An Abrupt Proposal.

The reported fashion Of the famous
DIR. Abernethy's courtship and mar
rage is very characteristic. 1t Is told
that while attending lady for several
weeks he observed those admirable
qualifications In her daughter which
he truly esteemed to render the mar
ried state happy. Accordingly on a
Saturday. taking leave Of his patient.
he addressed her to the following pur-
port:
you are now so well that l need not
see you after Monday next, when l
shall come and pay you farewell WIS.,
It. But In the meantime l wish you
and your daughter TO seriously consid-
or the proposal l am about to make.
It is abrupt and unceremonious. l am
aware, but the excessive occupation Of
my time by my professional duties at
fords me no leisure to accomplish
what l desire by the more ordinary
course Of attention and solicitation.
Ny annual receipts amount to e.
and can settle e on my wife. My
character Is generally known to the
public. so that you may readily ascer-
tain what II 10. have seen In your
daughter a tender and affectionate
child, an assiduous and careful nurse
and gentle and ladylike member Of
family. Such person must be all
that a husband could covet. aud Of
fer my hand and fortune for her ac-
cenfance. On Monday when I call
shall expect your determination. for l
really have not time for the routine Of
courtship."
In this manner the lady was wooed
and won, and It may be added the
union was felicitous In every respect.

A FIGHTING WHALE.
Made splinters Of the Small Boats and
Sank the Ship.

Sank the Ship.
Among the tales OF the whale fish,
cry told by John Il. Spears In "rhe
Story OF the New England whalers'
is that OF the loss OF the Ann Alexan-
der Of New Bedford. This ship was
on the "offshore grounds" west of
Chile and Peru. when on Aug. 20. 1850.
pod" Of whales appeared. and three
boats were lowered, Captain John s.
Deblois going In one of them. The
mates boat soon struck one OF the
pod" but the monster instantly turn
ed with jaws open, and the men fed
overheard just In time to save their
lives. 4 moment later the whale bit
the boat to pieces.
Captain Deblols ut once pulled In,
picked up the boats crew and shifted
part OF them TO the second mates
boat. Then both the captain and Sec
ond mate started to attack the whale.
which had been busy meantime biting
at the pieces OF the boat II had de-
stroyed. In the usual course n whale
thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach OF the boats for Sec
ond attack, but this one had It's eyes
open, and 1t turned to meet the enc
my more than halfway.
Rushing forward with force and
speed that no boat could escape. 1t
grasped the second mates boat. as 1t
had that of the mate. and literally
made kindling wood of It.
When Captain Dcblols had once more
picked his men from the sea he head
ed for the ship, and when there he
sent the mate to gather up the oars
and such other debris as might have
escaped the fury OF the whale. In his
view 1t was his duty to fill his ship
with oil and not to "whale for glory"
as persistence in fighting whale OF
this kind was sometimes called.
The mate, however. was of more
reckless disposition. He managed TO
get within range of the whale and
thrust lance into It. Unfortunately,
however. he failed TO reach vital
point, and the whale. ignoring the
small boat, made a dash at the ship.
He struck her abreast of the foremost
and crushed In her side. She sank so
quickly that the crew was unable TO
secure anything, and they would have
persisted speedily In their open boats
but for the fact that they were picked
up by another whale ship.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Il Il An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess Of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases. il has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide gets at the joints from the in
side." sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide strikes the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold

Eleanor obeyed blind impulse.
With one reckless rush she left the Of

OF passing vehicles and across tho

A moment later she was lying white
on the pavement. blood trlckling from

was gaining no strength, the cheeks
were bloodless and the eyes listless

would like to ding aside his remedies
and try how kisses would redden the
pale lips.

An Old World Practice That Goes Back
to Bible Times.

An Old World Practice That Goes Back
to Bible Times.
"Salting" newly born infants. a prac.
tice that dates far back to Biblical
times, still obtains in many parts of
the old world. The Armenians In the
Russian government Of Eriwan cover
the whole surface Of the babes body
with fine salt. especial care being
taken with the interstices between the
fingers and all depressions, such as the
armpit and the bend of the knee, so
that no point shall remain unsalted.
The unhappy infant is left in the
salt for three hours or longer and Is
then bathed In warm water.
The Armenians OF some districts,
having abandoned the practice, are
called "unsalted" and are despised by
the others.
The modern Greeks also sprinkle
their babes with salt. II an enlight-
ened mother protests the midwife Is
ready with the objection, But II 1t
isn't salted 1t will be puny and will
never amount to anything"
II this sailing process is carried on
to excess the poor babes don't stand 1t
at all. The skin becomes as red as
fire, the irritation is intolerable, and
the child dies In commissions. Yet
there is n mountain tribe in Asia MI
nor that mercilessly salts its newborn
babes for twenty-four hours. which
shows that the limits OF human en-,
durance are wide In some cases. This
ancient custom Is still in vogue In
many parts Of Germany. but the rites
are merely symbolical. In one district
a little salt Is rubbed behind the
child's ears. in others pinch Of salt Is
put on the tongue or n little paper Of
salt is inserted under the garment. 1t
gives understanding. the people say.
and wards of evil spirits.
The action OF salt in keeping meat
sound no doubt is the reason that this
strengthening and sustaining power
was ascribed to 1t. The usage became
common In eastern countries, and II
was not entirely confined to them. The
prophet Ezekiel. referring to the de-
generacy of Jerusalem. says:
Neither vast thou washed In water
to supple thee; thou vast not sailed at
all nor swaddled at all"
To many oriental tribes this means
a grave omission OF parental duty
