" 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

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. "I must have it this morn-
in„ps,” he said, " becauie lain so thirsty,

been a long time. with Sir Walter,
that he rose early in„ the morning -and
worked hard at his books long before,

, •
"Tom Nloare frequently visited lifte,
and wat a favorite at the house. I shall
never.. forget seeing Sir Walter and
Moore come in once in -a storm. Sir
Walter bad his bonnet in his hand, his
head thrown back, and was enjoying the
etorm. Moore, a little man, was hump- know, unless it is that 1 am (reins to
ei over and crawling alOng -at Sir have tome salt fish for
know enough to he aware of what it
is. It is a silly custom. 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

- Catarrh -a -New. Treatment.
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.
