MIDSUMMER DULLNESS

Silver Legislation In Congress
London Loses ita Grip.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The strong temper of
the market at the close yesterday was not car
ried over until this morning, as London prices
were lower and the opening Of this market
was slightly lower in sympathy. The silver
legislation still continues to be the most i'm
portant subject of interest in Wall street and
the general feeling is that something will be
done at this session, although the bears try to
make all the uncertainty possible upon that
point. The disposition is, however, on all sides
to await definite action by the Senate before
entering into new ventures, and the mar
ket has sunk into the regular midsum-
mer duflness for the time being al
though as a rule there is no lack
of attendance at the board. Dizziness usually
invites attacks by the trading element. and the
selling to-day was principally by that class of
operators, though they do not let declines go
far and cover up quickly upon any sign of re-
newed strength in the market The market

Pineapple Juice for Diphtheria.

Medical science has long sought for a
sovereign remedy for the scourge of
childhood, diphtheria, yet the colored
people of Louisiana, and perhaps of
other localities in the South, have for
years known and used cure which is re-
markable for its simplicity. 1t is nothing
more nor less than the juice of the pine
apple.
1.-THE remedy is not mine, said gen.
tleman when interviewed; sit has been
used by negroes in the swamps down
South for years. One of my children was
down with diphtheria, and was in crit
ical condition. An old colored man who
heard of the case asked if we had tried
pineapple juice. We tried it and the
child got well. have known it tried in
hundreds of cases. Ihave told my friends
about it whenever l heard of case, and
never knew it to fail. You get ripe
pineapple, squeeze out the juice, and let
the patient swallow it. The juice is of
so corrosive a nature that it will cut out
diphtheric mucus, and if you will take
the fruit before it is ripe and give the
juice to person whose throat is well it
makes the mucous membranes of his
throat sore. Among those who have
tried the cure on my recommendation
may mention Francis ]. Kennett, the
Board Of Trade man, whose children
were all down with diphtheria and were
cured by this remedy.
Mr.. Kennett confirmed this statement.

WISE WORDS.

Self-respect will wear better than fiat.
terry.
Vanity is the weeds that real culture
destroys.
No one can keep their health and give
away their responsibilities.
1t is no reason that man is refined
because he thinks he is himself.
NIisfortunes will increase to one who
deplores the selishness of others.
People never progress until they get
tired waiting for some one to help them
up.
A new idea will look like mistake
to the man who is welded to the old
ones.
There is but one step from wisdom to
foolishness; but one from honor to
arrogance.
All our hopes are but dreams; aud as
they come to pass, still but like the
change of dream.
Vanity may be light, but people are
often so burdened with its weight that
they never get above zero.
Like food without salt, like book
without tale, like the day without sun
shine, is life without sorrow or fear.

Goldfish Have Fun With the Turtle.

Fishes are not ordinarily supposed to
be gifted with any great amount of in
telligence, but an incident which oc-
CURED in Washington home few days
ago proves that they have a keen sense
of humor and are fond of practical jok-
ing. One of the young women Of the
house in question has for pets baby
mud turtle and several goldfshes. The
turtle is frequently placed in the tank
with the fish. The other day he lay
floating on the surface of the water
asleep, and with his four legs out.
The goldfish saw in this chance to
play trick on Mr.. Turtle, and, after
putting their heads together few
minutes, they divided into four groups,
and, Selling his feet in their mouths,
dragged him to the bottom of the tank.
When awakened by his sudden INNER
sion he had considerable difficulty in
shaking himself free from his tormentors.
There cannot be the slightest doubt that
the fishes had some means of communicat-
ing their ideas to each other, for it was
plain to those who observed the incident
that the trick was the result of precon-
certed action Washington Critic.

IN THE FIELDS.

Oh maiden, under the skies so blue
OF the eyes aud tresses brown,
I'd rather be walking In fields with you
Than going my way to town.
Is it far to your dwelliugi But here's rose
Perhaps you slipped from its heart-who
knows?
1t is like your face; 1t is like the smile
OF your lips SO red and sweet.
Do the roses bloom for a little while
And their hearts then cease TO beat'
How fair were the roses my youth-time
knews
Were a rose would bloom for you.
Do you roam through the summers sweet
aud long
Over thess fields so fair
And blend your voice with the harvest song
That thrills through the scented airs
When you bind the wheat with golden
skein
Are the tares not mixed with the ripenej
grain'
Sowing and reaping my life has known,
And now with the gathered sheaves
There are fruitless weeds that have needless
grown,
And thorns meath the roses leaves.
Sowing and reaping, the harvest seems
Less than my labor and less than my dreams
Oh, maiden under the skies so blue
OF the eyes and tresses brown,
I'd rather be walking the fields with you
Than going my way to town.
Is it far to your dwellingY But here's a rose.
'erhaps you slipped from its heart--who
knows

Curing Bow Legs.

Mrs. Bassett had twins, three ycar-old
boys, who were bow legged. She con-
suited doctor and asked if she must put
their legs IN irons.
"Irons!" shouted the doctor. "Fid-
dlesticks! Take off their shoes and
stockings. Their muscles have probably
been cramped and weakened already and
irons will only increase the trouble. of
with their shoes"
Another suggestion of the doctor was
to let the boys walk up hill, and when
they could not be out of doors, to have
an inclined plane arranged in the house
for them to practice on. In the effort to
walk up a steep incline one naturally
throws the feet outward. After some
months treatment of this sort the boys
legs Strengthened and their muscles grew
strong. 1t was learned by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren that baby girl just beginning to
walk was toddling around in her little
bare feet, and a committee visited the
mother.
"But does your baby actually go bare
foot, too2" asked one of the visitors.
"Yes. She has never worn shoe in
her life. When she goes out for an air
ing she wears warm wooden socks, for
until she can walk she cannot, of course,
take sufficient exercise to keep her feet
warm. But in the house she is as bare.
footed as the boys. She is just begin
ming to get on her feet, and her little bare
toes are almost as useful to her as fingers.
They have saved her many fall.
One of the members of the committee
was the wife of shoe dealer; she sat
aghast. "But do you never intend to
have your children wear shoes9" she
asked.
