Pleasant People.

CompaDionable people are those who
have knack of making light of their
tribulations and vexations, and a habit
OF putting them out of sight; who do
not entertain their acquaintances with
the recital of leaky pipe, bad baking,
the children's measles, the shortcomings
of the servants; who know how to keep
their melancholy, if they have any, out
of the conversation; whose nerves do
not furnish them with material for a
morning CALL who are not always on
the lookout for draught, or change
of weather, or slight; who do not
lament their poverty aloud, and make us
feel responsible for it and uncomfortable
amidst our plenty. The companionable
people never seek to make us dissatisfied
with ourselves or our belongings; they
talk about the things we like Ito hear
and are silent upon the subjects on which
we disagree; they do not differ from lis
for the sake of differing, and do not
announce their opinions as if there were
no appeal therefrom.

Bushes and Lies.

"Among the unexploded fallacies must
be reckoned the popular error of making
it incumbent on blush to always follow
| lie.n
1t was popular lawyer who spoke,
man whose face may be seen almost any
time in the criminal court building when
a more than usual interesting malefactor
is on trial, man to whom a large and
varied experience with liars of all sorts
must be conceded.
"Will you elucidate9' said the reporter.
''That 1 will, nv boy. Whenever
hear person testify on the witness stand
l observe two things, whether that per-
son is quiet self-possessed, and glib, or
else embarrassed, easily disconnected,
and led into contradictions. In the first
case, know that no power on earth could
make that person blush, no matter how
untruthful the testimony might be. In the
latter case, though, am aware that blush
will follow blush as the cross-examina-
tion gets more and more lively. Ex-
perienced liars, those who make lying
profitable to them, never blush. They
consider this sign of moral and phys
ica weakness below their dignity. The
fact is that no prevaricator of any mag
nitude at all is ever guilty of blushing.
1t is only the greenhorn in this business
who 'colors when he sees that his lie is
not believed--but only then, not other
wise even with him. The smoothest
and most accomplished liars are found
not among the female sex as another
widespread error will have it, but among
the males. You see, it takes more than
ordinary strength of character, very
good memory, and logical mind to
carry through successfully system OF
avoiding the truth Now, that is where
the ladies are deficient. They can tell
beautiful lies on the spur of the mo-
ment with all the apparent candor of
a white souled priestess of Vesta, but
they cannot be consistent about it, nor
can they evolve in their logical sequence
one lie after the other till perfectly
formed pyramid of them has been built
up, on the apex of which their placidly
slumbering conscience may gracefully
recline."
81 think you are rather hard on the Ia
dies there, said the newspaper man, who
recalled some very brilliant exploits by
women IN this particular line.
"Trust me, know whereof I am
speaking. AS for their capacity not to
blush when disgusting the facts, the
women compare very favorably with the
men, but not in the above points. And
as for blushing generally, I've found that
you very rarely will meet a liar above the
age of twelve who will blush under any
consideration. In fact, the most bare
faced, cold blooded liars, combining ef-
frontery with skill, are to be encountered
in the youth of this land, both sexes
sharing alike in the honor. There is
another curious fact ought to mention.
1t concerns my own profession. While
lawyer pleading before a judge, or
when dealing with his clients or brother
attorneys, is a man justly reputed for his
judicious mendacity, he strangely enough
lacks that quality if, by chance, he is
put on the witness stand. / know it
happened to me that way last year in the
D. trial, and quite astonished my
self ha! ha hal"- Chicago Neos.

Methods OF Chinese Doctors.

The employment of acupuncture and
cauterization by Chinese doctors forms
the subject of an article in one of the
last numbers of the North China Her ID
A native public writer not long since
claimed that skillful physician in this
department of medicine could cure such
diseases as imbecility, fits, cholera, etc.
The principle of cauterization is simply
that of Contamination, and the Eng
lish writer bears personal testimony to
its efficacy in the case of slight sun.
stroke, although the operator was sim
pie Manchu peasant and instrument a
couple of copper coins. Very extraor-
dinary cures are attributed to acupunc-
ture by the Chinese. 1t is first performed
in the hollow of the elbow of each arm.
If the puncture draws blood there is no
danger, but if no blood appears the case
is regarded as very grave. But before
abandoning the sufferer puncture of the
abdomen is tried. Seizing handful of
flesh, the operator drives the needle right
through it, and then draws it backward
and forward few times. If the patient
manifests any sense of pain, or if any
blood is drawn, a poultice of eggs and
buckwheat flour is applied over the pune
ture, and recovery is regarded as almost
certain; but if no pain is felt and no
blood flows the case is declared hopeless,
and the sufferer is left to die. The case
is then quoted of young Chinese, edu-
Gated abroad, who was attacked with
cholera; his extremities became cold,
and cramp set in in somewhat alarming
manner. The barber surgeon who was
called in commenced by running needle
into the pit of the patients stomach, a
jet of very dark blood following; he
then punctured the calf, the two breasts,
and the forehead of the sufferer, freeing
certain quantity of blood each prick.
The relief is said to be instantaneous,
and in two days recovery was complete.
The Chinese explanation of this treat
ment is that, when the blood is in the
poisoned condition which induces the
choleraic symptoms, it becomes thick,
and accumuates in certain portions Of
the body. A clever surgeon knows ex.
actly how to put his finger on the par
ticular spots, and, by skillfully "open-
ing the mouth of the heart" as the
operation is called, sets free the poisoned
fluid which causes all the mischief. 1t
is noteworthy that faith in the efficacy
of this mode of treatment is not confined
to the masses, but is shared by Chinese
who have been abroad and have had am
pie experience of western medical prac-

WISE WORDS.

Wear a cheerful countenance. If your
mirror won't smile on you, how can you
expect anybody else villa
Public discussion is an intellectual
stamping mill, where the worthless quartz
is crushed and the pure gold set free.
1t is much easier to find O score of men
wise enough to discover the truth than
to find one intrepid enough, in the face
Of opposition, to stand UP against it.
Great talent for conversation should be
attended with great politeness. He who
eclipses others, owes them great civili-
lies; and whatever mistaken vanity
may tell us, it is better to please in con-
versation than to shine in it.
1t is of the essence of resource that it
usually lies dormant, and often unsus-
pected, until necessity awakens it. 1t is
n draft pay able on demand, the very de-
mand being essential to create the assets.
In a word, it needs the ''power of the
moment" to evoke the 'power Of the
man. +"
The supreme gifts of the gods can
neither be discussed nor deserved. Be-
ieve in happiness; expect it, make room
for it in your life Have faith! Faith
moves mountains. And happiness is of
the swift-footed immortals, and descends
only on the garlanded altars of her wor'
shippers.
Intelligence and energy and eonscien-
iousness, all united, can never evolve
true justice if sympathy be absent from
The heart. This is no merely abstract
and impractical idea. 1t lies at the root
of moral education and self fculture, for
it declares that just conduct depends
upon right feelings, and cannot be de-
veloped without them.
To feel with and for others what a
glorious widening out and enriching of
ones life that isl How it increases our
joys because of the pleasure that we take
in the joys of others! How it renders
B%ish brooding over our own woes inn
possible because of the sympathy we
must give to the sorrows of others! Not
generosity only, not kind-heartedness
only, nor courtesy nor unselhshness, nor
keen perception, nor quick understand
ing-it is all these and more than these.
We should never estimate the sound
ness of principles by our own ability to
defend them, or consider an objection as
unanswerabe to which we can find no
reply. 1t is an absurd self-confdence,
especially in young person, to abandon
his principles as soon as he may find him
self worsted in argument. There is no
defence against flippant sophistry so eff
fectual as an intelligent modesty. In
deed genuine firmness of mind consists
greatly in an habitual recollection of our
own moderate powers and requirements.

fact. 1t consisted of number of
globular glasses set in a revolving mo-
tion on their center, and while they
were in motion their rims were touched
with the operators finger, when a soft
and beautiful sound was produced. A
young lady by the name of Miss Davis
became perfect performer on the har-
monica, and appeared in Europe and
throughout America in 1866. No i'm

harmonica, and it has sunk into oblivion,
