HIS MOTHERS SON.

my niece Mary was always we'll
meaning girl, but she would say the
wrong thing almost every time" said
one old gentleman to another land
she's got boy that's going to be her
counterpart"
The old gentleman's eyes twinkled,
and his ugly, good-natured face was
puckered with enjoyment as he drew
from his pocket-book a small sheet of
note-paper.
Il sent Hal toy monkey that plays
all kinds of pranks when it's wound
up" said he, chuckling. "Sent it to
him for Christmas. Now you listen to
this letter of thanks l got from him
to-day. He's just eight years old:
Dear Uncle Ned:-I am delited
with the munkey, thank you. He
makes ME think of you very often.
And whenever mamma winds him up,
and he begins to jump, mamma and l
feel as if we were back at your house
where all those toys are, and mamma
will look at the munkey and say,
That's your Uncle Ned all over"
Good-by from your greatful Hail."

THE CARE OF THE EYES,

On rising in the morning the eyes
should be bathed gently in cold water
twenty 'passes" are said to be de-
cidedly strengthening. While using
them closely they should be rested at
intervals of an hour or two, for the
strain of constant reading or sewing
is like that of extending the arms to a
certain height immovable. Imagine
then the taxing of the eyes, which
cannot complain save after years of
irreparable neglect. When dust settles
in the eyes warm water will soothe
them of any Inflammation rose-water
is extremely refreshing, but it should
be bought in small quantities, as it
keeps but short time. Five cents
worth will give a daily eye bath for
several weeks. Tea leaves and alum
water were the eye tones which our
grandfathers used; but in these
modern days of absolutely hygienic
and antiseptic simplicity water, es
pecially in distilled form, is con
sidered powerful enough.-HdTpeT'

CHINESE INDIFFERENCE TO PAIN.

From The New-OrleapS es-Democrat.
"A very curious thing about the
Chinese is their Indifference to pain"
said DR.. +. u Simmons, the veteran
missionary of Canton, who was in the
city few days ago. I'VE do a great
deal of surgical work in the great City
Hospital conducted by the united mis-
sions at Canton, and it was at first
supposed that there would be endless
trouble in persuading the natives to
take anasthetics, but the doctors
found to their surprise that anasthe-
tics were rarely needed, and that their
patients endured the most serious
operations without fiinching the frac-
ton of an inch. The average China
man will assume the required position
and hold it like a statue. When the
knife touches his flesh he begins a
slight monotonous moan, and keeps it
up until the ordeal is over, but he gives
no other indication of pain. Whether
this is due to nerve bluntness or
stoicism, or combination of both, l
have never been able to determine,
but the fact remains that the Canton
Hospital uses less chloroform or ether
than any other large institution of the
kind on earth"

so they parted.
But the King provided one of his
own farm horses-and one of the best,
too-and sent the animal, with twenty
gold pieces, to his bearers cabin. The
wife was at home, and secuted the idea
that beast and money were for her
husband. The messenger, however,
was firm. He explained that the gifts
came from the King" This excited
the woman's mirth. She shouted

thought him of his manners. He flung

CARDS AND DICE,

Playing at dice has an antiquity eX-
ceedingly remote. That gambling was
prevalent in India we learn from the
many denunciations against it in the
Hindu code. The Jews were great
gamblers; aud in casting their fire.
quent lots the use of dice obtained
certain use.
In Persia, dicing was q fashionable
diversion. Mohammed's severe in
functions against gambling (by means
of dice, cards, &c in the Koran indi-
cate Enthusiastically that the Arabs
were not free from the practice.
Among the japanese, Chinese,
Huns, and even the savages of Ameri.
ca diverse gambling habits preya led
in which dice were frequently used.
Dice are said to have been invented
by Palamedes during the siege of
Troy.
The Greeks employed dice in divina-
ton. With the Romans the highest
possible throw-and they played with
three dice-was called Venus, and the
lowest CAMS, whence possibly our ex-
preston of ''going to the dogs
The Spaniards were great gamblers,
and the Italians were not behind other
nations in their rage for play. Dice
were used in France as early as 1850,
aud in England some time previous to
1863. Pepys records their use in
England under date of Jan. !, 1667-S.
The earliest use of cards, which are
credited with Indian origin, was for
divinatioD. They became in gypsy
hands what we know dis tarots, and
were then, as they frequently still
are, used for fortune telling. The use
CT cards in England appears from the
records to have been current as early
as 14G3
The Puritans called the pack of
cards the DEVILS prayer book, though
even they INDUCED at times their
secret passion for gambling. With
the French priests the pack of cards
was the DEVILS soul-traps. They adj
mitted, however, that the name given
to q thing may alter its character.
A French soldier once, SO runs the
story, on going to church at Brest
with others, pulled ont pack of cards
instead of a Prayer Book, and turned
them over and over, with apparent
greatdevotion. Being taken to task for
his scandalous conduct, he, laying
the cards on table. explained thus ::

THE VALUE OFAGOoD NAME.

Down in Brunswick, Ga, the other
day, Middleton Frazier, an aged
darkey, was brought to trial for
alleged assault. Up to that time he
had neither been lynched nor burned.
His attorney showed that he had been
good niger befo' de wah, and when
he took the stand in his own behalf
the venerable eX slave was SO con-
vincing in word and manner that the
public prosecutor arose and asked
that the case be dismissed, as he did
not have sufficient evidence against
Frazier to convict him; and, further
more, he could see already that the
jury were leaning toward acquittal.
The Judge concurred, and calling on
the prisoner to stand up, said: "Old
man, you now see the value OF good
name. Your character and conduct
in this community have been such as
to greatly favor you, and to that ill.,
t1uence you have much to be thank
full for. Live an honest, upright and
truthful life, and you will never have
anything to fear from the laws
hand.h
The old man thanked the Judge, de-
claring that the teachings of his
master in the slavery days had been
such as to direct his conduct in after
years, and to his masters teachings
he owed his good name.

Edward Murphy, Jr., of Troy, for
mer United States Senator, was tell
ing number of friends in the Hoff-
man, says the New York Press, a.
story about a colored vagrant who
lives in Troy. The happy-g lucky
son OF the South is a favorite with
every one, and his only known virtue
is his kindness to his wife. She was
taken ill some time ago, and, while
the "darkey" had no money TO pay
for physician, he persuaded a local
doctor to visit his wife and prescribe
for her. He succeed in getting the
medicine from a dispensary all right,
but one thing bothered him. The
doctor told him he must make his
wife some chicken broth, and feed
her certain amount every Is min
utes.
"Trubble is, doc" said the colored
man, Il amt got no pusson to make
the broth and feed her."
The doctor said shortly: Feed her
yourself, you lazy fellow. You have
never done a stroke of work in your
life, and you haven't anything else to
don
The "darkey" scratched his grizzled
head in a puzzled way and said slow
ly:
"Yas, sab. Vas, sab. OATS right.
But if has to feed her cherry Is min

How prone we are to hide and hoard
Each little token love has stored,
To tell of happy hours;

A bunch of faded flowers.

Our darings to the silent land,
Awhile we set bereft.
But time goes on, and anon we rise,
Our dead being buried from our eyes,
We gather what is left.
The books they loved. the songs they sung,
Tho little mite whose music rung
So cheeriuliy of old;
I,he pictures We have seen them paint,
The last plucked flower, with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with rcverent care
Inc robes they. living, used to wear;
And painful pulses stir,
As DER the relics of our dead

A subtle scent is there.

To lend our relics sacred-dear-

On curl and flower; and, with its mute

HOW To 90 TO SLEER

The activity of the brain is in direct
proportion to the amount of blood
contained in the vessels of the brain,
and anything that lessons the amount
of blood in these vessels will induce
sleepiness, while the greater the flow
of blood, the greater will be the
flow of ideas. This is compare
lively new discovery, for it
used to be held that much blood
in the brain caused sleep. DIR. William
Hammond has, however, demonstra-
ted the fallacy of this latter idea by a
description of the results obtained by
experiments with instruments of pre-
cisio;, one of which was his own in
vention, which showed that the flow
of blood to the brain was coiucident
with the degree of mental activity dis
played in the subject. If person lies
down, thus allowing the blood to flow
more readily to the brain, and cannot
sleep, let him get up, sit in a rocking
chair, and throw his head back, and
he will probably go to sleep very
quickly. Some people have found by
experience that they can sleep better
after eating, and the doctor explained
this by saying that the blood, not
being able to be in two places at
the same time, and having to 60 to the
stomach To digest this food, has to
leave the brain, and therefore sic. p
follows. Some people are more active
mentally when lying down than when
sitting un, because of the greater flow
of blood to the brain.

QUEER WAY OF GETTING HURT.
John Billingsly, an aged farmer, re-
siding near Homestead, was injured in
an unusual manner today. While he
was sitting in his hallway smoking
his pipe, with both hall doors open so
as to enjoy the current or air, a fox
that was being pursued by a pack of
| dogs suddenly rushed in the open
doorway and against the chair which
Mr.. Billingsly was leaning back in,
with such strength as to topple over
the old man, throwing him to the floor
and forcing the pipe stem down his
| throat, causing great pain. The
sudden fall on the hard floor caused
other injuries that, with his advanced
age, may prove quite serious. The
fox ran through the house, under the
barn, and across the fields to the
woods, successfully escaping his
enemies.

Cumberland (Md.) Correspondence of The
Philadelphia Press.
Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, wife of the
Governor of this State, residing here,
is engaged in the beneficial work of
curing the whooping cough in most
peculiar way.
1t is gravely asserted that if the
mother of twins buffers a piece OF
bread for a patient suffering with
whooping cough the little sufferer will
be speedily relieved upon eating it,.
Two of Mrs. Lowndes' sons are twins
The whooping cough is prevalent at
Annapolis. The door guardian at the
mansion is constantly kept answering
calls for pieces of bread and butter.
Mrs. Lowndes is too kind hearted to
refuse the requests of the supersti-
tious, and has used in this way many
pounds of delicious butter made on
the Governors fine farm near this
city.
Governor Lowndes, when asked
about the efficacy of the treatment,
laughingly replied. I'VE are curing
