IT may be safely said that not one
drummer in ten likes his situation,
says the Trade Reuieto. After the
novelty of the life wears off, an intense
loathing of the road grows upon him.
There is something utterly repugnant
to tho average man in being obliged,
willy nilly, to hurry from place to place
~ il driven by an engine. To q
married man it is especially SO, and
therefore most drummers are young
and single.

How to Drink.

Says the Sanitary Inspector. re-
gArding exercising care in drinking:
An exchange notices as q wise pre-
caution the act Of Philadelphia ply
stefan, who, while riding in railroad
car, gave one of his children drink of
water by spreading a clean handker-
chief over the top of the glass to pre-
vent the contact of the child's lips with
the tumbler. A still better exped.ent
with the same object in view has often
been resorted to by the writer, and his
children have been instructed to prac-
tice the same precaution when obliged
to drink from q mug or tumbler when
on the cars, steamboats, or at public
drinking fountains. II consists in
bringing the lower edge of the drink
ing cup beneath the lower lip, instead
of letting it come in contact with the
mucous membrane of the mouth.
Teach the children to stick their whole
bill into the cup when they take .
drink under such circumstances, for IL
avoids q real and considerable danger
Of INFECTION from certein contagious
diseases.

A MODERN Samson has appeared IN
the person of Charles H. Sampson, Of
Germany, who, in an exhibition at New
York, broke 125 thicknesses of steel
wire cable, or in all 1000 strands, by
the expansion of his chest. He also
broke steel trace-chain, fastening it
about his chest and bursting its links
like SO much glass. Gas-pipe an inch
in diameter he bends into elbows by
striking the pipe across his left arm.
He has successfully pulled in tug-of-
war against twelve strong men. He
can Stay steer with blow of his fist,
and has medals to show that he accom-
plished this feat in the presence of the
Emperors William and Francis Joseph.
