LEGITIMATE STIMULATIoN.-The Office
or function of nutrition is essentially two
fold, embracing Digestion, Whereby food is
converted ultimately into blood and As

homogeneous solution, as preliminary to
its entering the bloodvessels, and becom-

it is dissolved in the stomach by the gas

Those surprise parties, somehow, near
ly always turn out unpleasantly. They
tell about one that came off in Connec-
ticut recently which was not half as
joyous as it should have been. It was
reported of a man and his wife, who
had been married many years without
having any children, that they had at
last been made happy by the birth of a
daughter. Some of their friends deter.
mined to give the man a presentation
surprise party. So about forty persons
marched up to the house one evening.
carrying cradle and lots of gum-rings,
and bibs, and bottles with gum nozzels,
and baby carriage, and some little
night-gowns, and a coral armlet, and a
gross of soothing syrup, and socks, and
paregoric. And when the man. in amaze
ment, asked them what they meant by
such conduct, they said they were CON-
ing in quietly SO as not to wake the
baby. And when the husband blushed
and stammered, and asked, "What ba-
by?" they said has baby, and began to
hand him the things. and to load him
up with soothing syrup and gum rings,
until he foored one of the guests with
quart bottle of paregoric, and held him
down until he explained. And then it
was revealed that it was all mistake
about the little daughter; that no such
arrival had taken place at all, but that
the report was false. And then the
surprise party was great deal more
surprised than the man was, and the
guests gathered up that infant furniture
and tried to pretend to the man that
they never thought he had daughter,
but that they understood he had accept
ed position as director of an orphan
asylum, and that they brought around
few things for him to distribute among
the poor, fatherless children. The man
said it was singularly thin, and then
the company went home. The Gonsti-
tutional Convention ought to adopt some
kind of measure to prevent these mis-
takes.

Money is hard, and that constitutes the
real business trouble at present. The
crops are abundant, manufactured goods
were going off well a few weeks ago,
the balance of trade was getting into
more favorable condition than for years
back But the shadow of the panic
shrunk up the amount of money in cir.
culation II is of no use TO urge capital
lists to let out their money again as free
ly as ever, because confidence, which the
panic showed to have been justly inn
paired to a considerable degree, has not
vet been restored. Great and risky IN
dertakings, therefore, even important
enterprises which do not happen to be
prosperous now, must suffer for want of
funds and add to the general suffering.
But the great lines of ordinary business
must still be carried on. if not so yigor-
ously and prosperonsly as heretofore,
vet In the best way possible. Anything
is better than total stagnation. Even
machinery deteriorates worse standing
still than when driven briskly and most
business men find it profitable in dull
times to keep moving as well as they
can.


This is particularly true of the great
body of retail dealers with whom the
community comes in contact. Money
comes hard with the people, they can do
without a great deal they have been ac-
customed 10 purchase; on the other hand
they know that the panic has resulted in
a shrinkage af values, and they natural
ly expect 70 see it manifested to some
degree in the articles of their daily con-
sumption. The wise dealer will meet
this expectation and thus retain bis Gus
toners, and possibly draw in new ones,
while working off his old stock and pre-
pairing to replenish at lower prices. A
leading New York firm, who promptly
reduced their prices ten per cent, and
made the fact known, report that the

takes his spade, and works him
self into a Precipitation, and she
tramps around under a frightful sun
bonnet, and gets under his feet and
shIieks at the worms, and loses her
shoe and makes him first vexed
and then mad, and then ferocious.
After the garden is spaded he gets
the seed, and finds she has been
thoughtful enough to open the pa
pers, and empty thirteen varieties
of different vegetables into one
dish. This leads him to step out
doors where he communes with ma
ture alone for a moment. Then he
takes up the seed and a hoe andline,
and two pegs, and goes to the gar
den. And then she puts on that
awful bonnet, and brings up the
rear with a long handled rake, and
a pocket full of beans and petunia
seed, and dahlia bulbs. While he
is planting the corn, she stands Oh
the cucumber hills and rakes over
the seed pan. Then she puts the
rake handle over her shoulder, and
the rake-teeth into his hair, and
walks over the other beds. He
don't find the squash seed until she
moves, and then he digs them out
of the earth with his thumb. She
plants the beet seed herself, put
ting about two feet of earth and
sod upon them. Then she takes
advantage of his absorption in 9TH
er matters, and puts down tho
petunia seed in one spot, and after
wards digs them up, and puts them
down in another place. The beans
she conceals in the earth wherever
she can find a place, and puts the
bulbs in the cucumber hills. Then
she tips over the seed pan again,
and apologies, and steps on two of
the best tomato plants, and says 40,

what he says. About this time she
discovers better place for tho
petunia seed, but having forgotten
where she last put them, and with
in an incredible short space of time
succeeds in unearthing pretty much
everything that has been put down.
After confusing things so there is
no earthly possibility of ever un-
ravelling them again, she says the
sun is killing her, and goes over to
the fence where she stands four
hours, telling the woman next door
about an aunt of hers who was con-
fined to her bed for eleven years,
and had eight doctors from the city,
