The messmate is one that takes his
place at his neighbours table to partake
with him of the product of the days
toll. He does not live directly at the
expense of his host, but, abiding with
him, obtains thereby better opportuni-
ties for securing supply OF food. This
mode Of getting living is very COM
mon, and curious thing about it is that
animals comparatively high in the scale
of organization do not scruple to quarter
themselves upon others of much inferior
grade. The fish, known to naturalists
as freasfer, lives in this relation. He
takes up his lodgings in the digestive
tube of holothurian, and, regardless OF
the rules Of hospitality. appropriates Q
portion of all the food that enters. H.

The successful Physician.

TFrom the st. Louis Globe.l
There is probably no man to whom the COM
munity owe SO much to the honest, far
spoken physician, who does his actual duty both
to hlmself and to his patients. Really skiliful
physicians are not SO numerous that their vlr-
tues need no mention, and hence the adver-
tisement of DR.. r. " Pierce. OF Buffalo, may
well claim the readers attention. Dr. Pierce is
o type of class of men who obtain success by
careful and we'll directed effort, not attempting
too much, or creating false ideas as to ability.
The emily reliable physician in these days OF
complicated disorders and high-pressure living
is the Specialist" the man who understands
his one branch of the business. Such in his
line is DIR. Pierce For the benefit of his read
ers he has written Common Sense Medical
Adviser" which is well worth reading by those
who need such work. With strict business
honor, high professional skill, reasonable fees,
and large corps Of com petent assistants, Dr.
Pierce will doubtless make his name familiar

How to Soothe the Baby.

Because am old and bachelor, it is
a signal for all the mothers to hustle
tEeir babies out of sight the minute L
come in. Old bachelors are so proverbi-
ally stigmatized as baby-haters they
cannot imagine there may be an excep-
ton. Now own to being an exception.
I have handled half a score of nephews
and nieces on my knee, and L could
teach many mother thing or two
about managing them, SO as to secure
peace and comfort for both parties. For
instance, a baby at our house to-day
cried and screamed by the hour. |
heard the mother say that she was awake
all night with 1t because of its crossness;
and day one and another tumbled and
tossed it in order to quiet it, until l was
sure it's poor little sides were sore.
ssNow, Martha Jane" / said, "just
hear to me minute, and throw away
your peppermint and stuff. Undress
that child; it's clothes are all in a bunch
about it. How would you feel with
your clothing in that style2 Then
wiring soft towel out of very warm
water, and wrap it smoothly about it's
whole body just under it's arms. Then
quickly wrap little WOODEN blanket
about that, put on its night9own, and
soothe it minute, and ii will drop into
the sweetest sleep ever baby had"
Martha did not more than half believe
me, but was so worn out that she tried
it. She laid the poor, tired little thing
down on some soft pillows in his little
carriage, after she had packed him, and
in few minutes, by gently rolling him
back and forth, he sunk into peaceful
slumber.
If you'll believe it, that woman only
said In a stage whisper to Amaryllis:
"Who would have expected an old bache-
lor to know so much about babies2"
That's all the thanks / get. But the
baby would thank me if it knew. 1t
was pay enough to see it SO comfortable,
however. This simple treatment will
relieve a suffering child in nine cases
out of ten. Any difficulty of the bowels
or lungs will be the better for a good
warm pack, and it is remedy always al
hand, and one that costs nothing. The
matter of the flannel blanket, however,
! is highly important. So, too, is it ne
cessity that the towel be smoothly rolled
round the body.

Newspaper Veracity.

Some people have an idea that news
papers will lie. Others are so wise that
they will only believe newspaper report
when they think it would be easier for
the paper to tell the truth than to tell
lie. Others think it the evidence OF
flashing wit to reject with 2 derisive
laugh any evidence for authority which
comes from 8" the papers" To such an
extent has this thoughtless judgment of
the press been carried that much of it's
sphere of usefulness has been circum-
scribed. It is true there must be some
occasion for this widespread impression
Sc there must be some fire where there
is so much smoke - yet how many men
can show record for correctness, acu
racy, and truthfulness that will at once
compare with the average newspaper
The editor gathers his news from thous-
and sources, from acquaintances and
strangers, from letters and papers. He
sits and culls, hunts and details, and en-
deavours to get ''the straight - of every
story he publishes, for it goes to the
world over his own name, and he knows
that in great measure he will be held
responsible. The private Individual
hears a piece of gossip, listens carelessly,
tells it to another with equal carelessness,
and if called upon for details In nine
cases out of ten cannot give enough of
them to make an intelligent item for a
paper. 6 Writing makes an exact man, ;"
says Lord Bacon the newspaper verifies
the truth of the statement. Let any one
who doubts this sit down and put on
paper some piece of gossip, with the
purpose of having it printed over his
own name, and he will see in moment
how little he knows about a matter he
thought himself familiar with. And he
will wonder, not that the newspaper
should contain occasional inaccuracies
and misstatements, but that it contains
so few. And his wonder will wonder
fully increase when he remembers that
the editor has to depend for much of
what he publishes on the common run of
mankind. -E1ch0sage

Millions of Pigeons.

A letter from Moscow, Pa, says: A
wilderness known as the Beach woods
covers a large portion of western Pike
comfy and northwestern Monroe coun-
ty. this State. Ike Bennett and Clint
Waters, bark peddlers, were IN the
depths of the woods on Friday last, when
they were startled by sudden darken-
ing of the sky and noise Like heavy
gale of wind. AT the same time the
trees about them began TO fill With wild
pigeons. They came FROM the north
ward, and as far as the men could see IN
that direction the air was black with the
birds. They settled down in the trees
as thick as bees, and In an incredibly
short space of time the woods seemed to
be a living mass of pigeons. They
lighted in the trees In such numbers that
large branches were broken by their
weight. They seemed to take no heed
of the men, and crowded the trees under
which they stood, occupying branches
almost within reach of them. Nearly
half an hour elapsed before they all
found resting places in the woods. Inc
bark peddlers killed hundreds OF them
with clubs. and walked five miles through
the woods without reaching the end OF
the roost. The men say that with one
swoop of a long club they could knock
dozens to the ground, creating only q
temporary panic among the pigeons. and
that only among those directly attacked.
The lumbermen and others, when told
by Bennett and Waters of the wonderful
sight they had seen, organized night
hunt. Dozens of men armed with poles
and guns started for the woods, and
reached there after dark. They carried
torches of pine knots. The pigeons
alarmed by the noise of the guns and the
glaring of the torches, rose from their
perches and flew blindly about. For
two hours the poles and guns made sad
havoc among the roosting birds. The
roar of thousands of wings, the cracking
of branches, flashing torches, swash1ng
poles, and reports of guns, formed a
scene wild and terrible. Thousands OF
pigeons were slaughtered before the law
less and ruthless destroyers were glutted.
Each one brought away as many as he
could carry, which was small portion
compared with the number LETT on the
ground to feed the foxes and wolves.
On Saturday morning another exped1-
ton started out for further slaughter of
the pigeons. The birds had evidently
sought the roost for the purpose OF nest
ing. The woods swarmed with hunters
on Saturday. The great flock finally
rose en- 1nasse, and in short time every
bird had disappeared. The direction OF
the flight was westward toward the Sus-
ouehanna. It is estimated that the flock
was fully twelve miles long and four or
five in width.
