Cheerfulness an Aid Cure.

There is faith cure not often con-
sidered, but which is in constant ope-
ration and quite as effective in its
workings as that practiced by pro-
fessional "healersn or "me taphysi=
Clans" says the indianapolis jour
nal. II is tho euro brought, or as
sisted by the patients faith in his
doctor. Every physician knows the
desirability OF inspiring this feeling
and the best method OF establishing
this confidence in persons under his
treatment are made matters of profess
sional study. 1t is only in part ques-
ton OF medical skill. He may be
recognized as a man of great knowl-
edge and ability, and may lack that
one essential characteristic that makes
him welcome in every household. The
possession of this quality is largely a
matter Of temperament, and its useful
ness is hardly recognized by the fortu-
nate practitioner, though he may con-
scientiously cultivate it through
knowledge OF the fact that cheerful
ness is better than gloom in all the re-
lations of life. 1t is the gospel OF cheer
fulness that this man uncousciously
teaches-not the aggressive gayety
and unsympathetic POPULARITY that is
an offeuse to an invalid aud his friends,
but brightness of spirit that makes
glad all who meet him.

People with musical tastes generally
have large and prominent ears.

Carloads Of Lizards

A great destruction OF life took place
upon the old Lawton farm, two miles
up the river. For several generations
there has been muskrat pond about
twenty rods from the Kcnnebcc, con-
sisting OF a half-acre or more, besides
eight acres OF SPLENDID land which
was made worthless by its surround
ings. which was drained across TO the
river by laying sewer under ground
five to nine feet deep. When the water
was drawn off TO near the bottom the
men noticed that it was charged with
animated lie, aud as the bottom began
TO appear the struggle increased, and II
was estimated there were from two TO
four loads OF lizards from two TO five
inches In length, mixed with reptiles
shaped like the tadpole, four or five
inches long, and a promiscuous collec-
ton OF bugs and smaller fry. some OF
which looked like green grasshoppers.

ROYAL WEAKLINGS.

Very Few European Monarchs
Possessed OF Sound Bodies and
Sound Minds.
The average monarch OF Europe is
a being sadly out Of repair and his lot
IS far from being d healthy or u happy
one. With two or three exceptions, "a
sound mind in a sound body cannot be
afiirincd OF amy Of them. Queen
Victoria is reported to be a hale old
lady, with many years TO live, but the
Prince of Wales, what with Brighrs

Empire. The German Emperor, with
his withored arm, his painful ear COM

active young follow, shows a falling
of in physique as compared with his
robust grandfather. who reach
ed ripe and sturdy old age.
The Gar OF Russia is hypochon-
driac, and the Czarina is even in a
worse condition, as il borders upon in
sanity. The emperor OF Austria,
though physically better of than most
of his royal fellows, has become a
melancholy man since the violent
death Of his son and heir, aud the
empress is victim 10 almost identi-
cally the same complaints which are
tormentiug the czarina OF Russia. The
king of Holland has been reduced TO II
wreck by disease and has just recover
ed from the brink of the grave. The
king of Wurtemoerg is more than

sonally an excellent man, is distracted
with chronic dyspepsia, and the late
king of Spain left the present infant
ruler the bequest Of deraIg cd

King Charles of Roumauia and his
queen are both the victims of halluci-

grim fate. OF all the European

Wonderful Inventiona

Even the simplest of our necessary
of course to us that it seems as if they
would be self-evident to any one, re-
oujred years OF experience and
thought to bring about their present
efficacy, says the Portland Transcript.
This fact is cxempliied in the dcvel-
opmcnt of the screw and the nail.
Forty years ago, as We are informed
by an elderly carpenter, all screws
were blunt at the end, like bolt, and
for their entrance into the wood it was
as necessary to provide hole Of the
proper size and depth, as it is to dig
one in the ground for the entrance of
a post. Gimlets of rs varied sizes as
the screws aided the screw-driver, and
were just as necessary. The ''gimlet-
pointed" screw, which has been in use
for the past forty years, was not even
thought OF then, and so the carpcn-
some one happened to think OF COM
bining the screw and the gimlet, TO the
lasting benefit of builders. We read
OF the wrought-iron nails OF our anccs-
tors. which split the wood like a
wedge, and which required a previous
ly prepared hole as much as the blunt
screw. The square point OF the present
nail must be placed in proper rela-
tions with the grain to prevent split
ting the wood; and it is only recently,
after all these years of building, that
nail has been perfected that won +
split anything. II is the smooth, round,
sharp-pointcd, nail so extensively used
now in the making OF boxes, fruit
crates, ETC., the narrow edges Of which

How 4 Detective Trapped Female
Thief
I Veteran Detective Tells Of Z Remarkably
Blind Case He Once Had In Cincinnati

A girl IS years old. named Palmer,
was cashier in dry-goods store. One
day some customer from the country,
who had mortgage to pay, called at
tho store to leave a package containing
e6, 600 for few hours. The girl placed
IL in the safe In his presence, but when
he came 10 call for It the money was
missing. One of the proprietors and
head clerk had been in the office dur
ing the interval, but no one else, and
no one could harbor the slightest
suspicion against them. Miss Palmer
had held her place two years, and was
considered perfectly honest also, and
the mystery Of the package was
sumner.
As the firm had received the pack
age in trust, they would have TO make
Its loss good. This fact, says the de-
tective, left me only two persons to
work on-the head clerk and the girl.
The head clerk was about to be given
an interest in the business. and he
would not sell his future for a few
thousand dollars. But Miss Palmer
looked me calmly in the face with her
big. blue eyes, and was innocence
itself. She had no suggestions to
make, no advice to OFFER nothing to
say. She had placed the package in
she safe. Some one had taken it.
She hadn't but who had? Her moth.
