Trifiing with Human Life.
Kew york Cor. philadelnbia Press.1

lNeW 1OrR SOr. HulldQ6IpQla HT6SSsJ
A doctor can do great deal of hum
bugging but If he is conscientious man
he will not trife with human life and
the practice of medicine requires great
and constant study. A doctor should
not lose single point. He must keep
up with inquiry and investigation. He
must know every new experiment and
discovery, and he, must be ready for
everything that may happen to human
species. SO doctor must work.
Take an actor: What is he to do but
keep his wits about him and work? Re-
hearsing half the day, playing in-one
night towns and travelling (the hardest
of work when it is not for pleasure
more or less constantly, he has no FOOLS
errand before him. See how hard it IS
to rise in such a crowded profession.
How few reach the rank of poor Nc
Cullough Then the bad cooking and
the bad beds in bad hotels, the miser-
able dressing-rooms, the drafts of wind
on the stage.
How about the newspaper man? What
jolly time he has, you think. Yes, let
me tell you. In the first place he has
got to know what's wanted by the pub
lie; then be competent to prepare it;
then know where to find it, and, finally,
undergo the great labor of preparing
it, for what newspaper man does must
be done on the instant. He can't think
over thing for half day and then
take another one to prepare 1t. Those
great steam presses, the eager newsboys,
the mails that you can't delay care
nothing for thinking. They want re-
suits, and if you get your living through
a newspaper you have got to work for
it, and if you rise to eminence in it
you must do two mems work, two
mems thinking. or have two mems luck.
1t is no agreeable matter to sc TO the
Office in the morning and find that you
have made bad mistake in the haste
of daily journalism, and you don't want
to meet your editor or your subordin-
ate if you have failed to get what your
competitor got and which you ought to
have had.

Funeral Stories.
from the Ph,ladelpJ,ia Time

from the Phlladelphia Times.l
Some people attend every funeral
they can hear of, simply because they
have mania for doing, so, and many go
to enjoy the drive to and from the
grave. knew one old lady of the latter
class who would 60 to every funeral in
her ueighborhood and would weep over
the corpse so profusely and descant
upon the deceased virtues so eloquent
ly that the undertaken would infallibly
feel it his bounden duty to ask her name
and have it put down in one of the best
places on the carriage list. You know
Sydney Smith says: "For the heartiest
mirth and jollity in the world, commend
me to the last carriage at funeral"
Speaking of humor in connection
with funerals, remember burying the
wife of prominent iron manufacturer
who never lost any opportunity to adj
vertise his business. He purchased a
lot IN a cemetery which I need not
name, and surrounded it with very
ornamental fence of his own manufact-
ure. After I had laid his good lady to
rest within it, he erected to her memory
a handsome tombstone, on which were
carved these words: "Here lies Mrs.
Annie B, wife of Robert B,
proprietor of the-iron- works, where
the elegant fence around this lot was
manufactured. Similar ones made to
order.

"Tipping'' Walters.
from London Truth.]


An American writes to the London
Times to say that tips are not usual at
American hotels. This was once the
case, but it has long since ceased to be
SO, and tips are as recognized an insti-
tuition across the Atlantic as they are
on this side of it. Periodically an cutlery
by our newspapers is raised against the
system, but it is improbable that much
is gained. One is expected to tip in
every hotel, both at home and abroad, a
chambermaid, waiter, and the porter
ct the door. On the continent the lat
ter is generally man of considerable
wealth. He receives percentage upon
every carriage or cab that is hired. In
many continental hotels, too, the head
waiter farms the waiting, finding all
subordinates, to whom ne pays wages,
and from he receives all tips given to
them. Some years ago it was suggested
that there should be fixed charge for
service in lieu of tips. The hotel-keep-
ers at once assented, and charged this
item in their bills. The tips, however
go on as before. Consequently, it is
better to bear the ills we have than to
attempt to remedy them. In many
English restaurants the walters show
their intelligence by the mode in which
they add up accounts. Soup, sir, !"
says the waiter, zone shilling; chop, a
shilling-two and sixpence. Cheese :?
No cheese three shillings." I have
often been amused at listening to these
ready-reckoners.

THE wAYoF THE WORLD.


In the dreamy L ght of an August day
Under an apple tree,
We sat together, my love and l.
Ny love who loved not me;
And a shadow crept over the mountain gray
And nthe grass, like a warning lay
The wrath of Never to be.'
But why should we heed it, my love and I
This shadow on the plain?
The sun came over the fields and hills
To gid the waving grain;
But the Summer-winds came all chidingly by,
And whispered low to the bending rye,
After the pleasure the pain"
But my love will have the pleasure, know
THE oil, and corn, and wine
And will carry the pain for aye,
Without word or sigu.
But the sun faded out in a dull, dead glow
When lost my love, and loved her So
Ny love who never was mine.
Over the river and over the plain,
Over the billowy sea,
/ carry face in my heart of hearts
My lore arhO loUed not me.

Another Life Saved,

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati Ohio,
whites: 'Early last winter my daughter was
attacked with a severe cold, which settled on
her lungs. We tried several medicines, none OF
which seemed to do her any good, but she con-
tinued to get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We called
in family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. At this time friend who had been
cured by DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
advised me to give it atrial. We got bottle.
and she began to improve, and by the use of
three bottles was entirely cured" ~ -

Growing Stoutness Of American Women

GROWING StOutneSS OF American Women.
My recent visit to some of the noted
watering-places, and my observation OF
several large audiences since my re-
turn, has impressed me once more with
the belief that the thinness and angu-
larity of American women, so much
commented on by Europeans in the
past, is fast becoming traditional. They
seem to be competing for fullness, not
to say stoutness, with their Old World
sisters, who almost universally acquire
an excess of flesh with the passage of
their youth. It is remarkable how few
native women, out of girlhood, one
meets nowadays, in the large cities, that
have preserved their slenderness. TWEEN
ty years ago a round, plump figure was
almost the exception. Now the ex-
ception seems to be the other way. The
increasing avoirdupois of the daughters
of the nation is too conspicuous to be ig-
nored. It is probably due to the growth
of wealth, and, Therefore, of ease and
luxurious habits in the community

of magnesia, 20 per cent. of silica, and
over per cent. of carbon. This is a
good showing for corn cobs, and they
are consequently valuable for fertilizine
purposes when burned and the ashes
carefully saved. One ton of ashes is
worth about $50, and this is high figure
compared with other fertilizers. Not
only should corn cob ashes be saved,

ashes because they are the most valu-
able of all, and are also more generally
