The Eskimo and their Home.

Frederick @. Schwstks in the American Magazine.

Recently there was gathering Of young mar

were very amusing. One had paved the way to

Another made the acquaintance Of the man who
is now her husband by accidently sousing him

very sorry for her thOughtlesSnesS and insisted on
repairing the damages as far as she could and did

From the Albany journal.
An Albany physician says that Americans suffer
more generally from Bright's disease and nervous
diseases than any other people, and he says the
reason is that Americans sit down so persfstentlv
at their work. He says: "Americans are me
greatest sitters ever knew. While Establishment
Germans, Frenchmen walk and exercise an
American business man will 90 to his once
take his seat in his chair and sit there ali dav
without giving any relief to the tension OF the mus

surrounding the kidneys become soft and nabby.
They loose their vitality. The kidneys Themselves
soon become weak and debilitated. II Americana

Presidents without Middle Names,

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Attention has been called to the fact that the
great men OF America have largely been without a
"middle name" Our first I'VE Presidents had
Washington, Adams, JEFFERSON, Madison
and Monroe. J. Q. Adams broke in Just then, and
was followed with jackson and Van Buren, who
had no middle names. Mr.. Harrison then entered
for o sad and single month with VIM. Il. for his
bapttsmal front, and was followed by Tyler With
no middle name. Mr.. Polk succeeded with his
middle az, I" but after him came q perfect galaxy
OF Presidents with no miedle name-Taylor FIJI
more, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln and johnson
Then came four republican Presidents with mid
die names-Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur.
The list closes with q democratic President GRO.
yer Cleveland, who suStains the grand record.
This country has had twenty-five Presidenrs Of
which fifteen have had no middle names Only
seven have suffered from that superiority.

THE IEAkNED CONF RESSMAN.
Eae Rings iu "a h'oeul or Spring in
His Biography.

1t is well known that Senators and
Congressman write their own bio
grapties that appear in the Congress-
ional Directory. This fact makes them
all the more interesting. The states
men are allowed in Il general way to
say what they please, but there are
instances where the compiler of the
iii ectory has to do some pretty
thorough pruning.
One Arkansas Congressman wrote
in answer to the usual request what
wonld have filled dozen pages OF the
recto,y. He gave the full history
# his and wile's families, the charac-
t 'ristics of his children, the names Of
the husbands and children of those
ma, ried, and introduced several Illus
trated sketches Or incidents in bear
and bee and coon hunting. He intro
duced a poem on spring written by
his second eldest son, gave the names
of two young fellows, rivals for the
hand of one of his daughters named
"Pink," and described the distress
she was suffering over the question Of
which she should choose. The COM
piler cut the biography" down to
eight lines.
A Kentucky Congressman, in his
biography. described a stock farm
owned by him, named the horses and
gave their pedigree, records aud prices
Ano her Kentuckian mentioned,
among events OF his eventful life, the
number of fights he had been in, and
gave descriptions of two, in each of
which he had killed a man, and gave
the names Of the men he had slaugh-
tered
One Ohio man gave the number OF
sheep he owned, the fluctuations in
the prices of wool in an elaborate
table, and introduced u strong protest
against a reduction Of the duty on
wool, all of which was sacrificed.
A Congressman from Iowa sent in
his biography in verse, and very bad
verse, too. Another from the same
State stated that he was living separ-
ate from his wi e, but in detailed
statement laid all the blame on her,
and appealed to his bro' her Congress-
men to overlook the matter, and TO
the speaker not 10 allow himself to he
Influenced by it in assigning him to
