A Tremendous Shaking Up.

This is what every system afflicted with chills
and fever, bilious remittent, or any other form
of malarial disease, undergoes periodically. Not
only is malaria terrible in itsef-it is the breed
er Of an infnity of bodily ailments. Specifics
used for its prevention and removal prove, in
the vast majority of cases, useless for every other
purpose than to mitigate the disease and stave
off its attacks. They are sure with the average
treatment, to return after while. The sufferer
may change his location to healthier one, but
the complaint, whichsis in his blood, is not thus
lightly got rid of, and returns after the wonted
interval. Organic affections of the nerves,
heart trouble general debility of the system are

"A Kiss and q Fortune.

A report comes from Sydney that a
man named George Winch has just come
into considerable amount of property
in remarkable manner. He has been
following the occupation of a butcher
for some time and it appears he recent
ly took the liberty of kissing one OF his is
in his shop.
She resented the affront, and had
Winch prosecuted for assault. He was
fined heavily by the local magistrate,
and the case attracted much attention
from the press.
The publicity given to the proceed
ings happened to arrest the attention OF
a firm of solicitors in Sydney who had
been appointed trustees of certain prop
erty which had been left to Winch by a
distant relative some nineteen years
ago, and the solicitors were unable to
find any trace of the heir. Winch was
communicated with by the firm, and he
has now furnished the history of his an
tecedents and established his identity

TEE AMERICAN PHYSIQUE.
The Results of an Exhibition Held in a
Boston Studio.

The Results of an Exhibition Held in a
Boston Studio.
A very remarkable exhibition was
that lately held in Boston studio, says
Scribner's Magazine, the result of DR..
Sargent's labors in measuring the bodies
of over 1000 Harvard students. It con-
sisted, besides his measurement charts,
of two nude clay figures, the one repre-
senting the average or composite" of
more than 5000 Harvard men at the
age of q, the other the corresponding
composite Of the same number of girl
students of divers colleges, measured at
the same age.
Reluctant gallantry give place to vera
city, and one admits that the young man
is the finer figure of the two. Standing
squarely, clean-limbed, strong-necked,
he looks rather like a runner than a
rover, but there is nothing sordid, moth
ing warped, nothing to indicate the de-
terioration of a civilization of too many
wheels, the stunning or the abnormal
one-sided development of the factory or
the city life. When we come to the
woman we must-glissons I'm peu. A
prominent artist looked her over from a
professional point of view and refused
to accept the statue as the ultimate
model.
OF course, said her creator, for that
you would in fairness select a figure on
the so or 80 per cent. line, not this, which
meets exactly so per cent. of them all
and is half way from the best to the
worst, or, to put it more precisely, is
only the greatest good of the greatest
number. He then naively explained
her inferiority to the boy on a ground

women students in colleges came from a
class not equal, socially or intellectually,
to that which universally sends it's boys.

An Amusing Sign.

In travelling about England one is
much impressed with the pride of
tradesmen who have had the good for
of the throne, says Harper's Bazaar.
Gaudy signs greet the eve at nearly
every turn upon which one reads that
the tradesmen there engaged in bust
ness is "Cloakmaker by Special APP
pointment to Her Majesty" another is
s'Purveyor of Anchovy Paste to H. r.
H., the Prince of Wales" and SO on.
Among all these it is noticed that
plumbers and gas-ftters are conspicuous
by their absence; but if an English
newspaper tells the truth-and why
should it not in this case ?-there was at
one time in England a sign that was de-
licious in the extreme. 1t read:
By Special Appointment Pawnbroker to His
Majesty.

HANDKERCHIEF MOODEY.
An Eccentric New England Clergyman
of the Last Century.

OF the Last Century.
The Rev. Joseph Moodey, sometimes
called Handkerchief Moodey," pastor
of the Second Church at York, Me-, was
the only son Of the celebrated Samuel
Moodey, pastor of the First Church in
York. He was born in the year 100,
the year of his fathers settlement. At
the age of Is he received the honors of
Harvard College, and for fourteen years
he was very useful and active man in
civil life, being for some years clerk of
York and register of deeds for the
left ample testimonials to his care, in
dustry and correctness. He was also
Judge to the county court when but 80
years ole.
His father was DESTROYS that he should
Of superior talents and was man of
eminent piety. The importantly Of his
father prevailed, and in 1882 Mr..
Moodey resigned his civil offices and
was ordained. His wife, Lucy White,
was the daughter of a clergyman of
Gloucester, Mass, and together they
worked among the people of York for
seven years. On the death of his wife
Mr.. Moodey fell into melancholy
state, from which his friends in vain
sought to arouse him.
Like his father, his faith was remark
ably strong. In 1745 he had been sup
plying his fathers pulpit while he was
absent as chaplain Of the army ofLouis-
burg. A day of fasting and prayer hav-
ing been appointed in York to pray for
the surrender of the enemy, Mr..
Moodey prayed for about two hours.
In the first part of the prayer he be-
sought that the enemy might be given
into the hands of our forces, and then
he turned and offered up thanks to the
God of battles for what He had done for
us. Afterward, by comparing dates of
the events at Louisburg, they were
found to be correct, the surrender oc-
curing at that moment, and this re-
markable prayer became a matter of
history.
He used to cover his face with hand
kerchief when in melancholy mood, but
sometimes would let his friends see his
early life, while out shooting deer, he
had accidentally shot beloved young
companion, and this event came back to
his overweight and sensitive mind in
later days. Mr.. Moodey died suddenly.
He had inherited the family gift of
singing, and during his sad days had
ceased to sing; but the day before he
died he spent alone, and in his room
was heard singing hymns. He did not
leave his chamber that night, and in
the morning was found dead in his bed
He did not always wear the handker-
chief thrown over his head in the latest
years, and he was only So years old
when he died.-Boston Commonwealth.

Water Is Good for Babies.

Well babies and sick babies, young
babies and babies of high and low de-
gree, babies fed on the bottle and babies
fed naturally, may have water to drink
in moderation, if they want it. The
water should be boiled and covered, not
very cold, even warm, if the child pre-
fers it SO. This is the opinion of a sue
cessful medicine man, under whose
treatment have come hundreds of
babies. $50 thoroughly" says this au
thority, "have l become convinced of
the great benefit derived from giving
water to sick babies, that now order it
in nearly every case with fever, and it
is astonishing to see how the restless
ness and many of the symptoms we are
apt to attribute to the pain and fever
disappear when it is freely given.
"By freely, l mean from one-half to
two ounces Immediately after or be-
tween the feelings. If given immedi-
ately after the feeding, a small quantity
will of course be required. Time and

A VEGETABLE BONANZA.
A Root That Is Often Quoted as Being
the Most Valuable.

the Most Valuable.
High prices are often paid at certain
times for drugs such as quinine, cocaine
and others, but drug is used in North
China which in actual value far sur
passes anything which has been known
here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng, and is the root of Aralla quin-
quefolia. It is 50 highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that it is sold from twenty to $50 times
it's weight in silver, sometimes for 500
times that amount. Pearson's Monthly
states, however, that it possesses no i'm
portant medicinal properties. Next to
quality in Corea, and is the principal ar
ticle of export from Corea into China.
So much is this the case that the Cor
cans are 10th to part with any seeds of
the plant lest their practical monopoly
in this root should be invaded
The wonder is that with such a much
used commodity at such a price steps
are not taken to cultivate it in sufficient
quantity so as to adjust the balance be-
tween supply and demand. The reduc-
ton, for example, in the price of quin-
inc was largely the result of increased
cultivation of the cinchona plant, and
the same may be said of cocaine in re-
spect to the cocoa plant.
Perhaps, however, the foreign substi-
tutes Of the real product, ginseng,
which reach the Chinese markets from
North America and elsewhere, interfere
with the native production. But with
silver in one scale and portions of the
highly esteemed root in the other, ii
seems reasonable to conclude that the
cultivation of the Aralia quinquefolia in
North China would be remunerative,
whatever the cost and trouble.

The zephyrs and the Whiskers.

Surely, there's nothing new under
the sun, if the latest claim for the an
tiouity of well-known modern phrase
is Just. Everyone thought that the
saving, "The wind blew through his
whiskers," was an expression of purely
Nineteenth Century origin, as breezi-
ness is characteristic of the times. But
here comes dusty, musty bookworm
and tells the Montgomery Transcript
that it is simply a plagiarism from
Chaucer, who, in 'The Shipman,' re-
marks, with many a tempest had his
beard been shaken" AT any rate the
modern phrase has the merit of being
less ponderous than Goodmans Chau-
cer's.-TrOH Times
