At a Loss for a Word.

Many persons in perfect health are often at loss for a word, but in the diseases of old age this is very common {; although it frequently happens that the
 first letters of words are. often reoollect- ed. A farmer fifty years old had stroke of paralysis, resulting in a painful hesi- tation of speech, which, however, was confined only to nouns and prope
 names. He could, moreover, recollect the first letter of every word he wanted to use, but could not recall the word itself. So he made list of words he was most in the habit of using, and put them down on a paper in alphabetical order, including the names of his fami- ly, his servants and acquaintances. This he kept conveniently in his pocket. If he wished to ask anything about COW, he would turn to the letter 0, and find ing the word "cow" would keep his finger upon it until he had finished his sen. tence and introduced the word. So long as he had his eyes fixed upon his written letters he could pronounce the word "cow' at the proper place, but the mo
 ment he shut his book it passed out ot h1s memory and could not be recalled
 although he still recollected the initia and could get at the word by turning to his book. Although he could not recol lect his own name or those of his ac quaintances, he never was at loss fol the ini tial of the word he wished to use

At the Flow.

Old Parson s. of Connecticut was Q particular kind of person. One day he had man blowing in his field, and he went out to sec how the work was get ting on. Tho ground was very stony, and every time the blow struck stone the man took occasion to swear 0 little. "Look here," cried Parson S., "you must not swear that way in my field. y "Well, I reckon you'd swear, too," said the man, Eff you had to blow such a stony field as this." "Not a bit of it, " said MT. s. "Just let mo show you! So the parson took hold of the blow, but he very soon had considerable trouble with the stones. As stone after stone caught the plowshare, MT. $. ejaculated: "Well, I never saw the like!' And this he repeated every time 0 stone stopped his onward way. A soon as he had plowed around once, h' stopped and said to tho man: "There now! You see can blow without swoar ing" "But guess it's pretty near a' bad to Ie," answered the man, "ant you told dozens of lies. Every time th' plow struck stone you said, T neve, saw the like,' when the same thing haI pened minute before !"

The Home Circle.

"No man has right to be bear in in his family" said Rev. Dr. Talmage to the Tabernacle congregation Sunday morning. "Neither should 8 woman be cross and fretful in the home circle. If we would make home happy we must strive to be cheerful and kindhearted. What makes home? Not costly furni- ture, nor elegant pictures and bric-a- brac. Not handsome house and ex- pensive luxuries. No, Indeed II is 8 resolution on the part of both parents and children to treat each other with forbearance, and to govern their acts by the golden rule of doing unto others as they would have others do unto them. A mutual interest in each others well fare, with careful avoidance of all bickerings, make the humblest dwelling miniature heaven upon earth.
 "No father or mother has right to strike child in anger. Never say to your boy or girl, You are the worst child ever knew.' There are probably thousands of children in the land who have worse tempers and are more will full than your offspring. A kind word of reproof is better than Q scolding my day. Many Q home," Dr. Talmage added, "is made miserable because the father and mother have not the patience to endure financial reverses. A man loses money, and forthwith curses God for sending him ill-luck. He forgets that it is the Devil, and not God, who is the author of evil. Instead of putting on a cheerful face and making the best | of adverse circumstances, he is cross and fretful to his wife and children. I would say to such man: Don't waste time in vain regrets. Be up and doing, with a heart for any fate. Perhaps your seeming misfortune will result to your benefit in the end.'
 "What shall say to the wife who frets because her husband has lost his money Shall she allow her temper to become soured because her husband is unable tc longer provide for her the luxuries tc which she has been accustomed? No let her rather meet misfortune with { brave and cheerful heart. Let her aic and encourage her husband by every word and deed. Cheerful hearts ant willing hands can do wonders. The family circle should be reflex O. Heaven. Let us try to make our homes types of the Eden that will be eterna
 with God"

The First Railroad.

Of objections made to steam railway lines Imaginable stories are told. On one occasion George Stephenson when conducting railway survey, was seized by mob, who threatened to duck him in pond; and large landed proprie- tor threatened to shoot him if he dared to attempt to make survey through this magnates possessions. Stephenson was admonished by his own counsel that if he persisted in claiming that the peo- pie could trave. on steam railway trains at tho rate of twenty miles an hour he would be regarded as Q lunatic. High journalistic authorities declared that it was the duty of Parliament, even if rail- way schemes were authorized, to prohib- it trains from running more rapidly than nine or ten miles an hour. In addition to such allegations it was seriously con- tended by members of Parliament and English newspapers that, if locomotives were permitted to traverse the country, making alarming noises and distributing vast quantities of smoke, the air would be vitiated, the birds killed, the COWS frightened to such an extent that they would cease to give milk, and that many farm products would be unmarketable
 and that, as Hlere would be no use fol horses, the equine race would be exter
 minated. The idea of using steam-pow
 CT as successful motor was declared tc be a fanciful delusion, which would bring ruin upon all who incurred large expenditures for the purpose of trying such, hazardous experiment. These antagonisms had so much effect that, il one of the agitations before Parliament railway bill was defeated in conse quence of the attacks of its adversaries after p discussion extending over thirty
 seven days. -.-.-- ---.

Poisoned Atmosphere,

And poisoned water, having lost their purity
 and become contaminated with the rank effiuvium and noxious soluble products of
 decaying vegetation, breed not only malaria in its various forms, but give rise to disorders of dangerous character. No antidote to malarial poison has yet been discovered which has so signally demonstrated its remedial value as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which breaks up bilious remittents and prevents the first attacks, or a recurrence of these and kindred malarial disorders. AS stomachic and general tonic, as a recuperant of vital energy, and as restora- tive of bilious regularity, active secretion, ana healthy habit of body, this preparation is un- rivalled. Throughout those portions of the United States and in tropical countries where such disorders are prevalent, it is regarded as standard anti-malarial specific,

The Children of the Period.

Dr. Prime is thoroughly disgusted with the children of the period. During his recent summer travel, as he takes pains to inform the readers of the O6- server, they have forced themselves upon his attention. At one of the largest hotels where he passed Sunday the children ruled the house. They rioted, without interference on the part of their parents, so as to make Q bedlam of the house, and Sunday was turned into half Q dozen Fourths of July. In the even- ing, when the guests had met in the par Tor. sixteen boys and girls, from six to twelve years of age, rushed in and cleared the room of all quietly disposed people almost as soon as somany Comanche In dians could have done it. Their bolster ous romping made conversation inn practicable, and the parlor was speedily deserted. Dr. Prime demonstrated with the landlord and received this reply {: "The parents teach them to be saucy and rude and,profane. Ispoke to child four years old in the presence of it's mother, reproving him for misconduct, and, to my horror, the little rascal turned and swore at me His mother laughed, and said, How funny!' It is an. every day matter for the children to tell me 'to go to - a place not to be mentioned, and their mothers seem to think it very smart for their children to use such words and have such manners" In an other hotel Dr. Prime saw six tables in the parlor at ono time surrounded by people playing cards, and some of these tables wholly occupied by little children who, at an age when they could scarcely be expected to have acquired the rudl ments of education, were now adopts il games that it would be better for then never to learn at all. On the whole, Dr Prime is inclined to say Q pleasant wor( for the wag who at dinner toasted "goo' l King HerOd :"

PRESERVING MEAT.-The London Times says: The new and apparently most valuable method of preserving raw meat, discovered by Professor Ar timini, of Florence, and patented in this country, promises to have great effect upon our markets. According to re- port by Professors Barff and Mills, of the Glasgow University, and Dr. Stev enson, of Guys Hospital, meat six months old was found to be perfectly sound and good, the muscular fibre un- changed and the nutritive properties unimpaired. The material employed is said to be loss expensive than salt, and not only wholesome but pleasant to the taste.

Two Children Dead From Trichina.

A few days ago Q child of family named Keene, who reside two miles north of Milbrook, N. Y., died suddenly, and the next day another child of the same family died in the same mysterious manner, the balance of the family, in- cluding father and mother and another child, being also taken seriously ill. Dr. Berry was called and held post mortem on the two dead children, finding their heads and breasts filed with worms, which had literally destroyed them. An examination of spring close by re- vealed myriads of worms in the bottom of it, and as the family took their water from that spring the doctor concluded that was the cause of the death of the childIen. The remainder of the family are now probably out of danger.

Another Candidate.

By large majority the people of the United States have declared their faith in Kidney Wort as remedy for all the diseases of the kidneys and liver. Some, however, have disliked the trouble of preparing it from the dry form. For such new candidate appears in the shape of Kidney-Wort in Liquid Form. It is very concentrated, is easily taken and is equally efficient as the dry. Try it.-LouiSViAe Post.
