Ever since the Democratic congress

young man has lived in retirement, it was
supposed, but it now seems that several
weeks ago he disappeared. He went to
the house of his mistress, on Alameda
street, and remained there for nearly
two weeks. The woman, meanwhile,
pawned her jewels and sold her house,
raising nearly six thousand dollars. On

Success Due to Good Writing.

1t is a singular fact that the famous
French dramatist, Sardou, owed his first
success ON the boards to his excellent
handwriting. He had sent in his often
rejected play, "La Taverne des Etudi-
ants" to the Odeon management for
consideration, and the manuscript was
thrown with some fifty others upon a
table. One day at rehearsal the charm
ing actress, Mile. Berengere, was at
tracted by the handwriting, and took up
the manuscript, crying, "Oh, what an
exquisite handr She read the play, and
recommended it so strongly to the direc-
tors that they We're induced to read it.
and then accept it. At the time Sardou
now one of the richest literary men in
Europe-was starving. He had gone
through seven long years of terrible hard
ship and privation.-London Tit-Bits.

Dyspeptics Take Note.

Dyspeptics will do well to observe the
following general rules: Live on two
meals day if possible. Never eat to
excess. Estimate as nearly as you can
the actual needs of the system, and limit
the quantity of food to them, remember
ing that one grows weak if he eats too
much. Eat slowly and masticate all
food even longer and more thoroughly
than healthy person careful of his di-
gestion would do. Quite dry foods, as
rule, are best suited to dyspeptics, who
should drink sparingly with their meals.
Some can take ice water in very small
quantities without being disturbed by
it, but generally it retards digestion,
And the same is true of all cold drinks.
Warm ones suit most dyspeptics best,
and very little weak tea, if properly
made, is not at all likely to do any harm.
The food should be neither very hot nor
very cold. Properly, it should be about
"blood warm" Every one knows from
experience just what foods distress
them. and what are well borne; Of course,
the former should be excluded from the
diet.-Boston Herald.

Severe but Successful.

1 remember being called to case Of
laudanum poisoning, when after failing
to produce vomiting in every other way,
the following method was successful: A
long whalebone was procured; around
one end of it rag was wound, and a
string two feet long fastened thoroughly
to the rag. The rag was then pushed
gently down the oesopaghus into the
stomach, and then the whalebone was
withdrawn, leaving the string extending
from the rag in the stomach out through
the mouth; a gentle jerking of the
string few times secured the necessary
irritation and contraction brought up
the mixture Of laudanum, the strong
coffee that had been given as an an
tidote to the laudanum, the mustard
and other portions that had failed to
provoke the vomiting, and of course the
woman recovered in due time.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

A Bows Temper.


A boy is none the worse for possessing
a little swagger and self assertiveness,
and any attempt on the part of parents
to break his temper is a step in the
wrong direction. 1t was said Of the
mother of the Wesleys that she tried to
crush the self will of her son John, yet
any one who knows anything Of the his
tory Of John Wesley is ready to admit
that he was one of the most stubborn of
men when once his opinion was formed
upon subject. Properly developed
boys self confidence may blossom into
noble decision of character, which will
be of infinite service to him in the strug-
gle of life. In these days of keen COM
petition, when every year makes the
worlds prizes harder to get, the victo-
ries and rewards of life are for those
who, by indomitable pluck and energy,
are able to grasp and retain their own.
The child who grows to manhood with
a broken spirit must inevitably go to
the wall. l do not say that boy must
be allowed all his own way, and have
the privilege of riding rough shod over
the household rules and usages, or that
his tendency to overbearing and rude
ness should be encouraged By all
means give him taste of the birch
when the power Of persuasion fails to
bring him to reason. Let him know
that he is under government; that he
has place in the home where he will
find a welcome and shelter as long as
the old nest remains; that his boyish ex-
uberances and frolicsomeness will, to an
extent, be tolerated; but so far and no
farther must he go without experiencing
the weight of parental displeasure.

The Industrial Organization of the Future.

The Industrial Organization of the Future.
The wages system is of recent origin,
certainly modern, believe transitional.
A hundred years ago the weaver owned
his loom, the tailor his bench, the cob
bier his stall, the stage driver his coach,
the woman her spinning wheel. The in
vention of steam, the spinning jenny and
the power loom created necessity for
organized labor. Individualism gave
place to combination, and combination
created capitalism. I believe that as
slavery gave place to serfdom, and serf-
dom to the wages system, so in time the
wages system will give place to indus
trial democracy.-Rev. DR.. Lyman Alb
bott in Forum.

he bought from Mr.. Isbell two more

purchase, paying therefor $1,000. That
