Coughs Cheese Argument.

No one knows better than John B.
Cough how to use the reductio I'D 40
surdena, or how to handle a bit Of
humor that, like the stocking the
Irishman was swinging at Donny-
brook Fair, had a rock in it. The
following from his lecture, "The
Foes we Fight, " is a straight shot:
An LID. (and 1 am very sorry to
say he is Massachusetts LID was
dining at the table Of a lady who
never furnishes wine, no matter who
is her guest, at whose house General
Grant spent nearly two days, during
which time not one drop OF wine, ale
or spirits would she present to him or
his staff; and when the British nobility
are sometimes entertained by her,
they inquire, "Can you entertain
Lord So-and-so?" when she replies,
'Yes, but he must know beforehand
that neither wine, ale nor spirits are
offered in my house. This gentle
man was at her dinner-taDle, and he
said: "Now I think l cannot under
stand your position in reference to
this matter, Mrs. So-and-So. Now l
enjoy glass of wine at my dinner; it
is my habit to use it. You say to me,
doctor, [ shall give you no wine
because So-and-So makes bad use Of
it. Here is one person can drink
with impunity, and here is another
who makes q fool Of himself. BY and
by you viii take from US all our lux
uries. Ienjoy cheese. 1 ike it with
cup Of coffee and a cracker; it pro
notes digestion. Would you say,
Doctor, here is a man cannot eat
cheese with impunity, and l shall give
you no cheese?'" Is that a fair way
ol putting it? Did you ever hear a
man standing on the gallows-tree
saying to those who came to witness
his execution: ''Now, my friends.
take warming by me; never eat any
cheese?" Did you ever hear OF a man
numbering his wife, and giving as d
reason, or as an excuse, that he had
been eating cheese? Did you ever
hear Of row in the streets, where
one man is murdered, or several rib:
broken, the papers say, ''Those mer
have been eating freely of cheese?'
| Now, just show to he that cheesc
produces eight-tenths Of the crime
Iseven-eighths pauperism, and half the
lunacy; show to me that cheese pro
duces the result that drink does, anc

Keep the Blood Pure.

I viii now tell you, writes phYsi-
clan in Harper's WeeHy, Of a few
things which tend to render the blood
pure and healthy. Rising in the
morning at a reasonably early hour,
and going out for short walk before
breakfast, does, previously having
Dashed and dressed without undue
haste. The walk need not be a long
one, and a glass Of pure cold water
can always be taken, just before
starting, with advantage, or a cup Of
milk by those who are weakly. Seven
o'clock, or earlier in summer, is &
good time to get up. It is just posi-
bic, however, that when called, you
may be enjoying a sound sleep, not
having rested very well in the first
part of the night. If. such be the
case, are you to get up? Yes, get up
all the same; you will sleep better
next night. Secure yourself being
aroused at a certain hour every
morning by an alarm or otherwise.
Early rising is a habit that is not by
any means difficult to acquire, but il
really is a blessed one. The walk,
too, before breakfast may not be rel
ished for a time, but it will soon be
found to have improved the appetite.
The breakfast on the live-by-rule
principle should be fairly substan-
tial one both in quality and quantity.
As to the latter be guided by your
own judgment; there ought to be a
sense Of safety after eating, bnt ne
feeling of fulness and no depression OF
spirits or sleepiness. The morning
meal, and indeed all meals, ought tc
be taken at the same hour every day.
By getting up soon you gain many
advantages, two Of which are these;
You have not to hurry through the
breaktast-due mastication is the
very first act il the manufacture o1
healthy food-and you can spare hall
an hour after the meal before going
to work or business; this gives the
stomach fair start, and enables i
to do its work properly. If you have
more than half an hour to spare, anl
letters to write, by all means write
them, for the evening before retiring
to rest should be a time of perfec
peace of mind and repose of body.

FOoling a Chinaman.

No Picayune.l
A plump little Celestial, his almond
eyes twinkling with delight and an
extraordinary grin lighting up his
yellow countenanee, dropped in to
witness the lottery drawing the other
day.
He watched the blindfolded boys
draw the numbers from the wheel with
apparent interest and bore the jokes
Of the crowd with evident good na-
ture,
"Say, John, you washee that mans
shirtee?" asked one Of the crowd,
pointing to one of the benevolent
looking commissioners.
81 washee heapee plenty shirtee If
I vince plize," said the bland Mon
golian.
"Have you got a ticket, Johnp re
piled the man in the crowd.
"Well, me tmnkee me habee, re
piled the Chinaman, drawing one from
his pocket. ''Tlickee wln?" he In
quired.
Tie man looked at the number,
and, scanning his lisr, found that it
had come in Tor a $500 psize.
"WeIl, John" replied the man in
the crowd, very innocently, 81 think
you've lost"
"Chinee man losee alice time" said
the subject of the fowery empire,
'gottee no luckee. Gless tlow tlickee
away"
'eYou needn't do that, John" said
the man, with a patronizing air. "Pn
give you a dime for it. .
"Dlime too lillee. Glimmee a dol
lar" SAID the Celestial.
"a dollars TOO much for a ticket
that can't win. Wen split the diff
ference and call it half a dollar, eh?''
said Johns kind informant.
"Chinee man gottee no luckee;
Mclean man takee alice mlonee.
Takee the tlickee and glimmee flo
bittee," and John passed over his
ticket in exchange for the money.
When the Mongolian's grinning
features had disappeared, the man
chuckled and remarked that he had
''got her this time"
Lets see the ticket, asked one OF
his friends.
The man who had made the lucky
investment handed the ticket over,
when his friend exclaimed:
''Why, George, it was drawn last
June"
''Is that so?" asked the man, dumb
founded, the revelation that he had
been duped dawning upon him.
''Where is that lying rascal of &
heather Chinee who put up this job Oh
me?"
But the Chinaman could nowhere be
found, and the man had to be satisfied
with the experience that he had pur
chased with half dollar.

Why She Knew.

BctrOlt free EreSS-
The other day there was a suit in
Justice alley between two Wayne
county farmers regarding the owner
ship of fourteen unmarked grain bags.
Each side was prepared to stoutly
swear that the bags were his, and
each had witnesses to back his testi-
mony. The complainant swore to
buying the bags at a certain store on a
certain time, and his hired man
swore to handling them as they were
taken from the wagon. The defend
ant swore that he purchased them at
a certain place at a certain time, and
bis wife was called to the stand to tell
what she knew about it. She was a
large, feshy woman, and very much
bewildered.
Land save me! but I was never in
such crowd before, and 1 feel as if I
should faint!" she gasped, as she took
the witness stand.
"Never mind fainting, Mrs. X
said the lawyer. ''Tel the jury what
you know about those bags"
"Ohl land! but [ know all about
'em! We bought 'em on the 10th of
November"

"Sakes alive! but know it was, for
I boxed Melissa's ears that morning
for leaving a spoon in the dish water,
and she was married IN the 18TH"
"Who asked for the bags at the
store?"
"Oh! stars and garters! but 1 did,
I remember it as plain as day"
"What did the clerk say?"
"Oh! stars! but he said, certainly,
and he went and got EN-"
''What else do you remember?"
"Oh, lands! but 1 wanted a calico

"And you didn't get it?"
''Bless granny! I didn't, and We
jawed all the way home"
"And now why are you positive
that these are the bags?"
"Oh! dear, oh! but while we were
jawing threw 'em out into the road.

"Never mind being most dead,

What Shall the Boys Do!

Rural New Yor,ler.l
The very basis of the healthful prog
ress of any nation or country is the
practice Of some mechanical industry
by the majority of the men. a GER
tain proportion may earn a living in
commercial pursuits or in the profes-
sions, and some may procure a living
as saloon-keepers, bar tenders, loaf
ers and tramp5. But very few can be
supported in idleness or in vice with
out laying a weary burden upon the
industrious classes. Of late years a
serious social danger is threatened by
the action of the various trades-unions
in refusing to admit boys into shops as
apprentices. Some years ago there
was class of apprentices in every
large shop or factory, and in time
these boys became skiIlfuI workmen.
Now the supply of such artisans is cut
of at the very source, and the con
sequence must be-and is, for we are
all discovering it in the most paIpable
mauner-inferior materials and work
manship in nearly every tool and
machine that is purchased. ''The
farmer pays for ali, not only for in
ferior work Of unframed artisans, bu
for the support Of idle boys and th'
vicious, dangerous men that idl,
youths must invariably become il
time.
Fortunately there is one industr.
into which every boy will be wei
coined. There is scarcely a farmer
in the land who is not prepared anC
ready, nay, eager, to accept the servi
cos Of an apprentice for such remu
neration as his labor may deserve
Board, clothes and a little spending
money he is ready to give, and, il
addition. to teach him the practice 0
his ART, which is certainly as intrieat
as saving wood or hammering iron
There are no trades unions on th
farm. The farms will receive all tn
boys that workshops refuse, and tn
| boys Will have no cause in the end t
regret the ill-nature and selfshnes
that drove Them there.
