Peter Rasmussen has just sailed from
BALTIMORE for Norway, his native country,
where he will preach the gospel without
receiving any salary. He does this in
accordance with a vow he made twenty. five
years ago, that if he was blessed in bust
ness he would do the work he has now on
tered upon. Mr.. Rasmussen deserves to be
commended. A great many people would
have forgotten that promise as soon as
wealth began to pour in upon them.

Secretary Bayard was in New York Sun
day, and of course he fell into the hands of
the interviewer. Not all the shrewdness of
the reporter, however, could get him to
express a preference for vice president. He
was warm in his praise of Mr.. Thurman,
and very complimentary to the other candi-
dates. The administration is keeping mum.

Who has fine Hair, and desires to pre-

toilet preparation in the market.
B. NJ. Johnson, NJ. D., Thomas Hill,

Vigor in my family for a number Of
years, and regard it as the best hair

satisfactory results"
Mrs. S. A. Rock, of Anderson, Texas,

malarial, fever. After 1 got well my
hair commenced coming out, and so con-

Mr.. Guy Maine. the Chinese lecturer,
related the following instance in regard
10 Chinese tea drinking the other oven.
ing to a reporter He said that when he
was boy about II years old he lived
with his father, who was little near
sighted, In cottage in tho southern part
or China. One day he was cleaning out
his fathers tea kettle and could not get
all the tea leaves out, SO he put his hand
In the kettle, About half hour after
ward his father called for his tea. which
Guy took to him and returned to
work. Shortly the old gentleman called
him again and asked him if he did not
tell him never to put his hand in the tea
kettle.
WELL" said Guy, Il did not know
whether my father was peeking through
the keyhole watching me or not. So
let three weeks pass when knew my
father was out on business, and again
put my hand in the tea kettle. That
evening was called to answer the cues
ton which was asked me several weeks
before. But you can rest assured from,
that time to this l have never put my

At a French Social Gathering.


Take large French family reunion.
Few social pictures are prettier There
is very likely an entire absence of that
hearty familiarity which characterizes
our Thanksgiving or Christmas gather
ings. The children do not romp, the
grown people do not appear as if at last
restraint and formality could be thrown
aside with clear conscience. The Wis
itors do not make themselves perfectly
at home" the hosts do not invite them to
do SO, or treat them as if such were the
case. There is everywhere perfectly APP
parent the French veneer of artificial
courtesy. Children are treated with DO
likeness and not Rugged; babies are ban
ished-are generally, in fact, in a state
of chronic exile; if at times every one
is talking at once it is evidently be-
cause of the social desire to contribute
to the conversation, rather than because
of the unsocial disposition to neglect
ones neighbours appropriations abys-
NAL difference in itself; there are no I'M
comfortable silences passed in simply
Sitting round" and cudgeling ones
brains as to what to do next; the great
art and enjoyment Of social life be-
ing conversation-exchan of ideas, or
notions, original or trite, but always cast
IN more or less careful form-games are
far schooner than among us resorted to
as substitute, and being invariably for
money probably owe their popularity to
the ingrained French disposition toward
avarice; an avarice which always seems
curious to us, but about which in its
milder manifestations there is never any
concealment.
Games themselves are never conducted
in silence. The solemn stiffness that
with us accompanies the rubber of whist,
which is more and more tending to be-
come, even as played by the young and
a tremendously serious thing,
and which indicates clearly that the |
game is an end iii itself and not a
pastime, is unknown outside the clubs in
France. An occasional old gentleman
who, when the stakes are high, insists on
a subordination of talk and vigorously
represses his partners tendency to dis
cursiveness, is voted a nuisance.-W. C.
Brownell in Scribner's Magazine.

A Woman's Discovery

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this coun-
ty. Disease fastened its clutches upop
her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incesantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much relieved
on taking first dose that she slept all
night and with one bottle has been mi
cure.i. Her name is Mrs. L.u-
Their Lutz." Thus write w. c. Hamrick

Probably there are no other people so
peculiarly liable to dyspeptic troubles as
Americans. They are VIGOROUSLY cratic,
not only in their habits of eating, but in
other ways of living. They are always
ION the jump" Personal convenience
and welfare are among the minor con-
siderations; there is always some other
to take precedence. To acquire wealth
is the one aim Of many, but not all.
Some have noble purpose in life-.to
win in the art, the literary, the scientif.,,
or the political world, places which can
not be easily filed when they are gone.
But ambition is sipgularly the character
istic of all. None seem satisfied with the
present; all cherish fond hopes of the
future. Nor is this passion as rule
moderate in intensity, wisely regulated
and limited to healthy stimulus. Many
feel its full tenacity and power, and ali
other promptings are held in check by it.
Again, it is too often i'll directed, and
when it is, mind and body inevitably
suffer. In a word, Americans are a rest
less people, possessed by that constant
and wearing anxiety to better" their
condition. The more they acquire. the
more they want.-Boston Herald.

Perfect health, while conducive tn
mental serenity and soundness, has not
been shown to promote or produce de-
cided activity of intellect. The abso-
lutely healthy man is more likely to ex-
Gel in the baseball field, more apt to de-
velop into being whose extreme type
OF animal perfection is found in a Sulli-
van, than to become a Humboldt or a
Herschel. Perfect Drawn has not been
shown to lead to gifted brains. The man
whose body is a perfect machine, an
swerinS to all demands upon it, con-
ferring the keenest pleasures in life upon
Its possessor, is the man to win fame in
fields where mere brain work Is not the
desideratum. He will be foremost to
launch new enterprises and in opera
tons demanding risk, bodily exertions,
physical strain. These he will do be-
cause therein he finds safety valve for
his surplus vitality. He could not en-
dure the sedentary life which the close
student or the successful merchant finds
absolutely necessary for the conduct of
his professional or business duties.
But, on the other hand, the man whose
cratic liver or complaining stomach re-
minds him of the silortness and uncer-
tainty of things mundane, will be the
prudent, thoughtful. calculating and
generally successful business man. The
man whose imperfection of bodily health
gives him no hope OF enjoying life as he
otherwise would, will, according to the
divine law of compensation, find in the
exercise of his mental faculties, what his
healthy brethren find in pleasures of the
senses. If his tastes lie in the line of
money getting, his admonishing liver or
stomach help to make him shrewd, close.

THE DRESSED TURKEY.

A farmer kind and able
A nice fat turkey, raised on corn,
To grace the pastors table.
The farmers lad went with the fowl,
And thus addressed the pastor:
Dear me, II amt tiredl Here is
A gobbler from my master"
The pastor said: ''Thou shouldst not thus
Present the fowl to me;
Come, take my chair, and for me act,
And will act for thee
The preachers chair received the boy,
The fowl the pastor took
Went out with it and then came In
With pleasant smile and look.
And to hisyoung pro tenn. he said:
Dear sir, my honored master
Presents this turkey, and his best
Respects to you, his pastor"
'Good" said tho boy; "your master d
A gentleman and scholar!
Ny thanks to him, and for yourself,
Here Is half dollar!"
The pastor felt around bis mouth
A most peculiar twitching;
And to the gobbler holding fast,
He "bolted" for the kitchen.
He gave the turkey to the cook,
And came back in minute,
Then took the youngsters hand and left
A half dollar in It.

Grains OF Truth.
lbrattioboro correspondence OF Springfield
Republican,

lBrattleboro correspondence OF Springfield
Republican,
The Legislature it seems is to ad-
journ before Thanksgiving, notwith-
standing the talk of more time for the
consideration of important measures
not yet reached, Looking over the
record already made, it will be gener-
ally admitted that very little has been
accomplished, and the Legislature Of
1888, like many of its predecessors,
will not be remembered for its great
wisdom or exceeding virtue, and many
will, doubtless, conclude that sit
were about rs well had they never
met. 80 far as regulating railroad
abuses the present body is inefficient
and cowardly. Unfortunately, broken
pledges are of little account with the
average legislator, who knows too
well that he is not likely to be held
responsible for non-action by his con-
stltuents, even though the latter may
have been instrumental in furnishing
a. code of principles for his party.
The dominating influence of railroad
management, though not so prominent
as in years gone by, is still effective
and noticeably supreme about the
capital. No matter how formidable
the trend of public opinion in advance,
a few faithful followers can always
be relied on to stem the tide before
the assembled lawmakers. Few will
be disappointed that the legislators
have failed to keep faith with the re-
publican platform, for it is an open
secret that the platform was early
condemned by its protested friends
At the time of its adoption in the
state convention. Some day there
nay come reckoning, although it is
pretty evident that it is not TO be in
he year of 1888.

is simply enormous in this very valuable
