• u* A PILE LfTBEARY MAN. BTOmP. BlUft A pale young man has just left me. He came in with that -pretended timid* behind which always larks strong ityl self- air which plainly showed his disgust. His was a literary errand. He came to sell me a large shipment of m&nu- ; * script. I did not buy the shipment. This was, perhaps, an oversight on a - my part, but still I may never regret it '* There comes more regret from baying than from declining to buy literary ? , matter. 4 < After telling me that he had written f > a great many "pieces," some of which had been published, he remarked that he had a story on hand which he knew would please me. Oh, what a welcome . visitor is the man who comes to tell us - of the labor his pen has performed! "I ^ sent my story to an Eastern publica* ; tion," said he, as he twisted a few hairs that grew near one corner of his ny>uth, "but did not succeed in making , a successful dicker." Oh, what a liter­ ary expression! "The editor," he con­ tinued, "thought that I wanted to pull his leg too hard." "Do what?" I asked. "Full his leg too hard--charge liim too much. He liked the story. Said it was one of the finest things he ever read, but he couldn't afford to pay me my price. However," he generously added, "it is not my intention to charge you as much as I did him. You see, I like your paper. One of the best- edited sheets in the country. Every­ thing one finds in it is worth reading, which, you must admit, is Baying a great deal, for literary publications are not what they used to be. My father used to write for the pr^ss, and I shouldn't wonder but I got the trick from him. Such things,you know,run in families. I didn't bring my story with me. Thought I'd call and see whether you wanted it or not. Always like to make sure, you know." "How do you expect me, not having read the story, to tell you whether or not I want it ?" "Then I'll go and bring it up." "No, never mind, I " "No trouble, I assure you. This is one of my loafing days." "Mv dear sir," I replied, "I don't think that I will be here when you re­ turn. I have an engagement, and " "All right, then, I will tell you about it. I've got a first-rate memory and can give you all the fine points anyway." As the foiled stage villian remarks, "Curse him!" He stood near my desk, and in commencement-exercise decla­ mation began to recite his "dry rot." Of course, it told of a young man who sprang to his feet and exclaimed: "Then you will not marry me! Oh, I see it all now. Fool that I was. I know that you love your cousin, Alger­ non L. De Lacey. I hate him (pro­ nounced I ha tim.) Ildegrate, fair, false one, I have been thy slave, and I must go out into the cold, cold, dreary, dreary world." "My, dear sir," said I, "you must really excuse me. I left a pair of pan­ taloons at a tailor's shop this morning to have them patched, and I must go and get them before he closes up. I am going to a fashionable reception this evening and will need them." He paused, just in the act, 1 thought, of turning in his mind the twenty- seventh page, and told me to wait a moment. "There is a scene near at hand I do not want you to miss. Lis­ ten. 'Your cousin has been playing a • double game'--mark that, will you?-- a double game, understand--'and I will crush him. But I cannot find it in my heart to harm a hair of thy false but shapely head, Ildegrate.' False and shapely head, don't you see ? The average writer would not present such a picture. Head being shapely and at the same time false brings up the pict­ ure in a vivid glare. 'You are safe, Il­ degrate, but as for Algernon L. De Lacey, let him beware " "Of the dog," I could not help but suggest. My visitor's lips quivered. "Who said anything about a dog?" he asked in a suppressed voice. "I like to see you evince interest,but I do not care to have you anticipate. 'Let him beware, * for '" "My dear sir," I said, "it is unneces­ sary to prolong this recital. I do not - want the story." "Then why have ybu kept me here all thi3 time reciting it ? Do you sup­ pose I haven't anything to do but to go round entertaining people? Think my time is worthless? Your paper don't amount to anything, any way. Yon print a lot of stuff that nobody reads, and refuse literature of merit. There are certain kinds of chuckleheads that are amusing," he added, when he had reached the door, "but there are other kinds that ought to be expunged from the record." ' That pale young man is one of a very large class, bolder, perhaps, but not more persistent. The determina­ tion of some vain and inexperienced persons when, without the least train­ ing, they decide to earn bread with the pen, carries the appearance, even though softened in portrayal, of ex­ treme exaggeration. A Day's Work. The amount of work some people get through is simply enormous. Few people are harder worked than a Lon­ don physician in active practice. We know a doctor who seldom gets more than four hours sleep out of twenty- four. He says that it is not that he couldn't do with more, but it is as much as he can get Many busy men are constantly a* work of some kind or the 1 other from eight in the morning till past twelve at night Some, of course, break down, but others can do this year after year, apparently without any detriment to their health. Instances are known of professional men who have not slept for five days together, . and who have not been in bed for three weeks at a time. These sound almost like travelers' tales, but they are true, although, of course, they are excep­ tional cases. It is astonishing what in­ terest and energy will do in enabling a man to dispense with rest It has been said that the twenty-four hours might be advantageously divided into three equal parts--eight hours for sleep, eight for meals, exercise, recreation etc., and eight for mental work. Few men really require more than eight hours' sleep, but the majority of us have to do considerably more than eight hours'work in the day. It is not so . much that a man wishes for the work, as that it is forced upon him. He, per­ haps, is the only person who can per­ form a certain duty, and when, as is often the case, it is a question of life and death, it is almost impossible to refuse. j, Many people can never force them- / selves to do more than a certain amount of mental work; they get nervous and headachy, and then it is all over with them. Forced work, as a rule, tells on a man much more rapidly than purely voluntary work, for in the former case it is usually associated with anxiety. BeJ over-work gives rise to loss of memory^ a general Bense of fatigue, and particularly of discomfort about the head, poorness of appetite, lowness of spirits, and other similar symptoms. It is worry that injures more than real week--care killed the cat Wisdom of Animals. , - Last week Sir John Lubbock de­ livered an interesting address in Queen Street hall, Edinburgh, to the mem­ bers of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution, on "The Sense and Senses of Animals." He said one would grate­ fully admit that the dog was a loyal and true and affectionate friend, but when we came to consider the nature of the animal our knowledge was very limited. That arose a good deal from the fact that people had tried rather to teach animals than to learn from them. It had occurred to him that some such method as that which was followed in the case of deaf mutes might prove in­ structive if adapted to the case of dogs. He had tried with a black poodle be­ longing to himself. He then went on to relate several experiments he had made with pieces of cardboard with different words marked upon them. He had taken two pieces of c&rd, one blank and the other with the word "food" upon it He had put the latter on a saucer containing some bread and milk and the blank card he put on an empty saucer. The dog was not al­ lowed to eat until it brought the proper card to him. This experiment was re­ peated over and over again, and in about ten days the dog began to dis­ tinguish the card with the letters on it from the plain card. It took a long time to make the dog realize the differ­ ence between different words. In order ta try and discover whether the dog could distinguish colors he prepared six cards, making two of them blue, two of them yellow, and two orange. He put one of each on the floor and tried to get the dog to bring to him a card with the same color as one which he showed the dog in his hand. After trying this for three months he found that his experiment in this direction was a failure He had always felt a great longing to know how the world appeared to lower animals. It was still a doubtful point whether ants were able to hear. From experiments which he had made he had come to the con­ clusion they had not the power of ad­ dressing each other. His impression on the whole was that bees and ants were not deaf, but that they l^ard sounds so shrill as to be beyond our hearing. There was no doubt about insects seeing. He related several ex­ periments which ho had made with the view of discovering whether different insects " could distinguish different colors and had any preference for par­ ticular colors. The colors of objects produced upon insects an impression very different from that produced on human beings. The world to them might be full of musio which wo could not hear, colors which we could not see, and sensations which we could not feel. --Nature. A Pen Portrait of George EUet. Thomas Adolphus Trollope draws the following portrait of George Eliot: She was not, as the world in general is aware, a handsome or even a person­ able woman. Her face was long; the eyes not large nor beautiful in color-- tiiey were, I think, of a grayish l»lue-- the hair, which she wore in old-fash- ioned braids coming down on either side of her face, of a rather light brown. It was streaked with gray when I last saw her. Her figure was of middle height, large boned and powerful. Lewes often said that she inherited from her peasant ancestors a frame and constitution originally very robust Her head was finely formed, with noble and well balanced arch from brow to crown. The lips and mouth possessed a power of infinitely varied expression. George Lewes once said to me when I made some observation to the effect that she had a sweet face (I meant to say that,the face expressed great sweetness): "You might say what a sweet hundred faces! I look at her sometimes in amazement. Her countenance is constantly changing." The lips and mouth were distinctly sensuous in form and fulluess. She has been compared to the portraits of Savonarola (who was frightful) and of Dante (who though stern and bitter- looking was handsome.) Something there was of both faoes in George Eliot's physiognomy. Lewes told us, in her presence, of the exclamation ut­ tered suddenly by some one to whom she was pointed out at a place of pub­ lic entertainment--I believe it was at a Monday Popular Concert in St James' Hall. "That," said a bystander, "is George Eliot" The gentleman to whom she was thus indicated gave one swift, searching look and exclaimed sotto voice, "Dante's aunt!" Lewes thought this happy, and he recognized the kind of likeness that was meant to the great singer of the Divine Comedy. She herself playfully disclaimed any resemblance to Savonarola. But, al­ though such resemblanco was very dis­ tant--Savonarola's peculiarly unbal­ anced countenance being a strong cari­ cature of hers -- some likeness there "When First We Practice to Deceive." My landlady is gone--visiting, I pre­ sume. Ethel, the wild, untamed pro­ totype of her mother, is playing in the dining-room below. A neighbor's child is playing with her, and between them Home howls. Suddenly there is a crash like the thunderous fortissimo of a Wagnerian opera. A dead silence. "Oh, Ethel Smith," in a low, awe­ struck voice, "what'll your mamma say now?" "Sh, sh!"--then in a treble--"Oh, Rosie! ain't ygu glad it didn't break anything?" There is a wordless and somewhat conscience - stricken assent; then a stealthy chinking of china, sounding as if it were dropping in small bits into Ethel's apron. This happened yesterday. Ethel has been extraordinarily dutiful to-day, and in the alley,in the rear of the next house but one, is a small pyramid of broken crockery. Ignorance i» bliss!--Detroit Free Press. Where Elish* Missed It My little boy is now 6 years old. When about 4$ years of age I was telling him one Sunday of Elisha, the prophet and the naughty children who called after him: "Go up, thou bald head." (In the illustrations the prophet is represented as bareheaded, usually.) Arthur listened attentively, then he said: "Why didn't Elisha have his hat on? Then they wouldn't have seen his bald head."--Boston Globe. Mbs. Amelia Diet, of Vermont, has sued for a divorce. She wants a change of d . Pass the bitter, please. THE MKMCAL WORLD. PREVENTION OF DIPHTHERIA. Curative treatment of diphtheria is admittedly so unreliable that the medical profession listens with interest to every suggestion of preventing this terriblo disease. At a recent meeting Of the New York Academy of Medicine this subject formed the staple of the evening's discussion. Following is a resume of the principal recommenda­ tions : In a city with densely populated districts the supervision of plumbing and the erection of the air-shafts in tenements are useful supplementary sanitary measures against diphtheria, and physicians should instruct the peo­ ple in such matters as often as oppor­ tunity presents. Overheating of school­ rooms and of dwellings should be most emphatically denounced as dangerous. Isolation of the sick should be ex­ plained and insisted upon. The man­ agement of isolation houses for the poor should be such as to readily gain tlieir contidence. Enlarged tonsils should be reduced. Carious teeth should be removed or filled promptly; the fee of the poor should therefor be small or nothing. Parents should in­ spect their children's mouths and throats each day before they go to school. Children should learn to gar­ gle at an early age. Children suffering from apparently simple sore throat should not attend school until well. Kissing upon the lips should be for­ bidden. Children old enough to gar- gl$, should be taught to do so after each meal with a weak solution of an anti­ septic chemical, and in young children a few drops should be dropped into, the nostrils. THE ALCOHOL QUESTION. Commenting upon the vehement de­ nial by "the political enemies of alco­ hol," that this agent has any medical value the Medical Record says advo­ cates never help their cause in the long run by denying facts. Misstatements are like boomerangs, and the more there are of them the more numerous are the wounds of those that make them. We agree with the prohibition­ ists that, as Parkes says: "if alcohol were unknown half the sm and a large part of the poverty and unhappiness in the world would disappear," but we do not agree with them when they assert that alcohol is an unmitigated curse to mankind. Alcohol, when properly used, is a great blessing and it has saved countless numbers, of human beings who have lived to oheer the ex­ istence of others and to add greatly to the sum of human happiness and to the advancement of our race. STRYCHNINE FOR DRUNKENNESS. Some years since Jarochewski, a Bussian biologist, found by experiments made on dogs that strychnine not only destroys the narcotic action of alcohol but enables the system to support large quantities of alcoholic spirits without the usual injurious effeots. liussian physicians now report great success in the treatment of dipsomania, or the alcohol habit, by means of nitrate of strychnine. The drug is said not only to relieve the immediate after effects ol alcoholic excess but in many cases to destroy all craving for intoxicating liquors. ALCOHOLIC COMA. In cases of alcoholic poisoning--the comatose condition of intoxication --the promptest recovery of consciousness will follow the subcutaneous injection of a mixture of one part of amonia with two to six parts of water. Police sur­ geons who have to deal with cases of unconsciousness will find this a con­ venient method of determining whether a given case is due to whisky, compres­ sion of the brain, or nervous disorder. SWEATING OP THE HANDS. A lotion--composed of four ounces of cologne water and half an ounce ol tincture of belladonna -- is highly recommended as a cure for the dis­ agreeable sweating of the hands and feet from which many persons suffer. The affected extremities should be rubbed two or throe times a day. 8ICK HEADACHE. Dr. J. Aulde says that sick head­ ache dependent on a bad condition ol the stomach will often disappear in half an hour under the influence of twe grains of iodide of potash dissolved in au ounce of water, taken in teaspoon- ful doses at. intervals of three to five minutes. Chased by a Machine. An elderly gentleman whose alder- manic girth and florid countenance be­ spoke a love for the good things of thie life was toiling slowly up the ascent. The day was rather warm, and the ex­ ertion caused the old gentleman tc perspire freely. He had got at last a quarter of a block up the hill when a Chinese appeared At the corner ol Prospect place wheeling one of those patent scales before him. As ill-luck would have it, he had just rounded the corner when he placed hiB foot on a banana peel, slipped, and fell to the earth, letting the machine go as he fell. The scales started down-hilL The elderly gentleman, startled by the rumbling noise, looked up, and for a moment was paralyzed with terror. The machine was coming straight for him. Then he tried to dodge it „ He jumped to the edge of the sidewalk. The machine jumped, too. He skipped to the wall and so did the scales. Back he went, but his foe still headed him off. He jumped and skipped and panted and perspired, but never onoe thought of getting off the sidewalk into the mi Idle of the street The machine was almost upon him. His hat fell off. The few straggling hairs which orna­ mented the old gentleman's scalp stood straight up and every pore proved a fountain of perspiration. Nearer and nearer came the machine. Ha! he would Kun for it He turned, but. alas, too late. , The deadly machine caught him about the anklea Up went his feet, and the old gentleman made the acquaintance a Eosteriori of the rapidly moving scales, town the hill they went together, the old gentleman's arms whirling like a wind-mill and the wheels of the ma­ chine creaking out unearthly sounds. Tobogganing was nothing to it On Stockton street crossing they came tc a full stop. The old gentleman jumped to his feet unhurt and glared around fiercely. He received the smiling countenance of the innocent heathen, who extended his hand with a smile oi child-like simplicity and Baid: "You allee same big Melican man. My machine no made wayee big man allee same you. Him blakee two places. Suppose you payee me ten doila for mend him?" "You scoundrel I" cried the old gentleman, purple with rage. "How, dare you make such a proposition ? I'll; sue you for damages, sir. Hojy dare you let that machine go? By thunder!" --Denver News.

These methods and reliances are illustrated to-day in a series of otd-fachioned roots and herbe preparations recently given to the world by the well-known proprietors of Warner's aafe cure--preparations mads from formulae possessed by many of oar oldest families, and rescued for popular use, arid issued under the happy designation of Warner's Log Cabin Remedies. "My eon," exclaimed a venerable woman to the writer when he was a boy, '•my son, yon'r yeller and pale and weak like lookin', you'r needin' a good shaking up with some aaa'pariu" A jog of spring sarsaparilla was just as neoetissary in the "winter supplies* of fifty years ago as was a barrel of pork, and a fa­ mous medical authority saya that the very general prevalence of the use of such a prep­ aration as Ix>g Cabin Sarsaparilla explains the rugged health of our ancestors. While Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is an excellent remedy for all seasous of the year, it is particularly valuable iu the spring, when the system is full of Blnggish blood and r. quires a natural constitutional tonic and invigorator to resist colds and pneumonia and the effects of a long winter. Pmio M. Parsons, clerk of the City I£otel of. Hart­ ford, Conn., was prostrated with a cold which, he says, "seemed to settle through my body. I neglected it, and the result was my blood became impoverished and poisoned, in­ dicated by inflamed eyes. I was treated, but my eyes "grew worse. I was obliged to wear a shade over them. I feared that I wouldbe obliged to give up work." "Under the operation of Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and Livor Pills," he sayi, "th.? sore and inflamed eyes disappoaro l. My blood, I know, is in a healthier condition than it has been for years. 1 have a mnch better appetite. I shall take several more bottles for safety's sake. Warner's Log Cabin Sarsa­ parilla is a groat blood pur.tier and I most heartily recommend it" A few bottles of Warner's Log Cabin Sar­ saparilla used in the family now will save many a week of sickness and many a dollar of bills. Use no other. This is the oldest, most thoroughly tested, and the best, is put up in the largest sarsaparilla bottle on the market, containing 130 doses. There is no other preparation of similar name that can equal it. The name of its manufacturers is a guarantee of its superior worth. While the great doctor* wrangle over the technicalities of an advanced madica! science' that cannot cure disease, such simple prepar­ ations yearly snatch millions from nutiinely graves. Wagner and the Jew. Wagner was the most furious anti- Semitic fanatic of his time, but the Jews at least love his mnsic. Apropos of this, a story is told of Liszt's visit to a wealthy Jewish lawyerv of Leipsic. Bitting in his library, the two discussed music with great enthusiasm, when suddenly Liszt stopped in the midst of a laudatory tirade on the "music drama" with the interjection: "But I forgot; you probably feel a racehatred toward Wagner." The other arose, took down a bust from a retired niche, showing Wagner with* a chaplet of laurel around his brow and a halter aronnd his neck, and said: "That's what I think of Richard Wagner."-- The Argonaut. I, too, acknowledge the all but om­ nipotence of liberal culture. We shall see either a doddered dwarf bush or a high-towering, wide-speading tree.-- Carlyle. What Constitutes a Family Medicine? A preparation which is alai tad to the relief and cur) of ailments to which members of a household are most subject, and which is not only alleged to do this, but has long and unfail­ ingly proved its ability to do it, assuredly de­ serves the title of a reliable Family Medicine. Among time-honored preparations, which ex­ perience and the sanction of the medical oro- feasion indicate as deserving of popular regard aud confidence, is Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, a medicine adapted to the eradication of dys­ pepsia, constipation aud biliousness, the threo most frequently occurring ailments that vex mankind.

COMMON SENSE TREATMENT, ]g half of the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end In the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, leas understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physician*. If you would remove an evil, itrihe at it* root. As the predisposing or real cause of catarrh Is, in the majority of cases, some weakness, impurity, or otherwise faulty condition of the system, in attempting to cure the disease our chief aim must be directed to the removal of that cause. The more we see of this odious disease, and we treat successfully thousands of cases an­ nually at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, the more do we realize the importance of combining with the use of a local, soothing and healinjr application, a thorough and persistent inter­ nal use of blood-cleansing and tonic medicines. In curing catarrh and all the various diseases with which it u so frequently complicated, as throat, bronchial, and lung diseases, weak stomach, ca­ tarrhal deafness, weak or inflamed ere*. Impure blood, scrofulous and other taints, the wonder­ ful powers and virtues of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med­ ical Discovery cannot be too strongly extolled. It has a specific RELIMGE.

Dr. Sape's Catarrh Remedy is beyoo# all comparison the best preparation ever invented* It is mild and pleasant to use, producing no amartinf. or pain, and containing no strong, irritating, or caus­ tic drug-, or other poison. This Remedy is a power­ ful antiseptic, and speedily destroys all bad smell which accom- lanies so many eases of catarrh, thus affording great comfort to, hose who suffer from this disease. The Golden Medical Discovery is the natural " helpmate " of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It not only cleanses, purines, regulates, and builds up the system to a healthy standard, and con-: quers throat, bronchial, and lung complications, when any such exist, but, from its spectsor effects upon the lining membrane of the nasal passages, it aids ' ' thickened, or ulaerated mem- eradicates the disease. i» permanent.
