Not a Niece Barber.

a certain eccentric barber is nobody's
enemy but his own. He drinks like Z
fish, and cOnfesses to periodical DELI
rum tremens. The other day he shaved
a friend of mine. As he finished be
slowing the lather, and took clean
sweep with his razor down my friend S
check and throat, he said: The worst o.
the drink is chat it makes one so jumpy
in the morning. You feels as if you'd
like to cut your own throat, or some one
else's you does" My friend sat still in
horror and wished himself safe out OF
the shop. "Ah, SIR" continued Figaro,
''it's downright pleasure to shave real
flesh and blood like this" and he swept
the other cheek with his instrument,
"what do you ?" exclaimed the
customer in terror, feeling sure that the
arber had homicidel intentions. "Well,
ir, the last job L had afore this was a
stiff 'un ;" and he wiped his razor meth
odically as te spoke. "And is that the
razor you used ?" well, yes it is; you
wants the keenest one you has to shave
a corps. and, excuse me sir, your beard
is stiff, so l keeps my best razor for
YOU" My friend dashed off the nap
kin and bolted for his life out of the
shop. met him with the remains OF
the lather still fresh upon his cheeks.

think Again."

Queen Victoria was not twenty years
of age when she ascended the throne.
Coming into possession of power, with
a heart fresh, tender, and pure, and
with all her instincts inclined to mercy,
we may be sure that she found many
things that tried her strength of resolu-
ton to the utmost. On bright beauti-
full morning the young Queen was wal
ted upon by the Duke of Wellington,
who brought from London various
papers requiring her signature to rem
der them operative. One of them was
a sentence of court-martial, pronounced
against n soldier of the line-that he be
shot dead. The Queen looked upon
the paper, and then looked upon the
wondrous beauties that nature had
spread to her view.
''What has this man done?" she
asked.
The duke looked ut the paper, and re-
piled, "Ah, my royal mistress, that
man, / fear, is incorrigible. lie has
deserted three times.
"And can you not say something in
his behalf, my Lord?"
Wellington shook his head.
"Oh, think again, L pray you."
Seeing that Her Majesty was so deep
Iy moved, and feeling sure she would
not have the man shot in any event, he
finally confessed that the man was a
brave, gallant, and really good sol
dier.
"But," he added, "think Of the in.
fluence ~
"Infiuencer'' cried Victoria, hel
eyes flashing and her bosom heaving
with strong emotion. ''Let it be ours
to WELD influence. 1 will try mercy in
this mans case and | charge you, youl
grace, to let me know the result. A
good soldier. you said. Oh, l THANK
you for that! And you may tell him
that your good words saved him."
Then she took the paper, and wrote
with bcld, firm hand, across the dark
page, the bright, saving worl-'Par-
donedr ~
The Duke was fond of telling the sto-
ry, and he was willing also to confes:
that the giving Of that paper to the
pardoned sol 'ier gave him far more JOY
than he could have experienced from
the taking of city.

A Hint for Bores,

Some time ago, there lived gentle
man of indolent habits in Sussex, who
made it a business in the winter season
TO visit his friends extensively. After
wearing out his welcome in his imme-
diate vicinity, last winter, he thought
he would visit an old Quaker friend,
some twenty miles distant, who had
been an old school-fellOw of his. o
his arrival he was cordially received by
the Quaker, he thinking his visitor had
taken much pains to come so far to see
him. He treated his friend with great
attention and politeness fer several
days, and, as he did not see any signs OF
his leaving, ne became uneasy, but he
bore. it with patience till the morning
of the eighth day when he said tn him
.'My friend I'm afraid. thee will never
visit me again"
''0h, yes, shall, )" said the visitor, 81
have enjoyed my visit very much;
shall certainly come again"
May" said the Qaker, 81 think thee
will never visit me again"
"What makes you think | will never
come again 2" asked vhe visitor.
.'If thee does never leave" said the
Quaker, show canst thee come again %
The visitor left.

The National Scourge.

1t is estimated that the annual dam
ages caused by the ravages of insects
and worms exceed $150, ,000, 900 in the
United States alone. Truly an enor-
nous loss! Yet it sinks into insignif-
canoe when compared with the ravages
of that more terrible scourge, Consump-
ton, which annually sweeps hundreds
of thousands of human souls into eter-
nifty. The causes of consumption are
various, depending in every instance
for the development Of the disease upon
the scrofulous diathesis, or temperament
of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in one person an
attack OF acute disease or a slight ner-
vous prostration, will engender con-
sumption in a person of scrofulous
habit. That consumption can be cured
by proper treatment will be readily
perceived when the exact nature Of the
disease is understood, viz: the accumu-
lation and deposition of scrOfulous mat
ter (tubercles) in the lungs. Obviously
the principal remedies required are Q)
q powerful Alternative, or blood puri-
fer, to arrest the accumulations ana
also cleanse the blood of the scrofulous
matter, and (2) mild csthartic to expel
the diseased matter from the system.
This course of treatment, in conjunc-
ton with q strict hygienic regime, has
proved the most successful method of
curing this disease. DIR. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets are the best Alternative
and cathartic remedies before the public,
and have been alone used in thousands
Of cases of consumption with the most
marked efficacy. DR.. Pierce's lnvalids'
Hotel, at Buffalo, n. Y, affords special
and unequaled advantages to consump-
tives. not only possessing the best med
ical and hygienic means Of treatment,
but having the essential advantage OF
being situated In a climate where the
inhabitants are notably free from this
disease.

Advice to Students.

A medical journal advising students
how to take care of themselves, says
"Sit up to the table when you read
easy chairs abolish memory. Do not
read the same book too long at one sit
ting. If you are really weary of one
subject, change it for another. Read
steadily for five hours a day for hve
days in the week. Tie use of strong
coffee and wet towels betrays ignor-
ance of how to read. Test the accuracy
of your work as soon as you have fin
ished. Put your facts in order as soon as
you have learned them. Never read
after midnight. Do not 60 to bed
straight from your books. Never lei
your reading interfere with exercise
or digestion. Keep clear head, &
good appetite and a cheerful heart"
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1879-01-29
Mental Visions:

Dickens used to say that he some
times heard the characters of his novels
speak to him. A French novelist de-
ciared that while writing the descrip-
ton of the poisoning of one of his char
acters, he had the taste of arsenic as
distinctly in his mouth as if he himself
had been poisoned. Artists sometimes
have this power of making mental
representation seem real; but it Is
dangerous power to use. The mental
vision may haunt the man until he be-
comes insane. DIR. Wigan tells of 4
skillful painter whom he knew who as
sured him that he once painted three
hundred portraits in one year. The
secret of his rapidity and success was,
that he required but one sitting, and
painted with wonderful facility.
"WEen a sitter came" he said. 81

should have done had the sitter been

mary figure and the real person, and

DOMESTIC.

NEARsIGHTEpNEss OF FCHILDREN.-En-
courage the pupil to look OF the book
frequently, to change the focus Of sight
by regarding some sdistant object. 1t
is not enough to look around vaguely
the eye must be directed to something
which must be clearly seen, like pic
ture or motto on the wall, or bit OF
decoration. The greatest damage to
the eye of the pupil is the protracted
effort to focus the printed page. 1t was
simply barbarous the way we used to
be ''whacked" in school, when we
looked of the book. 1t is easy for the
teacher to know the difference between
the resting of the eye and the idle gaz.
ing around that cannot be allowed.
regard this rule as the most important.
and the disregard of it the most prolific
