Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
/ edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with. lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and ne complains ofa prickly sensa-
lion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
Liver to have been extensively de-
ranged.

Bill Arp on Life Insurance.

"Bill Arp" the famous Georgia hu-
morist, has been interviewed" by sever
al life insurance agenls, and favors the
public, in his own lnimitable style, with
his experience:
a friend Il suppose be was friendl

partIklarly. He took me away back and
hauled out sum little thumb papers full
of figures, and said he wanted me to in
sure my life. That skeered me worse
than anything, for it looked like l was
in danger, ami he had just found it out.
| axed him if he thought there would be
fight. He explained things to me, and
felt relieved, and declined to insure fOr
the present. You see l felt nifty well,
and couldn't sec the necessity. AT the
next corner | met another friend, who
seemed glad to SEE me exceedingly. He
held my hand in his several moments.
He axed me if my lite was insured. He
said he was agent for the very best COM
pany in the world. l axed him how
long man would live under his compa-
ny. He then explained to me that man
might die at any time; that they didn't
undertake to keep Il man from dying
So declined, but expressed my gratitude
for his interest in my welfare, and prom
ised to buy u policy as soon as l got right
sick. Just as left him heard him call
some feller burned phool When l got
! to the hotel there was feller waitin' for
me on the same business. He talked to
me for an hour about the uncertainty OF
life and the certainty OF death. Thought,
perhaps, he was n missionary. He seemed
much concerned about my wife and
children, and once or twice wiped his eyes
with a white pocket handkerchief. l
knowed he was friend, and told him l
would reflect seriously about the matter.

"The Most Murderous Machine"

The Gaulois of Paris lately published
o paragraph stating that "The man
who shall invent the most murderous
machine, and the one easiest to use and
handle, shall receive from the French
nation prize of 100000 francs" This
recalls to mind passage in Lord
Buchan's life of Napier, the inventor of
logarithms, born in 1860, died 1911. In
note Lord Buohan quotes from Sir
Thomas Urquhart's Tracts Edinburgh,
l774), who stated that Napier had "an
almost incomprehensible device, which,
being in the mouths of the most of Scot
land, and yet unknown to any that ever
was in the world but himself, deserveth
very we'll to be taken notice of in this
place and it is this-he had the skill, as is
commonly reported, to frame an engine
which, by virtue of some secret springs,
inward resorts, with other implements
and materials for the purpose, inclosed
within the bowels thereof, had the power
(f proportionable in bulk to the action
required of it-for he could make it Of
all sizes) to clear field of four miles
circumference of all the living creatures
exceeding foot in height that should
be found thereon, how near soever they
might be found to one another; by
which means he made it appear that he
was able, with the help of this machine
alone, to kill 10000 Turks with the haz-
ard of one Christian 7"

ton OF great many head OF cattle and
tlocks of sheep. whereof some we're dis

sired by an old acquaintance and pro-
fessed friend of his, even about the time
OF his contracting the disease whereof
he died, and that he would be pleased,
for the honor of his family and his own
everlasting memory to posterity, to re-
veal unto him the manner OF the con-
trivance Of so ingenious q mystery, sub
joing thereto, for the better persuading
him, that it were u thousand pities that
SO excellent an invention should be
buried with him in the grave, and that
after his decease nothing should be
known thereof-his answer was, that for
the ruin and overthrow OF man there
were too many devices already framed,
which if he could make to be fewer he
would with all his might endeavor to
do; and that. therefore, seeing the ma.
lice and rancor rooted in the heart Of
mankind will not suffer them to diminish

California Girls IN Printing Offices.

Previous to the strike among the San
Francisco printers, the female compost
tors OF this city labored under greater
disadvantages than ever embarrassed
their Eastern sisters. They were regard
cd as interlopers by many members OF
the Union, and could gain no foothold
in the larger printing establishments.
The virtual disbandment of the Union
released the women from the ignoble
position they uniustly occupied, and
gave them opportunity to show their
skill in the art typographical. Several
young women accepted positions on the
.uOrning CalL few months since, when
it was impossible to secure enough male
compositors to issue the paper. The fe-
male compositors have proved faithful
and efficient, and the seven now EN-
ployed set type with remarkable rapidi-
ty and precision, considering their linz
it'd experience. The intelligence and
capacity Of California girls is demon
strated again by the success of the Wo-
mems Cooperative Printing Union, No.
424 Montgomery street. AS originally
started, the office did not achieve the
success anticipated by its projectors, and
the first woman who attempted TO su-
perintend it's affairs retired in disgust.
Miss Lizzie G. Richmond next assumed
control of the establishment, and under
her efficient management it is making
excellent progress. The Office is COM
plete in every respect, and turns out job
worl, which will compare favorably with
specimens on exhibition at leading OFF,
ces of the city. The Office gives con-
slant employment to sixteen persons,
ten Of whom are females. If any expert
in the printing business is inclined to
think woman is of little value as q
type-setter," visit to this establish
ment will explode his absurd theory OF
the question. Most of the compositors
are under twenty years of age, we should

Old Judge B, of New Hampshire,
was what Artemus Ward would call a
sociable cuss" off the bench, and was
noted for claiming acquaintance with
any one whose appearance happened
to please him. Entering crowed car
on the Boston and Maine Road one day,
his honor found the only unoccupied
seat to be by the side of a smartly-dress-
cd and rather good-looking woman. AS
certalning that the seat was not en-
gagged, the judge settled himself COM
fortably in it, and turning with his ac-
customed bland, fatherly smile to his
fair companion, said:
"Your face seems familiar TO me, my
dear; think / must know you"
al should think you might" said the
unknown. in hoarse, whisky, contralto
voice, turning vindictive pair of eye:
on the astonished judge. 81 should
thing you might; you sent me TO the
House of Correction for three months
last winter, you internal old scoundrel.'
The judge did not press his claim fol
acquaintance any further in that quar-
] ter.

WEIGHING HIMsELF.-A tipsy man in
Virginia City, Nevada, stopped at a pair
of scales on the sidewalk and began
weighing himself. A man behind him
slyly placed his foot upon the platform,
gently and gradually pressing it down.
The man on the scales tried notch after
notch, seeming greatly astonished that
lie was growing so heavy. He at last
got up to two hundred pounds, and the
beam was still up.
He looked about for more weights,
but not finding any began weighing
again, and this time found himself
rapidly falling away. Down he went
until he only weighed l35 pounds, when
he cursed the scale and the man who
would weigh goods upon it. Said he;
"Now, ye might startin to weigh
barrel of whiskey ON them things. an
by the time you got through you
wouldn't have nothin' but the bung'
hole"
