The Ruins Of Pompeii

The author of the readable Jubilee.
Tide letters'' published in the London
Tablet, and soon to be issued in book
form las they we'll deserve to be), after
a visit TO Pompeii makes a significant
remark on the change which Christian
ity has wrought in the world, which we
commend to the attentive eonsldera-
ton Of pessimists-to those who are al
ways signing oyer the Wickedness of
mankind, the corruption of society, and
SO forth. IF any one," says the writer
''is inclined to take gloomy view OF
the morality Of these modern days, and
to wonder whether the world has been
made better by Christianity, he would
find a visit to Pompeii fine corrective
for pesslmistic doubts of that kind.''
There is still another paragraph in
the description of the dead city we'll
worth quoting: it brings before us
Pon1peil with it's streets of houses,
just as they were eighteen hundred
years ago, except that the roofs are
gone.
House after house, built almost all
Of them exactly upon the same plan,
let's the least careful traveller see the
domestic life of the dead city just as it
was. In the streets the pavement is
perfect, and the roots of the old wheels
and the hoof marks of the horses are
still there, as though they had been
worn by the traffic of yesterday. Pleas.

life in all its phases lives again to the
eye Of the stranger. You may look

ovens, and even see the loaves which
busy men were making on the morning

The public houses, with their familiar
signs, still show the unbroken wine
jars as they stood filed, waiting for
customers who were thirsty eighteen
hundred years ago. .4.

The Bear Rugged the Thief

An Italian who was travelling
through the country about Los Angeles
with a bear, which he had trained to
wrestle and dance, stopped before a
farmers house late one afternoon, and
after amusing the family with his per-
formances obtained permission to
stay all night. The bear was placed
in the barn for safe keeping. During
the night the family was aroused by a
terrible noise in the barn. Some one
was screaming Murder! Helpp' and
apparently engaged in a struggle for
life. The farmer fastened to the spot
followed by the Italian and others OF
the house, and found the tame bear
with a man IN his embraces, hugging
him tightly, while the poor fellow
struggled frantically to escape. The
bear was muzzled. and could do the
man no serious injury, though h he was
very uncomfortably situated. The
man proved to be dishonest butcher,
who had come to the barn to steal q
fine calf In the darkness he had
stumbled over the bear, who had
seized him and held him fast. The
italian, learning how matters stood,
called out Hug him, Jackf" and the
bear continued to hug him unmerci-
fully until the farmer concluded that
he had been sufficiently punished,
when he was released. The story soon
spread abroad, and the butcher left
the neighborhood to escape the ridi-
cule to which it subjected him.-Saf

The Little Giants Long Speech.

A Chicago man tells new story on
Stephen A Douglass and William II.
Seward. 1t was just before the war,
when both were in the Senate. Douglas
was going on the floor to make great
speech, and Seward called him into
one of the cloak-roOms and said to
him:
Douglas, you're going to make a
big speech. Come and take a drink
with me. have here jug of twenty
year-old brandy sent me by one of my
constituents. Try a little"
But Douglas declined, and soon
afterward made his appearance on the
floor and addressed the Senate in set
effort. After he had finished he again
met Seward in the cloak-room.
you're tired now, Douglas, said
the New Yorker, land you'd better try
drop of that forty-year-old brandy of
mine"
'.Tired!" exclaimed Douglass, II
should say l was. l am exhausted.
Could you expect anything else of
a man who has just finished the long
est speech the world has ever hesrdp"
s'Oh, that wasn't long speech" I"
Seward responded, a little puzzled;
''you were on the floor only fifty
minutes"
Fifty minutesI" the Little Giant re-
torted, reaching for the jug. ''why, ae-
cording to your own story this brandy
has grown twenty years older while I
was speaking. ."-Chicdgo Herald.

He Failed to See It.

A lady who is firm believer in the
cure of everything by the mind. or
rather, in the non-existence of all pains
and maladies, has little boy who
complained of a terrible toothache.
took him to scientist to be cured. and
remarked to that lady as soon as she
had entered the room:
my boy thinks he has q terrible
toothache, Mrs. Scientist, and I have
brought him to you to be cured of it. "
Having brought her attention to the
case, Mrs. Scientist said:
''Now, my little boy, you must look
me right in the eye. "a pause.) Now
you haven't any toothache."
"Yes, have, toop shouted the boy.
The scientist smiled petiently, and
tried it over again.
s'You must look me right in the eyes
and try to forget your toothache," she
said. (Then there was another stead
fast pause.) 'Ah, now you haven't
any toothache."
"Yes, l have, too," shouted the boy
again.
The practitioner went through the
process once more with fresh persua-
sion. The boy seemed inclined to be
quiet this time.
"Well, | guess you haven't any

Nine Remedies in Nine Sentences.

For sore throat cut slices of fat,
boneless bacon, pepper thickly, and
tie around the throat with a flannel
cloth. When stung by bee or wasp.
make a paste of common earth and
water, and put on the place at once
and cover with a cloth. For a cold on
the chest, flannel rag wrung out in
boiling water and sprinkled with tur-
pentine. laid on the chest, gives the
greatest relief. When a felon first
begins to make its appearance, take a
lemon, cut off one end, put the finger
in, and the longer it is kept there the
better. For cough, boil one ounce
of flaxseed in pint of water, strain
and add little honey, one ounce Of
rock candy and the juice of three
lemons; mix and boil well, drink as
hot as possible. Often after cooking
a meal a person will feel tired and have
no appetite; for this beat raw egg
until light, stir in little milk and
sugar and season with nutmeg;
drink half an hour before eating. For
a burn or scald, make a paste of COM
mon baking soda and water, apply at
once and cover with a linen cloth.
When the skin is broken apply the
white of an egg with feather; this
gives instant relief, as it keeps the air
from the flesh. At the first signs of a
run-around, take cup of wood ashes.
put in pan with a quart of cold
water. put the pan on the stove, put
your finger in the pan, keep it there
until the water begins to boil, or as
long as it can be borne; repeat once
or twice if necesssry.-GOod House

Business is Business.

You know that in Washington a cat
may look at king. That is, any resi-
dent or visitor, however humble, is
permitted to call upon the ladies or
members of the Cabinet, Supreme
Judges, and Senators on any recep-
ton day, and the call must be re-
turned, at least by card. Some try
to return all such calls in person.
Last week the conscientious wife of
a Cabinet Minister halted her carriage
in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and
soon found herself climbing stairs to
the third floor. where the lady whose
card she bore was said to live. She
was received with an obsequious
cordiality, and five minutes later, Just
as she was retreating, the lady brought
forth box of beautiful painted fans
and embroidered parasols.
Il make these" she said. 81 can not
call upon rich people to sell them, for
the servants will not let me in; so
call on them and get them to return
my call, and that gives me my chance

leave. II forgive you,' she said. 81

smart for metropolitan newspaper scrib-
blers to sneer at country editors. Horace
Greeley's old remark is trotted out
whenever city editor wishes to crush
his rural brother 1t is true that some
fools and some knaves edit country
journals, but as a rule these ''provin-
cial' editors are ehard-working, shrewd,
fair-minded, and influential men. They
come nearer representing public senti-
ment than their city brethren, because
they are closer to the people. The
metropolitan press owes its distinction
chiefly to men who have been raised in
country newspaper offices. In fact, few
men are properly equipped to even at
tempt to represent sentiment in this re-
public who have not lived in the coun-
try. So much for those who sneer at

Miss Blank is a teacher in the Girls
Latin School. In teaching anatomy
she uses the articulated skeleton of a
girl, and beginners in the study of
anatomy in Miss Blanks class are usu-
ally very much impressed by her
familiarity with the to them Swesome
object Not long ago a new girl in
the class sat through the lesson in q
sort of stupefied silence, gazing fear
fully at the grinning skeleton and
amazedly at the teacher who handled
it with such serene eomposure. When
the lesson was over the new girl; max
ing a frightened detour around the
skeleton, approached Miss Blank, and
in a horrible thrilling whisper in
quired:
..Is that the skeleton of a Latin
School girl or High School girl?"
Miss Blank was obliged to confess
ignorance on that vital point. Bos-
