The Silent Monks.

The routine of one monastery is a
repetition of thel life at every other house
belonging to the order. Probably the
most trying part of it is the perpetual
silence. The monks may speak to the
abbot; the prior, the guest master, and
the man who serves the guests are, of
course, at liberty to speak. Otherwise
perpetual silence is laid upon the or
der. In certain parts of the house even
those officers do not speak except in
devotional exercises. When Father
Joseph, the guest master, was describ-
ing to me the business of the chapter
room he stood outside the door, not
being permitted to speak in the room,
though we were alone there. The same
thing is true of the church and of the
dormitory. / noticed that when Father
Joseph took me into those places he
always put up his cowl. He would not
speak even in the old and abandoned
dormitory, where are now only some
piles of grain and two unused beds.
The dormitory is an additional hard
ship. The beds consist of stats COW
cred by thin, hard mattresses, over
which are coarse covers. The Ieds are
really hunks. They are placed In O
long double line down the room, and
each one is inclosed in q small box
like closet, the partitions of which do
not reach the floor. In each room there
are a crucifx and q scourge. saw no
other article of furniture. A curtain
hangs before each doorway. The
scourge, or discipline, as it is called,
consists of five stout cords, each knot
ted in five places, fixed to a wooden
handle. Every Friday morning, after
the offices of the night, the community
repairs to the dormitory. Every monk
enters his cell, and at a signal given by
the abbot, by stamping on the floor,
every monk. including the abbot him
self, whips hiS bare shoulders with the
discipline. The abbot also gives the
signal to stop the punishment. The
abbot is subject, in general terms, to
the same rules as those by which the
others live. His bed is the first, he
sits at the head of the table: but in all
respects he lives like the meanest of
the order, except that he may talk

In the throes OF rheumatism which has reach h ed
the inhammatory stage. the invalid has just
cause to deplore tho ineficiency of medicine s
which could neither uproot the disease at it's
outstart, nor avert its dreaded climax. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is a medicine which. with
ont the danger attending the use Of some OF the
ordinary specifics for this malady is infinitely
more searching and effective. Used at tho
start. it checks the progress of the disease, and
expels, or neutrslizes the rheumatic virus in
the blood. Who so takes it incurs no risk, and
10 sure to be benefited. Valuable in rheuma-
tism, it is equally efficacious as a remedy for
neuralgia, liver complaint, indigestion, chills
and fever debility, and inactivity OF the kid
neys and bladder. 1t may, also. be relied upon
to promote sleep and appetite.

Where Gen. Grant Learned Strategy,

Once. while talking with Gen. Grant,
1 asked him how he got his strategic
knowledge.
Il got it on the farm when 1 was q
boy" said the General. Il learned il
when was driving oxen, feeding
calves, and breaking horses. One day,
when / was on the old farm in Ohio,
my father taught in a valuable les
son in strategy"
"How," L asked.
well, father took me into the stable
one day, where row of cattle stood
in their uncleaned stalls.
Said he, Ulysses. the stable win
dow is pretty high for boy, but do
you think you could take this shovel
and clean out the stable?'
Il don't know. father said /; Il
never have done it,
We'll, my boy, if you will do it this
morning, I'll give you this bright sill
yer dollar, said my father, patting me
on the head, while he held the silver
dollar before my eyes.
Good, said L; I'll try and then 1
went to work. L tugged and pulled,
and lifted and pulled, and finally it was
done, apd father gave me the bright
silver dollar, saying:
That's right, Ulysses, you did it
splendidly; and now / find you can do
it so nicely, I shall have you do it every
morning all winter. '"-EH Perkins.

SOMETHING FOR TOPERS.
How n Man Who Has Been Downed by
John Barleycorn May Pick Himself Up.


How n Man Who Has Been Downed by
John Barieycorn May Pick Himself Up.
Take any man who is in the habit OF
looking in the bottom of the glass for
pure sociability" at intervals from
noon until midnight, and Tor stomach
comfort before he breaks his fast in the
morning, and let him, after he has
arisen and dressed, repair to drug
store instead of to bar-room. He
has no appetite. He does not feel as
though he were "all there" Instead of
a cocktail, let him ask the druggist to
prepare mixture of these ingredients
and quantities, which, when mixed to-
gether, shall constitute single dose:
Chloroform, five drops.
Tincture of ginger, half teaspoonful.
Compound tincture cardamon, two
teaspoonfuls.
Water, one wineglassful.
Swallow that slowly--take five min
utes to do it. You will be surprised to
find that In about fifteen minutes the
"all gone" feeling will have disap-
peared. A gentle, pleasant warmth is
felt in place of the gnawing sensation,
and in very little while there are de-
cided symptoms of being hungry. A
repetition of the dose inside of an hour,
III case the attack the night before was
very severe, will do no harm. A cup
of black coffee twenty minutes after
the first dose is an excellent thing to
follow with, provided the patient is not
of particularly nervous temperament.
You will find some men whose nerves
become unstrung upon very slight al
coholic provocation, and such men are
prone to try the similia similibus cur
antur racket. The best thing for case
of that kind is the drug store again.
Here is the dose:
Bromide of potassium, 80 grains.
Celerina, two tablespoonfuls.
Elixir valerianate ammonia, two tea
spoonfuls.
I'll guarantee that you will never
resort to whisky again after you have
tried whichever of these doses that
may suit your particular case. AS soon
as you feel able to eat, make your
breakfast of oatmeal principally for
two or three days. On the day after
taking the first dose, invest in two
Havana oranges and substitute the
juice for the pickme-up tonic. If the
stomach rejects the oranges as too
sweet, throw them away and try the
tonic again, but eventually return to
the fruit.
This treatment will begin to show its
effect in a very few days. Instead of
that uneasy, uncomfortable feeling
there will come vigor and a natural
exhilaration that will brighten the eye
and quicken the step. A brisk walk
around the block, if you live in the
brick and mortar section, will not come
amiss. L would even go so far as to
advise five-minutes' exercise with half
pound dumb-bells. Grasp them firmly,
and strike out as though you intended
humping somebody. All that is need
ed is faith and little perseverance, es-
pecially perseverance.

LOckiaw Treated by Rest.

DR.. De Benzi states, in the Riuistd
Clinica, that by treating patients with
traumatic tetanus by means of perfect
rest, he has been able to restore four
out of five to health; whereas, when
treated in other ways, these patients
usually die in two or three days. He
places the case in a special room,
where absolute silence reigns. Even in
the passages leading to it and in the
neighboring wards care is taken to lay
down carpets, SO that no sound shall
penetrate the tetanus ward. The door
of the latter is of course we'll oiled, so
as to open and shut noiselessly, and
the patients ears are stuffed with cot
ton wool, he himself being strictly en-
joined not to make the slightest noise.
He must, OF course, be fed. This
has generally been considered impos-
sible, the teeth being clinched and the
spasmodic contraction being increased
by attempts to masticate. The obstacle
may, however, be easily overcome by
parting the jaws and introducing liquid
food through a curved sound swallow
ing is accomplished without difficulty.
This method of treating traumatic
tetanus has been tried with success by
several Italian practitioners-Drs. Pr
SAM, Maragliano, Ria, etc. The only
disadvantage is that the affection is
sometimes prolonged for two months.
1t seems to increase in duration az it
diminishes in force.-ScientJic Amer

THE COMING GUN.
Weapons of the Hammerless and Magazin,
Patterns the Most Popular.

weapons of the HammerIess and MaEazfne
Patterns the Most Popular.
The gun has evoluted marvelously in
the past twenty years. We can re-
member when the pin fire first came in (;
then the central fire, and old sports
men patted their longtime friends ard
seorned the guns that broke in two.
Now we have hammerless and maya
zine guns, and strange to say, we are
getting back to the small bores used
by our grandfathers, for the other day
held in my hand a twenty which was
listed at 1875, every suitable for Q
lady" and any number of sixteens
about the same figure. That was an inn
ported gun, but there are some mighty
good weapons made in this country
although the great majority are i'm
ported, either finished or in the rough,
from the workshops of Birmingham
and Liege.
The cheapest article on the market
is whOlesaled at Sl.50, with a discount
of twenty-five per cent. for cash, and
it is in high favor among the colored
population of the South. The next
grades are $4 and IS. 25, and you can
get a bOuble-barreI for $40 These
are muzzle-loaders. The cheapest
breech-loader is musket con
verted with the Snyder action This
will cost you 81 85 and is a clumsy but
strong weapon. There are a number
of single brecch-loaders, side-snaps,
top-snaps and other snaps, ranging up
to 80, but none of which Is Of much
account, and the double guns which
run from 81 up. A warranted gun of
American finish can be purchased from
$50 to $75, which will do as good work
as any one could ask.
But the coming gun is the hammer
less, and very handsome ones are
finished in this country and whOlesaled
at from $100to S125in the lower grades,
to 1926 for finest work. Magazine
guns are also coming to the front AT
about the same figures, and although
these latter are as yet somewhat of an
experiment, the experience of those
who handle rifles is in their favor. A
novelty is a duck gun composed oi
seven 32-bore barrels inclosed in
one, which shoots simultaneously
seven long bullet cartridges, and
will kill at 200 yards. Other new
ideas are combination shot and rifle
barrels, side by side and also over and
under. and new double gun which is
choked and rifed on the choke, so that
q bullet is twisted when fired.-Indiaf-

sohooners Lost ON Lake Michigan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Captain Henne-
berry of the schooner City of ShebOygau
telegraphs to this city that his vessel has
gone to the bottom. She is sunk in deep
water and is a total loss. The cook, a
woman, was drowned. Captain Henne.
berry and his crew of seven men escaped
in the yawl and are now at Detour, the
entrance to the Sault river. Very few par
ticulars were given in the dispatch other
than the facts given above and that the
vessel went down after striking a rock
near Detour. The disaster occurred
Thursday night during furiOus storm.
The vessel was loaded with coal and was
bound from Buffalo to Fort Brady. She
was owned by Captain Mitchell, OF
Chicago, and was valued at 81, 500. The
name of the cook could not be leared.
A telegram was received here yester-
day evening announcing that the schooner
Ellen Spry had sunk Saturday afternoon.
She sank in about 600 feet of water
twenty-five miles southwest of the Mani
tou islands. The severe weather caused
were of no avail. The crew took to the
boats and escaped. A cargo of 100 tons
of coal was aboard the schooner consign-
ed from the Lehigh & Franklin Coal Com
pany at Buffalo 10 their yards in Chicago.
The schooner was owned by j. G.. & w.
g. Keith, and was valued at 1923, 900. She
was insured for $4,000 Owing to the
depth of water In which the schooner
went down the vessel and cargo viii be
