Studv and StimuIants

A very remarkable and interesting
volume IS about to be added by Mr.. K
Arthur Reade to the curiosities of liter
ature. Mr.. Reade, who is not q tenn
perance advocate, or anything of that
kind, but merely n curious observer of
natural phenomena, has collected to-
gether an enormous amount of testimo-
ny from literary men, artists and others
upon their experience in the use of to-
bacco and alcohol. He has letters from
the Duke of Argyll. Matthew Arnold,
George Beard, Professor Blackie, Will
kie Collins, Mr.. Edison, Charles Reade,
Victor Hugo. Mr.. Hamerton, Thomas
Hardy, DR.. Holmes. James Martineau,
James Payne, Bull Run Russell and
host of Others
The most remarkable lesson to be
drawn from this entire collection is the
fact that the majority of those whose
names are foremost in the ranks of
brain-workers are remarkably temper
ate men. The greatest smoker among
them is Mark Twain, who owns up to
having smoked immoderately during
thirty eight years. His health is ex-
cellent, and he smokes 800 cigars a
month. Edison finds stimulant in chew
ing tobacco. "Bull Rum Russell is an
inveterate smoker and good liver gem
orally. Wilkie Collins believes in to-
bacco; Charles Darwin snuffed; Argyll
neither smokes nor drinks; Arnold
drinks claret; Beard believed in tea, CO.
Goa, and tobacco; Professor Blackie
drinks wine, and hates tobacco; Mr..
Childs, CT Philadelphia, never indulges;
Freeman stimulates on sleep; Gladstone
takes little wine for his stomach's
sake; Hamerton is not teetotaler;
Hardy does not smoke; DR.. Holmes and
Mr.. Howells believe in abstinence;
Payne is a constant smoker; Reade is
tobacco hater; Taine writes on coffee and
cigarettes. The sum total of the entire
testimony appears to be that a man
should study himself, and use but not
abuse that which best agrees with his pc
culiar organization.-NeW York COM

William LeveTich, the driver OF Thir-

gT!ar discovery that he had been living
in the same town with his sisterfor three
years. but all the time unknown to him,
anl the accidental occurrence of his
name ia q newspaper was the means of
making the discovery. Leverich left
home about thirteen years ago, and like
80 many other young men in obeying
Horace Greeley precept to 20 West, he
drifEed West and finally to California
He became careless in his correspon-
dence, and for several years his folks
did not know where he was During
this time his sister married q gentleman
named j. s. Hunt, and three years ago
they came to Los Angeles. As Mrs.
Hunt did not know of her brothers
whereabouts, and he did not know she
was married or In California. they did
not meet until Yesterday, when Mrs.

things in Life. They find pleasure where
wisdom sees folly, and love things that

Two Very Polite Diamond Thieves

fashionably dressed man. Gen. Wylie
made up his mind That they were thieves
and he resolved that they should not get
his watch. AS he passed between them

thrown forward by the stoppage of the
car.

Camping with the Baby.

Bourgeois" sends from Denver bit
of fisherman's painting of life at Pine
Grove, on the South Park Railroad. In
it occurs the following tender piece of
wood-sketching: s'It was determined
that baby and [ should tend camp for

prone three feet away, with my toes

sward, my chin in my hands and briar-
root between my teeth. watching him.
There was bright light in his eyes,
and his cheeks were rosy, soft as velvet,
yet firm and cool. What is there like
the touch of baby's cheek pressed
against your own? You must turn and
kiss it, Just as you did its mother the
first time you had a right to. But is
there anything more ridiculous in life

man would knock fly off his nose;
smear it down his face, with his mouth
wide open and turned up like young
robins but it misses the place on the
way down; be takes it with both chubby
fists, looks at it with dignilied surprise,
as though for the first time aware of its
presence, lets go one hand, whacks the
spoon against one ear, and 6rags it
across his cheek with the same result.
But persistence is characteristic of this
baby, a quiet determination that has
something appalling about it. If there
were any raspberry jam on that spoon
his face would look worse than a rail-
road map of the State of New York.
Finally, and as it would seem after all
more by accident than design, the spoon
reaches the right place; he twists it
round to the distortion of his rosebud
mouth; then he looks at ME, sees me

1T was through Corwin's generosity.
He was the most free-handed fellow of
his time. If friend asked him for
money he would crafty him if he had
it, and if he had it not, he would indorse
a note for him to get it. This habit of
indorsing kept him poor and he died
with more debts than assets. The Octo-
Der before he died l loaned him this
money. He had come to Washington,
and had entered my office, telling me
he wanted my check for $500. l told
him | had no bank account in the city,
and my check was not good for nickel
He then said he needed the money bad
", and that he must have it in three
days. If he could do this he could save
himself a couple of thousand. He had
indorsed notes held in Cincinnati to the
amount of $1,000. They had not been
paid and the creditors had told him if
he would send on $1,000 by such day
they would cancel the notes. He still
lacked $500 aud the time was within
three days of completion. If he could
not raise it he would be liable for the ex-
ira $4,000. As he finished his story /
