WHAT is THE BEST SOCIETY ?
Our Dumb Animals.


Some years ago we were visiting
Vermont, and met there lady
who seemed bent upon impressing
her country acquaintances with the
fact that she moved iu the best soci-
ETY.. In the presence of a consider
able company one day she glibly
named some of the wealthiest fami.
les of Boston and then turning
to Us said: 'sAre the So-and Soes
in the best society,"" We saw the
point, and answered.: e" Well, really
1 cannot say, madam ; 1 have no re-
collection of ever netting them
there" The company were amused.
and she asked no more questions.
But this brings us to the point:
What is the best society? We are
decidedly of opinion that the best
society for each of us is that which,
in the long run. makes us the hap
piest. Books, to some, are the best
society. Horses are mighty good
society for those that love them.
Dogs are mighty good society for
those that love dogs. We once had

TWO SLANG PHRASES.
Some Anecdotes of Charles Queen, the
 Actor and Humorist.

Some Anecdotes of Charles Queen, the Actor and Humorist.
 Charles Queen was a good deal of a wit, in his way, and was the author of at least two well-known expressions, "A cold day when we get left, " and ''Chuck full of blue mud.
 The origin of the first expression was this: '.Mr. Queen had friend in Elizabeth, N. J., with whom he always stayed when playing in that city. One Sunday morning the two started out for a ''bracer," but Sunday closing law that had just gone into effect in terfered with their project. How ever, they hired a rig and started to drive into the country, having made up their minds not to return until they had secured that drink. They had to drive more than fifteen miles before return to the home of MT. Queens friend they were glad to get near the fire and thaw themselves out, the weather being bitterly cold.
 Well" exclaimed the hosts wife, as she came into the room where the two worthies were hugging the stove, ''I don't wonder you two men are al- most frozen; the thermometer is only ten above zero"
 "Yes," replied Queen, winking at his friend, tits cold day, but we didn't get left. :"
 The next week, while playing in New York, he repeated the expression to one of the actors, who used it that night on the stage, and in few weeks it had travelled from one end of the United States to the other.
 One day, while walking along Broad way, Queen accidently stepped into pail of blue calcimine that stood on the edge of the sidewalk. He scraped the calcimine off as well as he could, but before he reached home it had dried on his shoe and on the bottom of his trousers. A friend meeting him on the street, stopped him, and asked what was the matter.
 70, nothing," replied Queen, "only I'm chuck full of blue mud. "-Detron Free Press

A Coal Dealers Heart.

A coal dealer in the suburbs was called upon at his office by a poor, hard-working woman and requested to send a basket of coal to her home. "We do not deliver so small quanti- ty," was the merchants reply. 'It is our invariable rule never to deliver less than quarter of ton." But I can not pay for so much," was the pitiful confession" and I have left my little children at home in a fireless room. What am I to do?" "WeIl, !" returned the dealer, kindlier light beaming in his eye, II can not depart from my rules as to the quantity" :" Then turning to his clerk he continued: "John, have quarter of ton of coal sent to the woman's address as soon as possible" ." But I can not pay for so much," she expostulated. q already understand that you can't, so I will charge it to the children. Give yourself no more uneasiness about the debt than they will be liable to do. Good morning. "-BostOm Budget.

A QUEER COLLECTION.
Bottled Waters from Many Rivers the Hobby of Two Travelling Englishmen.

| Bottled Waters from Many Rivers the Hobby of Two Travelling Englishmen.
 It is surprising how many peculiar things a man will do when he has more time and money at his disposal than he knows what to do with.
 Not long since two young English men of fortune were travelling in this country. They visited many sections, and one day their conversation at tracted the attention of a fellow trav- eler. A conversation in which all three joined followed.
 ''What is your destination?" was asked of the Englishmen.
 We scarcely know yet. But we are at present en route for the Mississippi river," replied one of them.
 "Merely for the sake of getting a look at that mighty stream?"
 "Well, no, not entirely. The truth is, want some of the water from the Mississippi river"
 Want some of the water! What forP'
 '"To keep" And amused at the.ex- pression on his questioner's face he continued: "lou see, my friend and self have a larger income than we can spend. We longed for something new, and together we decided to travel. We thought it would be more pleasant for both if we had some object in view, and we wanted to do something different from any body else, so we concluded to make collection of waters from all the principal rivers of the earth. We have visited Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and now intend to do North America. What are these col lections for? Merely to gratify whim of the collector. and we are doing that very thing. Already we have sent home many small vials, each labeled, so there can be no mistake, and when we do North America we will have finished the globe.
 "How long do you intend to keep the collection?n
 Always, of course. Do you think we would carelessly destroy what has taken so long to cOllect?"
 "Well, I scarcely think so, but do you intend to submit the waters to some chemist or other for analysis?"
 "We hadn't thought of it. As ' told you, we do this merely to pass the time, spend our money, see the world while we are young, and gratify whim; and you may believe that So far we have had any amount of pleasure out of it. t."- Chicago Tribune.

blood is caused by no exercise. Thin persons can add to their weight by eX- ercise, and stout persons can reduce their weight by dieting and exercising. For rheumatism there is nothing bet ter than exercise and sweating. The Russian bath is the best bath to take for this sweating. The bath itself, iD one form or another, has been known and its virtues acknowledged in all ages and in all parts of the world.
 As civilization advances clothes multiply themselves upon our bodies, and the more clothing we accustom ourselves to wear, the more clothing we think we need, until every portion of our bodies, except our face and hands, is now covered and carefully concealed from the rays of the sun and the action of the air. It will be readi- ly seen that this is most abnormal state of things, and the idea that SC powerful an agent in the production of life and health can be replaced by any amount of medicine or any internal remedies must appear prepOsterous to every reflective mind. Place a plant under such unnatural conditions and it will bleach, wilt and die. The same is true in degree of the animal crea- tion. The whole process of nature is a continual breaking down and build ing up of tissue. It never stops for a single instant, and when the building stops the breaking down is found to progress with extraordinary rapidity.
 To be healthy the cigarette must be thrown away. It is very injurious and sure death to those who smoke them hdbitually. Tobacco in any form is bad. In a cigarette there are five poi
 sons, in a good cigar only one. In a cigarette there is the oil in the paper, the oil of nicotine, saltpeter to pre- serve the tobacco, and opium to make it mild and the oil in the flavoring. The trouble with the cigarette is the inhaling of the smoke. If you blow mouthful of smoke through handker- chief you will find it leaves brown stain. Inhale the smoke or blow it through the nostril and all the stain will disappear. The oil and poison remains in the head or body. Cigar cites create a thirst for rum. There should be anti-cigarette societies as there are temperance societies. Teach CTS ought to watch and see that their pupils do not smoke. In 1879 100000 cigarettes were manufactured Last year there were 1,2O0, ,OOO,0OO. Prof J II. Lafim, CbampiOn Athlete of tue World, in N T. MdH and Express.

STANDING ALONE.

The baby is standing all lonely
 The children shout in their glee- And father and mother and auntie
 Must hurry and come and see. So baby-the cute little darlingl
 Is put through the wonderful feat, And fondled and kissed and commended For being so smart and sweet. With the cuaeingest air of triumph
 She stands in the midst of us all- While the oSsStretched arm of her mother Is ready to save fall, And whenever the little one totters Around her is hastily thrown. " lis ve;ry fine fun" thinks the baby '''Ihj frolic of standing aloner AS- many a time in the future
 , de'n long for the aid of that arm, " nen the love and care of a mother
 No longer can shield her from harml For ott when our need is the sorest,
 There's no one to whom we can turn; And standing alone is lesson
 'Tis hard for a woman to learn. And often and over, my baby,
 Before life'S Journey is done, You will yearn in your heart of weakness For something to lean upon. When the props upon which you depended Are taken away or o'erthrown, You will find 'tis tlresome, baby $50 wearisome! Standing alone. Mrs II. p. Handy. in Philadelphia Ne'os.

 Remember, Honora,' said Mrs Perkins to the new nurse girl, ''that l do not allow the children to hear stories that might frighten them when they go to bed. You may tell them about birds and harmless little fairy stories, but nothing about bears or lions"
 "Yis, mem," replied Honora, and this was the harmless little story she told that night:
 'Wanst there wuz 8 gr-r-r-eat big monsther of an animal wid horns an a tail of hot fire an teeth a yard long that wint around in the dead of the noight atin up little byes un' girruls that boddered their nurse asl1in' her to get up an give them wather in the noight an tell in how she lift the baby for a wurrud wid the perlace-min0 in the parruk and litle things loike that.

 The root of the commonwealth is in the homes of the people. The social and civil life springs from the domestic life of manhood. The official life of a nation is ordinarily the reflex of the moral sense of the people. The moral ity of public administration is to be guarded by the moral standard of the family.

 Whenever and wherever the con- ditions of successful marriage are not complete then marriage is a failure. Marriage is failure when it is entered into merely as a civil contract. There are men who hunt for wives as they would for COWS, and there are women who hunt for husbands as they would for carriage horses, and when found it is merely civil contract. It is fail ure when it is merely matter of con- venience, or for money, or for social position. 5. 5. Tyler.

Fishermen, Arouse.

BY the death of Jos. r. Elkinton the
fishermen have lost their champion In
the State Board of Fish Commission
err and Governor Green has reappoint-
ed Richard S. Jenkins, of Camden, to
the vacancy. 1t was principally be-
cause Of his appointment last winter,
his ineffeciency and lack OF interest
taken in the fishing industry and his
friendliness to the seine fishermen that
the Republicans took the appointment
from the Governor, and dropped only
Mr.. Jenkins from the Boatd in their
appointments in joint session of the
Legislature.
Mr.. Elkinton's appointment was most
acceptable to nearly all in this section
because he would uphold the interest
of our fishermen and have influence to
hinder any menacing laws from being
passed, in his position asa State official,
who is supposed and should know what
is best for the fish and fishermen. Mi.

Death Of Leap Year.

Oh, girls, they say that leap years gone!
Ican't believe it's true;
/ fear we've wasted precious time
Know l have, have you?
The fact is this-so many sweets
To Gull from dazes one,
n we're such modest, tender things,
So bashtul every one
That when we ventured over far,
Like roses in the sun,
with sweet words trembling on our lips,
And askings Just begun,)
We blushed, and trembled, and looked down
And left one.half unsaid.
And fiuttered on, for every fright,
With all our sweets unshed.
SO time has slipped away, and now,
Old Leap Years dead and gone,
Come, let's plant willows DER his grave,
And hang our harps upon;
Oh, dreadful, direiul eighty-n nine,
No word for you but hate,
But we've a longing, lingering love
For dear old lightweight.
And, laddles, are ye glad it's gone,
This harvest of the fair?
Nc more sweet-scented billet deux
Shall fret your etagere,
No pretty little batting now,
With hooks but thinly clad,
For blue-eyed viii or black.eyed Phil,
Or any other lad.
We know you'll miss us over much
It's lonely you'll allow;
But We cant help the flight OF time,
Or turn it backward now,
There's something sweet we'd like to tell
You Fred, and Ned, and Lew;
We cannot now, 1t is too late:
just walt till nInety-two.
