Joe Howard on Rum.

Philadelphia Times: Not an hour
ago l met one of the brightest men
on the metropolitan press. Twenty
years ago he was .facile princeps.
Ten years ago he was the managing
editor Of a great daily. Tonight
he begged a drink from me, and
when / rendered him dollar he
thanked me with tears in his eyes.
Make no mistake about this man.
He's on tare now, but in less than
ten days he'll be making his $3.50 a
week as easy as rolling off a log.
Rum gets us all. The bane of New
York life is whisky: They all drink
it. Actors, managers, critics, dry
goods men and everybody else are
slaves to drink. 1t is the curse of
the age in which we live. A gener
alton of bright fellows" die out
every five years. If our clergy
would bother their heads about this
plague of our city half as much as
they do about the second coming of
Christ it would be jolly good idea,
and if Christ should chance to drop
in all of sudden He would perhaps
be quite as well pleased as if His
followers were found on their knees
in prayer.

Influence of Food.

An excellent hint is given In the
following item: DR.. Hall relates
the case of man who was cured OF
his billiousnesss by going without
his supper and drinking freely oil
lemonade. The next morning this
patient arose with a wonderful sense
of rest and refreshment, and feeling
as though his blood had been liter
ally washed, cleansed and cooled by
the lemonade and fast. His theory
is that food can be used as a remedy
for manydiseases successfully. AS an
example, hecures splitting of blood by
salt; epilepsy, by watermelons; kid
ney affections, by celery; poison, by
olive or sweet oil; erysipelas, by
pounded cranberries applied to the
part affected; hydrophobia, by on
ions, &c. So the way to keep in
good health is really to know what
to eat and to know what medicines
to take.

IT'S Sweet ito Love, but oh!
How Bitter

Their acquaintance became auspi-
ciously, beautiful, amiable and interest
ing. Her loneliness excited the admi-
ration of all who knew her, and it is not
strange that after few meetings the
Aurora of love irradiated his skies, and
he wandered in blisSful dream Of hsp-
piness. His weoing progressed favora-
bly,, and might have terminated success
fully, had he not told his love in a
voice which sent shudder through her
frame, and produced feeling OF revul-
sion fatal to his hopes. He should not
have appeared ia the refined presence
of his lady love when laboring under
the disadvantage of bad cold, when he
could have rid himself OF It so easily by

Of Tar, never falling remedy for

Twice already had the marriage
of a young doctor and rich belle
of Mount Sterling, Ill, been post

for grand wedding party last week.
The feast was set. the guests were
met, but no bridegroom was there.
The young lady went out to seek
him, and found him in his room,
dead drunk. Going to the railroad
station she took the first train that
passed, gave the conductor a ring

by her father and the sober and re-

While rambling through Central Park
Themoon was brightly shining,
spied maid with an burn hair
On a rustic seat reclining.
She was little beauty,
So sylph like and so fair,
With ruby lips and pearly teeth
And q mass of wavy hair.
CHORUS:
This lovely maid so pretty,
So happy, light and gay,
Stole my heart when first we met,
Twas ut the close Of day.
Ipolitely tipped my hat,
And said good evening, miss;
When a smile o'erspread her face,
Which filled my heart with bliss.

lin, whose portraits of Indian
Chiefs use to adorn the Smithsoni-
an Institute at Washington. Mr.
Catlin, portrait painter. was
brought very low from bleeding at
the lungs, and as a last resort he
went far west of the Mississippi and
lived among the wild Indians. He
noticed their freedom from pulmo-
nary and malarial diseases. He no
ticed also that they breathed inva-
riably through their nostrils, and,
indeed, rarely opened their mouths.
He learned that this was taught
them from their earliest infancy,
the mother watching her sleeping
babe. and COMPRISING its lips as
often as they are opened.
After a long, arduous struggle he
managed to do this himself. His
lung troubles at once began to dis
appear, and he dwelt amid malari-
al marshes, both in North and South
America, with impunity. On his
voyage home from the latter he
pointed out to fellow passenger
those who habitually breathed
through the mouth. The yellow
fever broke out on this vessel, and
all who did this, died.

Importance to attach TO this, but as

slowly but surely yielding the field

praise of the decent newspaper it

THE RUSTIC BEAUTY.

Or the Citizen
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1878-07-17
New York Tribune.

A pair of twins are now on exhibition
ut the Aquarium, and are attracting
much attention from physicians and
others. The two children are girls, and
were born on December %, 1877, at
San Benoit, a town about forty miles
north of Montreal, Canada. From their
heads to the first lumbar vertebra the
children are possessed of perfectly form
ed and entirely distinct members, but
below that point the bodies become
one. There is not the slightest deform-
ity about any Of their organs. They
have two distinct sets of internal organs
and four arms, but only one abdomen
and two legs. Each child controls one
set of organs but only one leg. Piercing
one leg with pin will produce signs Of
pain in the face Of one child, while the
other will be entirely free from any
sensation. They do not act in unison.
While one laughs and plays the other
sleeps or cries for hunger. Sometimes
they both sleep together, and when
both are awake they have the greatest
desire to play with each others hands.
The features are very regular, and the
face Of each child is very pretty for
child only 7 months old The limbs
are rs large as those of an ordinary
child. Where the two bodies grow in
to one the bulk is not increased, but
gradually decreases to the usual size.
They were exhibited to number Of
physicians on Saturday, who pronounc-
ed the pair to be one of the greatest
freaks Of nature they had ever seen.
They thought the two bodies were
merged into one most naturally, and
believed the children would live to the
average age. The children have been
named Rose and Marie.
The parents are Sim and Anne
Drouin, who were born in Marseiles,
France. Their grand parents are still
living there. A few years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Drouin emigrated to San Benoit
and engaged in farming. They are
both 2G years old, the husband being
four days older than his wife. They
have only one other child, girl who is
9 Yeas old, and who enjoys the best Of
health and suffers from no deformity.
The father is tall and stout. He weighs
$50 pounds, is six feet high, and has the
appearance Of farmer. The mother
is short and stout, and weighs about 80
pounds less than her husband. Both
parents are Of dark complexion, They
speak no English. One child looks very
much like It's mother, while the other
bears a striking resemblance to the
father.
