Laughing as a Medicine.

Persons suffering from rheumatism
are naturally anxious to try every pro-
posed remedy. John Raymond, OF north
ern Iowa, had tried without relief nearly
every alleged cure suggested by friends.
Then he read this in . medical journal:
"There is more benefit in q good laugh
than in the hot water remedies, the faith
cures. the electric, and all other new
treatments in the world, and 1t costs
nothing. II you know Of nothing else to
laugh at, laugh ct your Rsighbor.
This was Q new idea 10 poor Mr.. Ray
mond But what shoald be laugh stf
In the house was nothing amusing
However, the medical jonrnAl said,
Laugh at your neighbor.
He went out on the front porch, and
sitting in chair, watched the people on
the streets. For time ne sew nothing
funny. Then o big German walked by
muttering aloud to himself.
.Ha. ha, HAP went Mr.. Raymond.
The big German stopped and looked
"Vot's dot?"
"Ha, ha, ha"
"Vot vor you haw, haw, haw, nit me?
"Ha, ha, ha"
Over the fence leapod the big German
his fists uplifted.
"Ohr cried Raymond, 81 meant
no harm. was laughing for nay
health"
"Und den you leetls sick Yankees
laugh nit big Dutchmen! Dot ish al
right. Dot ish Won goot shoke. on me
va, va, var
But Mr.. Raymond, who really had moi
meant to be rude in the least, gave NJ
the laugh cure, believing that the
,.sboke' was on himself rather than OF
the good German. Youth's Companion

more than one certificate, or paper pur-
porting 10 he such, is received from apv
one state, all Of them will be handed TO

which is authenticated by the signatures

may appear from the copy Of the certiti-
cate transmitted by the secretary OF state

The certificates from all the states hay

report the result to Vice President Nor
ton, who will read their report, embrac-
ing the number of electoral votes to
which each state is entitled, the respect
i've electoral votes cast for president and
Vice-president, together with the total
of votes received by the candidates of
each party. Then, in conclusion, he
Will deduce from those figures the an
nouncement that Grover Cleveland, of
New York, is elected president of the
United Sta,es and that Adlai Stevenson,
of Illinois, is elected vice president of
the United States, each for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1898, and will state that
this announcement is by law sufficient
declaration of that fact, which with the
list Of votes shall be entered on the jour
nails Of the senate and house. The peo-
pie knew it before midnight on Novem-
Der 9Th last, but the fact will not be a
legal and constitutional certainty until
this declaration is made, nor can the in
auguration take place without it.

An officer told him one day that twelve
of the Georgians had been converted.

Christianity" he asked.

Wages and the Cost of Lieing 100 Years
Ago.

Wages and the Cost of Lieing 100 Years
Ago.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The department. OF agriculture is about
TO publish an interesting report compar-
ing the cost of living early in this centu-
ry with what it is now. 1t exhibits WV
idly between the contrast of the poverty
of primitive agriculture and the progress
in civilization and wealth resulting from
high development of all the possibilities
of land ana labor in rural and industrial
art and industries. The small wages
paid in those days are as surprising as
the low prices OF commodities of all
sorts.
Game was abundautly early in the
century, and therefore cheap. Venison
cost only 81 cents per pound Bear
meat was very slightly higher. Pigeons
were in extraordinary abundance, sell
ing at little more than a cent apiece.
Elderly readers will remember the flights
of tiocks of pigeons which darkened the
skies even as late as fifty years ago. Shad
were very cheap, costing only cents
each. Milk sold for cents quart and
butter for ID cents a pound. Apples
sold at from 121 to rs cents a bushel.
Farm wages were only about one third
of what they are now One hundred
years ago the use of a pair of oxen for a
day cost % cents, while the use of a cow
for one year cost So. 1t cost 60 cents to
make pair of shoes. Board was only
81 week.
That was the day of individual and is.
plated effort, antedating the era of ag-
gregation in factories, classifoati and
diversion of labor and invention of labor
saving processes and appliances.
Every locality, In its Industries and
products, existed for and by itself, hav-
ing no relation with other communities;
therefore the surplus production of each
farm was small, he inducement to pro-
duce being wanting, and there was very
little money to purchase anything more
than the bare necessaries of life. The
family had an abundance of
everything it could grow, such clothing
as the loom of the household could prtE
duce, such furniture as could be made on |
the place or in the neighborhood, and |
little else.
