Impure Breath.
Among all the disagreeable conse
quences that follow tin: decay of the
teeth, an impure breath must be the most
mortifying ami unpleasant to its |iossess-
or, and it is the most inexcusable and of
fensive in society; and yet the cause of it
may lie easily removed bv cleansing the
teeth daily with that justly |sipular don-
trifrii-e, fragrant SOZODON'T. It puri
ties and sweets us the breath, cools and
refreshes the niouth, anil gives a i*-:irl-
like appearance to the teeth. Gentlemen
u ho indulge in smoking should cleanse
their teeth with SOZO DON'T; as it re
moves all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it. July *

Carlyle’s Letter to a Young Alan.
Tlie truthful, genial temper mani
fested in your letter eaiiuot lint in
crease tlie interest 1 felt in you. It
will be good news in nil times com
ing to learn tiiat such a life as yours
unfolds itself according to promise,
anil becomes in sonic tolerable degree
what it is capable of being. Tlie
problem is your own, to make or to
mar; a great problem for you,as tlie
like is for every man born into this
world.
You have inv entire sympathy in
your denunciation of the “explosive”
character. It is frequent in these
times, and deplorable wherever met
with. Explosions arc ever wasteful,
woeful; central tiro should not ex
plode itself, but lie silent, far down
at tlie center, and make all good
I'ruits grow. AVe eaiiuot too often
repeat to ourselves; “Strength is
seen not in spasms, but in stout bear
ing of burdens.”
You can take comfort in the mean
while, if you need it, by the experi
ence of till wise men, that a right
heavy burden is precisely the tiling
wanted for a young strong man.—
Grievous to be borne; but bear it
well; you will timl it one day to
have been verily blessed. “I would
not for any money,” says the brave
•lean Paul in bis quaint way, “have
bad money in my youth.” He speaks
a truth there, singular as it may seem
to many.
These young obscure years ought
to be incessantly employed in gain
ing knowledge of things worth know
ing,'and you may believe me, tlie
obscurer such years arc, it is apt to
he the better. Rooks are needed,
hut yet not many books; a few well
read. An open, true, patient and
valiant souls is needed ; that is the
one thing needful,

Some CliineNC Remedies.
The witches in “Macbeth” seem to
have hail a hand in making up a Chi
nese pharmacopteia, nil account of
which comes over from the Paris Ex
hibition. Among the most highly
reputed drugs and medicines which
the Celestials linvc taken to Paris arc
a variety of exceptional medical cu
riosities* The larva; of grasshoppers,
for instance, dried and roasted, are
prescribed for headaches; dried
fowls' gizzards for indigestion: the
inside of a stag’s horn for rheuma
tism and Bronchitis; a glutinous do-
coction of donkey’s skin is labeled as
having a great reputation, being tak
en in eases of pulmonary diseases;
while a powder prepared from tlie
skin of tlie elephant is recommended
for rheumatic pains. One of tlie
stimulants, according to The London
Globe,is a tincture of scorpions, and
for tonic purposes, tlie best though a
very costly medicine, is tlie gelati
nous decoction of tigers’ hones. For
a general antidote, in many cases the
bear's gall is much admired. The
gem of Hie whole collection, howev
er, is curious enough. A number of
live toads arc imprisoned in n jar
half filled W’tli tiour, and when tlie
flour is moistened with tlie saliva
which these creatures emit, it is dried
, and kept as powder. The special
I use to which this preperntion is put
I is to take it as smilfto produce snecz-
! mg, and in Hint way it is regarded ns
I invaluable in restoring persons suffer-
ing from fainting tits, convulsions or
hysterics.
What Ape You Going to do
About It?
Look at tlie ridiculous way in
which a man takes for granted that a
woman will lie interested in his say
ings and doings. If his wife lias a
long story to tell him, she is filled
with misgivings Inst it might tire him,
site leaves out many little picturesque
touches that she may not take up Ids
lime, anil, even on tlie hand-gallop
she lias not arrived within call of her
conclusion when In: asks with con
fusion directness, “Well, how did it
turnout?” But a man lias never a
misgiving that he will lie hurried, or
thatlifc lias anything better to offer
than listening to him. lie begins hi*
story at its earliest morning stages
and lope leisurely to its close, or if it
is rapid he gives rapid transit, but
lie never omits anything of his wife’
account. lie tells what lie said and
what tlie other man said and what tlie
other man might have said, and what
he would have said had tlie other
mnn said what lie might have said.
And tlie worst of it is—the fatal
point is—that his confidence is justi
fied. Tlie woman is interested. Tlie
man’s talk takes her out of her own
into a larger life, and she not only
tolerates lint enjoys it; and what, arc
you going to do about it?[Gail Ham
ilton.
Waking Up the Baby.
Just at dusk tlie other dismal day
three children, tlie oldest of whom
did not seem over ten years old, were
huddled together on the rickety steps
of an old house on lScaubicii street.
A pedestrian peeped over their heads
to read the iiimibcr on (lie door, and
tlie children looked so frightened
that lie asked:
“Children, where.arc yur.r father
and mother?”
Father's been gone wuy off for
ever so long, ami mother goes out to
wash and hasn't got home yet,” an-
wored tlie eldest, a girl.
"And you are all alone?”
“Yes. sir, lint baby is on the lied.
He's been asleep an awful long lime,
and we can’t wake him up. if we
could we’d play liiclo and seek and let
him find us.”
“Is the baby sick?” inquired tlie
limn.
“We don’t know, sir, but we can't
wake him up, 1 touched him and
touched him. and Charlie he tickled
Ills feet, lint little Sandy never moved
once. 1 guess lie is awfully sleepy.
Don't you think you cotihl wake him
up?”
I'll try,” replied the man as he
went in, and when the girl had light
ed the lamp lie followed her into a
bedroom in which there was neither
carpet nor furniture. Pushed back
against the broken wall was a poor
old straw tick and a single quilt. He
bent over to look at the child, and
the first glance showed him that little
Sandy was dead. On the window sill
were some pieces of bread and a cup
of milk which the children intended
to feed him. The dead child’s hand
clasped a rag doll made of an old cal
ico apron, and its thin little feet and
pale face were evidences that it had
known sickness and hunger through
out its brief life. While the children
waited for him to open 'his eyes ami
romp with them and drive the gloom
onto! the house, the angelslmd whis
pered to him and his eyes had un
closed to behold the splendors of
Heaven.
“Won’t he wake up?” asked one of
the children, standing back in the
shadow.
“Children, von must not come in
here until your mother comes?” he
said ns he left the room.
“Won't he he afraid to wake up in
the dark ?” they asked.
He will sleep a long time yet!”
lie whispered, not daring to tell them
the truth, mid as he went out they
put the light ill on the bedroom floor,
that little 8undv might not timl the
darkness around him when his sleep
had ended. Poor things I They knew
not and they could not sec the crown
of glory on the dead child's brow—a
crown whose light all the shadows of
earth can never darken in the least.—

An Akfkctini; Sentence.—Judge
, of the Judicial District of
Arkansas, had brought before him a
convicted felon to he sentenced. The
opportunity to “improve” tlie occa
sion was not to he lost, and so, after
the usual demand for reason why
sentence should not tic pronounced,
his Honor slowly, and with genuine
feeling, addressed the prisoner: “My
poor fellow, you arc about to go to
the penitentiary. You arc required
to give up for a long term everything
which the great world values—your
family—mid instead to take for your
associatcs only felons like yourself;
your home—and to take instead wluit
can never have the semblance of a
home; your will—and so bo subject
o order of men who have no sympa
thy with you. Even your ordinary
clothing you will exchange for (here
l,w " liis Honor hesitated, mid raising his
left arm, pointed to it with tlie index
linger of the right hand)—von will
exchange for stripped clothes, the
stripes cunning not lengthwise, like
these, hut so—round and round like
a coon’s tail.—Harper’s Magazine.
A correspondent, of the ISattimor
Gazette, who lias been visiting the
scenes, described in the “Lady of the
Lake,” writes: “The Trossao’h Hotel
has been built here in the wilderness,
just at the point, where the passen
gers coining from Kdiiilinrglwnicet
those coming around from Glasgow;
and as they reach there about one
o’clock, it is the general lunching
place for tourists. Sonic idea of the
number of people (mostly English
men with their wives and daughters)
who are now traveling in ditlerenl
parts of Scotland may he judged
from the tael that over 150 lunched
there yesterday, and that every room
in the house last night was occupied
by guests, most of whom, probably
like ns, had made a halt for fair
weather. The scenery around the
hotel is most beautiful. The placid
waters of Loch Achray on one side,
and from the steep mountain behind
it a roaring mountain stream, which
attracts, gives animation to the scene,
and sounded during the night as if
we were in elose proximity to a min
iature Niagara. There arc also quite
a number of pedestrians, who are
spending a mouth in exploring the
Highlands. We pass these frequent
ly on the road, and they make a sort
of a picnic trip of it, carrying knap
sacks.
The English girls are great walk,
ers, and they diverge from the stage
roads and make excursions among
the mountains. There was a party
of young English girls at the hotel
who have walked over one hundred
miles during the past seven days.—
Their rosy cheeks and the firmness of
their tread, ns well as the substantial
shoes they wear, with heels where
nature requires them to be for use
and comfort, indicate an ability to
walk ten times this distance if they
willed it. American girls arc gener
ally poor walkers, and it will he soon
as difficult to find an American lady
J^vho can walk more than twenty min
'Mites without complaining of fatigue
ns it is to find a good female walker
in Chiba. They pay too much atten
tion to the shape and mako of their
boots for pedestrian performances.
My young companions have had some'
good experience in walking, and will
return capital walkists.”
Recent Points in Etiquette,
Say “good bye" not “good' morn
ing.”
Upon leaving a room, one bow
should include all.
Never wait over fifteen minutes
for a lardy guest.
Upon iulroduelion, enter nL onec
into conversation.
A note requires as prompt an an
swer as a spoken question.
Regrets in reply to in vitions should
contain a reason therefor.
Strangers arriving should notify
friends liv card or by presence.
At a table you arc required
thnnk lhc one who waits on von.
Yon should cxr.hnug enlls with in-
lividuals before inviting them to
your house.
Only letters to unmarried ladies
mid widows are addressed with their
baptismal name.
To return a personal with cards in
closed in an envelope signifies that
visiting between the porous is elided
Unless there is a great difference
in age, a lady visiting should not
rise, cither on arrival or departure
of other ladies.
