Cnmfnrf and Prn0ress

81 think that man gets less comfort
out of life than does any other animal,
said George Mcdonald, guest of the
Southern. Life for him is continual
battle from the cradle to the grave.
What happiness he finds in the compan-
ionship of loved ones is more than coun-
terbalanced by the pain of the inevitable
parting. Poverty, ambition and greed
are scorpion whips, goading him ever to
exertions beyond his strength, until at
last he sinks, worn out and weary, be-
fore he reaches what should be life's
high noon. His very diversions are taken
in feverish, hurried manner, as though
he begrudged the time thus stolen from
business cares. And the higher the posi-
ton of people in a scale of civilization
the less of poetry and pleasure do they
appear to find, the more stubborn and
unrelenting the battle for existence.
With the lower animals life is a luxury
simple existence pleasure.
1.-The barbarian makes holiday while
civilized man slaves all day, and then
outwatches the bear. True it is that
only by constant endeavor is progress
possible, but of what value is that
progress which makes of man an un-
happy slave, toiling always beneath a
lash more cruel than ever fell across the
back of Lacedamonian helOt or African
bondsman? OF what benefit are tri-
umphs that we cannot pause to enjoyi
Our pace is becoming too rapid. We
are trying to crowd the labor of centu-
ries into decades. st. Louis Globe

You Can Have your Own Central.

The latest device 10 facilitate COM

system Is installed after exactly the
same principle as an exchange covering
wide city area. Each desk 10 be put

the full grown telephone, but is of min
iature size. The receiving or hand in

everywhere nowadays, but is simply

forms of telephone, of which few were

the central Office" is put in a small
closet or inclosure at some convenient
point, and is operated by boy who has
nothing else TO do.
There are a dozen or so connections,
according to the size of the installation
and the needs of the Office. This ex-
change is operated upon precisely the
same principle, though Of course on a
smaller scale and with less complication,
as a central Office in a city exchange.
The ring of any of the connected tele-
phones causes a numbered disk on a
switchboard to fall when the boy makes
the desired connection and releases it
when the talk is finished. In large and
busy establishments, where every de
partment must be connected with every
other for frequent communication, this
telephone exchange system does away
with large number of cumbrous speak
ing tubes and insures a quicker and
more satisfactory service.-New York

Whittier's Picture.

On one occasion when the artist Parker
had been painting portrait of Charles
Sumner, Whittier came to Chestnut
street and said to Mrs. Sargent:
'Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with
me to see Friend Parker's picture of
Charles?'
81 should be very glad to-" she an
swered
"Wilt thee go this morning?" he asked,
and upon her asserting they set off for
the studio. When they arrived they ex-
amined the portrait of Sumner, but
Whittier seemed to Mrs. Sargent to be
preoccupied and to be in haste to call
her attention to something else In a
moment he said:
Friend Parker, where is the other?''
The artist turned around an easel, and
there was portrait of Whittier himself.
The poet was as pleased as boy at Mrs,
Sargent's surprise, and as she had not
even known of his sitting she was natu-
rally not little astonished. He was like
a genial comrade in his fun, and, al
though he was naturally grave and Sc
date, there was in him most beautiful
and genial humor and sweetness, like the
color and perfume of the mayfiower

For Cancer and skin Poisoning.

Cancerous growths are the most diff
cult skin diseases to control. The knife
is generally the only thing that will
answer satisfactorily, but the drug called
pyoktanin has been used with consider
able success. AS a local dressing on
painful cancers that could not be re-
moved by an operation it gives consid-
cradle relief, and in many instances has
decreased the size of the growth. For
poisonings of the skin various drugs are
used, but for ivy poison there is none
better than permanganate of potassium,
which makes an excellent wash for the
poisoned skin. In Russia it has been
found of great value in frost bites, re-
lieving the itching and burning sensa-
ton at once For slight burns of the
skin it is also of great use, but severe
burns are not to be treated by it.-Yan-

The Father of Pharaoh's Daughter,

Who was the father of pharaoh's
daughter? What was his name? The
word pharaoh was simply a title, and
the phrase ''pharaoh's daughter" gives
no more information than 1.-The kings
daughter" or 1.-THE lords daughter. :"
Three pharaohs of the name of Thot-
mes, three of the name of Amenhotep
and two of the name of Rameses have
had their names advocated to be the
father of the princess who rescued the
infant Moses. There is a controversy
going on about it-a controversy revived
by the Rev. Professor Heckler at the
congress of Orientalists in London.

This Was a Dog. Mind You.

The Chicago Journal.
\ Chicago dog has been distinguish
ing himself recently. He is member
of the canine ariStocracy that sleep OF
cushions in warm rooms, have baths il
porcelain tubs twice a week, and live
principally on tenderloin steaks. This
particular dog is of the spaniel family
and has long since acquired a reputation
as perfect gentleman.
For several days past the servant un-
der whose immediate care this dog is
placed has noticed that he seemed un-
willing to eat his breakfast in the house,
Every morning ne took his portion of
meat between his jaws, walked to the
door. wagged his tail. and looked ap.
pealingly into the servants eyes. If the
door was opened in response to this
mute request he disappeared immediate
ly and was not seen again until lunch
con. If the door was not opened he
placed the meat on the floor close by
and sat guard over it until an opportu-
nifty for escape arrived.
The dogs mistress learned of his IN
accountable conduct. She was very
much interested, and engaged dedect-
i've to shadow the dog and report upon
his proceedings and conduct. The de-
tective was her brother, so his services
were gratuitous. A few mornings since
he stationed himself outside the kitch-
en-, and when the dog appeared was
careful not to attrrct his attention. But
the dog saw him, and immediatefNpHt
on an air of dilettante indifference, as
though had an idea of taking cOnsti-
tutional, but wasn't quite sure whether
he felt well enough. So the detective
pretended to be busy looking for four
leaved clovers. The dog was trifle
suspicious at first, but the detective was
good actor, and managed to deceive
him completely; and presently the dog
lounged away toward the gate, and
then. when he thought the detective
wasn't looking, sneaked out. Down the
alley he trotted, fat beefSteak in his
mouth, and presently turned into va
cant shed in the next block.
When the detective arrived he found
the dog sitting quietly in the corner of
the shed. He seemed rather surprised
and a good deal mortified, but was ex-
tremely cordial. In another corner of
the shed the last piece of steak was rap
idly going down the throat of another
dog. This dog wasn't handsome. In
fact, he was aboat the homeliest, dirtiest,
most unkempt and generally used-up
dog the detective had ever seen. There
was an ugly sore on his side and his ribs
were unduly prominent. But he was a
dog, if he wasn't beautiful, and the 9TH
er dogs charity was clearly his only
support.
And this, good people, was dog. Not
man, blessed with reason and educated
In the principles of Christianity, but a
plain, brute, dog. Yet how many men,
placed in a SIMILAR situation, would act
the good Samaritan as he did.

Mr.. ]. P. BLAZE, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar
rowly escaped one of the severest attacks
of Pneumonia while in the northern part
of the State during a recent blizzard,
says the Saturday ReUieoo. Mr.. Blaize
had occasion to drive several miles dur
ing the storm and was so thoroughly
chilled that he was unable tn get warm,
and inside of an hour after his return
he was threatened with severe case of
Pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
of which he had often heard, and took a
number of large doses. He says the
effect was wonderful and in short time
he was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able to come to Des Moines.

firmly; and the majority being two to
one at bedtime the pouitice was
ready.
If the poultice was ready the boy
was not and he proved so refractory
that a switch had to be brought into
requisition. 1t Was arranged thai the
grandmother should apply the poul-
tice while the mother was to stand
with the uplifted switch at the bedside.
The boy was told that if he opened
his mouth" he would receive that
which would keep him quiet. As the
hot poultice touched the boys foot he
opened his mouth.
You" he began.
Keep still. p" said his mother shak-
ing her stick. while the grandmother
busily applied the pcultice.
Once more the little fellow opened
his mouth.

But the uplifted switch awed him

In minute more the poultice was
firmly in place and the boy was tucked
