Artists Failures.

Do not, let me beg of you, be afraid of so called failures, '' said we'll known artist addressing his class. "They are only stepping stones to success, the premiums we all must pay for expert ence. l may say, without vanity, that have been fairly successful in my pro- fession, and yet to one canvas that suo- ceeded there have been as many as 40 which have soraped down with my palette knife in disgust Even if stu dent never succeeds, his very failures may be noble ''
 It is not only to art that this exhorta- tion might apply Ill every career, in every walk in life, the same point of view should be taken. Failures are not failures really-they are lessons; they are stepping stones. They should not be associated for a moment with despond- ency or hopelessness. Just as a child tumbles and picks himself up as a mat ter of course and runs gayly on, so should we children of larger growth regard the ups and downs of life, never losing courage, however often we tum- bles Young people especially should be taught that it is not always success to succeed and that disappointments should be taken philosophically. The idea of booby prize in games is a good one There are many prizes in life for those who apparently fail, and even ill worldly matters the last shall be first and inc first shall be last in nine cases out of ten.

Diseases of Miners.

As to whether there are any diseases peculiar to the miners calling there is evidence that, with one, or perhaps two, exceptions, there are none such. These exceptions are an affection of the eye, termed nystagmus, and. in a lesser degree, that disease of the respiratory organs which usually goes by the name of miners asthma Nystagmus, all though not prevalent affection, is one with well marked symptoms directly traCeable to the posture of the collier while at work
 The symptoms are osoillation with more or less of rolling motion of the eyeballs, giddiness, with headache, and the appearance of objects moving in a circle, or lights darcing before the eyes.
 In severe cases the person affected may stumble and be so much incon- venienced as to be obliged to stop work. Dr{ Simeon Shell of Sheffield has given tEsa disease special attention for about 20 gears and has published the results of his investigations, which show be- yond all reasonable doubt that nystag- mus is confined almost entirely to those underground workmen who are engaged in holing or undercutting the coal, and is due to the miners babit of looking upward above the horizontal line of vision, and more or less obliquely while at work lying cn his side. It has been observed also in fremen and others who have occasion frequently to examine the roof, turning the eyes obliquely while doing so. Any other occupation in which the person may habitually turn the eyes upward and sideways will induce Ilystagmus. Coal Trade Jour nal

WOMEN NEED Nor BE DISCOURAGED The nervous tension under which most of our women constantly live affects the female organism seriously. Heavy house. hold burdens, social gaieties, work in some commercial establishment, any oi these duties seem impossible to women who are ill and yet they keep up for a time under pressure of the demands upon them. When they do break down, the advice and treatment they receive from their family physician don't go to tae root of the trouble and they get no better. They are discouraged, worn out, tir. d ot life. The great specialist in women's dis eases, Dr. Greene, of Nervura fame, 35 West 14Lh street, New York city, has shown thousands of women who though themselves hopeless invalids the way 10 health His office is open to all women for free consultation and advice, or if you will write him about your case he will ad- vice you by mail absolutely free of all cost and confidentially. The glorious remedies discovered by this profound physician are an invaluable boon to wo- men. It costs nothing to be put on the road to health, and all ailing women should write to Dr. Greene at once.

A passenger told me story about it.. He said that his grace, the bishop of a certain see, was once making Q business progress through the tavernless welt, and one night he stopped with a Boer; after supper, was shown to bed. He undressed weary and worn out, and was soon sound asleep. In the night he woke up feeling crowded and suffocated, and found the old Bonra and his wife in bed with him one on each side, with all their clothes on, and snoring. He had to stay there and stand it awake and suffering until towards dawn, when sleep again fell up- on him for an hour. Then he woke again, The Boer was gone, but his wife was still at his side.

Grant and OchiItrea.

President Grant made Colonel Ochll- tree marshal for certain district in Texas The colonel, however, did not spend much of his time at home, but went skylarking about the country wherever his fancy led him. This caused so many complaints to be filed against him that at last the president sent for him to come to Washington.
 While waiting in the White House reception room for his turn to see the president, Ochiltree began reading re- port of the preceding days races at Saratoga and was surprised to see that horse bearing his own name, Tom OchiItree, had carried off second money. When he faced President Grant, the latter said he was sorry to learn that an appointee of his should be in any way derelict in his duty. ''The fact is, Tom, can hardly pick up paper that 1 don t run across your name,' said he. land you seem to be about everywhere except in Texas, where you ought to be. ; 1 General, " said the Texan, with a smile as radiant as California sun- | set, tiff you Il read the papers today you'll find that 1 carried off second money at Saratoga yesterday and am said to be ill fine form and faster than ever' See here y
 And he showed the sporting page of the paper i'll his pocket
 "Am to blame, D he said, If, while l am faithfully attending to my duties at home, some confoundtd race bolse is disgracing ny name atuut the coun- try?"
 The president thought not, and Tom hurried back home and stuck to husi mesquite awhile, -CEIcaGo Times Herald.

We live in country of which the prin- cipal scourage is stomach trouble.
 It is more wide spread than any other disease, and, very nearly more danger ous.
 One thing that makes it so dangerous is that it is so little understood.
 If it were better understood, it would be more feared, more easily cured, less universal than it is now.
 So, those who wish to be cured, take Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root of the trouble as no other medicine does. The pure, harmless curative herbs and plants of which it is composed, are what render it so certain and at the same time, so gentle cure.
 It helps and strengthens the stomach purifies and tones up the system.

 Cooper Lane, Oct. 14th, 1867.
 The monotony of the Lane has been broken by the advent of 8 herd of forty five head of cattle purchased in Vermont, and broughtE here by our enterprising neighbor and we'll known ''cattle broker" :" Chauncey Smith. Breeds, sizes, colors and descriptions were all handsomely represented, from the patient OK to the ''cow with the crumpled horn,' and the heifer, such as the ''old woman' told her husband never to buy, giving as her reason, "I never knew heifer to make a good cow" Cattle dealers and butchers crowded in and for few days Cooper's Lane wore business aspect and seemed the "Brighton" of Stafford. Men seemed to understand that there was right smart chance D for trade hereabouts, and as Winter, Wakefield and Rockwell se- lected the fattest of the corpulent bovines and drove them away, there was apparent on their self satisfied countenanees some thing very suggestive of steak and sir l loin in prospect for the lovers Of good I fare.
 A flock of wild ducks, who took lodg- ings for the night on the meadow pond, back of Cooper's Lane on Saturday even- ing last, somehow got "mixed" with the shot tdischargedf from the guns of Chauncey Smith and son, and Augustus Washburn, which accident detained four of their number from proceeding on their journey. Washburn shot 8 very fine duck, while on the wing, the shot taking effect only in the head. It may have been accidental, but he has had "an experience" in army service, which might have brought it about. SALLIE PEPPERGRAss.
