A Practical Joke.

A Swiss court has had before it a case
originating from practical joke of an
equally daring and ridiculous nature. A
sapper, with bushy beard, who was re-
turning to his native village from his
military duty, stayed night in the chief
town of the Canton. He was found drunk
in ditch on the road side. Two wags
passing by, according to the Swiss Times,
took the drunken man first to the house
of one of them, who owned an old monks
cowl and tonsure, shaved all the hair of
his face, and dressed him in the habit of
monk. They then took him to the
nearest convent, and said they had found
him lying drunk on the roadside, and had
brought him there in order to avoid the
scandal which might ensue if he were
found outside. On awakening, the sap
per was not little astonished to find
himself in the cell of convent, with a
monks cowl on; and that he had no hair
left on his face or on the crown of his
head. To his protestations, the fathers
replied that he must be still laboring un-
der the effects of drink, and advised him
to go to sleep once more. At length they
consented to send for the priest of the
parish where he resided, in order 20 clear
up the mystery. On the priest arriving,
he recognized in the pseudo monk his
parishioner, whereupOn he was permitted
to depart. Means were found to discover
the two wags, and the sapper, thus ex-
temporized into monk, as well as the
brotherhood who were so fooled, intend
to bring an action against them. AS in re-
ligious matters the Canton of Friburg is
very strict, and is not likely to see the
point of the joke, the two wags will prob
ably get the worst of it.

in the last report of the American
Pathological Society, an Iowa orchardisl
communicates the fact that he has been
engaged for twenty-five years in growing
pears, and has lost in that time by blight
fifty times as many as he now has grow
ing. In 1864 he ceased to cultivate hi!
trees, and allowed them to grow to grass,
which he kept down by cutting every
few weeks; and to keep the sod open he
spread barrow.load of manure around
each tree In autumn. Since that date
eight years ago, he has not lost tree,

GROWTH OF DISEASE AND CIVILIZATION.
The attention of learned men has been
frequently called Of late to the appear
unce of diseases unknown or very un-
common some years ago. There is,
moreover, a rapid increase of some dis
orders common at all times. Thus, in.
sanity is increasing in Great Britain at a
much greater rate than the population.
In 1859 there were classed as insane in
England and Wales 37,762, while upon
the lst of January, 1872, there were 5S,-
GAO, an increase of over 55 per cent. in
IL years. In 1859 there were 1856 luna
tics to every 1901 persons, while now
there are 249 in the same number. And
all this is true in the face of the fact that
great attention has been paid to the
treatment of the insane within few
Years. Disease OF the heart is also rap
idly increasing IN the male sex. Within
~ years the number of deaths among
men between the ages of 20 and 45 (the
working years of man S life) have nearly
doubled, while there has been hardly
any increase in the mortality of women
by the same disease. The result is due
to the feverish excitement of modern
life, which naturally exhausts the vital
powers OF men engaged in the competi-
tlon OF business or the general strife for
position and wealth. Neuralgia, one of
the most common of diseases now, was
WAS hardly known century since, and
sottenlng of the brain is said hardly
ever TO have been thought of. 1t is but
little while since some startling statis-
tics in reference to the growing preva-
lence OF Bright's disease IN this country
were published. The reader VIII observe
that most Of ties 3, disorders arise from
trouble with the brain, the heart or the
nervous system. In searching for the
causes the student is led to the special
features OF oar modern life. He finds
in the increase of comforts, sanitary i'm
provenents, advance of med cal science,
etc, the explanation of the decrease Of
moriait5'. Bat the growth of luxury,
lack OF open-ar exercise, irregularity OF
living, pressure Of business and over
WORK account for tile exhaustion of men

FIDELITY. - Never tursake friend.
When enemies gather around. when sick.
ness falls on the heart, when the world
IS dark and cheerless, is the time to try
true friendship. The heart that hus
been touched will redouble its efforts
when the friend is sad orin trouble. Ad-
j vers,ty tries true friendship. They who
turn from the scenesof distress b bstray
their hypocrisy, and prove that interest
only moves them. Ii you have friend
who loves you, who has studied your iu.
tefest and happiness, be sure to sustain
,,lm in adyersity. Let him feel that his
,rmer kindness is appreciated, and that
his love was not thrown away. Real
Il lelity may be rare, but it exists in the
Ia art. Who has not seen and felt its
power2 They only deny it's worth and
power who have never either loved
friend or labored to make him happy.
Tue good and the kind, the affectionate
and the virtuous, see and feel the
heavenly principle. They would sacri-
tice wealth and happiness to promote the
happiness of others, and, in return, they
receive the reward of their love by sym-
pathising hearts and countless favors,
when they have been brought low by
distress aud adversity.

There can be no necessity, at this late day,
for the press ospeak in commendatory terms
Of this remarkable medicine, in order to pro-
mote its sale; for it is medicine that is
known and appreciated the wide world
through. Whenever we speak of the Pain
Killer, as in the present instance, we do so
in behalf of the afflicted, rather than with
the view of advancing the interests of its
proprietors. For various diseases, such as
Rheumatism, cholera, cholera-morbus,
burns, sprains, bruises, and SO on to the end
of the catalogue, we are convinced that there
is no remedy before the people equal to
Davis's Vegetable Pain-Killer," and we
know that thousands upon thousands enter
tain the same belief. Certainly, we cannot
refer to the history of any medicine which
equals that of the Pain-Kille 1t was in
troduced in 1910, and from that time to this
its sale, both at home and abroad, has con-
stantly and rapidly increased, and we re-
joice at the high reputation it has achieved,
because this reputation shows that it has
been the means of relieving vast amount
of human suffering. We hope the present
proprietors of Davis's Vegetable "Pain-
Killer" will long live to enjoy the prosperity
which they have so fairly won.-[Com.

T. Buchanan Read,

The death of T. Buchanan Read is
announced. The public had already
been prepared for the intelligence by
the report of his severe illness In his
death the world loses poet and artist
of more than ordinary genius. Drift
ing" and "Sheridan's Ride" are lyrics
which will take rank among the classics
which live from age to age, always fresh
and charming. Mr.. Read was one of
the few American painters to win Eu-
ropean fame. At Rome, where the last
Few years of his life were spent, he was
acknowledged as peer of the best
artists of that art center. He was quite
uneven with his brush, as with his pen,
and many of his pictures are mere daubs,
notably his huge canvas portrayal of
"Sheridan's Ride;' but his best crea-
tons are worthy the great masters.
Cincinnati was for many years Mr..
Reads home, and that city takes a just
pride in his fame. For long time Mr..
Read was quite dissipated, but of late
years his habits have been good, and
until within few days his friends have
been confident that his best days were
yet to come. Perhaps they were right.
From sketch of Mr.. Reads life, pub
ished recently, we extract the follow
ing details:
T. Buchanan Read was born in Ches-
ter county, Pa, March II, 1922. At the
age of seventeen he went to Cincinnati,
and entered sculptor's studio, but
gave it up and studied painting. In
1841 he removed to New York, and
shortly afterward to Boston, where he
was chiefly engaged in portrait paint
ing. He established himself in Phila-
delphia in 1915; visited Europe in 1850;
returned to Cincinnati, and again went
to Europe in 1853. After a long resi-
dence there, he returned to Cincinnati
in 1858. His first volume of poems were
