ACTIVITY AND HEALTB.--All observa-
tion attests that the healthiest persons In
the world are those most actively employ
ed. The fact Is true with regard to wo-
men as well as men, and in respect to
mental as we'll as physical labor. The
adage, at is better to aoedr out than to
rust out" is true in the ordinary sense in
which it is quoted, but it should also be
remembered that rustiRg out is more
rapid process than gearing out The
ghastly goddess of Ill health and disease
delights in sluggish blood and indolent
muscles.
A MIsER recently died at Lewiston, Me-,
who had for many years denied himself
everything that was not actually indispen-
sable. The administrator found among
his effects an old chest of unplaned wood,
the top of which was held in place by q
couple of wooden pins Removing the
cover, lot of old rags was all that was
visible. Further investigation unearthed
four or five bags full of old Spanish and
English silver dollars, and other coin.
There was also in the box $3.50 in silver,
and $85 in gold, while the estate is valued
at nearly $4,000, besides quite an amount
of notes.
LOUISVILLE has recently had two cases
of "criminal carelessness" of druggists.
In one case a colored barber called for a
certain amount of the aromatic spirits of
ammonia, but was given much stronger
preparation of ammonia, which peeled off
the lining of his throat and swelled up his
tonsils and palate so enormously that he

prescribed extract of stramonium for o
patient afflicted with hemerrhoids. The
drug clerk filed the prescription from a
jar labeled stramonium on the side, the
usual place for labels, and on the bottom
cantharides, which it really contained
The ointment was applied, and of course
produced intense suffering. The sufferer
in the last case has commenced suit foI

A YOUNG lady, the daughter of Mr.
Isaiah Thomas, of New Castle, Delaware
received severe injury in the face about
four years ago, from the effects of which
her lower jaw bone had grown perfectly
solid and immovable. Her front teeth had
been removed to enable her to receive
nourishment, which had to be injected
mostly in liquid state. The inconven
| fence of this arrangement and the total loss
of speech rendered life almost intolerable
and her case was laid before eminent sur
geons of Philadelphia. After mature de
liberation, two of them undertook an op
Grafton which has scarcely a parallel ir
the annals of surgery. The jaw bone wa
sawed off below each socket, kept in mo
ton till healed, aud a new and artificia
joint was the result. 1t is said she cal
now open and shut her mouth as we'll a
ever, and can eat and talk without di Il;

A few years since was exhibited in New
York most marvellous specimen of hand
writing, it being no less than complet
copy of the Holy Bible on surface abou
the size of an ordinary mantel or pier-glasS

arranged and grouped as to form the rep

the same time not one word is omitted, n
sentence transposed, and the severa

At first view the spectator perceives onl
