The Face of Audiences,

An eminent lecturer declares that
all audiences are about alike to him
He enters at eight o'clock the
public hall, and finds a circle of
humanity coiled around him just like
the one he saw in some other hall on
the previous night. Our experience is
different We find no two audiences
alike Each one is different from all
the others as one mans face varies
from another's physiognomy. Some
audiences are duh. In the village we
find poor schools or stupid churches or
unenterprising newspapers Everything
is profoundly silent save as a cough or
a sneeze interrupts one. The stolidity
of the assembly reacts upon the lecturer.
While you are speakingyou look at your
watch You begin to measure off your
lecture with less interest than the
merchant measures yard of cashmere.
You say to yourself, Half through
''Three-fourths through Five min
utes more and | may quit" And you
close your manuscript, shake hands
with the treasurer, and go out. At
another place the audience beam upon
you as YOU enter. Everybody seems
to say, "Welcome to our town! We all
are waiting for you. Now do your
best. If you have any wisdom or wit,
fling it over this way" Your smallest
joke goes off like pack of Fourth of
July fire-crackers. Your poorest lecture
catches enthusiasm from the good
natured audience. You feel as if you
were in your own parlor talking with
group of college chums. The hour
and-a-half seems to you only like
twenty minutes, and after shaking
hands with men, women and children,
you are so well pleased, that the com
mercial part of your engagement seems
most insignificant. You got your pay
before you came to the peroration.
Let audiences know that ofttimes they
are responsible for the stupidity
of speaker The attempt to build a
fire among green wood makes smoke,
but no blaze

The Increase of Insanity.

Boston supports 800 insane, says Mr..
T. b. Sanborn, not IS of whom will re-
covert
This is frightful! Insanity has in
creased 40 per cent. in decade and
most of the cases are incurable. What
ever the individual cause may be, the
fact remains that Uric Acid blood sets
the brain on fire, destroys its tissues,
and then comes some form of fatal lun-
acy.
Nothing is so pitiable as mind dis
eased. Most brain troubles begin IN
the stomach; then if the blood Is filled
with uric acid, caused by failure of
kidney action, and the consequent de-
slruction of the blood life-albumen-
YOU have the fuel and the flame and q
brain in full blaze as when one raves,
or in slow combustion, as in milder
forms of insanity. Rev. +. ID. Hop
kins, of St. Johnsbury, VT, few years
ago was confined in an asylum. He
took terrible cold while aiding in put
ting out a fire IN a neighbours burning
house, and for twenty-five years that
cold was slowly filling his blood with
uric acid and finally the deadly work
was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warner's safe cure
and recovered That was three years
ago and having ridden his blood of all
surplus uric acid, he has remained well
until this day.
Ii is indeed a terrible thing to lose
ones mind, but it is more terrible
thing to suffer such condition when it
can be so easily prevented.

Girls who Catch Trout.

Looking across the stream | saw
a pretty sight. There stood a bright
young girl of not more than Is summers.
Her dress was sort of bloomer suit of
blue flannel, and fitted her to nicely.
Rich chestnut hair hung loosely down
her back, and made little ripples in
the wind. A jaunty cap to match ner
costume was perched upon her head.
With an earnest, steadfast look in her
dark eyes she was watching the flies
that she drew across the water. The
flies lighted on the surface of the river
as lightly as fairy creatures, and skit-
cred across the water as if imbued with
life. The young girls fish were landed
with the ease of an adept. The goodly
sized ones she placed in a neat basket
that swung over her shoulders. Just
below where the girl stood. the river
narrowed in a swift current which
swept over into deep pool. ] gather
ed up my things and started toward her
as she approached this rapid. To my
surprise She waded down it to the edge
of the pool | fastened on to warn
her of her danger, when suddenly her
foot slipped and in a moment the cur
rent had swept her into the big pool.
| rushed down the bank and dived in
to the pool, but to my chagrin on com
ing to the surface saw her composed
" swimming ashore. She climbed
upon the bank, and, seeing me, extend
ed her hand to help me out. She eX-
claimed with much heartiness; Thank
We, mister. but didn t need We. have
been in the old river too many times
for that" Then dragging out her rod
she exclaimed: AYE, but it's broken. I
Yes | responded, but | will mend
it, and we sat down in the warm sun,
and while | mended the rod we got
well acquainted. She told me that her
name was Ella, and that she lived with
the family of her uncle, who was
poor farmer. She was uneducated but.
she possessed a natural grace that was
charming. We met on several occa-
sions and enjoyed many fishing excur-
sions together. She could throw a fly
with extraordinary skill. My liking
for this beautiful girl began to take on
a sentimental turn, and | was turning

mony when / was encountered by

Cornelia, that you do not understand
me. You must know, then, that my
green house is altogether a commercial
venture; and the expected blossoms are
to adorn the windows of a city florist

alive price"

grasped the amazed visitor.

Gates: lit sharpenS ones faculties won

money to do it, for two hundred dollars

Alice, was the reply, land this is

down.
Everything was good of its kind,
though simple and the visitor ate with
an appetite, She even promised to come
for a weeks stay before Christmas,
after a sight of the quaint upstairs
rooms, furnished enthusiastically; and
when she returned TO the train she was
quite persuaded that her friend 5 move
to Blithedale was a very sensible one.
On Mrs. Rapson's second visit she
saw boxes of callas and carnations
carefully packed in wet moss, and dis
patched by rail to the city; She saw al
50 the encouraging check that was
received in return, and she no longer
doubted the success of Mrs. Gates's

Kinds of Exercise For Glasses of People

Kinds of Exercise For Glasses of People
Professional men should have recre-
alton largely of physical nature. A
brisk walk is what physicians most fire.
quentlv recommend for exercise, but
for person not accustomed to exercise
this is not always beneficial, for, his
brain being the only part of his body
that is kept in activity, the exercise
forces the blood into the head, and he
returns home with a severe headache.
Such a man should take passive eXer-
else, such as rowing, sailing, or hunt
ing. where his mind could be in slight
activity also. The majority of men en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits get
enough physical exercise from their
everyday life and their recreation
should be of mental nature. A few
days in the country, a change of seen
erv, is beneficial to every one. Stock
brokers and bankers require very
quiet recreation, but instead they try
to get their recreation from Che most
exciting of sports. which is really no
change from their daily life. Mechan-
les and clerks are recommended 10 at
tend light entertainments, such as con
certs, lectures, or play cards, chess,
checkers, or other games of that nature.
Women and children. the former es-
pecially. rely too much on eXcitemen
for recreation, and carry it to such an
excess that it becomes simple dlssIpa-
ton. A distinction must be understood
between excitement which invigorates
and excitement which exhausts. Dan
cling and roller skating are excellent ex-
ercises, but under the excitement OF the
music is too often continued to exhaus-
ton.

The cold Leather" Tramp.

A familiar character in certain
sections of Connecticut and New York
state is known as 1.-The old leather
tramp" At intervals of thirty-four
days he has perambulated wide
district, with self built huts or other
self-appointed stopping places, for the
last twenty-seven years. He is
generally punctual, if not to the
minute, vet to the hour. One of his
huts, built of railway ties is 100 rods
ND a mountain, the material being
transported by his own physical
strength He has also caves in which
he finds shelter. His tour is 500 miles,
of which there are 240 miles in
Connecticut, travelled by him in
twenty-five days, and 100 miles in the
state of New York, to which he
devotes twelve days.
He has leather suit of clothes. 1t
was recently ascertained that he was
a French Catholic, IS years of age,
who believes that he is doing penance
in expiration of some great sin
committed long ago. He carries with
him a French praverbook of date OF
1874. tin pipe of his own making, an
AK in one pocket and a handle in
another, tin pail, a fryingpan,
Ratchet, jack-knife and awl. He
wears crucitix on his breast under
his clothes. Never does he solicit
aims, nor does h. seem to care for
money. In the coolest nights he
prefers one of his own places of
shelte to any civilized home.
Altogether he is a strange specimen of
the tramp species.
