Troubles that Meyer Happen.

A story is told of an old man who
in his long pilgrimage had borne
many of the ills of life. His friends
were condoling with him on the oc-
currence OF some special affliction,
and saying that he really had more
troubles than other men, when he
replied
"Yes, my friends, that is too true.
I have been surrounded by troubles
all my life long but there is Curl
Gus thing about them, nt1e-tenthS Of
them never hdppened."
What quantities of such troubles
haye afflicted US through all our pill
primage! Most people take pains to
secure all the enjoyment possible out
of their troubles. They enjoy them
in anticipation and for all practical
purposes a trouble which has not oc-
cured is often fully equal to one
which has. After having feared them,
fretted over them. and talked about
them in advance, then If they come,
they have the good of them again ;
and after they have come and gone
they still can recollect them, and
think them over, and deriye great en-
joyment from them. For those people
who never are happy except when
they are miserable, and who make
the most of small troubles, seeing
they are all they have, can derive
nearly as much satisfaction from 8
dead trouble as they can from one
that is alive. SO by anticipating them
in the future, making the most o
them in the present, and recalled
them from the past, they keep them
selves we'll supplied with troubles.

"Like Hot Cakes"

The above is an old-time express
sion, and is nearly as cold as the
hills" but yet it is occasionally
brought into good use, and placed in
a position where it counts and adds
great weight to the words accompany
ing it. This is true in the following
testimonial sent to DR.. S. B. Hart
man & Co.. by Messrs. Parrett & Son,
druggists, of Greenfield, Ohio, who
say:
'Send us some more advertising
matter, Your medicine is selling like
hot cakes. Send us a good supply
for we need it badly"
Those men know when they han-
die good thing. Judging from the
above. PERUNA must be in good de-
mand in that country. Being COM
posed purely Of vegetable ingredients
druggists feel safe IN recommending
it to their friends. Send for the pam
phlet on the "Ills of Life"

Largest Hogs on Record.

The New York Sun publishes an
account of a lot of hogs that were
offered for sale in that city, which
probably exceed in size any previous
record. Their weights ranged from
S66 to I.098 pounds dressed. Twenty
of them weighed 1858 pounds. an
average of 9S2 pounds. The breed is
known as Red and White Jersey. In
giving an account of them the mer-
chant said: "Those hogs had a better
house to live in than third of the
people of this city have. Each hog
had a separate stall that was kept
clean and sweet by constant attention
and unlimited fresh bedding. They
were fed on meal and milk. The
qualification of beating the record is
always worth the expense, but lighter
hogs yield more money on the in
vestments."

False Teachers.

The most dangerous enemies of the
church are not infideIs and world
lings, but hypOcritical Christians. An
enemy in the camp is far more pow
erful for evil than one outside of it.
One inconsistent Christian Injuries
the cause of religion more than five
rampant infidels. One backslidden
minister strikes a more disastrous
blow at the church than dozen of
IngersOll's eloquent lectures. In view
Of this, it is an ominous sign that so
many ministers are departing from
the old faith, preaching the "enticing
words of mems WISDOM" while they
still pretend to be the elect of God.
These men proclaiming falsehood
from the pulpit, pandering to the
spirit of the times with a perverted
gospel, are the most powerful agen-
cies of Satan in fighting the kingdom
of God. When, in the history of the
people of Israel, the destruction O.
Ahab was desired and the Lord plan
ned how to effect it, the problem was
solved in this way: A spirit came
forth and stood before the Lord anC
said, 81 will persuade him (; l will b.

Hints on Sleep

Inc question of chief importance to
most people il these overwrouglit,
waxefut daY8ssl nights is how to get
good sleep en6dgh DIR. Corning drops
. few simple hints which may be of
value. Inthe first place people should
haye regular time for going to sleep.
and i should be as soon as can well
be after sunset. People who sleep at
any time, according Il, convenience,
get less benefit from their sleep than
Others getting sleep becomes more
.difiiculti there is 4 tendency to nery-
Gus excitability and arrangement ;the
repair Of the system does not equal the
waste. The more finely organized
people are, tile greater the difficulty
and the danger from this cause. The
first thing in order to sleep well is to

1t as early as possible. The next thing
is to exclude all worry and exciting
subjects of thought from the mind
some time before retiring. Your body
and mind must be let down from the
high pressure strain before going to
he'd, so that nature can assert her
rlghtful supremacy afterward. An4
other point is, never to thwart the
drowsy impulse when it comes at the
regular time by special efforts to keep
awake, for this drow8iness is the ad-
vance guard of healthy, restorative
sleep. Sleep is boon which must
not be tampered with and put off, for
If compelled to wait, 1t is never so
| perfect and restful as if taken in its
own natural time and way. The
right side is the best to sleep on, ex-
cept in sp cial cases of disease, and
the position should benearly horizon-
tai. Finally, the evening meal should
be composed of food most easily
digeSted and assimilated, so that the
stomach will have little hard work
to do. A heavy, rich dinner taken
in the evening is one of the things
that murder sleep. Late Suppers with
exciting foods and stimulating drinks
make really restorative sleep next to
impossible. Narcotics are to be avoid
ed, save as used in cases of disease by
competent physicians. The proper
time, according to DR.. Corning, to
treat sleepIessness is in the daytime
and it must be treated by wise and
temperate method Of living rather
than by medicines. This is good com.
mon sense, says the New York Star
from whicn paper we copy, ant
doubtless a vast deal of debility

sanity of our time would he prevent

commandment" said John B. Cough,
"if a man were to fall down and wor-
ship the silk hat, for it is not made
in the likeness OF anything in heay-

which are under the EARTH" Besides
it heats the head and causes the hair
