We are prudes all—American, British, Canadian, Australian, Indian, East or West, wherever-the English tongue is spoken—potatoes, prunes, and prism are our watchwords. We must not call a spade a spade, but a silver spoon. We mnst not say “we are going to bed,” but “we are about to retire.” We must not say “take off our clothes,” but “disrobe,” 'Like the girl at Macy’s, corner of Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue, we cannot venture to assert that we have eaten our fill, but that “we have had an elegant sufficiency.” The difference of sex may be alluded to only in periphrasis. The simplest terms in the lauguarge are to be avoided like the plague, because of some hidden meaning they have acquired among the low and depraved, and which the innocent and well-bred people should not be cognizant of. Pure women are popularly supposed by the great Anglo-Saxon race to be well informed of the slang current among thieves and their feminine associates, and to blush when they hear some perfectly innocent word or sentence, which may have been tortured into an evil significance at the corner of Bleecker and Mercer streets, New York, or in the Seven Dials, London. Hogues’ Latin is not a branch of female education, yet are our women supposed to be so familiar with argot as to extract the hidden vileness out of our ordinary speech, as a chemist distills poison from simples. In England one must not say “bug”—that is “positively shocking;” one must allude to those nocturnal wanderers as “pests” or “Norfolk-Howards.” In America one must not mention the male of the domestic fowl save as a “rooster,” ignoring the fact that hens must roost as well as their liege lords, or else go sleepless to an untimely grave, leaving the feathered husband a disconsolate widower. Prudes all, my masters —“out of the abundance of the heart the mcuth speaketh.” A scarbrous mind will find congenial pruriency in the babble of an infant, while a free speech is the surest index of a guileless soul. Coarse phrases and vulgarity are, of course, to be shunned, even in the most familiar conversation; for no man can touch pitch and not be defiled. But to attribute evil to the common names and qualities of things bespeaks a mind conscious of evil, not of good. “To the pure all things are pure,” and the ascription of foul meaning to fair speech is simply an insult to the pure women who are supposed to be offended when no offense was meant. No matter in the whole book or volume of Heraldry isxnore to be regarded than th# of the English garter,/torn soil qui maly pense.—New York Mirror.

A Startling Medical Statement.

At a recent gathering of medical men in Philadelphia, Dr. W. S. Janney, late Coroner of that city, made the startling statement that “no healthy man or woman ever dies in this climate from cholera morbns.” He repeated the remark to the editor of the Medical and Surgical Reporter, saying that the records of the Coroner’s office would substantiate his words. ~He explained that by “healthy” Jie meant a person without organic diseases, and of average strength and vitality. “Such a person,” he said, “when dying with -symptoms of cholera morbus, always dies from poisoning (usually arsenic), and the case is one of suicide or homicide. ” Tho ex-Coroner first examined into these cases when a stout, healthy man of bis acquaintance died, after an illness of thirty-six hours, with symptoms of cholera morbus. He had been attended-by four reputable physicians, one of whom had signed the death certificate. Yet he instituted an investigation, and found enough arsenic in the deceased to kill a dozen men. He afterward met with five or six similar cases. Dr. Bartholow, in a conversation with the editor of the Reporter, said that he had not the least doubt of the correctness of Dr. Janney’s assertion. Another prominent physician stated his belief m these views, and referred the causes of such attempts to poison with arsenic to connubial uncongeniality.

Wanted Badly.

We are particularly anxious to find either of the following articles. We have searched in vain for them for years, and if any of our readers can aid ns we shall feel under considerable obligation: We want to see a pair of ladies’ shoes that are not “much too big. ” A good newspaper article that was not—struck off in a hurry.” A clown or end-man’s joke less than forty years old. A newspaper that is not the “best advertising medium in the country,” or one that has not the “largest circulation in the city.” Anything advertised three weeks before Christmas that is not “suitable for holiday presents.” A-didn’t-know-it-was-loaded gun that never killed anybody. A political Btump speaker that never abused the opposition candidates. The young lady that can pass a plate-glass window without turning her head just to see I how she looks. A politician that does not want office. A Congressman who keeps his promise. A newspaper man who refuses to drink. The man who abuses a good paper who doesn’t read it on the sly. The liberal advertising man who doesn’t make money, A defeated candidate who doesn’t complain of bribery and corruption. The cattle man who isn’t described in p5iP sonals as the cattle king. The local reporter who doesn’t think he “scoops” his. rival, and above all the man who doesn’t think he can run any paper, better than its editor. —Texas Figaro,

Spending a Five-Cent Piece.

A man will hold np his five-cent piece as majestically as though it were a sword when he pays his car fare. He will pull it ont of his pocket as though he considers it a diamond-studded Bnuff-box when he purchases a paper. But when it comes to spending it for its face value in peanuts the man looks as though he were transacting a miserably small and contemptible piece of business. He glances up and down the street to satisfy himself that he is not observed, and then slides up to the stand, holds his pocket open, and gazes about with dilated, bulging eyes while the peanuts are being poured in. in. Then ha hurries away as quickly as possible.— Annual

JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.

Widespread Commotion Caused by the Terrible Confession of a Physician. The story published in these columns recently, from die Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, created a deal of comment here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even more comnjotioa in Rochester, as the following from the Bame paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known, not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days ago, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Hemon at his residence on Andrews street, when the following interview occurred: “That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain ? ” “Every one of them and many additional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull pains, and my stomach was out of order; but I did not think it meant anything serious. The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I' have just mentioned, or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels, indicate the approach of kidney disease more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but tryfio help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to relieve the headache, pains about the body, or other symptoms, but' go directly to the kidneys, the source of most or these ailments. ” “This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it, Doctor?” “Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day, which ih reality are Bright’s disease in some of its many forma It is ft- hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which I see now were caused by Bright’s disease.” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly Opened in this matter, and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. ” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on North St Paul street, spoke very earnestly: “It is true that Bright’s disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’TO to ’SO, its growth was over 250 per Cent Look at the prominent men it has carried off, and is taking off every year: for while many are dying apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase has been checked, and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy. ” “Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it?” - “A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright’s disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy in dir cations I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,’ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed—his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; 7have Bright’s disease of the kidneys.’ And in less than a year he was dead The slightest indication of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, I have both read and heard of it” „ “It is very wonderful, is it not?” “No more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe, then, that Bright’s disease can be cured?” “I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends.” “You speak of your own experience; what was it?” “A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was Kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘There goes a man who will be dead within a year.’ I believe his words would have proved true if I had not providentially used the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “Did you mako a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor?” was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one of the analysts of the State Board of Health. “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?” “A serious disease of the kidneys.” “Did you think Mr. Warner could recover?” “No, sir. I did not think it possible.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” “I have chemically analyzed fit; and find it pure and harmless. Dr. Henion was cured five years ago, and is well and attending to his professional duties today, in this city. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner, and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question, and the statements they make cannot for a moment be doubted. Dr. Honion’s experience shows that Bright’s disease of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time.

Pre-Raphaelite.

Some <jf the greatest painters never went abroad. A study of the old mas-ters-is of value and assistance to aspiring young artists. Whatever the result may be, it will do no harm, and to some few it will be a revelation and a guide to great success. The student has a chance to mold a style of his own after he has become familiar with that of the old masters. Without a style the originality of a painter loses much of its force. The pre-Raphaelite painters always put in a picture what they thought ought to be there. For instance, in a perspective view, if a tree was actually indistinct and the leaves shaddWy and uncertain, the pre-Ea-phaelite put it in distinctly in every detail anyway. After Eaphael came the school of impressionists. Its members pursued the opposite plan and pttt in a pi ture what was actually seen. In other words, a fidelity to nature as instructed by the eyes. This is considered the true mo hod now, and will, in my opinion, continue to be until the end of time. • *

Quite a Difference.

“Say, mother, what is this I hear about Mark Twain and Cable going about the country lecturing? Is his cable like the cable used for running our street cars?” “No, dear; our street-car cables are run by steam. Mark Twain’s Cable Is run by wind."— Maverick. You can’t hire a man to be honest; he will want his wages raised every morning. • ,

Just for the Principle.

A man in Copiah County, Miss., came out of bis cotton-fi,eld one day at noon and turned his plow-mule in the yard and threw her a bundle of fodder and then entered the house to eat his own dinner. -A mangy, half-starved calf, that was grazing in the yard, wandered over to the miile and fodder and began eating. The mule backed her ears and heels find kicked the calf so severely that it fell to the ground and died. The children called to their father: “Oh, papa.! Old Bet’s done killed Billy.” The father immediately seized his gun and rushed out into the yard, and seeing what the mule had done, in his rage discharged both barrels of the gun at the mule, killing her almost instantly. A neighbor passing along about that time inquired: “Jones, don’t you think it mightry poor business to kill a liundred-dollar mule all about a two-dollar calf?” “Hundred-dollar mule! Thunder, it’s not a money matter with me. It is the principle of the thing.”— Detroit Free Press.

Intellectual Recreation.

Congressman Peel, it is well known, is not a man of very high literary attainments, but to appear well read he professes to have gloated over every piece of literature that comes under discussion. Judge Pittman, who is a highly intellectual and well-read man, takes keen delight in talking literature to Peel. Some time ago, when a party of gentlemen were sitting around listening to some of Peel’s experiences of Congress, Judge Pittman asked:- “Peel, you have read Tennyson, haven’t you? “Oh, yes, yes, and I like him very much.” “Do you like Goldsmith?” “Dote on him. ” “What do vou think of his poem, ‘Goldsmith’s Maid?’” “By George, sir, it is the best thing he ever wrote! I tell you what, Pittman, this going to Congress whets a man’s appetite for literature.” — Boston lra t eller.

Undigested Food

In the stomach develops on acid which stings the upper part of the throat and palate, causing “heartburn." It also evolves a gas which produces “wind on tho stomach," and a feeling and appearance of distention in that organ after eating. For both this acidity and swelling Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is a much better remedy than alkaline salts, like hartshorn and carbonate of soda. A wineglassful of the Bitters, after or before dinner, will be found to act as a reliable carminative- or preventive. -This fine specifio for dyspepsia, both in its acute and chronic form, also prevents and cures malarial fever, constipation, liver complaint, kidney troubles, nervousness, and debility. s Persons who observe in themselves a decline of vigor should use this fine tonio without delay.

Second Marriages.

“What a curious, questioning feeling people have about second marriages! And the feeling increases directly and with rapid intensity as marryings multiply. A Western widower was condoled with by his neighbor in this wise: ‘ I know what affliction means. lam living with my fifth wife.’ And the lone widower’s face lighted with a smile. A New England woman expressed her indignation because the Widow So-and-so was about to be married a third time. ‘But,’ said her friend, ‘if your house bums down, wouldn’t you build ano her?’ ‘Maybe I should,’ was the reply, ‘but if I’d been burned out twice, I should think ’twas time to go boarding.’ ”

A Convincing Argument.

“No, sir, I don’t believe you know what gratitude is!” he exclaimed, as he waved his arms around. “No, sir! I lent you $lO, and you not only refuse to pay it back, but you go around and slander me!” “All I said was that you were a mean man. ” “out isn’t that slaander ?” “No, sir; it isn’t. When I wanted to borrow $5 more you wouldn’t let me have it!”— Detroit Free Tress.
