as If we were taking some backward

pretending to be a temperance paper,
has turned its influence against us and
talked about us numerically, because
We are determined that We will agitate

The celebrated English Psychologist,
DIR. Carpenter, has proposed a sub
stan:ially new version of the gem the
ory of diseases. He believes, from
observations based upon the mutability
of bacilli, that the same germs may
produce different diseases in different
constitutions: theory that is corrobo-
rated, if not confirmed, by recent OBJ
servations, which show that the bacte-
rio of the typhoid fever aud malaria are
of the same description.

To avoid rail way restrictions upon the

The administration of totally inert substances

taking medicine is a common practice. The

bread when given to o patient with the remark
that they are a certain powerful emetic have
been known to produce an instantaneous effect
1t is even said that a person drinking sarapa-
rilla with suicidal intent, imagining that it is so
much laudanum, might easily die. The vigor-
GUS concurrence of the will with the action OF
the medicine is one of the best allies a physician
or surgeon can have.
A remarkable illustration of the imagination as
a doctor was made a few months ago in this city.
A patient was afflicted with q collection of hys-
terical symptoms and disorders Of the nerves,
which are usually cured by a dangerous opera
ton, involving the laying open OF the whole alb
dominal region. A number of books treating
more or less on the efficacy of the operation
were thrown in her way, and finally she was told
that it was to be performed. Her physician, who
suspected thatithe disease was imaginary, made
ample preparations for deeeiviug her. Ons Ger
tain day four surgeons went to the house armed
with big bags, supposed to contain instruments.
The patient was put under the influence of
ether. after a good deal of parade. and a long
incision was made, just about skin deep. Then
the incision was bandaged up, and the patient
was kept for a long time under morphia Elabo.
rate dressings were gone through with every day.
Although no operation was performed, the pa
tient was completely cured.

II is but a short time since men of means in
this city were building very large and expensive
houses, and filing them with costly furniture
and rare bric-a- brac, much of which cost fabu,
Ious sums to import To-day, however, one docs
not hear so much of this extravaganza, aud
many persons who a snort time ago thought
they had sufficient means to take them through
life comfortably and leave a residuum for their
children, are economizing in many ways. More
or less of the accessories of the establishment
are dispensed with. First a horse or two is dis
posed of, and then the butler steps out, madam
finding that her maid or second girl can very
we'll attend to his indoor duties. Then more
economy is p~racticed in necessary purchases,
and the cook is cautioned about waste or extrav-
agance in the culinary department. And so it
goes on, every one hoping that it may not be far
in the future before the dividend-paying stocks
and investments will be upon a safe basis, upon
the income of which they may with safety return
to- their former style and mode of living.

A Strange Mania.


Few York Letter in Albany Journal.
There has just died in this city q man who
fxedly believed that he was the devil. His
name was Goldberg, and he was a performer of
sIeights. He was a magician, according to both
his show-bills and his own conceit. He had a
marvellous dexterity in the deceptive handling of
cards, and his tricks with them were far better
than those of any of the more celebrated show
men whom I raVe ever seen; but he was not
equally expert in devising or handling such
mechanism as made the fame. of Anderson. the
wizard, nor was he the. entertaining talker which
we remember Heller TO have been. The conse-
auence was that Goldberg gained little pros
perity, and remained a mere card manipulation
until his mental vagaries brought him to a luna
tic asylum I remember that, during the last
summer in which he was sufficiently sane to be
left at large, he gave exhibitions in the hotel
parlors Mt country resorts. While at Long
Branch the gamblers who run the great helis
became acquainted with his sieight- Of hand
abilities. None of them, however, though they
were in the dishonest manipulation Of cards,
could either initiate or understand the tricks
which he showed them. Charley Reed, manager
of one of the club houses, took him ABIDE and said
TO him, Goldberg, how much did you make out
of the show You gave in the Ocean House parlor
to-dayf' 'Ot, the collection amounted to SIG,

Hints About Choosing Glasses that May

There ia q great difference In the price of eye
glasses and spectacles,H an ~opticisn said. "YOu
can buy a pair Of eye glasses for fifteen cents,
while a pair that looks exactly like them will
cost you 81. The difference between them is
ruin his sight, while the other will materially
aid it,"
What makes the difference in value9s
''Tho quality of the glass and the amount of
work used in polishing them. The cheap ones
are generally made of very common glass, and
are by no means perfect. Sometimes there are
bubbles in them, and sometimes there are wavy
lines You have looked through w~indow-giass
that distorted everything, havn't youa Well, just
imagine taking such kind of glass to improve
your sight with. Persons are not half careful of
their eyes, and the sight OF thousands of persons
has been injured by using bad and unsuitable
glasses. Poor quality glasses are injurious
enough, but when a person looks through glasses
that are both poor in quality and in no way fitted
to improve his sight he runs a terrible risk"
Cannot one tell if the glasses help himp
ut depends on circumstances. If q man finds
chat he is getting far-sighted and tries on a pair
of far-Sightcd glasses. and they make him see
better at the time, he is apt to buy them.
They may, however, be too old, and thus strain
his sight; or, they may be too young for him, and
lie does not receive tho benefit that he should.
By going to a. first rate optician his sight would
be tried in a proper manner, and he would get
Just the right kind Of glasses. 1t Is a very false
economy to buy cheap glasses. I've seen a man
stop at a stand in the street and buy a pair of
glasses for a quarter, just by trying them on and
looking at Il newspaper Lots of persons eyes
are not of the same strength, and ought to have
glasses of different strength in the same frame.
If n man with eyes of this character gets a ready
made pair OF spectacles he is going to suffer"

More women swear than is generally supposed.
They try to be alone when they indulge in this
sort of relief, and, therefore, proof against them
is hard 10 obtain. Many a husband would be as
tonished if he could hear some Of the express
ions that once in a while escape his wife in mo-
ments of sore domestic trial. Few women be-
gin with regular swear words. They become
profane gradually. When a woman begins to
say ''coufound it, and 'durn it," let any person
overhesring her administer at once a strong cau-
ton. From these comparatively innocent ont
bursts may grow a round, plump oath that Will
get fatter and fatter, and be followed by others,
until the Boor woman becomes as bad as her
husband Let all woTnankind beware of the
first small euss word, no matter how harmless it
may seem.
