A Physicians Advice OF How to Gain
Health

HIRRIsRURG' Pa, March 50, 1881.
Nothing is more charming and at
tractive than thoroughly healthy,
perfectly formed womsn; bright-eyed,
rosy, laughing, joyous, haPpy-taced
girl, one who finds keen pleasure IN
merely living. An invalid wife or
mother is constant object OF sympathy
in an otherwise Contented household.
Happy the home whose women folk en-
iov perfect health. In my practice |
have always recommended sickly women
70 use Browns Iron Bitters. In cases OF
irregularities, dyspepsia, indigestion,
heartburn, nausea, sour stomach, ner'
vousuess and exhaustive debility, | find
it exceeds all other remedies as a true
medical tonic. 1t never fails TO gently
soothe, refresh and strengthen the gen
eral system, and especially those parts
made weak by continued distress; and
what satisfies me most is, that the cures,
although in some instances gradual,
are always permanent. M. ID.

WEAVING the Baby Elephant.

bridgeport Farmerl ia
The baby elephant of the Barnum-London
show is now 10 months old and is fast growing
out Of the estate of babyhood, although long
way removed from that of an adult. On Tues
day last there was commenced at the show
quarters in Bridgeport the interesting process OF
weaving him from the mother. He was not
removed from the elephant room, but simply
taken from the opposite side Of the apartment
and chained to a stake the same as the grown
animals. Both mother and offspring showed
their disapproval of the proceedings very
strongly, but neither made any serious trouble.
1t was feared Hebe might get into furious
rage over the estrangement, but she contented
herself with merely uttering vigorous protests
at FREQUENT intervals and then falling into
state of mild melancholy. The baby takes
kindly to his new diet, which is mostly crack
ers and milk. and probably in a few days more
will not feelslpecially aggrieved at being obliged
to subsist upon regular elephant diet OF hay
and grain The milk taken from Hebe since
the weaning began is freely drunk by the show
employees. Prof. Arstingstall, who has charge
of the elephants, says he has grown quite fond
of it. 1t is thicker and richer than cows milk,
he saws, and has consistency and flavor sug-
gesting the milk of the cocoanut. About
gallon of it is drunk daily by the attaches of
the establishment. 4e4 h|

Use Of "Looks Beautifully. ).

[The Verbalist by Alfred Ayresl
''It is sometimes interesting to note the diff
ference between vulgar bad grammar and gen.
teel bad grammar, or, more properly, between
non-painstaking and painstaking bad gram
mar. The former uses, for example, adjec-
tives instead of adverbs; the latter uses ad-
verbs instead of adiectives. The former says,
This bonnet is trimmed shocking the latter
says, This bonnet looks shockingly.' In
the first sentence the epithet qualities the verb
is trimmed, and therefore should have its ad-
verbal rm-shockingly; in the second sem
tence the epithet qualities the appearance-a
noun-of the bonnet, and consequently should
have its adjectival form-shocking. The sec
ond sentence means to say, This bonnet pre-
sents a shocking appearance. The bonnet
certainly does not really look; it is looked at,
and to the locker its appearance is shocking.
So we say, in like manner, of person. that he
or she looks sweet. or charming, or beautiful
or handsome or horrid, or graceful, or timid,
and SO on, always using an adjective. Miss
Coghlan, as Lady Teazie, looked charmingly'
Tho grammar of the New York Herald would
not have been any more incorrect II 1t had said
that Miss Coghlan looked gladly, or sadly, or
madly, or delightedy, or pleasedly. person
may look sick or sickly, but in both cases the
qualifying word is an adjective. The verbs to
smell, to feel, to sound, and to appear are also
found in sentences in which the qualifying
word must be an adjective and not an adverb.
We say, for example, The rose smells sweet
sThe butter smells good, or bad, or fresh;' I
feel glad, or sad, or bad, or despondent, or
annoyed or nervous;' This construction sounds
harsh;' How delightful the country appearsP
On the other hand, to look, to feel, TO smell, to
sound and to appear are found in sentences
where the qualifying word must be an adverb;
thus, He feels his loss keenly;" The king
looked graciously on herr 4 smell 1t family
We might also say, He feels sad [adiectivel be-
cause he feels his loss keenly' (sdverb); He
appears welr (adverb). The expression, She
seemed confusedly, or timidlv,' is not a whit
more incorrect than She looked beautifully, or
charmingly."

Heskett of Columbus.
A Very. Very Bad Trade Imputed to This
Gentleman.
rInd,anapolis .Journal.l

n. Indianapolis Journal,l
The old tradition that Paganini oAce sold
himself to the devil, so as to be made the great
est violinist of the world, is reviewed and mod
ernized In story that comes from Columbus,
Ohio Fl. H. Heskett, jeweller Of that city
has for a quarter of century been possessed
of desire to make violin equal to those IA
nous ones made by Stradivarius, who died in
1744, and the secret of violin making died with
him. Ever since then great artists have been
paying enormous sums for instruments OF his
make. In 1878 Remenyi was in Columbus,
and Heskett called on him with violin he
had made, which was pronounced very bad.
Sixteen months later he took two more instru-
ments to Remenyi, who seemed pleased with
them, and encouraged their maker to continue
with his work. Now comes the thrilling part
OF the story-the after climax, as it were. Last
February, while playing in Des MQines, he
menyi received by express from the Columbus
ieweler a magnificent violin. 1t was new
Stradivarius, with all the classical modelling,
the inimitable curve and contour OF the old
master, and Remenyi uses it constantly for the
following reason: 1t is said when he was
locked mp in his room at Des Moines he discov-
cred marvellous secret. IL IS nothing less
than that the violin maker Of Columbus, after
working and failing for 25 years, finally in des-
pair sold himself to the devil for the skill to
make the great violin. He bought the secret
OF Stradivarius with his soul. In other words.
the devil is in Remenyi's new violin and the
artist discovered that fact while he was locked
up with the instrument at Des Moines. That
accounts for the manner in which Remenyi
treats his violin; sometimes when the devil is
in good humor and sings divinely Remenyi
smiles right out on the stage; again, he
shakes his head knowingly or cajoiiDgly, of
course to the devil in the box. Sometimes
when the evil one becomes uncomfortable you
can see great frown on the artists face; his
eyes flash, he congresses his lips and lashes
the devil with horsehair until he fairly rUars
and screams The devil is such an intractable
one that Remenyi wears out bow on him
every two days. He had to order new lot
from Cincinnati by telegraph Sunday night
because the devil did not like to play on Sun
day and had to be whipped into 1t.

The Guiteau Trial.

The progress of the trial of the assassin
Guiteau is awakening in the minds of the
American people mingled feelings of grief,
disgust and wrath. The death of Garfield
was SO real and personal sorrow to his fell
low-countrymen and his memory is SO ten
derly cherished, that it seems an unbeara-
BILE indecency that there should be anything
of farcieal character conn ected with 1t. 1t
seems evident that the assassin has an un-
balanced intellect and that he is a vain,
hairbrained wretch, but it seems equally
Gear that he had sufficient knowledge of
right and wrong and sufficient self control
to make him fully responsible before the
laws for his conduct. 1t is grievous, indeed,
that he should be able 10 ventilate his fam
tastic and even blasphemons twaddle before
the world, but we can endure this for the
sake of the great principle that all men ac-
cnsed of crime shall have an open hearing
in court and shall be allowed to speak in
their own behalf. But this liberty should
be repressed within the closest lawful limits
for the sake of decency and the tender sensi,
bilities of nation. Judge Cox occupies a
very delicate and difficult position, which
should be fairly considered by those who are
inclined TO be impatient at the miserable
exhibition at Washington. If the Judge
should gag the prisoner and refuse to let
him speak at all, it would be in the nature
OF confession that he was too insane to an
swer in court, which is precisely what the
defense claims. But the limits of the en-
ouiry should be drawn as closely as possible
and the interrogatories of the Government
should be simple and dignifed. Judge Por-
ter, who is of counsel for the Government,
showsa tendency to conduct what may be
called "smart' cross-examination, good
deal as he would in an ordinary criminal
case. This is not decorous nor suited to
the dignity and gravity of the case. The
interpretations of the word daughter" al
smart questions of counsel or smart answers
of the witness are an affront to the feelings
of the nation. Then, too, all this examine
tion of public men as to the political situa-
tion, is unnecessary and frivolous. What.
ever that situation may have been it would
not justify the murder. The only question
now, is whether the assassin is too insane to
be responsible for his act, and to that ques-
ton the testimony should be very closely
confined. Let us have an end of frivolous
and fantastic testimony.

Couldn't Really Wait for the Hang

"what's'al this crowd around for?" asked
Mr.. McIver, of Texas, when the captain Of
