A STRANGE BENEFACTOR.
Remarkable story OF How Man
Helped Relieve suffering In
Hundreds OF Homes.

Hundreds OF Homes.
Iron the Brooklyn, NJ y, Standard Unton.)
There is a curious character in Blssville,
the southern extreme of Long Island City,
who is known to everybody, including
children, as "the doctor" although his
advice has always been gratuitous and he
has but one remedy
Joseph j. Myers, "the DOCTOR is the
proprietor of the Homestead Hotel, where
Standard Union reporter found hun last
night
"What is the secret of my rcmedy?" he
smilingly observed, in response to a question.
"There is no secret. Neither am ] doctor;
and there hasn't been one in my house for
almost a quarter of a century. My doctor
stands up there on the safe in the form Of
Perry Davis Pain-Killer, and under no
circumstances would | allow myself to be
without a bottle.
81 was once afflicted by liberated sore
throat, and my position became so critical
that three physicians, who had been called
in consultation, gently broke the yarn to
me that my days were numbered. An appli-
cation of Pain-Killer was suggested | tried
it. A week later was back at my work.
"A few weeks afterwards a neighbours
wife was suffering from the same afiiiction.
| sent bottle to her, and in a few days she
came to my house to thank me for having
saved her life.
"My oldest boy, last winter, was attacked
with inGammatorv rheumatism. ! applied
Pain-Killer and drove every vestige Of the
malady out of his system.
"My two boys were brought through a
siege of diphtheria, at n time when the dis
ease was widespread, and the Pain-Killer's
success with them induced me to send a
dozen bottles to neighhors whose children
were also Frustrated. In every instance it
effected a cure. That's why they call me
doctor" in Blissville."

A German paper tells an amusing story
of Cumberland, the thought-reader. On a
journey from Vienna to st. Petersburg he
entertained his fellow passengers by guess
ing their thoughts. One of the travellers,
a Polish jew, who took the whole thing
for a hoax, offered to pay Cumberland the
sum of so rubles if he could divine his
thoughts. Visibly amused, Cumberland
acceded to his request, and said: you are
going to the fair at Nizhnee- Novgorod,
where you intend to purchase goods to the
extent of 10000 rubles, after which you
will declare yourself bankrupt and COM
pound with your creditors for per cent"
On hearing these words the jew gazed at
the speaker with reverential awe. He then,
without uttering a syllable, drew out of the
leg of his boot a shabby purse and handed
him the 80 rubles Whereupon the great ma
gician triumphantly inquired, Then have
guessed your thoughts, eh?" mo" re-
piled the jew, but you have given me
brilliant idea

An old-fashioned sea story, full of inter-
est and adventure, with strong love mo-
tive, is begun by w, Clark Russell in the
January Cosmopolitan. "Ouida" succeeds
FrOude, Gosse, Lang, and other distin-
guished writers with an instalment of the
Great passions of history series, which
has been appearing in the Cosmopolitan.
A discussion is aroused by Mr.. Edward
BOk's article on 1.-THE young man and the
church," which will consume tons of ink
before it is settled. Just preceding the
famous Charcot's death he prepared an ar
ticle for the Cosmopolitan on Pasteur, to
be published after Pasteur's death. But
Charcot has died first, and so with the con-
sent of CharcOts executors the article is
given now.

The heliograph is an instrument by
which rays of light are reflected, from high
ly polished mirrors, so as to throw the re-
sulting flash on any desired point within
the field of vision. The mirrors are mount
ed on tripod, and by adjusting screws the
clash" is kept concentrated on the distant
station. BY cutting off the flash with a
movable screen for longer or shorter inter
walls the signalist at the distant station sees
clashes or dots which represent to the
skilled eye the familiar dash or dot of the
telegraph code. The longest distance over
which the heliograph has been successfully
used is lS3 miles, between two mountain
peaks in Colorado

MISCELLANY.
The Dead Babe.


Last night. as my dear babe lay dead,
In agony knelt and said
20 God, what have done,
Or in what wise offended Thee,
That Thou should'st take away from me
My little son?
Upon the thousand useless lives,
Upon the guilt that Haunting thrives,
Thy wrath were better spent.
Why should st thou take my little son?
Why should st Thou vent Thy wrath upon
This innocenty'
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
Before mine eyes the vision spread
OF things that might have been:
Licentious riot, cruel strife,
Forgotten prayers wasted life
Dark red with sin
Then, with soft music in the air,
l saw another vision there:
A Shepherd. IN whose keep
A little lamD, my little child,
of worldly wisdom unde He'd,
Lay fast asleep!
Last night as my dear babe lay dead
In those two messages | read
A wisdom manifest;
And, though my arms be childless now,
| am content to Hin bow,
Who knoweh best.

One part of the wedding ceremony among
the Babylonians was very significant. The
priest, it is said, took a thread from the
garment of the bride and another from the
garment of the bridegroom and tied them
into knot, which he gave to the bride.
This is probably the origin of the modern
expression, "tying the knot" as applied
to the marriage ceremony.
The Lick observatory will probably get
the great rejecting telescope, which Prof.
M'George, formerly of Melbourne, but now
in the Paris observatory, proposes to con-
struct. Ex-senator James e. Fair is to
guarantee the cost OF it-about 100000.
The mirror will be twenty feet in diam
eter. Nothing existing will come near to
this new reflector. 1t will have ten times
the light-giving power of the glass in the
great equatorial of the Lick observatory.
