" Journalism must be a healthy pro- fession," said old Mrs. Squaggs, as she Iaid,the paper on her knee and rubbed her eyeglasses with her apron. ',What makes. you think so ?" said old Mr. Squagga. "Because I see that the writers 'who nsed te have pieces in the papers when I was a girl are still writing away the same as ever; they must be very old." " Who -are they ?" asked Mr. Squaggs. "Well, there is ' Veritas' forone, and 'Anon,' and 'One Who Knows,' and 'Vox ' Populi,' and 'Justice,' and 'Fro Bono Publico,'„and 'X. Y. Z.,' and 'Taxpayer' and many others. I see some of their names every day, and I declare if the sight of 'em don't bring back the old school days." Then the old lady gazed meditatively. into the fire,.and old .Mr. Squaggs went int on to the back stoop to indulge in a quiet laugh to himself. 1 ------4.------- Reminiecences of Sir Walter Scott. - By His Old Housekeeper, A correspondent of the New York San, writing from North Franklin, in the Empire State, on September 20, gives an interesting account of an in- terview he had with Mrs. Bogie a ven- erable' lady, aged 89, and residing with her grandson, who is a prosperous far- mer in the region of Delaware county. This old lady represented herself; as the last housekeeper of Abbotsford during the latter closing days of , Sir Walter Scott's life. 1 " Abbotsford ? she said, in broad Scotch accent. It was built 58 years ago, the year after I married your grandfather. 'We were then on the estate. That long wing which extends -to the rear has 'been built since Sir Walter's death. I don't know Who oc- eupies it now, but a young woman, the last member of the Scott family, was there net long ago. She is Lookhart's granddaughter, and her name -it is a, long one -is Mary. Monica Elope Max- well Scott. Here is lihr photograph." Theyhotograph waSsthat of a rather young Scotch -woman, withan intelli- gent and amiable face. "1)o you remember Si. Walter Scott!" "P0.I remember • him? Our old friend, with his kind and generous heart ? I was on the estate ten years before his death, and I was housekeeper at Abbotsford three years afterwards. My husband, Wm. Bogie, was with him for fifteen years. He was the gardener first, and old Tom Paray, . the game- keeper' . had charge of the business at Abbotsford. Tom had been a shepherd, and as a man with very flittle educa- tion. He was an outspoken, funny fel- low, like the clown in t the circus, and Sir Walter liked him on that ac- count. He never called Sir Walter by kis title, but took liberties with him Sir Walter would not have allowed from anybody else. One time Tom had £50, and couldn't tell from -- his accounts whether it belonged to him or Sir Wal- ter. Sir Walter ga. e it to him, but afterwards put the Lusiness into my kusband's hands, and left it with hints nntil his death. Seven 9f my .eight children were born at LAbbetsford. Walter suited himself M his seleetion of' friends. George Themson, the one - legged clergyman'was one of them. fie was a strange, blunt man, talking to all he met, and a ivoi derful horseback, rider for all his cork leg. Poor man, he went to. bed Weil one night, and died be- fore morning. He used to preach in the chapel, and all the great fol who came to Abbotsford in those crowded to hear him. He pre . ed strange doc- trines, and all the pocir disliked him as much as the richItt ed him. When there were nat rich eople at Abbots: - ford, there was a serry attendance on his sermons. It was he! that wrote some of Sir Walter'sj books when the poor man was paralysed. He would re- peat after Sir Walter, and getting in a kurry would say, "iYes, yes, and what next ?" 1 " Ah, George," Sir Walter said,"b patient ; I have it all to make? "Sir Walter didn't encourage the young poets who us& to pome to Ab- botsford to get his a,dvipe. Many a time he told one of them. to give up poetry, and get an ax and go to work. fie was ever fond of oal sayings, and he talked to everybody he met. That was the way he got his st ries ! that he used in the Waverley Nov is. Some of their sayings pleased him wonderfully. He • stopped one tune to g t a 'man to paint his name upon an axe he had purchased. .A cousin,- by the nanie of Scott was in his company. Sir N . alter handed. out his cousin's card. . "Ill paint a dozen xes if you'll give me this car&" the ma said. " Will not my frieu Fs card do?" said Six Walter, " Ws th earae name." - "Oh, no, that Ilan e's no good," the painter said. " Sir Walter said tl at man paid him • the best compliment he ever received. "We often used to wonder when Sir kValter found time o write his books. He was off with his d gs at noon and he never came home until night. George Thompson often hunted with him. Sir Walter had six dog, and we always saw them at Right, before he came in abont the 'Scott family,' the old lady said with a sigh. Young Sir Walter was good. at nothing but spending money. Sir Walter made Lockhart a present of a piece of land, and built a fine house on it for him. He never gave him a deed, flunking it was all in the family, and there was no need of it. But after his death rung Sir Walter seized the house, furnished it with fur- niture from Abbotsford, and entered it Poor Lockhart left in sorrow and never returned to Abbotsford again. "Have you seen the pieture of Sir' Walter with his bonnet hanging over the head of his cane, leaning on it with both hands? That was his favorite at- titude, and I have seen him seated ie that fashion many a time when he came in from his walks. A Fifty Cent Job. While Judge Tracy was on the circuit,i going from court his trace broke. The Judge spent over a half hour trying to mend it, but to noTurpose. His patience was exhausted, and he expressed his vexation in words. A negro came along, and the Judge told him of his trouble. The negro let out the trace,.cut a hole in it, and the job was done. Why," said the Judge, "could I not have thought of that.r' Well, marster,'-' said the negro don't you know some folks is jest nat- urally smarter than t'others ?" "That's so," said the Judge: "What • shall I pay you for fixing my trace ?" "Well, marster, fifty cents will do,' said the negro. "Fifty cents !" said the judge. "You were not five minutes at ' I do not charge you fifty cents for , doing it," said the negro. "I charge you twenty-five cents for doing it and twenty-five cents for knewing how to do it." -Savannah News. • Not a Cancer. .PROVING THE SUPERIORITY OF THE IN • DIAN scrioas OF MEDICINE. : • Mrs. J. C. Williston, the wife of a contractor and builder of Cleveland, Ohio, has just returned from an extend- ed trip after a most remarkable ex- perience. Mrs. Williston is not yet 30, but her hair is almost white, and her face bears the signs of a life of suffering. She has been the Victim for years, at varying hours of night and day, of pains like the cutting of a knife, and phy- sicians- supposed her to • be suffering from cancer of the stomach. Eminent physicians failed to exactly locate the trouble or afford the lady relief. She spent months in • travelling and large amounts of money in endeavoring t� find effective treatment for her malady• ; but most of the physicians whom she • consulted said that her disease was can, cer of the stomach and that death would ultimately result. • Last October she went to Saw Fran- cisco, stopping and treating while en route at the soda springs of Idaho, but in vain. Later she tried the waters of Calestoga Springs and the baths of Passo del Robels, witheut effect. San Francisco's best physicians could afford' no relief, and shestarted for Sonora, _Mexico, intending to - visit -some cele- brated springs near Negales. She was taken seriously ill at .Tucson, Arizona. One day during her illnesaa Papago Inf dian, of local notoriety as a "medicine man," visited. Tucson from St. 'Xavier's Mission. 'He was•taken to Mrs. Willis - ton's rooms and asked if he could tell her siihneht. He looked at her'had her describe her pains and their location, and then with the exclamation, " Me • sabe heap bad spirit," he rushed out and toward the mission. In a few hours hp returned with herbs and .a basket of mescal, a root used by the Indians for foods- - -He Motioned to Mrs. Williston to twa, - low the herbs. They made her deathly siek, so much so that she almost died from' fright, thinking she had been poi- soned. The result, after a few hours, •was the emission of a dead lizard that was nearly four inches in length. It was apparently of a species common to the east,' but how it managed to live for so many years was a mystery. Mrs. Wil- liston says that but one -explanation oc- curs to her, which is that when a child, and living at Phillipsburg, New Jersey, she and her brother were accustomed to drink from a little brook that ran near the house. They would scoop the water up with their hands, and she thinks that. in this way she swallowed the ein- bryo lizard. Mrs. Williston's recovery has been rapid, and she is new fairly on the way to a complete restoration to health. Though the taking of living objects into the system is not rare; medical men say that this is one of the most reMark&blO caSes on record. Sonie Excuses .for Drinking. " is very cold totlay, I shiver from head to foot; I must 'have a little some- thing because it is so. cold, and I need it." Or, "It is ver3.T. hot to -day, Dear • me; such weather as -this swelters a man ' to death: I Inuit. have something to keep me up in sueh hot weather ; I need it." Another man- drink t a little in stumner-time because there are insects insthe water, and spirits kill them. An- other thinks he needs something in Winter -time because it is so hurtful to drink cold water. Another man is very ill;•for eighteen years:be has taken the same remedy, and he will go and try a little more of it. Another is tolerably well; but the wcather-glast is falling, and the last time the wind was in that quarter it gave him a !terrible pain; he needs something as a preventive. and he will --try it once more. This reminds me of the man who wanted -some brandy and water.

You mile at a lady and ask her to take wine. She smiles and bows. The waiter then fills her glass and fills yours. Then you take the wineglass in your hand, and mile. You must smile. Even if you have the toothache very badly, yon must smile. It may be an agonizingi smile, but you must smile. Then she smiles and bows _and sips, and you smile and bew and sip, then both smile and bow together, and it is all over. Now, suppose r should ask the lady, May I take a email piece of bread'and butter with- you ?" She bows and srniles. The waiter gives her a piece of bread and butter, and I take a piece ; and she takes he, r piece of bread and butter, and smiles and bows and bites; I do the same, and while we both, mas- ticate, we smile and bow together. It would be perfectly ridiculous, but not more so than this custom of drinking and bowing and ismiling over a glass of wine, and far less injurious. It does not, and cannot, hurt a man or woman to eat a small piece of bread and butter,: but it may do a vast deal of harm to take a glass of wine. I do not say it will, but it may. There is a risk. -J. B. Gough. Care of Animals in Winter. • The American Humane Association offers the following suggestions relative to fowls, horses; and cattle, to persons having these in charge, in the north- ern latitudes, during the winter months. Do not compel domestic fowls to moat 'in trees. :Aside from danger of being captured by owls and other enemies, the swaying of the branches upon which they are sitting *ill prevent them from get- ting rest; in the severely' cold weather, this exposed, feet and comb's - are frozen ahd the bird is so benumbed as to make it impossible for it to • be of. much benefit on the farm. Securely sheltered frbm- Wind and storm; and allowed to sit on a broad roost, feet are thus kept wartni refreshing rest is ob.. tabled and the fowl is much Stronger,• healthier, and more profitable to its owner. Do not clip horses during the winter months. 'With the same propriety We might cut the hair from a dog, or shear a sheep, at this.season of theyear. The .argument in behalf of the practice is that • the horse in perspirationwilldry more quickly if the hair is short. If the ani- thal is thorough14 blanketed .and kept. in a sheltered or warm place, after being driven, no danger results from perspir- ation, whatever the length of hair s while the horse that has been deprived of its coat, in the winter time suffers -perpetually ivhile _being exposed ..to the cold. It is a cruelty inflicted upon beautiful carriage hories. for the purpose of style. Blessed is . the ordinary work -horse, in the winter -time, for, however Much it may perspire, it. is allowed to carry its full growth of hair during the cold weather. Do not leave cattle to stand shivering, 'while their extreniities often freeze,in the. 'snowstorms. and severe winds of winter; when a lithe time would suffice to con- struct of boards, rails, or poles, a support upon and around which may be placed hay, straw, or weeds, :thus making shelter that niay comfortably protect them. Cattle kept in fairly warm ,con- dition throughont the winter, will, as milkers, give a larger and better yield Of milk, and as beeves, will take on flesh lima more rapidly than if left exposed to. inclement weather. • Aside from a question of humanity, the more attention .and. --are that is be- stowed upon animals, witha view • to their comfort, the more will they. be a service 8,nd a source of profit to their owners daring robbery was committed b getween Oil-Sprin s and Oil City,Lamb- , ton county, last 1.?riday night beeween 8 and 9 o'clook. !Mr. D.

Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatnient for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six month, fully ninety per cat, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures nOver record a cure at • all. Starting with the claim now generally' believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Ur. Dixon at once adapted his mire to their extermination— ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prae- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago are eures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy is simple, and can be done at home, and the present season ef the year is the most favorable for a Speedy and permanent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A, H.
