THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SLSDAY, MAY 24, 189i. JUST A little knowledge. The f'o«i Something is lost when yon use Dr. Sagc]s_ Catarrh ~ nedy. " dy. It’s Catarrh. The worst cases yield to its mild, soothing, cleansing, and healing properties. No matter how bad your case, or of how long standing, you can bo cured. Incurablo cases aro rare. It’s worth $500 to you, if you have one. Tho manufacturers of Dr. Sage’s Remedy aro looking for them. They’ll pay you that amount in cash, if they can’t cure you. It’s a plain square offer from a responsible business house, and they mean it. It seems too one-sided, too much of a risk. It would be—with any other medi- oine behind it. It only goes to prove what’s been said : incurable cases aro rare—with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Other so-called remedies may pal liate for a timo; this cures for all time. By its mild, soothing, cleans ing and healing properties, it con quers the worst cases. It removes offensive broatb, loss or impairment of the sense of taste, smell or hear ing, watering or weak eyes, when caused by tho violence of Catarrh, as they all frequently aro.

You may cook an egg in what fashion you please, but whether it is boiled, poached or fried, you will find that genn always conspicuous, when once yon know it is there, and you cannot eat the egg until you have carefully removed it. It would add considerably to my happi ness if I conld believe today what I was tanght in the nursery, that the white of an egg makes the bones of the subsequent fowl and the yelk the flesh, instead of knowing, as I do, that both are merely the food by the consumption of which the germ is developed. “But that is only a very minor in stance. My slight knowledge of patho logical anatomy, amounting to the mer est smattering, is a source of continual distress to me. Though an abstemious man, on the whole, I cannot indulge in a glass of any alcoholic beverage without realizing that 1 am subjecting my sys tem to the action of a ‘heart stimulant’ which accelerates the pulsations of that organ injuriously. The slightest sensa tion of any sort about my chest causes me to imagine, despite myself, that the tubercular bacilli are beginning to get in their deadly work upon my pulmona ry system. “Presumably it is only a trifling inter costal rheumatism, hut I am none the less uneasy. A similar feeling in the small of my back makes me think of Bright's disease. Supposing that 1 swal low an orange seed by accident, it oc curs to me at once that there is a chance for its getting into a certain useless sac attached to the stomach, where, if it does, it will occasion inflammation that is necessarily fatal before long. I know that my intestines are a prey to certain vermiculor parasites, as are those of every one else; but they do not occasion me so much annoyance us tho possibili ty, always existing, that painfnl concre tions of lime may be forming in my bladder or my liver. “A superficial knowledge of physiology takes much of the poetry out of exist ence and removes a large part of the gilding from the sublunary gingerbread, os one might say. Having acquired it, a man realizes rather painfnlly that he is largely an elevated animal after all, though hitherto lie has imagined himself chiefly mind. Supposiug that oue’s partner in the german is a thin girl, ho cannot help figuring her out as an articulated skele ton and setting an estimated price npon her as a ‘preparation’ in that guise. This does not apply, however, when she is an acknowledged heiress. Imagination is always opposed to facts, and by as much as the latter are calculated to dispel agreeable illusions; they are destructive of happiness. There fore I am inclined to think that however desirable knowledge maybe respecting things with which one lias no personal and intimate concern, it is most com fortable to know a very little about one’s self and one’s environment. ‘Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring,' ’’—Wash ington Star.

As an illustration of ono of Barnum'e inge-niousiuediodsof attracting attention to his museum may lx- mentioned the in cident of rim “briek man.” Ono day a man applied for alma to B irnnin, who was sitting in the ticket office. To the inquiry as to why he did not go to work, the mendicant replied that he would gladly do so at a dollar a day if ho could find employment. Bamtnn gave him twenty-five cents to get his breakfast, and told him to return, and he would give him a dollar and a half u day and easy work. When the man returned, Bamum gave him five bricks, and told him to place one in front of tho museum, another on tho corner of Vesey street, a third at tho corner of Fulton—on the St. Paul’s church sidt*—and the fourth on the east corner of Fulton. Returning then to tho museum, he was to take up the first brick and replace it with the fifth, and then continue his rounds, put ting down one brick and taking up the other each time. He was enjoined to answer no ques tions and to seem not to hear, and that at the end of each three-quarters of an hour he was to pass into the museum, look around at the curiosities for fifteen minutes and then resume his rounds with the bricks. Barnum says that tiie man played his part to perfection, and his eccentric conduct caused a great crowd to gather about the museum. Many of t hose, of course, went into the museum to seek some explanation as to the purpose of the “brick man.” This was kept up for several days, until the jHilice requested his withdrawal, liecause such crowds lingered about the museum that traffic was interrupted.—J.

German barbers In New York havo a curiooa system of signs anil uiysterions words by which they indicate to each other the tendency of customers to give large tips, small tips or none at all. If a new barber in a large shop gets a gen erous customer in Ills chair, u fellow workman who has shaved the generous customer before mutters in his ear, Bruns"—that is, “He tips.” “Bruns" is a distinctively German product, and till recently was never heard outside of continental barber shops. Its greatest merit is that it means nothing to per sons who are not barbers, for it hue no Indorsement from the German diction aries, and does not even enjoy the ques tionable authority of student slang. German barbers in New York desig nate a man who gives no gratuities as a muff.” Like “bruns,” “muff” is no word at all, and was invented by wily continental liarben for the needs of the shop only. The amount of the tip to be expected is revealed by the old journey men to the new ones by various contor tions of tiie fingers and by low German monosyllables of no apparent relevancy. —Montreal Star. bHING-LES —AND- LUMBER ured io furnish shorn jfaetlon guarantee ♦. p.rkers Station, loo mile* fr«i .... , on 8.

Stones Aro Composed of Shells. The trinoli. used for polishing our ta- nlowarv, is cutuposeu enthuiy of the si* licious shells of infusoria. The earthly [mint with which our houses aro colored a nothing but the remains of different species of these animals. Even the hard est rocks—the flints—show, when exam ined under the microscope, that they, too, aro composed of the skeletons of in fusoria. I once examined a thin section of a flint formerly us«h1 by the great hunter, Daniel Boone, composed of the shells of infusoria. The gun, an old flintlock rifle, from which this flint was taken, is still preserved at Frankfort, Ky. Even many of the precious stones, such as the camelian, owe their beautiful colors to the presence of fossil infusoria. —Macon Telegraph. Importance of Hroiitliing Properly. In all the various systems of physical culture now in vogue the greatest im portance is attached to taking.the breath properly. The breathing should be slow and deep, six breaths a minute being a safe average. There is still a difference of opinion in regard to the relative value of abdominal and chest breathing, and each system has its advantages. One of the best exercises for increasing the ca pacity of tho lungs is to draw a full breath very slowly and through the nose. Keep the lungs inflated us long as possible, and then expel the air suddenly through the mouth, and repeat the pro- “The use of ‘Castoria* is so universal and its merits so well known that it seems a work of supererogation to endorse it.

OLIVER, (Successor# to Little Mardkk) Care should lie taken uot to try to make tbe period of bolding the breath too long at tbe start; the more gradually the power of doing this is attained tbe better will be tbe permanent results. There are many breathing exercises, and pne of tho best is tho taking pf a deep breath and swinging the arms, first one, then the other, and finally both, while the breath is inhaled. Excessive prac tice of any system should be avoided, and the gulden rnle of taking moderate and judicious exercise should be ob served.—Now York Commercial Adver tiser. An Outfit for Traveling. A woman who has traveled a great deal abroad says: “A steamer trank ought to hold all of one's baggage for a summer trip to Europe. In addition to a warm, loose flannel wrapper for cabin use and half a dozen changes of linen, all that is really reqnired is a close fit ting traveling suit of dark cloth or serge with toque to match sitting firmly on the head in cass of a stiff breeze while upon the deck, while some prefer the less dressy worsted or velvet hood to protect the ears and throat; a short wrap of warm material, a long mackintosh to envelop the form during stormy weath er, stout shoes and a light plaid to throw over the knees, either when seated upon the deck of a steamer or traveling around in an open carriage upon land. “With this necessary outfit and alight Biitniner silk for the warmer days of sight seeing, one is well equipped for the longest journey, and may travel at ease free from the anxiety attendant upon the poesession of the usual list of tranks carried by most novices while upon a journey.”—Boston Transcript The Vanderbilt System and IU manager*.
