HALF A CENTURY AGO.
' Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In a Way
to Atonlsh Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1855 the use
and abuse of strong drink were almost
universal, trat it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excesses in the old times came
after a solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and convivial
ity, bat the amount drank was enor
mous. When the exchange was com
pleted, in 1832, a dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and a well known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought a very large al
lowance of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1853 the final audit of the account)
of the United States bank was complet
ed, and on behalf of the government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
M. Mason and a Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. It was a mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber of the bank building now the
custom house at 11 o'clock. A bottle
of brandy and six of Madeira were on
the table, and after a short inspection
of papers the wine was opened, and by
1 o'clock was drank. The day was
warm, and a bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and a flask of Curacoa.
This was drank, and the three com
mitteemen went to dine with Charles J.
Ingersoll about 5 o'clock. They returned,
bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until 12, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and a mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con
ducive to digestion. A tumbler of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at daybreak to drink a
cup of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the night's potations.
It is apparent that in a life like this
it was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
gout, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and so the habit of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.
Gambling was almost universal, and
many fortunes of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this way. Philadelphia

Financial Affkirs of France.
The financial speech of the ex-Prime
Minister M. Loubet, in the senate, is to
be posted, by order of tllat house, all
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 1,200, 000,
000. It also appears that the difficulty of
making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since M. Meline secured the tri
, umph of his system. The court of audits
. has discovered 211 irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid.
By irregularities it means embezzle
ments, set down under the head of "vire
ments." Among them figures the 800 spent
on behalf of a minister for "cabs,"
and 640 a month for little "de
jeuners" at Voisin's, where a min
ister of justice entertained his friends.
The "virements" at the home office are
set down at 650, those of the war of
fice at 1,330, those of the colonial office
at 2,090, those of the public works of
fice at 2,375. When M. de Freycinet
was war minister, the "virements" of
his department amounted to about 6,
000 a year. . He, as minister of publio
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
- since Thiers' retirement. The redeem
. able loans were an expedient of M. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
publio works department. London

A Horrible Suspicion.
. Lysander Dickerson of Sterling, His.,
thus writes to the Chicago Journal:
"In a recent issue of your paper I find
an item describing at some length the
moving of the old Liberty bell into its
new quarters in Independence hall at
Philadelphia, and a recital of the safe
guards with which the historic relic is
now surrounded. In this item the bell
itself is described with more or less mi
nuteness. The article recalls to my mind
the fact that some 45 years or so ago,
in company with S. S. Dana of Wilkes
barre, Pa., I visited Independence hall
and naturally made a close and careful
inspection of this historic relic. At
- this time there was a place- a foot or
more deep chipped out at one of the
outer edges. When it was exhibited at
. the fair, there were no evidences of van
dalism. This convinces me of the truth
:' of the story, which is generally unbe
liever!, to the effect that years ago the
old bell was sold to an enterprising
Yankee and' by him worked up into
trinkets. I claim to have one of them. " 1

she accepted him on the spot, and before

A World's Fair Reminiscence. -
It happened two years ago, but the
facts never came out till one day last
week.
A man whose personality must be con
cealed for the present under the ficti
tious name of Tom Gallagher was attend
ing the World's fair. He stepped into a
restaurant in the Manufactures build
ing to get something to eat. The crush
was enormous, the waiters were flying
to and fro in helpless confusion and aft
er Tom Gallagher had secured a seat at
one of the tables he seemed no nearer
his dinner than before.
He waited patiently a few minutes
and then beckoned a waiter to him.
"My friend," he said, slipping a half
dollar into his hand, "bring me some
thing to eat as quick as you can. "
"Boss," said the waiter, with emo
tion, "I've been here more'n a month,
and you're the first man that's ever givt
me a cent But," he added in a hoarse
whisper, "I've managed to steal $6."

Ants as Biters.
Ants are terrible fighters. They nave
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with a wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with a death hold to one an
other, making a peculiar spectacle, some
with a leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip of an ant's jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. Ex

HIS FIRST LOVE AFFAIR.

"George, do you remember your first
love affair?" -
He tilted back in his easy chair and

With a retrospective look in his eyes,
George thereupon began: ,
"Well, it happened when I had boy
ish blue eyes and a high ambition,
with a great amount of self confidence.
Since then, you may observe, my eyes
have grown gray, my ambition has
been tempered by experience, and my
self confidence, if I really have any,
does not so boldly assert jtself.

of 18 summers. Do not ask me to de

seen before or have seen since. On
different occasions, with no great
amount of time intervening, I remem
ber of thinking of her as being angelic,
amiable, affable, beautiful, cute, cour
teous, confiding, dear, and so on down
through the alphabet ' I told her so,
too, for I always told her , all my
thoughts.

names, probably did, but this, you
know, is only an off-hand recital, with'
out reference to notes.
"Well, one summer evening it
strikes me it was in June I found my
love in a nook beneath a lilac bush,
and in the fading twilight . I gathered
courage to ask her to be mine.
"She blushed deeply, her lips trem
bled for a moment, then she turned her
pretty face from me and murmured an
answer.
"Then my boyish blue eyes flashed
defiance to the world, and my heart
was in a raputre, as I clasped my pret

"And she was happy too?" Al ven
tured.
"Not a bit of it - She freed herself,
her lips were puckered into a pout, and
there was a scowl on her face that
gave me the toothache.
'"How dare you take such liberties!'
she hissed, and her little foot came
down with all the force she could
summon.
"I begged of her to consider that I
had asked her to become my wife, and
had she not answered yes?'

FANNY KEMBLES PUNCH.
It Was Terr Seductive and Had a Disas-
: trous Bdect.
One characteristic anecdote of Mrs.
Eemble, which, so far as I know, has
not got into print, may be mentioned.
Two youthful friends of hers having
given invitations for a picnio on the
border of the Stockbndge Bowl, Mrs.
Eemble, with the warm-hearted . sym
pathy she always showed toward young
people, associated herself with them in
the plan, and made the entertainment
much more complete than they had in
tended. She engaged a band from Al
bany, had a dancing platform erected,
anri nnmfvrons boats ensraired. - Unfor
tunately the p'nrich, which had been
subtly compounded in New York, had
for the sake of economical transporta
tion, "no allaying Thames.'. The day
was hot; there was a cry for something
to drink,, and at a fatal moment, when
the person who should have superin
tended the beguiling beverage was en
gaged in another part of the grounds,
it was prematurely poured into the
punch bowls as undiluted as if Friar
Tuck had presided. Its cunning smooth
ness disarmed the suspicion of the
wariest guests, some of whom were be
trayed before the mistake was discov
ered and corrected. The climax came
when, after the lunch, and at a mo
ment when two or three of the more
unfortunate gentlemen had gone to a
sequestered spot for a restorative swim,
Mrs. Eemble ordered the chief boat
man to bring to the little dock, pre
pared for the embarkation of those in
clined for a row, the largest of the
boats, which had been specially decor
ated for the oocasion. The man hesi
tated and stammered.
"No words 1" imperiously com
manded Mrs. Eemble, in Lady Mac
beth' s tone. "Bring the boat!"
After several vain efforts at remon
strance, he said deprecatingly, "I
thought maybe as one of your gents
was in the boat naked and drunk, you
would rather not have it brought just
yet,"
Those who have heard Mrs. Eemble
read Falstaff and Pistol can imagine
the mixture of amusement and disgust
on her face at this rejoiner. I have
called this anecdote characteristic, but
I need not say it is characteristic of
one little side only of her noble being.
The impetuous generosity, the glowing
sensibility, the unfreigned religious
ness of this child of nature, of whom
heredity and enviroment made an ac
tress, can be told only in the story of
her life. Century for August

A BUILDER TALKS.
A GREAT SUFFERER FOR YEARS,
CURED IN TWO WEEKS.
A. N. Tompkins, a Resident of Oregon
City, Relates a Most Won
derful Story.
From the Enterprise, Oregon City, Or.
A representative of the Oregon City
Enterprise visited Mr. A. N. Tompkins,
the well-known carpenter and builder,
of Oregon City, and finding him hard
at work, asked if he was the man who
had been ill of rheumatism. Receiv
ing an affirmative answer, the reporter
asked if he would have any objections
to making a statement of his case, how
he was cured, etc., for the benefit of
the public.
"No objections at all," said Mr.
Tompkins. "I have suffered with lum
bago for years, having bad spells off
and on. Sometimes it would lay me
up entirely. Whenever I did any
heavy lifting, or got wet or caught
cold, I would have a bad spelL Some
times I would be so bad that I could
not straighten up. I was always look
ing for something on which I could
count for certain relief, if not absolute
cure. I tried many physicians. One
nearly succeeded in. making a mor
phine fiend of me by injeoting mor
phine into my body to relieve the pain
he could not cure and was not honest
enough to admit All these medicines
and doctors did me no good, some even
as in this case, doing me harm.
: "While working on the Barclay
building some months ago I had an at
tack. I immediately went to Char-
man & Co. 's drug store and told Mr.
Charm an to give' me a box of Pink
Pills. Having bought them, I com
menced taking them at once, and after
the first .day I experienced relief, and
in two weeks I was entirely welL I
had in that time used part of the second
box. Being at the home of my daugh
ter-in-law, Mrs. - Lena Tompkins, and
hearing her complain of rheumatism,
I gave her the balance.
"Now, I have worked right along,
and in spite of the wet weather and the
fact that I have a heavy cold just now,
I have no indication of the presence of
my old disease, and any one of the
three things (heavy work, wet weather
and a cold) which I now have combin
ed, would have given me a bad spell
heretofore. I consider Dr. Williams
Pink Pills a great remedy, and I be
lieve they have absolutely cured me.
At least, if they have not, it is only a
question of continuing the remedy long
enough, and if I ever have a return of
the pain I shall fly to Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St Vitus, dance, sciatica,

DEIFNES8 CANNOT BI CtTBED
By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to care Deafntss, and that is
y constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rum Mine sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flammed condition of the mucous surfaces.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
'ess expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs. ,
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 60c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
