THE strong hope of the H~arrisonian
faction is that James g. Blaine may
die before the next Republican Ma
tional Convention. The article which
we publish elsewhere shows that this
hope is built on sand. Mr.. Blaine's
recent severe attack has a strong
family resemblance to that fainting
fit which seized him about the time OF
the Convention in 1872. Mr.. Blaine
fell sick then to back out of a hopeless
contest for the Republican nomina-
ton His present ~prostration
is simply a plausible scheme or way
of severing his connection with an
administration which is fruitful of dis
grace and disaster to every one con-
nected with it.

what she Learned.

A college friend of mine has a bright
little sister in Roxbury, who will be
five her next birthday. and he
tires of relating the cute sayings and
doings OF the little miss. The latest
little bit of anecdote is too good TO be
lost to the society end of Harvard,
and l will relate the story as l remem-
Der it. On a recent fine Sabbath
afternoon little Edith leased to go to
Sunday school to learn ''somethin'
about Dodd, as she expressed it. So
she was duly sent by the maid. Upon
reaching home the little tot would
talk Of nothing but Sunday school
and the man in the nightdress and
the angels.
But what did you learn?n inquired
her brother. Didn't they teach you
some little verse of Scripture to re-
peat?"
Yes said the little girl.
And what was it?n
For a minute the great blue eyes
looked wonderingly in the question

To Counteract Leanness.

~
Ii the leanness is the result of di-
gestive weakness or of a faulty as
Sanitation, little of course can be done
until a condition of general health
has been secured. But assuming that
the abnormal leanness is connected
with high health, what advice must
be given2
First, let the carbonaceous or fat
forming food greatly preponderate
over the nitrogenous-such as beef,
lamb and Goldfish. Calling the fat
forming elements Of beef twenty,
lamb thirty-ive and goldfish five,
those of pork will be fifty; beans,
fi~ftY-seyen; peas, sixty; oats, sixty
six; wheat, sixty-nine; corn and rye,
each seventy-two; rice, eighty, and
butter, a hundred.
OF course it would not do to take a
single carbonaceous article and live
on it, for the entire body is to be kept
in high health by the proper nourish-
ment of all the tissues. However, the
system can be well supported III full
vigor by a vegetable diet, with the
addition of milk, eggs and butter.
In the second place, cultivate calm
ness and quietness in feeling and
manner. Avoid impotence and fret.
Do not overwork with mind or body.
We may add that tea drinking tends
to leanness. II possible, milk should
be substituted Youths Companion.

That a mother should be her
daughters confidential friend is so
self evident a truth that 1t win hardly
bear discussing; but how to achieve
such O relation is a question not every
mother finds it easy to answer. Ger
tainly the mother will not receive her
daughters fullest confidence unless
she invites it and finds it interesting.
We must keep our hearts young
enough to respond to the hearts OF
our girls. Talk over everything and
advise with them about our "
affairs. Nothing invites confidence
like confidence in turn. Not that we
may unduly burden their young lives
with care. but that we show our chill
dren how entirely identical are III
interests and our e~njoynients.
Little children carry every joy and
every grief to mother. When do they
begin to leave of this sweet habitS
Not while mother hears them with
her heart and answers with caresses.
If mothers would go out with their
daughters mo-e, it would promote
their good comradeship and would
renew the mothers youth while
strongly supporting the daughters
inexperience. But whatever the
means unto this end, let no mother
fail in being her daughters closest
confidential friend. = HousekeepeT's

What is Scrofula

It'll that impurity in the blood. which, aecumu-
iating In the glands of the mock, produces I'M
slightly Jumps or swelllngs; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs. or feet; which
deYelopes ulcers in the eyes, ears. or nose, often
causing blindness OF deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for ~scrofula combines the worst
possible features Of both. Being the most ancient,
it is the most general of all diseases OF affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured7 By taking Hoods Sarss-

Inventor Brosius.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the stor Y
that an inventor named Brosius has in
vented process for ginning cotton that
will not break the fiber of the staple is true
in every particular. Mr.. BrosiuS lives in
Atlanta, and was only about six weeks per-
fecting his invention. That was quick
work. He would have been genius if he
had spent six years upon the invention.
His process is mechanical, not chemical.
1t takes all the cotton off the seed, leaving
1t as clean and smooth as the traditional
little brown jug.
And the great feature of the invention is
that it can be attached to cotton gins at the
small cost of about $50. And the cotton
treated by this new method is 80 long aud
fine that it is worth two cents a pound
more than when ginned in the ordinary
ginning machine. At least such is the
claim made in behalf of the invention.
1t is alleged that the inventor has been
offered fortune for small int est in the
invention, aud that Gov. Northen wants
forty alliancemen to form a company and
handle it. 1t is not stated why the governor
thinks that thirty~nine would not answer
as we'll as forty, but, doubtless, he has his
reasons
But it is sincerely to be hoped that MIR.
Brosius has valuable invention. If it is
what it is stated to be there are millions in
it, for the south and Mr. Brosius.

Rurlbert,s Marrow Esoane-

No more remarkable case than that In
which William Henry Hurlbert figured as
defendant has occupied the attention of the
London police courts for a long time. Ac-
cordlng to our dispatches from London, pub
lished Tuesday, the jury found Hurlbert not
guilty of the charges alleged against him.
Hurlbert used to live in Charleston in his
early days, and afterward, for a long time.
be was the editor of the New York World.
For Number of years, however, he has
lived in London, and Is quite we'll known in
the best society Of the British capital. He
had the reputation Of being a very good
man, who would shun vice of all kinds as he
would the plague.
IL the story the woman, EVELYN, told
is true he has two characters. As William
Henry Hurlbert he is the Christian gentle
man who is always occupied in good works,
and as Wilfred Murray he is Ioathsome
creature, who wrongs conflding women.
writes vile letters to his victims and fills his
rooms with pictures of the worst kind.
Hurlbert claimed that there was really a
bad man named WIlfred Murray who had
been his secretary, and WHO wrote the let
ters which the woman, Evelyn, produced
in court against him. The handwriting Of
the letters was 50 near like that of Hulbert's
that only an expert could detect the differ
ence, if there was any.
The judge seemed to think that there was
no such man as Wilfred Murray, especially
as no one seemed to know where he was
and his charge to the jury was against
Hurlbert. The jury, however, looked upon
the woman Evelyn as an adventures whose
object was to extort blackmail, and it was
fortunate for Hurlbert that they did.
But though Hurlbert escaped conviction,
many of his London acquaintance will
continue to think that it was remarkable
that he should have had secretary who
initiated his handwriting SO perfectly that
it could not be detected readily, and who
was about as vile as men get to be. The
verdict OF the jury, however, sustains
Hurlbert's story.

Matched Pennies for a sweetheart

wedding is announced for this spring be-
tween two wellknown Young people of Des.
Moines. There is an interesting story con.
nected with the event, says the DesMoines
Leader, and it would be unfair to call names.
Four years ago the prospective bride, then
quite young, was receiving the attentions of
three gentlemen. They, too. were young, little
more than boys and lust entering upon the
different lines OF work which they had adopted
for life
Two of them, indeed. were still students
Matters ran along without much change with
the four for some time They each understood
the situation. Nothing in the girls manner
indicated any preference The three boys
ton was such as to strain their relations q
little
Finally the three met one day by accident.
In some way the young lady's name was
brought up, and after consideration it was de
cided to match pennies to see who should with
draw from the contest. 1t was stipulated that
the winner should be in honor bound to devote
himself exclusively to the young lady in the
future, and TO win her hand if possible. The
losers from that moment were to withdraw from
the race completely. The losers were further
pledged to act as guardian brothers to the
young lady and see that the winner carried on
no tiirtations with other girls
The contracts were carried out TO the letter
and the girl was never told WY two OF her ad-
mirers so suddenly retired.
And so, after these years, she is at last to be-
come the wife OF him whom luck favored in a
game Of chance. Both are still young, and the
gentleman is prospering in mis- business.
OF the losers in the contest one adopted a
trade aud is married. The other entered upon
professional career. He Is unmarried aud bis
name would be recognized were il mentioned
ell over the western city,
