A Quick Recovery.

The doctor of hospital ship COM
plained to a visitorof q lazy colored man
whom he could do nothing with. eve
don't like to throw the rascal out, but il
Is easily seen he is only shamming."
well DOCTOR said the visitor, after
a little reflection, "lend me few yards
of string and that niger win be miles
away before night"
He got the twine, and putting on a
melancholy air he went to the darky's
berth,
ssVery badg' he said.
.Yes, massa, replied Sambo. "Dreb

The visitor made no further remark,
but placed one end of the twine at his
head and drew it slowly-very slowly
until it reached his toes. Then he meas
ured him across the chest. The fellow
looked the picture Of astonishment and
terror and gasped:
.sWhat dis for.
my poor fellow, the doctor knows you
are not going to recover, and it is only
an expense keeping You here without any
chance Of doing you good. | have just
been taking your measure'-here he low

WAS no trace of him in the morning. =

Queer how these things work. PRO
tection' was declared by the Democrat
ic demagogues to be robbery" and
enough workingmen were found to eff
feet a change In the industrial policy of
the country, when reinforced by GER
tain unholy influences. Now the infor-
nation comes from Paterson. N. j.,
that q strike of the employees Of the
Barbour Flax Spinning Company has
Just been averted by the promise Of
Senator James Smith, Jr., that If the
Barbours would promise the men rea-
sonable wages, the interests of the flax
industry would be looked after in the
United States senate, Thereupon the
employers agreed to restore the 10 per
cent reduction of wages, and the men
agreed to return to work Senator
Smith, II is stated, took up the matter
without solicitation from either side. SO
It appears that the flax spinners are
willing to be "robbed" in this way a
little longer. The workingmen seem to
be getting their eyes open.

DISTRESS UN-AMERIcAN.


Ex-President Harrison, always felici-
tous In expression. never more aptly
put in words the sentiments of the peo-
pie than he did in his assertion before
the Union League club, of San Fran
cisco, that "the present distress is un-
American, and the authors of 1t should
be repudiated by the people" The ex.
president justly spurns the notion that
the prevailing depression and suffering
are the result of chance He fixes the
responsibility for existing conditions
Just as the people who have expressed
themselves at the ballot box all ovel
the north have fixed it-upon the Demo
cratic party now threatening to destroy
all that makes general distress impos-
sible. Distress is un-American," but ii
Is an un-American party that domin.
ates the country. Happily. its tenure

PERFECT PHYSICAL REposE.


A Firm Hair Mattress Rather Than a
Feather Bed Promotes II.
There is an old story of an Indian and
a "paleface," who, after a long days
journey, lay down in deserted cabin at
nightfall to rest. The Indian, wrapping
himself in his blanket, stretched himself
on the floor of the cabin with his feet to
the fire and was soon asleep. His com
panion meantime has espied feather
bed in another room, and congratulate
ing himself on his discovery jumped in
and was also soon in a doze.
With the first rays Of the morning
light the Indian rose refreshed and ready
for the days task. He went TO arouse
his comrado. when, lol he found him
dead from the exhaustion Of the previous
day.
Luxurious repose is never true phys
ical rest.
To enjoy that blessing to it's fullest ex-
tent freedom from restraint must be al
lowed every part Of the body. A firm
surface is required--one that will tend
to keep the body stretched out at full
length, that the lungs and heart may
feel no sense of restriction by compress
sion of the chest walls, and that the
blood may have uninterrupted course in
every direction.
We should never be guilty of suppos-
ing that the person whom we saw sit
ting in chair with his chin pressing on
his sunken chest was enjoying true phys
ical rest, no matter how fast asleep he
might appear to be.
The tendency Of the body to gravitate
toward tho lowest part OF a feather bed
is beyond remedy.
In this position the whole body is Of
ten so curled mp that no one part is free
from construction The chest walls are
caved in, and the whole body suffers
from the consequent lack of proper oxy-
genation Of the blood and the restriction
which is placed upon its general circula-
ton. The blood moves sluggishly, and
as result the condition of "fat and
habby" is superinduced.
This condition is never likely to follow
the constant use Of firm hair mattress,
for the blood has no chance to get drop
sical from too sluggish circulation.
Perfect physical repose, like perfect
physical activity, is dependent upon a
proper equilibrium of the bodily func-
tions during slumber
The story Of the Indian and the white
man might easily have been founded on
fact.-Youths Companion.

tain effects OF the bill, IL It becomes a
law, will be to put into active business
employment s1OO,OOOOO of money bor-
rowed from our own people Without risk
to the government. and to furnish en-
ployment to $4,000 Americans who are
now marching on the highways begging
for work, and often for food. It would
yield to the United States at the rate OF
81 per ton for canal charges not less
than s4,OOO,OOO per annum in dividends
on its $7O,OOO,O 600 OF stock in the canal
Besides these advantages a movement
Of this kind would stir American indus
tries into activity and release hundreds
Of millions Of dollars that are now
locked up or employed in various kinds
Of risky speculation. There is no indus
try in the United States that would not
feel the impetus, no class of labor that
would not be benefited. 1t is the one
thing needed to set the wheels Of manu-
factures and commerce revolving, to re-
store confidence in the future Of the
country and to bring things back to
their normal condition. The passage Of
the Nicaragua canal bill, and Repub-
lican victory at the congressional cleo
tions In November, will make the United
States again the happiest and best
contented country in the world.

How TO Know a Caxton.

Title pages were unknown till after
1491. There must be no Roman or Italic
lettering, but all in Gothic or old Eng
lish. There must be no commas, but an
oblique stroke in their place. Further,
there must be no catchwords at the
bottom Of the page. The use Of these,
long gone out Of fashion, did not come
into vogue till years after Caxton's death.
There are other tests necessary, such
as the measurement of the lines, for
some of the type used was initiated pret-
ty closely by Caxton's successors. 1t is
clear, however, that during his career
Caxton only used six kinds of type. The
first, distinctly foreign in its character,
was used by him at Bruges in the print
ing of "The Recuyell of the Histories of
Troyer and in the first edition of "The
Game and Playe of the Chesse." This
style was never used in England. The
second style, such as in "The Moral
Proverbs" and "Tulle of Olde Age"
printed in 1477 and 1881 respectively,
was beautiful and artistic. 1t follows
design Of manuscript which obtained the
name Of Gros Batarde, common in use
in the fifteenth century. Several books
were written in this manner under the
order of Edward Nv and are now to be
seen in the British museum.
Looking at the dates when Caxton's
books were issued and the types he used,
it is evident he did not make new type
till the old was worn out. A pretentious
style came next in 1883, very bold in its
character. tt is problematical whether
there is book in this typo; the only ex-
amples We have Of it at present are in
Chambers Journal.

Using doctors that one out OF hundred
performs the cures and gives the relief he
advertises to, and among those few who
cure, DIR. Darrin stands in the lead. His
testimonials alone are sufficient to bear
witness to the foregoing assertion, and it
is doubtful whether among the thousands
of advertising doctors in the country
there is single one who has met with
such eminent success. The opportunity
to consult him while here should not be
