An Interesting Heirloom.
From the Boston Courie1

In a certain Boston family there is an
heirloom which is both interesting and
in these degenerate days, most sugges-
tive. 1t is dover chest of carved oak,
not wholly unlike-except that it is
smaller-the chest in which Venetian
brides of old used to bestow their we'd
ding outfit.
This dover chest has been in the fam
lily nearly century. and in it the oldest
daughter of the family is expected to
hoard the linen which she prepares
against the day of her mar
riage, much after the fashion of
German maidens. The one condition
attached to the possession of the chest
is that the girl owning it shall, with her
own hands, make every article put into
it. The will of the first owner provided
that the chest should descend only to
daughters of the house who would,
without assistance, do all the sewing on
their outfit of no sehold linen Thus
far the condition has been scrupulously
observed; and thus ar, also, each owner
of the chest has, in passing it on, left in
it an elaborate piece of embroidered
table linen

Tom Chilvers at the White House
Lansing Corr. Detroit Journal.

Lansing Corr. Detroit Journal.
You remember old Capt. Chllvers,'
began Capt. Joe Nicholson. "He ran
the first steam ferry on the Detroit
River. When Grant was a lieutenant
stationed at Detroit, Capt. Tom knew
him, and when he got to be President
Capt. Tom called on. him at the White
House. The attendant stopped him in
the ante-room and asked for his card.
'C-c-c-card,' suffered the captain
L amt got no card
"Then stopping to think; he pulled
out little blue ferry ticket.
That's m-my card; y-you t-take il
to him.
$50 the card went in and the captain
followed it. Grant came forward, shook
the old man warmly by the hand and
said:
"' m pretty busy now, but I've time
to talk to you. Where are you stay
in <
surprised visitor.
"' All right, said Grant, quietly. 'I'l
send down for your things and this will
be your hotel while you stay in Wash
ington.'
30, no; you d-d-don't m-mean it
gasped old Tom.
"'Yes. | DO was the steady reply,
and 50 it was. For two weeks Capt.
Tom Chilvers was guest at the White
House, and fer a month after he got
back to Detroit he held levee on the
docks every day to tell the crowds about
his trip to Washington.

Women's Heads and Waists.

A lady friend was SO kind as TO measure
several other young ladies' Tor my bene-

and the waists smaller, it is true, but
take one instance. Head, 219 inches

other, head, % inches: waist, "a inches;
neck, 12a inches. A young girl of 16
measures 233 inches head and 249 inches
waist. Another lady measured Just 203
inches head. The measures were taken
over the waist of the tunic. One would
suppose the measures would be less if

Something Not to be Ignored.

In the report of clinical lecture in
the University of Pennsylvania, DR..
Pepper, one of the most distinguished
medical teachers, is reported as saying,
while lecJuring before the class in q case
of nervous dyspepsia:
There Is state of fixed attention to
the suffering part always present in this
class of cases which often continue after
the disease is cured. 1t is the recogni-
ton OF this condition which forms the
basis of what is known as the faith
cure therapeutical agent which has,
gentlemen, claims on our most serious
study, and / will 60 so far as
to say that without faith cure you
cannot treat cases of nervous
dyspepsia with success. | have seen
cases which have been for months I'M
der the care of intelligent physicians, to
be completely cured after two or three
interviews with the faith healer, who
says, There is no such thing as disease,
therefore you are not sick, you are not
suffering, you must not suffer- This is
a line Of argument which, in the hands
of skillful physicians, is powerful
remedial agent, but when used by I'M
scrupulous dersons degenerates into the
merest quackery. By its means you OBJ
tain the confidence Of your patients,
you get their attention removed from
the affected part, and you break up the
habit. You cannot over-estimate the
Importance of the emotional element
in these cases; but if you are content
with removing this alone, you are mere
Iy the most superficial empiric."

A Clergyman and Lock of Hair.

A venerable white-haired clergyman
in one of the city churches recently
preached in Norristown. He had hard
ly got home from church before the
door bell rang and charming girl of Is
asked to see him. He received her,
they talked about the sermon and Other
things until finally she asked difident.
ly:
ooh won't you please give me lock
of your hair ?"
Certainly, my. child" said the ole
gentleman, fattered at the request
''pll send it to you tomorrow" and be
did.
On his return to the city he had five
more requests of the same kind, and he
proudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad to see that he had not yet lost the
power to please. He declared his trir
had been most charming, and all went
well until his wife had received this
note:
''MY DEAR Mrs. x: Won't you please
ask your good husband to send me just
a little lock of his hair. We have all
been taking lessons in making hair
flowers. So many of the other girls
asked him and he sent it to them, but /
thought [ would rather ask you to get ii
for me. Now. won't you please do this
for me, it is so hard to get white hair
for lilies of the valley"
This was a terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in the mar
rleG gentleman's presence the better.

Sound Sense ana Sound Law.
From the New York Law Journal.

From the New York Law Journal.
In some of the other states no opinion
dlsqualifes juror, except such as is
derived from his having witnessed the
criminal transaction. It would seem
that in this period of enlightenment, and
in view of what we believe to be the
general disposition of our citizens to
give justice and fair play to any accused
person, that any intelligent man should
be deemed, in law, capable of deciding
the guilt or innocence upon the evidence
afone, uninfuenced by any i'm
preston or opinion derived from
what he may have read or heard
before assuming the obligations of the
jurors oath, where such man swears
positively that he can render verdict
upon the evidence alone uninfuenced
by his previous opinion or impression,
and that it should be immaterial wheth-
er that impression is derived from mere
rumor, or from having read the evil
dence given in prior trial. 1t may be
said that this is practically the law now,
but the courts have given somewhat
restricted application to the provisions
of the code of criminal procedure, and
there is room for q still more specific dec
laration of what is and what is not a
disqualification OF a juror in criminal

Nine. Gizzard De Chicken.
From the Philadelpbia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
"Whew here comes Nine. Gizzard, !"
Uttered chorus of young girls en-
ployed in large wholesale establish
ment on Market Street Good morn
ing, Nine Gizzard de Chicken" was
the greeting given by these ebullient
spirits to q tat, trundllng old woman
putting under a loaded basket which she
lugged something in the style thata yacht
carries full sail under stiff breeze.
The old lady blUrted out reply and
then passed on. A gentleman who
stood by tripped up to one of the fair
faced damsels, and out of curiosity
asked the why and wherefore of their
merriment. Suppressing food of
laughter, she referred him to the man
ager Of the establishment.
"Who is Nine. Gizzard de Chicken 2"
was asked of the latter by the seeker
for truth. A tornado exploded. 'Mme.
Gizzard de Chicken ?" roared the man.
ager. Five minutes of good, sound old
Virginia laughter followed before any
explanation could be given.
"Why, Nine. Gizzard de Chicken is a
nom de plume tantalizngly fixed on
that old, fat, trundling woman with the
basket. The epithet is hardly a misno-
mer, because it just fits her business.
She has for years supplied US with the
skin and Innings of chicken gizzards,
which we pulverize into remedy used
as an aid to digestion. In addition to
this she occasionally brings in the mu-
cous lining of the stomachs of swine,
from which we manufacture pepsin.
On account of her business she has been
given the nickname of Nine. Gizzard.
She gathers chicken gizzards from
the chief cooks 3t the hotels ia kas
them home and washes them out and
dries the skin. When she has collected
basketful of her business wares she
Immediately trundles off to this place
to vend the articles. The remedies
that we make from these skins are ex-
pensive, and, as a consequence, Nine.
Gizzard de Chicken has lucrative bust
ness, and is both familiar and well
come figure around here"

Peruvian Whistling jugs.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places OF Peru are
the most ingenious specimens of handi-
work. A silvio in the VIM. st. Vaux
collection in Philadelphia consists OF
two vases, whose bodies are joined one
to the other, with hole or opening be-
tween them. The neck of one of these
vases is closed, with the exception of a
small opening in which a clay pipe is
inserted leading to the body of the
whistle. When a liquid is poured into
the open-necked vase, the air is COM

own system is of first importance If you have

These are the warning tones
Of patriots voice, Other pa
triots have spoken A press report
of an address delivered by President elect
Harrison on the evening of January LIST of
this year, before George IL. Thomas post,
G.. A r., of indianapolis, reads as follows:
Gen. Harrison spoke briefly upon the
subject of "a free ballot and fair count.
He feared no interference from foreign
nations; we were ut peace with the world.
Neither did he fear or apprehend civil dis
eensiOns. The only menace to-day TO our
institutions and the perpetuity of our gov
crnment was the suppression of q free and
fair ballot. He would like to hear bugle
cali throughout the land demanding pure
ballot A free ballot honestly expressed
and fairly counted, was the main safeguard
Of our institutions, and its suppression
under any circumstance could not be toler-
ated He exhorted his comrades TO stand
mp, regardless of partisan feelings, for hon
esty and fairness a."
Nor did Mr.. Harrison intend by these words
70 characterize features or stigmatize dis
honest acts or corrupt political methods ex-
istent in one locality or one section of our
country alone. He saw, as other wise and
earnest men see, that the evil alluded TO is
more general and far reaching than this.
The cumbersomeness, inefficiency and
enormous abuses of the present system OF
voting throughout the country have been
the fruitful thome of thousands OF editori-
ais, lectures and sermons during the past
twelve months. Never before in the his

quickening of the public conscience, such an
awakening 20 the startling facts and alarm
