' New York World, March 6, 1SS7 I DING dorn town the oilier morn in on the Thinl avenue road I caught a later train than usual and found the oar full ol l-orlH k bro kers on t!nir st to Wa'l street to b."- pin their day's business. Four nattv- iook.1113 men oceupu-d the cross Fonts op losite each other in the middle of the car. They were evidently well amvainted aru oid-time s'ial a-i well as bubine ii lends. ll;e talk was stocks, of course how Lai kawanna went down and O. T. up and down, and the discussion a getin;r wann when the oldest mpmber of the partv nulled out a handkerchief from his hip pocket and in the action dropped omrthinj on the floor. All four stopx?d talkitji? until the lost ohiect was tinallv fished out from under a Peat. The finder eiavely examined it. held it up for the inspection of the others and asked " V hat t!ie deuce is it?" A potato," replied the owner, look ing a lhtle theepish and reaching out ior it. ' Wlt.it a-e von carrvinff it around in your pocket for? lo yttn expect a fam ine 7 Have to u E' cot a Meak alto in your coat pocket ?" "No, hut I want my potato. It is for rheumatism." " ' For iheumatism?" "Yet; dou't ycu know that if yon carry a potato in your jwx-ket it will cure rheumatism? It hasn't cured me yet," he added thoughtfully, caressing his knee with gentle touch, " hut 1 live in hope. o give me my potato." He pot his masi ot and the other three gentlemen laughed at lhe superstition of their friend, wno went on to to 1 how he had suffered for two years with twinge" of rheumatism and how nothin-r seemed to do him any good. The one who had found the potato said that it served him right to sutler so. Any man ivho did not know enough to take the proper medicine or.pht to have the rheumatism, and have it bad, too. The potato carrier protested that he had tried all kinds of remedies and employed the best ! ysi cians in New ork city, but without e:l'ect. "But you haven't tried the right thmsr, continued h;s friend. Mv ite was troubled the same wav for years, and in four .months was completely cured. 1 will bet vcu a dinner for I lie four ot us at Delnionieo's that 1 can tell yon a secret that will make you well before tin; sum mer hotels open air.;: a. Of course, you won't believe I shall succeed, so I am sure to win the let." Hie averauv broker takes to a wajror as naturally as a duckling to e water, and of course the bargain was atrieed to. The young man fished about in his wallet and at last from some secret hiding-place drew out a car! inscribed: " 1'ardee iledicine Companv, Kochester, X. Y." "You write to the comnanv," he said, passing over the card, "and get half a doen butties ol . Dr. Pardee's Kheumatic Kerned v, and if toh are nut satisfied I shall be glad to tnrnisti tiie dinner. iut there is not the slightest probabi.itv of mv beinsr the vie tim. I am sure to win and vou are sure to get cured. For four vears mv wife was almoM a constant sufferer. Kxcept in the brightest weather she was always complaininsr. We tried evervthinji, but somehow the disease setmed to hang on. Then an old doctor, retired from practice. who spends his time reading, told me that he had heard ot a discovery of a new wav of treatins rheumatism." An old English army physician, 1 r. Pardee, had discovered a new remedv tluit treated rheumatism in a peift-ctlv new wav- a disease of the blood. The thins struck me as at least possir:e, ana with pome little trouble I got Ir. Pardee's address and sent for seme of the medicine. The result yon see in this waer. Why, after the vtrv first tx-tile my wite was a difli-r- ent toman. That was only last ear and ever since I have jrone about vrais- ing Dr. Pardee's fcheumatic liemedy just as it 1 weie a paid a:ent. Woutl whether I couldn't collect from the Pardee company for the good I do? But here is mv station," as ti e conductot called out Hanover square, and the foui friends filed out together. Of course I don't know vet who won the wapert but I mean to rind out as soon as poseib'e, and wili tell vou all adout ii and the dinner. But this illustrates as well as anything I Lave seen in a lon time the fondness tor ie'.t:nr which pos esses the average Wall ftreet man. It no other place in all this green eartl would two men dare to make sucl a serious thing as rheumatism the subjec t ot a wager. I fell in with an old friend, a doctor Fh.rt!y after this and was tellinsr him about it, when he said : ' Do you kno that discovery von heard mentioned is singular thing. Of course, as a rejmlai practitioner 1 orTght not to say anything about it, but I have locked into the mat ter some and am convinced that Dr Pardee has struck upon something that medical men have pcen searching ailei for years. Ever since the davs hei (Socrates tanght in Athens and Antoiiv made love to Cleopatra, man has leei cursed with this disease. lo n throntl the ages, century after century ha slipped awav and stiil this econrjte ha maidtHiied its hold on the chddien of men. Liniments, lotions, blisters and all kinds of local applications hive had their dav and t assed awav. It has re mained lor the geiiius of ti e ninchentl century to discover the true cause of the disease. As the blood is the lite, so any intermption to the healthful course of the blood finds expression in this form of pain. Now, lr. 1'ardee has .located the cause of the trouble and seems to bave marked nt a remedy. It is what men hoped for when the Pyramids were building and it is what men are hoping for now. Ii" he has, at last, solved the problem the discovery will take its place in history by the side of the discovery cf chloroform and the grand inventions of the age." It seems odd to the laymen to connect srch apparently different diseases as neuralgia and rheumatism, yet they both come from the blood, says this physi cian, and sue cured bv eotrewhat similai remedies. The medicines of the Panic? Company, in their action upon tin system, are said to give to the patient a feeling of freshness and vi-or, to send the ri-h blood pulsinjr tlironjrli the vein in a fashion that makes women feel like heroines and men like conqnerois. Somehow, and in some way that I don't profess to understand, it takes hold of the kidneys and liver, stirs these or gans up like a farmer rousing a lazj tramp, and makes such things as sick headaches and thoe gloomy, depressed feelings that some people are often jfis sessed of, impossible. 1 don't know why the medicine does all this, hut I have half a dozen M'ildly enthusiastic fiiendr who say it has helped them in tKst way, and that suffices for me.

By what strange .tnd mysterious psy chological mec'i i:iisin do.-s the swift learn that the period for migration has actually arrived? Simply, I believe, by natural see-saw-, dependent only on the alternation of the seasons. For when the swift is not in Great Britain he is oil" at his other alternative residence in the Cape Colony. As some people keep up a house in England ami a winter villa at Cannes or Mentone, so the swift has ahvivys a summer nest in Europe and a wititer nest In tempera South Africa. Of rather, they are each in their own time summer nests alike for, of course, whenever it is winter here" it is .sunny midsummer in the southern heinis-phere. Unwise admirers of the swift have venture.! boldly t assert th-it ho knows wheneold weath'-r is comrKg. and therefore goes away from E i rl ud bi autum-i before it ar rives. When men speak so U you le lieve them not. This is nonsense (with all due deference to its prop Hinders), the swift know not wh.ui it will b; cold, but w'.t n it has been cold a much easier mitter like all the rest of us. The reason why he leaves so m-ieh earlier than our other summer migrants is simply because food fails him. lhere is nothing mi raculous in knowing when yon are hun gry; the merest infant well knows that much. The cold uoper air begins to feel tho chilling effect of autumn long before the basking hv.vlan I meadows and when the supply of flies falls short in the high circles where swifts habit ually move, the swifts are prompted by an inner monitor (other than con science) to tlit southward. s tney make track for Africa in a formed body, devouring the remaining insects as they M , and, in the words of th poet, oiherwise applied, "swallow, swallow, llyinT south." At the same time I do not tUnv that the swift is bird of delicate constitution, and that a marked aversion to cold for its own sake is one of his most, obvious personal characteristics. A nn'inVr of an es sentially tropical family, he visits the northern anil southern temperate re gions only during the very height of their summer season, and nrobahlv loiters Ion -x on the wav, breaking the journey in Morocco an I the Soudan. like those wise invalids who leave Egypt or Algeria in February, and onl reach the Adm'ralty pier at Dove when the English spring has fairl reached the dangerous summit of M i hill. Then m autumn he is otf again alxmt the middle of August, and if by anv chance a lew stragglers linger on too late in September they are not un freipiently overtaken and numbed by the first fro-t. in which cae thev fall helplessly fluttering on the unfamiliar ground and are left to the cruel mercies of the village childrcn.- tender -Corn- hi!l Majaztne. w m RICH MEN'S SONS.

Not only slio.ill the children of wealthy parents revive the most liberal education that ths country aiTrds, but they s'l :il l be exneited to m ike a g'o.l use of it in after life.

But honest and industrious people, those who with hand or brain labor for sciety, create its wealth, and cfTed its proper disttibution all, in fact, who really work have a right to complain that so much of the wealth of their creation has fallen into the hands of idle persons who despise every form of lalxr, even the ennobling pursuit of science, art and authorship. They do not ask them to take up the black smith's sledge, the carpenter's hammer or the mason's trowel.

OberTtlon t'non tho Annual Decrease In the Nunjber or Marriages. A social reformer, who is as precise i his statements of facts as he is expert in tho manipulation of figures, reports as the result of the investigation that the number of marriages is decreasing every year. We have just cause fur alarm if the report is true. Certainly tho choice of a wife is a subject full f pifpiant attraction to a romantic young man who has sown his wild oats and is saving his earnings and longs for the comfort and slippered ease of a home of his own. The dilliculties of court ship, however, are perplexing, arduous and real. In Knickerbocker times the knot was securely tied after a bluff proposal and the young married couple were ready to start housekeeping with a barrel of potatoes, a blunderbuss and a family Bible. Then life was idyllic tnd full of romance and song. But tempora mulantur and they change for the worse, in most respects. No longer do the married pair flutter through life on wings of romance. The chief bond of interyst that unite young lovers in this mercenary age is a Government four percent. The domestic tie is so elas tic, divorces so easily procurable, the feminine heart is so tickle withal, that eligible young men feel morbidly shy about exposing themselves to the mat rimonial noose and would as soon think of slipping a halter around the neck. The rule of woman in masculine at tire antl common sense shoes is not a pleasant siectaele to contemplate. But if the girls of the Beouhlic are not mar ried off in some wav, old maids of the most virulent taw, in various stages of physical decline, will be clamoring for their r'ghts with exceeding vigor and tHTsistencv, aud who knows whether there will be enough trreen tea and scandal left to go around? " Already the census table shows a deplorable in crease in their number. They are or ranizinff crusades against the most cherished institutions of mankind. If for no other reasons than the above. human ingenuity should devise some method of facilitating proposals and tightening the love knot so there can le no escape. Cynics acoff at the mar ital relations. Idle flirtations are do Uroying the confidence of young peo ple of romantic temperament in one another. Sir George Campbell has en deavored to prove that there is no such thing as love; that it is a psychological delusion. So long as these ideas pre vail, no easy-going youth will feel like saciiucing the frolic and fun of Bo hemia for the martyrdom of the do mestic circle. But legislation can rec tify the evil. The law-makers should take the matter in hand. They can make courtship a civic duty which the I individual owes to soi-iety, and enforce it by law. Were men who persist in remaining single disfranchised ufid di vested of their property, ami were women who refused to marry shut up m convents and denied access to the fashi n magazine, the aggressive type of maiden lady who delights in agitat ing sH-ial and political reforms, would gradually disappear and an ominous evil would be averted, an evil that all sensible people would seriously deplore. llarofd Van Sintroord. in Life. HINTS ON IRONING. Reliable Iorrm-tlon Relating to This Diffi cult i'art of Laundry Work. Every housekeeper should acquaint herself with the general rules necessary for ironing. It is difficult to g"'ve di rections how to iron well, as experience is the best teacher, but there are several things to be observed in doing the work to which strict attention must be. given. A strong table of suitable size, and a light ironing board, also a bosom board should be provided. Irons of three sites are convenient, and should always be kept clean, aud smooth; ashes, salt or brick dust are god to clean irons, and wax rubbed occasionally on them will serve to keep them in good order. The sheets and table linens should be ironed first, then the shirts. First iron the shirt all over, wringing a clean cloth out of warm water, and rub over tho bosom, which should be rapidly gone over with a clean hot iron, then the plaits should be raised, and ironed again, then dampened with water or polish, and ironed with a polishing iron. Fine thin dresses, or other soft articles that do not need polishing, should be ironed on a soft blanket. Embroideries should be ironed on the wrong side. Alwa-s have near a bowl of clean water, so any spot imperfectly ironed may be dampened and ironed over un til smooth. Ladies' Home Journal. A Story From Chicago. The woman who remarked that with one seiwant your household work is done, with two it is half done, and with three you have to do it yonrself, doubt less thought she had said a neat thing. But, according to a gentleman of Chi cago, electricity is the only satisfactory domestic servant. He has fitted up his house with electrical apparatus that does every thing. It wakens him in the morning. After that all he has to do is to press knobs. With one pressure the tire is lighted, and on goes the kettle; with another his hot water is sent up nairs. Electric scrubbing brushes keep every thing nice and clean, and an electric page-boy opens the door for alien and the morning's milk.

TThat Druggist Has to flay About Mis takes Made by l'hysh-Uns. I have beaten the record," said a bright young man in one of the popular lispensaries of pure drugs and medi cines in Chicago. "One Sunday, while alone in the store I put up fifty-one pre scriptions. Now, twenty prescriptions a day is considered an average day's work for a clerk in a drug-store. It is not the actual mechanical labor in volved in compounding the formula. but the close concentration of atten tion, the accurate measurements, the observance of apparently unimportant details, and the care necessary to see that the doctor has made no blunder. I know there is a popular belief that doctors are infallible, but if you could look over our prescription tiles you would speedily change your mind upon that point." YAhtle ho was speaking two prescrip tions came in, one of which simply called for "Listerine," a new aud com paratively unknown medicine, without a word of direction as to its use not even the oft-retoated formula: "Used as directed." The other simply read and this came from one of the most prominent physicians of Chicago.whose fee for consultation is fifty dollars "Tr. aconite. One every two hours." One what? One dose? One teaspoon- fill? Now aconite ts a deadly poison, and one teaspoonful would speedily put tho taker beyond human aid. Fortunately the keen-eyed drug gist detected the omission, and suj- plied the hiatus with the. missing word drop." thereby probably saving a life and cheating the coroner out of a fee "There is another thing," said the druggist. "There are two solutions of morphia one prepared according to the United States Pharmacoptcia of 1870, and known as the U. S. P. formu la; the other known as Magendi's solu tion. The hint contains one grain of morphia to the ounce and a teasjtoon- fuldosc of it can be taken with safety by almost any patient. Magendi's so lution contains sixteen grains to the ounce, and a teaspoonful would knock John L. Sullivan out on the first round lou would scarcely believe it. but not one doctor out of live ever siecifies the particular solution desired, simply writing 'morphia, and leaving it entire ly within the discretion of the druggist whether to give the pat'ent one grain or sixteen grains of the deadly drug. l might give you instance alter in stance nf a similar eh.-iracter, but thee will suffice to show you that not all the mistakes which are made in the cnnijHi- sition and administration of medicine: can be laid at the doors of the drug gist. Chtcago Tribune- CANINE INTELLIGENCE. A Connertlrnt Dog Nt-il for 1IU Sa; ic-Hr, Isrrfnlnpoi and n Ixlnin. A dog owned by Colonel Newton, o Cromwell, goes twice a day to the rail road station for the morning and even ing pajwrs. He goes of his own accord is always 011 time, and waits abou where the baggage car is to stop, in the morning at one place and in the after noon at anotln-r. "There he waits un til the bundle is thrown off attd opener' by the station-master, when he takes his paper in his mouth ami immediate ly starts for home. If the weather is rainy, he has a piece of oil-skin which is kept iii a place where he can get it himself, and of his own accord he carries this with him, and the station master wraps it around the paper be fore giving it to him, in order that it may not get wet. Lu his return home pe puts the oil-skin away in its place, against the next rainy day." He knows the papers and insists on getting the right one. Once he was fooled. "In opening the bundle the station-master slipjwd one that was two days old out of his jKH-ket and handed t to the dog. IV-mo took it in his mouth ami started for home. Arriv ing there he took it to his master, and was rewarded by a pat on the head ami a kind word. Colonel Newton ad justed his sjKH-tacles and began to read. Of course he at once discovered the trick, although he thought at the time it vas only an error. Calling Demo to him he told him to take the paper back, and reprimanded him for making the mistake. I don't know what it was he said to him. but the dog seemed to understand it. for he hung his head and really looked ashamed. In a short time he was at the station with the old paper in his mouth, and going to the agent he laid the paper at his feet, and. looking in his face gave a short and very decided bark, as much as to say, "Give me the right paper, and do il now." He was offered one that was a day old, but after sniffing at it for a moment refused to take it, and not un til he was given a pajHU- of the right date would he have any thing to do with it. Since then, although an at tempt has been made several times to fool him again in the same way, he can not be deceived, and so, as I said bo fore, it seems as though the dog must be able to read.
