An Absent-Minded Barber.

"Yes," said the proprietor of an
uptown barber shop, Jim was u

"What was the matter" i"
"He was too absent-minded and

cut one mans ear nearly off while
watchin' a dog fight in the street,
an sometimes he would rub hair oil
over customers face instead of mis-
head, an fill his ears full of lather

mean nothin' wrong, but, as | said,
he was absent-minded.
"Do you remember when old Dea.

"Yes."

Books for the Guest Chamber

At one time | was staying in a
house where the guest chamber con-
tanned among the furniture, little
shelf of books. | nave often thought
of them since, with a wonder that
more careful hostessess did not pro-
vide the same. Nights when | could
not sleep, and mornings when l
waited in my room for the breakfast
bell, | dipped into the contents-a
volume or two of poems, some short
stories, and interesting travels COM
prised the whoie-and | found not
the least pleasant part of my visit
in those quiet moments by the win
dow which overlooked the great, old
fashioned garden. Any housekeep-
er could spare six or eight books
from her library, and almost any
guest would bless her for the thought.
A little work basket fully stocked ;
pen, ink and paper ready to hand
the visitor cares nearly as much for
these as for fresh towels aud extra
coverings. The golden rule. which
is guide 20 all branches of good
housekeeping, as to all branches of
business, comes TO ones aid here,
and what we care most for in an
others home we should endeavor to
give the conner to our own.

All Abont a Bicycle.

A minister in Cleveland rode to
churce recently on bicycle. As he
swept up to the sacred edifice large
Newfoundland dog belonging to the
senior deacon came numbering out
to greet the pastor. The bicycle col
lided with the canine under full
head of steam, and ran him down
with shock that could be plainly
felt with the naked eye. The rever-
ened gentleman took a header and
jammed his silk hat down over his
ears so tight that he had to crawl
through it to get out of it. The dog
made Rome howl with his walls, and
attracted crowd of 300 people.
The parsons coat was split down
the back and his trousers ripped
across the knees. He pinned up the
knees, and he had to wear a pepper
and salt sack coat the sexton loaned
to him. When he appeared in the
pulpit in this garb, the congregation
smiled, and when he announced his
text, II Kings, xii, 6: "But it was
so, the priest had not repaired the
breeches-"there was not dry eye
in the conventicle. And now the
question before the church is:-
should a pastor ride bicycle to
church, or has the deacon q Chris
tian right to own a dog 2"

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm. is a COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication OF DR.. Bosanko'S Pile Rem
edy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and eff
fecting a permanent cure. Price 90

Don { Lose Your Temper.

Mr.. Briggs was bothered nearly to
death with callers, one day, all OF
them in the cause of some charity
oy other, and his temper was sadly
crippled. There was slight ces-
sation about three O'Clock, and just
as Briggs began to breathe easier,
another man came in.
"Well?" inquired Briggs, turning
impatiently toward the visitor.
"Mr. Briggs" he began in a gentle
way, Il want"
"You want, do you," interrupted
Briggs. "Well, everybody wants

"But Mr.. Briggs | want"

a paper weight, while the visitor got
up and few.
About ten minutes afterward there
was a call at the telephone. Briggs
responded.

"Is' that you, Briggs came the
inquiry.

About Dreams.

A French physician, DIR. Delau-
ney. tells some interesting facts
about dreams. These are embodied
in a communication TO the Society
de Biologic of Paris. 1t is well
known when a person is lying down
the blood flows most easily to the
brain. That is why some OF the
ancient philosophers worked out
their thoughts in bed. Certain mod
ern thinkers have initiated this
queer method of industry. During
sleep, SO long as the head is laid low
dreams take the place of coherent
thoughts.
There are, however, different sorts
of dreams; and DR.. Delaunay's pur-
pose. in his original communication,
is to show that the manner OF lying
brings on a particular kind ofdream.
Thus, according to this investigator,
uneasy and disagreeable dreams ac-
company lying upon the back. TINS
fact Is explained By the connection
which is known to exist between the
organs Of sensation and the posterIor
part of the brain.
The most general method OF lying,
perhaps is on the right side; and
this appears to be also the most nat
ural method, for many persons OBJ
iect TO lying upon the side of the
heart, which, it has been more than
once asserted, should have free ac-
ton during sleep. Nevertheless,
DR.. Delauneys statements hardly
harmonic with this opinion. When
one sleeps on the right side, that is
to say, upon the right side OF the
/ brain, ones dreams have marked
and rather unpleasant characteris-
tics.
These characteristics, however,
are essentially those which enter
into the popular definition OF
preams. Ones dreams are then apt
TO be illogical, absurd. childish, un-
certain, incoherent, iull of vlgaclty
and exaggeration. Dreams which
come from sleeping on the right
side are, i'll short, simple deceptions.
They bring to mind very Old and
faint remembrances, and they are
often accompanied by nightmares
DR.. Delaunay points out that sleep
ers frequently compose yerces or
rythmical language while they are
lying on the right side. This verse
tnough at times correct enough, Il
absolutely without sense. The NOR
al faculties are then at work, but the
intelligent faculties are absent.
On the other hand, when a per-
son siumbers on his left brain, his
dreams are not only less absurd
they may also be intelligent. They
are as a rule, concerned with recent
things, not with reminiscence. Aud
since the faculty OF artlculated Ian
guage is found In the side, the words
uttered during such dreams are ire
quently comprehensive.

she Obtained a Seat.

As sharp a woman as Jake Sharp
himself, saws the New York Void,
entered car on his new Broadway
line, recently, and found herself the
only female passenger. All :he
seats were taken. The woman 5 face
was fiat as though made of muddy
paste, with one cheek-bone consid-
erably higher than the other. a
thick nose and wide mouth, with
blush. black lips made picturesque
the lower part OF the face, and ma
ture had enveloped 1t all with dark
yellowish, freckled skin. The pas
sengers saw all this with a single
glance, and settled themselves COM
tortably in their seats.
The woman stood a moment at
the door. Her small, black eyes
glared viciously, straight ahead.
Suddenly she strobe to the centre of
the car, and deliberately planted
herself on the lap of an old man.
Madam" he expostulated, you
forget yourself"
II you don't like it, get up and
give me your seat, " she replied, COM
posedly. a twinkle OF mirth, not
unmixed with malice, glistened in
her eyes.
Madam, l can't have you sitting
on my lap" said the old man, and
he gave her a push. The woman
wheeled around and seated herself
on the lap of a sickly looking man
on the other side of the car. "Oh,
oh, my tcer' he howled. Say, you
are stepping all over mep
She jumped up and took seat on
the lap ofa 300-pound German pas
senger.
Excuse me. madam said he.
On his face the perspiration was roll
ing down. "if you was to got up |
give you my place. | was sweating
awful"
The woman secured a seat at last,
and she glanced triumphantly at
the passengers. Not one OF them
dared to lift his eyes to the womans
face after this. They stared out of
the window, or kept their eyes root
ed to the ground. TIE woman sig
nailed the conductor to stop at
Chambers street, and as she fiounced
20 the door with a spiteful look, she
exclaimed
You are nice set of fellows, you
are. You can't tell a lady when you
see one. Next time hope you won't
forget your manners"
The conductor found a small bun
die where the woman had been seat
ed. He opened il and discovered a
scrub-rag. scrub-brush. and a cake
OF soap.

Judge" he said, as he stood up
in the prisoners box of an Arkansas
court, " don't go for to say I'm in-
nocent, but there are extenuatins
circumstances.
Name them"
Jim and me was partners in the
Ticker business. Jim was a-drawin
more'n his share. If | go6bled the
partnership money and run away
I'd have to live and die in Mexico
or Canada ; if said anything to Jim
he'd draw his sheer and leave me
fat; if [ asked for a Receiver, he'd
beat US both. When | cum to look
it all over, Judge, | concluded that
the best way was"
TO murder your partner"
TO do him up gently, Judge and
to offer his widder third interest ii

WAYS conducted privately, and there
are few in Toxic, except these who
are professionally engaged, who have
witnessed the process. Blu. arrange
ments made by the omnipotent for
eign minister opened the doors and
secured respectful welcome. We
were first received in the house OF
the manager. where tea was served
to US in priceless porcelain cups OF
Kutaniware'
The furnace, II so imposing name
may be used for a process SO simple,
stood few PAGES from the house.
On entering it there was nothing to
be seen but what appeared to be two
butter-tubs resting on few fsggots
of wood. There were several cayi-
ties about two inches deep and one
foot long in the stone floor, and
those were filled with shavings. Ac-
cording to municipal law, no burn
ing is 10 be done before half-past SIX
in the evening. 1t still wanted ten
minutes of that time, but under the
circumstances the manager thought
he would be safe to anticipate the
hour, and the shavings were fired.
One of the men kneeling before the
glowing fame famed it with piece
of wool. 1t caught the dry fagots
gree3ily licked the sides of the tubs,
rose high in the air, and then with 4
horrible thud, the head burst out
ward. Quick as thought the man
seized large piece of wood lying by
in readiness, and lid from sight
whatever may have protruded. 1t
is the boast of the skillful cremator
that under his supervision the con-
tents of the barrel are never expos
ed to view. A heavy mating OF vet
straw is laid over the length of the
barrel before the fire is ignited. As
the barrel burns away this falls IN
and covers the body. In three hours
the work is done Every particle OF
flesh IS burned away, and there re-
mains only the skeleton. The bones
and the teeth the relatives collect
aud give them burial.

Queer reading would be the his
tory of names. We cannot, howev-
er 60 into the subject now, except,
so tar as to say that DR.. KenDedy's
"Favorite Remedy" was called by
that name, in an informal fashion,
long before the Doctor dreamed of
advertising it for public use. Speak
ing of it ne would say to his patients
"This is my favorite remedy for all
troubles OF the blood" &c, and its
success was so great that he finally
spelled the name with capital letters.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-11-04

There is nc use fighting nature
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite remedy does
nothing of that kind. 1t does not
make the sufferers who trust in it
worse under the pretense of doing
them good. 1t acts tenderly and in
sympathy with what nature herself
is trying to accomplish. Do you
have trouble with your digestion,
Jour liver or your kidneys. Does
rheumatism pain and rack you? Is
your head thick and heavy? 1t will
charm away these ailments almost
ere you are aware.

Another Gas Vein Struck.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 21.-An enormous
natural gas well was struck yester-
day in Butler county, along the
Pittsburg and Western Railroad.
The immense flow of gas was de-
veloped in the 100-foot rock at a
depth of 1,100 feet. When struck
the pressure of the gas was so pow
erful that it carried 1000 feet of salt
water great distance into the air.
This gas will be utilized for manu-
featuring purposes.
