A WISE. REFORM.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a wide
reform. No only the public, but profess
sional men have adopted, not wholly, of
course, but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as a safe botanic substitute for the per.
nicious alkaloid. The consequences of this
change are most important. Now fever and
ague sufferers arc cured-formerly their
complaints we're only for the time relieved or
half cured-the remedy eventually failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except the
doses were increased. A course Of the Bit
tiers, persistently followed, breaks up the
worst attacks and prevents their return.
The evidence in favor Of this sterling specific
and household medicine is Of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfactory, and
the sources whence It proceeds are very
numerous.

How Nose Schaumburg Surprised the

 On the last day of the late year 1885, Tom Snickerson, young man in Nose Schaumburg's Boss Clothing Emporium, intimated that he was going to quit.
 ''Do you really wants to kervit my employments?" asked Nose.
 "Yes, MT. Schaumburg, you are pay ing me only seven dollars week and you treat me as if I was yellow dog. I can no longer put up with such low wages and harsh treatment. You don't seem to think that have any feelings, but have"

THE MELLOW STRAIN.

The sinking sun had streaked the west With f1ecks of gold and crimson bars; The wandering wind had sunk to rest, And in the cold east rose the stars. The evening chimes, like gladsome psalm, Pealed loud from out the old church tower And OCT the valley fell the calm
 Which broods upon the twilight hour. Loud through the eve Wrapt, listening vale, From humble bower of eglantine, blackbrd trilled his mellow tale, As if he sang through-luscious wine. By cottage, grange and hall around, Eraptured listeners fingered long; All heard tile self same fiuting sound, While each interpreted the song. little child scarce three years old, In wonder woke to vision dim Of crowns and dulcimers of gold And surging strains of holy hymn In that sweet land that's brighter far Than sSining shores in emerald seas, Where glows the lustrouS evening star Above the fair Hesperides. A maiden, at the moss fringed well, Beside her pitcher fingered long, Her soul enthralled with the strange spell Contained within that mystic song. For, oh! to her it ever sings
 Of love which all her being fills And of the lad that twilight brings From over the dividing hills. To child and youth and maiden fair That bird made glad the closing day, But dame and sire with silvered hair Drew sorrow from it's roundelay. All filtered through the years of woe On their hearts fell the mellow strain Waking tine songs of long ago And made them sigh for youth again.

THE NEW SPAPER.

An Educator Whose Powers for Good are
 Not Fully Appreciated.
 T. V. Powderiy. General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, says: ''If every laborer and every manufac- turer would read a good paper and keep posted on the topics of the time I feel certain there would be less trouble " Indeed there would, and the compliment to the press may be accepted without the smallest blushing. The first busi- ness of the newspaper press is to give the news, and that every man ought to have. The next is to make such con- ment on the news as seems to be just, and we venture to say that in nine out of ten cases this comment is based upon honest and intelligent opinion. The opinion, moreover, is usually formed by men who have no personal interest in the matters at issue. It is the busi- ness of these men to judge and to be fair in their judgment. While they have not the official authority of the bench, they at least have its impartiali- ty, and in many cases its ability as well. The press gathers to itself ex- perts in law, in philosophy, in science, in theology, in art, in the drama, and ip all the lighter pursuits of life. The time will come when it will de- velope all these specialties to a far greater degree than it does now; and the time will likewise come when the man who does not read the paper will be looked upon with the contempt or pity that now belongs to the individual who can not read at all. An employer with out a newspaperP An employe without one? So much for few cents, and yet a man or a woman so villainously ig- norant that they choose not to buy? The newspaper is volume of informa- ton. The man who reads it gets for a few cents the work of the best writers of all kinds, of the best theotists, the be st detectives, the best artisans in news S well as thought. The great trouble with the newspaper is that it is given away. A good newspaper ought to cost more than a cigar or glass of beer. It is flung in the face of ignorance and in- telligence alike, and neither gives it half its value.-N. Y. Graphic.

THE RABIES.
An Impartial View of Pasteur's System of
 Inoculation.

~AAA sAO" OA T oceOuE OysJ0h OA
 Inoculation.
 Pasteur's system of inoculation by which he cures rabies, has brought to light the fact that hydrophobia is much more common affiiction than has been generally suspected. The great French savant has announced to the world that he will and can neutralize this dreadful poison without money and without price, whereupon literally hundreds of people from different parts of the world, bend their steps toward Paris. It is settled beyond all peradventure that there is no danger of hydrophobia if the bite of the dog is two years old, but there is no certainty within the two years. The incubation of the poison may take from one to six months, and this is why the afflicted hasten at once to France, and place themselves under the care of the man who has immortal ized himself by discovering an antidote for hydrophobia. Curiously enough, this great discovery is meeting the fate of Jenner's cow-pox inoculation to neutralize the smallpox poison. Vul- gar and ignorant people say it is flying in the face of Providence to attempt to cure this dreadful disease. Rochefort, the famous French Radical, is leading the attack on Pasteur and his hydropho- bia remedy, but facts are stubborn things, and if those who are bitten by mad dogs are saved from rabies by Pasteur's discovery, it will rebound to his glory, and the confusion of his ene- mies.-Denorest' Monthly,

"and don't see how we are going to work the tread-mill for the churning." Why, said MT. Benlow, "we'n let Tommy run eight or ten miles on it. It will do him good and improve bis wind"
 So after breakfast Tommy walked on the treadmill until he thought he would drop.
 "We'n make cowboy of you before long," said MT. Benlow, as he entered with smile to see how the butter was progressing; "sd cheer up, and don't feel homesick, for have something foI you to do that you may enjoy" "What is it?" asked Tommy. 'It is to break a pair of yearlings to the yoke. We will yoke them and hitch them to sled, and you can drive as 1 fast as you like"
 ''That will be fine," said Tommy. So after dinner the steers were
 brought forth, and yoked and hitched to the sled, upon which Tommy stood as circus-rider stands on horse, and started them.
 "We'll make cowboy of you yet" rang out on his ears as the yearlings started off at full speed. First they darted in one direction, then in an. other. First Tommy was in the snow, and then back on the sled. for the year. lings jerked it in every direction, and pranced on their hind-legs, and whisked his hat off with their tails, and tried to jump fences and drag the sled after them. Tommy thought there was more snow inside of his clothing than there was on the ground, and when he was completely upset-in more ways than one-by the yearlings, he sat down in the snow and cried, while the
 yearlings seem to melt out-of tight over the rim of the horizon. The Benlow boys, who followed,
 caught the runaways and drove them home.
 At four the next morning Tommy
 Miggs was altogether too sore to arise
 at milking-time. He was also too sore
 to go down to his breakfast. That
 night, to make long story short, he
 was back home, and has not been away
 since. It makes him very angry when
 called Texas Bill, because he has given
 up his dreams of cowboy life. Tommy
 is now studying bookkeeping, with a
 view to entering his fathers store. He
 wouldn't be cowboy if he could; and
 now the wax doll goes unscalped, the
 toy babies unmurdered, and the cats
 and dogs in his vicinity unlassoed.-R.

Mahmoud wandered now disconsolate ly about the city, vainly endeavoring tC find some familiar face or scene. But everything appeared strange to him, and there was not one who recognized him. At last, he met an old man, whose bent form aud snow white hair testified that he must be very near the age of a cen tury. Of him, Mahmoud asked: "Dost thou remember Ali, the son of Has, sanP"
 The old man shook his head at first.
 ''I am his son Mahmoud," continued the young man, '.I am Mahmoud Ben Ali"
 At that the old man pricked up his ears ''I remember when was a boy, of hearing my father tell about young fisherman named Mahmoud who disap- peared one day very suddenly, and left his aged parents to die of want. That was many years before thou vast born. Their graves can show you, if you de- sire to see them.'
 "Lead me to them,' groaned Nah mould, feeling very sad and thoughtful.
 He was conducted by his aged guide to an ancient cemetery outside the city walls. Age and decay seemed to have chosen the place for their habitation. Everything was in ruinous state, and there were his parents graves with the crumbling stone, which told that they had been there already hundred years.
 The young man fell down and wept immoderately upon the soil that covered the remains of those he had so loved and revered When he arose the old man was gone.
 "It is the work of that spiteful fairy,", he cried, wringing his hands. "Ill was the day I yielded to her blandishments. She has used enchantment. Perhaps this will revoke the spell y
 He still held possession of the golden casket, and he now took it and examined it curiously. At last he inserted the key.
 ''I will do it," he muttered. ''She told mo never to open it, but things can not be worse than they now are. What can happen more lamentable than my parents death, or to be a hundred years behind my time? Allah guard me from worse."
 So he turned the key, and opened the casket From it issued white vapor, which enveloped him, and under its in- fluence the young man fell to the ground. But he was young no longer. He lost his elasticity of limb, his hair turned gray, and his form was bent as with the weight of years In few mo- ments he died, clasping fast the golden easlzet, whose contents had been so fatal.-The Interior.

Few Samples of the Saliva of the Wit
 tiest of Irishmen.
 To the bench Curran could be at times unceremonious. In his early days Judge Robinson made an attempt to extinguish the rising advocate. Rob- inson, it was currently reported, owed his elevation to the publication of political pamphlets, remarkable only for their slavish meanness and scur- rility. In arguing his case Curran eaia In hod consultsd all his law books and could not find the principle contended for. T suspect, sir. said Robinson, " that your law library is rather soanty.n ''It is very true, my Lord" said Currdn, that riy books are not numerous; but ! have prepared myself for this high profes- sion Iatthlor 5y .Lo study of few good books than by the com position of great many bad ones" Curran was occasionally nonplussed by witness. Inquiring his masters age from a horse trainers servant, he could get no satisfactory an- swer. ''Come, come, friend" urged Curran, "has he lost his teeth?'' ''Do you think" retorted the servant, "that I know his age as he does his horses by the mark of the mouth?" Once foiled by Limerick banker with an iron leg, Curran in his address to the jury said that his leg was the softest part about him. In debate in the House of Commons he stated that he needed no aid from any one, that he was proud to be ''the guardian of his own honor" 'Indeed," exclaimed Sir Boyle Roche, 'I congratulate MT. Cur ran on his holding a sinecure. Lord Clare was determined enemy of Cur ran while he was at the bar. The Lord Chancellor ruined his practice at the Chancery court, and his clients were always sufferers. Indeed Curran stated that the losses in his pro- fessional income from the ami mostly of Lord Clare amounted to no less than 430,000. The incidents in court in consequence of this disagree ment were sometimes ludicrous. On one occasion when it was known that the advocate was about to make an elaborate argument in chancery, Lord Clare brought a Newfoundland dog upon the bench with him, and paid much more attention to the dog than to the barrister, and the fact was com- mented on by the profession. At ma terial point in the argument the Chan cellor lost all decency, and turned quite aside to fondle the dog. Curran stopped at once. "Go on, go on," said Lord Clare. "Oh, I beg thousand pardons, my Lordr' was the ready reply. '1 really took it for granted your Lordship was engaged in consultation. "-Temple BGr.
