V hen You Write Abroad,

In writing to France or Italy, {. post i:iaster pointed out the other day. the address should be printed. for the .,Hinted cfara ctcrs of French, Italian .s.sl English are alike. but of the writ se.l ones this is not true The capital letter T. for instance. is written i'll France and Italy like C. The tor stroke is El%Ge as With us, but the Downward stroke curves to the right instead of to the left. Our C is taken for T abroad. Our T is taken for or ]. It is important therefore to print instead of to write proper names ou foreign letters. A letter addressed in writing 10. for instance. q iii;ln named Treat would be thoNss!.t by the French a.d Italian to be addressed; to Treat and in the general delivery department 1f the postot!ice it would be placed in the I instead of in the T compartment HIS when MT Treat called for his mail a search of compartment T would reveal nothing for him, and his letter, hidden among the Is, would never be delivered

Let the Children Play.

It is too often true of the unhappy children who are forced to rise too ear ly in their classes that they are con ceited all the forenoon of life and stu pid all it's afternoon. The vigor and freshness which should have been stor- ed up for the purposes of the hard struggle for existence in practical life have been washed out of them by pre- cocious mental debauchery-by glut- tony and lesson bibbing. Their facul- ties are worn out by the strain put upon their callow brains, and they are demoralized by worthless childish tri- umphs before the real work of life be- gins. have no compassion for sloth, but youth has more need for intellectu- al rest than age, and the cheerfulness, the tenacity of purpose, the power of work, which make many successful man what he is, must often be placed to the credit not of his hours of indus try, but to that of his hours of idleness in boyhood.-Huxley.

|HE CAUGHT THE OAR AND JERKED SCAN LON OVEHBOARD.

|stolen. Charles Williams, one of a
 gang of workmen painting the bridge,
 saw four men leaving the paint shop.
 and he informed Patrolman McKenna.
 Mckenna turned in q call that brought
 the reserves of the Alexander avenue
 police station. \ united rush was
 made on a sand scow tied up near the
 bridge, on which it was thought the thieves had taken refuge. Four men
 were surprised in the cabin of the scow. Three were captured, but the fourth, who was Thomas. darted up the ladder and went head first into the river.
 He swan to pier fifty feet east of the bridge and hid behind pile. Roundsmen Scanlon and McNamara found two> rowboats tied to the scow, and, with painters and patrolmen at the oars, they started out in pursuit. The river was wrapped in the thick darkness just preceding dawn, and several minutes passed before the roundsmen made out Thomas, with his arms around the pile. The instant a light was turned on him he dived. Swimming under boat, he came up close to the bridge. The boats were directed at him from opposite sides. Again he went under and came up sixty feet distant from the nearest skiff. A dozen times he eluded them.
 The roUndslnen were about to aban- don the search when he was seen clinging to the rudder of the tugboat George F. Moser at the west side of the Central bridge. When caught in the food of light Thomas climbed to the deck. of the tug He was about to make dash for land when a police man confronted him. having climbed to the tug over the bow Though the rowboats were within few feet of the tug, Thomas dived between them and this time tried to find safety by re maining in the middle of the river Finally Roundsman Scanlon found himself close to the swimmer and. exasperated at the length "f +h" "I

Rogers as a Story Teller.

Charles Dickens used to describe the way in which Samuel Rogers, the poet, told dinner table stories when grown old and feeble. A manservant stood behind Rogers chair and at appropri- ate intervals would thus admonish his master: Tell MT. Dickens, sir, the sto- ry of the Hon. Charles Townshend and the beautiful Miss Curzon." The old poet would start in slow chant: "The Hon. Charles Townshend became enam- ored of Miss Curzon. She was bee yewtiful. He be-ribed her maid to con- ceal him in her chse- amber and when she arrived to dress for ball emerged from his hiding place. She looked at him fixedly, then said, Why don't you begin?' She took him for the air dresser

Becoming widower before he was thirty my father married again at the age of seventy-ive. ] was born next year. I am at present ninetyfour years old. If you will make the neces- sary calculation by adding my age, ninety-four, to the number fifty-six. which is the difference between seven tyfive and nineteen, the ages of my father at the time of his respective marriages, the result will be exactly 15O.

Medicine.

Throw out opium. said Dr. Holmes, which the Creator himself seems to prescribe for we often see the scarlet poppy growing in the corntiells, as if 1t were fore&ean that wherever there is hunger to be fed there must also be pain to be soothed: throw out a few specifics which our art did not discover and is hardly needed to apply; throw out wine, which is food and the vapors which produce the miracle of anaesthesia, and I firmly believe that If tue whole materia medica as now used could be sunk to the bottom Of the sea it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes.
 The shortest system of medical prac- tice that 1 know of is the oldest, bat not the worst. It is older than Hip operates, older than Chiron the Cen taur.

 ALha0sT AS COMMON IN sUMMER AS IN WINTER

While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter inteusitles the pains and other disagreeabe symptoms of Rheumatism, 1t is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long months ot Summer its wandering pains and tWch- ing nerves are felt by those i'll whose blood the uric acld which produces the disease has accumulated.
 Rheumatism Is disease that involves the ell- tire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming i'll contact with the different acids of the body forms ur1e ae1d which IS taken Up and absorbed by the blood This acid causes fermentation of the blood making it sour and unfit for properly nourshing the body and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body the poison Is distrib uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich pure blood the skin becomes fe- verlsh and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and general diseased condition ot the entire system is the result.
 Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases with its swollen stiff joints tl,rohhi,g muscles and stinging nerves, but 1t $ a formidable and dangerous trouble If the uric acid Is a flowed to remain i'll the blood and tie disease becomes chr and they are rendered i1n1llovaJle and stiff a?d Every day the poison remains i'll the system tc dis to get rid of Rheumatism is i:l warm weather; h1ca the skin IS more active and better asst III the proper remedy to force the acid out of tie boo strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other org manently cured.
