Oldest Man Living.

The Quebec Union Liberale says the
oldest man IN the world is a citizen of
Bogota in the republic of San Salvador.
THIS new Methusalah declares that he
is $50 years old, and 1t would seem
that he fiatters himself, for his neigh

than he saws he is. He is half breed,
named Michael Soils, whose existence
was revealed to Or. Louis Hernandez
by one OF the oldest planters in the
locality. who. as child, knew Soils as
a centurian. They have found IN the

persons who contributed to the building
of Franciscan convent which exists
near San Lebestien. His skin is like
parchment, his long hair. Of the white
ness of snow, enveIops his head like a
turban, and his look is so keen that it
made disagreeable impression on the
doctor. Interrogated by the doctor be

Encourage the Editor.

1AuOuA0eo0 NAO 1IulLCA'
AS rule an editor gets about 1000
kicks to one caress. ODce in a while he
gets kind word and it warns and
cheers his weather beaten storm~racked
heart to the lnnermost core. Most peo-
pie are afraid to tell an editor when he
writes an article that pleases them, for
fear Of roaking him proud, we suppose.
but if they fiud anything that does not
precisely accord with their views, they
will neglect their business to hunt him
up and tell him of it. Pshaw! Dear
friends, don't think you will spoil the
editor by giving him an occasional
word of cheer, any more than you will
spoil your child by mplimenting it
upon piece of patchwork It has finish
ed. Or course you could beat the job
yourself, but that doesn't deter you
from heaping words OF encouragement
on the child. 1t has done its best. So
you could doubtless beat the average
editor at running paper! Of course,
you can. The man does not live who
cant beat an editor at running a paper.
The editor is willing to acknowledge
that you can. He only rurs it because
you have not time to; but this fact need
not deter you from giving him q word
lot encouragement OCCASIONALLY.

Mind Your P's.

Persons who patronize newspapers, y

Press havs peculiar power in pushing
forward the public prosperity. If the
printer Is paid promptly, and his poe
ket book kept p!ethoric by prompt pay,
in patrons, he puts his pen to the paper
in peace, his paragraphs are more point

events in more pleasing colors. and the
perusal OF his paper is Of more pleasure
to his people. Paste this piece of pro

BE Good-Natured.

A man with an irritable temper is
more to be pitied than one bowed down
to the earth by poverty. .l'he latter
evil can be anellorated, while the
former is a. devil that makes havoc
with all the finer qualities of the heart
and mind, taking the helm from reason,
and running the possessor perpetually
against rocks and rough corners. A
petulant man in family Of children,
even of his own, is worse than a. case of
the smallpox, from his influence On
their young minds. The ole adage, AS
the old cock crows the young one
learns, is great truth; and wa see it
here illustrated. Those old fellows that
sputter and growl round their houses
are sure to be initiated faithfully by
the little watchers for parental squalls.
and nest of hornets is made where
peace and harmony should dwell. The
fractions man should be consigned to
valerian and penitence, and kept by
force from spreading his contagion.
What right has a man to poison the
happiness any more than the food Of
his family The text might be made to
apply to all the relations of life where
misery Is cultivated and growing made
the order of all days. There are COM
munities and parties where the Old saw
about dogs with sore heads would give
but a faint indication Of their condition
Of mind. We need a society for the
any other philanthropic purpose.

New Year Resolutions.

Renewed feelings of ambition are syn
onomous with the opening of new
year. More resolutions are made than
ut apy other time, and as often are
thew alas! broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn of a
new year have been carried through to
,ts close. Numerous lives Of honor and
achievements can be traced to some de
Termination Of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the first day of year
affords for fresh start IN the Journey
Of life. We all desire success; the prob
lem of life is it's winning. Every
person carries in his or her own hand
the kew that uplccks either the door of
success or failure. The true KEY Of
success is labor, and it requires a strong
resolute will to turn it. 1t Is hard.
earnest work, step by step, that ensures
success, and never was this truth more
potent than at the present time. Posi-
lions of trust and eminence are no
longer secured at a single leap. Men
and women have ceased to succeed in
hurry. Occasionally there will be an
execution. but the instances are rare
Success writer has said. is the child
of confidence aud perseverance, and
never was the meaning OF word more
clearly defined. The secret of MANY
successful careers is the Thorough per-
Torrance of whatever has been under

which counsels us never to put our
hands to anything into which we can
not throw our whole energies Larnessed
with the very best Of our endeavors.
Perseverance, is essential to success.
aimee it is often achieved only through
a long occasion of failures. In spite OF
our best efforts failures are in store for
the majority of the race. 1t remains,

all circumstances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by the swift

much the possession of swiftness or

them by which success IS ensured.

THE CHIP BASKET.

The three essentials to human happi
ness are something to do, something to
love and something to hope for.
No two things differ more than hurry
and despatch. Hurry is the mark Of q

auently outweigh a mint of coins.
Whatever mitigates the woes or in
ereases the happiness Of others is just
criterion of righteousness. One should
not quarrel without a reason sufficient
TO vindicate one through all the courts
OF morality.
What one cannot do, and at the same
time pleasantly think Of God as seeing
him while doing it, he had better not
do He has in this one fact conclusive
proof that the act is not right. If it
were right, the thought of God would
give him no discomfort.
TO marry for money, and for any OBJ
iect whatever save and except immortal
and all powerful love, is to perjure and
debase the human heart; but to marry
without some provision for the future,
such as money, or moneys worth IN a
vel!.turnlshed mind and capacity for
skilled labor, is to defy common sense
and invoke the evil fates,

soy City, and one of the first in the
State. A portion Of it will be set apart
for the education of working girls. The
building will cost $4,000.
If the attitude of science rowords re

is not because science and religion are

gays, In order to know we must give
up belief; in order to believe we must

roneous idea Of both belief and knoWl- I

is not owing to scientific accuracy but
to the want Of it. 1t is not science
which contends against religion, but

CONSUMPTION,

CON SUMPTION,
From consumers, 'to. waste away" usually
applied to the advanced state of lung disease.
The following are prominent symptoms In
exist thorough examination should always
be made, with a view to arrest the disease If
shown to exist: There there is usually sense OF
to remain passive and idle, dependency,
often from no apparent. cause, a peculiar
sensitiyeness to the effect OF cold and !, a
scending q hill or stairs, slight hacking
cough, with or without expectoration, ex-
through the chest Or back, or under the
shoulder blades. The symptoms are more
noticeable toward or during the night; slight
fever in the afternoon; cold feet and hands, or
roots of the finger nails.
Constitutional or tubercular consumption is
a common form of lung disease. The progress
is slow but if left to itself no less sure, 1t
usually begins with dry, cough AT first
these tubercules are exceedingly minute, the
patient not at all suspecting their presence.
Gradually they develop into more active
disease, and then follows the train of symptoms
which leave no doubt as to its true character
the mucus is the first indication of tubercular
deposit, or it may be chilly sensation in the
back, followed by more or less heat in the
palms Of the hands, or an afternoon flush on
the cheeks. The slow and gradual inroads of
this form of consumption leave the stomach
and appetite undisturbed for a considerable
tlIue rlHdlly, hoWSNei' hSS1io ioNoi .hu
night sweats supervene, preceded by diar-
rhna. Then the loss of flesh and strength
becomes rapid, the chest contracts, the features
sharpen, the eye attains an unusual brilliancy,
and the patient begins to realize that he is in
the last stage of confirmed constitutional con-
sumption.
BY the employment of proper inhalations in
the form of medicated vapor mot steam or
spray) we are able to produce immediate and
direct action upon the diseased surface IN the me
pharynx and the nasal passages, for air will
find it's way into the remotest and intricate
cavities, where it is utterly impossible to make
fluid applications. By these means every case
can be cured.
Persons desiring treatment by this system OF
practice can use the remedies at home as well
as at our office, and which will cause no incon.
venience or hindrance from business whatever.
Ihaye seen so many of these cases cured that
do not consider any case hopeless unless both
| lungs are seriously involved. Even then the
Compound Oxygen aud other inhalations aid
us in dissolving the mucus and in contracting
and healing the cavities, which nothing else
can do with the same success.

cured.
