 BY MATTE W. BAKER.
 Every family has one, It Is said. and Cousin Azubah was the skeleton in the Warren fam fly. There might have been a far Norse one' to be cure, for there was nothing bad about her, she was simply tiresome. Her mind was small and narrow like her body, and she had SO far outIived her own childh hood If she ever had one, which sprightly Bell Warren pro fessed to disbelieve}, as to have no sympathy whatever with children or young people. she was a regular ''wet blanket" on all scenes Of merriment, and her freq quent strains of solemn moralIzIng were usually prefaced by the re. mark, Wal. this Is dyin worldi"
 Cousin AEubah was own cousin to both Mir and Mrs. Warren, although tbey were not at all related. Ten years before this she had been left all alone Tn the world with no home. and in the kindness of their hearts they had offered her a home, SO here she had been ever since. She was one of the family, hel ped about the housework or the sewing, and especially the knitting. but all in such 8 slow, lifeless way that Mary Jane often declared privately that it drove her almost wild.
 "Id rather do all she does twice over, than to hear her groan overi 1t"
 Cousin AZubah was weakly. or thought she was, which amounts to about the same thing She often complained of an "impediment in her back"
 "Tve always enjoyed ruther poor health," she was wont to say meekly. "and l always expect to. My mother and grandmother be. fore mo was both took bed rid before they was forty, and expect nothn' but what shall be-"

How to Obtain Health,

The great secret of unvarying health
is before every thing, to have a body
in high state of vigor, and once hav-
ing that to keep it. There is less wis.
dom in studying the ways of curing
an ailing frame than in giving your at.
tention to those of obtaining a hearty
one that never becomes ailing. A
proper physique sheds pains, aches,
disorders, illnesses, diseases, epidemics
as duck does water, and enables its
owner to laugh at doctors bills. 1t
confers upon its possessor happiness
amid the heaviest misfortunes and
gives the surest promise of longevity.
10 obtain it, have some regular bust.
ness that will give you an interest in
life and make you alive all over,
without over-working you; shur

your habits; avoid dissipation; sleer
enough; eat plain, wholesome food. the
best of the kind, and, above all, devote
yourself methodically to some athletic
pursuit, such as will give you exercise

can in the open air. Then forget yor

ON Glade Mountain, West Virginia, re-
sides perhaps tho most peculiar family in
tho country. 1t is family OF condolences.
The father and mother were married on the
18th day of October; they have had nine
children, all OF whom were born on the 18th
I OF October; five Of the children are dead,
and all i've OF them ceased to breathe on
the 18th day Of October. Thename Of the
head OF the family is Joshua Franklin. He
says that he was Confederate soldier; that
he was captured twice by the Yankees, and
that he lost two brothers In the war, and
that all four OF the mishaps or misfortunes
OF war occurred on tho memorable 18th Of

DISABLED ANIMALS,

4 The Danger OF Allowing Unskilled "Cov
/ Doctors to Treat Them.
Even on the best regulated farms,
when all due care is exercised, animals
will get sick and disabled. In such
cases it is best, when practicable, tc
call in skilled veterinary surgeon at
once. BY prompt and skillful atten.
ton an injury may often be repaired
and an animals usefulness preserved,
or a simple ailment may be prevented
from growing into something more
serious, 50 that the extra expense is
usually a saving in the end. In the ab-
sence Of a veterinarian, the family ply.
stefan may sometimes be pressed into
service. He will often do quite as we'll
as q "vet'' when willing to act in this
capacity. Some farmers are quite sue
cessful in treating the simple ailments of
their stock themselves. These are
men who have made an intelligent
study of the structure and habits of the
animals in their care and when symp-
toms of functional disturbance pre-
sent themselves they can make
pretty correct diagnosis of the case and
get at the root of the difficulty As
rule, however, the way in which sick
and disabled animals are dosed and
treated, in the absence of competent
medical skill, by their well-meanine
owners and the local ''horse doctor,''
is simply atrocious. We have known
man to bore half inch anger hole
clear through the skull of muley COW
as a remedy for what he called hollow
horn" 1t is scarcely necessary to ex-
plain that the cow died.
In another case an ignorant fellow,
who treated most of the sick animals
in his neighborhood, poured a pound
of quicksilver down horse as remedy
for colo. The dose ruptured the poor
horses stomach and he was soon re-
loved from his sufferings. Turpentine
poured into a cows ears is common
remedy for all sorts of imaginary ills.
II the poor Gov shakes her head it is
doing her good. Cayenne pepper is
used in the same way. The actions Of
the animal testify to the excrlciatins
suffering caused by the application OF
such fiery substances to an extremely
sensitive surface. In fact sick animal
is often more danger from the ''doctor.
ing" of some ignorant quack or its
thoughtless owner than from the dis.
ease which the treatment is aimed at.
There are quachs among veterinarians
as well as among family physicians.
and unless man can show a diploma
from reliable veterinary college it is,
as rule, safer to trust the case tc
nature than to have any thing to dc
with him. Don't waste time and add t.
an animals sufferings by administering
heroic remedies for such mythical dis.
eases as "hollow horn'' "wolf-tail, etc.
If cows horns are cold boring them /
and blowing pepper into the holes viii!

is probably at the bottom of the whole
difficulty. If good medical skill is moi

ANTIQUITY OF SUGAR.
Tho Process of Making the Sweet Ynb
stance of Chinese Origin.

Tho Process of Making the Sweet 9nb-
stance Of Chinese Origin.
The Chinese, who invented ALMOST
every thing before any body else he ~rd
OF it, claim to be the original discos err
ers OF the process of sugar-making, end
it is said that sugar was used in Chi na
as long ago as three thousand years.
This is misty, but the fact is we'll est;.b-
lished that it was manufactured in
China under the Tsin dynasty two hun
dred years at least before the Christian
era began. India has put forward a
claim for priority of invention, but the
probability is that the ,Hindoos learn I'd
the art of sugar-making from the CHI
nese and that through them the knowl-
edge finally spread to the Western M
tions. Nearchus, when sent by Alex
ander on an exploring voyage on tie
Indus, brought back reports of ''honey"
which was made by the Asiatics from
cane without the help of bees. At this
time neither the Greeks nor the Jews
nor the Babylonians had any knowl-
edge of sugar, but later the art of MAX
ing the artificial ''honey'' became
known and practiced, though it's prog
ress and development was exceedingly
slow. 1t was prescribed as a medicine
by Galen in A. D. $50, and up to the
seventeenth century it had become
nothing more than a costly luxury, to
be used only on special occasions.
Even as late as the beginning of the
eighteenth century the annual con-
sumption of sugar in Great Britain had
reached only 10000, 900 pounds, where.
as it is now more than 1900, 900, 600
pounds. Refined sugar was not made
in England till 1859. The art of rein.
ing was learned by q Venetian mer
chant from the Saracens, who sold the
secret to him for 100000 crowns.-

SUNDAY IN LONDON,

lilo sharpness OF contrasts In MotrOpOlI-
tan Life Wildly Realized.
If one wants to realize the real sharp
ness of contrasts in London, where
horrible slums are side by side with
wealthy squares, and where the beggar
and millionaire tread the same pave
ments, one can not see it better than
by walking very few steps from the
well-dressed, middle-class decorum
assembled in St. Georges Church,
Bloomsbury. or the fine drawn INTEL
lectualism of Mr.. Stopford Brooke at
Bedford chapel, into Seven Dials, on
any Sunday morning. 1t is really a
matter of some difficulty to pass along
Neal street or little Earl street, so
crowded is the whole roadway with
costermongers and Cheap Jacks bar
rows. Every one of the little poverty
stricken, grimy shops is open, and the
whole scene is more busy than it is on
any other day of the week. The sight
is one to freeze the heart of strict
Sabbatarian, but more than that, it is
truly dreadful picture of the real con-
dition of life in west central London.

ST one of the sickeningly odoriferous
butcher shops, where loathing scraps
of trimmings of bone, fat and skin were
sold at two pence a pound. A tall,
gaunt woman came and looked them
over, but the butcher said: mo pick
ing; yer takes as they comes with
them, missus!' "Well,' she answered.
''then yer might let me have two
pounds for three pence half-penny."
Cant was the vender's prompt and
laconic reply, and the woman turned
away; bat she stood by the barrow of a
potato dealer till his back was turned,
and furtively appropriated first one
and then another of his tubers.
Not only were the evidences of pow
erty something appalling in this Sun
day fair, but the looks of utter degrad-
alton of soul and body in the majority
were truly lamentable. Angry words,
and an occasional blow even, occurred;
but that terrible apathy and sullen in
difference to all but the immediate OBJ
ject in view, spoke volumes of the lives
they lived. Young men in dirt and
rags; girls who had lost the feminine
pride of vanity which leads them to
bestow a thought upon their personal
appearance, strong. middle-aged men
whose love of drink was apparent;
mothers with babies in their arms, but
who looked old and careworn enough
to be grandmothers. these prevailed in
the crowd. And the noise and the
hustle, the tumult and bargaining, lasts
till about 1880, when things resume a
moro weekday like tranquility. But

From thousand thousand lips to greet

In quiet dawns, when midst the birds
A soft wind rising from the sea
Wakens wild sweet melody,
The ghost OF long-forgotten words:
While clear above the silver mist
The happy light is mountain high,
Changing the opal Of the sky
To emerald and amethyst.

High on the elm trees topmost bough,
Within his cage sings sadly now.
Nor struggles, for the bars are strong.
