They Are Happening All
Around Us.
They Increase in Number and
Grow More Wonderful.
Where Will it all End and What Will
be the Final Result?

Strange and wonderful things are hap
pening constantly. We are becoming ac
customed to them. But there is one sub
ject which rises far above the rest and
which never tails to intensely interest
everybody. 1t concerns you. reader, for
it means for your health and strength.
Scarcely anyone In these busy, hard
working times is in perfect health. There
is weak spot somewhere, pain, numb
ness, failure of some organ to do its work
properly, some vague symptom which is
sign of danger and is telling you in the
plainest language to look to your health.
Read the following letter and see what Mrs
J. NJ. Earl, of North Calais, Vt, has to say
about the matter:

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The manager of one
Of the most widely read and profitable of
American periodicals was asked recently by
n writer of considerable repute what the
most popular form of literature, at least
for magazines, is at the present time, &C
cording to his experience, and the reply
came quickly, "Unquestionably, outside OF
fiction, it is interesting, picturesque and
anecdotal descriptions Of men or women
who are now or who have been within the
present century prominently in the public
eye" 1t was supposed, for instance, that
years ago all of interest about Napoleon
Bonaparte had been written and published,
and that at the present time those who cared
to know anything of that marvellous man
would seek the authentic histories of his
life for such information.
But short sketch containing some COM
paratively trivial anecdotes was published
recently in France, and to the surprise of
the editor of the magazine he found that
the publication revealed that intense inter
est still existed, and catering to that inter-
eSb UUeFe CAME Il WASH VI
respecting Bonaparte which the public re-
ceived with avidity, and which led to such
popular interest as justified the production
of a drama in which Bonaparte was the
central figure.
In this country one Of the magazine ed
itors, procuring some interesting papers up
on Napoleon, published them, although he
was criticised somewhat for thus bringing
forward person of whom it was supposed
the public was tired of hearing. But the
fact was, these anecdOtal essays were one
of the conspicuous successes of the season.
Mr.. Henry l.. Dawes, for more than 80
years in active public life and three times
elected to the United States senate, has in
his retirement been occupied with the COM
position of certain sketches illustrating in
a chatty and reminiscent way men who
were prominently before the public during
Mr.. Dawes career Some of these papers
have already been published, one furnish
ing some revelation of that most dramatic
political incident, the rupture between Pres
ident Garfield and Senator Conkling, and
the other, setting forth by comparison the
characters of Lincoln and his great war sec
rotary, Stanton, having occasiOned such
widespread comment as indicated the popu-
lar interest not only in the men described by
Mr.. Dawes, but in this form of literature.
Another man of long experience as a
statesman and of considerable service in
the senate has recently described Daniel
Webster as an orator, making especial ref

And tiny valise.

But not the ValiSe.

And thought that the woman must travel in

1t is a great mistake for people who
can at all afford to spend literally to
practice economy in hard times. On
one occasion during the second empire,
when there was a great financial de-
preston, Louis Napoleon comm anded
his ministers to open their houses and
entertain profusely, and the court cir
cles, taking the hint. began such a
round of gayety that trade revived,
while the manufacturers, plucking up
courage, opened their mills, and crisis
was averted. Spending is as much
duty with the rich as saving is with the
poor, and it takes both attributes to
make prosperous commnnity.-Ne

THE JESTER.
WOOing by Proxy.

John Henry loved sweet Mary Ann,
But he was a bashful swain,
And the love he felt, but could not tell,
Filled all his heart with pain.
He gaZed at her, he sighed for her
Through all the livelong day.
He was quite ready to die for her,
But he hadn't the courage to try for her
In the old time honored way,
And the other SWANS had nimble tongues
And she was a coquette gay.
He asked his father to tell the tale
OF his love to Mary Ann.
''Be sure you put it strong and sweet"
He said to the kind old man.
And the father tried to win the bride
For his backward, bashful son,
And he gave the girl a fathers kiss,
And still another and found it bliss,
And the courtship was begun,
And Mary Ann became Johns mother.
And the courtship then was done.

IT has been apparent ever since this
congress got down to business that there
was a weak spot in the rules of the house,
but it was not until the long contest for
quorum to vote on the Bland bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage. the end of
which is not in sight yet, showed the help
lessness of the house in the absence of
voting quorum that members became fully
aroused to the necessity of q change. But
they are now, and nearly $50 democratic
members have signed a call for caucus
tc be held rs soon as the Bland bill is dis
posed of. to decide upon the nature of the
change to be made Democrats do not
wish the speaker to follow Reed and count
"A quorum, but large majority of them
want a rule that will prevent members
sitting in the house and refusing to vote to
make a quorum. and they are going to
have one. too.
The rejection of the home rule bill by
the British house of lords affected the
average English radical in matter where
in his interest was. at the most merely
sentimental. The parish councils or local
government bill however. is a measure in
which every Englishman has vital in
terest: and the mangling of this measure
by the upper house of parliament is being
responded to by a roar of protest and an
ger from the English democracy. 1t has
been the custom of the house of lords to
retract its vetoes upon popular measures
when the pressure from below became
dangerous, and this policy of abnegation
alone has rendered tolerable the continued
existence of the reactionary and anti
popular upper chamber. Should the lords
persist in their policy of obstruction in re-
gard to the pending bill they would raise
up storm of popular indignation which
might sweep them from political power.
