Sure Cure for Snoring.

There is precisely one cure for suor-
ing, aud it is to Sir Humphrey Davy
that we owe its discovery. That emf
nent scientific person ascertained that
snoring is due to an abnormal vibra-
ton of the cords of the larynx, and
that this vibration occurs only when
the surface of the larynx has become
dry. A man who sleeps with his
mouth open until his larynx has be-
come dry by contact with the atmo-
sphere is sure to snore. Sir Humphry
saw at once that in order to cure
snorer his larynx must be kept moisten-
ed or relaxed. He found by series
OF experiments upon Methodist min
lister of unusual snoring powers that a
piece of CASTLE soap inserted in the
open mouth of the snorer effected an
instant cure and wards off any further
attack of snoring for at least twenty
four hours. Repeated applications of
soap broke up the habit of snoring,
and thus effected permanent cure.
According to Sir Humphry Davy,

moment it comes in contact with the
human tongue which has wonderful
affinity for oxygen. The olive oil be-
ing thus set free, lubricates and relax
es the larynX, while the sodium is for
chilly expelled in the shape of strongly
alkaline language by the snorer, who
awakes the moment the decomposition
of the soap begins. 1t is seldom nec-
essary to administer CASTLE soap more
than three or four times and the most
obstinate case Of snoring known to
medical men was cured with six doses.
1t might be remarked that almost
any variety of soap can be used with
benefit as a remedy for snoring. Cas-
tile soap is, nevertheless, much more
rapid i'll its action than any other va
riety, with the solitary exception of
soft soap. The latter, however, is sell
dom found outside of arm-houses, and
its administration presents certain diff.
culties which will hinder it from ever

The Girl that Everybody Likes,

She is not beautiful-oh,n mol No
body thinks Of calling her that. Not
one of dozen can tell whether her
eyes are black or blue If you should
ask them to describe her, they would
only say, "She is just right" and there
it would end. She is merry hearted,
fun-loving bewitchiug maiden, without
a spark of envy or malice in her whole
composition She enjoys herself and
wants everybody else to do the same.
She has always kind word and
pleasant smile for the oldest man or
woman in fact, l can think of moth
ing she resembles more than a sun
beam, which brightens everything it
comes in contact with. All pay her
marked attention, from rich Mr.. Watts,
who lives In mansion on the hill, to
Sam, the sweep. All look after her
with an admiring eye, and say to
themselves: "She is just the right sort
of girl y The young men of the
town vie with one another as to who
shall show her the most attention but
she never encourages them beyond be
ing simply kind and jolly so no one
can call her flirt no, indeed, the young
men all deny such an assertion as
quickly as she. wonderful to
relate-like her, too; for she never de-
lights in hurting their feelings, or say
ing spiteful things behind their backs.
She is always willing to join in their
little plans and assist them in any way.
They go to her with their love affairs,
and she manages adroitly to see Willie
or Peter and drop good word for
Ida or Jennie, until their little difficult
ties are patched up, and every thing
goes smoothly again-thanks to her.
Old ladies say she is :delighful.' The
sly witch--she knows how to manage
them. She listens patiently to COM
plants of rheumatism or neuralgia, and
then sympathizes with them so heartily
that they are more than half cured.
But she cannot always be with us. A
young man comes from a neIghboring
town, after time, and marries her.
The villagers crowd around to tell him
what prize he has won, but he seems
to know it pretty well without any tell

leaves us, and it is not long before we
hear from that place. She is there the
woman everybody likes. - Christian

Mr.. Springer gives Statistics.
TARIFF ONLY TAXED LUXURIEs is
"GAMMoN."

Congressman William NJ. Springer
spoke in Brooklyn lately on "Working-
men and their Wages. He said
Government can help the laborer
by removing oppressive taxation, by
stopping official peculation. by regu-
lating commerce, and by abolishing the
special privileges of the few. When a
tax is laid on any article the price is
increased. The people say. If tax is
laid on blankets, and the increase in
price inures to the benefit of the maker
of blankets, that increase is paid by all
who use blankets, and thus the many
users are robbed to pay one class.
'"The actual operation of the tariff
on wages is shown in boots and in cot
ton goods. In 1872 $1,000 hands
made S29 pairs of shoes each, and re-
ceived $463 each for the years pay. In
1880, 1000 hands made l,l29 pairs
each, and received only 1887 for the
years pay. In 1870, $4,000 hands
produced $3.50 pounds of cotton goods
each, and received S2SS each for the
years work. In 1880, 1850 hands
produced $500 pounds of goods each,
and got only S243 each for the years
work. Improved processes and growth
of knowledge had increased the power
of individual production but the indi-
vidual wages had been decreased $76
in one case and $40 in the other. The
protective tariff on boots and shoes
was 35 per cent, and on cotton goods
80, aud under this system the capitalist
had added to his capital, while the
employee had his wages cut down"
"The common talk that the tariff
laws taxed luxuries was CANNON" Mr..
Springer said, "Woolen goods of
clean grade, four ounces to the yard.
are taxed 10 per cent. The fine
grades, which only the rich can afford,
are taxed 5S per cent Silks pay 60
per cent. Cheap woollen dress goods
are taxed 99t per cent. while the fine
goods beyond the reach of the poor
are taxed only 43 per cent. These
goods before the war were taxed 10 per
cent.

The Mlserles of a Mean Man.

Sometimes | wonder what a mean
man thinks about when be goes to bed.
When he turns down the light and
lies down. When the darkness closes
in about him and he is alone, and COM
PEELED to be honest with himself. And
not bright thought, not a generous
impulse, not a manly impulse, not a
word of blessing, not grateful look
comes to bless him again. Not pen
ny dropped into the outstretched palm
of poverty, nor the balm of loving
word dropped into an aching heart
no sunbeam of encouragement cast
upon a struggling life, the strong right
hand of fellowship reached out to help
some fallen man to his feet-when
none of these things come to him as
the God bless YOU of the departed
day, how he must hate himself How
be must try to roll away from himself
aud sleep on the other side of the bed!
When the only victory he eau think of
Is some mean victory, in which he has
wronged neighbor. No wonder he
always sneers when he tries to smile.
How pure and fair and good all the
rest of the world must look to him,
and how cheerless and dreary must his
own path appear. Why, even one
long isolated act of meanness is enough
to scatter cracker crumbs in the bed
of the average ordinary man, and what
must be the feelings OF man whose
life is given up to mean acts When
there is so much suffering and head.
ache and misery in the world, anyhow,
why should you add one pound of
wickedness or sadness to the general
burden : Don't be mean, my boy.

than commit it once.

THE Greenback party in Texas is in
trouble because WASH JONES
refuses to countonance it any
longer and says he won't sup
port BUTLER. The truth is WASH
has found out that the Greenback
strength don't amount to as much as
the forty thousand negro vote, and he is
playing for CuiToy in preference to the
q BIS. WASH would jump right into
the Republican fold if he thought he
could get Office by that vote alone, but
he knows that he must capture some
sorehead Democrats, so he will continue
to play fast and loose with the pickanin-
les of all parties. MAHoEE played his
now political game for all it was worth,
and WASH will frd that the better ele-
mcnt of all parties have contempt for
political hypocrisy and cant. Why
should an intelligent people vote for a
man of WASH JONES calibre without a
nlatfOrm
