Pleasures of Memory.

What blessed thing is memory!
How it brings up the pleasures OF the
past, aud hides its unpleasan,uesses!
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associ-
atoms, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind comes
the face of some friend. 1t was once
u pale, sad face. 1t showed marks of
pain, lines Of care. 1t seemed to be
looking into the here after, the un.
known future. And then you recalled
how it frightened, how it recovered
its rosy hue, how it became picture
of happiness and joy. DO you remem-
Der these things? Many people do,
and gladly tell how the health returned,
how happiness came back, how the
world seemed bright. They tell how
they were once weak, nerveless, per.
haps in pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell of sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung
nerves. And then they tell how
they became happy, healthy and
strong once more. You have heard it
often in the past, have you not? You
have heard people describe how they
were cured end kept in health? You
certainly can remember what it is
that has SO helped people in America.
If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie
Jenness Muller, who is known uni
versal!y as the great dress reformer,
says: "Six years ago, when suffering
from mental care and overwork, re-.
ceived the most pronounced hene fit
from the use of that great medicine,
Warmers Safe Cure" All, now you
remember. Now you recall how
many people you have heard say this
same thing. Now you recollect how
much you have heard of this great
Cure. Now you are ready to admit
that memory is usually pleasing. that
the highest pleasure comes from per
feet health, and that this great remedy
has done more to produce aud prolong
health than any other discovery ever
known in the entire history OF the
whole world.

Glass Filling for the Teeth.

Persons who object to the conspic,
uousness Of gold filling when it is
placed in the front teeth may now
have their dentists use a substance
which resembles the teeth so closely
in color that its presence can be de.
tected only by close and careful
examination. This new filing is a
kind Of glass and is the invention Of
a German. 1t was put on the market
only a short time ago, but it has been
used enough to prove tina. the idea is
capital one. The glass comes in
the form of sand, which is made o:
nine different tin,s. Those hues
range from a bright white through
various yellows to kind Of pale pink.
Generally a set Of teeth will have
about the color of one of the ten
kinds OF sand, but to have the two
exactly the same it may be necessary
to mix two shades.

THE ROSE AND THE LILY.
BY LULU +. wARIN0.

rose and lily grew side by side,
The lily looked dropping and woe-betide;
"What ails your said the rose to the lily.
"TO act ~ you do seems to me awful silly"
Answered the lily: 'whst good am 1,
Only to droop. and wither, and diep
Do you know what I'd do If had my wayf
Why. I'd go to the sick girl across the way,
Id smile and nod at her all could.
And she'd get better-thAt she would.'
Replied the rose, with smiling air:
''I'd rather be twined In that young girls hair
The rose was plucked and said "Good- bye,"
The lily answered with q sigh;
The rose was twined in the young girls hair,
And she looked very sweet and fair.
That night to a ball the fair girl went.
Tho rose was happy and we'll content;
As the night wore the rose fell out
And was crushed by the many feet about.
The lily was taken across the way
And nodded its pretty head all day.
And 1t continued to nod and smile.
Cheering the sick girl all the while.
The sick girl. now, was out of bed;
I'm always Csing to keep you. lily. seer
For the good you have done to me!
Please put 1t in book want it pressed"
And she gave the lily one loving caress.
So ended the lives OF the lose and lily
One was bright, but the other was silly;
30 might our lives be doing good
II we were wise and only would.

Why Girls Want Old Gloves.
Baltimore American. |

Baltimore Am-rican.
Days when girl asked every man
she met for necktie for her crazy
quilt are passed; she no longer col
lects his handkerchiefs to make cur
tains for her widows, and even his
matchbox is comparatively safe. But
now the latest fad is to ask the men
for their old evening gloves. What
dees she do with them?" the un.
initiated naturally ask. For "dream
gloves" is the reply. This is the way
of it. Her hands, perhaps, still retain
some of the summer tan; perhaps
they are rough because she had helped
in the house work; or they may be
chapped from being chilled. What
ever the cause the remedy prescribed
is "grease and gloves"
Now our dear girl finds her own
gloves too tight for this purpose, and
then, generally, she wears hers until
they are quite useless So she thinks
she will borrow her brothers evening
gloves, since he casts his away after
the first appearance of soil. Then my
lady thought it would be so much
nicer were she to have his gloves to
protect her hanls, his gloves to tuck
under her pretty cheek, his gloves to
dream upon. Hence the origin ofthe
name and the fad. What will be the
next?

How Great Singers Preserve Their
Voices.

Nine. Patti told me once that she
guarded against colds and drafts,
and pampered her voice as mother
pets loving child. She has no
established rule for preserving it. She
simply uses common sense, does not
strain the vocal chords, rests her voice
after singing, and does not even speak
for hours previous to singing in pub
lie. Besides, she is most abstem ious.
She is careful what she eats aud drinks.
and when she goes out of doors she is
warmly clad. Her husband and her
maids watch her tenderly. She sleep
until she is thoroughly rested.
She does not let any body or anv.
thing worry her. She lives a life OF
perfect ease, and she practises con
stantly. She runs the scales daily,
and IN her own rooms at the hotels
where she stops she devotes some
time to practise each day. When she
travels she goes in private car, and
everything that can be done for her
comfort and convenience is done for
her by her managers.
Other world-famous singers who
have preserved their voices use only
constant care. Nilsson, Mari. Roze,
Scalchi, Lehman, Juch, Russell,
Eames and Ssnderson are prudent as
TO what they eat and drink, and the
warmth OF their clothing when they
go out. Sims Reeves, who still sings
we'll, although he is now an old man,
guards his throat with jealous care
and is exceedingly temperate in his
diet. Campanini ruined his great
voice by not taking care of himself
Jean de Reszke boasts that he does
not pay any special attention to his
voice, eats what he pleases and goes
out in all sorts of weather without
mufliing his neck.
Nevertheless, the concensus OF
opinion of all good singers. as we'll as
those who use their voices on the
stage, in courts, in halls of legislation
and in the pulpit, is that to preserve
the voice great care must be exercised
in eating and drinking, and avoiding
sudden changes Of the weather.

How to Stamp an Envelope.

An observer watched a young wo.
man putting a stamp on an envelope.
She moistened the back of the stamp
with her tongue, and then stuck it on
the envelope. "rhat's the way" said
the observer; edo all you can to send
that letter to the dead letter Office
1t is just as easy to moisten the enve'
lope and put the stamp on that way
but nine.tentks Of the people whom
l know always moisten the gum or
the back of the stamp, and by sc
doing remove half the adhesive, anc
leave the stamp in danger Of slipping
off the envelope as soon as it get'
dry"

Printers Ink from Petroleum.

A revolution is threatened in the
manufacture OF printers ink. The
innovator is crude petroleum, from
which the ink is now being made in
California. The cost of production
is very low. Manufacturers are en-.
gagged in exp riments with view to
increase the adaptability OF petroleum
for its newly applied purpose. If
these prove successful it is believed
that the inks now in use will be su
perseded.

hostile to the French scheme and In the
direction of asserting American rights.
No doubt some money was expended in
this country in organizing and maintain
ing for a few year the American COM
mittee, but that committee never made
any impression on the American people
or on Congress. 1t is probable the
whole movement in this country was a
sort of sham. intended to affect public
opinion in France by creating the i'm
preston there that the American people
were interested in the prosecution of the
work. 1t has been strenuousIy main

The Story About Secretary Foster and the
President Promptly Exploded.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 50.-In regard TO the
story published in New York that Secretary
Charles Foster. when In New York. recent
ly, submitted to bankers q proposition to
issue fifty or q hundre millions of bonds.
but was halted by o telegram from the
President. it is authoritatively stated at
the White House that the President was
not informed of the intention of the Score
tary of the Treasury to visit New York,
and has not communicated with him
or heard from him in any q
He has not been unobservant OF
the financial situation. n does
not think the Treasury will find 1t neces-
sary to adopt any new policy. He has said
several times. publicly. that ho would
MAINTAIN the parity of all our money issues.
and that declaration stands. There was
no disagreement between the President
aud Secretary as TO the management OF the
Treasury.
Acting Secretary Spaulding said this
morning that the story that Secretary
Foster was trying to secure subscribers Tor
q new government loan was not true. Sec
rotary Foster, he said, went TO New York
on private business. I'VE have" he con-
tinued. sufficient gold for all practical
purposes. and 1t is increasing daily. There
Is no necessity to employ unusual methods
to build up our gold holdings"

INDICATED BY THE RESULTS.

"The mostprosperOus year ever known
in business closes to-day" is the intro
ductory sentence to the weeks review
of the commercial agency of r. G. Dun
81 Co. The review proceeds: "The vol
IN of business is 10 per cent. larger
than last year, and the largest ever
known. The excess of merchandise ex-
ports has not been far from $70, 000, 900,
while the imports have been the largest.
and the aggregate of exports and inn
ports has been the largest eve known
in any year, This is not q campaign
declaration or that of q Republican Off
cial DESTROYS of making a most favor
able showing for the policy of his party,
but that of a conservative financial
agency to the business and industry of
the country. Following the foregoing
testimony to the unparalleled prosperity
of the country the same impartial au-
thority furnishes the following statistics
showing that the disasters of business
have beer less than for years:
The number of failures in the United
States in the year 1892. as reported by X.
g. Dun q Co.. Is 1884, being a less mum.
Der than in any year since 1883. and show
ing a difference in favor of the present
year. as compared with 1891, of 2,029. The
Indebtedness of the failures for the past
year also shows a marked decrease, being
S114, 0)0. 900 In 1892. as against SlSg. 0C0. 600 in
1891. and a nearly similar amount in 1880.
The largely augmented number of traders
and the enormous increase in transactions
i'm the year render these figures very sig
niticant. Only one in every lis traders IN
the United States succumbed in 1892. as
against one In every Dinety-three in 1891
and one IN every 102 in $780, The average
liabilities of the failures in the last year
was $1,000. being the lowest average re-
ported since 1878. ~
In the history of the county there has
never been such a year Of general pros
perity as the second full year under the
Mckinley tariff and the fourth of the
Harrison administration. Never in the
history of parties in this country has the
prosperity borne such irrefutable tes-
timony to the wisdom of the policy of n
party as has the general and abundant
prosperity following the Mckinley law
to the Republican party. While 1t may
appear that the country has not
toned that policy. its results have
crowned it with the great success which
comes of real craftsmanship.

the ravine, were forming across the ridge.
The two forces opened fire at once, the In
fantry and O'Brien's guns. against the
Mexican eight-pouBder battery. The
former were very destructive; whole p.a-
toons went down under their grape and
canister, though the fire OF the eight
FOUNDER Mexican battery was also destruct-
I've. This unequal contest continued bout
twenty-five minutes. Pacheco's front being
thrown repeatedly into the greatest con-
fusion. General Lane, on the left of tho
infantry. ordered q further advance down
the ridge. intending to force Pacheco from
it back into the ravine, and at the Same
time get ont of range OF the Mexican bat
terry To his left and rear. O'Brien linn bered
up. moved forward, came into battery and
opened with grape and canister: his in
fantry support. however, did not follow.
but broke oft from the right and left the
field.
Further or this author says: "This
force (Pacheco's) was ordered to ad-
vance, whilst the Second Indiana and
O'Brien were engaged, and had barely
reached a point from which to fire with
effect when Lanes men gave way. as
previously described" In another place
he refers to ''the %reorganized portion of
the Second Indiana" as joining the
First Mississippi Rifles and rendering
good service.
In these official reports of Generals
Taylor and Wool, and the narrative Of
General Wilcox, there does not appear
to be any purpose to SANDER Indiana
troops, and their concurrent testimony,
which might be supported by other,
leaves no doubt whatever that the Sec
ond Indiana Regiment did give way un-
der a CALLING fire at Buena Vista; hat a
large number. if not most, of the men
left the field. and that a portion of the
regiment rallied, joined the First Mis-
sissippi and rendered effective service.
If this is the truth of history, as oil con-
tempOraneous proof Shove 1T to be, it is
more manly to face than to deny it. At
all events, it is not true that any charge
of cowardice was ever brought against
Indiana's first five regiments.
Indiana furnished. all told, 4,470 men
for the Mexican war, of whom forty
seven were killed. The casualties were
confined to the Second and Third regi-
ments in the battle of Buena Vista, and
the records at hand do not show that
the First, Fourth and Fifth regiments
were in any engagement.

THE WHITE HOUSE QUARANTINE.

Evil Results of Combining the Public Office
and Residence of the Pres dent
WASHINGTON, Dec. S0.-"It is a singular
commentary on American institutions"
says the Star. that the President of the
United States is compelled by stres of cir
cumstances to conduct the business of his
office in q building the principal part of
which is q~uarsntined by the local health
authorities as a place of danger. This is
one OF the evil results of combining the
public office and the private residence of
the chief executive in the same building.
The Presidents Grandchlld is down with
the scarlet fever. and the entire household,
from the President down. are in more or
less danger from the contagion. The fact
that the patient is isolated in o secluded
part of the mansion, of course. min
imizes the danger. but does not
remove 1t altogether, despite the extreme
sanitary precautions taken for their safety.
Fortunately the disease has been success
fully confined To the one case so far. but
there is no certainty that il may not claim
another victim among the many persons
whom existing conditions compel to re-
main under the same roof"
One Of the effects of the present condition
of affairs at the White House Is To delay
the formal presentation to the President Of
the Brazilian commissioners, who are now
in this city for the purpose OF submitting
TO his arbitrament the question In dispute
between Brazil and the Argentine Re-
public over the Missions boundary line.
They presented q request to that effect TO
Secretary John w. Foster, but at
his suggestion the ceremony has been
deferred for the present, on account of
sickness in the Presidents family. 1t 10
not altogether improbable that the Presi-
dent may deem it advisable to accord them
partment. OF at the residence of the Score
tary OF State, as there is no likelihood of
the quarantine at the White House being
raised for two weeks vet. These presenta-
tions usually take place in the Blue parlor.
1t being the only good audience chamber
in the building. but the President may
waive all precedents in such matters and
receive the visitors in his pri-
yate office. This Is q much less
pretentiOus apartment. but might
answer the purpose as well as the other.
The Argentine commissioner have not yet
reached here. so there Is no Immediate oc.
casion for consideration of the main ques-
lions at Issue. These gentlemen left their
own capital some time ago for this country,
but as they are making the trip by way of
Europe. it is supposed that they have been
temporarily detained at London, Paris or
some other foreign capital.
All meetings OF the Cabinet have been
called OFT for the present. The members,

general Miller made q short visit To the
White House to-day. The President went
out walking in the afternoon with the two
Mckee children, for whose safety he is
specially solicitiOus.
