The Apostle Of Liberty.

Col. Thomas, one time member Of

saws Washington letter to the New

old DAYS told the following about Thad-
deus Stevens:
..Thaddeus Stevens was sitting in his
Office with few friends when in walk
cd an o d LADY wearing poke bonnet
blue goggles, and carrying a green
alpaca umbrella. She looked around
the room rs if in search of some one

shortly.
Are you Thadde-e-us Stevens the
apostle of libcrty?"

The old lady dropped her parasol,
made u rush toward Stevens to KISS
him, and when he held her of she
said:
~ came from Bucks county to see
Thadde-e-us Stevens. the apostle OF
liberty. and to take home with me a
lock of his hair.
The apostle of liberty, took off his
red wig, handed it to her and said:
There it is, ma'am. Take as much

Moorish Beauty.

The Moors have extraordinary ideas
concerning female beauty. They fancy
an oily skin, teeth protruding beyond
the lips, pointed nails an inch long and
a figure so cOrpulent that two persons
putting their arms around the waist
could scarcely make their fingers
touch. A woman of moderate preten-
Sions to beauty needs a slave under
each arm to support her as she walks,
and a perfect belle carries weight
enough to load a camel. Mothers are
so anxious to have their daughters
attain this unwieldy size that they
make them eat great quantity of
millet pudding and drink several bowls
of camels' milk Il day. MOngO Park
says he has seen Il poor girl sit crying
for more than an hour with the bowl
at her lips, while her mother stood
over her with stick and beat her
whenever she perceived that she was
not swallowing.
The MOOrs marry at 4 very early
age and wives are always purchased.
The father of the girl cannot refuse
an offer unless there is some stain on
the young mans character. If a wife
does not become the mother of a son
she may be divorced by the husband.
The mother of many sons is held in
the highest respect and is never suffer-
ed to perform any mental office.

political friends, and he was asked how
he had ever been persuaded to allow
his Jimmy to enter politics 1T
was like this" he said. when he
was yet quite small boy | hit upon q
plan to test him. did not know what
to put him at when he grew up; so one
day took a Bible, an apple and a
silver dollar, and placed them side by
side on table in our parlor. Then L
sent Jimmy in there on some pretext.
My idea was this: After he had been
in the parlor few moments l would
go in ard see what he was up to. If
he had taken up the apple, intended
to make him a farmer; if he had picked
up the silver dollar. would make him
a banker, and if he had selected the
Bible, | would have him trained for the
ministry. Well, ] gave him few
minutes time and then looked in on
him. He had the Bible under his arm,
with the silver dollar between the
leaves, and he was eating the apple.
For moment | regarded him with
amazement. Then l said to myself,
The boy is a - hog, and Pll have to
put him into politics. And that is
how my Jimmy became a politician,

waiter and the first man paid for the

& Dolls HOUSE.

The costliest dolls house probably
in the world is that made by u Chi
cago man for his 4-year-old daughter
at q cost of So, 500. 1t is built of brick,
with q tower and cupola like an an
cient castle, and looks for all the
world like a reproduction of the great
modern residence of some millionaire.
1t has a little flight of steps leading
up to the solid oak front door and an
electric push bell for the convenience
Of the baby visitors OF the happy
mistress of the house. On this door,
which, by the way, is four feet high,
is the name of the proprietor on a
silver plate. There is hallway light
ed by miniature gas lamp suspended
from the ceiling, and it is finished in
the choicest of hard wood. There
are umbrella and hat racks Of appro-
pirate dimensions. Elegant draperies
cover the parlor doors, and the parlor
is fitted up in grand style. The
furniture is all of white enameled
wood, covered with white brocaded
silk. There is an elegant mantel filed
with bric-a- brac of the choicest kind,
and little lamps of the rarest patterns
A beautiful chandelier, furnished with
real gas, hangs from the center OF the
room. Center tables, divans, easy
chairs, sofas, etc, fill no the apart
ment. Dolls from Paris occupy
positions here and there just like real
people Then there is a diningroOm
furnished complete, with sideboard5,
china closets, etc. of rich design. The
bed room is a marvel of beauty, and is
replete with all conveniences. The
ceiling in every room is six feet two
inches high, and the upper stories are
just big enough for 4-year- olds to move
about comfortably.

LIFE IN JAPAN.
A Very Small Income Sufficient
for the Necessaries of Life.

A Very Small Income Sufficient
for the Necessaries of Life.
From an article in the Century by
the artist Woress is taken the follow
ing: In Japan women have always
held higher position than in other
Asiatic countries. They go about
freely wherever they please and the
seclusion of the Chinese is wholly I'M
known to them. The schools receive
as many girls as boys, and as q result
of my observation | can safely say,
without idle compliment, that the
former are brighter than the latter.
BY degrees and under these favora-
BILE conditions for general observations,
some of the causes Of the peoples
happy spirit Of independence began to
be revealed to me. The simplicity of
their lives, in which enters no selfish
rivalry to Guido one another, accounts
in a large measure for this enViable
result. Regarding one another very
much as belonging to one family, their
mode of life is more or less on the
same plane, and consequently u spirit
of great harmony prevails. A very
small income is sufficient to supply the
ordinary necessities of life, and every
thing else is secured with but little
effort. Household effects are few and
inexpensive, and should everything be
destroyed by fire or lost in any way it
is not an irreparable calamity. All
can be replaced at a small outlay, and
it goes on as before.
The tenant upon renting a house is
put to little expense to furnish it; in
deed, he requires no furniture at all.
The clean, tinely-wOven mats, which
cover the floor, serve as a table, chair,
and bed, and as it is the universal
custom to remove the shoes before en-
tering Il house, there is no danger of
ones bringing with him dirt from the
streets.
His bedding consists OF cotton qnilts
which are spread out on the floors at
night, rolled together in the morning
and stored away in a closet during the
day. A few pictures (kakemona) and
specimens of beautiful script deco
rate the walls, a few vases contain
sprays of flowers, and a number Of
cushions on the floor complete the fur
nishing OF q room.

In his Problem of Health" DIR.
Greene says that there is not the re-
hottest corner or little inlet OF the
minute blood vessels Of the human
body that does not feel some wavelet
from the commissions occasioned by
good hearty laughter The life princi-
pie of the central man is shaken to its
innermost depths, sending new tides
of life and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more rap
idly, and conveys a different impress
sion to all the organs of the body, as
it visits them on that particular mystic
journey when the man is laughing,
from what it does at other times. For
this reason every good hearty laugh in
which a person INDUCES tends to
lengthen his life conveying, as it does,
new and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces. London Standard.

For many years the editor of this
paper WAS a great sufferer from what
IS known as nervous headache. He
usually suffered one day out of every
three or four weeks, and the suffering
was most intense. Numerous physicians
were consulted, and almost countless
remedies tried, but with varying effect.
Sometimes remedy would give relief
Il few times, and then lose its effect,
while others afforded no relief what
ever
We at length happened upon the
following prescription, now nearly
two years ago, which so effectually
checked the disease, that we consider
ourselves free from it, since a few
doses never fails to give relief.
SO many persons have applied to us
for the prescription that it is almost
impossi BILE to write it out and send to
them. During the session of the
Louisville conference, while in the
church yard brother who had wit
IGSSeu our suffering III LllLdDGUHIONI IL
made inquiries about our headache,
and on giving account of our cure,
quite a number asked us to send them
the prescription, but the names being
so numerous we told them we would
publish it in the Central, then all
could use it who wished. Here it is,
any druggist will be able to fill it
without trouble.
Elixir of Guarana, six ounces; Bro
mide of Ammonia, three drachms;
Citrate of Caffeine, three grains. Dose,
one or two teaspoonfuls every hour,
until relief is obtained.
Observe, when you feel the headache
coming on, promptly take a dose, as
above, and either sit down, quietly, or
lie down, for short time; ana if this
rule is strictly observed the second
dose will not often be required. Cen

Formula for Buying a Horse.

A friend of mine, who is q green
horn in the matter of horsehesh, was
anxious to purchase a horse, but was
much afraid of being taken in. He
tried to persuade an acquaintance eT-
perienced in such matters to accom-
pany him to inspect an animal that
was on sale at a horse dealers estab-
lishment. There's no occasion" said
the latter, "for me to accompany you.
All you have to do is to seem knowing.
When you get to the place put your
hands in your pockets and your stick
under your arm, and in an Off-hand
manner say, Groom, run him down.
Now then, pull him up and let him
walk, then in a knowing but doubtful
tone, Open his mouth. What did you
say his age was? l think he's little
long in the tooth. Seven years did
you say he was? | should call him
ten or eleven years old. Oh, he's a
very COLBY little chap; but | think
you're asking out of the way" My
friend found the above an excellent
formula. Pail Mall Gazette.
