Samuel Johnson.

It id 100 years ago since Dr. Johnson ■wrote his last letter to Lucy Porter, in which he announced to her that he was very ill, and that he desired her prayers. Less than a fortnight latter, on the 13th of Deoember, 1784, he died. All through the year his -condition had, given his friends more than anxiety. The winter of 1783 had been marked by collapse of the constitution; to the ceaseless misery of his skin was now added an asthma that would not suffer him to recline in bed, a dropsy that made his legs and feet useless through half of the weary day. It is somewhat marvelous that he got through this terrible winter, the sufferings of which are painfully recorded in his sad correspondence. It is difficult to.understand why, just when he wanted companionship most, his friends seem all to have happened to desert him. Of the quaint group of invalids in mind and body, to whom his hduse had been a hospital, all were gone except Mrs. Desmoulins, who was bedridden; and we may believe that their wrangling company had never been so distasteful to himself as to his friends. Boswell and Mrs. Thrale, as we know, had more or less valid reasons for absence, and Boswell, at least, was solicitous in inquiry. We must, however, from whatever cause, think of Johnson, who dreaded solitude, as now almost always alone, mortified by spiritual pains no less acute than his physical ones, torfeuring his wretched nights with Baxter’s “Call to the Unconverted,” and with laborious and repeated diagnosis of his own bodily symptoms. It is strange to think that although he was the leading man of letters in England, and the center of a whole society, his absence from the meetings of his associates seems scarcely to have been noticed. It was not until in February, when he was relieved, that lie allowed himself to speak of the danger he had passed through. Then he confessed his terror to Lucy Porter, in the famous words, “Pray for me; death, my dear, is very dreadful; let us think nothing worth our care but how to prepare for it, ” and asked Boswell to consult the venerable physician, Sir Alexander Dick, as to the best way of avoiding a relapse. Boswell felt it a duty to apply not to Dick only but to various leading doctors. In doing so he reminded them, with his extraordinary foppishness, of “the elegant compliment” which Johnson had paid to their profession in his “Life of Garth,” the poet-physician. The doctors with one accord, and thinking without doubt far more of Johnson himself than of Garth, clustered around him with their advice and their prescriptions, and the great man certainly received for the brief remainder of his days such alleviation as syrup of poppies and vinegar of squills could give him. Mrs. Boswell, encouraged by a more favorable account of his health, invited him down to Auchinlech in March. He could not venture to accept, but he was pleased to be asked, and recovered so much of his wonted fire as to fancy, in a freak of strange inconsistency, that he would amuse himself by decorating his London study with the heads of “the fathers of Scottish literature. ” To Langton,' who—as Johnson justly thought, with unaccountable “circumduction” had made inquiries about his old friend . through Lord Portmore, he expressed a hope of panting on to ninety, and said that “God, who has so wonderfully restored me, can preserve me in all seasons. ” It is very pathetic to follow the old man through the desolate and wearisome months; nor can we easily understand, from any of the records we possess, why he was allowed to be so much alone. On Easter Monday, after recording without petulance that his great hope or being able to go out on the preceding day had been doomed to disappointment, he goes on to say, “I want every comfort. My life is very solitary and very cheerless. * * * I am very weak, and have not passed the door since the 13th of December.”— The Fortnightly Review.

The Peanut.

A scientific journal having recently said that the manufacture of oil from peanuts was destined to draw on the crop to such an extent that the nuts would beoome a scarce article of trade as a food nut in the near future, a reporter asked a wholesale dealer in pea - nuts for further information on the subject. “There isn’t a pint of peanuts made into oil in this country that 1 know of,' and never will be as long as the greasy cotton-seed holds out,” he said. “Before they began to make cotton-seed oil peanuts were used largely ip manufacturing an oil that was used in place of olive oil, and during the war a great deal of the illuminating and lubricating oil used in the South was made from peanuts, and the entire crop was used for that purpose. The making of peanut oil was a very extensive industry in France for many years before the introduction of cotton-seed oil, and in those days at least fiO per cent, of the oil imported by us as olive oil was either pure oil of peanut or olive oil adulterated with peanut oil. France makes considerable peanut oil yet. and America is the chief buyer of this product, and wa eat it as well as our cotton-seed oil, when we eat oil at all, in nine-tenths of the restaurants and hotels, and imagine it is the genuine olive grease. The nut now chiefly used in France for oilmaking is the African gropnd-uut, which all through tropical Africa is largely, raised and used, cooked or raw, as food. It is exported in large quantities to France from Guinea and Angola. It is richer in'oil by one-third than the peanut, and is put on the Marseilles market cheaper by half than the American nut can be sold there. The peanut-lover need have no fear for the future of the popular shell fruit.”— New York Sun.

Rest for Growing Children.

It is often found in growing children that the appetite fails, the tongue and breath become foul, extreme languor and lassitude of limb, headache with caprice of mind supervene, when no improper diet of damp or bad air can be accused of producing the symptom*. The real cause will be found in the fact of growth. The efforts of the nerygs, ;both animil and organic, to carry on this process, not of maintenance only, - •* •

1 ___ but of addition to the body, and especially the efforts of the* digestive nerves to supply the necessary material for growth, prove every now and then to be more than they can make without falling into a state of irritation; and such irritation 'fe exhibited in the two nervous centers, the brain and stomach. That this is the explanation of such attacks I have proved a hundred times.— Dr. (fully , in Herald of Health.

The Old Boys.

I often worider if the young men of this day enjoy thejnselves as much as we old folks used to when we were their age. I sometimes think they do Cot, because they pay more attention ) their dress than their pleasures, and they seem to take their vices in coarser draughts than their predecessors in the flowery paths of youth and riot. But this may be only the bilious view of a disgruntled philosopher who regrets that the wine has lost the sparkle of twenty years ' ago, though the brand may not have changed, and one night’s indulgence in the delights of the table is followed by a week’s active palpitation of the liver. Positively one every-day young man i 3 a repetition of the other. They are as much alike as Chinamen. It is difficult to tell them apart unless one fellow has a cast in his eye, a limp, or has a broken nose. To me they look as if the same tailor made their clothes, the same bootmaker their boots, and their hair and mustaches were trimmed by the same barber. Their mannerisms have been acquired in the same school, and their slang studied from the same book. They tire me because lam old, and I detest a young fellow who cannot be. original in something—his vices, even, if nothing else be left him. The old crowd, the crop of gay boys that flourished twenty years ago, were more independent. If one fellow appeared with long hair, liis friend would have his own cut short. If (me invented and acquired an odd expression, oath, or otherwise, his right to it was respected. Nobody trespassed upon his preserves, nobody borrowed his property. , His method of lighting a cigar, or lifting his hat, or wearing his necktie was never copied by a friend. Indeed, the man who could not cut his own swathe, who had not brains enough to devise a peculiarity, was barred from our circle. —The Ingleside.

What Man Is Made Of.

Chemistry has demonstrated that man, this very highest specimen of the animal kingdom, is really formed of condensed air, or solidified and liquefied gases; that he lives on condensed air as well as uncondensed air, and, by means of the same agent, moves the heaviest weights with the velocity of the wind. The strangest part of the matter is, however, that thousands of these beings formed of condensed air, and goiDg on two legs, occasionally, and on account of the production and supply of condensed air which they require for food and clothing, or on account of their honor and power, destroy each other by means of pitched battles in condensed air, and, further, that many peculiar powers of the bodiless, conversing, thinking, and sensitive being, housed in this tabernacle of condensed air and moisture, are the resimply, of its internal structure and the arrangement of its particles or at ms; while the science of chemistry supplies the clearest proof that, so far as concerns this, the ultimate and most minute composition, as well as structure, which is beyond the reach of our senses and power of science to determine, man is to all appearance identical with the ox, sheep, bird, or fish.

Happy Married Folks.

Married people would be happier if they tried to b, a as * agreeable as in courtship days; if each would try and be a real support and comfort to the other; if household expenses were always proportioned to receipts; if each remembered the other was practically a human being, not an angel; if women were as kind to their husbands as they are to their lovers; if men were as tboughtful for their wives as they were for them when sweethearts; if both parties remembered that they were married for worse as well as for better; if there were fewer silk and velvet street costumes and more plain, tidy house dresses and street ones, too, for that matter; if there were fewer “please, darlings,” in public and more common manners in private; if wives and husbands would take their pleasure as they go al6ng, and not degenerate iifto mere toiling machines.

Poison from Crepe Veils.

The long, thick crepe veil is very injurious to the complexion. The rough crepe rubs the skin off and the poisonous matter is taken into the circulation in that way, as well as carried into the lungs in breathing. Such a veil worn for two consecutive years seldom fails to produce evjl results. Similar goods about the neck, and black silk and black cotton goods also produce bad effects. Paris has a feather dyers’ disease, produced from the dye in which the black feathers are dipped.

Johnnie’s Idea.

“Mamma, will my shoes so to heaven?” “Why, no, Johnny; what put such a ridiculous thought into your head?” “Oh, nothing; only you said last night that everything that has a soul goes to heaven if they are good, and my shoes have soles, and tliey are good I” When Johnnie’s ma got through with him he thonght her slipper also had a good sole.— Washington Hatchet.

Worse than Firearms.

The editor of an Omaha paper, in commenting on several cases in that city where, children died from the effects of taking congh syrup containing morphia, remarks that opiates, poisons, and narcotics are more dangerous than firearms. Mothers should note this, and, furthermore, that different Boards of Health, after making carefnl analyses, have certified that the only purely vegetable preparation of this kind, and one that is in every way harmless, prompt, and effective, is Red Star Cough Cure. Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore, and the Commissioner of Health have publicly indorsed this valuable discovery. v In India a husband can ent his wife’s ears off if he thinks proper. But he cannot touch her tongue.

A HELPLESS MAN HELPED.

At Greencastle, Ind„ an hour’s ride from Indianapolis, lives Mr. D. L. Southard, a •gentleman well known throughout Indiana. Among other honorable positions which)he holds is that of Trustee of the Do Paqw Universitiy. Mr. Southard is a brother-in-law of Bishop Bowman, or the Methodist Episcopal Church. > For many years Mr- Southard was a martyr to rheumatism in its most afflictive form. Up to Jiily, ISB3, he was nearly helpless, and could move only with groat pain. At that time Bishop Bowman, having shen how greatly the Rev. Mr. Keely, of Indianapolis, jbad been relieved by the uew remedy, Athlophcros, brought Mr. Southard a bottle of that medicine, and advised him to try it. Mr. Southard's experience, resulting from his trial of Athlophoros, was thus stated at a recent interview. Bishop Bowman happened to be visiting Mr. Southard at the time, and the exchange of ideas and opinions as to rheumatism and the radical remedy for it, was free and pleasant. Said Mr. Southard: “I had for years been suffering with rheumatic pains. My arms and legs were swollen, and the pain was sharp and constant. I was unable to dress myself, or even to put on my stockings. My wife had to lift me and turn me in bed. Bishop Bowman brought mo a bottle of Athlo'phoros. I hardly dared to hope for any benefft from it, for I had taken so many medieines. “ I began to take the Athlophoros first as directed. At that time I was Buffering lrightful pain. In a few hours there was a remarkable change. I broke out into a profuse perspiration, and had a strange feeling of relief. In a few hours niore all my pain was'gone. I could stretch my legs and move my joints as I had not been able to <%> for a long time. It seemed wonderful, after all my experience, that any medicine could have such effects. I feared that this was of such power that it wouid go to my vital parts and end my life. Knowing not what might be the result, I quietly prepared myself for the final change and calmly awaited it. But, instead of putting an end- to me the Athlophoros only put an end to the pain. What a new and delightful experience it was o be without pain! i . > “I gave a letter to the Athlophoros concern, which was published. It brought me a great many inquiries by mail from various parts of the country. I wish I could show you some of those letters, but I was clearing out my desk the other day, and I destroyed the whole pile of them. One was from a man in Winchester, Ind., whose wife was suffering agony. I directed him where to get the medicine and it soon made her well. The wife of Prof. Goblin, of the University, was suffering with rheumatism, and Athlophoros cured her, as well as a good many others. “At times I would have return of my rheumatism, but nothing like that J formerly had. Each attack was lighter. Each time I fought it with Athlophoros, and got the better of it. Now 1 have for a year enjoyed good health and freedom from pains. I took in all ten or twelve bottles of the medicine, and if I were again to be attacked by rheumatism would take more.” Bishop Bowman, on being asked “was the relief which Mr. Southard experienced more than you had expected?” replied: “Certainly it was, for I had not expected anything. I brought him the Athlophoros because I had seen that it had done so much good to Mr. Keely and others in Indianapolis. It seemed a last resort, for Mr. Southard’s case was such a severe one thatJ had little or no hope of even giving him relief. But seeing tho completeness of his cure 1 have recommended the medicine to others. I have had no occasion to use it myself, for I have not had rheumatism and am in excellent health. Of all those to whom I have recommended it I have heard of only one Instance in which decided benefit was not gained. I consider Athlophoros a wonderful medicine.” If you cannot get Athlophobcs of your druggist, we will send it express paid on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us as directed. Atillophohob Co., 112 Wall Street, New York.

Cat-Skinning as a Trade.

Last year over 1,500,000 cats were killed for their skins, which have become valuable as fur lining. The industry of cat-skin collecting as an industry is of very recent growth. If within so short a space of time the casual destruction, for their hides, of a few stray cats has assumed the respectable dimensions of a solid traffic, estimated in round numbers at hundreds of thousands of skins, what will it be a decade hence ? About the superiority of cat skills, in one way or another, over those of rat, rabbit, or squirrel, there is no question. The cost of production, too, can not be called excessive, seeing that each skin is stolen, and the whole original outlay is one stout stick for dispatching puss and a sack to carry her home ki, while the total working expenses are the wear and tear of shoe leather in tramping the streets for prey, and a very casual $2 penalty for such as are detected in the act. How, under such a combination of favoring circumstances, can the industry do anything but thrive?— Liverpool Courier.

Alternately Shaken and Scorched

By the paroxysms of chills and fever, the wretched sufferer for whom quinine has been prescribed, essays in vain to exterminate the dreadful disease with that hurtful palliative, which at best only mitigates the violence of the fits, and eventually proves highly injurious to the system. In order to effect a thorough cure of malarial fever, whether intermittent or remittent, or to render the system impregnable to its attacks, Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters should Be used daily. That this medicine is a searching eradicant of diseases generated by miasma, and a reliable safeguard against them, is a fact so widely recognized in this and other countries that to adduce evidence in support of It is unnecessary; but were it either essential or desirable to do so, it may well be supposed that from the testimony corroborative of its claims, which has been accumulating during the last twenty-five years and over, snfflcieiit proofs might be gathered to convince the most inveterate skeptic.

Self-Respect.

John Balkney has great respect for himself. Several days ago a man called him a liar. “o,<l won’t resent it,” said Jqhn, “I’ve got too much respect for myself.” The man knocked him down. “That’s all right,” said John, arising. “I’ve got too much self-respect to fight. If I didn’t think anything of myßelf, you’d hear from me. ” The man kicked him. “Keep on,” said John. “Ah! selfrespect does control a man’s temper.” “Have a drink!” exclamed the man.’ “11l jine yon,” replied John. “O, I see you are begining to have some respect for yourself. No, sir, nothing like self-respect. Well, here’s hopin’.” —Axkansaw Traveler.

She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent interning case: “A young married lady came to me suffering with a severe csso of Prolapsus and Viceration. She commenced taking the (ompound, and in two months was Ju’Jp restored, in proof of this she soon found herself in an interesting cond t on. Iniiuenocd by foolish friendp, she attempted to evade tho responsibilities of maternity. .Alter ten or twelvo days she camo to me again, and she was Indeed in a , most alarming state and suffered terribly. I gave bor a tablespoonful of the compound every hour for eight hours until she fell asleep; she awoke much relieved andrvidently better. She continued t« king the Compound, and in due season sho became the mother of a flno healthy boy. But for tho timely use of the medicine she believes her life would have been lost.”

A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE. It yon are suffering from general debility, nervous prostration, sinking spells, etc., superinduced by impure blood, weak kidneys and liver, etc., do not resort to alooholic compounds, nor use remedies that cause too great activity of the parts affected. It Is far more wise to use a mild alterative Ike Dr. Cuysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. This remedy contains nothing , injurious to the most, delicate constitution, and its use gradually builds up and strengthens, while dlnretlc and cathartic compounds tear down, wear ont and destroy. Dr. Ouy noil’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla restores impaired or lost organic functions to their normal condition, and it invariably gives satisfaction to all who use it. Do not forget that any druggist wQt procure the remedy for you, especially when they find you will not be persuaded to try some other preparation on which they make more money. You will find its effect most wonderful. Ycur old energy will return, your natural force come back, and you will feel altogether a new person, full of health, strength ; r and vigor. Former invalids speak highly of the preparation, and all acknowledge it a perfect health restorer, especially in diseases of a debilitating nature having a tendency to poison and thin the blood, thereby weakening the urinary and digestive organs, and exhausting the brain and nervous system. fiSTWom out and enfeebled constitutions, suffering from dyspepsia, impure blood, weak kidneys, nervousness, etc. , can be cared by using this remedy. Take no other. WRURAL HOMES. I UNPARALLELED [OFFER? $2,00 for only 60 Cents. TN ORDER TO INCREASE OCR CIRCULATION A- to 50,000 at once, we make this great oilier.
