THE HENRY BOUNTY WEEKLY
A Lesson In Politeness.
The tempatation to correct the man
ners of children who are not taught bt
parents to conduw* themselves proper
ly in public places is very strong. A
genthman yielded to this tempation on
a New York elevated car recently un
ter circumstances which may be par
loned to him, although he undoubtedly
exceeded his right.
He was sitting, as he relates in the
New Y'ork Press, iu a car in which all
the seats were taken. A stout womau,
flashily dressed, sat opposite him, hold
ing a small hoy between her kneet.
As the car stopped, a person who
at next the gentleman got out, and as
workiug girl, carrying a big bundle,
came in and started to take the vacant
seat.
But the womau with the boy was too
quick for her. She pushed the hoy
quickly into the seat, just before the
girl ould take it, and looked compla
cently about her as if she could not see
the girl at all.
The gentleman might have risen and
given the girl his own seat, but be did
not. He put his arm around the boy’s
waist, liftel him to the floor and said:
“Now take olf yonr hat aud oiler
your seat to that, young lady ”
The boy ran to his mother’s knees.
The girl hesitated, but took the seat,
as the gentleman beckoned her to it.
And then the mother of the child burst
out into a violent denunciation of the
man’s “ungentlemauly” conduct.
“Ai.d let me tell you, sir,” she said
finally, “don’t you ever meddle wit's
other people’s children again!”
“Madam,” responded the gentle
man, “if mothers do not train their
sons to grow up as gentlemen some one
else should How do not you expect
r,hat boy to respect his mother’s sex,
when his mother sets him the example
f despis'tig other women's claims to
courtesy?”

Uncle Tom and Ilis Sulphur Hath.
Our story for this writing is one that
occurred in the room in which I am
now writing, mote than fifty years
agoue. Old uncle Tom Fears was the
good old man, who was the chief factor
in our story, of his sulphur hath. Uucle
Tom, during one of his spells of serious
sfflicti m, came to pa’s to be treated
under the supervision of ray father and
mother, in whom uncle Torn had great
er confidence than any one else at that
time. Many years previous to this
uncle Tom had been badly salivated,
and duriug this spell of his affliction
lie came to pa’s to be treated under the
old Thomsonian sytem of medical
treatment. In cases of deep salivation,
it became necessary, under botanical
treatment, to give the “sulphur hath,”
to eradicate the almost incurable effects
of a salivation produced with calomel.
For the information of those who
are not familiar with the process of ad
ministering the “sulphur bath,” per
haps I had better tell how this part of
botanical treatment was performed. A
medium-sized hogshead was provided
and placed in the iuvalid’s room. Ou
the bottom of this large barrel a suf
ficient quantity of sand was placed and
a smooth flat rock, which was made
hot enough to melt the sulphur, (flour
of sulphur was used); this was poured
through a long cane down on the hot
rock, which was just hot enough to
melt the sulphur. Over this rock was
placed a stool, some 18 or 20 inches
high, on which the invalid was seated.
A blanket was thrown over the top of
the hogshead, and brought up around
his neck. The vapor arisiug from the
hot melted sulphur, which rose all
around the patient, constituted the
curative sulphur hath.
Well, the first bath given uncle
Tom was handsomely accomplished.
The decided improvement this bath
made in uncle Tom’s eufeebled condi
tion of course suggested the propriety
of another bath. Preparation was
made for the second hath, aud with the
aid of three stout, strong men, uncle
Tom was again assisted iuti the hogs
head and everything made ready for
the pouring of the sulphur; but this
time the heated rock was over'charged
iu its temperature, and set the sulphur
on fire. Jt tpok three men to help get
uncle Tom in that barrel, but when
that melted sulphur caught on fire
uncle Tom cam? out ol that hogshead
without any-help. My father was so
amused on seeing how suddenly uncle
Tom’s locomotive or physical forces
w -re improved, he made a smiling ex
hihition of his countenance, which
uncle Tom observed. As much as the
nature of the case would admit of, un
cle Tom was fighting mad. W. T. G.
The Lone Little Grave at St. Paul.
Whose new grave is that? It is a
mother’s darling infant. None but a
mother can • feel the heart crushing
anguish, when, after all she could do,
the cold, icy hand of death, regardless
of her most earnest prayer, chdls the
vibrating pulse of her preoious infant,
that so loviugly nestled upon her
breait. Those who may feel any in
terest in this mother’s deep bereave
ment, know what mother it is, whose
gweet little baby was recently chosen
to occupy the first little grave that
consecrates the burying ground at St.
Paul. Let me say to you, grief emit
ten mother, when you go to visit that
lone little grave, look not down as
though your darling little baby was
lying cold and hungry, with no loving
mother to care for it now. Down in
that little grave is only the mortal ten
ement, in which it came into existence,
but it is not there, unless the glorious
Son of God never rose from the grave.
If you could but lift the curtain, berefi
I parents, and see your darling baby
riding on angel wiugs, ycrnr tears of
sorrow would all vanish away, and ho
kannahs of rejoicing would come rush
| ing from your hearts like a summer
breeze, to console your fainting spirit.
; Bow down, l iving mother, under the
' shadow of tbe cross and the Master
will lift you up. “Earth has no sor
row that heaven cannot cure.” It no
one else is found there,your sweet little
baby will be there, to welcome you
home in our Father’s many-mansion
hous”. W. T. G.

Why Latin Is Used.
"1 don’t see,” said the man Who wa
.caning against the drug storp counter
*«hy a doctor can’t write his prescrip
tion in English instead of Sup
pose I need some whiskey one ot those
Roosevelt Sundays. Suppose sys
tem nbsolutely requires whiskeyt thst
my health aud future usefulness to so
ciety depeud upon it. Well, Iwo to
my doctor and get a prescription. It
calls for spiritus frumenti. No#, that
ain't what I want. I want whiskey.
Why cau’t he come out flit foot#! and
say so? But I suppose he thinks that
would be giving the game avAy. I
suppose he would rather I’d tue his
wisdom with a grain of chloriilfeof so
dium than with a graiu of salt«s Isn’t
that it?”
The druggist smiled ans*|»*id:
“You've got the same idea mcjU peo
ple have. Y’ou think, 1 suppwtt, that
the ductor writes his presetiepotr in
Latin so it can’t be read so eusy—so
the layman can’t steal his trade aud
learn wbat he isgiviug him. But that’s
all wrong. Iu the first place fjEßin is
a more exact and concise language than
English, and, being a dead laiguage,
does not change as all liviug languages
“Then, again, since a
part of all drugs in use are btuanical
they have iu the the
same names that they have in botany—
the scientific names. Two thirds of
such drugs haven’t any English names
and so couldn’t lie written in English
But suppose a doctor did wrlts a pre
scription in English for an uneducated
patient. The patieut reads it. * thinks
he remembers it, and so tries target it

Suppose, for instance, it called for
iodide of potassium and he got it con
fused with cynedide of potassium. He
could safely take ten grains of the first,
but one grain of the second would kill
him as dead as a mackerel. That’s an
exaggerated case, but it will serve for
an example. Don't you see taw the
Latin is a protection aud a satrejurd

au interest in questions that co.c-rn

We have said this much fur the pur- j
pose of endorsing the following extract
advising what kind of men to support
for office. Give it carful consideration:
“It behooves every county to send
her very host men to the next legisla
ture. There are questions commiug up
before that body which will require
the earnest considerations of thoughtful
men, who have no private scheme to
promote and uo axes to grind. It will
loom up for final settlement before that
body and will require much attention.
Ou questions of such grave import no
meu should temporize, nor should there
be auy hesitations iu haudling them
There must be no dodging of the issues
and those who offer for the Legislature
should do with the fullest sense of the
responsibility that will devolve upon
them iu the discharge of their duties.
There will be a United States Senator
to elect, another question of prime itn
portauce.
It is to be hoped that the people will
bear all these things in mind when they
cast their votes for representatives from
the various counties Georgia affairs
are tu good shape now, and there
should he no tampering with public
questions for the promotion of personal
or private ends. If ever the State was
in need of earnest, honest, unbiased
legislators it will be during the coming
session.

support any man for any office, uuless

questions must not only he right, hut
he must be right himself morally, aud
on all moral questions.

Any uumher of newspapers have bad
shy at him, and it is noticeable that the
concensus of opinion is that he is the
man who tries to lie out of what he
owes for subscription.
Wherever a newspaper is published
there he flourisheth. He has been
known for gent rations back aid his
tactios have changed, but slightly.
lie lies as cheerlully as ever, and his
oily statements make ijuite as much itn
pr< ssiou as of yoie.
He is the man who, when dunned
for a year’s subscription, says he only
received two or three copies during the
year and refuses to pay. And also the
man who takes the paper for six or
seven years and when finally cornered
for a settlement says he never ordered
the paper at all. He also appears in
the form of a person who takes the pa
per foi several years and then moves
away without paying or saying any
thing about it, and yet sa>s he is an
honest man.

he paid up last year aud doeseu’t owe

Crisp For President.
In a recent letter concerning candi
dates for the democratic nomination
for the presidency, the Washington
i correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu
tion mentions Secretary Carlisle, Sen
ator Hill of Now Y’ork, Gov. Matth
ews of Indiana, Secretary Olney, and
thou ex-Speaker Crisp, as follows:
“There is another name that is be
ing mentioned more and more as the
days pass by. It is that of ex-Speaker
Crisp of Georgia. At the beginning
of the present administration, when
there was talk of Carlisle as tho possi
ble nominee, there was very much of
sentiment engendered that the time
had about come when the ban
upon a section of the country as patri
otic as auy other should be removed
and a southern man put ou the ticket.
That sentiment has grown notably,
and it ceuters around the ex speaker
now that Mr. Carlisle has effaced him
self by his acts. Aud the ex-spoaker
himself has grown during the present
congress. There was some speculation
just before congress met as to who
would be the leader of tho miuority iu
the house. That speculation ceased as
soon as tho wheels began to go round.
By universal consent the leadership
was put into the hands of Mr. Crisp.
That he is doing exactly us tho bust
interests of the party dicta’e no one
questions.
“The democratic nomination is going
either west or south unless all signs
fail. Auil thorn are not a few who
believe it ought to go to Crisp.”

A most remarkable story of saving
an ocean steamer hy prayer was given
out when the Northern Facific steamer
Tacoma arrived from China and Japan
at Tacoma. Last week, when 1,000
miles from Yokohoma and near mid
ocean, a “twister” struck the vessel,
and all hut wrecked it. The waves
dashed over her, carrying awav all the
upper decks. All coutrol of the steam
er was lost, aud she wont drifting about
at the mercy of the big waves. Then
she listed, and the officers, losing hope,
congregated in the surgeon’s cabin,
and united in prayer. Several hun
dred gallons of oil had been cast up< n
the angry sea, but to no avail.
Soon after the officers jjiued in
prayer the storm suhsidud, the vessel
righted iiself, amt the otlicsrs cleared
away the wreckage on the deck and
brought the steamer safely into port.
