YOUTH, like everything else, must be
cherished not squandered; and, if we
waste it in idle, frivolous designations,
age will come before years The faster we
travel, the sooner will we get to the end
of our journey. Enjoy youth in every
reasonable way whilst you have it, but
always remember that every time you.
overdraw on it you are contracting debt
which must be repaid with heavy interest
in the future. Retain youth as long as
you can, neglecting nothing which will
assist you in doing 50, but scorning every
thing which is false or deceitiuI. And
when old age comesAas come it will
despite all your efforts to the contrary
accept the inevitable gracefully, and at
tempt neither to disguise nor to disown it.

Advice to the Thirsty.

An always thirsty but very temperate
man exhorts as follows:
"Here is good authority-Albert
Smith. You may possibly have heard
him state the same thing, and it may be
mentioned in his STORY of Mont Blanc.
when arrived at the Grand Mulets I
took small square of chocolate, and
wrapped it round with snow and swal-
lowed, it, and found it most refreshing
and invigorating.' Snow is not portable,
but chocolate is, and has the merit of
not blowing up when heated, like the
ammonia that anglers carry about with
them to cure the midge bites.
''Also avoid cider. Delicious but
fatal drink to takers of exercise. I can
bear testimony to the fact that the more
you drink of it the more you want to.
I am credibly informed that Devonshire
mowers and reapers can drink five or
six gallons, day, and I can perfectly
believe it.
"Never touch spirits under any cir
cumstances. Dozens of lemons can be
easily carried about, and with soda or
plain water, or even that CHASTITY COM
pound ginger-beer, a squeeze of lemon
is worth Kings ransom. There are
two pre-eminent drinks for quenching
the thirst, equal in merit, but matter
of taste to the drinkers-barley water
and milk I prefer the former. But if
young ladies would drink the latter at
balls, for instance, in lieu of doubtful
champagne, they would speedily dis
cover great difference, morally and
physically. And if every lock-keeper
on the Thames were to keep dairy
and a GOO or two ON the premises,
thirsty oarsmen would make his fortune
in few years. London World.

A Wonderful Original Play.

A young Milwaukee person has writ
ten play. The one prominent feature
is its wonderful originality. It is not
like anything We ever Witnessed on the
stage, but of course we cannot say how
it might be received by the public. The
curtain rises upon a dead man the first
thing with the handle Of dagger stick
ing out of his bosom, and the assassin
stands gloating over his victim for few
minutes, when, to the horror of the audi
ence, he seizes the handle of the fatal
weapon, and draws out o bright, gleam-
ing dagger, eleven feet long, and the
murdered man sits up and begins to
argue on the currency question. The
scene changes, when beautiful girl,
rigged up as angel with wings, and dress
ed in pink musquito bar and strung on
wires, floats through the air back and
forth half dozen times, then plunnes
her Highland disappears amid the paste
board clouds at the top Of the stage. Act
third represents piewoman selling
dried apple pies, and there is more or
less conversation of irrelevant nature
between her and customers, one man
producing a boot-heel swearing he
found it in the pie. There is no plot
Plots have become SO common in plays
that the public is tired Of them. There
is no love, love having become old and
bald headed and toothless. There is no
deep and terrible hatred, deep and ter
rible hatred being too snide, and what
fighting occurs is done merely to fill in
the time. The great object aimed at by
the author has been to make the play
original in every essential and he has
succeeded to wonderful degree.

The Presidents condition is alarming, and
unless there is a change soon-very soon-it is
admitted at the White House he will not sur
vive. He is very weak, and of recent has been
out of his mind a great deal, his faculties
wandering wildly. The trouble rises, it is now
admitted, from the swollen gland, and the con-
consequence of the serious complication of
that gland in addition to not having dimin-
ished it's swelling. Pus has accumulated in
half a dozen cells of the gland in addition to
the one opened, to such an extent that by
making incisions in them, as much pus would
come forth from either of them as issued from
that already opened. 1t is also evident now
that the accumulation of pus is proceeding
downward in other cells. 1t is feared that It
will also go upward and reach the BRAIN These
signs indicate, in the most marked degree that
blood poisoning has full hold on the patient,
All is gloom at the White House. The mem
bers of the Cabinet are very apprehensive.
There is nobody who thinks that there is more
than a bare chance Of recovery.
On THE 26th Secretary Blaine sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Minister Lowell, London:
Lo,oeH, Minister, London While the Presi-
dent has made no gain to-day, his loss of
ground has been less, in the Judgment of his
physicians, than was feared last night In this
respect there is slight feeling Of encourage
ment, or at least ray of hope. Adverse
symptoms still manifest, and one favorable
indication of the swallowing and digesting the
liquid food continues. Two or three times
during the day he has asked for nourishment.
He has spoken inteligently and voluntarily,
and throughout the day his mind has been less
to the parotid swelling from the discharge
through the ear has not been realized. The
situation Is one of great gravity and danger.

An Uncomfortable Suggestion.

Mr.. and Mrs. Topnnody were get
ting ready to go out to call on a friend
the other evening, and Mrs. T., desiring
to look well, was arraying herself in q
great variety of colors. Topnoody no
ticed it and began to comment. Said he:
"Mrs. Topnoody, think woman OF
your age ought to wear more subdued
colors."
sob, do you?'' was the response.
"What would you suggest as becoming
your angel wife p
ST think q black dress is simple,
tasteful and becoming"
"Indeed?'
"Yes, indeed"
"Well, then, Topnoody, suppose you
die and leave me widow SO that can
wear the color you think most becoming
to me. OF course, you can't see me in
it, but it would be such pleasure and
comfort to me to know that was pleas
ing my poor, dear, dead husband"
Then Mrs Topnoody smiled in such a
very satisfied way that Topnoody con-
cluded his suggestions were possibly too
previous, and he busted himself tieing
his necktie while Mrs. T. distributed
the rainbow tints as she pleased

A Curious Love Story.

There abides in the mind of woman an
overwhelming sense Of the importance
of having an ample trousseau. Witness
the case of young woman in Dort-
mund, Germany, short time since, who
was arrested for stealing gold watch
and chain from her affianced lover, who
on discovering his loss, had placed the
matter in the hands Of the police, with
out the faintest notion as to who was the
thief. The maiden, with many tears,
confessed that she had taken the watch,
NO that by pawning it she might raise
money enough to buy her wedding dress,
which she could get in no other way.
Thereupon the despoiled but magnani-
nous bridegroom spoke out in court,
declared that "the prisoner was his only
love; and that he would marry her out
of hand II the judge would consent to set
her at liberty" Without delay the trib-
unal annulled the arraignment, and the
generous lover carried off his liberated
iarcenist in triumph.

A Business Girl.

The women who are considering the
advantage Of adding to their incomes by
undertaking the culture of silk, the ex-
perience of Miss Nellie Rossiter. of
Philadelphia, who last year received the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Society's di-
ploma for her success in this industry,
will be of interest. Miss Rossiter, who
is only fourteen years old, thus describes
her work: "When first started had

The Human Pulse.

Physicians have always attached for
all ages the greatest Importance to the
frequency of the hearts action as indi-
Gated by the pulse. The number OF
pulsations of the heart, as stated by DIR.
Milne Edwards, average seventy per
minute in a male and from six to ten
more in female. The pulse Of Napo-
leon, however, was much below the av-
erage. That of Sir William Congreve is
said to have been about 128 per minute
even in health. But. as a general thing,
the variations at Guy s compiled by Milne
Edwards, have been verified by obser-
walton.
The following table of the pulse is in
terestinc in this connection
