Moatoaltn street from Woodward avenue the other day, here is the game, you walk down the street and ring the bell, when the lady answers you tell her that you haven't had anything to eat for three days, if she says she don't care tell her you are desperate and ready to commit any .crime. If she starts to slam the door on you hold it open with your foot and look savage. I'll arrive just about then, and 1'11 take you by the noels, slam you around and pitch you out of the yard. I'tn the lady's pruteotor and the hero of the hour, you see. I'll be very modest and claw off, but I'll tell her I'm a stranger and in need of a quar- ter to buy food.' She'll hand it over, and I'll joie you around the cotner and divide. See ?' 'Alegnifioent 1' replied No. 2. 'You ought to be in the United States Sen. ate, Well, hers I go.' Re passed down the street, and so• laded a house,and the programme was carefully follewed out until he reached -the point where he sail he was despe• are. At that instant the hall door was pulled wide open, and a six-foot hus- band shot out his right hand and knock - No. 2 clear off the lower step. No. 1 was just' rushing ie, and the six-footer thought he might as well kill two birds with one stone, so he gave him one under the jaw, and when tired of walk- ing around on their prostrate bodies he flung them over the fence. The tramps limped down to the corner, looked at each outer in deep disgust and then aeparated for ever. 10-•1114-4 SNAKES AS LIFE DESTROYERS. The loss of life iu India due to the ravages of venomous snakes is almost incredible. Yet the disease which is as wily and deadly as the deadliest India reptile, is winding its coil around. thousands of people while the victims are uneonsoions of its presence. It hes long been a hobby with incompet- ent physicians to assns that consump- tion is incurable after the formation of tubercles has begun ; and in every case they fail to effect a cure—of course tubercles had Levin to form and they were incurable. The res n•ds of medical science disprove any snob theory. Ou the coutrayy, in oases of lung disease which had been cured and the patients Iived fotry and fifty years in robust health,post•mortemexaminations show- ed large cicatrices (scars) wheat the tuberolea had been formed and remov- ed. The tuberoles are removed by ab- sorption into the blood. An efficient atteruative, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi- ca; Discovery, must be used to cleanse the blood of the seorfulons impurities. For tubecular cousumption is only a form of scrofulous disease. -Golden Aledical Discovery is a sovereign rein-• edy for all kinds of scrofulous dieease, or king's -evil, such as tumors, white swellings, fever sores, scrofulous sore eyes, as well as for other blood and skin disease's. HOW THE FOOIJER WAS FOOL- ED. One party in the West end did not make much of fooling his wife. 'When he went home late, waiting until after twelve o'clock so as to play the jnlce,he rang the dour belt,antl answered 'April fool,' when she appeat'ed at the door. Ills wife laughed over the joke, and it was soon forgotteu. About two o'clock in the morning our friend was awaken ed by his wife, who informed him that there was something wrong with the horse at the barn. She held the lamp while he want out to see. As Hoon as lie had gone a sltest distance, he'smel- led a niece,' and returned to find the' door locked. He knocked, potindedl, kicked, but it did no good. He went around to the bedroom window and could hear his wife hreathiug regular- ly OAS though quietly sleeping., could riot ga down town for he ayaie en d'ishe. belts, Finalig tapping;oil the wipdate Ise .gently gelded:. April fool me again ?' 'Yes,' 'Will you get !me that new bonnet ?' 'Yes.' There was a turning Roy bolts, and the man who had gone `„home happy with the thought of fooling his wife,. passed in and retired, 13n1 we will wager that the party who told ue will die if he is found out. A SERMON. A Northumberland miner, when preaching to his fellow pitmen.. once delivered the following with all the na- tive idiosyncrasies and gutteral of that dialect ---'Dia freel.3ds awe ganneen to preach tu yu aboot Deavid and his pas sel tree ; he grode that tree hissel and nobody was letten tu hinglbis harp on't bit his own sell, he was varra feud aboot it, and iveery tnoorneen he went oat and olamb up the passel tree and praised good on the passel tree, I was spsekin aboot gross darkness, where ye'llo gan to if ye divu't mind.

EVADING A PARE. The stealing of a pin is apparently a Flight offense. Yet it may reveal char- acter as clearly as the theft of $100. Some years ago their lived ha New York a shrewd old merohant named Aymar. He Used to receive cargoes of mahogany and logwood, which were sold at auction. Ou one occasion a cargo was to be sold at Jersey City, and all hands started from the auctioneer's store to eross the ferry. When they were going through the gate, 1Ir. Aytner, noticed one of the largest buyers slip through the gate without paying the 5 cents fare. lie told the auotioueer not to take a bid, from that man. • "Why," said the auctioneer, with an expression of surprise, '1 thought he was good." "So did I," answered Mr. Ayular : "but 1 have ehanged my mind, and I will not trust him ,$1." A few mouths proved the accuracy of the judgement of 1llr. Aymar, for the slippery merchant failed,. and did not pay 5 outs on the dollar. It does not by any means follow that business dis- aster will come as a retribution to a dishonest trader ; but that is certain, that a man who will steal even so tri• !ling a Hum as would pay his fareen the horse -car or the ferry boat will cheat you ouiof alar;er awn if he fiuds a safe opportunity. USELESS WOVEN. Thousands of useless women cumber the earth to day because they were reared upon a bad plan. The little girl Domes into the world and, unless she is peenliarly fortunate in being the child of wise and good parents, is taught to value physical beauty far above the better qualities of mind and heart. its years go by all her ener- gies ere devoted to enhtuein:g her phy- sieal charms ; all that money and ar- tietic clothes can Ito are made to- fur- ther the one interest of her life. She may have gone to school where• her ambition was spurred up in keeping pace with her elo-asamates; the may have shown that she possessed a brilliant mind and even o.ut•stripped her fellow pupils. Rut having never cultivated a taste of general literature and lacking the incentive "ahe had in school" her study ceases with her last term, and ,education is finished when she makes her bow ou . oommenoemeit day.

UNE TO, 718P0 CURAGE IN DISEASE. illany a life has been saved by the moral courage of the sufferer, 'It is not alone iu bearing the pain of opera- tions or the misery of 'confinements In 1 a sick room his self help becomes of vital tnoment, but in the monotonous trucking of a weary path, any the vig- orously discharge of ordinary duty. How many a victim of incurable eases has lived on through years of suffering, patiently and resolutely hop- ing against hope, or, what is better, living down despair, until the viroul- ence of a threatening malsdy has died out, and it has ceased to be destruc- tive, although its physical Jharaoterls• tics remained. This power of 'good spirits' is a matter of high unemout to tale sick and weakly. To the former it tnay mean the ability to survive, to the latter tha possibility of out living, or living in spite of disease. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance to cultivate the highest and must buoy- ant frame of mind which the conditions will admit. The Fame energy which takes the form of meutul activity is vital to the work of the organism. 1lfeutal influences affect the system, and joyous spi-it not only relieves the pain, but increases the momentum of tire in the betty. The victims of disease tin not commonly sufficiently appreciate the value and use of 'gond spirits.' They ton often settle down in despair when a professional judgement determines the exidterce of some latent or chronic malady. The fact that ib is probable they will die of a pal-tiesnlar disease casts Ho deep a gto,•'n overth it I,roepect that thron.;ll fe'tr of death they are all their life time suojeet to bond agF'. The mnititnde of healthy persons; who wear out their strength by exhausting journeys and perpetual anxieties for health is voiv great, and the policy in which they indulge is ex ceedingly short-sighted. Most of the sorrowful and worried cripples wl,o drag nut miserable lives in this; was would be less wretched and live lo ger if they were tuore hopeful. It is use• less to exreot that any one can be reit coned into a tighter frame of mind, but it is desirable that a'l should be tbsneiit to understand the sustaining, and oft- en even curative, power of 'good spirits.' j Ix is with the utmost confidence iu the result that the nlsnnfact nrersnfrlle "Myrtle Navy" tobacco ask all who have not tried it to do so.
