A certain Mrs. Mulaprop, who lives in a large eastern city, is noted for her skill iu unconsciously embarrassing oth er people, while she herself remains per fectly at case. Nothing ago she was in­ troduced to two sisters, young ladies who had long been known to her by name, though she had never met them. “ Now, my dears," shesaid, addressing them collectively, with her usual bland smile, and regarding them earnestly through her glasses, “ I have often heard of tho bright and tho handsome Miss Ratcliffe. Now I am so glad to meet you both, and I want you to tell me at once which of you is tho bright and which the handsome one." On another occasion she was dining with her nephew and his young wife, who had just set up housekeeping. The dinner did not go off quite so smoothly uathe young couple had hoped, and the cooking was by no means perfect. The hostess unwisely began to murmur apol­ ogies nnd livr husband joined in, half laughing, with references to his wife's youth uud inexperience. “ Don't say another word, my dear children," interrupted their kind hearted guest. “ I can assure you I've eaten u great deal worse dinners than this in the course of my life; a great deal worse. Yes,"she added meditatively, “ I've eaten some pretty bail dinners, you may be sure!"—Yon til's Companion. J>e l i t e r , ri K l o h ea lth ) M turn, ami not reappear wliilo I was at work. It was afraid o f me, and of me only, not of the candle or its flicker inv llame. I commenced then by offering a fly impaled on a splint of broom straw. No notice was taken of it so long as my hand was in sight. I kept the lly in position all the evening, resting it between two hooks, but still in line with my hand, which was in constant motion, for 1 was busy writing. l)i re d ly after I retired the lly was seized and dragged away. Night after night 1 struck u maleli to determine this, unit always with the same result. It was quick work with the spider, for 1 relighted my candle several times almost the sauio moment 1 ex tinguished it, but never caught the spider, and yet the lly had disap|M>ar ed. It evidently followed my move ment closely a proof itself of cun uiiig. During the second week the neces «ary confidence was gained, and Hie? were seized if the splint was several inches long, and I did not move my hand. The n st was easy, and every night the splint was shortened until but two inches in length, lint I could never induce the spider to take a lly directly from my lingers, or allow tut to touch it. Then came the concluding evidence of the spider's teachableness. Long before I left camp it would come from its web and lake its place before me. when tho candle was lighted and I had sat down to w rile, expecting its nightly rations o f two or three tlics These 1 nearly always provided. Dur iug the day the spider ilid not pay any attention tome, nor would it show it self at night if I moved aliout restless ly, had company, or made any uiiusii til noise, such as whistling. It hud learned to associate my posilion at the table, directly facing its web, with an available supply o f food; and proh ublv of my personality otherwise it had no conception. -Philadelphia Times. modern sense. Kvery performer played as well as he could, and the man who played upon the loudestiustrument-tbe kettle drum, for instance—marked the time for i be rest. | When music became more systematic an<* refined, the chief command of the orchestra was given to the member who waa regarded a« the most accomplished and skillful. He assigned the other mem­ bers their parts, drilled them at re­ hearsals and supervised the final per­ formance. To produce a good effect it was neces­ sary of course that the musicians should play in time, and the chief of the orchestra, who himself played one in­ strument, was accustomed to murk the beat by stumping on the floor with one foot. For this reason the conductor of an orchestra was at that period called the pedarius. Afterward it became customary for him to give the time by clapping the lingers of his right hand against the hol­ low of his left. The beater of time after this fashion was called the manuductor. Meantime experiments were made in marking the time by striking together shells and bones. The hones were soon given up as instruments tc be used by the conductor of mi orchestra; hut they survived us an independent instrument. Boys and negro minstrels “ play on the bones” with great gusto to this day. In the early part of tho Seventeenth century the musician already alluded to, Lully by name, arose. He found all these instruments of leadership ineffec­ tive, and in order to reduce his perform­ ers to complete subjection, be procured a stout staff six feet long, with which he pounded vigorously on the floor to mark the time. One day, becoming particularly impa­ tient, and pounding with especial vigur, Lully struck his foot instead of the floor with his baton. The wound gangrened, and Lully died from its effects in 1687. Tile baton continued in use through­ out the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, but though it gradually ue creased iu size, there is no evidence that conductors marked the time in any other way than by pounding upon their music stands or some other hard object. A ll this pounding must have had an unpleasant effect upon the music, and critics and musicians began to ridicule tho practice. In course of time, there­ fore, we find musical conductors no longer thumping upon the floor or their music stands, but beating the time en­ tirely in the air. It seems to have taken players a very long time to learn that they could get the time as easily by means o f the eye as by means of the ear — Youth's Companion. forar vbo w ;l Mfet tu«t>i# r l i t.ai. n l I*. ll . . . , T. 4. « • - . » .

Sometimes, it may be a matter of doubt. But, in the case of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, there’s no room for doubt, it’s a matter that can be proved. W ith the facts before you, it’s an insult to your intelligence to have something else offered as “ just as good.” And here’s tho p ro o f: Among all the medicines that claim to cure woman’s peculiar weaknesses, irreg­ ularities, and diseases, the “ Favor­ ite Prescription ” is the only one that’s guaranteed. If it doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it, if it doesn’t give satisfaction in every case, you’ll have your money back. There’s strength and vigor for every tired and feeble woman, health and a new life for every delicate and ailing woman — and if there’s no help, there’s no pay. There is ease for those far gone in consumption— not recovery— ease. There is cure for those not far gone. There is prevention— bet­ ter than cure for those who are threatened.
