"TOOk the Wrong Medicine"

1t is an odd trait in human nature
that man who has been ordered by
his physician to take paregoric will
never take it if there is any carbolic
acid or prussic acid in the house that
he can absorb in preference.
Statisticians who have studied the
thing declare that an invalid will
search the whole house for a poison.
Gus drug and drink it rather than
the medicine ordered by the doctor.
The death notices in the newspapers
in cases of that kind are generally
headed, "TOok the Wrong Medi.
cine"
A man arrived at his home the
other evening, and glancing on the
bureau saw bottle of liquid that he
had been ordered by the doctor to
take.
"That looks like the stuff" said
he, but Pm not sure. AS | was
locking up the cellar l saw behind
an old shelf blue bottle that looked
as IT it hadn't been touched for wears.
1T said on it, 'Sulphuric Acid
Now that bottle on the table looks
exactly like the one l drank out of
last night, but still | have an idea
that the stuff down in the cellar is
what the doctor means for me. I
don't know how the dickens it got
down there when it's meant for me
to take, or how this bottle that isn't
meant for me to take got on this bu-
reau. But Pm not going to take
any chances. I'll just go down into
the cellar and make sure, and I'll
throw this stuff out of the Window
Then he cautiously went down
stairs and took the sulphuric acid, and
he was buried in due form after an
ambulance surgeon had done his best
and the coroner's physician had
made a complete investigation and
autopsy.
1t isn't only children who make
these blunders. Doctors will tell
you that they have only to label a
bottle " Lotion, For External Appli-
cation Only" to make sure of it's
being drunk. If patient gets a
bottle of corrosive sublimate to put
on felon on his great toe and
DOESN'T use any at all, he will care
fully save it. Ten years afterward
doctor gives some cough mixture
to him, and then he goes and hunts
up the corrosive sublimate bottle.
plays three-card monte with it and
the cough mixture, gets them thor
oughly mixed up so that he can't tell
one from the other, and then when
he feels that tightness across the
chest that the doctor told him about,
he swallows part of the corrosive
sublimate and leaves his widow to
collect the life insurance. BY no &C.
cldent is the cough mixture ever
taken-it is always the corrosive
Sublimate.

He Had No GiZzard.

The burglar was not a bad LOOKING
man, although his business had {
bad look.
He stood by the door of a sleep
ing-room and peered in.
A faint light was burning and he
could hear the measured breathing
of some one asleep.
Cautiously he crept inside, stoop
ing low and looked around.
No one there save a sleeping wo
man.
In an instant a cloth saturated
with either was thrown over heI
face, and he waited one, two, three
ten minutes and the stentorous
breathing Of the sleeper told him
the drug was doing its work.
With deXtrous hand he seized
the jewelry and money lying on the
dressing case and began a quick
search in the drawers of the case.
800 co." came a voice from the
shadows of the room.
Quick as flash the burglar
clutched his silent knife and turned
to meet his victim.
No one is visible.
100000" came the voice again
and the burglar saw a child in its
crib by the foot of the bed.
1t was pretty baby, sleepily
holding up its hands to him.
He let his knife fall to his side and
stepping over to the crib, touched
the child.
1t cooed again softly and held I'D
its arms for him to take it.
The impulse was beyond his con-
troll, and he lifted the baby to his
bosom and it nestled it's soft white
cheek down to his and put its
white arm about his neck.
He purred to it, and in a moment
its curly head was laid against his
face and it was asleep again.
"Never seen kid like that,n he
whispered to himself. "Most of
um is afraid of strangers" and he
tenderly laid it in q crib.
Then he went back to the dress
ing case.
He stood still a moment and then
looking furtively over his shoul-
der toward the crib.
The sleeping face Of the child was
turned toward him.
Slowly he replaced on the case all
he had taken from it, hastily snatch
ing from the woman's face the satu-
rated cloth, opened a window near
the bed and slipped down stairs.
Once on the street he looked up at
the house hungrily.
Dang it !" he growled, ga man
that amt got no more gizzard than
have ought to git out of the busi-
ness"
And he disappeared into the shad-
ows of the night.

"DONT's" FOR WOMEN.-Don't
wear a veil with a hole in it. 1t
gives woman squalid look of pow
erty that there is no excuse for.
Wells cost little, and at the worst
she can go without one. Don't lift
up your dress high enough to show
your garter on one side and allow
your skirt to trail on the other.
Every woman should practice hold
ing up her skirts before pier glass.
They can be so caught all together in
the back as to lift them effectively
and yet decently. Don't wear your
clothes wall paper tight if you are
too fat. TO look as if you were
bursting your seams is to make the
most of yourself-if there is too
much already. Don't cut yourself
in two near the knees with coat
that strikes you about there, if you
are short woman. Nothing detracts
more from an appearance of height.
Don't forget that pointed openings
of the dress at the throat are becOm-
ing only to slender women, and
square openings are what are wanted
for all full faces.

Natures Dealings With Man.

The helplessness of man in the
grasp Of that which we call Nature
has seldom been more strikingly sci
forth than within the last few days
In several parts Of the world. Ir
our own country, for example, what
sport the weather has made of his
plans y fortnight ago the prospects
OF the gardener and fruit grower
were more than ordinarily bright
The season was late, but that very
fact seemed to give security against
untimely f'rosts. When at last warm
weather came, gardens and vine
yards and orchards responded to its
touch as almost never before. Bios
SONS and leaves flashed out in all
their tulnesS in a twinkling of an
eye. There was promise of an abun-
dance of fruit, and little fear, if any,
at that late date, of blighting frost.
But the frost came, and in a night
inflicted millions Of dollars of loss,
much of it irreparable until another
year.
At almost exactly the same time.
IN distant land, another caprice of
Nature was marring other works of
man no less disastrousIy. While
frost was cutting down the few days
OLD flowers and foliage an earthquake
shock was tumbling down the centu-
rleS old monuments of mans artistic
and constructive skill. The nJblest
towers and spires of Florence were
wrecked with as little cOmpunction
as Buddensiek deathtrap. In the
eye of remOrseless natural law thew
are all the same. Or If there be any
distinction, it is apparently in favor
OF the less worthy. The stately
Duom0 is wrecked, while the humble
hut is spared. The early garden,
planted by the industrious man is
blighted, while the later crops of his
sluggard neighbor go unscathed.
Truly, man seems the veriest sport
Of circumstance.
Nevertheless, the lesson of it is one
OF optomism, not of pessimism.
Despite the perils from frost, it will
pay men to go on planting early gar
dens and growing early fruit year af-
ter year. Despite the fear of earth
quakes, men build, and wisely build,
great houses and lofty towers. For,
after all, these atfiictions are excep-
tional. Good seasons outnumber the
bad. There are more temples and
palaces in Florence than the earth
quake has destroyed. There is more
good than evil in the world. Reck-
less of mans welfare as Nature Of
ten seems to be, there is a benign
Power in Nature, or above it, that
on the whole "makes for righteous
ness" And the wise man will re-
pair the shattered buildings, replant
the wasted fields, thank God, and
take courage.

THERE is no discredit, but honor
in every right of industry, whether
it be tilling the ground, making tools,
weaving fabrics, or selling the prod
ucts behind the counter. A youth
may handle yard.stick, or measure
piece Of ribbon; and there will be
no discredit in doing so unless he al
lows his mind to have no higher
range than the stick and ribbon-to
be as short as one, and as narrow as
the other. Let not those blush
who have" said Fuller, "but those
who have not lawful calling"

Love guide thee o'eI life's ocean,
Direct each course and motion,
BE the star of thy devotion,
Entice thee from each evil way,
And let no rough wind chide thee
Allure thee upward day hy day,
And from all evil hide thee.

That bars out gold and glory,

WILLING TO COMPROMISES
colored preacher of Georgia married
couple few weeks ago. He told
the groom the fee was five dollars.
He pleaded inability to pay just then.
A month thereafter the preacher
dunned him again, and told him
that if he didn't pay the five dollars
that he would take his bride away
from him. The negro groom re-
piled: "All right if that will settle
the debt, take her." He was in earn
est about it. The sweets of married
life had palled upon his taste.
