Talking Is Good Exercise.

1t is seldom, says the London Daily
Graphic, perhaps that the average per-
son can CLEAN as much solid satisfaction
from a medical article as one does from
DIR. Harry Campbells paper in the Lam
Get upon ''The Therapeutical Aspects Of
Talking, Shouting, Singing, Laughing,
Crying, Signing aud Yawning." Its,
indeed, complete vindication on the
score of health of all the expressions Of
emotion which We have bsen hitherto
taught TO suppress. The tyrannical pro-
verb that children should be seen and
not heard is utterly discredited by Dr.
Campbell. Oh the contrary, the child
who cries By night and shouts by day
must not be hindered from so expanding
his lungs and accelerating his circula-
ton lest such dire evils "a contracted
chest and even consumption ensue.
The yawner, too, is not being intention
ally rude, but is exercising muscles
which have been for long time mac
tive. The lover, signing like furnace,
is doing himself good by eratiug his
blood. But talking is the healthiest
occupation of all, for it is good for
heart disease, serves as valuable sub
stitute for bodily exercise, and promotes
longevity. There is, however, darker
side to the picture, for the talk which
L-ings health to the hypochondriae
may prove deadly to the listener.

He Knew Longfellow f.

Several travellers were waiting for a
train on the yeranda Of a Southwest
Georgia hotel. II WAS a dismal, rainy
day, and one Of them remarked:
This reminds me of one of LOngfel-
lows pOems-'The Day is Done"
At the mention Of the name long
fellow, tall stranger leaned forward
and said:
''Longfellow? What do you know
bout him.
Little" replied the first speaker,
except that he wrote books"
"An' is he a-writin' of bOOks3'' asked
the tall man. why, the last time I
heard of him he wuz runnin' fer Sher-
iff an maxim of stump speeches.
II fear you are mistaken in the
man" said the first speaker laughing.
''NOt mer' replied the tall man.
Don't | know him? Bill LOngfellOw

Caught the Train.

Sam Wood, whose name is written
all over the State of Kansas, was one Of
the brightest lawyers and newspaper
men in the State.
He made and wasted several fortunes
before an effort 10 change county seat
ended in gun fight which cost him
his life. Not over-scrupulous, he had
his good traits, and he has almost as
many friends as enemies, even now.
One day Sam Wood went out to
new county seat and opened law
office. Presently he found a flaw in
the title by which about half the town
site had been conveyed to the present
holders, and he picked up the link and
served notice he would give quite claim
deeds to every lot if the people in pos
session would pay him. If not, he
gave notice he would begin suits in
ejectment.
They were wild. They held a meet
ing and appointed a committee. The
committee looked into the matter and
then went to Sam Wood with their re-
ply.
ave have searched the records, Mr..
Wood" said the chairman of the COM
mi,tee, "and We find you are right. II
you insist on trying these cases all
these people must be thrown out of
their homes. What sound is that, Mr..
Committee?n
at is the fast freight from the west"
was the reply.
''Yes, it is the fast freight from the
west" repeated the Chairman. "it
will stop at the tank for water. You
have just time, Mr.. Wood, to catch
that train, and wouldn't take re-
turn ticket if were you"
He began to unwind rope he had
looped up under his ulster.
"But through freights don't carry
passengers, said Sam Wood, fully
grasping the utterly hopeless situation.
This freight will carry a passenger" {"
said the chairman OF the committee,
calmly. "Put the end fthis rope over
that awning pole, Mr.. Committeeman.
1t will carry passenger, and he can
go rs live or dead freight, just as he
likes. We have Just tis.e ("
But Sam Wood was in the middle of
the street and half block away, run
ming for dear life. He caught the
freight at the water tank; and he never
returned.

A Valuable Prescription.

Editor Morrison, of WorthingtOn,
Ind, "SuB," writes: "lOu have a
valuable prescription in Electric Bit
tiers, and 1 can eheerfully recommend
it for constipation and sick headache,
and as general system tonic il has
no equal". Mrs. Annie Stehle, 3O35
Cottage Grove Ave, Chicago, was all
run down, could not eat nor digest
food, had a baekaehe which never left
her and felt tired and weary, but six
bottles of Electric Bitters restored her
health and renewed her strength.
Prices soc cents aud Sl.00.

gives the burglar something TO eat?"
Jack leaned the sword up in the cor.
ner, and went out OF the room hand i'm
hand with Mamma Edith.
Suppose he had been real burg
lar, Jack, and had tried to fight you?"
she asked, as they went down the
stairs.
"Fm very glad he WASN'T said the
boy, with smile into her eyes. az

And Mamma Edith took him in her
arms and carried him all the way to

English Pub. Docs. and Ours.

The British government sells all its
publications. Ii gives nothing away,
says the Chicago Record. If you
want a copy of u bill that has been in
troduced into the house of commons, or
a report that has been presented to the
house of lords, or any public matter in
the London county council or the
board Of the city, you have to buy i.
fiom the official printers, and you
have to pay postage if sent through the
mails. In our country nearly all ofii-
cial documents of this kind are given
away, and are sent free through the
mails under frank. The British plan
millions of dollars every year that are
wasted in the United States to furnish
public documents to people who do not
care anything for them, and who throw
them into the waste-paper basket as
soon as they are received. The charge
for official publications is only sufii-
cient to pay the cost and small mar
gin for wastage. Thus the govern
ment printing Office is self-suppOrting
and the postal service pays profit Of
of SlO,OO0,O00 or sl2,OO0,OOO annually
into the treasury. On the contrary,
on our side of the Atlantic, it costs
5,00O, 600 or more to pay for printing
for which no one is the wiser, and our
postofiice department declares an Irish
dividend of s9,O00,OOO or $4,000, 600
every year, much of it is due to the
transportation of pub. docs"

Taking the Air Without Going Out.

Elderly people and others who may
be temporarily house-bound and pre-
vented from enjoying regular daily
stroll outdoors can devise fair substi-
tute as follows: Bundle up as if for the
usual constitutional, select a large sun
ny room, preferably at the top of the
house, open wide the windows, shut off
the heat and move around briskly,
going To the window and inhaling the
fresh air deeply through the nO-trils.
We have often called attention to the
fact that house air, with its many i'm
purities, overheated condition and gem
eral lifelessness, is one Of the principal
predisposing causes TO colds and ca
tarrhal affections. Where patient or
invalid is confined to bed, ifthe should
ers are kept well covered and the head
lightly protected. the windows may be
opened and the rooms flushed with
fresh air without any special risk, pro-
vided the current does not strike them
too directly. The danger from want of
proper ventilation is decidedly great
er.
Deep inhalations of air at the open
window, taken gently through the nose,
impart an enlivening and tonic infiu-
ence to the whole nervous system,
which can soon be demonstrated by 4
personal experiment.-The Health
Magazine.

Care Of the Eyes.

Avoid "squinting."
Shade the eyes from the full glare of
sunlight.
When the eyes are weak, sleep all
that is possible.
Keep soap and all patent eye washes
out Of the eyes.
As you value your sight, avoid all
quack eye doctors.
Never read or use the eyes for fine
work during twilight.
Whenever an eye is injured, call In
an experienced oculist at once.

NOW.

Rise, for the day is passing.
Aud you lie draining on;
The Others have buckled their armor,
And forth TO fight are gone.
\ place in The ranks awaits you
Each man has some part 90 play
The past and the future are nothing
In the face OF the storm to-day.
Rise from your dreams OF the future,
or fgainIng some hard-fought field.
OF storming some airy fortress
OR bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds OF glory,
OF honor, God grant IL may:
But your arm will never be stronger
Or the need 50 great as to-day.
Rise, If the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No claims so unworssiy to hold you
As those OF vain regret.
Sad or bright, she is lifelcss forever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save TO learn the lesson
ora noble strife to-day.
Rise, for the day Is passing,
The low sound that you scarcely hear
l. the enemy marching 20 battle.
Arise, for the foe is here.
Stay not TO sharpen your weapons,
or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams ola coming battle
You may wake 10 find it past.

The Case of John Roberts.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of May IA, in an article
headed: "a Hendricks County Case-A
Dying Man Brought to the Central Hospital
for the insane" stating that he was
brought in a wagon, whisky being admin
istered to stimulate him, and stating fur
Their that he only had a deranged tomach,
conveying the idea that we were a set of
barbarians in this county, seeking, as is
stated, a dumping place for paupers In the
first place, John Roberts is not a pauper;
in the second place, he was not hauled in
a hog wagon, but was taken in a surrey
drawn by two good horses. 1t is true he
took some stimulants, but, above all things,
he was not in a dying condition. 1t will be
granted that he has a "deranged stomach"
but this is not all, unless the physician who
received him has found that mans brain is
within his stomach Would the people of
Indiana think that a man who would seize
his own daughter by the throat and at
tempt to throttle her has only a eranged
stomach, except under condition before
given? Would a sane man pinch great bits
of flesh from his hands and neck? Or would
he keep his two children frightened all the
time by declaring that he was dying or Will
die at a certain time each day? They fur
Their state that he cannot retain his food.
He has not vomited since he has been sick.
At various times he has refused to eat, but
bv leaving the food by him it would after
wards disappear, and his strength has kept
up. 1t is true at times he is rational for a
while: then all at once he becomes maniacal
and is not safe to leave with his daughter
and little son unguarded.
The Clayton people are just as kind
hearted class as are the political-feed ply
sicians at the Insane Hospital. For four
weeks have they endured the raving of this
man, caring for him day and night, keep
ing a man hired to care for him. / have
waited on John Roberts during this sick
ness, have watched the stomach trouble as
we'll as his mental arrangement, have had
counsel with men competent of knowing
insanity. and we, with the witnesses and
two justices of the peace, We're satisfied as
to his irrationality. DR.. j. NJ. DOAN.
Clayton, Ind, May IA.
The Danville correspondent of the Journal
says: "Messrs. McClelland and Taylor,
whose trip to the Insane Hospital was
with the hospital authorities or what oc-
CURED there. Mr.. Taylor says he knows
DR.. Edenharter, and is positive he was not
in the room while they were there. The
only men in the room while they were there
were the receiving officer, the officer who
looks over the acquisitions for clothing, and
tie usher. the latter being in the room only
d portion of the time. The stimulant which
they had was whisky and syrup. procured
in Clayton on the prescription and advice
of Roberts, family physician. The wagon
in which they made the trip was a comfort
able carriage, as good as can be found in
DanVille."
