EXPREsipENT HAYES died recently at
his home in Ohio. He attained the
presidency under circumstances of I'M
usual agitation, caused by the doubtful
result of the election of 1876 and the
peculiar method of settling it. He per-
formed the duties of his Office with hon
esty of purpose, unmarked by great
strength of character or great manifes-
talions of genius. lie was thoroughly
conscientious in all things. His private
life was blameless. and his public rec
ord was untainted. lie will be classed
in history among the presidents who
have reinforced moderate talents with
strict personal and official integrity.

VIRGINIA, the Carolinas, Georgia. Ten

excluded from those states by the

of the states OF the people moving about

THE winter of 1S92-9S bids fair to be
long remembered for its severity. The
Ohio river, for example, is frozen from
Louisville to its head waters, and its
tributaries are all in tue same condi-
ton. People who have asserted that
our climate has changed and that hard
winters belong to the past are not hav-
ing much to say on the subject just
now. Probably, however, they think
great deal, and wish that they had
not been quite SO positive in their as.

Salad Eaters and Cholera.

According to M. Haschimodo, acetic acid and the comma baciI- Jus do not live together in amity and concord. After maximum SO iourn of fifteen minutes in yine- gar, containing from P to g per cent. of acetic acid, the bacillus is sail to perish. Vinegar of this strength, saturated with pure cul- lures of the cholera bacillus, can, after an interval of fifteen minutes, be inoculated without danger into animals or be eaten with impunity by human beings. This statement is based on numerous experiments. Salad eaters may, then, on the con dition of employing large propor- ton of vinegar in the preparation of the dressing, consume their favorite dish without fear of absorbing the dreaded bacillus.

The Drug Clerks Fun.

Drug clerks often derive amuse-
ment from the prescriptions that are,
left with them. A prescription which
called for certain tablets, and which.
was written by a Chicago physician,
was put up in a downtown phar-
macy the other day. The directions
were as follows: "One tablet every
two hours for five days, skip four
days and commence again." The
pharmacist smiled when he wrote
the label, and professional etiquette
alone prevented him from asking the
customer, who weighed about $50
pounds, If he thought he would sur
vive after SO much skipping. An
other prescription caused the patient
himself to laugh when he read the
doctors directions, which were:
take fifteen drops one hour after
eating in a little water"
Il don't eat in water" said the
man, although I did chew an apple
once when / was bathing at Long
Branch"
Strangely spelt communications
are often brought to the druggist. A
woman handed a slip to. clerk re-
Gently and said:
Gimme ten cents worth of that"
The clerk read, "Grocer's supple
ment."
Il guess you mean corrosive SUBJ
Innate" he said, "but that is poison,
and we can't sell it to you"
The woman went away, after de-
claring that she wanted it to skill

Contagiousness of Leprosy.

In a paper giving the result of his
careful and prolonged Investigations
of this subject, DR.. Duncan Buckley
declares that it is not proven that
any number of individuals have ever
acquired the disease from direct con-
tact with others affected, or that it
has ever been traced, in any proper
tion of cases worth mentioning, di-
rectly from one person to another.
There is strong reason to suspect, he
says, that it may first be introduced
into the system by the way of food,
fish being the most likely of all sub
stances to furnish and convey the
poison; heredity probably accounts
for a share Of the cases. but the dis
cas- is not necessarily transmitted by
inheritance; incubation with leprous
matter may be the means Of convey
ing the disease when all the condi-
tions are favorable.

A Cure for stammerinp.

A gentleman who stammered from
childhood up to manhood gives a
very simple remedy for his misfor-
tune. He says: $50 into a room
where you will be quiet and alone,
get some book that will interest but
not excite you, and sit down and read
two hours aloud to- yourself, keeping
your teeth together. Do this every
two or three days-or once q week il
very tiresome-always taking care to
read slowly and distinctly, moving
the lips but not the teeth. Then,
when conyersing with others, try to
speak as slowly and distinctly as pos
sible, and make up your mind that
you will not stammer.
1.-THE first result was to make my
jaws ache-that is, while l was read
ing-and the next to make me feel
as If something had loosened my
talking apparatus, for I could speak
with less difficulty Immediately. The
change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. Irepeat-
ed this remedy every five or six days
for a month, and then at longer in
tervals until cured"

A Romantic Weddine.

Dean Swift, was n day overtaken
by a storm in the country. Seeking
shelter beneath a tree, he found there
a party Of young girls. One of the
girls was weeping bitterly, and the
Dean, upon making sympathetic i4,,
qulries al to the cause thereof, learned
that she was on her way to church to
marry a young man who was with!
her. !,
"Never mind, Ill marry YOU" said,
the Dean, and taking out his prayer
book, then and there performed the
ceremony. To make the ceremony
complete, he tore a leaf from his
Locket-book, and with his pencil
wrote and signed a certificate, ana
handed 1t to the bride. The certiA.
was as follows:
under Q tree. in stormy weather,

Let none but Him who rules the Thunder
Eorer this man and woman asuner." T.
