A Sermon and q Suicide.

A good many men are worth more
dead than living. In New York
hotel the other day young man
made his will and then committed
suicide. Here is the will
Il leave to society ruined char
acter. leave to my father and
mother, as much misery as, in their
feeble state, they can bear. l leave
to my brothers and sisters the mem
DRY of my mispent life. leave 10
my wife broken heart, and to my
children the memory that their
father fills drunkard's grave and
has gone TO a drunkard's hell. /"
In way it is good will. 1t is
a sermon written on coffin, and it
ought to reach a good many men
who are fools, who know they are
fools and who would rather drift
than pull up.

WINE OF CARDUll
The Voice of Experience.

The brides mother was visiting her,
and together they sat in the sewing
room. The bride was fixing the sleeve
lining of her husbands overcoat.
"Well, think that's neat job" re-
marked the bride, as she finished her
task.
The mother examined it and shook
her head solemnly.
"You don't like it?" suggested the
bride.
"Its too we'll DONE" was the reply.
"Too we'll doneW
eyes; it's tailor's job"
'But if l can do it as we'll as a tail

Slang phrases have history as
well as legitimate words. AS a
general thing slang is emphatic.
The emphasis results in great part
from condensation. A sentence is
cut down to one, or at most to a
very few words, and the expression
used as an exclamation. The drink
ing expression, Here's ho!" is
probably taken from the Bible
Isaiah, 1v:1-"Ho, every one that
thirsteth!" The Indian is called
10" from Pope's verse: "Lo the
poor Indian whose untutored taste"
Rats, . is an expression originated
in the strikes" when non-union
men were contemptuously referred
to as rats"

A Feminine Mystery.

Among the minor mysteries of life
Is the bewildering fact that, as rule,
the tall woman Is of melancholy dis
position, while her smaller sister is Of
bright, brisk and cheerful tempera-
ment. Science, so far as we know, has
never addressed itself to the solution of
this puzzle and the amateur philoso-
pher is therefore left to cudgel his brain
and marvel. Why length of limb should
make for solemnity and melancholy,
says a writer on this subject, is hard to
determine. Length of limb seems TO
suggest to the mind the need for
stateliness of department, which never
troubles the consciousness Of "the small
and tubby." We are left to conclude
that the feminine side of our nation,
which is rapidly becoming famous for
it's extreme height, will some day be-
come as serious and gloomy as Quakers
and then we shall take our pleasures
Enresadly. than ever.-London Globe.

Rousseau.

Rousseau was a type of the melan-
cholic temperament, assuming some
times the symptoms of veritable pa
thetic insanity. He sought to realize
his phantoms in the least susceptible
circumstances. He saw everywhere en-
emies and conspirators, frequent in the
first stages of insanity. Once, coming
to his sailing vessel in England, he in
terpreted the unfavorable winds as
conspiracy against him, then mounted
an elevation and began to harangue the
people, although they did not under
stand a word he said. In addition to his
fixed ideas and deliriant convictions
Rousseau suffered from attacks Of
acute delirium, sort of maniacal excl
tation. He died from apoplectic attack.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way 10 cure Deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

ease, and should be treated as such.
This idea does not, however, bar
moral treatment, which has been
found to be eficacious in dealing
with many distinct ma1adies. While
the condition of the confirmed
drunkard may be pathological, there
is no doubt that in a vast number
of instances it depends on the man S
environment whether he shall be-
come victim of the disease-ine-

Because he uses them. 1t is natu-

plies to our brains. The portions
of our brains that we use will grow

ing true, would we have the disease
