LONGING FOR COUNTRY LIFE.
Desire Is Almost Universal Among
 Successful Men.

A strange thing is the universal longing of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered, as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do not return, and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man himself, but he thinks 1t is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end ones days is very general.
 Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of man through the world to that of the hare which is started from her lair. and after a long chase and making large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started.

Psssinu Beliefs,

Read the famous chapter in Victor Hugo's Shakespeare" about the pre- else knowledge of the world and the universe as imparted by the philoso- phers and learned men of Greece, and you will wonder how the science of this century will be regarded by the men of 2500 A. D.
 You smile at odd medical prescrip- tions. Here is one of the seventeenth century: "Earthworms slit and cleansed and cut in pieces and chopped, a good mess of pottage made thereof witt oatmeal and water and eaten by them that have the black iaundice, doth perfectly cure them thereof, though it is never so long rooted. This is very true and hath been oftentimes proved" Yet we read in a contemporary that the thyroid gland of a sheep is an excellent thing to stimulate men and women to curiosity and desire to study

A SCHEME OF JOHNS.
Fear of Landiady Greater Than HIs
 Love of Sleep.

John was a sleepy-head, so celebrat. ed, indeed, that he had never been known to wake up by what his family called natural process. So when he went off to college it was only natural that he should be presented with alarm clocks from two of his numer. ous aunts.
 One will be enough, dear" said his mother, but John took them both
 He set the alarm of one at the hour of rising and placed 1t at the head of his bead; the other he set 15 minutes later, and each night placed it at the head of the stairs outside of his land lady's door. Then he wrote home an account of how it worked.
 As his alarm went off in the morn ing his first thought was that the clock on the stairs would make itself heard in 15 minutes This aroused him so fully that he was able to spring out of bed on the instant.

MARK TWAIN ADMITS IT,
!e,~ if Was Not Right to Give Cat "pain-KiIler."

It was not right to give the cat .+ho "Pain-Killer." 1 realize it now IT would not repeat it in these days Rn, in those ''Tom Sawyer" days il was a great and sincere satisfaction lto me to see Peter perform under its l;nAuence-and if actions do speak os loud as words, he took as much interest in it as I did. It was a most detestable medicine, Perry Davis Pain-Killer. MT. Pavey's peoro man, who was a person of good judgment and considerable curiosity, wanted to sample 1t, and I let him. It was his opinion that fl was made of hell-fre.
 Those were the cholera days ol '4e. The people along the Missis. Isipni were paralyzed with fright Those who could run away, did it And many died of fright in tho flight. Fright killed three persons where the cholera killed one. Those iwho couldn't flee kept themselveI drrnched with cholera preyentives and my mother chose Perry Davis ,Pain-Killer for me. She was mol distressed about herself. She avoid.  ed that kind of preventive. But sht made me promise to take spoonful iof Pain-Killer every day. Original. ly it was my intention to keep tho promise, but at that time I didn1 lknow as much about Pain-Killer al \ knew after my first experiment with it. She didn't watch Henry, 'boitle--she could trust Henry. But she marked my bottle with a pencil ion the label, every day, and exam. ined it to see if the teaspoonful hac been removed. The floor was no carpeted. It had cracks in it, ant I fed the Pain-Killer to the crack, with very good results-no choleri occurred down below.-North Amer ican Review.

Wanted No Small Deposits.

There's a young fellow up in liar lem, says the New York Globe, who is inclined to throw bluff," as they say down in the Bowery. A few days ago he had $500 to deposit, and decided he'd change his bank. He dropped into bank that is well known to accept no small deposits and told the teller that he wanted to open an account.
 We don't accept small deposits, said the teller, and his tone was not exactly what might be called sooth' ing.
 Who asked you to accept a small deposit?" demanded the youth. T did want to start an account with $50, 900, but I'll go elsewhere" He got out before he could be stopped. leaving the teller with look of pain and cha grin scattered about his countenance

Love and the Man.

Men are delighted to be told that they are never absent from the thoughts of their sweethearts. but the husband finds this consciousness a trine wearing. As bad as the clinging vine Is the woman who makes her de votion too incessant. She is never tactful, never conscious that he wants to be alone occasionally. never capa- bls of making herself and her afec- tions a novelty to him. And this is fatal error on the part of any woman.
