ANCIENT IiOMEASAS SUMMER
RESORT.

"Ancient Rome as a summer resort"
observes the New York Tribune, "was
in some things better off than modern
New York is now.
"Cicero and Virgil and Horace and
all their compatriots cast little light
raiment over their shoulders in hot
weather and it foated in graceful
waves. Their garments were sleeve
less and without starch. They wore
no collars around their necHs, no bands
upon their wrists, no stockings and no
hat, no close shoes. Their sandals
were open to all the winds that blew.
"And think of the Roman baths! No
other city ever known was so lavishly
supplied with opportunities for bath
ing. Those old Romans were not so
slow. Their water supply never ran
short and their aqueduct commission
ers never dallied with any schemes to
despoil the city treasury. In even the
most populous of the tenement districts
of the Eternal City in the times Of
Augustus and of the later Caesars
there was all the water on tap at all
times which man, woman or child could
desire.
"Aft all, is it certain that our i'm
perator and consuls and other great
officers of state do as much for the
common people of New York as the
rulers of the immortal city of Romulus
did for the masses on the banks of the
Tiber?'

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of socie-
ty, more numerous. The first effect
of the praiseworthy effort to keep up
with all these things is commonly seen
in a weakened or debilitatcd condition
of the nervous system, which results
in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of
both and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t
is clearly seen that what is needed it
what will sustain the system, give vi
gor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
tions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose.
1t acts on all tue vital organs, builds
up the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.
1t is true that love cannot he forced,
that it cannot be made to order, that
we cannot love because we ought to or
even because we want. But we can
bring ourselves into the presence of
the lovable. We can enter into friend.
ship through the door of friendship.
We can learn to love through service.

THEY CURE SMALLPOX.

The Philadelphia North American
says that the sisters of St. Joseph's
female orphan asylum of that city
have a preventive against smallpox
and all other contagious diseases, and
it adds that they are every day re-
ceiving scores of letters from afflicted
people and from physicians and scien-
lists who are interested. One of the
sisters was interviewed in regard to
the matter and she said that the drugs
used in the preparation have been in
use by the sisters for sixty years and
have been time and time again tested.
In all that time there has not been
single case of smallpox in the institu-
tian they maintain, and they believe
their curative is the cause Of their
good fortune.
The prescription, obtained by Moth
er Gongaza sixty years ago from
physician in Germantown, Pa, who
had in turn received it from a surgeon
and scientist in Paris whose name is
not recorded, is as follows: One grain
solid extract digitalis, one grain sui
phate of zinc, one half teaspoonful of
sugar, four ounces of water. Dissolve
the digitalis and the zinc separately,
then compound the prescription. 1t is
of the utmost importance that the SOL
id extract Of digitalis be used. Some
druggists say there is no such thing
and use the liquid, but this is value
less. The liquid does not produce the
results. The dose is one teaspoonful
every hour for twelve consecutive
hours for adults for child under 10,
the dose is one-balf teaspoonful hourly;
and for an infant ten drops every hour
for twelve hours. The sisters usually
repeat this treatment once a month
when smallpox is epidemic. The face
may be bathed with it, thus prevent
ing scars. 1t is claimed the digitalis
kills the germs of the disease and the
zinc purifies the blood. The prepara-
tion must be taken with care, as it is
very powerful. Some people complain
that it makes them sick. That is be-
cause their systems are not in good
condition, 1t will do them good con-
dition. 1t will do them good" The
remedy is worth trying, at least.

WISH FORNO MANS WEALTH

Il wish l had his money y said
young, hearty-looking man, as q mil
lionairc passed him in the street. And
so has wished many youth before
him, who devotcs so much time for
wishing, that too little is left for work
ing. But never does one Of these
draw q comparison between their sew
oral fortunes. The rich mans money
looms up like balloon before them,
hiding uncounted cares and anNieties,
from which they are fee: keeping out
Of. sight those bodily ills that luxury
breeds ard all the mental horrors of
cnnui and safety; the fear of death
that wealth fosters, the jealousy of life
and love from which it is inseparable.
Let none wish for un,arned gold. The
sweat by which It's gathered is the
only sweat by which it is preserved
for enjoyment, for in too literal sense
is it true, that tbs easier for a camel
to pass through the eye of a needle,
than for rich man to enter the king
dom of Heaven"
Wish for no mans money.
The health, and strength, and fresh
ness, and sweet sleep Of youth are
yours. Young Love, by day and
night, encrcles you. Hearts unsoiled
by the deep sin of covetousness, beat
fondly with your own. None-ghost-
like-listcn for the death tick in your
chamber; your shoes have value in
mems eyes-only when you tread in
them. The smiles no wealth can pur-
chase greet you-living; and tears
that rarely drop on rosewood collins,
will fall from pitying eyes upon you
dying. Be wise in being content with
competency. You have to eat, to
drink, to wear, enough? Then have
YOU all the rich man hath. What
though he fares more sumptuously :?
He shortens life-increases pains and
aches, impairs his health thereby.
What if his ralment be more costly ?
| God loves him none the more, and
mans respect in such regard comes
ever mingled with his envy.
Nature is yours in all her glory her
ever varying and forever beautiful face
smiles Peace upon you. Her hills and
valleys, fields and flowers; and rocks,
and SIRENS, and holy places--know no
dissertations in the step of poverty ;
but welcome ever to their wealth Of
beauty-rich and poor alike.
Be content! The robin chirps as
gaily as the gorgeous bird of pardise.
Less gaudy in his plumagc, less spen-
did-his surroundings. Yet no joy
that cheers the Eastern beauty, but
comes upon tho birren hills to bless
the nest that robin builds. His flights
as strong, his note as gay, and in his
humble home the light of happiness
shines all as bright. because no cloud
of envy dims. Let us, then, labor and
be strong-in the best use Of what we
have, wasting no golden hours in the
idle wishes for Things that burden
who own them and could not bless US
if we had them, as the gifts already
bestowed by wisdom that never errs
Being content, the poorest man is rich;
while he who counts his millions hath
little joy if he be otherwise.

5elert MisrrIlunq,
The Marshlands Mystery.

That my Uncle Joseph was an
eccentric man | had known since | was
a boy; and the two or three occasions
on which | had stayed at Marshlands
were among the most miserable periods
of my life. Later he quarrelcd with
all his relations except his brother
Fred, who had small house about
two miles from Marshlands.
Uncle Fred had married, late in life,
a widow with one daughter, and had
only one child, son. To Alice Wray,
his step-daughter, my youthful heart
was given the first time | met her.

ne FEARED he had LOST

When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chm
ese Minister to Washington, irritable and
somewhat forgetful from q severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had inad-
vertently donned his turban wrong side
before, and that the diamond was safe in
the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear
ing Benson's Porous Plaster on his chest
or back to cure his cold, he never would
have doubted its location. He would have
felt it doing its work,-warming and max
ing flexible the torpid muscles, extracting
the pain and soreness, promoting the free
circulation of the blood, stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and SO
dissolOing and banishing the malady. Thus

death.
The doctor came back to Marsh
lands with me and examined the dead
man.
II am afraid this is a case for the
police, Mr.. Martin. Your friend has
met with violent death, in my opin-
ion.'
"But how, doctor, how ?" | asked
almost beside myself.
"Suffocation," was the answer. "A
handkerchief saturated with poison
held over his mouth for few min
utes."
1t is wonder that | did not 60 mad
during the next few days. The cor
oner's jury returned verdict that
Basil had been murdered by some
person or persons unknown, and in
my uncle's case that he had died from
fright. Common gossip connected the
two. OF course, many people knew
how Uncle Joseph had left his money
and remembering that in the event of
my dying before marriage everything
was to go to my cousin, it was gener-
ally believed that Frederic Penfold
had obtained entrance to the library
and killed Basil Williams, believing
him to be me.
The conclusion seemed absurd, for
William and | were not alike. Still,
the suspicion was unpleasant, and
several explanations for such a mis-
take were given. The lamp may have
gone ont, or been turned out by Viii
liams because it smoked; and in the
light of the dying fire my uncle may
not have recognized strange, especial
ly as l was the only man likely to be
there. Another curious point was that
his constant absence from home in the
evenings could not be explained. l
found out that he seldom went to see
the vicar, and bad hardly ever entered
the doors of the Blue Pigeon. Both
deaths were mysterious.
1t was not until three years after
ward that any solution was forth
coming. Alice had been my wife for
two years, and, as was natural, the
library was kept locked. 1t was not
room that we cared to use. 1t hap
pened that we had the workmen in the
house, repairing detective drains, and
in putting them IN order it became
necessary to take up part of the library
floor, and to remove part of the massive
writing desk. We then discovered
that the side of the desk was secret
entrance to passage which led to an
overgrown corner of the woods about
forty yards from the house.
Probably Uncle Fred knew of this
passage, and had on many occasions
used it to be near and watch me, wait
ing his opportunity. My flesh creeps
now when I think of it. We found a
pocket-handkerchief in the passage
with Uncle Fred's initials upon it, 50
there is little doubt that the popular
belief was correct. No wonder Frede-
ric Penfold went mad when he met at
the sls.c that night. Neither Alice
nor Charley know about the hand
kerchief. The knowledge would give
my wife needless pain, and Charley is
too good fellow to have his faith in
his father DESTROYED.

A CKUsOE COINCIDENCE.

Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale calls
attention to some quaint and curious
features in connection with Robinson
Crusoc, which have not hitherto been
pointed out. He writes:
"Readers who are curious in Eng
lish history must not fail to observe
that Robinson Crusoe was shipwreck
ed on his Island the 30th of Septem-
Der, 1859. 1t vas in that month that
the English commonwealth ended, and
Richard Cromwell left the palace at
Whitehall. Robinson lived in this is
land home for twenty eight years COW
cred the exact period Of the second
Stuart reign in England. Robinson
Crusoe returned to England in June,
1857; the convention Parliament,
which established William H., met in
London at the same time. All this
could not be accidental coincidence.
Before must have meant the 'true-born
Englishman' could not live in England
during the years while the Stuarts
reigned. Robinson Crusoe was never
the subject of Charles III. or James II.
He was not man without country
because he had little country of his
own: but he was man in country
where there was no king but himself"
II hear said Mr.. kidtler, that
, there's fellow working on an inven-
tion which will make it utterly impos-
sible to mix milk and water" "What
will happen to you fellows il he sue
cceds?" Nothing" replied the can
did milkman, $50 long as he doesn't
prevent US from mixing chalk and
water"
Nell-"So the bride got lot of
presents, eh?' :'What did the groom
get?" Bell-:Oh, he just got mar
ricd."
