Uncle SAln's Men.

Uncle Sam's letter-carriers are hard working set of men. and are liable to contract rheumatism because of the con- stant exposure to which they are sub, jected. Ctlling st the postoffice the reporter had a pleasant conversation with Mir. J. Fl. Mattern, one of the most popular and clever letter carriers Tn h. dianapolis. MT. Mattern said that, while in the army during the civil war, he sprained one of his ankles, which was always worse in the spring during the period of the rapid changes in the weather. He did not find much reliet fr' m the several reme lies he applied. Bnt two years ago he hit uponSt, Jacohs Oil. and experienced wonderful relief from it's use. Several applications of the Great German Remedy relieved him en'irt ly. The reporter talked with others among the letter-carriers and found that he Great German Remedy was popular n the postofice. They use it for sore
 eet, rheumatism, etc, and praise it highly Indianapolis (Ind Ner0s.

Uncle Ben's Advice.

Young man, drive slow and learn to peddle. Go easv don't get in too big a hurry. Don't get too anxious for fame. Remember that is the legacy of bald headed mon.
 Very true, my son, it would be nice to have your portrait published, as one of the men of the times, but it costs money to have your phiz engraved, even on wood. Some folks have more money than fame, and you will sometimes see their pictures in the papers. But, my son, there's nothing in it. You must learn that this world is blg thing-a mighty big thing, and the sooner you can comprehend that you are not the only young man in it the better it will be for you-and the world, too.
 From the birth-bed to the death-bed, from the cradle to the grave, is a long, crooked lane, with a briar hedge on both sides. 1t requires either the high leap of genius or the patient endurance ot industry to jump over or to crawl through to the rich clover fields along side. And remember, boy, genius some times takes high leap over the hedge and comes down in a stony, barren patch, covered with red sorrel and mullen. and 1t takes long time to heal the bruises, and poor genius turns to patient industry, with an empty stomach, for 8 long time before it reaches better field, and sometimes is glad to tear and mutilate itself, crawling back into the stony lane of manual labor.
 But, don't be afraid, my SOD; when you scent good clover field wade right in. The thorns will prick you and tear you, but don't run off to find thinner place, or the chances are you will have your work to do over again. Keep right on and console yourself with the thought that every step you take and every scratch you get leaves that many fewer to go through; and, boy, don't be too eager; don't get "rattled;" don't slash around ,Ou like mad, or you may get bewildered and work the hedge length wise, or back into the lane. Maybe when you do get through, other busy bees will have robbed the clover of it's honey, and you will only get the dead blossoms. but you needn't give up for that. Their arc other good fields. Finally, my son, when you strike rich clover, don't be fool, and try to eat too much, or you may burst, with only the first taste of honey ou your lips. Der rick.

A Talk About Toast.

Mrs. B. P. Ewing, in a lecture upon cookery at Dearborn Seminary, said that toasting effectually destroyed yeast germs in bread, and converted the l insoluble starch into soluble substance resembling gum, and which chemists called dextrine, so that toasted bread was incapable of fermenting and pro- ducing fatulence, or becoming sour on the stomach. Bread toasted very dry agreed better with a weak stomach than any other bread. Indeed 6 sensitive stomach would frequently digest toast when it would digest no other article of food. Hence toast, which was ill gen. eral use as diet for invalids, could be safely and judiciously recommended for them at all times; and the loose talk in- dulged in by some self-styled teachers of physiology about the extreme m, healthfulness of toast, especially when buttered, only gave emphasis to the fact that toasting bad bread and melt iog bad butter did not improve the quality of either, or render them less indigestible or unwelcome than when in their original unregenerate condition. Melting or boiling inferior butter would not make 1t proper food for a human stomach, and the most skillful manipu- lation would not convert sour, half- baked bread into nutritious, palatable tonst. The latter held so important a place among foods that every one should know how to make it properly. Yet one of the best American authori- ties on culinary matters has said that only about one in 10000 knew how to make toast, and the lecturer endorsed the statement so far as to assert that bad toast was the rule Id good toast the exception. In making toast, three directions should be observed:
 Gut the bread, which should be some what stale, in even slices, about half an inch in thickness. If the bread is fresh, slightly dry them. Hold each slice su tficient distance from the fire, which should be of clear. bright coals, to keep it from burning, and let it brown evenly. For this purpose a wire broiler or toasting fork cau be used. When the surface of ono side becomes a rich, golden color, turn and heat the other side in similar manner, until the slice is perfectly toasted. Serve the moment it is done in a warm plate, dry or buttered, and it will tempt the appe. tite of either invalid or epicure. And the average individual, said Mrs. Ewing, might indulge occasionally with i'm punity in a broiled quail Or a Boston stew, served on toast after this method, without the least fear of future regret or discomfort t.

MANY proverbs admit of contradiction

MANY proverbs admit of contradiction as witness the following "The more the merrier." Not SO; one hand in a purse is enough. Nothing but what has an end." Not so; ring has none, for it is round. "Money is great com fort" Not when it brings thief to the gallows. "The world is long journey Not so the suns goes over it in day {" It is great way to the bottom of the sea-" Not so it is but a stones cast. "A friend is best found in diversity" Not so; for then there is none to be found. "The pride of the rich man makes the labor of the poor" Not SO ; the labor of the poor makes the pride of the rich.

A Bond Question.

The Supreme Court of the United States has rendered an elaborate opin. ion on 8 question as important as it is curious. On the 2d of July, 1870, the town of Louisville, H., voted to issue certain railroad bonds; but on the same day constitutional amendment prohib- iting towns from issuing such bonds was carried by a popular vote and took effect immediately. The question as to the validity of the bonds went to the Federal Supreme Court.
 It has been held in many cases that the law does not recognize factions or divisions of day, and hence that a leg islative or Congressional act or a con- stitutional amendmen goes into opera tion on the morning of the day on which it was passed or ad opted, and conse- quently embraces the entire day. Thus the United States Supreme Court de. cided that President Johnson's procla- nation Of June IS, 1865, removing all restrictions on internal, domestic and coastwise trade, took effect at the be- ginning of that day and applied to all the transactions of the day. According to this principle the Louisville bonds would have been invalidated by the popular ratification of the constitu- tional amendment on the same day on which the bond vote was taken.
 But there are exceptions to this gen. eral rule. ''It is true," says the Su- preme Court, "that for many purposes the law knows no division of day, but whenever it becomes important to the ends of justice or in order to decide upon conflicting interests the jaw will look into fractions of day as readily as into the fractions of any other unit of time." If necessary the courts will inquire at what hour of the day an act was signed or a proclamation issued by the chief executive, and hold that it had no effect previous to that hour. Apply ing this principle to the Illinois case the Supreme Court rules that the con- stitutional amendment was not adopted until the polls were closed, and finds that before that hour the entire vote on the bonds was cast. The bonds were accordingly held valid.

lover kindlier lies than tired eyelids on
tired eyes-the sort of music, indeed.
Keats meant when he speaks of the

bad man say, Never mind, you got it,
