Crawfordsyille Boy

The Little Fellow a Sufferer from Abscess.

Others Failed but Hood's Sarsaparilla Cured Him. "I have a boy, nine years old, who has been a great sufferer from an abscess, which was caused by a brace worn for spinal curvature. For two years after the abscess was lanced, he was unable to help himself at all. We had the best physicians in our reach, but they did him no good. They all s&id he could live but a short time and ndvised us to give him no more medicine. We followed their advice for a year nnd did not give him anything. Then we gave him Hood's

Sarsaparilla, and before he had tinished taking one bottle we Could See a Change. It was not long before he could walk on his hands and knee* and then 011 crutches, and in a year after he began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla ho laid aside the crutches, and the abscess linally healed. Today he is able to go to school and join in the sports of the other children. I am satisfied that Hood's Sarsaparilla saved ray boy's life, nnd I cheerfully recommend this medicine to any one nfilicted." JOHN

QUEER JAMAiCA'WAYS.

How One Woman Failed In Roine to Do as the Romans Do. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do, "says the old distich, but in these days of universal travel it is somewhat necessary to know beforehand the manners and customs of the native inhabitants of the countries that are visited. "I have eaten with chopsticks with a mandarin's wife and daughter in China and sat cross legged with the Persiau ladies in Teheran and smoked nargiles," said an American woman who was nothing if uot cosmopolitan, "but J[ never failed to adapt myself success--fvily to the customs of the country nnTtil I reached Jamaica, in the West Iu.dies. I had letters to one of the magnates (there, aud upon delivering them

I received a prompt invitation to breakfast and to spend the day. The hour was ,uot mentioned, but as the peoplb were

French I supposed of course it was 12 o'clock, a la fourchette, at which time I presented myself, only to find that I had been expected at 8. However, my -.entertainers were most hospitable, and their usual frugal luncheon of cake, wine and fruit was evidently supplemented by more substantial viauds for iny benefit. After luncheon I was asked ^.if I would like to take a nap. As I had jfiist arrived I assured my hosts that I never slept in the daytime and proceeded to make myself as agreeable as possible. My entertainers endeavored to be cheerful, but there was something in .... the atmosphere that made me aware that I had committed a solecism, and that I had guessed rightly was very apparent in the relieved looks of the family when I said that I thought 1 did feel tired and would be glad to repose myself a little. I was immediately conducted to au apartment which had evidently been arranged with the expectation that I would go regularly to bed, and wishing me a good rest the lady •and gentleman of the house left ine for the whole afternoon. "About 5 one of the daughters came to fetch me in a fresh toilet, looking very nice and'making me feel very tumbled and untidy in consequence. So after I had been shown the gardens, which were really lovely, I began to make mes adicuy. 'But you must stop to dinner,' they urged 'we quite expected you.' But I thought they had had enough of me and persisted in my refusal. I thought they parted from me ratli--er stilliy, and in driving over the long avenue which led up to the house I met number of smartly dressed people, who, I af tor ward learned, had boen invited especially to meet me. So I miss_ed it,., all aronud and gave no end of Troubi&uud offense, all because I did not just know Jamaica habits."—New York

THE CODE OF HONOR.

:DiteliiiK as It Was In France In the Time of Richelieu.

The passion for dueling, which bad cost France, it was said, between 7,000 ami 8,000 lives during the 20 years of Henry IV's reign, was at its height when his scu came to tho throne. The council of Trent in 1545 had solemnly condemned the practice of single combat, impartially, inolnding principals, seconds and spectators in Its penalty of excommunication. In 1602 an edict of Henry pronounced the "damnable cnatam of dueling introduced by the corraptian of the century" to be the canse of so many piteons' aooidents, to the extreme regret and displeasure of the king and to the irreparable damage of the state, "that we-should count ourselves unworthy to hold the scepter if we delayed to repress the enormity of this '5icriine. $ A whole series of edicts followed to /this."same "effect, but it,was easier to ,V ^jmake edicts than to enforce them. Deg£jn^tiw, .im^iBpnment, confiscation of civil rights and death .Were the^p^nalties attached to the inffnn|etrient of the laws against dueling, /aifd fitHlxthe practice prevailed. In 1626

Bioherlita published a milder form of ••^Tprdhibitionc The first offense was ho longer capital, a third only of the offender's property waa to be confiscated,

and the judges were pefmittecTtb reoSg^ nize extenuating circumstances. A few months later the Comte de Bouteville thought fit to test the minister's patience in this direction, The Place Royale had long been a favorite dueling ground, and De Bonteville traveled from Brussels to fight his twen-. ty-secoud uel hore, in the heart of Paris, in deliberate defiance of the king's authority. The result was not encouraging. Montmorency though ho was, the connt went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked decrease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed oither to the moderation used in framing the law or to the inexorable resolution with which it was enforced. —Macmilla'u's Magazine.

The Salts In Use Ocean.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.

General IIarrlton Advocates Town Meetings Once or Twice a Year. Ex-President Harrison, in a series of articles on "This Country of Ours" in The Ladies' Homo Journal, writes vig orouslyof the great necessity of the peopie insisting upon the strict enforcement

D£ the laws. Directly upon this point he 'says: "Wo need general assemblies of the people in the smaller civil subdivisions, to be held regularip once or twice a year, town meetings in which two questions only shall be considered:

First, aro the public officers faithfully and honestly transacting the public business? Second, aro the laws—not this law nor that, but all laws—enforced and obeyed? All questions of law reform should be excluded, left to parties or so-

People afflicted with shaking palsy cieties organized to promote them. The are greatly relieved by traveling long journeys in fast trains. The greater the oscillation tho better they are. Dr. Charcot, noticing this, has had a chair made to which a rapid side to side movement is given by electricity. The effect is to give a healthy man nausea, hut a palsied patient enjoys it, and after a quarter of au hour in it is a different man. He stretches his limbs, loses fatigue and enjoys a good night's rest afterward

A Solemn Warning.

What is the man doing? Ho is clin ')iug to the electric lamp to light his pip*.

Will lie light it? No, but we will go to his funeral tomorrow.

Is he a poor man No, but he never subscribed to a newspaper and does not know that the war is over.—Atlanta Constitution.

enforcement of tho law, whether we opposed or aided the making of it the strict accountability of public officers, whether we opposed or aided their election, should be the objects and tho limits of these meetings. There should be no distinction of persons. "Our law and order movements are too apt to be confined to what we, not too accurately, call influential people. Every man and woman ought to have a chance to choose his side, without regard to station or wealth or race or color. There will be none too many. In some such movements it has seemed to me that many have been assigned to the wrong side who would have chosen the right. There is danger that such may accept the place they would not have chosen., Can any working plan be devised to maintain from day to day an effective watchful interest among the body of our citizens in the enforcement of the laws, aud in a clean, honest administration of public affairs—small and great? Or are wo to accept the humiliating conclusion that bad things cannot be made good, or even better, until they come to be persistently and utterly bad or still worse, that when the river of popular indignation has cleaned the stable it ia only to leave us without a.supply of water for daily sanitation?"

Rentitotlon by an Earthquake. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good" is a well known axiom which was verified ouce in a somewhat peculiar manner in tho Philippine islands.

About 14 years ago the first ciass iron vessel Rhoodie, of 1,600 tons register, was scuttled in Manilla bay, having caught fire when on the point of sailing with a full and valuable cargo of hemp, pearl, shell, gum copal, bar copper and other merchandise.

During the earthquake many months later she was thrown up by a tidal wave from wheie she lay in 12 futlioii:.-' of water to close inshore in two or three fathoms and was then purchased by on enterprising diving and salvage company just started in Singapore for the trifling sum 6f £14, when it transpired that her cargo had not suffered from her long submersion and was valued at about £60,000.—Pearson's Weekly.

The Ticking of the Clock*

"The ticking of a clock," says Mr. Bugleby, "is a sound so familiar that we take no thought of it till it ceases. Here are two or three of us sitting together talking. Suddenly we become dimly conscious that there is something missing a moment later some one says, 'The clock has stopped.' Then we all listen. What a roomful of silence I Then we wind the clock and set it going. How pleasant it is to hear it again, and how loud and plain it sounds at first, but soon it sinks to its accustomed note, and with normal conditions thus restored we resume our conversation."—New York Suu.

Her Invitation.

Pair Hostess—Now, Mr. Borem, you must spend one more evening with us before we go into our new house.

Mr. Borem (graciously)—Most certainly, with pleasure. When do yon move?

A HARROWING EXPERIENCE.

8tory of nrt Execution by Electricity Re-lat«-.l on an Elevated Train. They get on a crowded Sixth avenue elevated train at Fourteenth street, and every one looked at them because they were both young and both pretty. They talked together in audible tones, with all the enthusiasm of youth, and the other passengers listened to it all with great interest.

Suddenly one of them, the smaller one, turned to her cpnvpanion and wit a look of horror on lier faoe asked: "Ob, Win, did you ever see any one killed by electricity?" "Gracious, no!" exclaimed the other. "I should hope uot." "I did," laconically rejoined the othor. "Why, Florence, what do you mean?" demanded her companion. "Oh, it was terrible," replied Florence in all seriousness. "I never want to soo anything like it again." "How utterly ridiculous 1" remarked her friend. "Whom did you ever see killed by eleotricity?" "Why," replied Florence, au aggrieved expression coming over her face, "it was the other afternoon up in Harlem. I saw a cat run over by an electric car.''

The other passengers tried riot to smile, but it was too funny, considering that the girl meant every word she said. Neither girl noticed tho amusement of the other passengers, however, and Florence doecn't know yet of the amusement the passengers got out of her harrowing experience.—New York Sun.

Carlyle Corrected.

At a Royal academy dinner in Loudon some years ago several artists were expressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, wero among the guests. Airs. Annie C. Wilson tells the story of what followed "His glorious coloring is a fact a^out Titian," said one man, striking the table to give emphasis to the remark. "And his glorious drawing is another fact about Titian cried another artist.

And so they went 011 until Oarlyle, who had been listening in silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis: "Aud here I sit, a man made in the image of God, who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact about Titian."

Thackeray was sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed courteously to Carlyle. "Pardon me," he said "that appears to me to be not a fact about Titiau, but a fact, and a lamentable one. about Carlyle."

Mljht Have Known.

\ouug Wife—Hubby, dear, do you love me better than your pipe? \ouiig Husband—What a foolish Question to ask, dear!

Young Wife (sadly)—Yes. I might bave known without asking.—Detroit Free Press.

Prevarication.

Mother—You've been into that jam again? Truthful Sou—No'in, I haven't. I'll declare I haven't!

And lie chuckled at the thought that his mother had not accused him of putting the jam into him.—New York Herald.

A man who gets mad at what the newspapers say of him should return thanks three times daily for what they know about him, but don't say.—Carter County Bugle.

Sensibility would be a good fortress, if she had but one hand with her right she opens the dn)t to pleasure, but with her left to pain.—fJoltou.
