A veteran physician speaking on this
enbjeot recently said : "Judging of the
Ihoughta of moo. by thei words just
previous to death , I should Bay it often
happens that a dying person gives no
indication , of thought upon a subject
that has been a favorite" 'topic of a life
time. I have known active business
men , with important affairs unattended
to , who died with words upon their lips
that indicated absorption in some inci
dent of the moment , generally relating
to personal comfort It was that sort of
a death that Washington Irving died ,
saying : 'Well I mast arrange my pil
lows for another weary night ; if this
could only end. ' Long suffering under
the afflictions of a painful disease will
servo to divert the mind of the strong
est. Even the philosopher , Ben Frank
lin , was forced to say , with his last
breath , 'A dying man can do nothing
easyIt is a very common thing for a
dying person to express sympathy with
attendants who have been fatigued in
attending them. Among the last words
of Sir Walter Scott were 'Poor souls , I
know you were up all night. ' "
Better to he Lawyer Than Litigant.
"Is it true that the case of Zabriskio
against Yan Riper is settled ? " asked a
reporter of lawyer L. M. Ward , of Paterson -
erson , N. J. This case has been in the
courts for a long time.
"Yes,1" replied Mr. Ward , "the case
is settled. "
"And it is said , Mr. Ward , that you
have come into possession of the farm. "
"That's so , " replied Mr. Ward , laugh-
Ing. "I've got the farm , and Garry
Ackerson , of Hackensact , the lawyer on
the other side , nas got all the money. I
got a mortgage on the farm , and then I
paid the balance and became the owner.
The money I paid went to Ackerson. ' "
"And what have the two farmers got ,
Mr. Ward ? "
"Nothing. When we began the case
there were two well-off farmers and two
poor lawyers. Now there are two poor
farmers and two well-off lawyers.New -

Millions That We Drink.
Statistics just published show that
the quantity of beer brewed in the
United States during the last twelve
months , was five hundred and thirty-
eight million gallons , or twenty-three
million gallons more than was made
during the preceding year. It appears
that the production has been steadily
and rapidly increasing year by year.
The brew of 1883 shows an advance of
106 per cent , over that of 1875. But
let not good temperance people too
quickly take alarm at these figures.
The census returns show that while the
production of malt liquors in the- coun
try increased in value during the decade
between 1870 and 1880 from fifty-five tea
a hundred and one million dollars , the
production of distilled liquors increased
during the same period from thirty-sir
only to forty-one million dollars. Is not
this good proof that the people are drink
ing more beer and less whisky ? Ncio

Twice Almost a Bride.
About three years ago Miss Bose
Haverman , a bright and good-looking
young lady of Greensburg , Pa. , was en
gaged to wed a young gentleman of
Middletown , Pa. , by the name of Fox.
He died three days before the ceremony.
Stricken with grief , the young lady for a
time lived in retirementbut , recently her
heart and hand were again sued for and
successfully won by a promising young
man of 22 , named David Price. They
were engaged to be married , and Mr.
Price removed to Latrobe , where , re
cently he lost his life while bathing , just
three weeks before he hoped to be united
in marriage to Miss Haverman. Upon
hearing the news of her affianced's sud
den death , she left immediately for La
trobe to attend the funeral , only to dis
cover that he had been interred the
previous day , the news having been de
layed in reaching Greensburg. Greens-

Swallowing a Trombone.
"Wall , neow , will you look at that fel

laying one hand affectionately on the
shoulder of the scribe , and pointing
svith the other to the trombone player.
"I kin take my affidavy I saw him run
three foot o' that ere brass thing down
tus throat not half a minute ago ; there
lie goes again ; he shoved a yard of that
ihing into himself then , sir , if it was an
inch ; he must be frightful holler inside. "
"It's long practice that enables him
do that , " said the reporter. "When
10 get's done playing on that instrument
10 will swallow it entire. "
"He won't have no more brass in him
lian you've got , if he does , sonny , " said
he rustic , perceiving the guile of the
icribe as the latter fled from' the wrath

HUMOROUS.
"Where is the girl of long ago ? "
sings Joaquin Miller. We saw her the
other day , Joaq. But she isn't a girl
any more. She had gray hair and a wart
on her nose ; had no teeth , and were
specs. '
An English traveler thinks wo have

An observing pedestrian has made
the startling discovery that the reason
why women can not. succeed as well as

A gentleman , who was describing to
his wife an accident ho had witnessed ,
said , that for a moment ho fairly held his
breath. "Did you , dear ? " was the reply ,
"and for a whole moment ! It mubthave
been a wonderful exhibition of strength. "
There is a man in Burlington who
has failed in businees five tunes since he
was twenty-three years old , and has
never lost anything but his temper.
And pays fifty cents on that never gets
more than half so angry as other men.
A good deacon not a thousand miles
froih Oil City , Pa. , being late at a
church where it was his duty to hold
service , asked the congregation to ex
cuse his tardiness , as he had been up
the night before opening the finest lot
of dry goods ever brought to town.
Human nature is pretty much the
same the world over. Even in France ,
when a woman rushes out into the front
yard bare-headed , the neighbors all know
that a 'strange chicken has put in its
appearance , or that a dog has chased
cat across the verbena bed.
"The boat has turned over and
drowned your son , " said a man approach
ing a fishing party and addressing an
old gentleman. "Great goodness ! "
exclaimed the old man , bursting into
tears. "He was my hope in this life.
He was the best boy on the place ; and
besides that , he had the bait cup with
him. "
A young lady from the rural dis
tricts entered a dry goods store the other
day , and asked for a pair of stockings.
The clerk politely asked her what num
ber she wore. "Why , two , you blasted
fool ! Do you suppose I am a centipede ,
or have got a wooden leg ? How many
do you suppose a two-legged hair-phi
like me would wear ? "
A farmer widower of a back county
in this State was chased over a barn lot
by a bull , stamped on , tossed over the
fence , kicked by a colt and suffered a
concussion of the nervous system
through the coy advances of a sportive
ram. When picked up he was weeping
bitterly , and upon being asked the cause
of his grief replied with great emotion :
"That Jar experience recalls such vivid
memories of my poor lost Sairy. "
The Arkansaw man has many ways
of getting his name into print , and when
all other means fail the mad dog resort
is taken up. The gentleman who wants
his name to appear in the local paper
calls on the editor and says : "Killed the
biggest mad dog this morning you ever
saw. Better mate a local to that effect
as it might serve as a warning to the
people ot the neighborhood. Youneedn't
say that I killed him. Just say that a
very large mad dog was killed the other
day by well , you can put my name in.
I don't care. "
The President of the Liiue-Kiln Clnb
on Matrimony.
"I understand , " began the President ,
as the meeting opened in due form , "dat
quite a number of de members of dis
club am gwine to be mar'ied doorin' dis
season. Dat's all right , an' I wish 'em
much joy , an' shall be glad to witness ,
de obsequies of each an' ebery one. But ,
I want to say a few words in gineral. In
do fust place , am you gwine to mar'y fur
love or fur a sort of business partner
ship ? II you answer fur love , let me
warn you to be sartin dat you doan' mis
take de sentiment. Many a young man
who thought his heart torn by love has
plunged into matrimony to diskiver
dat he simply had admiration fur a $30
set of false teeth an * a high instep. If
you answer fur a sort of bizness part
nership , let me warn you not to expect
too much. You won't love de woman ,
an' she won't trust you. It will be a sort
o' hess trade , in which both parties will
be cheated , and both continer to be mad
about it. You kin get along arter a fash
ion , on' people who see her on your arm
at a circus won't know how you fight at
home.
"If you mus' marry , let common
sense have a show in de transackshun.
Doan' go off yer feet bekase you meet a.
gal who kin sing like a robin , smile like
a rose an' jump off a street-kyar widout
boderin' do driver to stop. A wife will
have much to do besides singin' an' cul-
tivatin' dimples. If you am gwine to
many ax yerself how fur $10 per week
will go when divided up fur clothes an'
pervishuns an' house rent an' fewel an *
incidentals. Befo' you fall iu love wid a
gal who looks too sweet fur any thin' in
a red plush sacque kinder figger on how
many sich duds your income would
afford her. Befor' you am all broke up
ober a gal who plays de planner , talks
French , paints landscapes an' reads
poetry jist sit down an' figger who am
to cook yer meat an' taters , patch yer
cloze , darn yer socks an' help ye make
$12 buy $15 worth of things. Befo' ye
let a pa'r o' flashin' eyes an' a cunnin'
dimple captivate ye look aronn' a little
an' see if de owner has got a temper like
a wildcat. Marriage am a lottery simply
bekase people take each odder unsight
an * unseen. Let us now prognosticate
to bizness. " _
A Recipe For Making Cake.
I have always thought well of the
cooking schools , but I saw recently the
notes taken down by a young lady of
fashion , who had just come from a cook
ing lesson , and I don't know now what
to think. The young lady saw a friend
at the school who had just appeared in
an elegant new spring costume , and her
notes ran about like this : "A fine cake.
One pound and a half of flour , four
ruffles across the front , one cupful of
milk cut bias , whites of two eggs' with
kilt plaiting , butter the dish with bugle
trimming , bake in a moderate waist un
