I handed him a bottle of Chamberlain’ 3 Pain Balm and told him to use it freely and if not satisfied after use- ing it he need not pay a cent for it:” says C. P. Rayder, of Pattens Mills. There is some trouble in this neigh- borhood at present. Do not be sur- prised if you hear of one of the parties interested, being placed behind the bars before many days. We will not. mention names, but one party deserves to be exposed and punished. Like most men who have won suc- cess, Andrew Carnegie has always laid great stress on the need of tem- perance principles for young men who wish to make their way in the world. Years ago, in an address given before the young men of Pittsburg, he made the following statements. worth the attention of ambitious young men every-where. N. Y. "A few days later he walked into the store as straight as a. string and handed me a dollar saying, ’give me another bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

Some ere having rather bad luck with their Spring colts; perhaps the hard winter has a. little to do with it. We spoke some time ago alout sheep-killing by dogs. Just as we expected, the dogs have been at work again. and Dan McLean had his flock worried. It is a down right shame, after the way sheep were killed last fall, for some people to act so careless about their dogs.

That’s straight. Old Lady Luck comes for Mr. Smith’s mind, ‘swinging both hands.

A more harmless, inoffensive creature does not crawl than the common gar- den caterpillar, yet this small worm will put up an appearance so fierce upon occasion as to frighten its ene- mies away. Soft and pulpy, with no defensive or ofiensive weapons, this destroyer of cabbages and lettuces will blufl itself into a veritable armored cruiser and frighten many more for midable insects into ungovernablv flight. Its method of procedure is like this: Immediately anything approaches, the slow moving, fat caterpillar raises its hairy body, wags a formidable look- ing head and looks the essence of strength and defiance. so much so that it requires a bird of a particularly val- iant disposition to attack it. When Doctors Were Slaves. » Romans of means had physicians in their own houses. These men were slaves, for. odd as it seems. many Ro- man slaves were accomplished in liter- ature. art and science. At one time the selling price of a slave doctor was about the equivalent of $300 in our money. Sarcastic. In a volume of memoirs it is told that on the first council day after Lord Der- by’s elevation to the premiership Gre- ville showed his disapproval by not ap- pearing in his place as clerk. Some busybody asked Lord Derby whether he had noticed Greville’s absence, and Lord Derby replied, with a face of benevolent apology: “No, really! You know, I am the most inattentive fellow in the world about these things. I never notice. when 1 ring the bell. whether John or Thomas answers it.” yéa rs. At Edward Kiddee's pastry school, at Little Lincoln's 'Inn Fields, are taught all kinds of pastry and cookery. Dutch hollow works and butter works on Thurs- days, Fridays and Saturdays, in the aft- ernoon. and. on the same days in the morning at his school in Norris street. St. James, Haymarket. and at his school at St. Martin's le Grand on Mondays, Tues- days and Wednesdays, in the afternoons. What Dutch hollow works. may be none of the cooking schools of today seems to know, but they sound good. After the time of Julius Caesar, who encouraged physicians, the art began to “lift its head” in Rome. and later men of character and position. thongh generally foreigners, entered the pro- fession. Some of them accumulated large fortunes. and one made the equiv alent of at least $500,000 in a few To All Young Ladies ' Ancient Cooking School. We of the twentieth century are in- clined to think of cooking schools as be- longing exclusively to our day and gen- eration.

A thoroughly good man was Henry M. Stanley, whom I first met in the Ashanti expedition. No noise, no dan- ger ruflled his nerve. and he looked as cool and self possessed as if he had been at “target practice.” Time after time as I turned in his direction I saw him go down to a kneeling position to steady his rifle as he plied the most daring of the enemy with a never fail- ing aim. It is nearly thirty years ago, and I can still see before me the close shut lips and'determined expression of his manly face, which, when he looked in my direction, told plainly I had near me an Englishman in plain clothes whom no danger could appall. Had I felt inclined to run away the cool, firm, unflinching manliness of that face would have given me fresh courage. I had been previously somewhat preju- diced by others against him, but all such feelings were slain and buried at Amoatul.â€"“Lord Wolseley’s Recollec- tions."

Every engine, whether stationary or locomotive, has a particular tone of its own. The en- gineer becomes accustomed to that, and any departure from it at once ex- cites a suspicion tnat all is not right. The engineer may not know what is the matter. He may have no ear for music, but the change in the tone of his machine will be instantly percepti- ble, will be instantly recognized and will start him on an immediate investi- “Well, it said so in the hook, and I’ll find it for you,” said the pupil excited- ly, and she turned the mges until she found a certain paragraph which she triumphantly pointed out.
