THE ICE CREAM CURE.
Snatched From the Brink of the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.

Snatched From the Brink of the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.
A man who is run down in health or
who fines disease fastening itself upon
his vitals usually tries to save himself by
some form of exercise that yields no
profit. Hunting, fishing, boating, box
ing, lawn tennis, horseback riding and
swinging the dumbbells are frequently
tried in vain endeavor to regain the fast
decreasing strength.
Jim Tobin, one of our most industri-
Gus farmers, was confined to the house
for some weeks last summer afflicted
with q stomach trouble that almost baf-
fled medical skill. 1t was found that no
food except ice cream could be retained
long enough to be digested. He confined
himself to that diet and was soon able to
take some exercise. But he engaged in
none of the unremunerative fashionable
fads mentioned above He preferred
something financially profitable as well
as physically beneficial and used his
muscles in performing the lighter forms
of farm work. For several weeks he
continued this sensible course, combining
himself strictly to an ice cream diet. He
soon found that his former strength and
vigor had returned, and he was able to do
as much as eyer-an amount more than is
accomplished by the average man.
At the Tobin home gallon of rich ice
cream is frozen regularly as morning
comes. This work is part of the regular
routine of breakfast getting. The amount
mentioned is sufficient for the day. Mr..
Tobin never eats less than q quart of the
dainty food at a meal and frequently re-
quires more than that amount, although
seldom indulging in so much as half
gallon. He digests it readily and enjoys
it. He could probably take other kinds
of food now, but has suffered so much
from indigestion that he thinks it best
to leave well enough alone.
Since the 18th of last July he has eaten
nothing but ice cream. On that date he
weighed 40 pounds and was hardly able
to walk. Now he tips the beam at 210
and works early and late This gain of
20 pounds of flesh and the complete res
toration of his strength ON a diet of fro
zen cream, eggs and sugar is something
remarkable, but it is the simple truth as
we got it from Mr.. Tobin's own lips.
Those who see him-the perfect repre-
sentative of a man in rugged health, with
sinewy build and almost tireless strength
would hardly suspect the modesty of
his meals and hardly credit the story
when it is told them.
Of course there is much monotony in
his meals, but he contents himself with
his dish of cold comfort, and for dessert
shifts the aroma and odor of the victuals
on the table. He is satisfied with health
and strength and says the medicine is
not bad to take.-Lagoda Leader

Why We Are Slack In Speecb.

We do not demand careful speech of
our children because we do not know it
ourselves. We rebuke them dozen
times for some breach of etiquette with
teaspoon or a dish, but we do not think
to say, ''Stop-decidef first what you want
to say, and then say it clearly and brief
ly." We do not think Of it because we
80 not do it ourselves, and not doing it
we do not notice it in others.
But when we are sick talking tires us,
and when we are not sick, but suffering
from nervous exhaustion, this driveling
speech becomes indeed burden. The
tired brain droops under the food of su-
perfuous words, climbs YEARLY over the
gaps of words omitted and stumbling
blocks of words misplaced, allows for
known peculiarities, illunines by past
Experience, winnows the words and picks

tally irrelevant statement, some mere
overflow of a low banked brain, that

A Priestly Hero.

Father William P. Treacy, who has
made such a sturdy fight for his church
at Swedesboro, N. j., has won the SYM
pathy and admiration of many who even
believe him wrong, and his ifes history
shows that he is hero. Three times he
has risked his life for others. His first
heroic act was to rescue a colored boy
from death in the Chesapeake bay dur
ing a terrible storm when even the
trained life guards finched. In 1878 the
priest jumped into the Bronx near
Fordham college and saved the life of
James Murphy. When the village of
Aeganhoven in Belgium was destroyed
by fire, Father Treacy directed the work
of the rescuers from the roofs of the
burning buildings and left them only
after every man, woman and child had
been accounted or.-Philadelphia Rec

The Collegiate Life of Tennyson.

Little is known respecting the col
legiate life Of Lord Tennyson, though
occasional references to it crop out from
time to time in the correspondence OF
his fellow students. To what extent he
was student in the learned tongues is
not clear in his early verse, or not so
clear as that he was student of English
poetry. Nor was he alone in this study,
and the practice which accompanied it,
for, besides his friend Hallam, his brother
Charles was bent, like himself, on win
ming the laurel. The two brothers pub
ished two more collections of verse in
1880, not together, as in the Louth VEN
ture three years before, but separately.
Charles Tennyson's volume, which
was the smaller of the two, consisted
mostly of sonnets, or rather of carelessly
constructed quartorzains, which so many
English poets will insist upon writing
and calling sonnets, while the volume
of Alfred, though it contained seven of
these unshapely compositions, had a
wider scope and range, as was indicated
by its title, ''Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" It
was followed by a second collection two
years later. The reception that these
volumes met with is worthy of chap
ter in the ''Curiosities of English Crit
cism," should such work ever be writ
ten. 1t was as singular and unreason-
able as the reception of Wordsworth's
Lyrical Ballads" Byron's 'sHours of
Idleness," Shelley's "Laon and Cythna"
or Keats ''Endymion." = Harper's

To Elect a President I'm February.

I propose that the national election
day, instead of being set for the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, be set for the 22d of February.
If we adopt George Washingtons in
auguration day for our national revolu-
ton, why shall we not adopt his birth
day as the date for it's all important pre-
hminary? If the persons who SAVIOR set
ting inauguration day for the LIST of Jan
uary really desire thus to reduce the in
terval between election and Inauguration
to two months, my plan would effect
substantially the same purpose.
It would provide an election day dur
ing just as much of an ''off season" as
the present one. Farmers and others
who find early November the most con-
venient time to go to their polling places
would be just as little bound down by
work at the latter end of February as at
the beginning of November, and the
weather and the roads would certainly
be in no worse condition.-V. T. Raun

American Difference to Things English


Mr.. La Fargo, than whom there is no
higher authority, has pointed out that
the reason why there was originally no
provision for painted glass in the pro-
posed art exhibition at Chicago was
that there had been no provision for it
in European exhibitions, and that the
reason for that omission was because
it is an art not now actively cultivated
in Europe. But it is an art actively and
successfully cultivated in this country,
and this fact, which should have insured
the prominence of this department in
the exposition, came very near causing
it's entire omission from the programme.
In politics and in mechanical inven-
ton we have attained to what may
be called national maturity; we have
not merely achievements, but we have
an independent basis of achievement;
indeed sometimes the basis is of more
value than the achievement, as our ma
tional constitution is better than most Of
the laws that are made under it. In
oratory, too, we have certain self con-
fidence, but in other arts we have abso-
lutely been sliding back as to self con-
fdence since Emerson's death until we
really speak with more Difference Of the
London of Lang and Haggard and Oscar
Wilde than men showed twenty years
ago in speaking of the London of OAR
win, Carlyle and Browning.
All the vast expenditure of the Chi
cago exposition will be trivial invest
ment if it can only initiate period
when we shall be little less colonial,
and shall at least put our own estimate
on our own birds, our own books and
our own men.-T. w. Higginson in Har-
per's Bazaar.
