Paying Tribute.

There was once a man who drank very
heavily; in fact he was known as a
drunkard. He lived in a small village,
and was generally admitted to be the bum
cf the town. One morning he started for
the hotel for his first drink, and as he en-
tered he saw the landlords children play
ing in the yard. Thew were bright-faced,
welldressed, clean and were children that
any father and mother might be proud of.
He stopped and looked at them. They
were romping, running and having good
time, and he could not help but admire
them. As he stood and watched these
children he could not help but contrast
them with his own children that he had
left at home-five ragged looking urchins.
They were dirty, barefooted, and their
clothes were tattered, and they were
really a disgrace to any man. He stopped
to think what was the difference between
the children. and he came to the rightful
conclusion that the difference was that in
stead of clothing and caring for his own
family he was clothing and caring for the
family of the rumseller He stopped. He
thought a moment. He turned and went
home, and has never drank a drop since.
One of his sons is now superintendent of
a division of large railroad. Another is
the confidential clerk in a banking house,
and the three daughters are well and re-
specially married.

The physicians and the surgeons
have thrown floods of light upon many
things in the causes and the treatment
OF the maladies which attack mankind,
and have cleared up many a mystery.
Their seif-sacrifice and zeal for the
benefit of the race are worthy of the
heartiest praise. And in what age were
there so many heroic men and women
who were willing and even eager to
brave death in submitting to expert
ments with the virus of yellow fever
and other diseases? What higher and
nobler types Of courage and devotion
can be thought of than those whose
lives have been cut short in the course
of the infection tests in Cuba? No
forlorn hopes were ever made up OF
braver souls, observes the New York
Tribune.

on the claim that saloon is public nuis-

is IN an excellent state Of preservation,

Perhaps the most curious result OF
a popular health fad is the sharp con-
flict of opinion which it has excited
among the physicians Some members
Of the profession, adopting the popu-
lar theory, maintain that the barefoot
habit not only is healthful, but insures
.he proper development and consequent
beauty of the exposed member; while
others hold that it is a dangerous and
needlessly risky experiment, which, in
any event, must produce large, un-
calmly, splay feet. In support of their
theory they argue that the feet of saw
age races are generally of vast and
dnsightly proportions. This is a ques-
ton for the anthropologists; but any
one with eyes in his head may be con-
vinced that mere are plenty of we'll
formed feet among the shoeless ur-
shins of the cities. The point Is not at
all likely that the world in general
will desert the shoemakers; but it may
ae asserted very confidently that it
Is better to wear no shoe at all than
one that is too tight or too narrow.

Cemeteries are choked with the
graves of men that brought them
selves to premature death through
worry. And the abodes of the living
are densely habited by half wrecks
and whole failure that came to this
melancholy condition through the same
agonizing process. Human records
will never show the number and class
of the millions that came into the
world with goodly prospects and fair
opportunities but that went down to
defeat under the weight of woes that
were never realized, or through the
Staying suspense which was more po-
tent to blast and intimidate than would
have been the actual happening Of the
danger feared. There is very little
doubt among medical men and even
anskilled laymen that the emotion com.

er as devastating and much more per-
sistent than those Of grief, disease or
overwork. reflects a writer in the Sun
