Health and Morals.

The close relation of body and mind
in the matter of physical health, of
which so much is said by various re-
ligious and semi-religious organiza-
tons and by a class of professional
'healers,' is considered from a fresh
point of view by an English clergy
man. His argument is that no person
who is healthy can be wholly bad.
The clergyman further expressed
the conviction that there is a close
connection between health and morals
and that the man who has reached
middle age in sound bodily condition
thereby proves that he has led a de
cent life. In support of his position
he advanced the assertion that a large
proportion of the convicts in English
prisons are physical degeDerates. From
this it would seem that he does not
conf1ne his designation of badness
to the vices involved in intemperance
and other forms of sensual dissipation,
but, since convicts are guilty of many
things apart from these, as theft, bur
glary, forgery and the ike, holds that
they are led to the preparation Of
even this class of crimes by a defe,e
tive bodily state indianapolis Star.

PENDARVIS, THE CRACKER

the last tree, fate wheeled upon him,
and he heard the voice of the north
erner behind him, saying, in amaze
ment, rather than anger: Pendants,
what are you doing?"
Pens rights in those trees were at
once relinquished in favor of their
owner, and without a word. Having
convinced himself, with one long,
open-mouthed stare, that this was
man of flesh and blood, Pen, without
deigning so much as single word of
reply, slouched off toward his cabin,
leaving his spade behind.
Next morning, when the sheriff drew
rein at the door and said, simply:
Pen, they want you to go over to
the county seat with me-" the crest
fallen man made no attempt at resist
ance. His case was soon disposed of
by the court, and at the suggestion Of
! the sheriff that he had always been
law-abiding citizen, and that his
family was large, he was let off with
only five years in the penitentiary.
Pendarvis needed no manaoles, but
took his fate as calmly as he did his
tobacco or his sleep; and as the pen
itentiary was almost 200 miles from
this county seat, the sheriff, knowing
his man, decided to take him home
for the night.
The next day, as the sheriff had 9TH
er and pressing business to attend
to. he informed his prisoner that he
had better go hunting for a day or
two until there should be more leisure
for the journey. But instead of two
days, it was fully two months ere the
sheriff found an opportunity to move
his man. During all this time Pan
had lived with the sheriff, split his
wood, run his errands, and kept his
table supplied with fish and game.
Indeed, Pen began to think that his
luck had not gone so much against
him after all, when one morning the
sheriff announced that he must be off

Milk, and nothing else, is the latest
cure for stout peoISe. Prof. F. Moritz
OF Strasburg, the pioneer Of this new
dietary, declares positively that an ex-
elusive diet of milk is the simplest,
the most comfortable and cheapest
remedy for obesity. A limited quantity
of water may be taken, but, with this
exception, the patient takes absolutely
no food or drink but milk. The allow
ance varies in individual cases, from a
little over two pints to II pints daily.
taken at five separate meal times"
Milk is filing and satisfying, and the
patient suffers neither from hunger
nor thirst. The cure is easy for the
doctor to direct, and makes no great
demands on the patient to carry out.
AS for it's efficacy, Prof Moritz says
that one patient lost Sc pounds in 81
"cure days." an average of more than
half a pound daily. The cure is said
to be especially beneficial in all cases
when the patient has any heart or
kidney trouble.

at once to the next county TO attend
trial, and that as it was on the road
to the penitentiary, he would take
Pendarvis along. Several days were
passed at the trial, and Pen, IN
known in a strange county, attended
the sittings of the court as a specta-
tor. When at length the trial closed,
the sheriff found that it would be in
convenient for him to escort his pris-
oner farther toward the prison, so.
giving Pen his own commitment pa
pers and ten dollars for expenses, he
started him off alone.
In due course of time-for it takes
time for a Cracker to walk, and there
being no railroad most of the way,
Pen was obliged to go afoot-he
turned up at the penitentiary. The
warden was dumfounded, but took
him in and undertook to put him to
work. Unfortunately, this officer did
not know the Cracker nature as well
as had the sheriff Pen allowed"
that he was a prisoner, but not a
niger, and simply refused to work.
Neither threats nor promises had any
effect. At last it occurred to the
WarueH lHdI d Indn WIN cuulu DC ITuSI-
ed to walk 200 miles and surrender
himself with his commitment papers
at a prison, simply because he was
told to do so, must be a trustworthy
person, and he thereupon appointed
Pen warden's messenger. During his
term Pen served his state on many
important errands, bearing messages
to neighboring county seats, and
often making journeys which kept
him away for several days at a stretch.
But, like a faithful hound, he never
failed to return, and when at length
his term was up, the warden, forsooth
was forced to kick him out. Why
should a Cracker wish to leave this
delightfully."- lazy, irresponsible life for
one of toll and hardship?

THEM LAST
PROPER METHODS OF LAUNDER,
ING DELICATE FABRICS.
Silk and Lace centerpieces Easily In
Iniured-Linen Should Be Shrunk-
en- Before 1t is Stamped or
Embroidered.

The table center of to-day is very
different from that of a few years ago.
There are many more varieties than
the all-embroidered or all-lace center
pieces of the past.
Nowadays, different kinds of nets
and laces are inserted in the linen,
and combined with solid embroidery
or fancy stitches and also with braids,
which are coming into fashion again.
These make centerpieces and en-
broidery in general much simpler, yet,
at the same time, more effective.
They can also be made with less ex-
pense if the proper combinations are
used. Solid embroidery done with
silks, either in colors or white, is
handsomer than any other kind.
For table centers for everyday use,
which must be Numbered constantly,
the alhwhite linen center, worked in
merceriZed or plain cotton, with fancy
stitches and simple braids, makes an
effective and inexpensive article.
1t is easy for anyone knowing little
or even nothing about embroidery in
general to make.
The linen should be shrunken be-
fore it is stamped or embroidered, es-
pecially any piece that is made to
special size or a particular shape A
circular center will not remain round
unless it has been shrunken before it
mas been marked, for linen shrinks
more one way than another.
When a center or any embroidered
piece of linen is Numbered, it should
be pressed while damp on the wrong
side until thoroughly dry.
If the ironing board or table is Gov
cred with several thicknesses OF
blanket the embroidery will then stand
out and look very handsome after the
piece has been pressed.
1t is best to use a piece of flannel
when dampening the linen, as it is
softer than linen or cotton and fresh.
ems up the linen wonderfully. Unless
piece of work has become very
much soiled while being worked, it is
much better not to wash it before it is
pressed.
When finished, the center should be
dampened and pressed before the seal.
lop is cut out, thus enabling the linen
to be cut closer to the scallop without
danger of cutting the stitches or leav-
ing ragged edge beyond the scallop.
This usually happens if it is cut out
before it is pressed.

The loss of money through the defal-
cation of M. Albert, former minister
OF justice in Denmark, heavy though
it is, is not the greatest injury his
course will cause. He was a tremen-
dously popular man, the peasants in
particular having confidence in his in
tegrity and financial judgment. The
failure of the bank of which he was
the head. through his reckless specu-
lations and entertainments, means a
total loss of about $4,000. 900. much of
which consists of small savings OF
poor people. These people will suf-
fer for the lack of their money, but
they will suffer a greater injury in the
loss of confidence in one whom they
trusted, loss that will be manifested
hereafter by distrust OF better men
than he. The evil that such a man
does lives after him.

all forms of so-called inanimate nature
may have intelligence whereby they
communicate with each other. He

1t is characteristic of Lord Rose

attacking most of the reform policies
OF his party. he should propose the re-

dition of a limited number of eminent
representative commoners" by cleo
ton for the duration of any parlia-
ment. with eligibility for reelection.
What is to be accomplished by elect

house of Tory lords? If the heredi-
tary principle holds good clear through
the peerage as by law comforting the
exclusive right to legislate. the cleo
ton of untitled members must be
wrong.
