a. and Drink

When John Howard, the philan-
thropist, was dying of fever he said to
his friend, Admiral Freshman: "AIy
mode of life has rendered it impossi-
BILE that I-should get rid of this fever.
Ii ] had lived as you do, eating hearth
ly of animal food and drinking wine,
I might, perhaps, by altering my diet,
be able to subdue it. But how can
such a man as I am lower his diet, who
has been accustomed for years to live
on water and vegetables, alittle bread
and a little tea? have no method Of
lowering my nourishment, and there
fore | must die. It is such jolly fell
lows as you, Priestman, that get over
these fevers."
An English magazine says: "Nhat
do temperance people and v~egetarians
think of these wordsg" and adds that
they mean ''that vegetarianism and
total abstinence kept him too weak to
resist illness"
As a matter of fact this may have
been so, but Towards words prove
just the contrary. They prove only
that he was governed only by the rad
ical notions of his day; believed that a
fever required depletion by meager
diet and blood letting, whereas the
modern notion is just the reverse.
Fever patients need highly concen-
trated food and stimulants of all kinds
Hence it is that patients accustomed
to plain living and the moderate use OF
alcohol or to total abstinence are more
susceptible than others to the effects OF
stimulants when they are required. II
is your shigh-ligers' and "old soakers'
that are when ill not easily rescued by
stimulants. For the stimulants have
lost their effect.-Detro5t Free Press.

BslE Nye o.. Moaeym Architecture,

-BtN Kue 0ss Modern Architecture.
Ii may be premature, perhaps, but |
desire to suggest to any one who may
be contemplating the erection Of a,
summer residence for ME, as a slight
testimonial of his regard for my sterIl
ing worth and symmetrical escutchi
coma testimonial more suggestive
of earnest admiration and warm per-
sonal friendship than Of great intrinsic
value, etc,-that / hope he will not
construct it on the modern plan of
mental hallucination and morbid delir-
ium tremens peculiar to recent ar
chitecture. Of course, a man ought
not to look a gift house in the gable
end, but if my friends don't know me
any better than to build me a summer
cottage and throw in odd windows
that nobody else wanted, and then
daub it up with colors that they have
bought at auction and applied to the
house after dark with a shot gun, j
think it is time that we had a better
understanding. Such a structure does
not come. within either of the three
classes of renaissance. 1t is neither
Florentine. Roman, nor Venetian.
ANY man can originate such q style of
architecture if he will drink the right
kind of whiskey long enough, and then
describe his feelings to an a~manuensis.
Imagine the sensation that n of
these modern, sawed-off cottages
would create a hundred years from
now, ii it should survive! But that is
impossible. The only cheering fea-
ture of the whole matter is that these
creatures of a disordereI imagination
must soon pass away, and the bright
sunlight of hard horse~sense shine in
through the shattered dormers and
gables and gnaWed-of architecture of
the average summer resort. A friend
of mine, a few days ago, showed ME
his new house with much pride. He
asked me what [ thought of it.
told him / liked it irst-rate. Then
went home and wept all night. 1t was
my first falsehsod.

FOR Good


Mrs. A. M. Dauphin of 1899 Ridge Ave-.
Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies of
that city from the great good she has done by
means Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a
recent interesting case. "a young married
lady came to me suffering with a. severe case
of %Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months was
fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself i'll an interesting condition. In
fuenced by foolish friends she Attempted to
evade the responsibilities of maternity. After
ten or twelve days she came to me again and
she was indeed in Il most alarming state and
suffered terribly. Igave her q tablespoonful
Of the compound every hour for eight hours
until she feel asleep, she awote much relieved

timely use OF the medicine she believes her

The Tariff.

There are two kinds of t~axes-direct
and indirect. One species of indirect
taxation is what is styled the "Inter-
nal Revenue" which taxes domestic
evils, like the liquor trade, and yields
the Government an immense sum.
But its fayorite and most profitable
indirect device is the Tariff"
Upon certain products and manufac,
brought to our shores from other lands
it lays a duty" or tax. and that duty
must be paid to the proper Govern
ment officials (called "custom-officers'
or scustom house officers") before the
things can be sold in this country. On
every pound of figs brought to this
country, the Government, through its
"custom-ofHcers," collects two cents.
States and slate-peneils from abroad
must pay thirty cents for every dollar
of their worth. When you buy these
things, remember you are paying much
more than actual values. A part OF
the excess goes into the treasury OF
the United States as a duty" or Gin
direct tax" for. of course, the dealer
who imports these articles inclrd Q
this extra cost in the price charged the
purchaser. You little folk have per-
haps ne idea how much you contribute
every year to defray the expenses OF
our grand republic! Dolls and toys not
made in this country must pay thirty
five cents or every dollar of their
value! Bonnets, hats, and hoods, fol-
men, women, and children; canes and
walking-sticks; brooms, combs, jewel.
ry, precious stones, musical instru-
ments of all kinds, playing-cards
paintings, and statuary,-these arr
also roughly jostled by this uncoutf
law.
I should state, however, that al
articles from abroad are not taxed
There is what is known as tho SIRE,
List" on which are placed certain i'm
ports exempt from duty, such as nu1
yomica, assafoetida, charcoal, diyi-divi
dragons blood, Bologna sausages, eggs
fossils, and other articles! But TIN
great bulk of important staples uset
In everyday life does not come within
this favored class. Chemical products
earthenware and glassware; metals
wood and woodenWares; sugar; tobacco
provisions; cotton and cotton goods
hemp. jute, and flax goods; wool ant
woolens; silk and silk goods; books
papers. etc; and sundries,-thus end
the Tariff List-St Nicholas

ties Ants, Insects, Rats & Mice, 15&25c. boxes.
The arrangements of odeions. Or par
tially-covered theatres for festive musical
representations in Greece, appear to have
preceded, and in some degree influenced,
the architecture of the theatres. The
oldest known example of these structures
is the Skias in Sparta. "a circular building
provided with a pitched roof, which was
probably built In accordance with forms
customary in Asia Minor, as a Samian
architect was called from Samos to SUI
perintend it's erection. The odeion upon
the Illissos, near Athens, appears to have
been of similar disposition; and. like
the former, constructed chiefly of wood.
Much of the popular delusion concern
:ng snakes is c~ontradicted by Rheem, OF
the Smithsonian institute. The veno-
nous heopsnake, which takes its tail III
its mouth and rolls along like q hoop,
and the blowsnake, the breath OF which
is deadly, exist only Il the imagination.
The idea that serpents sting with the
tongue is An impression pre-
walls that the number of poisonous snakes
ia great. but i'm North America there are
but three species-the r~attlesnake, the
copperhead or moccasin and the coral.
Snakes do not jump; they reach sudden.
ly forward-perhaps half the length OF
their bodies.
The making of cheese is a very i'm.
portant occupation, and in some parts OF
| Switzerland, the VaIais, for instance, the
riches of d man are estimated according
TO the number of cheeses he possesses.
A strange custom in the Valais is to
make a cheese when a child is born,
which is left untouched during his Life
time, and is often cut into for the first
time at his funeral feast. A rich man
stores up wine as well as cheese for his
own funeral, and when that event takes
place q goblet of this tsdeadwine,n as il
Is called, is placed on the coffin, the
mourners approach, lake the goblet il
their hand, touch the coffin with it, ane
drink the contents to . future meeting
with their departed friend.
