Petition OF ". {. Il.

Among the things evolved by the w. C.
T. l. must be reckoned the petition sent
out by Mrs. Frances J. Barnes, National
Superintendent Of ttYn work, and indorstd
by over three hundred thousand young
women representing unions throughout
the United States. Printed in carmine and
black, on fire paper, it is geographically
tie most beautiful petition ever sent out;
its words are worthy their setting.
"Recogrizing the manliness and intelli-
gence which has caused the students in
several ofthe most influential and widely
known Institutions Of learning in the
United States to exclude wine from their
class suppers, the members of the Young
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
whose desire it is TO raise an equal stan
dard Of purity and total abstinence, most
heartily commend such action. and do
earnestly petition all students, teachers,
professors, ministers and laymen to Danish
alcoholic beverages from class supper,
alumni dinners and all school and college
festivals. We ask this for the great moral
influence it will exert, and also because
we believe example as we'll as precept is
needed to promote scientific temperance
instruction.

An autograph letter of Abraham LIN
coln to a frierd is said to contain the fol-
lowing: DO not worry. Eat three
square meals a day. Say your prayers.
Think of your wife. BE courteous to your
creditors. Keep your digestion coed.
Steer clear Of biliousness. Exercise. Go
slow and easy. May be there are other
reasons that your especial case requires to
make you happy, but, my friend, these. I
reckon, viii give you a good lift."-Ntw

Advantage ofTofai Abstinence,

It has often been noted that moderate
drinking lowers the Vitality aud resisting
powers o. the system. This enect Of alco-
hol shows itself when a moderate drlnker
falls with an attack Of pneumonia or meets
with an accident such as breaking his leg
In a large proportion Of cases delirium ire
mems will develop and greatly diminish the
patients chances for recovery. The deliFium
is not due to alcohol, but to the fact that
alcohol lowers the resistance ofthe nervous
system, and the shock causes delirium. This
is especially SO in those ~exhausting diseases
such as pntnmonia and typhoid, il, which
recovery depends so much on the vitality of
the patient, and the readiness with which
stimulan's act in moments Of heart failure.
If the system is used to alcohol, even in
small doses, the effect will not be so marked
when 1t is used as a medicine in sickness
and the chances for life VIII be diminished.

THE VIRUS CiIRE

First they pumped him full of virus from some
mediocre COW,
Lest the smallpox might assail him and leave
pitmarks on his brow;
Then one day bulldog bit him-he was gum

And they filled his veins in Paris with an extract
of mad dog;
Then he caught tuberculosis, they took him
TO Berlin,
And Injected half gallon of bacille into him;
Well, his friends were all del1g GIFTED with the
QuickneSs of the cure,
TIL he caught the typhoid fever, and speedy
death was sure:
Then the doctors with some sewage did lnocu-
And injected half its gastric juice into his
abdomen:
But as soon as he recovered, as of course he had
to do,
There came along rartlesnake and bit his
thumb in two;
once again his veins were opened to receive
about gill
of some serpentine solution with the venom in
it still;
TO prepare him for voyage in an Asiatic
sea,
New blood was pumped into him from lep'rous
Soon his appetite had vanished and he could
not eat at all,
50 the virus of dyspepsia was injected in the
fall;
But his blood was so diluted with the remedies
he'd taken,
That one day be laid him down and died and
never did awaken;
With the Brown-Sequard elixir though they
tried Tesuscilation
He never showed a symptom of reviving ANNA

Yet his doctor still could save him Che persist

Barrios was easily the prince Of all tina t
class. When he stopped with us he
sent down draft one day by his secre-
tary, that called for $4,000, and he
wanted the money instantly. l sug-
gested going to the bank, but the Presi-
dent didn't relish any such formality.
However, took his secretary and got
1t, explaining to the latter that few no.
tells kept that much money lying about
in the till. He said nothing to his chief
about our visit to the bank. Whenever
a barber went to the Presidents rooms
to exercise his art he was presented
with a So gold piece. On leaving, Gen.
Barrios distributed among the servants
who had waited on him about $500. I
fear swe shall not look upon his like

A Joke on the Dandy.

lie was real pretty young man,
whom the Kansas City Globe tells about,
and he was gotten up in the highest
style of the art. He sat in the cable
car, near to the stove, and regarded
with evident admiration pair of very
positive, very large-checked, and very
new trousers, which he pulled up care
fully at the knees to prevent any ten
dency to bagging.
The car ratified and clattered along
and all the passengers gaZed into up
ward vacancy, like all cable car pas
sengers do. Finally fair maiden who
sat opposite the young man saw some
thing and eiggled, after the fashion of
her kind. Then she looked at the nice
young man and giggled again, then she
nudged her fair companion, and the
fair mpanion gazed across the car,
looked at the young man and glggled.
A small boy followed their looks, stared
at something over the young mans
head, and then snorted
All this annoyed the nice young man,
who had been looking very Wise, and
when two or three other passengers
joined in the chorus he began to wiggle
and quit looking wise. The laughing
increased and grew and spread, and the
nice young man grew desperate. He
got up to see what it was over his head
that caused the unseen y cachinnation.
He found it. 1t was che of those card
board signs that adorn cable cars. It
was printed in big black letters, and it
read:
"The young man sitting beneath this
card is one of our customers. He is
very fussv and hard to please, but my,
isn't he an elegant dressed? He has
pair of our So pants"
The nice young man left the car, left
in haste, in anger, leaving behind him
some very naughty words that smell Of

A Library Piano.

The piano has long been means of
1ntilctlng the most exquisite torture on
those who were unwillingly compelled
to listen to it's strains as evoked by the
miscellaneous performer. There has
lately, however, appeared tendency
on the part Of inventors to attempt to
mitigate this form of human misery, and
the latest variation OF recent idea of
covering the instrument with plush is to
bring, out library piano covered
with leather, material which would at
the same time lend itself to ornamental
effects and considerably reduce the
volume of sound.
Another device which will doubtless
be hailed with gratitude by fathers OF
families, schoolmasters, schOolmis-
tresses and their neighbors has just
been patented. This invention is
called "the pianophone," and is de-
signed to meet the wants of students OF
keyboard instruments, by allowing
them to practice scales and exercises
without interfering with the con-
venience of involuntary listeners, while
still able themselves to hear the results
of their performance. 1t consists of a
5 7-12 octave keyboard with keys of the
same size and description as the or
binary pianoforte, simple but effective
striking action, and the substitution of
metallic plates for the ordinary strings
These being accurately turned to the
ordinary scale, yield sufficient sound to
make the playing on the instrument
distinctly audible to the player, and
even Gas in the case of the "sileni
violin'') a source Of pleasure to him
while it is inaudible at any distance
such, for instance, as an adjoining
room. One great advantage is thai
the instrument never gets out of tune
and is easily moved from one place te
| another.

Fuckers Shortage.

Anecdotes of Gen. Spinner have
called forth anecdotes of almost all his
associates in Washington in war times.
Gen. Rucker, who was in charge of for
warding supplies for the army of the
Potomac, was almost as much of char
acter as Gen. Spinner. AS long as he
kept supplies moving he cared little
about mis- accounts. A treasury official
called Gen. Fuckers attention to the
fact that he was about 81 100000 short.
"Take it out of my pay" said the Gen
eral with great dignity. The treasury
official figured that it would take SOC
years pay of the quarter-general to
make good the deficit which, after all
was found to be merely matter OF
bookkeeping.

A Pleasing Entertainment.

Miss Jean Cowgirl. the young lady
elocutionist who entertained Custer
audience at Garlock's opera house, left
a most pleasant impression. The lady
makes an excellent appearance, has a
fine voice in perfect command, aud the
variety of her recitations prevents even
a thought of monotony. She held the
attention Of she audience throughout
the evening and left them surprised and
pleased beyond expression. The music
by quartette of Custer talent was very
fine and added to the success ofthe enter
tainment Miss Cowgirl departed Mon
day morning for Hill City where she was
billed for recital that evening. She
promises to return TO Custer in the near
future and if she does the CHRONICLE
ventures the assurance that she will
meet with n hearty welcome.
