DON'T TALK OF YOUR ILLS
People Are More Interested In the Pleas
 ant Side of Life.


 Every eae ef Is has his and her own ailments. writes Edward ". Box ia The Ladies Home Journal, deerying the unpleasant habit many people have of discussing their bodily ills. It is enough for us all to keep well ourselves To be compelled 10 listen to the ail- ments of others aees not make that task a4v. easier. Besides al this, these ua- necessary narratives of personal ail
 nants are positively injurious Q our selves. Physicians all agree that many of the shght illnesses. of which some people make 50 much, could be cured if they would but takaeheir minds from themselves. Too many people work themselves into illnesses or prevent themselves from getting we'll by talking about a petty ailmeat which, II forget ten. would right itself
 "I will not say that women, more than men, are prone to this evil. but as the majority of women have more leisure than the majority of men they are more likely 60 let their minds dwell upon every little il that assalIs them and talk about II. t seems to me that one of the most important lessons we can all learn with the close of the year is to refrain from iufioting upon others what Is purely personal 70 ourselves. Let Us cease this tiresome. this ineon- siderate, this unnecessary talk about our ailments. Cold and hard as it may seem. the fact Is nevertheless true, and will ever remain So, that the vast ma 5orlty of people are interested in what is pleasant in our lives, but not in what is unpleasant Pains and sorrows are clements in cur lives which are sacred and interesting only 10 ourselves.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.

visited upon Mr.. Mckinley for his
many pardons of embezzlers and
bank-wreckers. The announcement
made on the eve of Christmas that,
after already releasing twelve GRIM
mails Of this class, he had that day
pardoned eight more Of the same
stripe, made most painful impress
sion upon the public mind. We are
glad to observe that the religious
press is 4aking up this matter. The
Boston Congregationalist recently
blamed the President for his abuse
of the pardoning power. The Ver-
mont Chronicle attempted to defend
the Executive by advancing the alb
surd plea that there is no class of
law breakers who deserve more sym
pathy than those who have been be-
trayed into wrong under the intense
pressure of commercial excitement
The Congregationalist quotes this ex-
traordinary claim of the Chronicles,
and says with righteous indignation:
@'Has it no sympathy for those
whose savings are stolen, whose prop
erty is pilferedP We persist in ex-
pressing our amazement at the record
which the President has made dur

journals Of the country in demand.
