SmalI-Pox I'M Money.

Aphysician writes as follows of pc
culisr case of disease transmission:
Il once traced an attack of smallpox,
which. by the way, ended fatally, to a
silver dollar. The young man was
healthy one day and dead inside of a
week, and the facts were so peculiar
that I set about to see how he caught
the disease. 1 found he had sold some
small article to friend, who had paid
him with dollar taken from the pocket
of brother then sickening with small
pox. 1t is surprising how careless peo-
pie are about handling silver or paper
money which may have been in close
contact with the bodies of diseased per-
sons. The dirt so often cliDging to
coins may contain the most alarming in
fection, and greenback that has abb
sorbed the perspiration from a sick OF
unhealthy man may SOW the seeds Of
desthly disease. don't suppose that
anything doctor may say on such a
subject will be regarded, but men who
do much indiscriminate collecting may
save themselves much risk by carving
the money they receive in a satchel or
thick pocket-books. Anything Is beSIez
than dropping it loose into the pocket.

Some Queer People.

If q person were confined to one text
book, the best one to choose would be q
dictionary, since it gives an inkling OF
every art, science or profession known
to mankind. A study of the dictionary
is always interesting and instructive,
and simple turning of its pages will
acquaint US with many things of which
we have never previously heard. Notice
what fund of information is contained
in the following definitions:
Amphiscians are the people who in
habit the tropics, whose shadows in one
part of the year are cast to the north
and in the other 10 the south, according
as the sun is north or south of their
zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants OF
the earth living on different sides of the
equator, whose shadows at noon are
east in contrary directions. Those liv-
ing north of the equator are antiscians
to those living south of that line, and
nice Uersa. The shadows on one side
ore cast toward the north and upon the
other toward the south.
The Ascians are the people who live
in a land where, at certain time OF
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inhabitants of the torrid
zone are Ascians, they having vertical
sun twice year.
The Periscians are the inhabitants OF
the polar circle, whose shadows, during
some portions of the summer, must in
the course of the day move entirely
around and fall toward every point OF
the compasss.

When l had made the necessary ex-

Of course they kissed and made
friends.
In fact, they have been married since

somethInr for 1he Sew Year.

The world-renowned success of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, and their continued popu-
larity for over a third of a century as a stom-
achic, is scarcely more wonderful than the
welcome that greets the annual appearance
of Hostetter's Almanac. This valuable med
ica1 treatise is published by The Hostetter
Company, Pittsburgh, Pa, under their own
immediate supervision, employing 60 hands
In that department. They are running
about II months in the year on this work,
and the issue of same for 1891 will be more
than ten millions printed in the English,
German, French, Welsh, Norwegian, Swed-
ish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish Ian
guages. Refer to a copy of it for valuable
and interesting reading concerning health,
and numerous testimonials as to the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, amusement,
varied information, astronomical calcula-
ltions and chronological items, &C., which
can be depended on for correctness. The al
imanac for 1891 can be obtained free of cost,
from druggists and general country dealers
in all parts of the country.

Samson as a Boy,

Samson showed great strength when
an infant, and his nurse declared that
he was the most difficult boy to hold
she ever knew. Parents have trouble
in raising their children, many times,
but Samson could raise himself, with
his little finger.
The boyhood of Samson was largely
given to athletics. He loved to initiate
the strong man of the circus, and
thereby caused great huctuation in the
cannon-ball market-they went up and
down continually. He stole under the
canvas one day, when the circus was
showing and when the canvasmen at
tempted to put him out he pulled the
center-pole up by the roots, used the
tent as an umbrella and walked of,
leaving the astonished audience sitting
in the rain.
Menageries learned to give his town a
wide berth, because he had way of
getting into the lions cage, seizing the
king of beasts by the jaws and pulling
them apart, to examine his works and
see what he was made Of He broke up
a geological collection in that way when
he was only cub himself. He played
with 200-pound dumb-bells as though
they were marbles, and bankrupted
every health-lift man that came to town.
He carried off the neighbor's gates, just
for fun, and once he lugged away a
city's gates, though some consider the
story little Ga(u)za.
Samson wore locks of great length,
and other boys used to shout after him,
Johnny, get your hair cut" though
they were careful to be out of his reach
when they did it. 1t was the cutting
of that hair, by female barber named
Delilah, that finally caused his over
throw in the play of Samson" in which
he played the title role, though he
brought down the house by it.-TeraS
