LOYRs YOUNG DREAM.

A bridal couple with more style about them
than grass widow, honorcd the Indiana
House with their presence two or three days
during the past week. They gave the dining
room mighty tony look by marching in at
meal time arrayed in their new clothes, with
white gloves on, and when old man Raymond
first saw them he took one square look and
then set down his coffee pot aud went INFO the
kitchen and laughed until his eyeballs felt
pointed. In that supreme moment he felt
that he was paid ten times over with COM
pound interest for all the trials, vexations and
unpaid board bills encountered in his hotel ex-
periences since he left the old farm.
When the dining room girl got her face
straight enough to get behind the chairs and
say:
"Roast beef roast pork, lamb, chicken or
fish?'
The bridegroom said Chicken and fish,
but the bride, with the characteristic pres
ed, interposed.
ooh, no, ducky dear we can't take any
of that for, don't you know, pidgy widgy,
'twould muss our gloves up? Wen have to
have something we can eat with our knives
and forks" -4st ht
$50 we will, bonny blue eyes--I never
thought of that. What do you say to roast
beef, then, huxy puxy? Can We go some Of

Mr.. r. Shoemaker writes that he has cured
many cases of hydrophobia in men and cattle
by the use of clecampane. The first dose for
man is II ounces of elecampape root br,iis-
ed, put in pint Of new milk and reduced TO
one-half by boiling, to be taken at one dose
in the morning, fasting until afternoon. The
econd dose should be two ounces of elecam-
dose the same as the second, to be taken ev-
cry other day. This remedy, Mr.. shoemak-
er says, has been used in and about Philadel-
phia for over forty years with great success.

STANLEY's EARLY LIFE.-Henry M. STAN
ley for he has good right to call himself, al
though his original name was John Rowland)
was born near Denbigh, in Wales, in 1910,
and Of parentage so lowly that at the age of
three years he was placed in the poor-house
at St. Asaft, where he remained for ten years,
and received an education which gained for
him place as teacher in a school at Mold, in
Flintshre. When fifteen years old he ship
ped as cabin boy on board'a vessel bound for
New Orleans. Here he found employment
with merchant named Stanley, who soon
adopted the lad. But his patron died, leaving
no will. The civil war broke out, and young
Stanley entered the confederate army. He
was taken prisoner, and soon after volunteer
ed in the service of the Union, becoming an
ensign on the ironclad Ticonderoga, After
the close of the war, he entered upon the pro-
fession of journalism, and travelled as news
paper correspondent in Turkey and Asia Min
or, paying visit to his native Wales, and to
the poor-house where his childhood had been
passed, and Of which he entertained CRATE
full recollection. 70 the good education which
he received there, he said that he owed all
that he was, and all that he hoped to be. In
1857 he returned to America, and was sent by
the New York Herald as military cores
pendent with the British army in the Abyssin.

. HEAT rs zrrr- com rs Dn4rn,,.

There Is no greater fallacy than the opinion
held BY man, particularly the young and
strong and vigorous, that Winter--especiall
sharp, frosty one, with plenty Of snow--is
the most healthy season Of the year. Very
few persons seem to realize the fact that cold
is the condition Of death, and that, in both
warm and cold climates, It is our unconscious
effort to maintain our bodily heat at tempe-
rature Of $50 that wears us out To this tenn
perature, called "blood heat every cubic
inch of oxygen that serves TO vitalize our
blood must be raised by our own bodily heat
or life ceases Since in cold weather the
maintenance of a sufficiently elevated bodily
temperature becomes very often difficulty
too great for our strength, the advent of se-
we're winter is really more to be dreaded than
the visitation of pestilence.
The saying, 8 Heat is life--cold is death, .
has striking illustration and confirmation in
the reports now regularly submitted by DIR.
Russell to the Glasgow Sanitary, Committee.
The death rate rises and falls with the regu-
larity of tho thermometer. So many degrees
less heat, SO many more deaths, and oice versa
In recent fortnightly report DIR. Russell
says: The death rate in the first week of
the fortnight was twenty one, in the second
week twenty-five. The mean temperature in
the former week was 1890 Fah, in the lat
ter $685. He attributes the low rate of the
first week to the high mean temperature of
the preceding fortnight, which was 47.3o, and
adds This is good illustration of law
which we frequently observe in these reports
of temperatures and death rates--that week
of low temperature produces rise in MORTAL
ity the week following"
In our climate 1t would probably be difficult
to find more frequent cause of serious all
ments than taking cold. Whatever weak
place we have. whatever constitutional disor-
der we be subject to, cold will surely discover
We take cold because our vitality is too low
to ward off the effects of the reduced temper
allure around us. AS matter of the first
importance, then, to resist cold and the vari-
GUS arrangements of the system consequent,
it is necessary by proper nutrition to main
tain our natural animal heat second to re-
tain this heat by sufficient quantity of
clothing third, to regulate with care the
temperature of the air we breathe. Contrary
to the opinion current among lovers of cold
weather, fire in bedroom in the Winter
is cheaper and better than a doctors bill for,
owing to our inactive condition during sleep,
the eireulation Of the visahziua blood Is both
slow and Imperfect, and hence the danger Of
taking cold by breathing cold air is greatly in
creased.
cold is the beginning of everything that
is bad. If any one conscious of having caught
one feels cold chils creeping up the back, let
him apply mustard plaster to the bottom of
the spine and lower part of the back at once
and by SO doing he may avert dangerous ill
ness before it is too late and medical advice
can be produced. It should never be forgot
ten that " Heat is life cold is death. -Scien-

MEAN As GAR BROTH.
TCarroll Conservative

The deficiency bill passed by the
late Legislature appropriated 5000 to
pay the newspapers throughout the
State for ublishing the delinquent tax
list in tho various parishes last fall
which is about one, half sufficient to
cover the debt ut the me:,ger price they
allow the printer. In looking over the
many appropriations we do not find
anything so miserably mean as their
treatment of printers; for themselves
they provided amply in the way OF
mileage and per diem, no half rations,
no curtailins of any OF their perqui-
sites, no holding back or hesitation
about dipping deep into the State
Treasury for their own account, but
when it came to paying the printers, II
sudden attack of economy and reform
seized them, and they race and cut
down the compensation to starvation
rates and then, only make one-half
the provision necessary to pay even
that.
We have been averse to joining the
crusade against the late Legislature for
reasons that we have assigned, aud
even now we complain with hesitancy
