KnowIedse Is Powcr.

This is a nation Of enlightened freemen. Ed
ueation is the cornerstone and foundation OF
our government The people are free to think
and act for themselves, and that they may act
wisely il is necessary that they be well in
formed Every individual gain increases pED-
lie gain. Upon the health of the people is
uss ed the prosperity of a nation, by it every
value is increased, every joy enhanced. Health
is essential to the accomplishment Of every
purpose, while sickness thwarts the best in
fenfions and Hottest aims. Unto us are COM
mitted important health trusts, which we hold,
not merely in our own behalf but for the bene-
lit of Others In order that we may be able to
discharge the obligation of our trusteeship and
thus prove worthy of our generous commits
sion, il is necessary that we study the art OF
preserving health and prolonging life. II IS
Of paramount importance to every person not
only to understand the means for the preser-
walton of health, but also to know what RENE
dies should be employed for the alienation OF
the common ailments of life. Not that we
would advise every man. under all circum-
stances, TO attempt to be his Own ply
sician but we entreat him TO
acquire sufficient knowledge Of his sys-
tenn and the laws that govern it that he may
be prepared to take care of himself properly,
and thereby prevent sickness and prolong life.
In no text book viii the people find the sub
jects Of physiology and hygiene, or the science
Of life and the art of preserving health more
scientifically discussed or more plainly taught
than in The Peoples Common Sense Medical

once visited. Upon opening the door a
painful scene was revealed. The body of
the stockbroker was stretched upon the
bed; the windows were fastened, and all
interstices carefully covered up with
strips of paper, while the fireplace too
was made alright. Charcoal had clearly
been chosen as the means of death. But
that the horrid step had been taken dur
ing the full possession of reason seemed
too evident, for the cage of a favorite par
rot had been hung outside the window, to
save the bird from an untimely death.
An empty punch-bowl was by the bed
side, and a heap of charcoal lay upon the
floor
But wonder upon wonder! As the
party entered the body moved; it rubbed
its eyes; it sat up. The porter's wife al
most tainted with fear. All, however,
were presently much relieved to find that
the stockbroker, having got everything
ready for execution, had drunk off the
punch, and before putting light TO the
charcoal had ST. ccombed to a dead sleep,
and so escaped the sleep of death.

Peculiarities Of London Cats.

From the London Examiner.
Victor Hugo says that Paris has her
child, the gamin, as the forest has its
bird he might have added, as London
has her cat 1t cannot be disputed that
the London cat is a species apart. Take,
for instance, his cynical indifference to
broken bottles. The feline community
all over the world like to lie softly, and
are sensitive upon the subject of moisture
but now, watch the London cat streatched
at his ease upon couch of jagged glass,
blinking forth upon life through pouring
November rain; his whiskers are drenched
and dropping, his fur resembles the hat
of the typical Leicester Square foreigner;
but " the mind is its own place." for his
part he is free and happy.
His PASSIONATE love of independence
and his rejection of fixed place of abode
supposed to be the dearest desire of his
race) are further proofs of his originality.
Attempts have been made to reclaim him
and bring him within the pale of
civilized society. In consideration of a
little housing an assured home has often
been offered him, but always he has resist
ed such overtures. We have in mind a cat
of an imposing presence whose black coat
though dingy and lustreless from exposure
and poor diet, was unspecked with any
tuft of whiteness, and lent him so much
dignity that he went by the name of the
Black Prince. He was an inhabitant of
London, and could not otherwise have
specified his abode; but every day at
2 o'clock precisely, when the bell rang
for the children's dinner, he presented
himself at certain house, and waited on
the window-ledge of the parlor until his
wants were attended to.
Although nothing could be more de
corous than his own behavior, he was pro-
nounced by the governess to be corrupt
er of the children's manners, and to dis
turb that silence and absorption in their
meals to which well-bred young English
folks should be trained. Accordingly,
various discouraging devices were at
tempted to induce him to renounce his
visits. A bucket of cold water was poured
over him; on another occasion the house
maid assailed him with the broom; on a
third, he was taken by member of the
family five miles in an omnibus, and then
dropped by the wayside; finally he was
given over to the butchers boy, who was
bribed to make away with him. But even
this last attempt failed.
On the following day as the dinner bell
rang, precisely at 2 o'clock Black Prince
reappeared at his post. At length this
persistence softened all hearts; it was de-
cided that, since he refused to be removed
off the face of the earth, his reformation
should be attempted. The window was
thrown open, he was taken in, well fed,
washed and decorated with blue velvet
collar, finally put to sleep in basket
filled with new hay in the back kitchen.
The next morning he had disappeared.
The dinner bell rang at 2 o'clock, but the
parlor window ledge was deserted.
Where cold water, the housemaid's
broom, and even the butchers boy had
failed, this last cruel kindness proved eff
fectual-the children saw Black Princes
face no more.

the use of the window. The sash opens
and shuts as usual
Il see that it does" with glance at
Bertha.
"Oh.n went on Mr. Lang, and here is
my subject. 1t is. the hour for the reception
of the blue ray. You observe that she
has healthy color enough now. Entire
IN the result of blue glass, Sir. She was
pallid to remarkable degree when she
began
There was certainly no lack of color to
complain of in the flushed dimpling
cheeks which were trying so hard to re-
strain a smile. Fortunately Mr.. Lang
was too much occupied to observe this
unseemly levity. He busted himself with
the blue pane. Gordon preserved an air
of profound scientific interest Presently
he took his leave, with permission to re-
turn for farther light on the theory.
In this inch-giving, ell-yielding world,
the first step is truly the one which wins.
1t proved so in this case Gordon Gray
was not forced TO take his bride through
the window. She came TO him through
the door, some months later, in broad
daylight, with her uncle's consent, given
with a certain inadvertance as from
mind occupied with higher themes, but
still consent.
Whether it would have been so easily
accorded had not the opportune and en-
crossing discovery of the telephone oc-
CURED just then, we need not inquire.
Bertha has blossomed like a rose in the
full radiance of married happiness. She
needs no blue glass now; but for old times
sake, Gordon has had one little pane in
serted in that window of her boudoir
where she is wont TO sit and watch for his
home coming at sunset. Bertha pro-
posed instead an mathematical design,
with the legend, Love laughs at medi-
cine" but Gordon was firm, and there to
this day shines the plain blue pane TO
witness to the truth of this story.

The Ten Hunchbacks.

The particulars of a disgraceful hoax
perpetrated the other day at Alencon,
France, are given by local paper. A
young clerk in a nOtary's Office in that
town took it into his head to send letter
to ten hunchbacks in various parts of the
country, whose addresses he had obtained,
requesting them to attend on certain
day at the Office of his employer for the
purpose of receiving a communication of
great importance to themselves. At the
hour named, when the first hunchback
made his appearance, the head of the
firm happened to be engaged, and he
was asked to take seat for few min
ties. The other hunchbacks summoned
then began to arrive in rapid succession.
A second soon entered, followed by a
third and a fourth. The astonished
clerks could hardly keep their counter
ances as the four hunchbacks glanced at
each other suspiciously out of the corners
of their eyes, and when an avalanche of
six more hunchbacks descended on the
Office in a body the effect was overpower-
ing. The clerks could no longer pre-
serve their gravity, and even the chief
clerk himself was quite unable TO control
his emotion. The only serious persons in
the Office were the ten hunchbaclIs, who,
seeing that there was a mystifcation, I"
lost their tempers, and in stentorian voices
gave vent to their irritation. In the
meantime the notary, alarmed by the I'M
usual noise, rushed into the room, and
was thunderstruck at finding ten infuri-
ated hunchbacks gesticulating and gab-
bling at the top of their voices, while the
clerks were absolutely convulsed with
laughter. Peace being with difficulty re-
stored, the hunchbacks showed the let
tiers they had received requesting their
presence at the Office. The notary, with
many apologies, informed them that they
had been made the victims of an i'll
timed pleasantly, and that the culprit,
when discovered, would assuredIy be dis
missed. By latest accounts, however, he
had not been detected, although the
chief clerk "has his suspicious

An Incomplete Tragedy.
From the London Examiner.

From the London Examiner.
A curious case of attempted suicide is
recorded in Paris. A certain gentleman,
employed upon the Bourse, was observed
to grow gloomy and morose in his man
ner, which was ordinarily gay. His hab-
its too, which were active and regular,
underwent change, and for two days it
was noticed that he did not leave his
apartment. This gave rise TO some anxi-
ETY. among he occupants of the house.
Nor was it lesSoned when one of his
friends called, bringing with him letter
he had just received, in which the unhap-
py stock-broker had conveyed his inten-
ton of putting an end to his life.
A policeman was Immediately sent for,
snd the stockholders apartment was at

land windmills have arms of enormous
length, and carry three thousand yards of
canvas. American windmills have arms
of only ordinary size, but when they are
sent to Congress they can stand up and

sails to the rising gale in Holland.

THE WAsHERWOMAN,s SONG.
In the very humble cot,

In the very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap
Worked a woman full Of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In sort Of undert0ne,
With Saviour for a friend,
He viii keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along
] heard the semi-solg,
And / often used to smile,
More in sympathy than in guile,
But never said a word,
In regard TO what heard;
As she sung about her Friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glce
Working all day long was she.
As her children, three or four,
PLAYED around her on the floor,
But in mOnOtOnes the song
She was hummfng all day long,
with a Saviour for a friend,
He win keep me TO the end"
It's som: do not sing
For / sea re believe a thing
OF the stories that are told
OF the miracles of old;
But / know that her belief
Is the anOdyne Of grief,
And viii always be friend
That will keep her 10 the cnd.
Just a trifie lonesome she.
Just as poor a poor could be,
But her-spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone;
OF Saviour and friend
Who would keep her to The end.
I have seen her rub and rub,
On the washbOard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled in the duds,
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spOOls,
She still humming Of her Friend
Who would keep her TO the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root I'm human needs,
And / would not wish 10 strip
From that washerwOman's lip
ANY song that she can sing,
ANY hope that songs can bring.
For the woman has a Friend
That will keep her To the end.
