The Philadelphia Record tells story
of a physician of that city who was
called to see an old Irishman and his

quinine and whisky as an antidote.
"You must both take it," he said.
''Take it every three hours-two grains
of Quinine and a swallow of whisky"

"To the letther," replied the hus-

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
Political Sanction of What All

Political Sanction of What All
Agreed to BE a Good Thing.
One of the latest writings of the late
Charles Dudley Warner was an essay
for The Century, entitled "The Pursuit
of Happiness
Perhaps the most curious and inter-
esttng phrase ever put into q public
document is 1.-The pursuit of happiness"
1t Is declared to be an inalienable
right. 1t cannot be sold. 1t cannot be
given away. 1t Is doubtful If it could
be left by will.
The right of every man to be feet
high and of every woman to be 3 feet 4
was regarded as self evident until wo-
men asserted their undCubted right to
be feet high also, when some confu-
sion was introduced into this interpre-
tation of this rhetorical fragment of
, the eighteenth century.
But the inalienable right to the pur-
suit of happiness has never been Ques-
toned since it was proclaimed as a
new gospel for the new world. The
American people accepted it with en-
thusiasm, as if it had been the discov-
cry of gold prospector, and started
out in the pursuit as if the devil were
after them.
If the proclamation had been that
happiness is a common right of the
race, alienable or otherwise; that ali
men are or may be happy. history and
tradition might have interfered to raise
doubt whether even the new form of
government could so change the ethical
condition. But the right to make a
pursuit of happiness given in a funda-
mental bill of rights had quite differ
ent aspect. Men had been engaged in
many pursuits, most of them disas-
trous. some of them highly commenda-
bic. sect in Galilee had set uD the
pursuit of righteousness as the only or
the highest object of mans immortal
powers. The rewards of it, however.
were not always immediate. Here was
political sanction of a pursuit that
everybody acknowledged to be of a
/ good thing.

RIarveIoua Chicken Legs.

The mechanism of the leg and foot Of
a chicken or other bird that roosts on a
limb is q marvel of design. 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on a
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg of bird
that roosts is so arranged that when
the leg is bent at the knee the claws
are bound to contract and thus hold
with a sort of death grip the limb
around which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down, and you will
have a practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. By this singular arrangement,
seen only in such birds as roost, they
will rest comfortably and never think
of holding on, for it is impossible for
them to let go till they stand up.-Pres-
byterian.

A Sxmnathetic Memory.

In western Massachusetts town
lived a young woman who is blessed
with both discrimination and tact.
The first of these admirable quail
ties she has displayed by her two mar
riages. Her first husband was a min

and after a lapse of five or six years
she was united to his only brother. who
was a successful lawyer in New York.
On her library desk stands picture
of the first partner of her joys and sor-
rows, and one day a curious caller ask
ed whom the photograph represented.

dent emotion, sis picture of my nus

A recommendation that is not based
upon experience is without value but
in the following interview the reader

vice that is the result of personal
knowledge.
Mr. Ned Yerkes Hawley is a trav-
cling man whose home is at 1926 w.

recently had an experience of more
than general interest and in an inter
view with a representative of the
Spokesman-Review of Spokane, he
said:
"In June, 1899, 1 became bilious and
subject to dizzy spells. 1 had no ap-
petite, my heart seemed to fiutter at
times and beat irregularly, and dark
spots seemed to float before my eyes.
This continued for about six months.
During that time I was troubled with
lameness in my back and pains over
my kidneys 1 was under a physi-
clans care and he told me that my
trouble was biliousness and infiamma-
tory rheumatism. l was in bed for
over four weeks and did not seem to
be getting any better.

ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aanimation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. SaIves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
