DIR. Rassori treats neuralgia in q
novel way. He applies a tuning fork,
while vibrating, over the course cpf the
painful nerve. The sitting usually lasts
about half an hour, and the patient is
generally relieved without further treat

Small f1y-wheels, cast hollow and
loaded with lead, is a foreign notion
that promises to become popular in this
country. They afford the same centri-

less, and take up less room.-M. Y.

Professor Remsen, of Johns Hop
kirs University, says Of gas, that, as
special attention should be given to the
question of the odor. An inodorous
gas containing carbonic oxide, whether
one or thirty per cent. would be q very
dangerous thing.
: -Gas-pipes are made of hemp paper,
and it possesses many advantages over
the ordinary material. 1t is cheaper,
and is not so liable to be broken. The
pipes SO made are smooth and absos
lutely tight, and, when the sides are
scarcely three-ffths of an inch thick,
resist a pressure of more than fifteen
atmospheres. They are bad conductors

RECOMPENSE.

When life's pilgrimage is over and its caro'
and troubles end,
Ere we enter the aark valley whittier all oul
footsteps tend,
How twill cheer those solemn moments i
we feel that this Ia true.
That the world Is some way better for oul
having travelled through;
Some of It's sorrows lessened, some Of ia
darkness turned 10 day,
Some of its thorns uprooted, some Of ii
burdens rolled away.
Then az memories of other years come surg
ing DER the soul,
And on the record Of the past we read, a'
on living scroll,
The words that we have spoken and III,
deeds that We have done.
Though no earthly praise was given, nc
earthly honors won,
The good seed we have scattered, though
but little, in His name,
Will be garnered in harvest Of heavenly
acclaim.
As our day draws near its closing and the
gloomy shadows fall,
Than mems praises and earth's treasures,
far more precious than they all
Will the thought be that the Master, our Re-
deemer, waiting stands
With ''well done" on his lips and crown
within his hands;
Then the bread cast on the waters will re-
turn thousand-fold,
In the bliss of life eternal, in the joys that
are untold.

Wives Speaking of Husbands.

Says the Pail Mall Gazette: What
ought wife to call her husband in
speaking to third person? Should
she say ''my husband or should she
use the surname without any prefix
Gas Mrs. Carlyle used to talk Of
Carlyle ),or should she adopt another
plan Of that lady's, and speak, as it
were, of "Mr. C.?" Perhaps it is q
matter of indifference in England /;
but in France woman's usage in the
matter is taken Us test Of breeding.
In the provinces, itseems, wives speak
of their husbands as monsieur, "as If
their particular monsieur were
superior to all others. Or perhaps
they think this style expresses an in
difference indicative OF "bon ton"
'my husband" they imagine, would
be vulgar. With the polite world Of
Paris, on the contrary, my husband"
is accepted as the proper phrase,
subject to two exceptions A very
affectionate wife may speak of her
husband by the Christian name, while
after certain age any other style
except the surname with the prefix
monsieur" is held to be ridiculous,
and sign of Experimentation"

The Truth Ahont Alcohol.

Some OF the recent Investigations
az TO the effect OF alcohol on animal
vitality are very interesting. From
experiments made in France upon
pigs it would seem that those ami
mails are not injured as are human
beings by constant stimulation. II
is settled that the larger the brain
the greater the danger from the use
of ardent spirits. Pigs, having very
small brains, are in no danger of de
lirium tremens, and possibly some
brutal men with coarse organizations
can drink great quantities OF liquor
without any immediate bad effects,
but the larger the brain and the more
delicate the organization the more
serious the injury. 1t is the highest
type Of man whom alcohol Injuries the
most From Dsmorests Monthly

GlYlng Women Q Chance.

The famous University of Oxford
has now followed the example Of
Cambridge, London and other great
English universities in permitting wo-
men to secure the advantages OF the
highest education. They are not yet
allowed the same prizes rs the male
students, but this will doubtless
come in time. In this vital matter
of the higher culture Of women, the
English universities are far ahead of
Harvard, Yale or Columbia in this
country, which is humiliating con-
fession for an American to make,
The Methodist conference that met
in New York recently decided by q
vast majority not to license women to
preach or exhort They may minis
fer to the sick and suffering, but they
must not occupy the pulpit. It will
be remembered that the government
of the Methodist denomination is
confined to the ministers, the laity
having nothing to say in regard to
church affairs. A conference of min
listers ought to be unselfsh, just, and
public-spirited; but practically the
Methodist conference is trades
union of pastors In action they are
Just as unfair and selfish rs are the
doctors, or brick-layers. They will
not permit the competition of women,
if they can help it From Demo-
rests Monthly for July.

"There," she said, as she raised 4
window in Pullman car the other
day, ''now ! can breathe. The air in
this car is sitting. Why don't they
have better ventilationf If I could
not sit next an open window I believe
I should die"
Presently slender female sitting
directly back leaned over and asked
her il she wouldn't just as lieve
close that window now, a. the draught
was more than she could stand.
mo, madam, 1 shall not close this
window, I could not live with it
down. I was just thinking how de-
lightful it was with il open, now you
want it shut but shall not shut it |;

"Then your are q selfish thing, and
I shall have to change my seat"
just then q gentleman sitting close
by leaned over and and said "La-
dies, that window being raised makes
no difference, as this car has double
windows, and not one breath Of air
can possibly get through the one that
is still down.
Then the one that had raised the
window turned to the other, and,
with crushed look on her face, said:
MADAM, I beg your pardon, but !
think two fools have met at last.

into partnership with Willy and the
doctor. Their letters set before us Q
very vivid picture of the struggles
and difficulties OF young ranchmen
For some years yet, Mr.. Hughes says
the brothers will have Ito put in all
their time on the ranch; !" but they
don't mean for all that to abandon
their own tastes and fancies. Willy
still sticks Mt spare moments to his
fiddle; Chico to his palette, the
doctor TO his science. "They believe
that whatever is really essential to
the life of a cultivated gentleman may
be had in due time on Texas farm.
That of course, is Mr.. Hughes's g
prime article of faith, the one which
he has tried to put into practice on
the large scale at Rugby, Tenn. And
no doubt in principle heis quite right.
Culture is something internal and
indefeasible-a thing SO implicitly
bound up in the very fiber of mans
moral and intellectual nature that it
follows him through all changes and
varieties of mere external comfort
and appliances. A cultivated gentle
man can not take his civilization with
him TO q desert island, but he can
not help taking his culture. Still,
the danger is that this doctrine may
be misinterpreted. Young men who
have not and never could have any
grain of culture themselves will prob
ably be sent out largely, on the
strength of Mr.. Hughes's implied
recommendation, to lounge about the
miserable saloons of San Antonio and
Austin. We fear there will be great
exodus of ne 'er do-wells to Texas dur
ing the next three years; how large
proportion of the gentleman emf
grants, we wonder, could ever have
saved money like Willy, painted
pictures like Chico, or taken West
minister scholarships like the doctor ?
Young men ought to make sure
before they set out whether the Texas
to which they wish to emigrate is
Captain Myne Reds imaginary hunt
ing-ground or Mr.. Hughes's sober
land of realistic shanties and laborious
sheep-farming.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE

me the first information of the result
of the convention lately held by the
Democracy of the nation, and yet

influence of the stern reality which
the present surroundings create. that
I have been chosen to represent the
plans, purposes and the policy of the
Democratic party, 1 am profoundly
impressed by the solemnity of the
occasion and by the responsibility of
my position. Though l gratefully
appreciate it, I do not, at this moment,
congratulate myself upon the disting-
uished honor which has been con-
ferred upon ME, because my mind is
full of an anxious desire to perform
well the part which has been assigned
to me. Nor do I, at this moment,
forget that the rights and interests
of more than fifty millions of my
fellow citizens are involved in our
efforts to gain Democratic supremacy.
This reflection presents to my mind
the consideration which more than
all others gives to the action of my
party in convention assembled its
most sober and serious aspect. The
party and its representatives which
ask to be intrusted at the hands of
the people with the keeping of all
that concerns their welfare and their
safety should only ask it with the full
appreciation of the sacredness Of the
trust and with a firm resolve to
administer it faithfully and well. /
