81 Never Take Medicine. ,,

During the short administration of
President Taylor, a young man visited
Washington to sell cholera medicine.
Thinking it would aid him in his bust
ness, he called at the White House while
public reception was being held, to
present the President with bottle of
the medicine.
He had rehearsed little speech with
which to preface the presentation. But
when he found himself face to face for
the first time with live President his
nerves were too much disturbed for him
to speak it. He, therefore, mumbled a
few words, more amusing than elegant.
about the medicine being 80 dead shot. "
and pulled out the bottle, only to hear
the President soy, in tone loud enough
to be heard through the room:
II thank you but I never take med
icine, cholera or no cholera"
The young man almost tainted from
modification. But in less than ten DAYS
Gen. Taylor died of cholera. caused bv
his own indiscretion in eating.
On very warm Fourth Of July the
cornerstone of the Washington monu-
ment was laid. President Taylor partic-
ipated in the ceremony, and drank freely
of ice-water.
On his return to the White House he
complained of feeling hungry, and ate
freely of cherries, washing them down
with iced milk.
At dinner, against the remonstrance of
physician, who was present, he again
partook heartily of cherries. In nm hours
time he was attacked by cholera-morbua
and died within four days.

A Perfect Home.

The most perfect home I ever saw was
little house into the sweet incense of
whose fires went no costly things. A
thousand dollars served as a years living
for father, mother and three children.
But the mother was the creator of that
home; her relations with the children
were the most beautiful have ever seen.
Even the dull and common place man
was lifted up and enabled to do good
work for souls by the atmosphere which
this woman created; every inmate of the

NIGH TIntO Death.

One day mother who had been to a
country house, near Marseilles, re-
turned with her son to Marseilles. It
was twilight. The child, 8 years old,
had been put into peach basket, borne
by donkey, and the mother, fearing
the child might catch cold lit wasin No
vember) had covered the boy with a
thick brown shawl. Tired with running
around the country all day, coy and
warm under the thick shawl, the child
was soon asleep and hidden by the sides
of the basket. Although the city gates
were neared (there is a local custom
house at the gates of Marsei]1es), the
mother, forgetting all about the child,
walked distance behind the donkey
and did not make him stop at the GUS
tom house to be searched. The custom
officer seeing the donkey jog on without
stopping, suspected he was laden with
smuggled goods and ran after him to
thrust his sharp steel probe through the
basket. Luckily the mother observed
him, ran forward and screamed: "Don't
use your probei My child is in that
basket" That child was Adolphe Theirs.

Manner and Manners,


The distinction between n womans
manner and her manners is thus bought
out by the Christian at Work.:
It has been we'll said that u lady may
possess very excellent manners, and yet
have very unfortunate manner, and the
reverse.
To illustrate. There is girl who has
been carefully taught from her child
hood how to enter and leave o room
how to address and introduce people,
how to behave at the table and in COM
pany, yet, Notwithstanding continual
lessons in department, she has q manner
which is not winning.
She is proud, or vain, or cold, or dis
dainful, and this is shown by her man.
ner even when her manners are agree
able.
We often 60 into little store kept by
q woman whom we desire to help by our
custom. But nearly always her air Of
supercilious Indifference, and her icy re-
moteness from the least interest in us or
our purchases, sends us away half
frozen.
On the other hand, we know certain
saleswomen, in some Of the great stores
in New York, who are so sunny, so
genial md so delightful in their way Of
serving us, that to buy from them is a
perfect pleasure, and they often persuade
us into taking what we really do not
want, solely by the charm of their
sweet, unaffected grace.

A Man Eating q Mad Doc.

Never was the ancient adage, "there
is no accounting for tastes" more
quantity illustrated than by surprising
story which reaches us from Neustadt,
in Bohemia. One Peschka, an inn
keeper of that town, was bitten some
weeks ago by his own house dog. I'm
willing to slay the animal on bare sus-
picion Of its sanity, he consigned it to
the town gravedigger, enjoining the
functionary to take care of it until fur
Their orders respecting it's ultimate fate
should DO impaired to him. A few days
later, however, Peschka was attacked by
hydrophobia, of which horrible malady
he died in excruciating agony. The
sanitary authorities of Neustadt forth
with applied to the gravedigger for the
mad dog committed to his custody, ill.,
tending to have it destroyed. Their as
constituent may be more readily i'm
agined than described when the sexton,
in answer to their requisition, calmly
observed:
"The mad dog? have eaten him -
"You have eaten the mad dog?" in
credulously exclaimed O horror stricken
sanitary official
'Better that than he should eat me p
rejoined the philosophical gravedigger.
at would appear not only that this man
of strange appetites had swallowed and
digested the rabid animal. but that it
had agreed with him, for, as the story
runs, he is still in the enjoyment of To-
bust health, and pursues his professional
avOcotion with undated vigor.
