THE PSALM OF LIFE.
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
"Life is but an empty dream 1"
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real 1 Life is earnest !
And the grave is not its goal ;
"Dust tbou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.
Kot enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
Art is long, and time is fleeting,
And our hearts though stout and brave,
Stilt, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave,
in the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouhcof life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be a hero in the strife !
Trust no future, bowe er pleasant!
Let the dead past bnry its deadl
Act act in the living present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind ns
Footprints in the sands of time
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing shall take heart again.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Mffleall to Inflict Pmla.
The doctor smoked slowly on hi
rigitr. It wits pluiu that he had some
thing to say.
"I was thinking of my early college
days," ho said, "and of a peculiar in
cident that happoued very soou after 1
began my studies. Tho professor was
instructing tho class one day on the
corpuscles of tho blood. lu order to got
some fresh blood for microscopical ex
amination each student was ordered to
tie a nig around his forefinger and striko
the top of tho finger suddenly with a
needle with suflieient . force to draw
blood Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you
know there wasn't a nuui iu tho class
that did it at tho first attempt It was
funny to watch somo of thoso embryo
surgeons poise tho needle with a deter
mined air and launch it to within a
hair space of the flesh and tuore stop
dead. Others tried to force the ueodle
iu slowly, bnt paused very shortly,
with au expression of paiu couimeu
surnte to that of au amputation. 1 my
self gave it np as a bad job, and hacked
a cavity in my thumb with a poukuifo,
and found it easier.
"The faet thnt wo were very yonng
and inexperienced is uo explanation for
this peculiarity, as I have siuce fouud
by personal test Almost everybody ex
hibited the same repugnance to inflict
ing pain in that manner. Try it your
self. "
The other man tried and succeeded on
the fourth trial. New York Suu.
Art of Makluc Mu.tard I'lutfr.
To put on a mustard plaster is not tit
all diftlcult hut to do it iu the best way
requires some care and skilL Iu the
first place, remember uever to givo a
cold mustard plaster to a patient To a
weak or sensitive person tho shock is
often great Either mix with very hot
water, or, bi'tter still, hnve a plate put
whore it can got warm while you are
mixing Having everything ready at
hand, mustard, flour aud a spoonful of
molasses, with a bit of old muslin or
linen an old handkerchief is the best
thing for tho purpose. Stir the mustard
end flour together first making the
plaster stronger or weaker with mus
tard as you have been directed. Add
the molasses aud theu the water until
the smooth mass is about as thick as
porridge or poultice. Spread your cloth
on the warm plate, using the middle
portion of tho lineu and leaving a mar
gin on all sides, which u to be folded
back at the edges. Put a second cloth
over the whole, so that the mustard it
entirely hid between the two covers and
keep on the plate nntil it is necessary
to itpply the plaster. Philadelphia
Ledger.
Value of Toe. la Walking.
The idea that the lesser toes are neces
sary in walking is generally entertain
ed, and it has been a surprise to Euro
pean physicians to learn that amputa
tion of all the lesser toes of both feet
has been followed by complete recovery
and the restoration to usefulness of both
the feet operated upon. The feet healed
slowly after the operation, bnt very
steadily and without unpleasant com
plications. The operati ju was perform
ed, and in a little more than a year and
a half the patient danced all night and
experienced no iucunveuieuce whatever
on account of having only one toe on
each foot She rides a wheel, plays ten
nis and enjoys every sport that girls of
her ago are fond of. The cause of the
trouble was originally chilblains, which
was neglected nntil it produced con
traction of the muscles with the most
intense pain, which was at times so
severe that she could not enjoy the
necessary amount of sleep. Surgeons are
of the opinion that a great deal of need
less suffering is endured which might
be relieved by extremely simple opera
tions oa the feet. New York Ledger.
How to Prevent Croup.
We have two children who are subject
to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. It is a household
necessity in this county and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be out Chambprluin's Cough Remedy.
More of it is so'd here than of all other
counh medicines combined. J. M.

Dodging a Shot.
When Dewey was first lieutenant of
one of the gunboats which Farragut
used as a dispatch boat the admiral
used often to come aboard and steam np
near the levee to recounoitcr. The
southerners bad a way of rushing a field
piece to the top of the high bauk, firing
point blank at the gunboat and then
backing down again. Upon one such oc
casion Farragut saw Dewey dodge a
shot
"Why don't yon stand firm, lieuten
ant?" said ha "Don't you know you
can't jump quick enough?"
A day or so after the admiral dodged
a shot. The lieutenant smiled and held
his tongue, but the admiral had a guilty
conscience. He cleared his throat once
or twice, shifted his attitude and Anally
declared:
"Why, sir, you can't help it, sir. It's
human nature, aud there's au end to
it"

Cigarette smoking is a common prac

Wagner Sold "Lohengrin" For SO.
"When-in the fifties-. Wagner's work's
began to spread through Germany, one
town after another put 'Tne Flying
Dutch,' 'Kiensi,' 'Tannhauser' Hiid
'l.ohemtiln' on its theatre's program,"
writes Richard Wagner's biographer in
tiie October Ladies' Home Journal.
"At that epoch theatres In Germany
gave no percentage whatever. The only
obligation the law imposed on them was
to buy the score. The price of fhe score
was fixed in each special ease between
the theatre and the author, and varied
according to the population of the town
and the success expected. Once the
score was bought, the theatre had no
further obligation toward the author.
Wagner usually got from forty to eighty
dollars for a score, and rarely one hun
dred and twenty dollars. What Wsgner
got -once for all-tor 'Riensi, 'The Fly
ing Dutchman," rannhausei' and' Lohen
grin' amounted, therefore, all told, to
something like fifty to one hundred
dollars from each theatre which put
these works on the stago.
"'Another source of income ought to
have been the sale of the scores to the
publishers, several of whom have made
fortunes with them. But the fact that
Wanner was always in want of money
put him in a disadvantageous petition.
Tristan,' for example, was sold for eight
hundred dollars, and 'Lohengrin' for
eighty dollars."
