An Iiiitsrats Political Asplrsnt IL Msds
the Butt Of Cruel Joke.
NJ. Robinet, the illiterate candidate
for parliament, who went round Paris
blowing a hunting horn In order to call
attention to his electoral programme,
was nearly stoned to death In the Troca-
dero district, owing to the hoax Of which
he was made q victim by facetious
printer. The candidate, having resolved
TO 20 about as sandwich man." OBJ
tanned two boards and commissioned a
printer to ornament them with an elab-
crate political address In the largest type.
The compositor, taking advantage OF
N. Robinet's inability to read or write,
drew up the address, COUGHING 1t In the
most supplementary language ut his
command. It was, In fact, composed OF
an issue Of the vilest insults to the local
electors, while the candidate himself
was not spared BY the irrepressible
hoaxer. Hardly had n. Robinet APP
peared In public between his boards
than he was followed by Q crowd OF
people who threatened to lynch him.
Some threw stones at the man. but he
found few sympathizers who evident
ly saw through the joke and defended
him.
A free fight ragged for . few moments
around tho candidate, his friends and
his foes theoretically plying their fists
and sticks, while Robinet looked on In
tensely amazed at the tumult. He was
finally extricated from his perilous posi-.
ton by the police.-London Telegraph.

aDo YOU know the dOleful personr'
asks the Omaha world-IIerali. She 10
always a good neighbor 10 health, and
tries 10 be nelghbOrly In sickness, hut
she makes n miserable failure ut the
latter. Don't you remember the last
time the baby was sicky After you had
watched bv the little ones bed day
after day and night after night, seen the
roses fade from the loved ones cheek
and the little form waste away, just ut
the time when you had about given up all
hope, the doleful neighbor came 10, and
don't yoy remember how she tried to
cheer you up with one-slded CONVERSE
ton like this:
WYhy, Mrs. b, how much worse
the baby looks this morning! She
looks lust like Sarah Jones' baby did the
night before 1t died.
aGraclous! never saw child SO
wasted away as Sarah's was, except
yours. We Just done everything for the
child, but II wasn't no use.
al never will forget how Sarah took
on at the funeral"
And the doleful nelghbor suddenly re-
members that she has to run back home
to "set SPONGE" and when che goes
you hope she will never return. You
look again at the suffering babe aud lis
ten to Its rapid breathing, feeling that
your heart must surely break.
But suddenly there is knock at the
door, and In comes the-well, the sun
beam neighbor is as good n name as
any. She was over the evening before,
and quietly and unobtrusively helped to
do so many needful things, and when
she left she dropped q word OF cheer.
And when she comes this time, she says
something like this:
"why, how much better the baby
looks this morning."
And don't you remember what a
bright CLEAN of hope crossed your
mind?
al never saw child improve so much
In so short time. | am sure the baby
will soon be WELL"
And then the sunbeam neighbor rear
ranges the bed, adjusts the blinds, tells
you she will call again In few hours
and hurries home.
Honest, now, didn't she leave conf
dent feeling behind herr You felt bet
ter and more hopeful. Baby, even,
seemed to rally under her words; and
when at last the little one was playing
around your knee again, didn't you
think Of the words OF the sunbeam
nelghbOr?
The doleiul nelghbor has frightened
more mothers to death, buried more
babies aud caused more tears than oil
Il the Dlagues combined.

ATTENTION NEEDED.

Unhygienic habits report themselves
unmistskably In the skin, both In color
and odor. TO have health and beauty
II Il essential that one should use pure
water (rain-water Is best) frequently
and freely, and follow Its use with
brisk friction all over the body With q
piece Of coarse flannel, which isa won
derful aid to soft and glowing skin. a.
It stimulates healthful circulation. Sun
and air baths are necessary to the
proper nutritive functions OF the skin,
and daily attention to the pr0mptlngs OF
nature Is Imperative to save II from be
coming vehicle for offensive exhala-
tiou. Care will do much to put OF the
evil day Of wrinkles and decay.
Plenty Of sleep IL essential to one who
would preserve her beauty to old age
The sIeepiug-room should always be
well ventilated, and no article OF cloth
Ing should ever be worn at night which
has been worn during the daytime.
Sleep Il natures restorative for weary
nerves and broken-down tissues. Chill.
dren should always retire early, and
be permitted tn sleep until they awake
naturally and entirely refreshed. II ID
positively cruel to force child out OF
bed when Il begs for few minutes long
er to sleep. Bodily growth may be
greatly retarded by failure to get the
requisite sleep during the growing
years.
when troubled with insomnia, one
can often entirely correct the trouble by
getting up 40 soon 40 the wakefulness
comes on, and thoroughly airing the
bed-clothlng. Then, standing at an
open window, practice breathing for .
half hour by inhallng through the nosa
al the air that the lungs will hold ut
each respiration, and exhailng slowly
through the mouth.
