the good
fortune which fell to those who were
so happy as to see it. It is a simple j
matter, and yet it is not often a car
with this number comes into view. It
Is very likely that had any other par
ticular number been chosen it would
have been as difficult to find It.
A gentleman who saw this car last
week had been looking for If eontinu
ally for more than half a score of years,
and during that time had traveled
thousands of miles, but his eye had
never been blessed with a sight of it
until Tuesday. He is not so supersti- [
tious as to fancy that his fortune is to
change because he lias seen the cat
wi't-h this number, but his curiosity is
gratified after so long a search.—Provi

A Famous Pistol.
Capt. Wm. P. Hogarty, of Kansas
City, Ivan., has in his possession an old
dueling pistol which was originally
owned by Josef Maria Graf von Dunn,
who was commander-in-chief of the j
Austrian army during tlie Seven Years'
War, and one of Austria's greatest
heroes. The pistol is in an excellent
state of preservation, although it has
been little used since its owner in 1757
| drove Frederick the Great from
| Prague and forced him to evacuate Bo
hemia.
Josef had two of these pistols, and
after his death one passed to each
' branch of his family. William Theodore
Maria von Dann, a grandson, who was
banished from Austria in 1848, brought
one of them to America, nud before Ids
death at Quindaro, a few years ago.
he gave it to Capt. Hogarty. It is in
laid with gold and silver and artistic
ally carved. Capt. Hogarty prizes it I
j very highly. He is himself something
of a military hero—having been decor
ated by Congress for his" distinguished
bravery in the battles of Antietam
■ and Fredericksburg—hence it Is a
j pleasure to him to own a pistol which
! was carried by such a great military
character as Josef Maria Graf von
j Dann.—Kansas City Star.

THE LITTLE_ONE AWAY.
World ain't like It used to bo—colder skies in May;
Summer ain't so sweet to me: The little one's away!
Wish the birds n-singing eould roach the ones that roam;
Wish the sweet bells ringing oould ring my darling home!
Bit here in the sunshine, solemn-like, and see
Morning-glories peeping in where once she used to ho;
They loved her little window, with the blossoms and the lights;
Gave her glad good mornings, kissed her sweet good nights.
Bit here in the darkness, when no winds tho maples stir,
And hear the Silence siuging a sad, sweat song of her;
I know the lilies dream of her, with her the roses roam,
And sunflowers shino like stars of gold and leau to light hor horno.
World ain't what it used to bo—skies are eold and gray;
Summer ain't as sweet to me: The little one's away!
Wish the sweet birds singing could reaeh tho ones that roam;
Wish the glad bells ringing oould ring my darling home!

I am not a college-bred man, just
a plain "readiu' writin', rithmetic"
sort of a mortal, not given to beat
ing about tho bush, but trying with
all my heart to speak and write so as
to be plainly understood. And so,
when, after writing this advertise
ment, I looked it over, it seemed to
express in a fairly intelligent way the
desire that moved me to its composi
tion and tho subsequent expenditure
of coin necessary to secure its publi
cation iu the Republic. I desired to
secure a tenant for my property. The
premises and the location were de
scribed with sufficient attention to de
tail and accuracy to enable the reader
to arrive at a decision us to whether
that was such a plaoe as he or sho
might have iu view for residential
purposes. The rental was set out as
distinctly as my knowledge of the
English language would permit me to
state in words or figures. Those pre
liminaries disposed of, there remained
for me nothing to do but reflect upon
the bereavement by which I, a con
firmed bachelor, found myself in pos
session of something l'or which I had
no earthly use, and to trust to the
power of tho press for a measure of
assistnuce in the preservation of that
possession or its disposition in a man
ner satisfactory from a financial and
personal standpoint.
It was plain that city raised as I
had been I could not reside content
edly in such a place. I was ignorant
of the management of a house or the
control aud guidance of a corps of
servants. The location was against
my taking up my abode there. It was
too retired aud quiet, decidedly. The
ten days I had spent there while the
carpenters, painters and decorators
were putting the placo in shipshape,
were the most lonesome and dismal in
all my experience. The nearest neigh
bor was about two blocks distant, but
had he been next door it would not
have relieved the isolation, for he and
his family extinguished tho flights and
retired at 9 o'clock, "leaving the world
to darkness and to me."
In an old-fa3kioued rocker I would
sit for hours, my reverie only dis
turbed by the rattle and roar of a pass
ing train and the accompanying bark
of every dog on the circuit, these dy
ing away and intensifying the solitude
aud loneliness.
I havo Baid that I was a plain
speaking man and a plain-writing one.
Perhaps, in tho interest of truth, I
should qualify that statement by add
ing that I thought I was until the re
sults of my rushing into the want col
umns of n metropolitan newspaper
disabused my mind of tho idea. My
appeal to house hunters met with "a
generous response. They came singly,
in pairs and quartets, in crowds.
Every train bore a delegation of them.
Not all house-hunters are demented,
not by any manner of means. But a
goodly percentage of those who fav
ored Cloversyde with their presence
on that beautiful Sunday just a year
ago to-day were, I am bouud to think,
weak mentally. Either this, or there
was a gigantio conspiracy among the
guild to harass and annoy me, and
thus add to the embarrassment of the
predicament in which I found myself
through this sudden acquisition of
landed property. To particularize;
The first person to call was a pudgy,
red-faced gentleman, who, after he
had toiled up the hill nud relieved
himself of a snort or two, requested
to be shown over the place. When we
had returned from tho inspection my
caller protested that there was no
sewer connection.
How under the shining sun there
should be suoh a thing with the near
est sewer five miles away is beyond
my feeble comprehension, but that he
did expect it aud came out there pur
posely to realize his expectations, the
manner in which he mopped his bald
head aud grunted left no margin for
doubt. As he hade me good day and
waddled down the hill to take the next
train cityward I fancied I could detect
phantom sever connections in the
heated atmosphere above his head.
The next train landed half a dozen
cranks, who jostled each other in their
anxiety to reach me. As they wedged
their way through the gate and along
the gravel walk there was lire in their
eyes.
Another tour of inspection and then
the jargon commenced. An old iellow
in glasses expressed his astonishment
of the discovery that tho house wns a
frame and not a brick structuro; a man
who snapped his words with a metallic
rattle was startled because there was
no city water; another, with a blood
red scarf and green shoes (I would not
have had him for a tenant under any
circumstances), mourned the absence
of gas; still another was sorely disap
pointed because there was no street
oar line within easy walking distance.
During that and the succeeding four
days they came out, trotted me
through the inspection racket and
then completed the torment by firing
their alarming discoveries and objec
tions at me.
Summarized, I learned that the
place was decidedly objectionable, be
cause the rent was too high; there
were no speaking tubes in the house;
the oellar was not cemented; the house
had been built to be heated by fur
nace, and was therefore beyond the
reach of thoso of moderate means;
there was not room enough; there was
too muoh room; the rooms were too
large aud would require acres of enr
pet to cover the floors; the grounds
were so extensive that the employment
of a man to care for them would be
necessary; there was no sidewalk;
trains were not sufficiently numerous;
it would all be nics enough for sum
mer, but when winter comes what's a
body to do?—and so forth. Of course
the advertisement expressly described
this as a framo house of nine rooms,
the grounds of about three acres in
extent, the water supply as coming
from a well and cistern, the railway
station as three blocks nway, aud tho
rental as §55 a month. Aud yet scores
of men aud women who were in search
of a brick house of six rooms, with city
water, sewor connections, speaking
tubas, gas and bath, on tho line of a
street railway, came out to inspect my
property and annihilate me with their
ohjections to it. I thought I was a
plain-speaking, plain-writing man. I
am not.
Tho week passed and tho house was
still on my hands. It was Saturday,
and I had reached the conclusion that
I would lock up the place that even
ing, return to my bachelor apartmonts
in the city, and let some agent sell the
property to the first bidder and re
lievo mo from a strain that was fast
putting gray hairs into my head. I had
disposed myself in the rocker on the
veranda when I noticed that tho early
afternoon train deposited three per
sons 011 tho station platform, who im
mediately took the path leading up to
the stretch of grassy hillside and ter
minating at my gate. As they drew
nearer 1 was ablo to distinguish that
one was an elderly gentlemen with
snowy hair and mustache, another a
man in middle life with a sandy beard
and mustache and tho third a lady of
about twenty. They came direct to the
gate, passed through it, and were mov
ing slowly up tho walk when I ad
vanced to meet tkein. Tho young
lady was the spokesman. At least she
opened tho interview by referring to
the advertisement as the moving
cause of their visit. I caunot for the
life of me explaiu why I thought so,
but instantly it fixed itself in my mind
that my tenants stood before me.
I wns just a bit nervous, but I gathered
myself together, and in five minutes'
time we were walking together through
the house and talking pleasantly about
its arrangement, conveniences and such
like, nud then made a tour of the
grounds. When we returned to the
veranda I tendered the rocker to the
young woman, while tho gentlemen—
one, as I learned, her father, the other
her brother—and myself sat on the
steps. There would be no train to
the city for an hour, and we had am
ple time to discuss the object of their
visit and, incidentally, such personal
affairs as are wont to develop under
such circumstances. It was thus that
I learned that the old gentlemen was
a Virginian, upon whom the results of
the war had fallen rather disastrously,
and whoso troubles from this source
had been augmented by the death of
his wife. His son was a member of
one of tho professions and amply
equipped mentally and financially to
provide for the family, while the
daughter, reared in true Virginia fash
ion, was to be housekeeper or general
charge d'affaires. We agreed upon
terms, and it wns arranged that Colonel
Kirby was to assume possession on the
following Monday. I accompanied the
party to the station, gave them a cor
dial goodby (I confess it was a reluc
tant goodby I gave the young lady),
the train sped nway toward the smoke
wreathed spires of the city, and loft
me to my rocker and my reflections.
Bright nud early Monday morning a
procession of vans invaded Clover
syde and while the sturdy help was bus
ily engaged in the work of transferring
the contents to the house the Colonel
and his daughter reaohed the place by
train. An exchange of a few compli
ments pertinent to such an occasion
ensued when I abdicated and left the
quiet country cottage to resume life
in town. At the end of a month I
made my debut as a landlord. There
was a noticeable improvement in the
appearance of the place. The grounds
looked clean, and flower beds at odd
places and bordering the walk, gave
evidence of womanly attention. The
house wore a home-like, hospitable
air, and just where I had left it sat the
old rocker. These things I noticed at
that lirst call, a brief one. Subse
quent visits gave opportunity for
extended observations, which only em
phasized my first impression that a
model housekeeper was directing mat
ters in a certain habitation in Clover
syde. Gradually I became conscious
that a change had taken place in my
self.
Town life was fast losing its attrac
tiveness; my thoughts turned with an
indefinable longing to woods crowning
the uplands through whose leafy
branches the Southern breezes played,
to rivulets springing from groves, play
ing along the slopes awhile, prattling
into groves again and dancing nwny in
the shaded distance. And I philoso
phized, too. No man is a bachelor
from choice. Either his lonely condi
tion is a case of it-might-have-been, or
he has not yet looked into eyes that
have answered his heart. Love is
magnetism. The eyes have it. When
the ordained eyes meet, then and there
the bachelor ceases to exist and one
more township is added to Paradise.
I made this discovery when my eyes
met those of Rhody Kirby, and though
I have looked into those same dear
eyes thousands of times, and though
they have been my inspiration, my
very life, yet to save mo from perdi
tion I cannot describe them. I know
the regal rose, the modest violet the
loyal sunflower, but to attempt a de
scription of either would be a task en
tirely beyond me. And so with Rhody's
eyes. I only know they are the most
beautiful this side the shining stars,
that she herself fills up the gracious
mold of modesty and that I am desper
ately . Rut I anticipate a little.
I developed an extraordinary inter
est in my property in Cloversyde, so
that it was not unusual for me to drive
out there every week. Mypretextwas
that the place needed looking after,
the fences and buildings requiring a
deal of attention to save them from
failing into decay. Miss Rhody was
my companion over the grounds, mak
ing suggestions here and there and
tilling mo with a fear that I should one
day drop dead at her feet from an at
tack of heart palpitation. But all
things must have nil end, and I re
solved tol talk seriously with Rhody
when next I put foot on the place. It
was the first day of Juno aud early
morning. The budding roses were
bathed in dew, the birds twitted tune
fully in the trees, the air was soft and
deliciously fragrant, and Miss Rhody
was as delightfully sweet and captivat
ing as it is given to any mortal to be.
Wo walked about the place, our con
versation confined to matters common
place, and my stay had been prolonged
to a length where I could find no
propriety ill longer detaining her. As
I was about to take my leave I said:
"I am not going to call any more for
the rent." Theie was an enormous
lump in my throat.
"Have you placed tho property in
an agent's hands?" she inquired.
"No, Rho—Miss Kirby."
"Then you have disposed of it?"
"Not exactly; I think I am on the
point of doing so, however."
"We shall feel very grateful," she
said, "if it passes into the possession
of so kindly and considerate an owner
as yourself."
"I am satisfied," I said slowly,
"that the new owner will prove my
superior in that regard. In fact,
Rhody, that person is to bo no other
than your own sweet self. Since I
first saw you every day has increased
my admiration, until I find love takes
the place of admiration. I have dis
covered that it is possible for a woman
to possess sense without vanity, and
beauty without affectation." I had
taken her hand in mine while I spoke.
"May I ask you to take this place and
with it me into your dear keeping for
life?"
She was a sensible woman. Obser
vation had impressed me with that
idea, and my numerous visits con
firmed that impression.
"I cannot pretend to indifference,"
she said, "and therefore own that
what you have told me makes me ex
tremely happy,"
That settled it. I was in an ecstasy
of joy. Did I kiss her? lam n man
given to plain speaking, plain writing.
I did. Could I linve done otherwise?
She said other things; so did I, but
it is not necessary to repeat them here.
She is to-day the owner of the place
in Cloversyde, with all the appurten
ances thereunto belonging, including
myself, and as I sit in the old rocker
on the veranda and write these lines,
I am the happiest man on this whiz

From the Nero Era, Greensburg. Ind.
The St. Paul correspondent for the New
Era recently had an item regarding the case
of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered
, from a serious illness of rheumatism an ( l
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was a very bad case and her
recovery was considered such a surprise to
the neighbors that it created considerable
gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
in the ease, a special reporter was sent to
have a talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not at home, however, being
some distance away. A message was sent
to Mr. Stevens, asking him to write up a
full history of the case, and a few days ago
the following letter was received from Mrs.
Stevens:
"ST. RATM, IND., Jan. 20, 1597.
Editors New Era. Greensburg, Ind.
"DEAR SIRS: Your kind letter received
and I am glad to have the opportunity to
tell you about the sickness and recovery of
Mabel. We don't waul any newspaper no
toriety, but in a case like this whore a few
words of what I have to say may mean re
covery for some child. I feel it my duty to
tell you of her ease.
"two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains in her limbs, princi
pally in her lower limbs. She was going to
school, and had to walk about three quar
ters of a mile each day, going through all
i kinds of weather. She was thirteen years
old and doing so well in her studies that I
disliked to take her from school but we had
to do it.
"For several months she was confined to
the house, and she grew pale and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and
arms were drawn un and tier appearai
was pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her, but it seemed that none of them did
her any good. They advised us to take her
to the springs, but times were so hard wo
could not afford it, although wo finally
managod to got her to the Martinsville
baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker,
and st seemed that she could not stand it.
but sbo became better, and it seemed that
she was being benefited, but she suddenly
grew worse, and we had to bring her home.
"She lingered along, and last winter be
came worse again, ami was afflicted with a
nervous trouble almost like the St. Vitus'
j dance. For some time wc thought she
would die. and the physicians gave her up.
When she was at her worst a neighbor came
I in with n box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
' Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they Were advertised to ba good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that
she thought tiiey might lieip Mabel.
"We tried them. The first box holpod
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When
she had finished a half dozen boxes she was
able to be out and about. She lias taken
about nine boxes altogether now, and she
is as well as ever, and going to school
every day, having started in again three
weeks ago. Her cure was undoubtedly
due to these pills.'

It Stood the Test.
A public writer had a partition wall
fixed up in his study and ordered the
carpenters to make it in such away
that uo sound could penetrate through
it.
"The best thing will be to fill it in
with shavings,*' said me man, and set
to work.
When lie had finished, his employer
went and stood on one side of the parti
tion and called out to the man who was
on the other side:
"Do you hear me, Jantko?"
"No, sir," was the prompt reply.
There i= more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great ninny years doctors
pronounced It a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by consl.intly failing to
euro with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's ('utarrh (hire,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney A- Co.. Toledo,
Ohio, is the onlv constitutional cure on tho
market. It is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoon fill. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any ease
it falls to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address K. I. CHENEY A: Co., Toledo, O.
