"Some little addition to your wardrobe

He looked down over himself, and
picking up his hat from the floor ex-
amined that also.
"Well, lady" he replied, putting his
hat on the table, 81 am sure such an adj
dition would be appreciated.
She went out and in few minutes re-

A GREAT LOSS.
The Enormous Amount Of Life Which Has

IF Ever he Recovered?

Have you noticed that there are more broken
down men and weak women on our streets to-
day than ever before? Have you not noticed
that certain of your friends, whom you have al
ways known to be strong and healthy, are, for
some reason, weak and low-spirited? is 1t not
possible that you yourself feel tri1e less vlgor-
Gus than in tue past: Is il a fact that the Amer
lean people are growing weaker, or is 1t due 10
some local cause? There can be little doubt that
it is owing almost entirely to the fearful after ef-
fects OF the Grip. This terrible and myste rious
complaint starting unaccountably and running
severely, invariably leaves the person In n

GRANDFATHER.s BARN.

Oh don't you remember our grandfather's barn,
Where our cousins and we met to play
How we. climbed ON the beams and scaffolds
Or tumbled at viii ON tbs hay;
How we sat in row on the bundles OF straw,
And riddles and witch stories told,
While the sunshine came in through the cracks
of the south.
And turned ali the dust into goldP
How we played hide and seek in each Granny and
nook,
Wherever child could be stowedP
Then we made us a coach of hogshead OF rye,
And on 1t to Boston werode;
And then we kept store and sold barley and
And corn by the bushel or bin;
And straws for our sisters to braid into hats,
And fax for our mothers TO spin.
Then we played we were biddies. and cackled
and crowed
TIL grandmother came to see
II the weasels were killing the old speckled hen.
Or whatever the trouble might be;
How she patted our heads when she saw her
mistake,
And called us her sweet 4chicken-dearsr
While a tear dimmed her eye as the picture re.
called
The scenes OF her own vanished years.
How we Uttered snd swung, and played meeting
and school,
And Indian. and soldier and bearP
While up on tho rafters the swallows kept
house,
Or sailed through the soft summer air.
How we 1onged TO peep into their curious nests
But they were too far overhead;
SO we wished we were giants, or winged like the
birds,
And don't you remember the racket we made
When selling at auction the hay;
And how we wound up with keel-over leap
From the scaffold down into the bayP
When we went in to supper, our grandfather

Journalism as She Was.


On Friday, Aug. 90, 1773, appeared
and the Baltimore Advertiser, a weekly
then, but now the daily Baltimore
american. Fac-similes of the news
paper infant are being sent out by the
enterprising publishers of the adult
american. Looked at through eyes of
1891 the old Journal is curiosity
worth possessing. 1t is a four-page
three-column paper about ten by twenty
inches in size and the type used is
small. The old English style of SPELL
ing is used, and IF" is made to do duty
as an S." Readers of old English pub.
locations know how it appears. For in-
stance, w. Goddard, the publisher,
says in his address to the public" that
he had great difficulty in obtaining
proper Affortment of Printing Material
or an adequate Number of Subscribers"
Under New York date of Aug. II, the
Journal says: "The floop Mififippi,
Captain Goodrich, with her Connecticut
Military Adventurerf, arrived here from
the Mitfiffippi, but latt from Penfacola,
the 10th inf. The country they went
to explore they like we'll, having laid
out % townfhips at the Natchez." New
| policemen had begun to arrive as early
as 1773, for under the same New York
date It is announced that within this
| fortnight three thousand five hundred
! paffengers have arrived in Philadelphia
from Ireland" The Journal promises
to give its readers the latest news, do
nestle and foreign, but its London news
items are dated June Is, or over two
months late. But this was before the
days of Cyrus Field and Atlantic cables.
George Washington has an "ad. in the
shape of letter in the Journal. 1t is
dated Mount Vernon, in Virginia, July
Is, 1773." Washington was in the real
estate business then. He imparts the
information to the public that he has
obtained patents to upwards of 10000
Acres of Land on the Ohio aud Great
Kanhawa. which he propofes to divide
into any fized tenements that may be
defired and lease upon moderate terms.
AT thefe lands" Washington continues,
"are among the firft which have been
furveyed in the part of the country they
lie in, it if almoft needless to premife
that none can exceed them in luxuriauce
of foil or convenience of fituation, all of
them lying upon the bankf either of the
Ohio or Kanhawa, and Astounding with
fine fifth and wild fowl of various kinds,
as also in mott excellent meadows, many
of which (by the bountiful hand of
nature) are in their prefent ftate almost
fit for the fcythe." Among the adver-
tisers in the paper are Christopher
Hughes g. Co., Goldsmiths and
Jewellers, at the Sign of the Cup and
Grown, the corner of Market end Gray
streets, in the Houfe where Mr.. Jacob
Myers formerly lived, and opposite Mr..
Usher's new store Gate Mr.. Little's

Securing Silence,

John Leech, whose humorous pictures
made Punch, was driven out of London
by the hand-organs and street-bands.
Their noise affected his nerves and pre-
vented him from drawing, and though
he tried again and again, he was unable
to silence them. Mr.. Montague Will
Jams tells, in his Later Leaves" of o
lawyer who did silence cornet-player
who spent most of the day playing his
instrument.
The lawyer, poor, old and eccentric,
lived in two attic rooms beneath which
resided the cornet-player. Annoyed at
the mans persistent playing, the law
yer demonstrated repeatedly, but in
vain. One afternoon, the man, in an
swer to the lawyers protest remarked
that an Englishman's house was his cas-
tie, and that he should play when and
as long as he pleased.
That night, just as the musician had
fallen to sleep, he was awakened by an
unearthly din. A terrible pounding
was going on in the room overhead. He
flung blanket about his shivering
body, and ran upstairs. There was a
light in the lawyers room, the door
stood open, and in he rushed.
What he saw took away his breath.
The old lawyer was sitting on the floor,
singing lugubrious ditty, and driving
large nails into the boards with ma
sons hammer. The cornet-player en-
treated him to desist. The answer
was another nail driven into the floor,
another, and yet another. Then the
lawyer paused and said:
| sYou make my life misery to me all
day long, and now that the night has
come it's my turn"
Down again came the heavy hammer.
and another nail was driven home.
The cornet-player, seeing that the
lawyer was master of the situation,
agreed not to play during the day. if the
lawyer was at home. The truce was
made, and silenced reigned.
