1t was said of DR.. johnson that he all
ways talked Us though he were taking
an oath. He detested the habit of lying
or prevaricating in the slightest de-
gree, and would not allow his servants
to say he was not at home if he was.
"a servants strict regard for the truth, 8"
said he, "must be weakened by such
practices. If accustCm my servant to
tell a lie for me, have 1 not reason to
apprehend that he will tell them for
himself?" A strict adherence to truth
the doctor considered as a sacred obli-
cation; and in relating the smallest
anecdote, he would not allow himself
the minutest addition to embellish his
story.-Detroit Free Press.

AMOUNTED WITH OIL.
The Ancient Use of Perfumed Un-
guents for Suppleness, beauty
and Health.

1t was the custom among the athletes
and the gladiators of old to anoint the
body with oils. And as the olive grew
upon the sunny Etruscan hills and on
the slopes of greater and lesser
Greece, as it does to-day, it is probable
that the luxurious idlers in the baths
of Caracalla used for amounting their
bodies olive oil tinctured with oriental
perfumes. As for the Roman athletes,
they were in the habit of using the
freshly expressed oil of the olive to give
agility and suppleness to their limbs.
Some of the greatest beauties of
whom history babbles have also been
prone to the use of oil. Nine. Recamier
was in the habit of partalling freely of
olive oil with her food and used it also
after the bath. Her beautiful skin and
clear complexion were doubtless due
to this rather than to powders or
paints dabbed upon her with a brush
or a powder puff, as modern patent
medicine vendors would have many
women believe. Tradition says that
both Cleopatra and Zenobia partook
freely of olive oil and used oils as in
unctions after the bath.
In the countries where the olive
fourishes, such as Italy medical prac-
titioners use the oil very freely for a
host of ailments. Fever patients are
sometimes soothed in Italy by copious
| inunctions of olive oil. It's maintained
in the Levantine countries that the use
of oil externally prevents rheumatism,
govt and other kindred maladies which
are aggravated by external chills, and
that the internal use of the oil removes
the toxic condition of the blood, which
leads to the generation of these mala-
dies.-San Francisco Argonaut.

tearing along in the wake of the dog.
My remarkable father had planned all
right, but he hadn't counted on the tao
ties of his dog. When the dog came
around that time he discovered the
crack in the door and made a dive for
it. He squeezed his way through, col
lided with Reuben Pettibone, tumbled
him on his back on the floor, and sprang
on the bed in the corner. The two
wolves came right on through the door,
trampled all over Reuben Pettibone,
and followed the dog on the bed. Reu-
bn jumped TO his feet and put bullet
through one of the wolves, and, as my
remarkable father used to chuckle and
say, that wolf took no more interest in
the evenings entertainment
Reuben had kicked the door shut
in scrambHng to his feet, and his APP
pearance with the gun made a change
in the calculations of the remaining
wolf. This wolf made a dash for the
window. He sent the glass flying, but
the sash held, and he tumbled back into
the room. Before he had time for an
other move, Reuben Pettibone put a
bullet through him, and that wolf never
knew what hit him. Having disposed
of the wolves, Reuben turned his at
tention to the dog. The dog had
crawied under the bed, and from the
way he whined and shook and declined
to come out. Reuben Pettibone couldn't
come to any other conclusion than that
the dog was scared.
'Shiftlock has been stuck in that
dicker, sure as meat axesl' said he. i
must take this dog back and tell him so.
TIN never do to waste patent hog ringer
rights on such a dog as this!
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1898-06-16

$50 next morning Reuben Petdbone
took the wolf dog down to Uncle Sniff
locks.
'Shiftlock,' said he, you had better
take this dog where you got him and
get your township rights in the patent
hog-ringer back. And before you go
you might hand me back my $3.50
"'What forP said Uncle Shiftlock,
looking surprised.
Then Reuben Pettibone related the
adventures of the night and berated the
dog soundly to Uncle Shiftlock.
You said this dog would tussle
wolves so that I'd feel like falling on his
neck with joy, said Reuben. Instead
of that l feel like falling on his neck
with an ak! You've been deceived,
Shiftlocll said he.
"'Wait a minute, Reuben, said Uncle
Shiftlock What did tell you about
that dog? told you to just let that
dog hunt wolves once and he'd tussle
'em till you'd feel like falling on his
neck with JOY, didn't"
THAT'S what you said, Shiftlocl,'
said Reuben Pettibone, and I'll take
my $3.50 now
81 said just let that dog hunt wolves,
Reuben, said Uncle Shiftlock. That's
what I said, and you didn't do it. You
let the wolves hunt the dog, and he
wasn't broke for that. III have to keep

but he invested little more in the

my Uncle Shiftlock Pettibone. What do
you think, Macldnaw? Don't you think
he went too far?"

"FLow GENTLY, SWEET ALTON"

'Flow gently, sweet Afton''-oh, come back
TO me
with Arabys Daughter, the Banks O. the
Dee
And many ballad now caroled no more,
Forgotten and wrecked on oblivion's
shore
As a mother once sang them; no more
shall hear
Her accents, now silent this many year;
Yet lives in her memory of boyhood s
bright days,
green braes."
"Flow gently sweet Afton"-oh, could 1
once more
Lie under the naples that shaded the door,
And sec their boughs lifted by each pass
ing breeze
Entranced by earth's music; the hum Of
The call of the lambkins. the warbling Of
birds:
And away on the uplands the lowing Of
herds;
While a sweeter voice thrilled me, whose
memory abides-
THY crystal stream, Alton, how lovely 1t
glides."
"Flow gently, sweet Afton"-oh, to hear it
again.
Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds
through the glen"
As In summers long ended when roses were
nigh,
Or when wild autumn tempests wrung
tears from the sky,
When fierce down the valley the wintry
winds blew,
That simple old ballad that ever was new;
Though the numbers and rhythm in memory
live on
''Flow gently. sweet Afton"-the music is
gone.
GLOW gently. sweet Afton"-thy waters
could be
No sweeter than Deerhelds bright ripples
to me-
Or to her who beside them, her loved ones
to cheer,
Child, maiden and mother, sang many a
year,
In caroning measures when joy filed the
air
But softly when anguish or sorrow were
Her ashes repose by the clear winding
stream
"Flow gently. sweet Alton, disturb not hel
dream"

At the time of the Indian mutiny a
considerable amount of rough-and-
ready justice was dealt out to the mu-
tineers caught red-handed. A sergeant
of one of the flying columns accepted
the Office of eSecutioner, and, having
had no previous experience. was
thought to have sometimes given to the
patients who came under his hands
pain which might have been avoided.
His commanding officer summoned him
to reply TO this charge, and his plea in
rebuttal was: please, sir, hadn't had
40 complaints. Chambers Journal
