Spoiled as an Acrostic.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Tlmt poem you published tlii-s
morning was rather clever, Mr. < log-
ston,” remarked the caller, ‘'though
to the critical reader it might have
seemed a trifle incoherent and dir>-
couucctcd.” “That poem, replied
the editor of the Doodlevillc lclpoi,
fishing a fly out of his paste pot,
“was a contribution. After we had
the forms made up we discovered it
was au acrostic conveying the intima
tion that ‘Clugstun is a darned
chump.’ Wc had no time to vail,
and hadn't anything to take the place
of that poem, so I told the foreman
to change the order of the verses and
mix up the lines so that flic first let
ters wouldn’t spell anything, and go to
press. It spoiled the thing for an
acrostic,” continued Mr. (’Illusion
with a heavy sigh, indicative of the
burden that oppressed the mind of a
man charged with the destinies of a
great journal, “hut it didn’t seem to
hurt it much ns a poem.
Girls Kept in Cages.
United States Consul Griffin, sta
tioned at Sydney, N. S. A\ .,. tells of a
remarkable custum of the inhabitants
of New Britian, as follows : “ 1 he in
habitants, it is said by Wallace, have a
peculiar custom of confining the r girls
in cages until they are old enough to
be married. The custom is snid^ to
be peculiar to the people of New
Britian. The cages are made of the
palm tree, and girls areput in to them
when 2 or 3 years of age. The Rev.
George Brown established a Wesleyan
mission in New Britian in 1S76, and I
ltarn from him that these cages are
built inside of the houses, and the
girl is never allowed to leave the house
under any circumstances. 'I he houses
are fenced with a sort of wicker work
made of reeds. Ventilation under
these circumstances is rather difficult.
The girls are said to grow up strong
and healthy in spite of these disad
vantages.—New York Telegram.
The American girl would kick at
this; kick clean out of the traces and
out of the cage.
According to a computation just is
sued by an eminent statistician, the
cost in human life of the wars of the
last thirty four years has been 2,253,-
000 souls. The Crimean war cost
750,000 men; the Italian war (1850)
45,000; the Danish war (1S54) 3,000;
the American civil war—the northern
states 2So,ooo, the southern states
520,000; the Austro-l’russian war -45»“
000. the Franco German war—France
155,000, Germany 60,000; the Turco-
Russian war 250,000; the Mexican
and Cochin Chinese expeditions 65,-
000, the south African wars 30 000;
the Afghan war 25,000, and the Bul-
garia-Servian insurrection 25,000
This list docs not include mortality
from sickess.
“AGE CANNOT WITHER IIEB,”
rrmnrkod nn nM gentleman, ns ho gazed
fondly upon the comely h'.ilo woman by his
side; "but. frankly,” he continued, “at one
time I was afraid cosmetics would. Tho silly
llttlo woman, in order tu npponr youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, vclept ‘balms.’ ‘creams,’ ‘lotionfl,
etc” “Yes,” interrupted the little woman,
“I did, until my skin became like parchment
and 80 pimply and coarse." “Well,” sain tno
listener, “Wlmt do you use now?” “Use,”
was the reply, “ nothing but common sense
and Dr. Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Common sense told me that if my blood was
pure, liver active, appetite and digestion good,
that the outward woman would take on the
hue of health. The * Discovery ’ did all those
things and actually rejuvenated me.” If you
would possess a clear, beautiful complexion,
free from blotches, pimples, eruptions, yellow
spots and roughness, use the “ Golden Med
ical Discovery.” It is guaranteed to do
all that it is claimed to, or money paid
for it will bo promptly refunded.
