PAIN AND PLEASURE.
Psychologists Say They Cannot Be Re-
membered.

Psychologists Say They Cannot Be Re-
membered.
If an ordinary person who has at
some time in his career experienced the
miseries of toothache were asked il he
remembers the pain in question, there
is very little doubt as to what his re-
Spouse would be. Unquestionably he
would say he remembered it. But this
incautious admission might lead at
once to controversial difficulties, for it
appears that psychologists are in doubt
as to whether any one can under any
circumstances remember toOthache
or any other pain.
1t seems desirable to follow this
statement at once with the assurance
that it is not joke. Psychologists, as
a rule, are not humorists, and they
have no thought of being funny when
they assert that pains and other sensa-
lions cannot be remembered. Those of
them who hold this view are strictly in
earnest, and mean exactly what the
words imply in their soberest sense.
They are perfectly aware that we COM
monty speak of remembering pains, and
suppose that we do remember them.
But they contend that in such case we
remember not the pain itself, but the
ideas that were associated with the
pain We remember, for example, that
we are unable to work because we had
a toothache; that we applied remedies
to it unsuccessfully; that finally we
went to dentist and had the tooth ex-
tracted, and at once gained relief. All
this we remember very wildly, as every
one admits But, it is said, we do not
retain in our minds the slightest trace
of the pain itself as memory, or Of
the sensation of relief that came when
the pain ceased.
To the person not accustomed to
looking sharply into the darker corners
of his own mind this will no doubt
seem very unnecessary splitting Of
hairs. But the psychologists do not so
regard it. They are discussing the
matter pro and con with a good deal of
vigor, this, being indeed, one of the
controversies that go to make up the
current history of that world apart in
which the philosophers live.
Another mote point of perennial in
terest to the philosophers is the ques-
ton as to what pain and pleasure real
ly are, psychologically speaking. There
is opportunity for whole dictionaries
full of controversy on that question.

BUSY WOMAN'S GARDEN.
A List of Some of the Beautiful Flower
1t Should Contain.

o
1t Should Contain.
The busy woman wants for her sum-
mer garden such flowers as Will give
the largest amount of bloom throughout
the season with the least possible amount
of care.
One of the best ANIMALS is the phlox.
1t is of the very easiest culture. 1t be-
gins to bloom early in the season. Ii
prevented from developing seed 1T
blooms all summer. 1t comes III
great variety of colors and shades, from
pure white to deep crimson. The two
finest varieties are the white and the
bright rose. Grow these colors In
bed by themselves, and you will be
more pleased with the result than you
will if you have half a dozen other
colors in it.
The petunia is another easily grown
plant. 1t blooms with wonderful free
dom, and keeps at it until frost comes.
If you go over the bed once month
and cut off the ends of the old branches,
the supply of flowers will be greatly IN
creased, as new branches will be sent
out, on which a great many flowers
will be produced. The colors range
through all shades Of rose and violet to
pure white. Many varieties are blotched
and marked in peculiar and striking
ways. Some of the newer sorts are
beautifully fringed and very large.
The calliopsis is charming flower.
1t gives great profusion of most snowy,
brilliant blossoms, some of rich gold
en- yellow with maroon blotch at the
base of each petal, others all maroon.
It is excellent for cutting, because OF
it's long stems.
Every garden should have bed OF
nasturtiums. If you want many flowers
from this plant, do not give it very
rich soil. If you do, there will be
luxuriant growth of branches and foil
age, but few blossoms. The dwarf
varieties are best This is an excellent
plant to cut from. Its colors range
from palest yellow to dark crimson and
maroon.
Balsams are beautiful plants. Their
flowers are like miniature roses III form,
and they are produced in great numbers
all along the branches. The foliage is
also profuse, and great deal of it must
be cut away in order to give the flowers
chance to display their beauty.
Of course sweet-peas should be in
cluded in this list. So should the old
morning glory, which 1 consider our
best Towering vine for general cultiva-
ton. 1t is of rapid growth, of the
easiest culture, and what can be more
beautiful than a great mass of it covered
with it's pink, white and crimson, and
blue ''glories'? 1t is a plant whose
popular name is a most appropriate one.

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and sthat tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is found
in the deficient quality of the blood.
During the winter, owing to various
causes, the blood becomes loaded with
impurities and loses its richness and
vitality. Consequently, as soon as the
bracing effect of cold air is lost, there is
languor and lack of energy. The cure
will be found in purifying and enriching
the blood.
Hoods sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.

GOOD FOR EVIL.
Adolf Cerny, a Poor Bohemian Tailor,
FuIfiIIs an Old World Prophecy.

Adolf Cerny, Poor Bohemian Tailor.
FulfiIIs an Old World Prophecy.
One of those peculiar stories of fact
so closely allied to romance that one
must wonder as one reads came out a
few days ago when Adolf Cerny, poor
Bohemian, tailor who has toiled and
struggled for years, was notified that
fortune had suddenly made him rich
through the February drawing of the
Honduras National lottery Louisiana
State lottery. He had held one-fifth
ticket of No. Sc, 544, and it had drawn
the capital prize of $75, 900 and Adolf
Cerny was worth $4,000.
The story lies not in the fact of a
poor man suddenly becoming wealthy,
for the history of the Honduras Nation
al lottery is brilliant with such happy
tales, but it lies in the individual his
tory of Cerny, through whose agency a
strange prophecy came true.
Adolf Cerny has been living at "A
Emma street. He has four brothers in
this country and seven in Bohemia.
He is about 35 years of age and has
worked for John Harper, the custom
coat maker, at 1876 Fifth Avenue.
The great-great-g randfathe of Adolf
Cerny was the one who made the
prophecy so many years ago. AS a
young man he had been a handsome,
daring fellow, unimpressed by the hau-
teur of the continental aristocracy, and
when the daughter of great family
touring through his country was at
tracted to the strong, courageous guide
and before the tour was over had glad
ly accepted his love, he made bold, ap-
piled to the parents for chance to so
distinguish himself that he might be-
come worthy the hand of one who re-
turned his love. Furiously he was
turned upon and would have been beat
en- had not his strength prevailed, and
then in the torment of wounded pride
and ridiculed love turned and cried:
You have broken my heart but
some day my children shall hold their
hands to be kissed by your children. :"
And now in far-off Bohemia the two
families live side by side, each equally
poor, equally humble, and the first act
of Cerny's upon collecting his $15, 600,
which is vast fortune in Bohemia,
through the American Express Com
pany, was to write the dear ones at
home, sending a comfortable draft,
with instructions to help the neighbors
whose ancestors had spurned his an
cestors. - Chicago (Ills.) Dispatch,

AN AMPHIBIOUS KANAKA.
Some Instances of His Remarkable Feats
of Diving and Swimming.

Rome Instances of His Remarkable Feats
of Diving and Swimming.
Among the natives who will go to the
Midwinter fair at San Francisco is James
Apu, now in Honolulu from Kauai, who
is the champion diver and surf rider of
that island. Many stories OF the re-
markable feats performed by this man
in the water are related.
1t is said that he is SO expert at diving
that he can stay under water for four
minutes at time and meanwhile catch
fish with a spear and net which he uses
while on his submarine visit. He has
no fear of sharks and will take to the
water at any time and under any cir
cumstances. While on board one of the
island steamers a little while ago Oft
Diamond head Apu got fish hungry and
Jumped overheard, caught some and re-
turned to the steamer in few minutes.
In 1884, while at Molokai in small
schooner with three or four other ma
tives, after discussing several bottles of
gin the others left Apu on shore for
Joke and sailed for Maui. Apu threw off
his clothes, tied them in bundle on his
head and swan after the schooner, which
he soon caught up with. The others
would not let him in, so he struck out
for himself and swan the entire distance,
reaching the Maui shore some time be-
fore the others. The distance is over
eight miles and the current swift and
dangerous.
Apu will give surf riding exhibitions
on his arrival at San Francisco, and the
board which he will use has been made
to order of redwood, which Apu says is
preferable to koa, being 50 much lighter.
1t will be painted black, that color be-
ing most obnoxious to sharks. This surf
board is 10 feet long, and when perform
ing Apu stands erect on it and goes
through variety of wonderful feats in
balancing, etc.-Hawaiian Star.

Who Can Look on the Infirmities of a
Veteran Without a Feeling OF
Deepest sympathy

Who an LOOK on the InHfhi1Ies VI 1"
Veteran without Feeling of
Deepest Sympathy
From the Herald, Woodstock, Val
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Next
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed thorugh
both of these wars without a serious
wound The hadrships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip at
tackled him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
firmities of veteran without feel
ing of the deepest sympathy for him:
His townspeople saw him confined to
his house so Frustrated with great ner-
vousness that he could not hold knife
or fork at the table, scarcely able to
walk too, and as he attempted 1T, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw
him treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four
years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by
the account of cure which had been
effected by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within
three days time. The blood found its
way to his fingers and his hands which
had been palsied assumed natural color,
and he was soon able to use his knife
and fork at the table. He has recover
ed his strength to such an extent that
he is able to chop wood, shock corn
and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift up fifty-two pound weight with
one hand and says he does not know
what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have
done for others, but knows that they
have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great
relief. He purchased another box and
took it home with him. Mr.. McIn-
turf is willing to make affidavit to
these facts.
The proprietors Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills state that they are not a
patent medicine but a prescription used
for many years by an eminent practi-
toner who produced the most wonder
full results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from a watery con-
dition of the blood or shattered nerves,
| two fruitful causes of almost every i'll
| to which flesh is heir. The pills are
also specific for the troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, all
forms of weakness, chronic constipa-
ton, bearing down pains, ETC., and in
the case of men will give speedy relief
and effect a permanent cure in all cases
| arising from mental worry, overwork,
or excuses of whatever nature. They
are entirely harmless and can be given
to weak and sickly children with the
greatest good and without the slightest
| danger. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re-
ceipt of price, $50 cents box, or six
boxes for 50. 5O-they are never sold in

SAYINGS OF BISMARCK.
Twenty-fOur Hours Would Cover A Ill the
Pleasures of His Life.

Pleasures of III lis Life.
A Berlin dispatch to the London
Times quotes some interesting sayings
of Prince Bismarck. To some one who
spoke to him as happy man he replied
that he had seldom been happy, and
that if he could count up the moments
of real happiness he had enjoyed in all
his life they might perhaps amount to
twenty-fo hours. Political success had
not brought him happiness, because he
had not had leisure to enjoy it. Politics
with him had been an incessant struggle
and the necessity of holding what he
had gained had always brought in
creased care with each success. In pri-
vate life he said he had had moments of
happiness, as in boyhood when he had
shot his first hare, and he had been
happy later with his wife and children
and as farmer. He thought that to
enjoy happiness one needed a peculiar
temperament, like that of his old mas
ter, who had mixture of the sanguine
and the phlegmatic temperaments. ''It
was often difficult to bring him to de-
termination, but once taken, houses
could be built on it" Of him he said
that clearness and tranquility preserved
his mind and disposition in the most
harmonious equilibrium, and he added:
HE placed truth above everything; and
l also aimed at being truthful in my
diplomatic career, but sometimes affairs
required us both to diverge publicly
somewhat from the truth. How hard
that was for the old Emperor! He in
variably blushed on such occsaions, and
would not look at him, and turned
quickly away. "-Harper's Weekly.

Twenty Years on an Errand

W1LMoT, S. D., Aug. 14.-Twenty
years in which to do an errand is
long time, but that is the period con-
sumed by Charles Wright, a Monticello
(NIinn.) farmer, who arrived here with
his wife and three children to-day.
Twenty years ago the Wright family
lived near Fox Lake, Wis, and one
day Mrs. Wright, who was MIR.
Wright's second wife, ordered Charles
to 90 to town and get her a clothes
line. Being offended, the boy started
in the direction Of the town, and then
ran away, going to Minnesota, where
he has since been living, at Month
cello.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright removed to
this place, whore they purchased a
farm. Some time ago Charles Wright,
who had married, heard that man
named Wright, who formerly lived in
Fox Lake, was living here. He found
that it was his father. Bringing his
whole family, he came here on visit,
and before going to the house pur-
chased clothes line, as his mother
told him to do twenty years ago:
Walking into the house he dropped
the line at the feet Of Mrs. Wright,
who is now an aged woman, and calmly
announced that he had brought the
line.

all along this tier of counties, sixty
miles back from the coast, the yield is
equal to if not greater than that of
1893. Mr.. D. A. Wheeler, Of River
side, from about nine hundred colonies,
gets nearly fifty tons Of honey H. +.
Wilder, with 120 colonies, gets twelve
tons; NJ. Segars, of San Bernardino,
from about three hundred colonies gets
twenty tons. These are not the big
yields that we should like to report,
but they help to make up very pass
able honey crop"
We should think so in South Caro-
lima, and yet the only remarkable fea-
ture in this statement is the average
yield, which is due to care and skill in
management, for individual colonies
in this State often give larger returns.
