Quackery is always discov- ering remedies which will act upon the germs of disease directly and kill them, But ' no discovery has ever yet becn approved by doctors which will cure consump- tion that way. Germs can only be killed by making the body strong enough to over- come them, and the early use of such a2 remedy as Scott’s Emulsion is one of the helps. In the daily war- fare man keeps up, he wins best, who is provided with the needed strength, such as Scott’s Emulsioa supplies.

to wit, a lot of more or less seedy and shabby genteel old fellows who went shout the country delivering lectures on

| temperance and getting out of it only | | about so much a8 would clothe and feed | | them. Some of them were nodoubt good

and conscientious men, but among them

| Were many who, notwithstanding their

professions, dearly loved to take a glase of something warming to the inner man. ‘Most of thesé tipplers were very par-

| ticular noz to have the ramor get abroad

that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and when they took their drinks they ob- served great secrecy. I remember there was one whom we thought to be a most abstemious old fellow, and no one thought he ever tasted a drop, particu- larly a maiden aunt of mine who lived with my mother and was as rigid a temperance woman as ever came out of New England) My mother was much more liberal and wanted always to en-

| tertain these workers in the good canse,

but my aunt had become so suspicious ot all of them except this particular one that he was the only one who could find a night’s lodging at our place.

“One night this old chap came to stay all night, and he had such a severe cold that my mother prescribed a rubbing of goose grease on his feet and toasting it in by the fire before he went to bed. Now, as it happened, in the room where be slept there was a new carpet which my annt had presented to my mother as a birthday gift, and there was an old fashioned sideboard in the same room, with a two gallon jug of good whisky on it, which somebody had forgotten to pet inside and lock up. At § o'clock the black boy carried in the goose grease to our guest and left him sitting before the fe.

‘Just what happened after that no- body knows, but after the gnest had de- parted next morning and the servants went to straighten up the room they found tracks innumerable between the fireplace and the sideboard, and in some way it was discovered that the old fel-

| low, «fraid of taking cold, had greased

his socks and toasted the grease into his feet through them, and while the toast- ing was going on he made regular and frequent trips to the jug. Of course, if the tracks on the carpet had not betrayed bim, no one would have ever noticed by the jug that he had been drinking out of it. He never came back again, and I don’t know whether my aunt was more pained over the ruined carpet or over the ruined idol, for she had the greatest confidence in the old man.’’—Washing- fon Star.

DETECTED THE REPEATERS.

Innocent Fishhooks Which Caused Whoie- sale Arrest of Voters.

Daring the reconstruction times in Alabama, just after the late civil war, all of the state and county offices were aiministered by the Republicans. This was from 1566 to 1874, when the Dem- ocrats again secured control of the gov- ernment and have held it ever since.

The election of George S. Houston, a Democrat, as governor in 1874 was one of the hottest ever held in the state, and many were the tricks practiced on both sides in that election. Possibly the most novel was a device put into operation at Mobile. Repeaters were common in those days, and this device was used by the Democrats to catch the negroes, who

| had learned the repeating trick. All of

the negroes voted the Republican ticket then.

On the election day mentioned the polling places were opened, and the vot- ing commenced. The Democratic elec- tion officers at the boxes had secured a stock of small fishhooks with which to carry out their new plan. Whenever a begro voted, an officer stuck a hook in the voter's vest front, where it could be

He was thereupon arrested and put in jail upon a charge of fraud. The scheme worked like a charm. By noon 175 negroes had been arrested and jailed. The whole- sale arrests so frightened the negroes who had not yoted that they refrained from going to the polls that day, and the Democrats won the election.—Chi- cago Times-Herald.

The Whipping Post In Boston.

Alice Morse Earle, in an article on **Ponishments of Bygone Days,’’ found in The Chapbook, after giving Johu Tay- lor the Water Poet's rbymed descrip- tions of corporal punishment in London, explains how rapidly flogging came into nse in Boston:

The whipping post was speedily in full force in Boston. At the session of the court held Nov. 80, 1630, one man was scitenced to be whipped for steal- ing a loaf of bread, another for shooting fow] on the Sabbath, another for swear- ing, another for leaving a boat ‘‘with- out a pylott.’’ Then we read of John Pease that for ‘‘stryking his mother and deryding her he shalbe whipt.’’

Lying, swearing, eaking false toll, perjury, selling rom tothe Indians—all were punished by whipping. Pious re- gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld by the support of the whipping post. In 1643, Roger Scott, for ‘‘repeated sleep- ing on the Lord’s day,’’ and for atrik- ing the person who waked him from his godiess slumber, was sentenced to be se- verely whipped. Women were not spared in public chastisement. ‘Ths ” ot ee toe was at once subdued

HE WAS A POO BAH. HOW Weule” rox bes A WHOLE COUNTY IN DAKOTA.

He Held Al the Offices For One Winter and Hather Enjoyed the Experience. Thorgh It ls Presumed That He Wa Sometimes s Little Lonesome.

There is a man in this town who was the suprame ruler of the whole county for almost six months. He was a Pooh Bah with a vengeance. His uame is E. J. Fox, and he is fond of telling how he ran Cavalier county in the first win- ter of its existence. It came about is this way:

Cavalier county had been rane’. Int anorganized, for several yrs Uv» 1884. It consisted of a large strip of

land, all owned by the government, ty ing west of the western boundary line of Pembina county. About that time P. McHugh of Bathgate was electe d as a representative of Pembina county in the legislature, and it occurred to him

that it would be well te

the three raves in the western part of Pembina county. This western part cf Pembina county was very much higher than the rest of the county, and was situated, the people said, aud say yet, ‘‘on the mountain.’ So McHugh got a bill through the legislature defining Cavalier county as it is today.

That was in the winter of 1884-5. A courthouse was built at Langdon, which was designated as the county seat, and at the election in November various county officers were elected. But none of the county officers came to Langdon to live. It was already a bad winter, and they could see no reason why they should come if there was some one there to take charge of the records. So they urited in asking E. J. Fox, a young man just from Canada, to take charge of the offices until sum-

A PSALM OF LIFE.

Through the wild babel of our fev« r’d time The song of Homer cometh, grave and stera, With tidings from the world’s fresh, healthy prime— Tidings which our Worn, wearied age con- cern

Unchang’d, through all the long, unnumber’d years, The voice of Homer siags the song civine,. Which tells of gollike toils, of heroes’ tears And of the punishment of Priam’s line.

The battle in the plain is raging yet; The watch fires blaze; the beak'd ships line the shore. For us the foe in grim array is set. Ab, but do we fight as they fought of yore?

For we, too, like the heroes long ago, Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea. Fierce is the conflict, loud the tempests blow, And the waves rear and rage unceasing!y.

Stil: must we wander o'er the stormy main, "Twixt rocks and whirlpools a dread passage make, till must the sirens sing to us in vain, Still from the toils of Circe must we break. Turn, then, to Homer's psalm of life and see How they endured whose pilgrimage is doue And hear the message they have left for thee— Only by patience is the victory won. —Macmillan's Magazine.

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.

How the Burned Out Filament May de Replaced and Renewed.

It has been generally supposed to be a fruitless task to attempt the renewal of a burnt out incandescent electric lamp, although there appears to be some eco- nomic fallacy involved in the destruc-

\ tion of what is except in «ve small if

mer. Fox accepted the position, or posi- |

tions. aud in December took charge of the affairs of the county. The court- house was then a large building—in fact, too larze for use. Fox decided that it would be better to leave it va- cant until spring, and he took up his abode in « one room “‘claim shack,’’ the only other building in town. This was about 15 by 20 feet in dimensions, and

winter. He was deputy clerk of the courts, county judge, county treasurer, county auditor and register of deeds. The sheriff lived in the country and the superintendent of schools lived just across the Manitoba line. The sheriff did not serve out his term, for he was

important ‘particular a perfect p-ece of apparatus. It is hot intended as a rule, to give in this colamn des riptious of American devices or achieveme?.ts drawn from foreign publications. ‘This subject has, however, been taken up by the English jcarnal, Indnstries and Iron, and, although it states that an American process for renewing these lamps after the filament has been bro- ken has been developed, it Goes not give the name of inventors nor state that the process has come into anything like gen- eral application. Its description of the operation is therefore given for what it is worth.

It states that a commercial success has been made of a process for renewing burned out lamps which renders possible the use of the old bulb at a very slizht

expense, By the new method the col-ar, | ' or bare end, of the lamp i3 not disturb-

there he lived and did business that’ 24 ‘the old filament being removed and

the new one placed throngh a small hole in the lamp bulb made by removing the

| tip. The small hole is subsequently clos-

put in jail for shooting aman in a fight. | There was not another living soul with- |

ir: two miles.

Fox lived entirely alone, and did his own cooking, except the bread baking, which was done by a neighbor three miles away. Langdon, though the coun- ty seat, was not yet a postoffice. The postmaster of Olga, in the eastern part of the county, used to send over a large package of letters and papers about twice a week to the people whom he knew lived near Langdon, and Fox would give to these people their mail when they called for it. There was not one settler 40 miles to the west, but about 40 and 50 miles northwest, near the Manitoba line, there were several settlers, and some of these used to drive that great distance to “‘file’’ on a home- stead or a tree claim. When they did that, Fox had to give them their meals and lodgings, and, in fact, he had often to keep a sort of hotel.

The winter of 1884-5 was very cold, and at night Fox used oftem to lie awake and listen to the blizzards howl around his little shack. He was kept busy, however, for there were many filings, registerings of mortgages and a few deeds. An average of two or three men would come to see him daily on business, but hb: seldom saw a woman. Nearly all the settlers rear him at that time were bachelors, who afterward went back to Canada to get married; and indeed Fox did the same. Every- body was poor, and yet they all seemed to enjoy themselves, though they had to haul their wheat from 50 to 75 miles fo market.

The winter passed very swiftly, and in the summer Mooney and McHugh caine with their families. Then other settlers began to pour in. Buildings went up, as if by magic, and in a few months there were a postoffice and a dozen dwellings. Talk of a railroad be- gan to be heard, and in a few months it came. Then indeed Pooh-Bah Fox had to surrender his glory. He chose to take up the humble position of superin- terftient of the schools of the county and he still retains the place. He is dis- posed to think that, in spite of the com- forts and conveniences of the present mode of life here, he enjoyed himself more that winter when he was monarch of all the govermuent offices of Cavalier county.—Langdon (N. D. ) Cor. Chicago Record.

ed exactly in the same manner as in the case of the new lamp, leaving nothing to indicate in the finished, repaired lamp that it had ever been opened.

It is stated that some 400,000 lamps have been repaired by this method, tue inserted through the small hole referred to by a skillful twist of the hand and secured in position by a special carbon paste. The biack deporit on the inside of the bulb is removed by fitting the lamp to the holder and re- moving it in a gas furnace, while im- mediately following this operation a small glass tube is fused to the opening made in the bulb, through which tue lamp is exhausted. When this hes been done and the last trace of air and gas absorbed, a blowpipe flame is cirected upon the throat of the tube, which is melted into the point exactly in every respect a counterpart of the origizal lamp.—Providence Journal.

The Well Dressed Man.

There is a certain professor in a cer- tain university of the United States who once, at the beginning of one of his lec- tures on fing arts, got ou the subject of the kind of pins worn in the neckties of young college men. fie was a good lec- turer and was alwars interesting, but this lecture was the most interesting of his course to the 509 boys who heard him, and the whole Lour was spent on necktie pins, their use and misuse and what they suggested. The gist cf what he said was that there was no more reasou why a boy should wear a horse- shoe with a whip across it all in gold than that houses should have sieves for roofs, and that as it was extremely foolish to put a big sieve on your house for a roof so it was quite as foolish to wear horseshoes on your neckties. The principle of this is that you should have a reason in what you wear as well as in other things and that senseless decora- tions, like horseshoes on neckties or neckties on horseshoes, are silly aud un- becoming to a self respecting person. This particular example was only cue to illustrate a principle, which is that nothing unusual, quecr, out of the or- dinary, is in itself a good thing—that, in fact, most things that are queer and out of the ordinary are likely, in tie question of dress, to be in bad taste. A man’s dress ought to be quiet, but it must be clean and well taken care of in every instance. The best dressed map is the man who, in whatever company he finds himself, is inconspicuous; wi, you realize in an indeiinite wey, is well appointed, though you cannot well tell why.—Harper’s Road Table.

The Ventilation of Bouses.

The French and the Italians seem to manage with lese fresh air in their living or sleeping rooms than most other people. | In The Chautauquan “The Family Doc- | tor’ gives some excellent advice of venti- lation.

Let the Amalekites worship the goddess | of health om mountain tops and .save ex- | pensese and your life by establishing a | homemade refrigeration camp. Cover your | catarrh patients as warm as they like—siz | quilts if three are pot enough—but turn their faces to the open window and rely | upon it that they can breathe air of any | temperatare on the mild side of zero not | only with absolute iimpanity, but with ben- eficial resulta unattainable by drug meth- | ods.

From sunset to 6 a m. also ventilate

;

your parlors and dining rooma At dawn close the windows, stir the fires till the thermometer in the center of the room has risen to 70 degrees; then sprinkle a hot shovel with a pinch of incense or fumigat- ing powder (another inexpensive lung | balm) and ring the breakfast bell. _ i Your neighbors may stare, or try to stare, at your proceedings. Bot while their eyes are almost blind with catarrh your | family will enjoy the light of a sanitary | Goshen and recover completely about @ week before the end of the eurrounuing lung epidemic.

Women With Dyed Hair.

Why will some women dye their hair? They know everybody knows they co it, yet they deceive themselves by thinking they are deceiving everybody—this in spite of the obvious misfit hetween middle aged faces and hair of infantile hue There is a wise Providence that has or- dained that, as women pass their first youth ana the brilliancy of their complex- ion begins to dim and their fuces begin to bear the distinctive marks of the passing yeara, their hair shall tell tts own tale of the flight of time, so forming a softening background that endeavors to counteract the telltale marks that life leaves upon the face.

Put a brand new modern paper on the walls of an old fashivned room and you will become suddenly conscious of the in- numerable evidences of wear and tear upon every article in the room. Articles that before the invasion of this up to dute background seemed charming and desira- ble now appear dingy and suggest rovewal. lt is the same with a woman's face. ‘The minute a woman begins “touching up’’ ber hair all the little imperfections, all marks of wear and tear, are brough: into high relief by the brand new background. —New York Herald.

“Between Meals” For Children.

Children are not likely to crave candy and other sweets unless a taste for sneb articles has been developed by indulgence in them, and their use, since they are sel dom taken at mealtime, belps greatly to foster that most pernicious habit of child- hvod, eating between mealx No food, except at their regular mealtimes, should be the universes] rule for children from babyhood up, and altheugh during their earlicst years they require food at sore- what shorter intervals than adults, their mea! houts should be arranged for the same tine each day, and no piecing per- mitted. Parents who follow the too com- mor practice of giving their little ones a cracker or fruit between meals are simply placing them under training for dyspepsia, sooner or later. Uninterrupted digestion proceeds smoothly and harmoniously in ¢ healthy stomach, but interruptions in th shape of food sent down at al] times and when the stomach is already at work are justiy resented, and such disturbances, if long continued, are punished by suffering. —Mre. E. E. Kellogg.

The Women of India.

Iadian women are peculiarly simple and childish in character, yet very different from Europeans of the same class, North- ern and southern India, says Mrs. Besant, are two distinct countries in all the laws and customs which affect women. In the porth the “‘ Purdah’’ isin full power, and the women look upen any pablicity as an outrage, while in the south tyeir position is quite different; yet men and women de not meet freely in society. Mothers and grandmothers have great influence and au- thority in the family and home life, and in outside affaizs as well, for an Indian will not act in a public matter agzinst’ the advice of either one. In southern India very young children are married, and if the in- fant husband dies his youtbtul widow can Dever warry again.

Keep Children Busy.

Children should be furnished with em- ployment, which is sometimes difficult to provide. What we calla natural love of mischief is nothing more than activity. Children are restiess for employment They must have something to do, and if they are not so furnished they will do mis- chief. Do not blame them; it is their na- ture and should be encouraged rather than checked. In furnishing little employments you can form the habits and cultivate the tastes. What is begun should be finished. Care should be taken with whatever is done, and neatuess should be encouraged. —Good Housekeeping.

A Dress Scheme.

A woman noted for being always wel! gowned gets a tailor made gown every sea- gon, and uses it the second year for second best. Thus she has a well made black silk or satin skirt, with several silk waists, a light colored silk, with two bodices, for special occasions, and every summer she invests in four atylish shirt waists. With this wardrobe she is ready for anything.
