Webb, Horace Greeley, Wilbur F.
Storey, Murat Halstead, Joseph Medill,
Whitelaw Reid, Joseph Pulitzer, and
Charles A. Dana-all fine specimens of
full grown men.
Great orators are almost always large
men, and such specimens as Joseph
Cook, Henry Ward Beecher, Col. Robert
G. I1gersoll, Nh. Moody, Roscoe Conk-
ling and De Witt C. Talmage are famil-
lar to the eye Of the present generation Of
Americans. These orators are not only
alike in weighing ?25 pounds apiece, but
they further resemble each other in DOS
sessing a keen sense of both humor and
pathos, and in being coarse grained-of
the earth, earthly. If they had not been
coarse of texture they would have died
young, and if they were not large they
would have lacked the physical strength
to surpass in the sharp competitions Of
their time. In New York It is proverbial
that the great merchants outweigh their
clerks.-Washington Post.

Reception Days.

In accordance with the custom already well
established in the large cities, ladies every
where are having particular days of the week
or month in which their friends may call on
them. This is a great convenience, enabling
busy women TO attend to their other duties
without dreading the intrusion of a caller at
an %inopportune time. On days other than
the reception date, no ordinary caller can
claim the lady's time, and she need not be
surprised if she is not admitted. Women
physicians and other feminine professionals
usually rave one evening in the month for
being at home to their friends. Very busy
women can. adopt the same rule. The day
and hours of reception are printed on the
visiting cards.

Cure for Diphtheria.

Rectiied oil Of turpel=ine (oleum terebin-
thinae rectificatum) is said to be an infallible
remedy for diphtheria. For children the
dose is one te~aspoonful in the morning and
the same at evening.
Adults should take one tablespoonful.
Afterward drink a little lukewarm milk to
allay the burning in the throat.
For children the second dose can be mixed
with milk, which will render it easier to
take.
The result is really marvellous. The i'll
lammation Of the abnormal diphtheritic
spots in the throat grows lighter at the edges,
and in this way they gradually shrink until
in twenty-four hours they disappear entirely,
leaving no sign. A gargle of chlorate OF
potash may be used with advantage every
two hours between the first dose and the
s~econd-one ounce chlorate of potash toforty
ounces distilled water. Marvellous cures ara
said to nave been wrought by this simple
remedy.

A Committee of Civil Engineers Report
on the Condition of the Stove
The Rev. Penstock sent to the desk the
following preamble and resolution:
Whereas. Sartin newspapers am in de hab-
it of maxim a distinction in color when a
man ain arrested, as: John Doe, a colored
man, was arrested last night for"-and 80
forth, and
Whereas, Dis distinction am a relic of bar
barianism an unworthy of de aige, now dar-
fore
Resolved. Dat dis club protest agin SIGH
distinction an INDUCES in the hopes dat it
will soon be abandoned.
At the presidents request it was read a
second time, and then he arose and said:
"Brudder Penstock, l shall bev to declar'
de resolushun outer order"
"Fur what reason, Sahi'
Fur de reason dat no vital ishue am at
stake, al bekase. your pint am not well
token. De fack of distinction of color am a
pint in our favor. So many pussons am being
arrested an held up in de papers dat ii de
term Guild was not used now an den de
hull caboodle would be supposed to belong to
our race"
Il shall appeal from de decishun Of de
char" firmly replied Penstock.
"Wery well. De seckretary will call de
roll on de appeal"
This was done, and there were only three
votes to sustain it. \ vote was then taken
OH the resolution, and it received only two
votes. Brother Penstock sat down very
hard, and during the rest of the meeting em-
ployed his time in reading a patent medicine
circular.
1T WILL HAVE TO GO.
The committee of civil engineers appointed
to make q survey Of the stove II report its
exact condition, now reported through its
chairman that they had discovered the fol-
lowing injuries:
Loss OF two legs and a compound fracture
of a third. Two creyasses extending the en-
tire length of the base, in an erratic manner.
One door hinge carried away, the hearth
broken in three places and the door very
much demoralized by a collision. The port
side cracked III five places and the Starboard
in six, while the stern had been badly
wrenched by getting aground. In their opin-
ion Paradise hall was i'll danger of being de-
stroyed every time a fire was started in the
stove The committee was dismissed from
further consideration Of the subject, and
Trustee Pullback and Whalebone Howker
were appointed a new committee to look
around and report prices on another stove.
Samuel Shin moved that they be instructed
to buy one with an angel in bronze on the
top, and that it should not be less than four
horse power, but he was promptly ordered
down and lined 800, and the committee was
left to use its own discretion.
Reports from the librarian and keeper of
the museum were then submitted and the
meeting adjourned. The person who stole
Sir Isaac Walpole's horn handled umbrella
was appealed to to come forward and give it
up and clear away the dark mystery en-
shrouding the affair, but he didn't come
worth a cent.-Detroit Free Press.

GOOD HEALTH.
Gymnastic Exercises and Massage Treat
ment to Keep You Well.

ment to Keep You Well.
The massage treatment consists in pinch
ing the muscles and twisting them this way
and that, going from head to foot, all over the
body. The patient lies naked upon a slab,
and the masseur or operator performs his
pow-wow upon him. ID Is delightful to the
patient after 1t is over, but ~exhausting to the
operator. A machine has lately been in
vented to take the place of hand manipula-
ton. One of the New York Suns young
men tried it as follows:
The principles of massage treatment have
been known ever since cannibals were diScov-
cred kneading each others stomachs TO help
the digestion Of big dinners, but the process
was never so popular as it is now. The re-
ported treatment Of the president by a maSseur
has given the business a boom, and massage
artists are in a fair way to get rich.
But while the maSseur is wearing the flesh
off fat people, he is himself losing strength
and flesh by the hard and slow work. Neces-
sity has just become the mother of another
invention, whereby a sort Of massage treat
ment is applied by machinery run by steam.
The principal machine consists Of W rub
Der pads about five inches long and two inches
wide, placed parallel TO each other, and fast
ened so that they adjust themselves to any
part Of the body. They vibrate Longitude
~nally-that Is, like a shoe brush, 1900 times
II minute. The patient, without removing
his clothes, lies down on a lounge, and the
masseur applies his rubbers without exerting
his own muscles much. A reporter tried
it. The masSeur clapped the machine on the
region of his liver, and then moved it slowly
up to to his lungs, giving the stomach such a
two-horsepower shaking up that a good break
fast was nearly frightened away. The mas
Seur said he could do as much work with the
machine in five minutes as the hand masSeur
could do in an hour"
In another corner of the room there is a
machine on the floor which keeps several
bootjacks webbing in all directions. An in
valid was sitting in a chair before the ma
chine, with one foot in a jack, which kept
the toe seeSawing with the heel, with the
ankle joint as a pivot, This was another
style of massage.

stances, by splitting them back into your
plate. Quietly eject them upon your fork,
holding it to your lips, and then place them

your knife into your mouth"
In a foot note, Major Bunce says, about
the direction not to put the knife into the
mouth: This advice has been declared un-
necessary for people Of any degree Of social
culture, but the fact is that while eating
with the knife is much less common than
formerly, instances Of it may still be wiz

purpose is it intended to serve? MARY c. W.
A call, after being invited to al entertain
ment, such as an afternoon reception, an
evening party or q dinner, IS intended as a
recognition by the person invited of the conf
plimsnt paid him or her by the host They
are often called party calls, but invitation
call is better, inasmuch as ones calls embrace
recognition Of a variety Of entertainments.
In fashionable society ladies owing a very
large number Of calls often give 4 reception,
inviting all those to whom they are indebted.
This throws all they invited into debt for q

CanO Furniture.

In pleasant contrast to the ponderous por-
there's and upholstery which seem to DO the
rule at present, one comes occasionally upon
pieces OF furniture like those in the pictures.
This furniture is especially the fashion for
country houses and cottages, but it is really
suitable anywhere except in some gloomy old
house which is kept for a show place.
The heavy curtains, and plush and damask
and velvet chairs ObStruct the air and get
foul smelling and Stufry with the dust and
body emanations of years. A room with
such furniture, especially il it has been used
for some years. is inevitably depressing. A
weight is in its atmosphere.
