Austrian Dogs.
In Austria, while tho large dogs are
made to work, and make themselves use
ful in various ways, tho little fellows aro
taken to the bosoms cf the ladies, and
treated as if they were veritable angels.
It is not uncommon, when traveling, to
see almost every lady with a dog in her
arms, and occasionally a footman or
maid, whose sole duty in traveling with
the mistress is to take oare of the dog,
and see that he has water and food on
the route.
r l3ie doctors tell many amusing anec
dotes of having been called up at mid
night and finding that their services were
needed for a poodle that had been over
fed in tho effort to kill them with kind
ness. They could make heavier charges,
with the assurance of prompt payment,
in such cases, than if the patient had
been a child or a husband. “ Love me,
love my dog,” seems to be the sentiment
<rf these ladies; and on one occasion the
writer saw a finely-dressed lady, who
had her dog in her arms, take off her
gloves while standing in a railway sta
tion, and diligently jmrsuo and kill a
flea which she had discovered depredat
ing among the fleece of her favorite. It
is quite common to see them led tender
ly along with ribbons, and in some oases
to see a gold chain attached to a lady's
belt, and at the other end of the chain a
poodle dog traveling by her side or re
posing in her arms.
Signs in the shop windows tell yon
that “Dog soap is sold here,” and that
various patent compounds that will in
duce canine health and longevity are on
sale. A lady walking in any of the pub
lic gronnds with a dog is sure to be ac
costed by a number of seedy-looking in
dividuals, who will draw out of their
pockets pups, which they offer for sale.
The offering for sale of anything in the
public grounds being prohibited, they
thus keep them concealed in their pock
ets. In the upper grades of life a moth
er trusts her children to servants and
governesses, but her poodle dog she
keeps under her own eye; and a scream
from the nursery might pass unheeded,
but a yelp from the drawing-room or the
boudoir would startle “her Ladyship”
from the soundest sleep. Os course
there are exceptional eases, but it in
cludes most of those who aspire to fash
ionable life. We see dogs caressed much
more than children are, and their comfort
studied with jealous care.
School Children’s Headaches.
Dr. A. Jacobi, of New York, in a paper
on “Neuralgia in Infancy and Child
hood, ” read before the Kings County
Medical Society, said of the hard
worked school children nowadays, their
long confinement in school-rooms and at
home, the consecutive disorders of the
circulation, the insufficient oxygenation
of the blood because of lack of exercise,
the digestive disorders resulting from
their sedentary life, are just as many
causes of impoverishment of the blood
and insufficient nutrition and stimulation
of the nervous system. In all these
cases headaches are very frequent.

The lecturer then spoke at great
length on tho necessity for pure air,
water and milk, giving several instances
of the deleterious effects of bud air,
among others that of the passengers on
the ship Londonderry iu 1848, 150 of
whom were shut up by the Captain dur
ing a storm, iu the steerage, an apart
ment 18x12x7 feet. Seventy of them
died iu an incredibly-short time, having
convulsions and bleeding at the eyes and
ears. Speaking of the danger of im
proper air in dwelling-houses, the lect
urer described a house ho hail examined
in which he fouud the cold-aii box of tho
furnace connecting directly with tho
sewer. In another house he know of
three cases of malaria where the tenant,
examining a drain that the owner had
guaranteed to be all right, found a cess
pool under the house. He had also
known people to put their garbage bar
rels under the cold-air box of the fur
nace. People should examine the
plumbing in their houses for themselves
and not be satisfied when a plumber
said it was right. Whenever it was
possible, a tenant, builder or purchaser
of a house should insist that the plumb
ing work be all iu sight and not buried
ii walls. If people would all insist
upon it houses would soon be built so.
But if the plumbing is in tho walls tho
peppermint test should be applied. A
considerable quantity of the essence of
peppermint shpuld lie poured mto’tho
highest trap in tlio house, and if there
was a break anywhere tho peppermint
odor would betray it. Bad odors in a
house were Jiko the rattles of a rattle
snake. They meant bad plumbing and
danger.
He then spoke earnestly in regard to
vaccination, saying that 100 years ago
ten deaths in every 100 were caused by
small-pox. Now, by vaccination and
isolation, tho prevalence of tho disease
was checked. By being vaccinated iu
infancy and once in fifteen or twenty
years afterward a person was compara
tively safe ; but, by being vaccinated
about once in seven years he was as safe
as he could bo. He then concluded
with a few directions iu regard to disin
fecting and nursing in cases of infec
tious diseases. — New York Herald.
Benevolence to Animals.
Almost all boys are fond of dogs, and
yet nearly all will persecute cats, rob
bird’s nests and pelt frogs. There are
exceptional boys who delight in cruelty,
and they frequently grow up with their
evil propensities strengthened by ago
and exercise. There are also men of
brutal disposition who have acquired
their ruffianism after passing through the
juvenile stages of their existence, and
they are at once the plagues and the
puzzles of society, defying its punish
ments and resisting its benevolent en
| deavors.
Cruelty to animals is partly the work
of brutal natures, and partly perpetrated
by well-meaning people, under the in
fluence of bad habits; and if we could
estimate the total quantity of cruel in
fliction imposed upon birds, beasts, rep
tiles and fish, be should probably find
that by far the larger proportion resulted
from the ill-regulated action of good
and even benevolent persons. Much of
ill treatment of animals comes out of
the ordinary proceedings of trade. It
has been the custom to bleed calves, to
cram sheep and poultry into the smallest
possible apparatus of transport, to drive
cattle for long distances without permit
ting them to drink and to slaughter
them without sufficient avoidance of
pain. Each little circle in which these
malpractices occur forms its own theory
of cruelty and benevolence, and laughs
scornfully at outsiders who object to its
ways. The fox-hunter thinks a man a
fool who reminds him of the unbenevo
lent character of his sport, and the fine
ladies who flock to aristocratic pigeon
matches have no more compunction at
witnessing the suffering of the poor
birds than tho Spaniards have for tho
gored horses and tortured bulls in their
disgusting national recreation. It may
be affirmed that the cruelty of custom
or indifference does not lead to the de
moralization which inevitably results
from a deliberate choice of action that
inflicts unnecessary pain, and yet all
familiarity with needless rind useless
suffering must tend to damage charac
ter, unless it excites strenuous resistance
to the evil and efforts tor its cure,
Incident of Lincoln’s Marder.
“ Those are not cheerful-looking
things, are they?” said Counselor M. A.
McDonald, as he sauntered into tho of
fice of the United States Marshal, and j
pointed to a pair of handcuffs which were
lying upon the table.
“Not especially enlivening,” replied
a deputy, picking up the rogue’s
bracelets and examining them thought
fully.
“There was a time when I though;,
t hey were the most cheerless and terrible
things in the world. ”
Tlio deputy looked up in surprise. j
“ Yes,” continued Mr. McDonald, “ I
bud them both on my hands and feet at
once for a number of hours. I assure i
you they aro not pleasant.-thinga to
wear.”
“Were they put on to kdep you n 1
jw-’sim.w ?’’ queried the deputy, wo id er- ,
ing if his friend could, have' done any- |
’thing criminal.”
“ You would have thought so had you j
been in my place. I was arrested by f
officers who thought I was J. Wilkes
Booth.”
“NoI” ejaculated the deputy, more ■
as an expression of surprise than an in- ’
tentional reflection upon the veracity of
Mr. McDonald.
“It camo about in this way,” began '
the lawyer, whose dark hair and eyes,even
now that sixteen years have passed, bear
u striking resemblance to the assassin of
Lincoln: “ Lincoln had been murdered
but a few days, and tho entire country,
plunged in grief, was wild with desire for
revenge upon the murderer. My home |
was in Titusville, Pa,, and I was on the j
way to it from Washington, where my |
father was then a Government con- I
tractor. The route was byway
of Erie. The train had left Erie
and gone perhaps a dozen miles, when a
couple of officers surprised me by put- |
ting me under arrest ami clapping hand
cuffs on my feet. In vain 1 protested.
They would not believe that I was not
Wilkes Booth. To add to the unpleas- I
outness of the thing, and a fact which
also gave color to the belief that I was
the President’s assassin, it was well
known that Booth had interests in the
oil regions of Pennsylvania, and had
been there a number of t imes. The men
who arrested me did so upon the
strength of my great resemblance to a
picture of Booth which they had in their
possession. When it became known on
the train that the assassin of Lincoln had '
been arrested and was on that very
train, the excitement was intense. The
officers who were guarding me had all
they could do to prevent the infuriated
passengers from doing me bodily harm.
It had been telegraphed along the line
of the road that Lincoln’s murderer was
under arrest, and would pass through on
his way to Titusville. At every station
the train was met by infuriated men who
climbed upon woodpiles to get a glimpse
of me, and many times on that journey
1 feared that the mob would get posses
sion of me. When the train reached
Curry there was a man boarded the train
who knew me. But tho officers would
not listen to him, and it was not until ;
Titusville was reached,where every man, |
woman and child knew me, that the
handcuffs and manacles were removed
from my wrists and ankles, and I was
allowed my liberty. I have the photo
graph which furnished tho clew to the |
officers who arrested me in my posses
sion now.”— Denver Tribune.
Some Fam|liar Sayings.
Shakspeare gives us more pithy say- j
ings than any other author. From him
wo cull, “Count their chickens ere they
are hatched.” “Make assurance doubly
sure.” “Look before you leap.”
“ Christmas comes but once a year.”
Washington Irving gives us “ The Al
mighty Dollar.” Thomas Norton quer
ied long ago, “What will Mrs. Grundy
say?’’while Goldsmith answers, “Ask
me no questions and I’ll tell you no fibs. ”
Thomas Tasser, a writer of the sixteenth
century, gives us, “ It’s an ill wind that
turns no good,” “ Better late than nev
er,” “Look ere thou leap,” and “The
stone that is rolling will gather no moss.”
“All cry and no wool ” is found in But
ler’s “Huilibras.” Dryden says: “None
but tho brave deservo tho fair,” “ Men
are but children of the larger growth,”
“ Through thick and thin.” “Os two
evils I have chosen the least,” and “The
end must justify the means,” are from
Mathew Prior. We are indebted to Col
ley Cibber for the agreeable intelligence
that “ Richard is himself again,” Cow
per tells us that “Varietyis the spice of
life.” To Milton we owe “The Para
dise of Fools.” From Bacon comes
“ Knowledge is power,” and Thomas
Southerns reminds us th it “ Pity’s akin
to love.” Dean Swift thought that
“Breadis the staff of life.” Campbell
found that “ Coming events cast their
shadows before,” and “’Tis distance
lends enchantment to the view.” “A
thing of beauty is a joy forever,” is from
Keats. Franklin said “ God helps those
who help themselves,” acd Lawrence
Sterne comforts us with the thought
that “ God tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb.”
So far from persistence being an as
sociate of weakness and inferiority, it is
itself a power which underlies and up
holds all others, and without which they
could never develop into value or effi
ciency. The feeble, inefficient, inferior
man is he who, whatever may be his
■ latent abilities, lacks the force necessary
to make the most of them.
It is a remarkable fact that the centre
i of population of the United States has
advanced in a straight line since 1790,
due west from Baltimore.
Good nature extracts sweetness from
i everything with which it comes in con
! tact, as the bee extracts honey from
every flower which it visits.

Laughing Away n Duel. r
Laughter is an antidote to anger. Even
a duel has been prevented by some
amusing answer which turned wrath
into mirth. A man holding both his
sides can’t hold a pistol.
A Georgia Judge named White, who
wore a cork leg, once challenged a
brother of the bench, Dooly by name,
and a wag, to mortal combat. At the
appointed hour both appeared on the
field, but Dooly was alone. White
sent his friend to ask where his an
tagonist’s second was. “Gone into
the woodsy’ replied the humorous
Dooly, “to get a bit of a hollow tree
to put one of my legs in, that we may be
even.”
The answer was too much for Judge
White; he laughed and so did his
sedond, and the challenge was with
drawn.
An Irsh lawyer, who had never fired
a pistol, was challenged Try a famous
duelist whom he had offended by severe
comments upon his testimony iu court.
The duelist, having been crippled in
one of his duels, came limping upon
the ground. He had one favor to ask,
permission to lean against a mile-stone,
as he was unable to stand without sup
port.
Tho request was granted, and, just
as the word “Fire!” was about to be
given, the lawyer said ho also hod a
request to make. He asked the privi
lege of leaning against the next mile
stone.
A hearty roar of laughter from seconds
and challenger dissijiated all thoughts
of a duel.
The great orator of the Revolution,
Patrick Henry, once received the follow
ing note, preliminary to a challenge
from Gov. Giles, of Virginia:
“Sir: I understand you have called
mo a ‘bob-tail’ politician. I wish to
know if it be true ; and, if true, youi
meaning.”
Mr. Henry replied in this style :
“ Sir : I do not recollect having called
yon a ‘ bob-tail ’ politician at any time,
but I think it probable I have. Not
recollecting the time or occasion, I can’t
say what I did mean, but, if you .
will tell me what you tliink I meant,
I will say whether you are correct or
not.”
Os course there was no duel. — Youth’»

bility and disease of the kidneys, blad
der and skin, that have defied the doc
tors and resisted all other medical
springs, are. getting well there every
week so easily and quickly that the in
valids almost come to the conclusion
that there never was much the matter
with them. If you are so unfortunate
as to be interested in such matters, drop
a postal card to Ellis & Co., and ask for
a circular. Then write to the parties
whose names are signed to the certifi
cate, and if there is any humbug about
it, you’ll soon find it out.
Lamentations.
' Life is a strange mass of contradic
tions. When you expect least enjoyment
you obtain tho most; where you think
you have given most satisfaction, you
i have given least. When you are sick,
YOU would be well; when well you try to
be sick. When you fancy yourself the
wisest of men, you aro the dadoist of
i fools. The girl you are most in love with
is least in love with you. What you can
not get yon would obtain; what you have
you do not value.
Wicked for Clergymen.
Rev. , Washington, D. C., wiites : ‘‘l
believe it to be all wrong and even wicked
foi clergymen or ther public men to be led
into giving testimonials to quack doctors or
1 vile stufb called medicines, but when a
i really meritorious article made of valuable
remedies known to a l, that all physicians
i use and trust in daily, we should freely
I commend it. I therefore cheerfully and
1 heartily commend Hop Bitters for the cood
i they have done me and my f lends, firmly
i believing they have uo equal for family use.
