THE PHILOSOPHERS ANSWERED.

A Frenchman who had won a high
rank among men of science, yet who de-
MED the God who is the author of all sci
ence, was crossing the Great Sahara in
company with an Arab guide. He no.
ticed, with sneer, that at certain times
his guide, whatever obstacles might arise,
put them all aside, and kneeling on the
burning sands, called on his God. Day
after day passed, and still the Arab never
failed; till at last one evening the philoso-
pher, when he rose from his knees, asked
with contemptuous smile, "How do you
know there is God? q The guide fixed
his burning eye on the scoffer for mo
ment in wonder, and then said solemnly,
"How do knoaO there is a God How
did | know that man, and not camel
passed my hut last night in the darkness
was it not by the print of his foot in the
sand! Even so-and he pointed at the
sun, whose last rays were flashing over the
lonely desert-"that footprint is not that
of man."

WHAT IS SALERATUs Wood is burnt
to ashes, ashes are laxiyated, ley is the
result. Ley is evaporated by boiling,
black salts is the residuum. The salt un-
dergoes publication by fire and the pot
ash of commerce is obtained. By another
process, we change potash into pearlash.
Now put these in sacks and place them
over distillery wash-tub, where the fer
mentation evolves carbonic acid gas, and
the pearlash absorbs it and is rendered
solid, the product being heavier, winter
and drier than the pearlash. 1t is now
saleratus. How much salts of ley and
carbonic acid gas human stomach can
bear and remain healthy, is a question for
a saleratus eater. Some people say that
saleratus will not harm the stomach. It's
LEY. -sFi eq.

PHILOSOPHY OF A HEARTY LAUeH.-No
other exercise is equal to laughing. Moth.
ing acts 50 directly and happily upon the
organs with both chest and abdomen
Ten hearty laughs, real shouts, will do
more to advance the general health and
vitality, than an hour spent IN the best at
titudes and motions, if done in sober,
solemn spirit. Of~course you cannot
laugh at will; SO you must play with your
children, introduce a hundred games
which involve competition and fun. Open
the folding doors, move back the centre
table and go it. Play with the bags, run
for the pins, play any of the games which
you can recall from your early experience.
One good laugh is worth more than med
ieine to restore health. Ken.

CANDoR.-There is nothing sheds so
fine light upon the human mind as can
dor. 1t was called whiteness BY the an
clients to denote its purity; and it has al
ways won the esteem due to the most ad-
mirable virtues. The man whose opin-
ions make the deepest impressions upon
his fellow men, whose friendship is IN
stinctively sought when all others have
proved faithless, is not the sum of bril-
liant parts or hattering tongue, or splendid
genius, but he whose lucid candor and IN
genuous truth transmits the hearts real
feelings pure and without refraction.-
There are other qualities which are more
snowy, and other traits that have higher
place in the worlds code of honor, but
none wear better or gather less tarnish by
use or claim deeper homage in that silent
reverence which mind pays to virtue.

GROWING PLUMP.

A lady reader of the Boudoir, New
York, declares that she added greatly to
her plumpness, by taking every morning
for a few weeks the following pleasing
preliminary to breakfast.
Beat up well in tumbler two raw eggs
add a good teaspoonful of sugar, fill the
tumbler with boiling water, sprinkle on top
little grated nutmeg or ginger.
"B. L." further alleges that the admin
istration of this to her lean lady friends
has invariably resulted ina speedy addition
to their weight. % ih seiis' s.Io

To kill cock roaehes-get pair of

To catch mice-on going to bed put

To prevent dogs going mad-cut their

HINTS FOR sINGERs.

A frequent excuse put forth by persons
asked to sing is the declaration that 'they
would be delighted, if they could remem-
Der the words" As words, in the pres
ent style of singing, really matter very lit
tie, we give the following verses as a sam
pie of the kind of thing that may be sung
by people of short memories: p
"Oh, if | had lumty tum lumty tum too,
In the land of the olive and fig,
l would sing of the lumty tum ldmty to

And play on the thingamy jig.

And plant thingumbobs oYermy grave.

A New York Broker infatuated by a
Pretty French Actress,

Considerable scandal has been caused in
New York by the sudden disappearance of a
Wall street broker, Mr.. Charles H. Carr. of
the firm of Carr & Co., with $17 900 in funds
and a well known French actress The pair
are said to have taken passage for Europe in
the Australasian on Wednesday. Mr.. Carr
leaves wife and two children behind him.
The World gives the following account of the
affair
For some time back, it is alleged, that the
broker, referred to, has been on a footing of
intimacy with well-known French actress,
noted for her love of money, jewels, and fine
dress-articles which were procured, as it is
alleged, at the expense of her male friends
The lady in the case is exceedingly beautiful
in person, with the complexion of peach,
and magnificent dark hair and eyes. In prin-
,cipal she is Very mercenary, and it is said, has
amassed large fortune since her advent in
this country from Paris
Several wealthy gentlemen, we'll known in
business circles in this city, have held during
the last two years, the same relations to this
fascinating French damsel as the unfortunate.
broker, now in the tolls of this modern Deli
lab. Every afternoon she was in the habit ol
making her appearance, like another Anoy-
ma Skittles on Broadway, magnifcently at
tended and in handsome equipage, driven by
spirited pair of bays, the gilt of venerable
aud devoted admirer of hers. Her portrait in
low neck dress, with fan and nosegay of
ponderous dimensions, is on exhibition in all
the leading Photographic galleries On Broad
way, and she is universally known to the
hoods who have money to throw away, and
the men about town who prefer to admire
without allowing themselves to be drawn into
the dangerous but fascinating whirlpool
On Friday last this charming young lady
.ott New York for Havre by the steamer Eu-
ropa, with the intention of spending few
months in the French capital, with which she
is perfectly acquainted. II is alleged that
the unfortunate broker had made an appoint
ment to leave in the same steamer with the
fair enchantress, but was prevented by bust
ness engagements from keeping the appoint
ment On Wedne day morning it is stated
on good authority, that he left his office at
l'alf-past nine o'clock, with the remark that
he would be back at half-past eleven.
From the Office he went to the Fourth Ne
tiona Bank, and drew in his own name the
sum of seventeen thousand dollars. He had
the undisputed right to draw the sum men,
toned, being the senior parsaer of the house
in whose name he drew he money He fail
ed7however to keep the appointment at his Of
fee, and at half past eleven he was seen OIL
board of the steamship Australasian, which
sailed for Liverpool at twelve o'clock. One Of
his friends babe him good by, and it is known
that he remained on the steamer with the in
tention of going to Europe.

Death of a Dartmoor Prisoner.

VIM. Hirst, ST., died at his residence, No.
21O Christian street, on the 7th. He was in
the goth year of his age. He served in the
United States navy in the war Of 1872. While
in the U. S. ship Essex he was captured off
Valparaiso and became one of the Dartmoor
prisoners. His funeral will take place on Fri
day afternoon, and will be attended by the
soldiers and seamen of 1912 aud the members
of the Union League. The Essex was the
Alabama" Of the war of 1872. She secured
the Pacifc--uot like pirate as the Alabama
was, but with the results produced by the
Alabama. She cleared out every British
whaler in the South Seas. She was finally cap
tured by a frigate and a heavy brig-of-war in
the harbor Of Valparaiso. Admiral David
Porter, father of the present Admiral, com
manded her. Admiral Farragut was mid
shipman on board, and was captured with
her. The name of the Essex is identified with
the naval history of the Republic.
