The Maniac Wondered.

Mr.. L, clergyman, had accept
ed an invitation to talk to the patients
of an insane asylum. In his address he
said he tried to talk on subjects they
could grasp readily, using language that
was simple. One ofthe subjects treated
was that of the mothers who threw their
children into the Ganges, thinking
they were appeasing the wrath Of the
gods.
During his talk about this Mr.. i
noticed one of his congregation, man,
who had his eyes riveted upon him.
The mans face was a study. His atti
tude was so direct and SO hendish that
it annoyed the speaker.
After the discourse Mr.. L went
among the patients. He met the man
with the giaring eyes and took his
hand.
The minister told him he had noticed
his close attention to some portions OF
the sermon.
Il notlced," said Mr.. L, "that
you were particularly interested when l
spoke about the mothers throwing their
babes into the river Ganges. | would
like to know, my good fellow. what was
passing through your mind while was
talking on that subject"
The maniac glared again at the preach
er and replied:
II was wondering why your mother
didn't throw YOU in. "-I1dbits.

Health in the Sunbeam.

Half the zymohc disease in the world
is the result of damp, dark, and their
progeny-mold, decay and dirt-says a
writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. Any
physician will testify to that. The fol-
lowing quotations from a paper read re-
Gently before the American Public
Health Association by its president,
Frederick Montizambert, M. D., f. Il.
c. s., D. c. L., of Quebec, ought to be
read by every housekeeper in this coun-
try:
Everyone can do little, if only TO
make one home or one room bright,
more clearly and more wholesome.
Sunlight. pure air and thorough cleanli-
ness are natural enemies to disease
germs. The experiments of Koch, Ran
some and others prove that the living
germs of consumption, when exposed
to the sunlight, lose their vitality in a
few hours, or even in few minutes, if
the layer in which they are exposed be
thin enough, and that even ordinary
daylight. if it last long enough, will have
a similar effect. There is no sounder
philosophy than the old saying that
there is more health in a sunbeam than
in drugs, more life in pure air than IN a
physician' S skill. ,"

THE GRIPPE.

The grippe is remarkable from the
suddenness of its attack upon its VIC
Tins. The first warning is Fremont
tory chill. If Reds GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE be taken 1t viii
efectually ward off the attack. 1t has
been tried in hundreds of cases and
never has failed. The reason is that
unlike most cough remedies it contains
no narcotic. 1t stimulates the kidneys,
relieves the lungs of their pressure, aids
the digestion and thus enables the sys-
tenn to throw off the disease. In this
respect it is different from any othe1
cough remedy on the market. 1t IS
well known that unless person is pre-
disposed III some way grippe will NOT
attack them. This is the reason why
so many escape while it RACES all around
them. In some unguarded way the.
system has been exposed and the mi
crobe that causes the grippe enters and
begins its work. REDS GERMAN
Couch AND KIDNEY CURE will pre-
vent an attack and cure it after it has
started. Get it of your dealer.

Read Her Ruin IN a Novel.

The possibilities of the Ibs-Tolstoi
current IN literature in affecting real life
We're i'll gstrated remarkably in the dis
trict criminal court of Leopoldstadt,
Vienna, some two weeks ago. The COM
plainant was drygoods merchant,
August Klein. His wife had been
forced to her ruin six years since by
the prisoner, a letter carrier, who had
gained access to her parlor in her hus-
band S absence. The story of the wife

Judge Ito husband )-'How came she
to confess to you?''
Mr.. klein-'We were reading novel,
a realistic novel, about divorce. In it q
ibertine played the leading part and
forced young wife to her ruin. The
stuff was not to my taste and threw
down the book, saying to my wife:
Such things happen in novels, but new

saw that she was trembling from head

The lawyer for the prisoner ac-
knowledged that his client was guilty,
as alleged, but moved for acquittal on
the ground that, under the statutes of
limitations, the letter-carrier's crime
was outlawed. This motion was grant
ed by the judge. With q shout of rage
Klein caught his wife by the shoulders,
threw her toward the ietter-carrier, ex-
claiming: "Take her, you rascal; take

Keeping OLD Men Quiet.

Dean Swift in his diary wrote, at the
age of 80, among certain rules to be fol-
owed when he got old: ''Not TO slip
into the garrulity of old age" A we'll
known compounder in Cambridge has
developed in his laboratories where his
goods are prepared a curious race of old
men who never tell secret. To enable
HIM to guard the rich secrets Of his lab
oratories he pays his men with salaries
that advance pace by pace with the
length of service. The result is that the
highest paid workman in his shops is a
very old man, who may be seen tottering
round with pail of oatmeal water for

mas morning there is a rustic OF excite
ment through the house. Ghostly forms
hit through the halls and happy voices
shout Merry Christmas p' from door to
door. Then come the hurried dressing,
the Jolly breakfast, the exchange OF gifts,
ana all the dear delights of the day of

tract the attention from these joys. The
solemn silence of the country in winter
surrounds them on every side, and makes
