The Home Truth of p Foreign Proverb.

ity is the soul of wit this means a great deal.
Excuses and other imprudences in eating and
drinking productive of one tremendous
evil-the progenitor Of many others-and these
are among the toilies to which this pithy say
ing has direct application. The evil to which
ailude is Indigestion, to the relief aud cure of
which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has contrib
uted more than any medicine which science has
given to the American people. This invigora-
ting stomachic and corrective is the means not
only of reforming a disordered and eufeebled
condition of the digestive organs, but of re-
newing healthy action of the bowels and the
liver. Besides this, it counteracts tendency to
rheumatism and kidney complaint, extirpates

Wilson Barrett's Joke.
From the New York Press.

FROM the New OK IIeSS.
Wilson Barrett's recent tour of the
United States filed that gentleman s
mind with a stock of stories that will
take him year to work off on his En-
glish friends. BY that time he will be
ready to come over here again.
Mr.. Barrett arrived in a Western city
one evening, and upon leaving his train
was confronted by an invitation to din
ner. In order to facilitate matters the
actor stopped in at barber shop on his
way up from the railway station and got
into chair for a shave. Before he
been lathered thoroughly the barber
said:
"You look good deal like Barrett,
the actor"
Mr.. Barrett looked at the man quick
ly, but noticing that he appeared seri-
GUS, settled back in his chair with a
half questioning eyes? ?"
ooh, yes" went on the barber famil-
iarly, enough like him to be his broth
er; but you can thank yer stars yer not
him, not Bit"
Mr.. Barrett began to feel uneasy, but
he said nothing.
An my private oplnlonls, continued
the tonsorial artist, che can't act"
Mr.. Barrett grunted.
"An' hear he don't pay his COMP
"What ?" broke in Mr. Barrett
"Why, don't pay his comp ny-the
people that made him, you know"
Mr.. Barrett could stand no more, but,
pulling the towels from his neck, he
darted, half shaved, into the street.
Everybody in the shop looked after
the fleeing man, thinking him crazy.
The barber watched him until he
passed out of sight, and then remarked
calmly:
Dashed if l don't think that's Old
Barrett hisself.

Nearly Always Right in Her Judgment in
REGARD 10 Common Things.


An old gentleman over seventy came
into the city from his farm without his
overcoat. The day turned chilly, and
he was obliged TO forego his visit to the
fair.
To friend who demonstrated with
him for going away from home thus un-
prepared he said: Il thought it was
going TO be warm my wife told me TO
take my overcoat, but | wouldn't.
Women have more sense than men
anyway"
4 frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come
from intuition; may it not be that they
are more close observers of little
things? One thing is certain, they are
apt to strike the nail on the head, in
all the ordinary problems of life, more
frequently than the lords of creation.
According to DIR. Alice Bennett, who
recently read paper on Bright's dis
ease before the Pennsylvania State
Medical Society, persons subject to bill
ious attacks and sick headaches, who
have crawling sensations, like the flow
ing of water, in the head, who are
tired all the time,' and have unex-
planned attacks of sudden weakness,
may we'll be suspected of dangerous
tendencies in the direction of Bright S
disease.
The veteran newspaper correspond
ent, Joe Howard, of the New York
Press, in noting this statement, suggests
Possibly Alice is correct in her dag
nosis, but why doesn't she give some
idea of treatment? I know man who
has been tired all the time for ten
years Night before last he took two
doses of calomel and yesterday he
wished he hadn't"
A proper answer is found in the fol-
lowing letter of Mrs Davis, wife of
Rev. VIM. j. Davis, of Basil, o., June
81, 1890:

TIL TRUTH.

Friend. though thy soul should burn thee, yet
be still,
Thoughts were not meant for strife, nor
tongues for swords
II G that sees clear is gentlest of his words,
And that's not truth that hath the heart to kill.
The whole worlds thought snail not one truth
fulfill.
Dull III our age. and passionate in youth;
No mind of man hath found the perfect truth;
Nor shalt thou find it; therefore, f1i-nd be still.
Watch and be STILL nor heqrken to the fool,
The ba6bler Of consistency and rule;
Wisest is he who, never quite secure,
Changes his thoughts for better day by day:
Tomorrow some new light will shine. be sure.
And thou shalt see thy thought another way.

Origin of Long Measure.

Our measures of length originated in
the dawn of civilization, and same TO us
through the Anglo-Saxons. The yard
was originally the length of a kings
arm; the foot, the length of his pedal
extremities. The word inch is derived
from the Latin uncia, a twelfth part,
but why the foot was divided into
twelfths, instead of tenths or elevenths,
no one claims to be wise enough to tell.
Ii has been suggested that probably the
inch was originally the length Of the
second joint of the forefinger, and that
twelve of these about equal the length Of
the forearm, which averages about one
foot in length.
The inch used to be divided into three
.barleycorns," which were simply the
length of the grain or corn" of the bar
ley. The emile" was reckoned at 1000
PAGES, as its name shows, for it is de-
rived from the first word of the Latin
phrase militia passuum, "a thousand
PAGES" The origin of the rod" is
doubtful-St. Louis Republic.

Naming colts as they are brought into

notice the odd nomenclature of the race
course? The proprietor of farm and a
big lot of thoroughbreds in Pennsylvania
has made a rule for himself. To all the
colts born in the first year, under this
rule, he gave names beginning with a,

the idea into practice nine years ago, and
