R1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1891.
* l* A Drummer Squelched.
It was in the old days, when traveling
by stage coach was more common than
it is at present, that the then archbUtop
of Paris, Monseigneur Affre, voyaging
to a nearby parish, took place inn dili
gence with a number of gentlemen of
different social stations Among the
gronp was aT| ting d rammer for a busi
ness house who, like his successors of a
later era, was ever on the lookout for a
good story in his own mind and practi
cal joke. The clerical stauding of the
archbishop did not exempt him even
from attempts at banter or witticism,
but with the consideration ho thought
dne to the company present he passed
the youngster’s efforts over with merely
an indulgent smile. Waxing bolder by
this apparent immunity, the ydung trav
eler at last went beyond all bounds of
proper respect.
“Can yon tell me, your grace,” he
asked spiritedly, “the difference between
the archbishop and an ass?"
The reverend gentleman, with bis cus
tomary courtly manner and without the
least appearance of offense or resent
ment, replied that ho could not.
“Because,” replied this clown in his
own little circus, “the one beam a cross
on bis breast and the other on his back.''
The sally, such as it was, was met by
the most frigid silence by all the pas
sengers save the archbishop, who smil
ingly inquired:
“Now, in my turn, I'd like you to tell
ns the difference between a commercial
traveler und un nss?”
As though it were a mystery us deep
as the Sphinx the young wit pondered
for some time and then gave it up. ’
“I don't see it,” he confessed.
"Neither do I,” replied the archbishop:
“there isn't any."
The smart drummer got off at the next
changing of hones.—Washington Star.
Tha Conversational Circle.
The circle must not be too large. I
say nothing of public banquets of strang
ers. They are a contradiction in terms.
Big dinner parties of ill assorted guests
also are failures from a conversationist
point of view. A fireside, or a table,
round if possible, and. say, four or half a
dozen guests, are sufficient. More will
break np into separate knots, and fewer
mean a tete-a-tete. “I had.” says T*>-
rean, “at Walden three chairs in my
house, one for solitude, two for friend
ship, three for society." The hermit
Thorean in his hut at Walden was wiser
than the man who looks for society in n
crash.
An nnhappy husband, living in Port
land place, whose wife inflicted huge
parties upon him, was standing in n
very forlorn condition leaning against
the chimney piece. A gentleman came
np to him and suid; “Sir, as neither of
ns is acquainted with any of the people
here, I think we had best go home."
Social crowds must not expect the great
men amongst them to talk well. She
most have been a most unreasonable
person wiio was disappointed with Na
poleon because, when a lot of ladies
were presented to him, he only remarked
to each of them how hot it was.—Gen
tleman’s Magazine.
THE DAY FOR ME.
A brflUant iky. a fins bare tree,
800# toft mow blowing down the dopes
The cedars gram u they can be.
The sunshine foil of life and hope-
Theee fill one's heart with glee.
This is the day for met
A warm, sweet noun, with flowers round.
And insects happy In the sun;
With green things rising from the ground.
Their higher life not long begun -
Halil blossom, bird and bee.
This is the (lay for roc!
A richer shy. a deeper green.
A happy e.-nae of K-etia-arnad rest:
A s-jmimr loort -cup • full of aboeu,
T le world: It* brightest, svvoo;est. beet;
A swaying seat iu a truo-
Thia is thu slay for me!
The glowing wood* In splendor stand
(Their wealth la hid from careless sight):
The eye may feast on every hand:
To he alive Is pore delight.
Oh,uutuinn wind so free.
This is the day for me!
Be not so fast, joy pulsing heart:
These Ideal (lays make not the year:
They only form its perfect part.
Some most be rainy, cold and drear.
Const then say earnestly
"Tbls is the dny for ray.'
-Annie Isabel Willis in Boston Pilot.
Itest Is Necessary.
A man who has so much to do that ho
will work nights and Sundays a3 well ns
week days is not likely to do ns much it.
the long ran ns the man who rests at
God'8 appointed times in order to fit
himself for effective work between
these times. Many a busy man breaks
down a great deal earlier than he needs
to, becanse he insists on working when
rest is his first duty. And many a man
who observes God's law of the night
and the Sabbath, written in man’s very
nature, accomplishes far more in a series
of years than he could have wrought
with any violation of that law.
Mr. Gladstone, speaking not long ngo
of his own experiences in busy life, said
of the high privilege of “Sunday rest,"
“Personally, I have always endeavored,
so far as circumstances have allowed, to
avail myself of this privilege, and now
that 1 have arrived near the goal of a
laborious public career of close on fifty-
seven years, I attribute in great part to
this practice the prolonging of my life
and the preservation of my faculties.'
A trao man can do more i.i six days tha:
he can in seven, week by week, as he
can do more in sixteen iionrs than in
twenty-four, day by day. for a lifetime.

Poleon bj Absorption.
The slow absorption of many poisons
changes iu somo more or less modified
form the complexion, bnt arsenic and nm-
monia show their effect about ns quickly
os any. The popular belief that arsenic
clears the complexion has led many silly
women to IdU themselves with it in
small, continued doses.
It producos a waxy, ivorylike appear
ance of the skin daring a certain stage
of the poisoning, bnt its terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com
plexion are directly opposite from that
of arsenic. The first symptoms of am
monia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is
a discoloration of the skin of the nose
and forehead. This gradually extends
over the face, until the complexion has a
■ stained, blotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses, as
with their water and food, these strik
ing symptoms do not appear so soon.
The only effect of the poison that is vis
ible for a time is a general unwholesome
ness and sallowness of the complexion.—
St. Paul Globe.
Th. Notices Are All flight.
Visitors to the clerk’s office of the su
perior court who hare occasion to nse
the writing table that stretches across
the room have been startled recently by
largo placards tacked about two feet
apart informing whom it may con
cern that “these inkstands must not
' be taken away." Since “these ink-
stands” are about the size of the average
hat, and are kept tilled with ink, the
warning seems quite as gratuitous ns it
would bo to placard notices to people not
to walk off with a red hot stove.
A lawyer who took offense at these
notices got one of the office veterans in
n comer the other day and asked him if
he did not think such a notice was car
rying a joko perilously far. The veteran
shook his head, and in saddened tones
thru answered:
“In the mistakes of the past we should
seek our guidance for the future.”—New
York Times.
Somewhat Trying. Nevertheless.
Do not suppose that a young woman
ia necessarily in on nnamiable frame of
mind when yon meet her bearing a
muddy overshoe in hand. The relief
that she experienced when she gave np

and boot; bnt oh! the things that women
think and don’t say when at every step a
misfit overshoe drops down at the heel
would make-a volume for the govern
ment to suppress.—Boston Common

Mull la Early California liar*.
A Californian tells this story of boom
times in San Diego. The general deliv
ery window of the postoflice was always
crowded. One week the mails were de
layed for several days, and when they
were at last distributed the line of in
quirers at the general delivery window
of the postoince extended for six blocks.
A man who fell in line in the early
morning got to the window and received
his mail nboat 8 o’clock in the evening.
One old lady, who had plenty of time
on her bands, took with her a camp stool
and her lnnch basket, and camped right
there on the line. She received no let
ter, and turned awny apparently happy,
although she waited in line for seven
hours. When this mail accumulated the
postmaster made no nttempt to distribute
the newspapers. They were simply piled
np in one corner, and finally a wagon
load of newspaper mail was carted away
from the postoffice. To be distributed?
Oh, no; to be dnmped into San Diego
bay.—Exchange.
The “Fan."
I have seen it stated over and over
again that “fail”—autumn— is an Amer
icanism. I am not sure that I have ever
seen it contradicted. I myself learned long
ago that to a Dorset rustic “fall" was
the word of native speech, “a’tumn” a
mere high polite exotic. (Is it so still, I
wonder, in this day of board schools?)
However, here is a passage from a book
of the Seventeenth centnry, in which
“spring and fall” ore spoken of ns a Dor
set man might speak:
“And this 1 doe, not so verie expreslie,
by occasion of my contingent health,
though still, If I secure not from some
decaies this spring, I may chance do it
lesse happilie in the fall."—Notes and
Queries.

‘Reginald." exclaimed an up town
bride of two months, ns she returned
from n shopping tour, “I saw the love
liest diamond uecklnce imaginable to
day: and so cheap, too; it can bo bought
for a mere song." Then she paused to
hear wlmt remark Reginald wonld make.
'My darling," qnoth he, “you know how
gladly I would grant you every wish;
but 1 griove to say that iu this case I am
nnable to do so. Nature lias not en
dowed me with the [lower of producing
vocal melody. 1 could not sing though I
should be promised a solitaire for every
note.”—Lockport Journal.
In case of a person choking from some
thing sticking in the tliroat or windpipe,
try and dislodge it with the fingers, or a
blunt [minted scissors may be used. A
hairpin with a loop on its end is also
useful. Holding the person with the
heels in the air und vigorous thumping
on the back is also of freqnout service.
