THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1895.
CHURCH.
It Is a Sign, for One Thine,
of the Ap-
proachlDg Old Age.
Dr. Chalmers went to preach for Ed
ward Irving', the erratic pcnius who
asked the privilege of .making a few
preliminary remarks and spoke an houi
or so in a crowded building, says the
Christian Advocate. Chalmers, refer
ring to it afterward, said: "What could
I do in an exhausted receiver?" There
are many cases justifying sleeping in
church; the mother who has been
watching two or three nights with a
sick child; the father who has been
thoroughly overworked, and invalids,
. are not to be condemned if they doze
in the sanctuary unwillingly. The car
bonic acid gas resulting from crowds,
and especially from gas jets, old air
heated by steampipes, the effects of
furnaces with red hot firepots, through
which not only carbonic acid gas, but
a far more dangerous gas, can perco
late, make the most devout and atten
tive drowsy.
Sometimes the first signs of old age
are a tendency to sleep in church. The
philosophy of the nod and of the atti-
' tudes of the head is this: Unconscious
ly we hold our heads in position by an
effort of the will. When sleep begins
that is relaxed; gravity takes charge of
the head and also of the under jaw,
but as the head slips back it produces
an uncomfortable feeling that slightly
awakens the sleeper, who spasmodical
ly exercises his will and straightens
himself up, and relaxes it immediately
afterward. This may continue in some
cases, putting the man in the attitude
apparently of bowing' assent to
every succeeding sentence. Is o wom
an will voluntarily sleep in church
if she has the ordinary desire
to appear well. It must, however,
be conceded that in many 'instances
the minister is to blame. If he suc
cumbs to depressing influences, and es
pecially if he drones or is prolix, or
preaches only "words, words, words,"
or has a canting tone, so that on what
ever he says the same stress is laid
at regular intervals; if he turns his
face to the wall and does not look
at the audience, or fixes his eye upon a
point and never removes it, or is very
long, or makes the same gestures fre
quently, he may lull the people. Some
preachers have to preach half an hour
or so to become interesting. It was
well said to one of them: "If you had
delivered the first thirty minutes of
your discourse in the adjoining grave
yard before entering the church the
effect upon the living would have been
greater."
NAPOLEON'S DAINTY TOILET.
After ills Morning Shave Hi. Valet Scoured
Him with Kan T) rnlnirnA.
One of the most interesting articles !
found among the recent numerous es
says upon the private life of Napoleon
is on the toilet of the emperor, which,
it appears, was a most important mat
ter and regulated down to the smallest
details with mathematical precision.
When awakened it was Napoleon's cus
tom to glance over the paper while the
fires were lit. He was sensitive to cold,
and a fire was prepared in every room
even in midsummer. Then of distin
guished people awaiting an audience
he would designate those whom he
wished to see, after which he would
rise and take a hot bath, lasting about
an hour. The daily shaving was the
next duty. Ordinarily his physician,
Corvisart, would be' present, chatting
and securing favors for his friends.
Napoleon's greeting was usually some
badinage, such as: "Ah, charlatan!
How many patients have you killed this
morning?" And the physician would
reply in kind. Two valets were neces
sary for shaving, one holding the basin
and another the mirror. The emperor,
in a flannel robe, de chamber, then
covered his face with soap and began
to shave. Throwing off his robe, No
poleon was next deluged with cau de
cologne and subjected to a thorough
scrubbing with a rough brush. The
valet then rubbed the whole body with
linen rolls saturated with eau de col
ogne a custom that Napoleon had ac
quired in the east. The scrubbing was
none of the lightest, either, for he
would call out from time to time:
"Harder rub harder." When the
scrubbing was over the emperor
dressed himself. A curious detail of
his custom was the religious care with
which he kept hung around his neck
the little leather envelope, shaped like
a heart, which contained the poison
that was to liberate him in case of irre
trievable reverses of fortune. This poi
son was prepared after a recipe that
Cabanis had given to Corvisart, and
after the year 1808 the emperor never
undertook a campaign without having
his little packet of poison.
Origin of the Word Honeymoon.
It was formerly a custom among
Teutonic nations to drink a liquor made
of honey, and called hydromel, for a
moving age (a month) after the wed
ding feast, nence the name "honey
moon." The Teutons knew very little
about treacle, as we learn that the name
Teutoni was given, 230 B. C, to a race
of people who had long been settled
in the country, and in the provinces
which are now known respectively as
Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein, but
which were then known collectively as
the Chersonesus Cimbrica. The Teu
tons may even have brought the custom
to England with them when they came
over the Kimmerian Bosphorus about
680 B.C.
Japanese Soldiers.
A British officer, who apparently
knows, says that it "would be as rea
sonable to charge brave men armed
v
armed with rifles as to pit, man for
man, the Chinese in their present con
dition against the Japanese. Of all
native and colonial troops I have seen,
and I have seen most of them," sayshe,
"I would, next to Goorkhas, prefer a
regiment of Japanese. They are brave,
temperate, patient and energetic, and
at this moment the Chinese, whatever
might be done with them, are two
hundred years behind." There is a
gymnasium in every Japanese bar
racks. .

A severe rheumatic pain in the left
shoulder had troubled Mr. J. H. Loper,
a well known druggist of Des Moines,
Iowa, fo.- six months. At times the
pain was so severe that he could hot lift
anything. With all he could do he
could not get rid of it until he applied
Chamberlain Pain Balm. "I only
made three applications of it," he says,
and have since been free from all pain."
He now reccomends it to persons simi
larly afflicted. It is for sale by Blakely
& Houghton Druggists.

"PerbaDB voa would not think bo, but
a very large proportion of the diseases
in New York cornea from carlessnes
about catching cold,"says Dr. Cyrus Ed
son. "It is such a simple thing and
common that very few people, unless it
is a case of pneumonia, pay any atten
tion to the cold. New York is one of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption which
have their origin in this neglect of the
simplest precaution of every day fife,
The most sensible advice is, when you
have one get rid of it as soon as possible,
Bv all means do not neglect it." Dr4 Ed
ion does not tell you how to cure a cold
but we will. It will relieve the lunge
aid expectoration, open the secretions
and soon effect a Dermanent cure. 50
cent bottles for sale by Blakely & Hough
ton, druggists.

cess of the kidneys. A trial will con
