A family group stood chatting in bright
kind of way, when the band began
playing dirge. "Why," said the wom-
an, with plying sympathy in her voice
and look, ''they are all tired out, amt
they!"
The opinion of the supreme court of
is that Il clarvoyant physician
is liable for failure to exercise the ordina-
ry skill and knowledge of physician in
good standing, practicing in the vicinity,
and not merely the ordinary skill and
knowledge of clairvoyants. If he holds
himself out as medical expert, and ac-
cepts employment as a healer of diseases,
but relies for diagnosis and remedies up
on some occult influence exerted upon
him, or some mental intuition received by
him when in an abnormal condition, he
takes the risk of the quality of accuracy
of such influence or intuition.
That excellent New Hampshire maya
zine, the Sanitary Volunteer, has the fol
lowing remarks regarding the use of ice
water as beverage: '"There is a great
deal of sentiment and many opinions re-
garding the use of ice water that vanish
when the light of reason and experience
is turned upon them. The fact is that
ice water, drank slowly and in moderate
quantities, constitutes healthful and in
vigorating drink. There is no doubt that
ice is great sanitary agent, and every
family ought to be provided with it dur
ing the hotter months of the year. 1t is
true that the inordinate use of ice water,
or its use under special conditions and
circumstances, is attended with great
danger; so is the improper use of any
other drink or food. The assumption
that iced water is dangerous. and that
iced tea, or iced coffee, or iced lemonade
harmless substitutes, is simply delusion.
There are some individuals, undoubtedly,
who cannot drink ice water without in
jury, and who ought never to use it, but
to great majority of persons it is re-
freshing and healthful."
A Georgia farmer prevents his COWS
from jumping fences by cutting off theil
lower eyelids, which makes a fence seem
three times as high as it is. If the upper
lashes are cut, he says, a reverse delusion
will follow. This may be good philoso
ply, but what does the society with the
long name think about it?
The student of human nature finds
something interesting almost everywhere
1t is often amusing, though perhaps not
very polite, to note the manners of ladies
| and gentlemen as they come to dinner a,
a public house, and not the least amusing
object is the man who so carefully tucks
his napkin under his chin and about his
neck until he looks like great big beard
| ed baby. If custom makes etiquette
| very large proportion of men do it, as
| though the risk of soiling waistcoat OF
linen was altogether too great to be in
Cured.
1t is probably known to comparatively
few that the Fall Mountain Paper Compa
ny of Bellows Falls manufactures sever
tons of paper every day for the Bostol
Herald and on Saturdays double tina
amount. This company also makes pa
per for the London Times.
| Considerable interest is being manifest
ed in some parts of the country in TIN
vote for the national flower. Among tn
great ones of the country who have votet
the following may be named: j. G
Whittier, Joseph Cook, Phillips Brooks
Brooke HEREFORD, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
III. B. Stowe, Booth, Barrett, Fanny Dav
export, Il. V. Powderly, all golden rod
Lyman Abbott. James Parton and Rober
Martell voted Mayflower, and Mimi
Palmer voted forget-me-not
Perhaps it is proper here to say tina
undue influence has been used with "Her
and There" to induce him to vote for tn
Mayfower. The right of suffrage is to-
great thus to be tempered with and NJ
one has any business to bulldoze in
question like this. The MayfOwer is al
right only there isn't enough of ii
Wouldn't the rose be more dignified
And isn't it just as sweet? At any rat
there is a great variety in this family
variety in color and size and perfume
Let this subject be agitated and a vigol
Gus campaign be carried on in the inter
est of the pure, sweet, beautiful rose.
1t is the part of wise mother to il
spire in her child the love of learning
and it is not surprising that the duties G
