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

and sent for seme of the medicine. The
result yon see in this waer. Why, after

Of course I don't know vet who won

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

Pardee has struck upon something that
medical men have pcen searching ailei
for years. Ever since the davs hei

all kinds of local applications hive had

mained lor the geiiius of ti e ninchentl

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

MIGRATION OF BIROS. -
Reasons Which l'rompt Them to Reek a
Warmer Climate In Autumn.
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

deepen and widen the tracks that others
are prone to follow, an I institute sys
tematic reforms. As men of state, far

it may sound, h is always proved the

Now, what toe modern ag demands
of those who iossess wealth is that they
employ it in the proper direetion if
their activities. No right-minded arti

So of other industrial operations. Con

their prosecution on an adequate scale.
And those on whom devolves the duty
of conducting these industries, and
who accept and perforin this duty as
responsible citizens, are not envied nor
denounced by soler-minded people,
however widely their lots may differ.
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. They even pre

higher and really more useful labors

AN IMPENDING EVIL.
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.

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.

But, according to a gentleman of Chi

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

CARELESS DOCTORS.
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

"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

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

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

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. Middlesex County
