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.

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. —Sunday School Times.

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 trying to keep the thing on more than balanced her vexation at spoiling a glove 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 wealth. Tiie Service Is Civil. Bunting—In Japan the servants In variably treat their employers with def erential consideration. Laviin—Japan has n civil service law, Un/,! suppose.—Mnnsey’s Weekly. 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. II® Gently bnt Firmly Refused. ‘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. When children swallow marbles or coins it is a mistake to give a purgative. The strange matter will find an escape input without effort.
