From Despair to Gladness.

Mr.. Giles Carter, well-known citizen Of

years my wife has heen troubled with some
thing and we could not Imagine what she
had frequent flashes OF heat, followed by
severe sweats 10th night and day her back
troubled her a great deal, and any exert,on
seemed to utterly PROSTATE her. She drank
large quantities of water, and kept getting
worse and worse all the time. We employ ed
the services Of physician, but without ben
eft, not even learning what was the matter
with her. Finally, noticing a popularity in
her urine, had ltexamin d, and by boiling,
reduced it to molasses. about bali in quantity
to the amount uf water used. at once wrote
to her brother, physician in the East, wht
pronounced it "sugar" Tor saccharne)
diabetes. He said he knew OF no cure Tor IT.
and that she probably could not get well
that che might live for few years, bu'
would get worse and worse all the time.
At this time, and when we were in despair,
saw Warmers Safe Diabetes Cure adver

continued using it until she is now perfectly
cured, and Ms we'll MS she has been III years

A Spanish peasant, living in the sub.
urbs Of Madrid, has long been in the
habit Of repairing daily to the city, &C.
companied by a donkey laden with
milk for distribution among certain
customers. Ooe day, however, the
master was taken ill, whereupon his
wife suggested that the ass be sent
on his customary journey alone. The
panniers were accordingly filled with
cans Of milk as usual, and a bit of pa.
per was attached to the donkey's head
stall. requesting customers to help
Themselves to their ordinary allowance
of milk, and to put back the cans into
the pannier. OF started the DONKEY.
and he returned in due course with the
cans empty and with everything in or.
der. The master found upon inquiry
that the trusty messenger had called at
the right doors without missing one,
and also, that in some instances he had
pulled the bell with his teeth when
kept waiting. From that day forward
the donkey has gone his rounds alone.

What Has Happened Since 1910.

| II is not too much to say that N
great invention which had not its he
ginning in the decade of 1Sf0-1Sjl
has appeared in the past thirty years
In that period occurred the most sig
nal development of the applications o
chemistry to manufactures and agri
culture: an enormous expansion o
commerce by mcaus of railroads and
ocean steamships; the discovery o.
ether, and the perfection and diffusion
| of some of the most precious con
trihutions ever made to the welfare o.
mankind. In 1885 only 'St miles o.
railroad had been complete IN the
| United States; in 1SiD they had beer
nearly trebled (2,SlS3 in 1si5 they hat
been nearly quadrupiod l3,7GSj. II
! 1880 Boston was connected with Wor
cester. aud Baltimore with Washing
ton; from Philadelphia the Traveller
could go no further west by rail than
the Susquehanua ut Columbia. In
1899, Ericsson brought over the pro
peller to these hospItahle shores. liz
1910 the Cunard line of ocean steam
ships was established, but for long
time only "side. wheelers were toll.
Grated. The first regular ship, the
Brittania, reached Boston after trip
of fourteen days and eight hours.
Morse's telegraph, after vain offers on
both sides of the Atlantic, was ut last
subsidized by our own government,
and in 1914 communication was opened
between Baltimore and Washington.
What Lath God wrought signaled
Morse at the capital to Alfred Vail at
Baltimore. The news dispatches to
the press "by electro telegraph or
"by magnetic telegraph were meager,
while public patronage was so timid
that the wits OF the day made fun of "a
delighted father in Baltimore who
wired the news of the birth Of "a
grandson to postoffice official at the
capital as if the mail were too slow"
at twenty miles an hour. In April.
1910, Goodyear was in the debtors
PRISON Ia lodging almost as familiar to
him as his own hOne) in Boston; he
had the year before found the clue to
the vulcanlzing of rubber, but the pro-
cess was not reduced to certainty till
1874. At about the same time, 1916 AZ,
the Mccormick reaper was confirming

by Elias Howe in 1913, was patented in
1o49. but the Importance of this in
vention was not fully realized for m ore
than dozen years afterward. The
daguerreotype dates from 1889. and in
1910 the enterprising Mr.. Plumb be-
gan taking. likenesses in Boston but
with smailasuccess for some months.
Five years later his "galieries " were
to be- found not only in that city, but
in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington. and even Dubuque, Iowa

issued for H .e's ilgntning press. with

Wife VS. Dog.

The hero Of '''Locksley Hail." as
sured his fckle hearted cousin Amy
that her sporting husband would holt
her something higher than his dog
Thomas Bullock, timer. of Wslsall, is
still less cOnrteOus than the Squire in
!" Locksley Hail." He holds his dog
somewhat higher than his wife. When
that lady brought Mr.. Bullock his
breakfast. the dog ran away with the
food. Mrs. Bullock then threatened
ITO give it" mot the breakfsst) to the
dog. Bullock replied, angrily, that in
such a case he would ."give it" to his
wife, sit" obviously standing in the
black country for corporal punish ment.
Soon afterwsrd Mrs. Bullock lifted up
her foot against the dog by way OF
warning. and then Bullock beat her.
He was always beating her for the sake
Of his hound, which caused as much
matrimonial strife as the hot. water bot.
tie in the Palais Royal play. When he
was served with a summons, Bullock
said "he would not have his dog
kicked by any woman" Glove me
love my dog" seems to be his motto,
and he disregsrds his wife's really
touching little exhibition of jealousy
He has been sentenced to three week 9
imprisonment, and will have time tc
reflect on the comparative claims which
= good ratter aud good wife possess
on the affections of q husband and 6

Fun AT HoME.-Dont DO afraid of q
little fun at home, good people. Don't
shut up your house, lest the sun should
fade yoar carpets; and your he arts,
lest q laugh should shake down q few
OF the musty Old cobwebs that are
hanging there. If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
left at the threshold without, when
they come home at night. When ono 9
q home is regarded as only place to
eat, drink and sleep in, the work is be.
gun that ends in gambling-h houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation some.
where; is they do not find it at their
own hearth.stOnes, they will seek it at
other aud less profitable places. There
fore. let the fire burn brightly at night
in winter, and let tho doors and win
dows be cheerfully thrown open, in
summer, and make the homestead de.
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so we'll understand. Don't re-
press tho buoyant spirits of your chill
dren. Half an hour of merriment
within doors, and merriment of q home,
blots out the remembrance of many a
care and annoyance during the day;
and the best safeguard that they car
take with them into the world is the
unseen influence of a bright little home

Morbid Conditions of the Mind.

In certain morbid conditions of mind
and in the cases of the few hep lthy
minds endowed with special imagina
tive force, the products of this mental
activity closely resemble dreams in
their vividuess and apparent actually.
When this is the case, illusions of mem
ory which arise rfcGi this source con-
monty appear only after the lapse oil
some time, when, in the natural course
Of things, the mental images derived
from actual experience would sink to q
certain degree of faintness. Habitual
novel readers often catch themselves
installing the echo OF some passage in
q good story for the trace left by au
actual event. Persons names, striking
sayings, and events themselves, when
first heard or witnessed, may seem fa
miliar to us, and to recall some past
like impression when they happen to
resemble the creations of some favorite
novelist. And SO. too, any recital oil
another's experience. whether oral OF
literary. if it deeply interests us and
awakens specially vivid imagination
of the events. described, may easily
become the starting point of an illusory
recollection. Children are in the habit
Of drinking in" with their vigorous
imaginations what is told them and read
to them, and hence they are especially
likely to fall into this kind OF error
Not only 80; when they grow up and
their early recollections lose their def
niteness, becoming a few fragments
saved from lost past. it must pretty
certainly happen that if any ideas de-
rived from these recitals are preserved
they will simulate the form of mem
cries. The present writer often catches
himself falling for moment into the
illusion of believing that he actually
visited the exhibition of 1851, the rea
son being that he recalls the descrip
tions given to him of it by his friends,
and the excitement attending theil
journey to London on the occasion. -
