Chauncey NJ. Depew and the Cigar.

Mr.. Depew, the well-known orator
and railroad president, related the fol-
lowing experience of his victory over
the cigar:
used to smoke twenty cigars day,
and continued it until l was worn out
/ didn't know what was the matter
with me, and physicians that | applied
to did not mention tobacco. | used to
go to bed at two O'Clock in the morn
ing, and wake at five or six. 1 had no
appetite, and was dyspeptic.
was in the habit of smoking at my
desk, and thought that derived mate
rial assistance in my work from it..
After time found that l couldn't do
any work without tobacco. could pre-
pare brief or argument without to-
bacco, but still was harassed by feel
ing that something was amiss, and the
result was not up to the mark.
also found that was incapable of
doing any great amount of work. My
power of concentration was greatly
weakened, and l could not think well
without a lighted cigar in my mouth.
Now it is perfectly clear that without
this power of concentration a man is
incapable of doing many things. 1t is
this which enables him to attend to va
rious and multifarious affairs; to drop
one absolutely and take up another and
give it full attention.
One day l bought cigar and was
putting it with a feeling of pleasure
which is only possible to the devotee.
smoked only few minutes and then
took it out of my mouth and looked at
it. l said to it, My friend and bosom
companion, you have always been dearer
to me far than gold. To you l have
ever been devoted, yet you are the
cause of all my ills. You have played
me false. The time has come that we
must part" 1 gazed sad and longingly
at the cigar, then threw it into the
street. l had been convinced that to-
bacco was running me.
For three months thereafter l under
went the most awful agony. l never
expect to suffer more in this world or
the next. l didn't go to any physician,
or endeavor in any way to palliate my
suffering. Possibly a physician might
have given me something to soften the
tortures. Neither did break my VOW
had made up my mind that l must
forever abandon tobacco or l would be
ruined by it.
AT the end of three months my longing
for it abated. l gained twenty-five
pounds in weight. l slept well for
seven or eight hours every night. l
required that amount because of my
excessive cerebration. When | don't
get it am liable TO rheumatism or sci
atca.
| never smoked from that day to this ;
and while no one knows better than l
the pleasures to be derived from to-
bacco, am still well content to forget
them, knowing their effect,-Evan-
gelical Messenger.

Water as a Disinfectant.

1t is fact that appears to be not
generally known, perhaps because it
may not be generally credited, that
pure, fresh cold water is one of the most
valuable of disinfectants, inasmuch
as it is powerful absorbent. Every
sick-room should have large vessel of
clear water, frequently renewed, placed
not far from the bed, or even beneath
it. This not only absorbs much of the
hurtful vapor, but by its evaporation it
softens and tempers the atmosphere,
doing away with the dryness which is
so trying and depressing to an invalid
or even to well persons, for that mat
ter. 1t has frequently been shown, by
actual experiment, that troubled sleep
and threatened insomnia are corrected
by so simple thing as the placing of
an open bowl of water near the suf-
ferer's couch. Of course, it hardly
need be said, after these matters have
been considered for moment, that
water which has stood for any length
of time in close room is not proper
for drinking purposes Good House

What We Owe to Animals.

Those who have read the story of
Robinson Crusoe, the sailor who was
shipwrecked on an island not inhabited
by white men, will remember how he
soon made companions of the various
animals he found there, and with their
aid sustained life until he was rescued.
If one of us should be shipwrecked
on desert island where no animals
lived-no horses to draw us, no OK to
toll for us, no COW or goat to give us
milk, no sheep to give us wool, no hens
to give us eggs, no dog to be our COM
panion and guard us in the night, no
cat to lie on the hearth, no birds to sing
their songs, no living creature to keep
us company, no sound of any living
thing by day or night, only solitude
and silence everywhere, with nothing
to eat but such roots as we could dig
from the earth, and nothing to wear
but such bark as we could pluck from
the tree-we should then know how
much we owe to these creatures, which
God has mercifully provided for our
use. And ever afterwards, if we es-
capped from such life, how grateful we
should be to God for giving them, and
how grateful to them for the service
they render us! 1t has been said by
those who have studied about it that if
only the birds were all destroyed, we
could not live on the earth; for the in
sects which the birds eat would destroy
all vegetation, and all human life would
perish. TtCelve Lessons on Kindness 10

Sick. Room Sirups and Such.

RASPBERRY SIRUP.-On three quarts
of red raspberries pour one and one
half pints of cider vinegar, and let
stand twenty-four hours. Strain, and
to each pint of the liquid add pound
utes, skim and bottle, sealing tightly.
CURRANT SIRUP.-To four quarts of
ripe fruit add quart of vinegar, and
let it stand three days, stirring it occa-
sionally; then strain and boil ten min
utes; add pound of sugar for each
pint of juice, boil twenty minutes
longer, skim and bottle tightly.

let it stand twenty-four hours; strain,
then add three-quarters of pound of
sugar for each pint of juice, boil fifteen
minutes, then skim and bottle tightly.

three ounces of fresh orange peel add
one and one-half pints of boiling water;
cover the dish, and let it stand all

WhOOping-COagh

Common thyme, which was recon-
mended in whooping-cough three or
four years ago by DR.. S. B. Johnson, is
regarded by DR.. Neovius, who writes a
paper on the subject in Finnish medi-
cal journal, as almost worthy the title
of a specific. During an epidemic of
whooping-cough he had ample opportu-
mites of observing its effects, and he
came to the conclusion that if it is given
early and constantly, it invariably cuts
short the disease in fortnight, the
symptoms generally vanishing in two
or three days. They are, he finds, liable
to return if the thyme is not regularly
taken for at least two weeks. Regard
ing the dose, he advises that a larger
quantity than DR.. johnson prescribed
be taken. He gives from one ounce
and half to six ounces per diem, COM
bined with little marshmallow strip.
He never saw an undesirable effect pro-
duced, except slight diarrh@a. 1t is
important that the drug should be used
quite fresh.-Ldncet.

relating her days adventures to an as
sembly of uncles, aunts and cousins of
all ages, from sixteen to eighty, the
only expressions were of sympathy for
the poor girls sufferings, and of amuse-
ment that the "South Carolina gentle
man :" should have supposed that any
other gentleman in the same circum-
stances would not have done the same
thing.
"Does the man suppose" said royal
looking James Kane Livingstone, smil-
ing down from his six feet and four
inches of hight, as he stood with his
back to the fire, the light shining
brightly over the cleaning silver Of his
thickly-waving hair, "does he for an
instant imagine that there are no gen.
tlemen in New York? Why, who could
have done less2"
emo one," said with decision stout
David Codwise, bearing well the weight
of his eighty years; ono gentleman,
anywhere, could have done less"
And so the comment went on, and
none of all the circle thought of such a
thing as warning the young country
girl that she ought to have "spoken to
a policeman" that cit was dangerous
to allow a stranger to assist her" in
any difficulty. And why did they not?
Because, in the first place, it was not
dangerous, as not only this little his
tory but countless others serve TO show;
and, in the second place, our police
force did not then bear the fine reputa-
ton that it now does. Whether Justly
or not, it was currently believed that
the police were hand and glove with
roughs and thieves.

Burberry Cake.

Here is a rule for BURBERRY cake
which am sure will prove welcome at
this season, when the fruit is so
abundant: For one sheet of cake use
one generous pint of flour, half a
pint of milk, one gill of sugar, one egg,
two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, half pint of blueberries and
two tablespoontuls of butter. Mix the
baking powder, sugar and salt with the
-four and rub through sieve; then
work the butter through the flour. Beat
the egg till light and add the milk to it.
Add this to the dry ingredients and
beat WELL Now add the berries, STIR
ring as little as possible. Spread the
mixture in a well-buttered, shallow
baking-pan, having it about an inch
and half thick. Bake in moderately
quick oven for about twenty-five min
utes, and serve hot.-Maria Parl0a, IN
