a us re<*uy mgn caste London swell
has “cursed his stick and cast it out.”
Swagger Englishmen no longer appear
in public with canes of any description.
The collection of choice silver topped
and natural wood weapons they drew
mental sustenance from through so many
seasons has suffered a temporary divorce
from the fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, and goes empty
handed on the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of weather a
medium sized nilk umbrella.
The collapse of the stick is attributable
to the wholesale adoption of imita^
costly canes by the London cwy ^
petty tradesman.
‘Airy, the haberdasher, greengrocer
and draper men were contented until re-
cently to carry blackthorns or a light
rattan. To this no objection was rai-^q
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone well had not a sharp Amwi^
flooded the* market with cheap, flashy
copies of swelldom’s own stick. The re
sult was intolerable, and hence the urn-
versal renunciation of canes in upper
circles.—Illustrated American.

Let Christmas Stand for Pleasure.
Christmas is the preacher who empha
sizes the fact that the religion which it
celebrates is adapted to human nature.
Horace is called the laureate of the
worldly, of the epicurean, of the pagan
who would eat and drink in view of to
morrow. The gay adage dum vivimus
is cited with a shudder as the gospel of
pleasure. Christmas was hunted in the
Puritan parliament as a kind of god of
pleasure who was only a masked devil.
It was confounded by Governor Brad
ford with the Belly god. But why, said
Charles Wesley, as he sweetly sang—
why give all the good tunes to Satan?
The sweet singer might have enlarged
his view and his question. Why give
Satan any of the good things? Why,
above all, let him have Christmas, as
Andromeda was abandoned to the drag
on of the sea? Let Christmas stand for
pleasure and for the reason that it is es
pecially the Christian day. Then Chris
tianity drops her weeds and smiles.—
Harper’s. .
An Impostor Who Made Money.
One of the men who made a fortune
out of the Cardiff giant humbug nearly
twenty years ago died in New York re
cently. His name was George Hull.
He was formerly a tobacconist in Bing
hamton, and was the author of the
fraud, which he engaged an Italian
stonecutter of Chicago to carry out.
A large gypsum slab was obtained in
Iowa and cut into the form of a gigantic
man. The stone was artificially colored,
to give the appearance of great age, and
then buried in the vicinity of Cardiff,
where it was accidentally (of course)
discovered and exhumed, and exhibited
about the country as a prehistoric figure.
The imposition was so clever that many
scientific men were deceived by it.—
Chicago Herald.
Advice to Mothers.
Are you disturbed at night and broken
of your rest by a sick child suffering and
crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so,
send at once and get a bottle of Mrs
Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children
Teething. Its value is incalculable. It
will relieve the poor little sufferer im
mediately. Depend upon it, mothers;
there is no mistake about it. It cures
dysintery and diarr KEa, regulates the
stomach and bowels, cures wind colic,
softens the gums, reduces inflammation’
and gives tone and energy to the whole
system. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
for children Teething is pleasant to the
taste, and is the prescription of one of
the oldest and best female nurses and
physicians in the United States, and a
for sale by all druggists throughout the
world. Price 25 cents a bottle.
Wlien Alphonse Daudet Was Poor.
Alphonse Dandet, considered by many
the most popular living novelist, is one
of the most remarkable looking men in
Europe. He has an exquisitely shaped
head, broad, white forehead, coal black
eyes and hair and a full dark beard.
Years ago, when he first came up to
Paris from Lyons, unknown and friend
less, he was so poor that he was forced
to make his journey in a cold freight
car, and had nothing to eat for two
days. A copy of his poems fortunately
met the eye of the Empress Eugenie,
who directed the Due de Morny to send
for him. Poor Dandet with difficulty
procured suitable clothing for his ap
pearance at the Tuileries, hut a lucra
tive secretaryship was soon offered him
by De Morny, and his pecuniary trials
were ended.—New York Ledger.
CEMENT.
To Winter in the Arctic.
Three vessels from San Francisco are
now in winter quarters at the mouth of
the MackenMe river, within 1,200 imla?
of the north pole. This is said tobefte
first time that whaling vessels have vok
untarily wintered in this location. The
colony comprises nearly seventy men.
It will be late next summer before they
can be heard from, unless by some chance
a trapper might find his way that far
north by sledges and back again to a
British fur trading post. Provisions in
the way of fish and game will be pro
cured from the Indians who have vil
lages close by. The vessels are the
steamers Grampus and Mary D. Hums
and the schooner Nicolene. Allnring
stories of bowhead whales being so thick
in the water that you could walk about
on their backs as on broken ice led flu
vessels to their present location.—Saa

Insurance Against Disease.
In certain instances there have been
arrangements made between a physician
and the head of a family that a fixed am
ount should be paid for each day the va
rious members of the family continued
in good health. But should sickness en
ter the household, the physician’s usual
stipend was discontinued. Such an agree
ment is founded on common sense, for
we don’t want to be made well, we want
to be kept well. There is a great deal
of unnecessary sickness resulting from
a want of careful attention to bodily re
quirements. Keep the blood pure, keep
the' functional habits of the body regular,
counteract the effects of exposure by al
ways having a bottle of Dr. John Bull s
Sarsaparilla in the household and usingit
in anticipation of an attack of illness or
when the very first symptoms are mani
fest. Disease will not trouble yon if von
will heed this good advice. It ts an excel
lent preventive of disease and decay, as
well as a safe cure.—[Marion Banner.

Origin of a Common Expression.
“Barking np the wrong tree” is a very
common expression in the west. It orig
inated from the fact that a dog will hark
at the foot of a particular tree to indi
cate to his master where the game is
located. While endeavoring to see the
animal he discovers it on another tree,
and it finally escapes him altogether. In
its application it denotes that a person
has mistaken his object or is looking for
it in the wrong plgce.—Detroit Free
Press.
It was Ben Johnson, we believe, when
asked Mallock’s question, “Is life worth
living?” replied, “That depends on the
liver.” And Ben Johnson doubtless saw
the double point to the pun. The liver ac-
