Two Hundred Years Ago.

About two hundred years ago dra-
perry, ornamental with flowers, birds,
etc., in bright colors began to be- hung

England, aud as less expensive and
more convenient paper was used instead,
which gave rise to the art of paper
hanging, the history of this art is
practically continued at Rosin g. Bros,
220 West Second street.

This tutorage viii indeed consume con-
siderable amount of time, but it does not up
set the family as does the recurring and dread
period of changing girls

they are worse mistresses. But what are we

A Piece Of se..ible Advice.

Never go out Of the house until you have
eaten some thing, is very sensible advice. 1t
is constantly reiterated by parents who have
the physical welfare Of their children at heart,
whether they live in malarial districts or in
salubrious localities. This sage precept is cred
tied to an ancient Arabian philosopher, who
said: my son, go not out of the house in the
morning till thou hast eaten something; by SO
doing thy mind will be more firm; and
shouldst thou be insulted by any person, thou
wilt find myself more disposed to suffer pa
tiently; for hunger dries up and disorders the
BRAIN
Hunger diminishes the bodily strength, thus
irritating and enfeebling the mind. II study
has to be done in the dark winter mornings,
have the room warm and some light food pre-
pared for the student Irritability is often
the result of hunger. Some persons, who are
naturally amiab!e, will become disagreeable
snarlers when they are hungry. A dear old
lady once told Inc that in the course Of her
life she had always traced every feeling Of IL
ritability TO hunger. The instant she felt the
slightest inclination to be dissatisfied with
matters and things she Immediately had
something to eat, and thus averted disagree

Deaths Increase in Election Time.

All Americans have been amused with the
stories which have recently appeared in the
newspapers OF the intense state OF excite
ment 10 which the English people have
allowed themselves to be reused by the cleo
tons just closed There is, of course, good
reason for the difference in American and
English election manners in the prolonga-
ton OF the agony which the protraction of
the English elections entails
In The Lancet for December Il appeared
an article on deaths from Election Fever"
The writer takes the ground that the feeb,er
minds of community are those which take
the most interes. in politics. This being
SO, it ought to surprise no one that largo
sprinkling of the minis subjected TO tho
strain and excitement attendant on "A gen
eral election Should give way, or that in a
certain proportion of instances brains sholld
be so affected a to suffer those coarser in
juries which end in speedy death rather
than protracted mental disease. Is this TO
be accepted as fair statement of the facts
in England, and do we experience In the
United States an increase IN the number of
deaths from brain diseases at times Of great
political excitement Science.
