SONGS V SUNG.

SONGS NEVER SUNG.
"How does that verse run? Something like
this, isn't itp
There are who touch the magic string.
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas! for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in them.'"
''Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true,'
said your representative. 1.-THE poet alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed, and never
get their full allowance Of joy and air. Which
reminds M Of a letter shown me the other day
ID. G. Williams, OF Chapman, Snyder Il Co.,
Pa, a prominent business man Of that place.
He writes:

years, and had a terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. / hardly know what

so, and the first day / took four doses. The
effect astonished me. That night 1 slept as IL
nothing was the matter with me, and have
ever since. / have had colds since, but no
asthma. My breathing is now as perfect as If
l had never known that disease. If you know
OF any one who has the asthma tell him in my
name that PARKER's Tonic will cure it-even
after forty years." There was q man who es-
capped the fate Of those whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PARKER'S GINGER TONIC, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name of
PARKER'S Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is really
an unimportant ingredient, and unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name of ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepare
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands OF dealers, wrapped under the name of
PARKER'S GINGER TONIC contain the genuine
medicine if the facsimile signature Of HISCox

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

One always has time enough if one
will apply it well.
Behavior is a mirror in which every
one shows his image.
The society of women is the element
of good manners.
You cannot bring the best out of a
man unless you believe the best is
somewhere in him.
Every base occupation makes one
sharp in practice, and dull in every
other
There are never in the world two
opinions alike, no more than two hairs
or two grains. The most universal
quality is diversity.
Success soon ralls. The joyous time
is when the breeze first strikes our
sails, and the waters rustic under our
bows.
AS ceremony Is the invention OF
wise men to keep fools at distance,
so good breeding is an expedient to
make fools and wise men equals.
1t is absolutely needful for one to be
humble and prostrated and thrown
among the pots from time to time.
Life is a school; we are peryerse
scholars to the last, and require tho
rod.
To divert at any time a troublesome
fancy, run to thy books. They pres
emily fix thee to drive them, and drive
the other out of thy thoughts. They
always receive thee with the same
kindness.
The world is governed by three
things wisdom, authority and appear
ances. Wisdom for thoughtful people,
authority for rough people, and ap-
pearances for the great mass of
superficial people who can look only at
the outside.

Running For Trims.

The Nedical and Surgical Reporter
cautions those persons who are in the
habit of running for trains against
the practice. Even to one whose heart
is sound, running, when not accustomed
to such hurried movement, is certainly
not beneficial to the delicate cords and
valves of the heart; and should this
organ be diseased, it must prove very
injurious. We all know that violent
and tumultuous action is to be avoided
when the heart is weak, and we alsa
know that running is not the way to
avoid it,
In our own experience, says the
writer, we know several instances
where men who had previously sup
posed themselves to be sound have run
for trains. and getting aboard have
fallen exhausted into seats from which
they never arose. Better miss train
than run the risk of running into the
jaws of death; for this strain on the
heart cannot prove beneficial to one
who is sound, while it is likely to prove
disastrous SIC Wao is weak.

The Prospects of American Boys.

While the American father is
puzzled with what to do with his boys,
the American manufacturer is com
PEELED to go to Europe for skilled work
men-and this suggests that, coupled
with other circumstances of an every
day character, our American boys are
unwilling to go through the drudgery
OF apprenticeship. OF course every
one with common sense sees that we
are making a great mistake in not
preparing ourselves to fill the ranks Of
skilled labor in every department
where it is needed from the ranks Of
our own people, rather than be OBLIGED
TO depend upon our too willing neigh
DOTS across the sea. ---v
One of the banefuf results Of the
American boy growing up into idle
ness and wasting the formative period
of his experience, is patent to all, and
needs no elaboration by example. The
young man who has been taught to
use the hand and eye; who has apti-
tude with fingers and tools, insures his
own livelihood, and such an one has a
great advantage over him who wants
to earn his bread by taking Office
keeping books or selling wares. Does
the skilled artisan harras5 anybody for
work? The thought in the thinking
bayonets of the Germans conquered at
Sedan. In Germany prince and peas
ant must learn a trade. In France
young men pay high for the privilege
of learning some kinds Of trades, be-
sides giving their entire time for seye-
raj years to their employers. In this
country we are drifting away from
the moorings on which industrial SUI
premacy depends. Boston Commercial

Exhilarating Effect of Music.

Burton, in his Anatomy of Melan-
choly," enumerating the virtues OF
music, tells us that, "besides the ex-
cellent power it hath to expel many
other diseases, 1t is a sovereign remedy
against despair and melancholy, and
will drive away the devil himself.
Shakespeare, too, it may be remembered,
mentions music as a remedy for in
sanity in "Richard H." (act ", scene
81, where the king says
This music mads me; let it sound no more.
For though it hath holp madmen to their wits,
In me it seems it will make wise men mad.
In the Philosophical Magozjne for
May, 1906, we find the following state
ment: Several of the medical literati
on the Continent are at present en-
gagged in making inquiries and expert
ments upon the influence of music in
the cure of diseases" and Mr.. Burettq
was of opinion that music has thd
power Of affecting the whole nervous
system 50 as "to give a temporary
relief in certain diseases, and even
radical cure" In modern times
among the well-known instances OF thd
medical powers of music may be men
/ toned the remarkable effect producedi
by Farineli on Philip of Spain. When
this monarch was suffering from the
deepest melancholy, the Queen deter
mined to try the effects of music, and
arranged for Farinelli to sing in a
room adjoining the Kings chamber
Before many days had passed. the
voice Of Farinelli accomplished what
no medicine had succeeded in doing
the restoration of the Kings health.
Mr.. limbs relates the case of deaf
lady who could only hear while a drum
was beating, and so a drummer was
kept in the house for the purpose Of
enabling her to converse. We are
also told how a man in Yorkshire
having lost his senses through some
misfortune, was placed in lunatic
asylum, where, in a short time, the
notes of the violin gradually regained
him his intellect. Illustrations of this
kind have been of frequent occurrence.
and form a frequent as well as inter
esting chapter in the history of medi-

James Carley recently suffered for a
week with a severe headache, says the
Danbury Ne1cs. Every possible rene
dy was resorted to without relief. Fl.
nally one of his shopmates Informed
him that ID. B. Wilkes would cure il
without fail. Mr.. Wilkes, who is a
farmer, received him cordially, aud al
once assured him he could cure hi;
headache. He requested Carley to ac
company him to the cider-mill, which
they entered, and Mr.. Wilkes pulled
out from beneath the press a boz
covered with a coal sieve. From tht
box he took a live black snake and
wound it around Carley's neck, Strangt
as it may seem, almost instantaneously
the pain left his head, and has not re-
turned since. Mr. Carley and his friends
vouch for his cure. Mr.. Wilkes alsC
cures sprains and swellings in the SAINT
way. He explains the matter on the
principle of animal electricity, which he
supposes the snake possesses.
