The speaker was one OF the leading pro-
fessors In a New York medical college
and he was addressing an audience OF
ladies and gentlemen who had assembled
to listen to his wisdom.
THE bank failures, the mercantile fail
ures, the scarceness Of money, the dull
ness of business the anxiety connected
with It, all bring a fearful pressure on
men and women all the time. II is no
wonder we hear OF suicides and other
desperate deeds at such times as these.
Men are under q trrible strain. and women
naturally suffer by sympathy.
IAN these things are 10 be expected,
but so far as persons feelings and health
are concerned, they should all be easily
overcome. 1 do not mean by running
away from duty or by resorting 10 slim
ulants will tell you what l mean.
For a number Of years among all the
discoveries and inventions Of science, one
thing has stood pre-eminent and promi-
nent. IL has done more TO relieve meE
when over-burdcned. to make women
happy when Respondent, i'm fact, it has
been a king among discoveries Of modern
times for this purpose. and OF course, IL
has been the most popular. 1 think you
already know what l refer TO. 1t Is that
as Warmers Safe Cure. You have all,
or nearly all OF you, heard Of it and know
how popular II is and what a high stand
ing It bears, but you cannot know so well
as the professional man what a relation
II sustains 20 suffering humanity. / have
known men who are run down, debilitated,
discouraged despairng. They resOrted to
this remedy and were brought 10 health
and hopefulness, their ambition restored,
and their prosperity assured. l have seen
women who were pale. weak, suffering;
women who had family cares and women
who were carrying a burden OF pain and l
have seen these same women restored 20
rosy health and happiness. These are
facts which are known and proven by
thousands OF people, and which can be
easily verified in every community upon
the American comment"
1T is by the constant use OF this great
discovery that men and women may be
enabled 10 go through the trying times
which are now upon us I'm health and
even with hopefulness. Certainly there is
no such standard remedy known 10 the
world to-day as Warmers Safe Cure; GER
tainly there is nothing which takes hold OF
the system so gently, yet so powerfully
and produces these effects which we so
much desire; and certainly II should be
used by all VINO are either run down or

Do Babies Eyes Crow

How big is "a young baby's
eyes?" We have heard it stated
within the last day or two that ~
young baby's eye" is as big as q
grown persons eye; that the eye
does not grow as the body grows;
that it is the same size when the
baby is born as it is after the baby
has grown up to be man or woman,
that it is born full size and is then
as big as it ever gets to be. This
statement has been submitted to a
number of experts on babies, who
generally agree that IA young ba-
by's eye' grows as the body grows,
though not in the same ratio. But
is it true?
Authorities are sometimes in err
ror. Expert witnesses frequently
tangle themselves up in all kinds of
contradictory statements of facts;
expert physicians do not reach the
same conclusions from identically
the same basis of reasoning; expert
cotton-buyers sometimes buy when
the slumps in the market prove that
they should have sold. It may be
that the baby experts whom we have
questioned upon the subject of baby
eyes have spoken without due con-
sideration. We should like to have
the puzzle settled. Do babies eyes
grow? How big is young babies
eye?-Charestown IN. c. Courier.

ALCOHOL FOR THE TOILET.
One Woman's Experience With 9
Good Cure for Many Evils.

Some women say that alcohol is
bad thing for the skin. but those
women have either used it unreas-
onably often or know nothing at all
about it, for there is really no cos
metic that a woman can use with
such good results as alcohol diluted
with the purest rose water. If your
skin is particularly dry, perhaps it
would be as we'll not to use alcohol
more than once in two or three
days, but once a day ought not to
hurt the most delicate skin, and
will make vast improvement In
an oily skin.
Everybody knows that frequent
face washing is bad for the COM
plexion, and if when you begin to
feel sticky as to chin and oily as to
nose, you rub your face with fine
flannel cloth wet with alcohol, after
ward rubbing with a dry flannel or
chamois skin, your face will be suf-
fused with delicate color and quite
free from dirt. If your face seems
rough to the touch, not actually
pimpled, only lacking in velvety
smoothness, little alcohol gently
rubbed in, either with the fingers or
flannel, has wonderful effect. AS
it removes every atomic specimen
of dust, it is a splenid thing for
blackheads, and its daily use, it
persevered in, will eradicate the
ugly blemishes.
An ounce of pure alcohol we'll
rubbed into the head about once
month cleans the scalp of every
particle of dandruff and gives the
hair new life and vigor, keeping it
smooth and glossy, if we'll brushed
after the rubbing.
When you are travelling it is in
valuable. After long, dusty, jour
ney there is nothing more refreshing
than the odor of rose-scented alco-
hol, and application of the satu-
rated flannel to the face will rub
out the tired wrinkles as we'll as
the accumulated dust and perspi'
ration, and leave your face fresh
and spotlessly clean.
After tiresome shopping expe'
dition it is the best thing imagina'
BILE to bring up your color and your
spirits for lunch and the matinee
In fact, it is just one of those never
failing helps that woman always
likes to have at hand, and if once
you learn it's value you will feel that
it is a necessary adjunct to your
toilet-table and hand -bag.-Phila

Squire Arlington.

Abingdon Baird or Squire Abing-
ton," who came to this country from
England as backer of a prize fight
er, and who died Of a cold caught
in New Orleans, was, says the Lon
don Spectator, the last of a family
who have been distinguished for
nearly century by the same quail
tiles. They have all been able so to
command and guide great masses
Of men as to make money in guam
titles out of their labor; they have
all gone their own way exactly as
they pleased; and they have all
been described by their enemies as
"roughs," with half developed con
sciences and sort of intelligence.
1t is related, truly or falsely, of one
of them who gave 100000 to the
ScotchChurch, that he was the cause
of the best and most characteristic
of all Scotch ecclesiastical stories.
He contemplated his mighty bene-
faction long before it was made,
and with true business acuteness
asked an expert as to his chance OF
getting a full return for his money.
''Will it help me" he inquired OF
his minister, "out yon?" Am no
just free to guarantee ye," replied
the ecclesiastic, Scotch as himself
"but it's an experiment weel worth
trying" The race ended in this
man just deceased, who, left at 19
heir to the whole family, with thir-
ty thousand acres in land, and ac-
cumulations worth ten times as
much, devoted himself entirely to
pleasures such as a'rough" enjoys
to keeping racers on a huge scale
to riding himself as gentleman
jockey in every part of the king
dom; and to instigating, rewarding
and associating with professional
prizefighters. He was not a foo
and he did not, it is said, scatter
the principal of his fortune; but
his vast income was spent on some
of the lowest Of men and women
he broke his constitution by sweat
ling himself to ride light; and ht
died at 80 of a chill caught while
holding the sponge at an American
|prizefight.

Insane People Can't Cry.

One of the most curious facts
connected with madness is the ut
ter absence of tears amid the in
sane. Whatever the form of mad
ness, tears are are conspicuous by
their absence, as much in the de-
preston of melancholy or excite
ment Of mania as in the utter
apathy of dementia. If patient
in a lunitic asylum be discovered
in tears it will be found that it is
one beginning to recover, or an
emotional outbreak in an epileptic
who is scarcely truly insane; while
actual insane persons appear to
have lost the power of weeping, it
is only returning reason which can
once more unloose the fountains
of their tears. Even when luna
tic is telling one in fervid language
how she has been deprived of her
children, or the outrages that have
been perpetrated on herself, her
eye is never even moist. The ready
gush of tears which accompanies
the plant of the sane woman con-
trasts strangely with the dry-eyed
appeal of the talkative lunatic. It
would indeed seem that tears give
relief to feelings which, when pent
up, lead to madness. 1t is one Of
the privileges of reason to be able
to weep. Amid all the misery of
the insane they find no relief in
tears.-The Million.
