Nobody can please everybody. Many
people try to do it, but none ever sue
coed. In whatever walk of life man S
lines may be cast. the best he can do is
to perform his duty manfully, accord
ing to the light he has, and leave the
consequences to the source of that
light. But the more thoroughly he does
his duty, the more sure he is to dis
please somebody. We suppose that all
this may be asserted broadly, with re-
gard to all men who have much to do
with mankind; but it is especially true
OF men whose duty it is to look after
the temporal or spiritual welfare of
their fellow-beings. -Buffalo Express.

Dull Times and Advertising.

Entering a store of prosperous merchant, re-
Gently, gentleman, stranger in town, says the
Albany Journal, expressed surprise at the busy
scene that greeted him. He inquired of the pro-
prietor how it was that he was getting more than
his share of business in these dull days. The
merchant replied
"I attribute the large business I do every Sum-
mer to just two things: First, I advertise bar
gains and keep my store before the puEliS; Sec
ond, when the public call 1 satisfy it by keeping
my advertised promises. 1t cost me $4,000 to
learn this lesson, and it has paid me at least $25
600. During three successive Summers during
the hard years that followed 1873, ran behind
in this store on an average of $4,000 year. 1
made up my mind that there was business to do
and that would do it. In the middle of the
worst and dullest year we had, when clerks were
absent on their vacations and half of the force in
the store was idle, started in and spent 81 200
in advertising midsummer bargains, remnants,
old stock, and so on. Within week my store
was so full of business that I had to send for
every clerk who was away, and added two ex-
ira clerks. That year instead of loss of $4,000
in the Summer, made $1,000 besides what
paid for advertising. l have kept it up ever
since. That was the most expensive lesson l
ever learned, but it was the most instructive and
the most remunerative. If I had to start bust
ness again as poor as I was when 1 started, I
would make it rule to spend at least one half of
what my rent cost in advertising in home papers.
I would not waste it on cheap methods, but
would spend it judiciously in the best and high
priced departments and in the best and most
largely circulated papers,"

The "Horsey" Girls of Swell Society in
New York.

Ne,o York Correspondence Boston Gazette.
Young ladies not only developing horsey
tastes, but they are developing taste for turf
gambling that would make their grandparents
turn in their graves if they knew OF it. young
lady who cannot talk horse nowadays shows that
she is not in the social whirlpool She must
know the points of horse as readily as any
jockey. 1 was amused the other day on the train
by the conversation of two young ladies-very
ladylike and quiet girls they were, too-who,
after discussing Schumann's songs, began to talk
horse, and they seemed to be as familiar with
one as with the other.
"Were you at the exhibition at Madison Square
Garden 2" asked one of the other. "No," she
replied, UNFORTUNATELY was out of town at that
time" "That was too bad" said the other !;
"you missed splendid show. have never seen
finer cattle. The yearlings looked exactly like
3-year-olds." The other expressed her disap-
pointment at not having seen these wonderful
yearlings, but she had seen particularly fine g.
year-olds that she thought were going to develop
into fine trotters.
The other day was driving through Central
park, and the handsomest turnout that passed
me was driven by lady. 1t was none of your
village carts or Victorias, but was a genuine
Stanhope gig, with footmen up behind, and the
lady on the box holding the reins of pair of
prancing steeds; no ponies, mind you, but full
sized horses, and risky ones at that. What /
liked about it was that she was such a quiet-look-
ing lady.
There was nothing at all horsey in the appear
ance. She wore a simple, tight-ftting coat and
modest bonnet, and was, 1 should think, about IS
or 81 years of age. There is Miss Daisy Came
ron, the daughter of Sir Roderick Cameron, who
drives pair of fast horses but she drives them
to Victoria, which is more feminine than
Stanhope. Miss Pussy Breeze also drives
spanking team, and in winter her cutter is the adj
miration of the road.

The Ridgely Monument.

A correspondent of the Old Town baltimore
Advocate says: "The 22d day of September next,
will be remarkable day in Odd Fellowship. On
that day there will be q large gathering of Odd
Fellows from all parts of the jurisdiction, under
the government of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
Representatives are expected from all the States
from Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coasts. The Grand Lodges of the
British Provinces, Australasia, Germany, Switzer-
land Chill, are also entitled to representation.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge I. 0. 0. F., meets
in Baltimore this session, and occasion will be
taken to unveil the Ridgely Monument, which
will be completed at that time, the corner stone
having been laid in Harlem Park, by Grand Sire
Henry f. Carey, some time ago. The monument
will be a magnificent affair, and will lend beauty
to the Park. The architect is Mr.. Muldoon, of
Kentucky, gentleman of splendid reputation for
that kind of architecture. The monuments is 334
feet high, made of granite with large base
The inscriptions on the front of the base consist
of the letters I. O. O. F., under which comes the
motto, Friendship, Love and Truth, beneath
which appears the name James L. Ridgely, born
January 81, 1907; died November Is, 1884, and
on the lower base three links are carved. The
statue of Ridgely, which surmounts the top, is
q splendid piece of work and will be seven feet
six inches HIGH his right arm resting on his hips
while the left is laid upon scroll that rests upon
O pedestal On each of the four sides will be q
medallion the front one representing the seal
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, on the right side,
three links and axe, rod and serpent, the left
medallion will exhibit pair of scales, and the
heart and hand, and on the back medallion ap-
pears the all seeing eye.
"The occurrence will attract to Baltimore all
the prominent Odd Fellows, not only in the
United States, but elsewhere, and arrangements
are being made by the people in Maryland to
have the railroads and steamboats, to offer induce
ments in the way of cheap rates, and every effort
will be put forth to make the remembrance of the
day lasting one in Baltimore"

Common Sense in the Lowest Brutes.

Colonel Ingersoll, while in police court the
other day, saw culprit whose forocity of face
and beligerence of manner were indeed striking.
This fellow was the keeper of concert hall of the
lowest grade, and he had been arrested for beat
ing one of his mattresses.

soil.

of her head, remarking: "He always slugs US be-
hind the noodle" A fine of $40 was imposed and
paid. Ingersoll hurried to the rascal. al beg
your pardon" said he, "but the woman said you
never hit any of the mattresses except at the back
of the head. Would you mind telling me why?"
"Because I amt no chump," was the quick re-

How to Take a Pill.

DR.. Benjamn IN Medical Reporter.
have just read in your issue of July IS, GLOW
to take a pill" by DR.. Asthalter. Now if the
pills are sugar-coated, his method does very well
but if they are not, the patient will generally get
the bad taste of the pill and this is really the
most serious objection to pills. You know that
in the vast majority of cases the pills are not
coated. When physician orders medicine in
pills, the apothecary does not sugar-coat them.
I will describe to you method that have been
using, which 1 discovered last year, which car
ries the pill down without the patient feeling its
presence in the mouth or throat, and never per-
mits the pill to be tasted when it is not coated.
Take a swallow of water and hold the head back,
so that the water will be in the back of the mouth
Do not swallow the water until the pill has been
dropped on its surface. Take the pill between
the finger and thumb (still holding head back)
and carry it well back, without touching the in-
side of the mouth with it then drop in on the
water and swallow. The head will come forward,
and the water opening and wetting the esophaguc
takes the pill instantly to the stomach. 1t does
not "stop halfway down." and is not tasted.

Going Back to the Death Penalty.
The Independent.

The Independent.
Some seventeen years ago the death penalty for
murder in the first degree was abolished by the
Legislature of Minnesota, and life Imprisonment
substituted therefor. The people of that State,
after trial of the experiment during these years,
seem to have become satisfied that the change in
the law was a mistake. The Legislature of the
State, at its recent session, restored the death
penalty for murder in the first degree. Michigan
is also in the list of States that have tried the
same experiment; and not long since bill was
passed by the lower house of the Legislature re-
enacting the hanging policy, although it failed of
adoption in the Senate. The people of Maine tried
the experiment for six years, and then went back
to capital punishment for murder in the first de-
gree. The general sentiment of this country is
Overwhelmingly in favor of such punishment for
this crime; and SO far as different view has been
adopted in any of the States, the present tendency
of public sentiment in these States is to go back
to the old doctrine on this subject. We have no
doubt that civil society has the moral right to
punish murder by the death penalty, or that this
penalty is more protective and deterrent than
life Imprisonment. We have, hence, always ad-
vocated the expediency of capital punishment for
murder in the first degree, because necessary to
the highest protection of human life through the
agency of law. The only question with us is,
whether the punishment should be inflicted by
hanging, or by some other method more immedi-
ately certain in the effect and less painful. We
believe that there might be change in the method
to advantage, and without loss to public safety
