fidence. He was the agent of the American Ex.
press Company at Colchester, as well as of the
Railroad Company. The esteem in which he was
held is evidenced by the fact that the Supe.in.

vance him in the company's employ by giving
him more lucrative ana responsible position
The fact of his absconding was therefore source

In regard TO the use of salicylate of soda
in rheumatism, DIR. Bouloumie communi-
Gates to the Paris Academy of Medicine some
OF the results of his recent investigations.
His more important conclusions are, that it
is in the case of young men-patients who
have not before undergone attacks of govt
or who do not present any tendency to nerv-
Gus depression-that the salicylate may be
used without danger; second, that it acts
chiefly by deadening pain; third, that in
thus treating acute articular rheumatism in
children the salicylate is perfectly well
borne by them, even in daily dose of six
grams.
The almost proverbial healthfulness and
freshness of butchers is attributed, in an
article in Les Mondes, to the fact that they
absorb. by assimilation through the respi-
ratory passages, the nutritive and vitalizing
principles of the meat volatized in the air,
for 1t is generally observed fact that butch
ers have small appetites and do not eat
much meat. Assuming this to be the true
explanation, it is argued that young people
suffering from deficient or impure blood,
and especially children of weak or lvm
phatic constitution, might be subjected with
advantage to hygienic treatment based upon
it. A French physician of eminence com
mends the idea, and offers a plan for a
plan for kind of gaseous baths for patients,
the air to be charged with vapors of the APP
propriate vitalizing principles and thus, he
thinks, arrest the progress of differentiation.

How He Recognized Him.

An amusing story is told of a French
actor who went into the country to study a
new part. He was waiting OF lonely sta
ton and thinking of his part, when quite
unconsciOusly he began to act it in dumb
show. French actors think more of the
pantomime of a play than we do, and the
comedian, while waiting for his train, had
gone through some of the principal scenes
of the new piece in this way, quite ignorant
that his efforts had been watched with the
keenest interest by an attentive rustic sit
ting on box in dark corner. When the
actor suspended his task the rustic rushed
up to him quite eagerly, asking in anxious
zones: "And the lovers, Monsieur, were
they united, and was the villain dis
covered?" What dc you mean?" inquired
the actor. "0h, Monsieur told the story
beautifully But my good fellow, ]
have not spoken q word" "Ah, Monsieur,
| could see il all by your movements, and
know Monsieur from the photograph
in the show windows"

The sled was new, all red. and yellow.
And little Dick was happy fellow,
When he and his sister, one bright, clear day,
Went out on the hill for merry play.
The snow was white and smooth and deep;
The hill, Dick said, was Jolly Steep"
And the sun in the sky shone merrily.
And Dick and Daisy laughed cheertly.
Now must steer." cried Master Dick.
You're only girl you know.
You sit behind and see how quick

So Daisy, the dearest of little girls,
Chung close to Dick. while her golden curls
Flew out on the breeze, and her laugh rang out
As heartily as her brothers shout
Hold hard! - said Dick "In minute more
At the bottom Of the hill we'll be.
For steering straight and running true
There never was fellow like me.

A stone. that wanted TO see the fun,
P0ked up its head, and I'm sorry 10 say
That sled slid empty the rest OF the way.
Then Dick crawled YEARLY out of the snow,
And Daisy uttered great big "O!'
And the other boys laughed with hearty goo'

And the sled stopped short at the foot OF tn

The Lad and the Man.
[New York Tribnne.I


As the boy begins, so the man will end
The lad who speaks with affectation, and
minces foreign tongues that he does not I'M
derstand at school, will be weak chrome
in character all his life; the boy who cheats
his teacher into thinking him devout at
chapel will be the man who will make re-
ligion trade, and bring Christianity into
contempt; and the boy who wins the high
est average by stealing his examination pa
pers will figure some day as a tricky poll
tician. The lad who, whether rich or poor,
dull or clever, looks you straight in the eye
and keeps his answer inside OF the truth,
already counts friends who will last all his
life, and holds capital which will bring
him in a surer interest than money.
Then get TO the bottom of things. You
see how il is already as 10 that 1t was the
student who was grounded in the grammer
that took the latin prize; it was that slow,
steady drudge who practiced firing every
day last winter that bagged the most game
in the mountains; it is the clerk who studies
the speciality of the house in off hours who

go-lucky hit-or-miss fellow usually turns
out the dead weight of the family by forty
five. Don't take anything for granted; get
to the bottom of things. Neither be sham
yourself nor be fooled by shams.

A Graceful Action-Honoring the Confeder

place in Greenwood Cemetery, New Orleans
About IL o'clock the Charlestown Mass.
Cadets, Captain Phipps commanding, went to

tire company, after which beautiful shield
of the Union, made of flowers, with a
crescent and star in the center, was offered
in memory of the dead and placed on the
marble bust of Lee on the monument. Then
was sung Sweet By and By" after which
three ruffies of the drum were beaten and
the Company marched silently to the cars
and returned to the city. Commenting on
the above incident the Picayune says:
This act on the part of the Cadets was entirely
unexpected, even by their hosts, the Continental
Guards. the matter having been kept profound
secret. 1t a ceremony conceived in the spirit

SPRING.

The genial days of spring have come,
Now blow the sweet east breezer;
We welcome them, these zephyrs strong,
With coughs and colds and sneezes.
The street-band comes TO cheer our hearts,
After winters stiffness.
With wheeZy horn and dismal flute,
And other signs OF illness.
Suring poets rise in large array,
And seek the daily papers:
While from the slush of mud and snow
Arise miasmic yapors.
The organ-grinders, too, thaw out,
And play with fitful spasm;
They dwell upon Spring, gentle Spring"
With delicate sarcasm.

Apropos of Georges birthday: Mrs Wash
ington, the mother of George, was going tc
make soap. George and his father arranged
large cask with some straw in the bottom
OF it, and on top of the straw they put some
ashes and then leeched them. Mrs. Wash
ington got her soap grease all ready, and in
short time the house was filled with thai
beautiful odor that betokens the process o.
soap boiling is going on. With all her skill
she could not make the soap come. On in
yestigation it was discovered that some o.
the ashes used were from the WOOD of the
cherry tree George cut down, and no lyt
could be prodsced even from them. This
shows the power of truthfulness.

A Girl Charmer of Birds.

There lives near Harrisburg, Ohio a very
remarkable child only five gears old, who
seems to have the power to charm birds at
will. Her mother first noticed this strange
fascination that the child possesses about a
yearago. The little girl was out playing in
the door yard among bevy of snow-birds,
and when she spoke TO them they would
come and light upon her, twittering with
glee. On taking them in her hands and
stroking them, the birds, instead of trying to
