ST. PAUL, Mimi, October, 1880
recently had the opportunity of testing the
celebrated Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic in q
very severe ease. a poor widow to whom 1 have
frequently given aid and assistance in my
capacity as City MissiowGry, sent her - year-od
daughter TO me one evening to procure neees-
sary aid; while she was relating her restitution
and stating that her mother was now nearly to-
tally blind the poor child suddenly ;eu into an
epileptic fit. l gave her two bottles of your
medicine, and the girl is now well and happy,
and the support of her aged mother. The Lord
be thanked l think that such case as this
rebounds to your honor and to the glory OF Him
above, who has given you the knowledge to pre-
pare such blessing for suffering humanity.

Antiauitx Of Nicknames.

The origin of the word as well as
the exact date of appearance of the
custom of .'nicknaming" is unknown.
Such names are as old at least as
the most venerable chronicles, for,
upon diving into ancient history, we
have no trouble at all in proving that
Plato was called the Attic Bee and
Socrates "Old Flat Nose" There
isn't the least doubt but that many
Of our surnames come from nick
names applied to our ancestors, such,
for instance, as "Dollarhide," "Ox-
enrider," Bright, 'Lightfoot, I"
"Walkingshaw," "Redhead, !" Long
man, 'Longfellow," etc.
julius Caesar was popularity styled
"Baldhead, )" and even the third Ra-
meses is said to have been known by
an Egyptian word which signifies
"Limpy." No one has been able to es-
cape the blighting or benign influence
of the nickname. Kings, queens, phi
losophers, divines, statesmen, as well
rs many other eminent persons, have
been made to prosper or suffer by
having some appropriate or ridicu-
lous sobriquet added after the lawful
bestowal of the Christian" name.

How He Succeeded In Life.

The man with the self satisfied air
had stopped to speak to couple of
men ON the street, and when he had
passed one of the men remarked:
There's man who has come up
in the world rapidly"
''Is he brilliant manf" asked the
other.
well, no; at least no one ever
thought SO.
He must be a hard worker then. I"
mo; he doesn't work any harder
than he has to-.
"Well, ! suppose he has lot of
good hard sense, and that makes him
valuable. -
He has never shown any evi-
dences of it..
The second man thought the mat
ter over for moment and then said:
"Oh, well, some people have a
faculty of making others think they
are smart men even when they are
not"
He hasn't that to any marked ex-
tent. No one considers him par
ticularly able man"
What is the secret of his success
then7"
His ability and readiness to say
things rejecting on the work Of
others. His only hope is to convince
people that others do poor work. -

sThe thing with which I return
home the most impressed, says an
exceptionally intelligent woman who
has lived abroad for some time, ''is
that of the real economy which ex.
lists among Europeans. At first we
lavish Americans term it parsimony,
and sniff at the accounting for candle
ends in the household of a British
peer or the careful thrift of the Ger
man housewife who binds her bed
blankets with deep, loosely caught
binding of cheesecloth to preserve
the nap that comes off infinitesimally
from handling in daily bedmaking,
but after awhile we discover that
side by side with this rigid avoidance
of waste and needless expenditure
there are impressive results and gen
erous, handsome outlays.
They are all skillful, too, in MAX
ing the most of everything, much
more SO than we with the Yankee in.
genuity of which we boast-it seems
inherent, not acquired. At this mo-
ment think the French peasant
woman can serve for FIVE sous bet
ter, more nourishing and appetiz-
ing meal than our scientific kitchens
can put forth for three times that
sum, and this with no disparagement
to the latter. As people we seem
to lack the faculty of getting the
most out of the least; that is, the
maximum of comfort out of the min
imum of expenditure, in striking con-
trast to our transatlantic friends. -

A prominent citizen of Union Hill
boarded street car in Hoboken and
handed Conductor Spencer coin. Spen-
Ger felt the milled edges, and, thinking
1t was fifty cent piece, he put it in his
pocket without examining it and re-
turned forty-five cents change, which
the other man quickly put in his pocket.
A few minutes later the conductor was
making change inside the car and dis
covered that the supposed fifty cent piece
was $40 gold piece. He put it back in
his pocket and asked the Union Hill man
the denomination of the coin he had
given him. 1T was a quarter the
Union Hill man said.
Il gave you twenty cents more than
you are entitled to-" Spencer remarked,
quietly.
The Union Hill man laughed, but did
not offer to return the change.
Elm satisfied If you are" said Spencer.
Nothing more was said until the car
reached the top of the hill at Weehawken
and the man had shown no sign of re-
turning the twenty cents. Then Spencer
said:
If you keep my change Til keep what
you gave me and call it square.
The Union Hill man put his hand in
his pocket and exclaimed: "By Joye!
gave you $40 gold piece"
You did, > replied Spencer, .'and you
intended to swindle me out of twenty
cents. Here's your $40, but you don't
deserve to get it back"
The prominent citizen pocketed the
money and got off the car at the next
corner.-New York Sun.

Devils lake is body of brackish
water of uncertain size. according to
the weather, but covering about 200
square miles on an average, and having
an outlet by marshy stream to the
Cheyenne river, only IN wet seasons
Though the water is too saline for a
stranger to drink it, yet it tabounded with
fish in its natural state; and even now,
in the dead of winter, one NAV see
groups of wiry old squaws here and there
on the ice -four feet thick at the leastD
working the dip seine and bringing
out at each haul two or three pickerel
which are thrown on the ice to freeze
solid in few minutes, after which they
are handled like stones or billets of
wood. To see the poor old creatures
kneeling on the margin of the holes they
have cut through the ice, and with one
arm, bare nearly to the shoulder, thrust
under the edge of the ice to spread the
seine-thermometer from zero to 80 be-
lows novel and interesting sight to
the tourist; that is if he is well wrapped
in fur coat and has thick moccasins or
"German socks over his heavy boots.
The lake in one place is almost cut in
two by a sort of peninsula, with a spoon
shaped extremity running out into the
lake; and there the Indians in the .good
old times" used to make their great buf.
falo drive. Stampeded by mounted men,
from a large sectionadjacent the animals
fled to the lake and were gradually con-
centrated on this peninsula; the hunters
then advanced by boat or along the land
and shot them down Mt leisure. AT
length the white man broke in; the great
Turtle mountain buffalo raids began; for
seventy miles in line the prairie the
next summer was Golgotha-- whitened
with buffalo skeletons-and old settlers
still tell of the "big money" made by
gathering their bones. In five short
years every buffalo was gone, and the
Indians had to starye, fight or emigrate.
They fought and were whipped; part
emigrated and the rest are starving. u.

-.
BRAYDRErH's PILLS ara the best medicine
known.
First-They are purely vegetable in fact
q medicated food.
Second-The same dose always produces
the same eifect-other purgatives require
increased doses and finally cease acting.
Ihird--They purify the blood.
Fourth They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FVth--They stimulate the liver and carry
on vitiated bile and other depraved score
tions.
The first two or three doses tell the story.
The skin becomes clear, the eye bright,
the mind active. digestion Is restored, COS
tiyeness cured, the animal vigor is recruited
and all decay arrested
