" * s * t Getiis from Thackereji Nothing1 is secret. A good laugh is sunshine la a house. f L would rather win honor than s4 honors. Life without laughing is a dreary blank. I would rather havo genius than wealth. A hero , whether ho wins or loses , ia a hero. . * : You get tho truth habitually from equals only. I would rather be a man of gcniua fe * - - than a peer of the realm. A woman without a laugh in her is tho greatest bore in existence. Countless knights were slain before ' St. George won the battle. Jn the bat tle of life we aro all going to try 'for the honors of championship. Novels aro sweets. All people w'ith healthy literary appetites love .them almost all women ; a vast number of clever , hard-headed men. Lucky ho who has been educated to bear his fate , whatsoever it may be , un early example of uprightness , and a childish training in honor. When our prulp , our avarice , our in terests , our desire to domineer , aro worked upon , aro wo not forever pes tering heaven lo decide in their favor ? What man's life is not overtaken by one or more of those tornadoes that send us out of tho course , and fling us on rocks to shelter as best we may ? I would rather havo a good word than a bad one from any person ; but if a critic abuses me from a high place , and it is worth my while , I will ap peal.You You have , no doubt , remarked in jrotir experience of life , that when men do hate each other about a woman , or some other cause , tho real reason is never assigned. The world deals good naturodly with good natured people , and i never knew a sulky misanthropist , who quar reled with it but it was he. and not it , that was in tho wrong. The profitable maxim in life is the middle way. Don't quite believe any- ody , for he may mislead you ; neither disbelieve him , "for that is uncompli > , - mentary to your friend. Who has not felt how ho works the dreadful coiiquerinir spirit of ill ? Who cannot sue , in the Virele cf his own sociotv , tho fated and loredoomed to woe and misery ? Many -heart would be hardened but for tho memory of past griefs ; svhen eyes , now averted , perhaps , were full of sympathy , and hands now cold , were eager to soothe and succor. The JJ'J airman's Dilemma. "Bo sure and take caro of every thing while 1 am gone : and don't for- ojet to milk the cow. " "All right , Grotchen , I'll attend to tbe cow. " The last speaker was a tall , well- built man. Ho had served his time in a regiment of grenadiers , and on re ceiving his discharge had married Gretchen. He was entitled to a posi tion in tho civil service of the state , and as his educational endowments were not very brilliant , ho had been * appointed flagman on the railroad. As ii ' s is usual -Germany , ho occupied a small cottage with a little garden at tached , and facilities , for keeping a cow. His principal duty was to stand in front of his cottage , and display a flag as the train passed by. Gretchen had gone to the city to make some purchases , andhor parting injunction to her husband was to "milk that cow. " Fr.tz had never before had any "oc casion to milk.the cow , but he thought it was a very easy task. The cow thought otherwise. She had become Rf it1 accustomed to yield her milk at the solicitation of a little woman" henco , when a big man with a bucket ap proached , shu lilod a demurrer , so to speak , and kicked at him. He tried to approach her from the other side , but met with the same lack of success. A happy thought occured lo Fritz. Ho rushed into tho cottage , and put on one of his little wife's dresses. The cow looked at him with somewhat sur prise , and made no opposition to tho milking process. Fritz was getting fairly under way when he hoard tho whistle of : iu approaching train. There was no time to change , his clothes. He had just time to seize his ilag , and assume his position , when the train went slowly past , the win dows fllled with laughing or aston ished faces of the passenjrers. It was hard to tell whether Fritz was a man or a woman , as in hs wife's short dress he looked something like a bal let dancer. Only one man in the train did not laugh. Ho was a typical Englishman , with side whiskers , and an eye glass , and solemn face , who or.ively lookout a note book and pencil and wrote "In Germany Ihe llairuion on the railroads wear short women-'s dresses. " Wriciiigf a Hook to Order. Maj : Bon. Perley toore has dono considerable literary work this sum mer. He wrote for a publishing housa a life of Grant , which has already had a sale of 10,000 cop'es. Tho publisher came to him and said : "Maj. Poorc , I want a life of Gen. Grant , to contain about 90,000 words , and 1 want you to write it for me. 1 want ir in'about two months , if possible. I will pay you so much for it. " To this Maj. Pooro assented , on condition that they would furnish him with a steneogra- phor. They did so. and ho dictated tha work at an average rate of a chap ter every day. Each chapi r cauipris- odbout 2,500 words , and this contin uous writing is perhaps some of the fastest literary work of tha past year. Blaine considers 1,000 words a day cootl work. Frances Hodsoson Bur nett , when she was well , did from 1- 100 to 1,500 , and I am told that'Ban- sroft considers that when ho has writ- Jen 259 words he has douo a eood day's work. Ben : Perley Pooro looks remarkably well. He weighs about as much as usual , perhaps 250 pounds , rind his eye is sis bright as that of any correspondent here.

" Wall Street News. A Christmas Pantomime lu London. One of the old chief scenes represents an eastern princess and her ladies of honor in the miirblc bathing apartments of the royal palace. Perfumed pastiles burning on the stage give a pale rose color to the scene and diffuse a sensuous odor through the house. A veil of the most transparent gause is between the bathers and the audi ence. Presently-the ladies emerge from the bath. They are clad in silk tights so glossy as to stimulate the glistening of water. Thrown lightly around the hips or shoul ders are little scarfs of pale pink or green lace. The ladies dance and desport about the stage , twirling gaudy Turkish towels with golden embroidered ends , from which they wring real water. [ Xew York Star. A Troublesome Husband. A Waco , Tex. , woman met a friend who did not seem to be in good health. "How do you feel this morning ? " "Poorly.I'm ; feelin' right bad. You see I have to watch over my husband all the time. " "Is he sick ? " "Xo ; if he was sick I wouldn't have to watch him. He is in good health. That's what's the matter with him. " [ Texas Sittings. A Popular Ex-Mayor. Ex-Mayor Newton , of Des Moiries , la. , is deservedly popular in the city over whose destines he presided , by reason of the many good deeds and the unostentatious acts of charity which he is constantly doing. Suc cessful as a politician , he has also recently been playing the part of a good Samaritan with a success equal to his triumphs in poli tics. The fainting traveler by the wayside , whom he has raised up and refreshed by good counsel in the last instance , is Mr. George A. Crandale , the manager for Obernc , Hosick & Co. , Second and Walnut streets. Mr. Crandale , who naturally feels under many obligations to the Ex-Mayor tells as follows how he came into such a wretched plight as to need help and how it was cheerfully given : "I have never had an ache or pain of rheumatism , " he said , "since I used Atlilo- phoros , and the medicine cost me only $3. If any one had guaranteed to cure me I would willingly have paid him § 50 , yes § 100. My rheumatism was inflammatory , mostly in my ankles , but a little in the wrist. I could manage to hobble around by the use of canes , but felt as if I were walking on the bare bones , or in other words as if my feet were off and I was walk ing on the stumps. The pain was terrible to bear , yet I managed to be about and to attend to my business. "One day , during the time I was suffering so much , I hobbled to the Court House to look after some matter. As I was struggle- ing to get up the steps I met ex-Mayor Newton , who asked me what the trouble was. I told him that it was rheumatism , whereupon he advised me to gob a bottle of Athlophorous. I did not get it then , as I had no faith in patent medicines and did not want to take any. A short time after this I wrote to an old friend , Chailes P. Griffin , of Stuai't , to inquire what had cured him. I knew that he had been confined to his bed with rheumatism of the worst kind. Hfs answer was : 'Get Athlophoros. That is what cured me. " I then got some , but really had no faith in its curing me. I began to get relief from it in twenty-four hours. I continued taking it until I had used three dollars worth , when my rheumatism , both the pain and the swelling , was gone , and I have not.had any return since. That is now over a year ago. " Ex-Mayor Newton based his recommen dation of Athlophoros to Mr. Crandale upon the very remarkable cure it had effect ed in the case of his wife. That lady thus tells all about it : , "I havo been comparatively free from rheumatism for the past year and a half. Previous to that I had.been a great sufferer for years and had resorted to many reme dies , but nothing would do what Athlo phoros did for me. I have had a few twinges of late , but'I attribute that to my self and not to the" " medicine , as I have not been so careful as I should have been. Athlophoros took the stiffness out of the joints of iny fingers and gave me the use of my hands , in which I had so long had trou ble. I have recommended it in many cases and in every instance that I know of the results have been very satisfactory. I do not hesitate in the least in recommending it most heartily to every rheumatic suf ferer. " If you cannot get ATHLOPHOROS of your druggist , we will send it express paid , on r'- ceipt of regular price onedollarper bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your drug gist , but if hehnsn'tit , do not be persuaded to try something else , but order at once from us , , as directed.

A lady on Fifth Avenue , New York , quick ly summoned a doctor : ' "Oh , doctor , my husband is nearly dead. He attended a caucus last night. He made four speeches and promised to be with his fellow citizens again to-day. But oh , doc tor , he looks nearly dead. " "Has ho been in politics long ? " "No , only last year. He worked hard forJames McCaulny's election , " "He will get well , madam ! He has a stomach for any disease , il Ii3 worked for him ! " Political life , of short or long duration , is very exhausting , as is evident from the great mortality which prevails among pub lic men. Ex. U. S.-62iiator I ) . K. Bruce , who has been long in.public life , says : "The other day , when stepping into acar at a crossing , I found Dr. within , who eyed me up and down in a surprised way , remarking : " ' "Why , Senator , how well you look1 ! ' "Well , Ifecl pretty well,11 answered. " The doctor uttereJ an incredulous reply , when the Senator frankly told him , in an swer to an inquiry , that it was Warner's safe cure which accomplished for him what the profession had failed lo do. Senator Bruce says his friendsare very much aston ished at this revelation ol power. [ The Globe. Ovcnvhclmtnsly Defeated. ' Mr. Talmage's tabernacle now has 3,272 members.

Lactic acid , caused by the decomposition of the gelatinous and albumin ous tissues , circulates with the blood and attacks the fibrous tissues , particularly in the joints , and thus causes the local manifestations of the disease. The back and shoulders arc the parts usually afTcctcd by rheumatism , and the joints at the knees , ankles , hips and-wrists are also sometimes attacked.
