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.
