J ” “Good evening, sir.” “Rather unusual, isn’t it, you being down town at this hour.'' Quite time you were home at supx>er. “Quite, sir, but I’ve just been getting a trinket for Jennie. “Your wife, all—her birthday ?” “No sir,” said the workman, “but it’s my theory.” My curiosity was excited, so I asked him—this foundryman friend—what his theory was. He belongs to a class of men too eminently practical to in dulge in much theory, or any great dreaming. “It’s a theory I have, sir, to keep from growing old,” he said as we walked along, making part of the stream of hu manity that, pouring from stores and workshops, was moving west on Wash ington avenue. “You see, I was quite a time making up my mind to get mar ried. I liked the girl, but I was afraid of drifting into such a way of living as men who had been married six years did. I mean of my class-workingmen, sir.” “I understand you.” “They seemed to get shiftless—not at their work, you know, but about home. Spruce-looking fellows enough before hand, you see, but getting married seemed to make ’em careless.” “In their personal habits V” “Yes, sir. Well, I couldn’t stand that in my life, so I set myself to thinking the reason for it.” “And you found it ?” “It was mainly poverty. A man can’t keep two people looking as well on the money that cares for one. But, looking past the main question of pov erty, 1 saw that there were more par ticular causes, or, 1 don’t know just how to express myself, sir, there were things even a poor man could do if he would keep himself from falling .into those shiftless ways, and I’ve acted on my ideas and reduced my happiness to a rule that has just three main things in it.” “Yes?” “Yes, sir. The first idea that I insist on is cleanliness. The lack of that makes more poor people unhappy than low wages does.” “Are poor people not as clean as rich ones?” No, sir. I am a poor man myself, and I say that. They can’t be. Just rub your handkerchief over the sleeve of the ceat that I wear every day at the foundry. See the soot on it. Well, I can’t change this coat. I wear it at home. Of course, it soils the furniture there, and it soils my baby’s clothes when he climbs on my knee. But, see here, sir, there is soot on my neck and on my hands. I can get that off, and I do. No matter how tired I am when I come home, I wash up and have my hair looking nice and my hands and nails tidy when I sit down to my sup per table. The comfort in it is that it encourages my wife to do the same, and by an understanding between us she is always tidy herself. It would be very easy for me to neglect that, and often I am so tired that I am tempted to do so, but 1 think that if I, whose will should be the stronger one, fail in my part of the contract, I could expect nothing less from her. We are too poor to have a bath-room, but I own a sponge, and before I retire with the odor of a hard day’s work upon me, I take a quick sponge bath. The work doesn’t consume two minutes, and it not only refreshes me, but makes my presence 'welcome to her. You see, And the honest fellow took from his pocket a little package that he showed with affectionate pride. “You said there were three things you did. What is the other one ?” “I take her out somewhere at least once a week. Often it is only for a walk or a call on some neighbor, but it is a relief to her, and gets away from the monotony of her household work. About once a month it is to the theatre. I can’t afford to go oftener, and then I can’t sit in the dollar seats, but she s content to go on the second tier, and I’m always proud of her. She has a black cloak that is out of style. The sleeves are wide and not like the coats have fine rooms in the Art Building, and meet weekly for papers and dis cussions. It is not in every city that an equal number of busy men will give the time to this sort of intellectual re creation. The energy here is supera bundant; in whatever direction it is ex erted it is very effective; and it may be said, in the language of the street, that if the men of Chicago seriously take hold of culture, they will make it hum. Talmage’s Income. Albany Argus. Talmage’s income is large, and he has probably turned his attention to larger substantial gain than any public the ladies-wear now, but then I’m not man of the day. His salary as pastor very stylish myself. We always goto see some good play, and don t throw away an evening or our money on bad ones. This year we’ve seen Clara Mor ris and ‘Jim, the Penman,’ and Booth, and one or two like that. So tneie jou are. That’s the way I’ve reduced my way of living to a kind of rule, and it’s kept our home a happy one when others have been miserable. My wife knows what’s going on in the world. She has the right kind of ideas, and is something more than a housekeeper. She is a companion.” After a little farther talk on other subjects, we reached a point where our paths diverged and said good-night, This practical philosopher went to wards his home, but his philosophy, if the sensible views he held can be so called, seemed so simple and so valua ble, too, that I have felt at liberty to intrude them.

Social life is, speaking generally, as unformed, unselected, as the city— that is, more fluid and undetermined than in Eastern large cities. That is merely to say, however, that while it is American, it is young. When you come to individuals, the people in society are largely from the East, or have Eastern connections that determine their con duct. For twenty years the great uni versities, Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Princeton, and the rest, have been pouring in their young men here. There is no better element in the world, and it is felt in every pulse in the town. Young people marry and come here from every sort of Eastern circle. But the town has grown so fast, and so many new people have come into the ability so suddenly to spend money in fine houses and equipages, that the people do not know each other. You may drive past miles of good houses, with a man who has grown up with the town, who cannot tell you who any of the oc cupants of the houses are. Men know each other on ’change, in the courts, on business, and are beginning to know each other in clubs, but society has not got itself sorted out and arranged, or discovered its elements. This is a met ropolitan trait, it is true, but the con dition is socially very different from what it is in New York or Boston; the small village associations survive a lit tle yet, struggling against the territo rial distances, but the social mass is still unorganized, although “society”_is a prominent feature in the newspapers. Of course, it is understood that there are people “in society,” and dinners, and all that, in nowise different from the same people and events the world over. A striking feature of the town is the “youth” visible in social life as well as in business. An Eastern man is sur prised to see so many young men in responsible positions, at the head, or taking the mangaing oar, of great mon eyed institutions, in railroad corpora tions, and in societies of charity and culture. A youug man, graduate of the city high school, is at the same time president of a prominent bank, and president of the Art Institute. This when I was courting her, I never called j y 0l qiq\q spirit must be contagious, for apparently the more elderly men do not permit themselves to become old, either in the business or the pleasures of the Tabernacle is $12,000 per year, while his lecturing receipts are fully twice that amount. As he is the most popular lecturer in the country, his ser vices are everywhere sought, and he can afford to ask high prices. For the exclusive control of his sermons, in ad vance of the publication as reported upon their delivery, he receives from a New York firm a yearly amount nearly as large as his salary. As editor of a popular journal he receives $5,000, while his marriage fees run as high as $250 for a single ceremony. His Friday evening lectures are also syndicated to a large number of papers, and for this he gets a regular stipend. Then he has a royalty on his published books, and receives very large sums for doing odd literary work whenever he has the time. Offers of this kind come to him by every mail. Only recently he de clined an offer of $150 a week for a reg ular newspaper letter on current topics. Talmage’s expenses are, of course, large. His family live and dress well; he has a son at college, and a daughter of marriageble age, and he must meet many of the thousand and one demands that are made upon a public man. lie carries an insurance of $75,- 000 and the premium on this alone is a considerable sum. Nevertheless, hav- a shrewd and careful wife, he is enabled to lay by several thousand dollars each year, and were Talmage to die to-day his family would be more than com fortably fixed for the balance of their lives.

That was one thing she liked about me, and I don’t feel that I’ve any right to be different now. I try to sit straight in my chair, and I don’t go round- shouldered-like and old-fashioned, be cause I remember that she used to speak of how straight I was, and I know that my strength was one of the things that attracted her. You see, all that doesn’t cost anything.” “Only a little thoughtfulness.” “That’s it. Just a little thoughtful ness. -Well, it pays. She is tidier about home for it, and thinks a great deal more of me. Now, there are two other things I do.” “What are they ?” “I make it a rule to spend twenty- five cents a week on her. I see you don’t understand me. Well, twenty- five cents isn’t much. A fellow pays it for two drinks of whiskey, and it’s lit tle enough to give her. A\ ith that twenty-five c§nts I get each week some little thing exclusively for her. Maybe it’s only a comb or some paper-backed story book, or half a pound of fine candy, but it’s always something for her herself, and not a thing that others share with her, or iWiieh she uses for others. It’s never a scrub brush or anything like that. I make it a rule to get it on different days, too, find not on pay day, so she doesn’t know exactly when it’s coming. I don’t believe she even knows that the little gifts come weekly, for often they are $welye.4ays apart, but this al ways pleases lier, and although we’ve been married six years, she knows that I still haye some thought for her. Now, to-night I am taking home a new kind of tooth brush; she read about it last week and said she’d like one. of life. Everything goes on with youthful vim and spirit. Next to the youth, and perhaps more noticeable, the characteristic feature of Chicago is money-making, and the money power is as obtrusive socially as on ’change. When we come to speak of educational and intellectual tenden cies, it will be seen how this spirit is at once being utilized and mit igated; but for the moment, money is the recognized power. How could it be otherwise ? Youth and energy did not flock here for pleas ure or for society, but simply for for tune. And success in money-making was about the only one considered. And it is still that by which Chicago is chiefly known abroad, by that and by a certain consciousness with which it is noticed. And as women reflect so cial conditions most vividly, it cannot be denied that there is a type known in Europe and in the East as the Chi cago young woman—capable rather thau timid, dashing rather than retir ing, quite able to take care of herself. But this is by no means an exhaustive account of the Chicago woman of to-day. While it must he said that the men, as a rule, are too mucli absorbed in bus iness to give heed to anything else, yet this statement would need more quali fication than would appear at first, when we come to consider the educa tional, industrial, and reformatory pro jects.

I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk,'and was in pain nearly all the time. At night- could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dii- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most discouraged until about two weeks ago, when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I sit once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieveme, but not- having much faith in it-, or in anything else; but, t hank God, I am very mucii relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and 1 am in no pain whatever. Am at work again, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairway in factory as nimbly as ever. I thank vou for this earthly salvation to me. I write without your solicitation, or any knowledge of you, except through your med icine. I write because J feel grateful for what has been done for me. I am yours, very trulv, W. A. Moore, Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.

Atlanta, Ga.— Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonder ful cure your B. B. 15. lias effected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 10 years, was tajten with a very sore leg below the knee. I used about 30 bottles of oilier medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all were op posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Charnberland & Co. recommended the B. B. B. I purchased one-lialf dozen bot tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using three or fnur bottles, my giri’s leg was entire ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore on the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after trying all other remedies. I wish 3-011 much success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity ma3* hear and believe in the 011I3- true blood purifier. I have tried three or four blood purifiers, but the B.B.B-. is the only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if 3-011 wish.

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try. and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended prepar- ationsor patent medic nes 011 the market, as I have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of 3'ears, from a severe form of in - flammatoiy rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was induced by a liiend now living in Tyler to try a preparation known as 3B., or Hotanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made lip my mind to make one more effort to rid ni3"self of the terrible affliction; and now it affords me the greatest pleasure of my li;e to state to the citizens of Smith county that l am entire ly cured, with no tx-aces of the disease left, and all effected b3 _ the magic healing proper ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy known to mail. I have been subject to in flammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have bad four. The last spell came on me in November, 18S5, over a year ago, at which ;ime I was confined to my betLfor eight weeks, passing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produc ed by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time 1 had only eaten six meals and could scarcel3- sit up without support; but after us ing three bottles I was able to relish niy meals and to walk up town, and after six bot tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en- tirelv cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When I returned to business iu February- my weight was 145 pounds, but gradually Increased until my regular weight was again attained, 210pounds. Tue noticea ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalleled and remarkable dis covery B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at the verv time my sufferings and misery were the greatest.

A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and timples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove tlieffi and beau tify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary and/ left her skin in a worse condition. { I recommended an internal application- known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have been using and selling about two years; she usee three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and hergeaeral health much improved. She expresses herself as well satisfied and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson. TESTIMONIAL OF HON. TIIOS.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had suffered from that terrible disease, d3 - spepsia for over fifteen 3-ears, and during that time tried everything I could hear of, and spent over three hundred dollars iu doctor’s bills, without receiving the slightest benefit, Indeedi I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended B. B. 15., (Botanic Blood Balm) and I began usingit; not, however, expecting to be benefited. Alter using half a bottle I was satisfied I was being benefited, and when the sixth bottle was used 1 felt like a new man. I would not take $lj)00 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
