Trading Ones Name.

There is difference between trading
ones name and trading on ones name.
The merchant who can buy on credit
because he has a creditahle reputation
knows something of the value OF good
name. He trades on it. But when that
same merchant puts his name to a
doubtful paper merely to save himself
the trouble OF refusing to do so, or when
he recommends man whom he ought
not to recommend, just because he
wants to he rid OF him, he iorgets the
value of his good name. He is trading
that name away for paltry considera'
ton. He is worse off than the Kwa
kiutl Indians of British Columbia, who
have recognized custom that permits q
debtor to pawn his name for year
during which time he is anonymous OF
under another name, but for the Christ
ian merchant or professional man who
pawns his good name there is little hops

The Oldest of Musical In Instruments.

The drum is the oldest of musical in.
struments. Turning back the pages OF
history to the earliest records Of savage
nations, each race is found to have in
vented it's instruments OF percussion.
The inverted bowls of the Sandwich
Islands and the holIc wed logs of the in
habitants OF the FIJI Islands were proto-
types OF the drum. In many lands it
was credited with divine origin. Not
more than hundred years ago il was
adored with profound veneration in
South America, being the only object OF
worship accepted by the natives stretch
ing their habitatons from the shores OF
the Orinoco 10 the La Plata. Even to-
day the drum is treated as god in the
interior of Brazil.
Away north IN the frozen regions Of
Lapland the drum adds to the charms OF
the native sorcerer. The instrument
makes him all-powerlul in the eyes OF his
superstitious followers. With its beats
he sends the souls of his believers wan
dering through green fields and pastures
new, while their uncovered bodies
traverse the snow and ice OF their native
territory. With the aid of the drum the
Lapland sorcerer foretells the future
happenings OF his people and the 81 cess
or failure of the hunting season.
In The land OF the Esquimaux The drum
expresses the passion OF the natives. n
there be any OF that 6erv quality lett un.
concealed by perpetual ice and snow
In the language ut the American Indian
the drum is an instrument OF affection
repeating with its monotonous beating
the old, old story that Hiawatha told
Minnehaha and that every Indian brave
whispers into the ear of every willing
Indian maiden.

Grip and Sulphur.

President George T. Angel OF the So
ciety for Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
mails has a timely letter in the Boston
Journal on the use Of sulphur to prevent
the grip. We give his letter in full:
see by the daily papers that there are
supposed to be someth hing like 100, 900
cases of grip in New York city, and that
it is also prevailing largely in Washing
ton, Philadelphia and other cities, ana Is
now threatening Boston.
1t is fact that when it was prevailing
as an epidemic largely in our city few
years ago ascertained by inquiry OF my
officers at Byams Match Factory that
of he 40 persons employed there not
one had been troubled by it. have at
various times told the press how MANY
persons at Memphis, Tenn. (lncludlng
the ag, nts of Howard Benevolent Asso.
ciation) escaped the terrible epidemic OF
yellow lever there las they claimed) by
wearing powdered sulphur in their
shoes; also the evidence OF distin'
quished German medical writer trans.
lated into English that wearing sulphur
in this way has proved complete pro-
lection against cholera aud other epl-
demic diseases, also that those working
the sulphur mines of Italy escape the
malaria which prevails all about them,
also that sulphur in the shoes has cured
cases of rheumatism which the doctors
could not cure, also that sulphur taken
internally or worn in the shoes has suffi-
Gent power to pass through the body,
the clothing and the pocket-b book, black
ening the silver there.
find in the London Lancet that no
less an authority than the president OF
the Institute of Civil Engineers Of Lon
don declares that the sulphurous vapor
produced by the combustion of coal IN
that city kills the disease germs IN the
atmosphere.
1t seems to me duty at this time to
again suggest as widely as possible,
through my own paper and others, that
sulphur is very cheap, and that whether
it destroys or keeps out germs OF disease
from the body or only acts upon the
imagination it cannot do much harm to
try it.
In the Scott County (Mississippi) Reg
lister of June / 5 last will be found an ac-
count OF how the agents ct the Howard
Benevolent Association at Memphis es
capped yellow lever by weering sulphur in
their shoes.
Half a teaspoonful of powdered sui
phur in each shoe or stocking is con-
sidered to be sufficient.
