The Business Instinct.

Too many people IRE accustomed to
think Of politeness in address as ap-
propriate in company, but quite out Of
place In business. An engaging man
ner Is useful everywhere.
This axiom is amusingly illustrated
by a story which Justin Mccarthy
tells. Soon after the civil war, he
says, l happened to be standing on a
bridge in New York amusing myself
by studying the crowd, when a shrill,
youthful voice accosted me with,
"Cap'n, shine yer bootsw
The chance distribution of military
titles was ready and liberal ut the time
when so many soldiers were returning
to civilian life, and I paid no attention
to the invitation.
Just then a rival bootblack passed,
ind, imagining where the cause Of my
Indifference lay, he advanced, and,
pushing past the unsuccessful claim
ant, he gave me a military salute and
appealed to me with the captivating
words:

A Change All Around,

"There goes a party that will be

young man who was going down the
street. He has managed to keep his
head In love and financial matters, and
they are the two great tests.
1.-TWO months ago he was a young
man with all the world before him and
with no prospects ahead of him except
a determination to fight life's battles.
"He al in love with n young lady
living In this city, but his financial con-
dition prevented him from declaring
his passion; besides he was not sure
that the young lady In question cared
for him.
but by one of those curious turns of
the wheel of fortune an old aunt, that
he had never seen, died and left him a
large sum of money. Without delay no
called upon the young lady and asked
her to marry him, saying nothing
about the fortune that had been left
him. He met with a point blank re.
fusal.

his unexpected windfall and wrote him

The Development Of the Skin.


By almost constant ~overcovering day
and night for successive generations the
skin has by degeneration adapted itself
to it's reduced requirements. From birth
to senile death we are much overcov-
cred. That a full and vigorously de-
veloped skin is a desideratum will be
generally conceded. The tendency is for
ours to degenerate to a tissue paper
consistency. The exquisite structure Of
the skin at once indicates its impor-
lance as n Of the organs Of the body.
A homely showing Of that functional
power which can be developed in the
skin is indicated by the story Of the In
dian. Being almost naked and yet APP
parently quite comfortable in Indictment
weather he was asked why he did not
seem to suffer and be made i'll by the
exposure, he replied: white mans
face no pain no sick. Indian all face. y
BY this excessive covering our periph.
eral nerves r too intensely impressed
by caloric changes, u capillary blood
system too feebly and incompletely de-.
veloped to battle most successfully with
heat, disease and traumatic impressions.
It's muscular fat and connective tissue
substance are all too deficient and de.
fective for our greatest comfort and
welfare. All its functional powers have
been reduced. Yet seldom is heard a
cry to develop the skin. -Philadelphia

Outwitted the Lunatic.

While residing at Rome I paid a visit
to the lunatic asylum there, and among
the more remarkable patients n was
pointed out to me who had been saved
with much difficulty from inflicting
death upon himself by voluntary star
walton in bed, under the impression that
he was defunct, declaring that dead
people never eat. It was soon obvious
to all that the issue must be fatal, when
the humane doctor bethought Of the
following stratagem: Half a dozen Of
the attendants, dressed in white shrouds
and their faces and hands covered with
chalk, were marched in single file with
dead silence into a room adjoining that

Custer's Inutan Attack.

The late Charles Osborn, the New

visited the general at his camp on the
plains. During One Of the Indian cam.
paigns he invited Osborn and n party
of friends out to Kansas and, after Civ
ing them q buffalo hunt, arranged a
novel experience in the way of an In
dian scare. As Osborn was lying In
his tent one night firing was heard Mt
the outposts and the rapid riding Of
pickets. Boots and saddles" was the
order in the disturbed atmosphere Of
the night, and Custer appeared to Os-
born loaded with rife, two revolvers, n
saber and a scalping knife.

But Custer was gone and the camp,
by shrewd arrangement, burst into n
blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoops
were intermiXed until suddenly n
painted object lOomed on Osborn's
sight, and something was flung into his
face-a human scalp. He dropped to

died away and there was exposed n

A Perfect Diagnosis.

DR.. George Fordyce, who came IN
1862 from Edinburgh to London, very
speedily made himself Il name by II
series Of public lectures on medical sci
ence, which he afterward published in
a volume entitled. Elements of the
Practice Of Physics" which passed
throuais many editions. Unfortunately
he was given to drink, and, though he
never was known to be dead Trunk.
yet he was often In Il state which
rendered him unfit for professional du-
ties.
One night when he was in such Il
condition he was suddenly sent for 10
attend a lady OF title who was very
i'll. He went, sat down, listened to her
story and felt her pulse. He found he
was not UP to his work. He lost his
wits and in n moment Of forgetfulnrss
exclaimed, Drunk. by Jove!!" Still he
managed to write out n mild prescrip-
ton.
Early mex morning he received 4
message from his noble patient to call
on her at once. Dr.. Fordyce felt very
uncomfortable. The lady evidently in.
tended to upbraid him either with an
improper prescription or with his dis
graceful condition. But to his sur
prise and relief she thanked him for
his prompt compliance with her press
ing summons and then confessed that
he had rightly diagnosed her case, that
unfortunately she occasionally indulg-
ed too freely in drink, but that she
hoped he would preserve inviolaE!e Sc
crecy as to the condition he had found
her in. Fordyce listened to her grave
as a judge and said:"You may depend
upon me. madam. | shall be as silent
as the grave."-Gentlemnn's Magazine.
