that she was unable to get out of bed
unaided, being given up by physicians;
she had taken the ruinous so-called
Blood Medicines without the least ef
fect, until being put under the P. P.
she immediately began to improve and
is now in as good health as ever in her
life. You can refer tome at any time

They Fear Nothing.
The followers of Menelek, king of
Shoa, while not so large as the fierce
Zulus of the south, are about the tough
est warriors in the world. They do not
know physical fear. I have seen a man
jab a burnt stick several inches in his
flesh without wincing, declares a writer
in the New York Press. This apparent
insensibility to pain is accompanied
with a religious frenzy in battle that
renders the soldiers unconscious of bod
ily harm. They have no fear of death,
and their happiness is to kill.
To Take a Raw Fgg.
Egg oysters are very good if swallowed

last five years, to the exelusion of
physician’s prescriptions or other
preparations.

SUBLIME FOLLY.
fiublimest folly—from their camps uprise
Two mighty armies, eager for the fray.
The drum beat rolls, the brazen trumpets
bray,
And guns and bayonets flash against the skies.
Now shall be shown on which side victory lies.
Swords gleam, the booming cannon hurl dis
may,
The quick, sharp rifle shots for death make
way,
On high the bird of evil omen cries.
Men fall as in the field the full ripe grain
Where bending reapers swing the sickle’s
blade,
In ranks they fall, never to rise again.
But wherefore the dread holocaust thus
made?
That past all doubt man may make this truth
plain,
On honor more than life his heart is staid.
—Bishop Spalding.
SOME LEAP YEAR LAWS.
A Woman Could Propose Six Hundred
Years Ago and the Man Had to Accept.
In two countries, at least, and more
than 600 years ago, laws were passed
which gave women the right of propos
ing marriage. These enactments went
even farther than this. They also stip
ulated that if the man whose hand they
had sought should refuse he should in
cur a heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient records
of Scotland has recently discovered an
act of the Scottish parliament, which
was passed in the year 1288, which runs
as follows:
“It is statut and ordaint that during
the rein of his maist blissit Mcgeste, ilk
for the years knowne as Lepe Yeare, ilk
mayden ladye of baithe highe and lowe
estaet shall hae liberte to bespeke ye
man she likes, albeit gif he refuses ta
taik hir to be his lawful wyfe, he shall
be mulcted in ye sum of ane dundis or
less, as his pstait maybe; except and
awis gif he can make it appeare that he
is betrot,hit ane ither woman, he then
shall be free. ”
A year or two later a law almost sim
ilar to the Scottish enactment was
passed in France and received the ap
proval of the king. It is also said that
before Columbus sailed on his famous
voyage to the westward a similar privi
lege was granted to the maidens of Ge
noa and Florence.
There is no record extant of any fines
imposed under the conditions of this
Scotch law, and no trace of statistics le
garding the number of spinsters who
took advantage of it or of the similar
regulations in France, but the custom
seems to have taken firm hold upon the
popular mind about that time. The
next mention of it is dated nearly 400
years later, and it is a curious little
treatise, called “Love, Courtship and
Matrimony,” which was published in
London in 1606. In this quaint work
the “privilege” is thus alluded to:
“Albeit it now becomes a part of the
common law in regard to social rela
tions of life, that, as often as every leap
yeare doth return, the ladyes have the
sole privilege during the time it contin
ueth of making love either by wordes or
lookes, no man will be entitled to bene
fit of clergy who doth in any wise treat
her proposal with slight or contumely. ”
Up to within a century ago it was one
of the unwritten laws of leap year that
if a man should decline a proposal he
should soften the disappointment which
his answer would bring about by the
presentation of a silk dress to the un
successful suitor for his hand.
A curious leap year superstition is
still to be met with in some parts of New
England, and that is that during leap
year the “beans grow on the wrong side
of the pod.”—Philadelphia Examiner.
Mice aifd Rats In Japan.
There are small “deer” on the island
that arouse no poetry or gracious senti
ments. The mice, those pests of Japa
nese teahouses, raced through the doll
houses at will by dark, the ornamental
traceries and designs pierced in the
pretty wood panels above the screens
giving them free range of every room.
They ran over my face, scratched my
pillow, nibbled my fingers and kept me
awake night after night with their rus
tling and gnawing. On the third night
of mouse carnival I called the servants
and had lights brought. The landlord
heard the sounds and bustled across the
court to see what the matter was. “I
think there is a mouse in this house, ” I
said. “Oh, certainly, certainly, honor
able lady,” he said, bowing low and
proudly. “Yes, indeed, I have many,
plenty of rats at the Momiji. ” And he
could not at all understand why we
should make such a trouble about so
natural a thing and object to these sure
evidences of abundant prosperity, these
companions of Daikoku, the god of
plenty. —Eliza Rhuhamah Scidmore in
Century.
Two Handles.
Everything has two handles—the one
soft and manageable, the other such as
will not endure to be touched. If, then,
your brother do you an injury, do not
take it by the hot hard handle, by rep
resenting to yourself all the aggravating
circumstances of the fact; but look
rather on the soft side and extenuate it
as much as is possible by considering
the nearness of the relation and the
long friendship and familiarity between
you—obligations to kindness whiifa a
single provocation ought not to dissolve.
And thus you will take the accident by
its manageable handle.—Epictetus.
The Jeer of a Plebeian.
Laura—Miss Backdate is awfully
proud of being eligible to membership
in the Daughters of the Revolution.
Flora—She has a right to be proud.
Just think how narrowly she escapes
being old enough to be a sister instead
of a daughter.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Men spend their lives in anticipations
in determining to be vastly happy at
some period or other when they have
time. But the present time has one ad
vantage over every other. It is our own.
—Colton.
