Effect of Happiness on Health.

1t should be remembered that happiness
and health are most intimately, if not in
dissolubly, associated. The man who is
happy, not by transient CLEANS of spiritual
sunshine, not by casual gay surface color
ing of his existence, but by Il blessedness
all through his body, is not, in the proper
sense of tho word, diseased. The radical
idea of the term disease is inconsistent
with this state
Let us remember that life, blessedncss
and health arc one. He who is not blessed,
who is not happy, does not really live. He
does not realize the idea of what we call
life. The wheels of life move, if they move
at oil, with friction and labor and effort.
All action in the line Of duty is an uphill
excrtion and not spontaneous vivacity.
An unhappy man cannot in the full
sense of the word be u healthy man. Much
of what physicians treat as physical dis
case is only mental unhappiness. 1t fol-
lows from this that the best physician is
he who blcsscs Others, who makes other
souls happy by the divine sunshine of his
words and presence. Tho sphere of his
beneficent life is a contagious peacefulness
and undisturbed tranquility. He minis
tiers to minds diseased, calms their fears,
allays their anxieties, solves their doubts,
quiets forebodings, removes the gloom of
despair, supplants their self condemnation
by sense of pardon and aims to pluck
from the heart every rooted SORROW

A Presidential Barber.

Presidents of the United States since
Lincoln have been shaved daily during
their occupancy of the White House by the
same barber, a colorcd man, who at the
present time because of this fact enjoys
81, 400 clerkship in the treasury depart
ment. He is good clerk and writes a
fine hand. Notwithstanding all this he
still pursues his calling of presidential bar
Der. Every morning while the president
is in Washington this clerk goes to the
White House, carrying in satchel razors,
soap, cups brushes and strops. This duty
is always finished in time for him to be at
his desk promptly at 8 o'clock, and few of
his fellow clerks know'why he never ap-
pears without that black leather satchel.
Lincoln was the first president to en-
ploy him as barber at the executive man
sion, and for some reason he has always
been able to get the same privilege from
every successive president When Presi-
dent Grant returned from his Inaugural
ton, the door of the White House was
opened for him by this barber, whom he
questioned as to what position he held in
the White House. Something in the fei
lows speech or manner pleased Grant, and
he told him he was to consider himself in
stalled during his term. During the early
days of shaving the presidents the barber
took his meals with the other servants in
tho White House kitchen. Whether or not,
in addition to this he was paid regular
sum or tipped each morning he has never
been known to state. In all matters he is
close mouthed and rarely speaks of any oc
currence in the White House Chicago

A RIFLE WITH A RECORD.
One In the Possession Of Captain Brady
Did Terrible Duty After the Revolution.

Among the many articles illustrating
the early history Of Pennsylvania owned
by Robert Strain of Pittsburg is the rifle
of Captain John Brady Of the Rangers,
the most prominent of the Indian fighters,
who after the Revolution won western
Pennsylvania from the red men. The gun
was made in this city, has barrel feet
8 inches long, calibcr 90 bullets to the
pound, has the original fiintlock and
beech stock that was broken at the grasp
in "A hand to hand fight. 1t was mended
with strip Of rawhide, and constant
handli1Y has worn this smooth as glass.
John Brady was one of five brothers, all
fighting men. Three Of them were with
Morgans Rifle corps at Saratoga. On the
conclusion OF the war they settled near
Standing Stone, afterward moving to Jul
niata county.
This was a famous hunting ground OF
the Senecas, and they made it warm for
the pioneers. The Brady family, assisted
by their ncighbors, undertook to cut
field of rye. Their rifles were stacked
handy, but near the close of day they be-
came careless, and were attacked by a par
ty Of Shawnees. Sam Brady got to the ri
fles and shot one Of the Indians, and then
got bullet through the body and was
tomahawked to death and his long red
hair carried away in triumph. His father
escaped and two girls, but third was cap
tured and her brother Thomas killed and
scalped.
When the Indians retreated they took
Mary Brady along. She was then about
Is. One of the party was very large man
who spoke English well and was kind to
the white captive, and this was the famous
Seneca chief, Cornplanter. Bald Eagle
Shawnee chief, was also along. At night,
when the party were sleeping, Mary Brady
arose and taking her brothers scalp that
was drying by the fire, quietly stole away,
and taking a straight road through the
woods, was met at day break by her broth
or John and his friends, who were in
pursuit
Brady swore to be revenged on Corn
planter and Bald Eagle, and eight years
later while scouting on the Allegheny
range he fired across the river at a party Of
Indians, and although "a mile away his
bullet brought down Bald Eagle, The
place is known today as Brady's Bend

no more conspicuous figure than Captain

Is said that when the winter season arrives;
the blouse will have retired from favor, and
passementerie will be confined to close fit

decided change In bodices implies a CORE
spending change In skirts, but what this
will be is not yet evident. Probably skirts
will decrease in size before long, but as yet
they retain their stiffness and amplitude,
1t will be a relief when they do diminish,
for their weight Is oppressive and the hair

unmanageable and clumsy. If the fashion

WALKING COSTUMES.
English Homespun, Tartan Plaids, Gray
Mohair and Golf Capes.

Paris is going in for English goods to a
large extent, tweed homespun, alpaca,
tartan and liberty fabrics being much worn
thoro ut present. This, of course renders
them popular everywhere, as Paris is tho
authority on fashions and what obtains
there Is in demand all over the fashionable
world. French mohair and cheviot, with
plain cloth and close sort Of delaine,
either plain or checked and striped, arc
also liked. Gray mohair trimmed with
white or black Is extremely fashionable,
tho finer kinds being adorned with black
and silver passementerie or oxydized silver
buttons. Black satin often forms the
adornment, in the shape of pipings, lining,
rovers and belt. 1t

full travelling costumes are also made of
deep colored tweed with tight fitting

color, or in brown cheviot striped with
narrow lines of pink or blue.
Plaids will be more or less worn during
the coming season. usually with trimmings
of velvet, favorite way of introducing
the latter material being in the form Of

BILE tartan shawls sell extremely well, the
latest models shown having raw edges
the facings being fastened down by large
bone buttons.
A great many of the newest walking
costumes are cut rauch shorter in the skirt,
and it is said that this is indicative Of n
decided change in respect of the length of
skirts generally. These short skirts are
made of even measurement all the way
around. One and one-half inches from the
ground Is the present altitude.
