A diver who was trying to find pearls
off the Alaska coast, found none, but
found himself, all of a sudden, in the
grasp of an ugly octopus with arms
twenty-seven feet long. Such an expe-
rience is rare but there are thousands Of
people who are caught by dyspepsia,
which is quite as bad. An octopus hates
to let go. So does dyspepsia. Browns
Iron Bitters settles dyspepsia, and makes
it loose its cruel grip. Mrs. Schmidt and
her daughter, of 1875 Conway street, Balti-
more, were both cured of dyspepsia by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters.

You do not know how slight an
expression of sympathy is q source
of strength and relief. Go to your
friend in trouble, even if you can
say nothing; write to him, if you
can only tell him that You share his
suffering. Ingenious attempts to explain
to him that he is probably exaggeratiug
the greatness OF the calamity that has
fallen upon him, and overlooking consid-
erstions that might tighten his distress,
will probably produce resentment He
will feel that he knows more about it
than you do, and that you are presump-
tious, impertinent, sacriligious in your at
tempts to measure the exact limits of his
trouble and to determine what ought to
be the limits of his grief What he wants
is not your ingenious philosophy, but just
a touch of your heart. Some people have
what may be called the gift Of sympathy,
and charming gift it is. Easily, natur-
ally, without effort, they respond to all
the changing circumstances and moods OF
those about them. They have tears for
the sorrows of their friends. and food of
sunlight for their ioys.

Johnny was pouring over his mental
arithmetic. 1t was new study to him,
and he found it interesting. When
Johnny undertook anything he went
about it with heart, head and hand.
He sat on his high stool at the table.
while his father sat just opposite. He was
such tiny fellow, scarcely large enough
to hold the book, you would think, much
less to study and calculate. But he could
do both as you shall see. 8 l
Johnny's father had been speaking to
his mother. and Johnny had been so in-
tent in his book that he had not heard a
word but as he leaned back in his high
chair to rest a moment he heard his faith
er say: "Dean got beastly drunk at the
club last night; drank ten glasses of
wine; was disgusted with the fellow"
Johnny looked up with bright eyes.
How many did you drink ?''
drank one, my son." said the father,
smiling down upon his little boy.
Then you were only one-tenth drunk"
said the boy refectiveiy.
1ohnp cried his parent sternly in
breath. But Johnny continued with
studious air:
why, yes; II ten glasses of wine
makes man beastly drunk, one glass
will make him one-tenth part drunk,
and"
There, there 20 interrupted the father,
biting his lips to hide the smile that
would come; " guess it's bedtime for
you. and We'll have no more arithmetic
tonight"
SO Johnny was tucked away in bed and
went sound asleep, turning the problem
over and over to see if he was wrong.
And just before he lost himself in slum-
Der he had thought: zone thing is
sure it Dean hadn't taken the one glass
he would not have been drunk. So it is
the safest way never to take one; and
never will" And the next thing he was
snoring, while Johnny's father was think
ing: "There's something in Johnny's
calculation, after all. 1t is not safe to
take one glass, and 1 will ask Dean to
sign total-abstinence pledge with me
Tomorrow" And he did 80, and they
both kept it. So great things grew out
OF Johnny's studying mental arithmetic,
you see.-Iemperdnce Banner.

An army officer told me an anecdote of
General Hancock about his love of dig
nifty and discipline. He was in command
of the train which brought Gen. Grants
remains from Mount McGregor to New
York. General Hancock and his staff
were in the coach next to the last. In the
rear car was party of Pennsylvania mil
itia officers, who were popping an occa-
sional bottle of champagne and smoking
quite sociably. General Hancock saw
from his car what was going on in the
rear. 1t did not comport with his ideas
of the proprieties of 80 solemn an occasion
and, calling the conductor, he said !:
"Will you please present my compli-
ments to those gentlemen, with the re-
quest that they cease smoking ?" In q
few moments the conductor returned with
the announcement that the convivial off,
GERS returned their compliments with .
peremptory declination to relinquish
their cigars. "Where is the next switch p
asked Hancock. "About FIVE miles be-
low" replied the conductor. When
you reach it, if the smoking in that car
has not ceased, switch it on side track
and leave it. You may tell the gentle
men what have said" In two minutes
there was not cigar to be seen in the
appending coach. Its occupants knew
that Hancock meant just what he said.
