Pilots.

•The man at the •wheel” is the moat interesting person on board to the boy who is making a steamboat excursion; for while the motion of the ponderous machinery in the engine-room fascinates him, he barely glances at the quiet man who watches and controls it. The lives of all on board are at the mercy of the pilot, who holds, therefore,, one of the most responsible positions. All coasting steamers are commanded by men wlio have licenses as pilots for every harbor along their entire routes. But there is another class of pilots who make it a business to lie outside the harbor for which they are specially licensed, to watch for sailing vessels and steamships coming from a distance, or from foreign ports. Su. h a pilot, we must explain to our inland readers, takes entire charge of outgoing and incoming vessels, until they have passed the dangers surrounding the coast and harbors of our seas, lakes, and great tidal streams. The Captain of a ship surrenders its control wholly to the pilot while he is on board, on pain of forfeiture of the insurance on the vessel in case of disaster within that time. There is no craft, perhaps, in this country which is subject to niore rigid rules than this. The pilots, for example, of Delaware Bay have for a century been governed by certain inexorable customs, as binding as laws. Their business obliges them to be sober, intelligent, keen-sighted, and readywitted men. When not in charge of a vessel they are on large pilot-boats, which lie outside of the capes, sometimes siktv miles at sea, watching for vessels.

The pilots of New York Bay and of Boston Harbor go even farther out to sea, and are sometimes met with from one to two hundred. miles from the land. They are cruising about in the track of incoming steamers, and almost always appear in ample season to offer their services. But if no pilot homes, the ship lies outside the harbor and signals for one. The corps on the pilotboat have regular turns, and the pilot to whose lot this vessel falls is rowed out to her.

He is bound to answer the signal by day or by night, in sunshine or in the fiercest storm. Nothing but the absolute certainty that the boat cannot live in the sea running between him and the vessel will release him from his obligation. A boy who wishes to learn this business must serve an apprenticeship. For Philadelphia pilots the term of apprenticeship is six years, during which time the young man lives on the pilot-boats, studying the channels, soundings and dangers. Then, after a year and a half of partial responsibility, he becomes a pilot.— Youth’s Companion.

The Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter on “Laffture.”

Ter lass or not ter lass, dat’s de queshun. Dar ar times when hitS mighty inconvenient ter lass bery loud; fer instance, when dars plummers in de cellar and yer wife am bizzy cleanin’ house. De happiest fokes am dose what don’t try ter be happy. Happiness ain’t got no reglar postorifice address. Hit am mighty close at hand, like de ole woman’s specs, what she hunted forallober de house while dev was hanging on her nose. Some folks seems ter be happy when dey am in up ter dar necks in misery, jess as de shiny dress boot often kivers a silent corn what stingeth like a sarpent and biteth like an adder. Dars some folks what can’t lass. Es a young pusson has burnt all the har offen her forehead with a hot lead pencil, but can’t afford to buy a row ob curls ter kiver de burnt destricts, she ain’t gwinter lass ter hurt. De ooman ob fashin who, while bathin’ in de surf, loses her false tees, ain’t gwinter bust out inter a haw-haw. De boy what had entertained de angel cucumbers onawares, he don’t smile much. Es he does he don’t mean it. We should nebber borrer trubble, bekase dars so many folks who am anxious to gib us all de trubble we kin handle. Nebber borrer what folks am willin’ ter gib yer. De laster ob some folks lacks seberal inches ob bein’ a yard wide. I knowed ob a case whar a man luff his property ter de man what laffed de mos at de obsequious. His ole granfadder got away wid all de property by fillin’ hisses full er laffin’ gas. De smile ob some folks don’t las long. Hits like a ray ob sunshine on an iseburg. On de udder hand, after a young lady has met a handsome young man wid whom she am erquainted,, de smile hangs on her face for more den half an hour. —Texas Siftings.

The Fate of Professional Beauties.

Mrs*. Langtry, before she disappeared from English soeiety, had seen many other ladies raised by royal favor to the now extinct position of “professional beauty.” There is hardly one of these ladies whose fate is not worthy of commiseration and iwhose confessions would not be valuable. Their reigns terminated in various ways. One offended by observing that a certain waist was' not as thin as formerly; another, that a certain head of hair was not as thick as of yore; a third, in a festive moment, poured a teaspoonful of ice-cream down a royal shirt-collar; a fourth falsely and wickedly stated to' her friends that a certain bracelet was a royal gift, "Whereas in truth and in fact it was bought out of the hard earnings of her husband’s brain. The position of reigning favorite involved untold expenses, for to know the Prince involved knowing his set, who were numerous and thirsty, and for whose accommodation in a house often of the tiniest the friends of a lifetime had perforce to be discarded. Fulsome was the adulation poured upon the beauty during her brief reign, and cruel were the slights and snubs put upon her when it ended,[and when nothing remained to remind her of it but shattered health, an alienated husband, and an infuriated father-in-law. In such circumstances there is nothing for lovely woman to do but to go and winter on the Riviera. The future of such a fallen star js dark indeed, unless, of course, her husband can secure elec-

tion as a member of Parliament, when she can get back into society by another door.— Pall Mall Budget.

“Decolloty.”

Low-necked dresses are conducive to both pneumonia and to immodesty. An old man—the merchant of his native village—who had visited Washington for the first time, went home both sadder and wiser. As ho had large influence in country in which he lived the wife of the Representative in Congress from his district sent the old country merchant’s daughter an invitation to’spend several weeks with her in Washington. The old man read the letter and handed it to his wife. After sitting a few moments in thought he turned to her and said:- » “Do you know what a decolloty dress is?” “I’m not sure that I do, Isaac; but I reckon it’s a material something like silk?” “No, yer off there: ‘Decolloty’means no waist to speak.of,” “What? A dress without a waist?” “Yes, and there’s plenty of ’em in Washington. You see wimmen there standing half-clad, in cold, draughty parlors, shaking hands with a passel of unprincipled dandies that go off and make fun of ’em! No hospitality, no dress-waists, no sense, no nothin’; but there tbfey stand, grinnin’—grinnin’— and shaking somebody or other’s hand. They go and go to these receptions till they drop dead of pneumonia! and then some other ridiculous people take their place and shake hands and grin and go half-clad.” “Do you want our Lucy to do that way ? I’m sure you don’t any more than I do, and no more would Tom Bowles thet she means ter marry. I tell ye, Sary, them decolloty dresses is the cause of much domestic trouble and frequent lung diffikilty!” — Youths’ Companion. I

Gussie Was So Superstitious.

“You know,” she said, “that pa couldn’t bear Gussie. He said that Gus was really no good whatever; that he wouldn’t work, and didn’t know anything beyond cigarettes. Pa was just awfully down on him, and the last time Gus came to see me pa heard him iu the parlor and came out with a rush, and before Gus could get down the front steps pa kicked him real hard three times with his left foot. Pa has been lame ever since, and I don’t care if he is. I know Gus felt real hurt about it. He said no man ever kicked him with his left foot before, and that it was real bad luck. I’ve tried a hundred times to get him to come and see me again, but he won’t.” “Why not?” “Ob, he is so superstitious.”—Washington liepuilic.

Pickaninny Abe and Picaninny Jeff.

An old colored woman stood at the station waiting for the Jacksonville train. Beside her stood two little pickaninnies with faces as black as the inside of a stove-pipe. When the old mammy’s train arrived she exclaimed: “Kress de Lor’!” and then, looking down at her children, remarked: “Here, you Abraham Lincoln, take hold of Jeff Davis’hand and come along here, quick!” And the namesakes of the two great statesmen of the war joined hands and walked away together as though their names had not expressed such a dissimilarity of purpose. —Palatka (Fla.) Herald.

He Wondered Why They Smiled.

“Yes, my hands are soft,” said a dudish and conceited young fellow in a small company, as he admiringly looked at those useless appendages that had never done a day’s work. “Do you know how I do it?” be exclaimed, proudly; “I wear gloves on my hands every night to sleep in.” “Do you sleep with your hat on also ?” asked a pert young woman. And the young fellow replied in the negative, and looked wonderingly because the company smiled.

Common Sense vs. Education.

“It is common sense and hot education that makes a woman,” said an old man, mournfully. “I spent a little fortune educating my daughter, and when her education was completed she went off and married a dude who died of blood poisoning caused by sucking the head of his cane.” —Boston Courier.

Agony Is Courted

By persons who, attacked by a mild fonft ot rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt relief., Subsequent torture is prevented by an immediate resort to llostetter’F Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an occasional draught, will beget this painful malady, whore there is a preii»l>osition to it in the blood. It is not difficult to anest the trouble at the outset, but well nig-, impossible to eradicate it when matured. Ko evidence in relation to this superb blood depurent is more positive than that which establishes its efficacy as a preventive and remedy for rheumatism. Mot only is it thorough, but safe, which the vegetable and mineral poisons, often taken as curatives of the disease, are not. Besides expelling the rheumatic virus from the system. It overcomes fever and ague, biliousness, constipation, and dyspepsia.

Old-Time Weather Signs.

If cats lick their bodies and trash their faces it will rain. If water-fowl scream more than usual and plunge into the water expect rain. If sea-birds fly toward land and landbirds toward The sea there will be rain. If there are no falling-stars to be seen on a bright summer’s evening you may look for tine weather. If horses stretch out their necks and sniff the air and assemble in the corner of a tield with their heads to leeward, rain. If the smoke from chimneys blows down, or if soot takes fire more readily than usual or falls down the chimney into the grate, expect rain. 1 f old and rheumatic people complain of their corns and joints and limbs once broken at thd place of their union, there will be foul or wet weather. If many gnats are seen in spring expect a fine autumn; if gnats fly in compact bodies in the beams of the setting sun there will be fine weather. If ditches and drains smell stronger than usual expect rain; and when tobacco smoke seems denser and-iflore powerful expect wet weather. If spiders, in spinning their webs, make the terminating filaments long, we may, in proportion to their length, conclude that the weather will be serene and continue so for ten or twelve days.

From Boston.

One of the most eminent physicians in Boston gives his opinion that the exte'nt of the Moxie Nerve Food plant, now no rapidly substituting stimulants atid recovering the nervouh women, will probably become one of the great trade staples of the country, because its place canuot le filled. Most of the dealers so consider it uow, and even the grocers deliver it to their customers as they do eatables. When we consider it has been on the market but fourteen months, and that it can now be found in almost any part of tho country, and that the company are selling it at tho rate of 7,21X.i,000 bottles per year, it must have a most marvelous power over the people.

Fact and Phrase-Twisting.

One evening I was walking in the lobby of a Boston theater with Dr, A. 'it was the first night of a new play, and Dr. A. was expressing his contempt of the work in no measured terms when the author of the piece came toward us. “Well,” he asked, with bright abruptness, “how do you like my play?” “My dear fellow,” Dr. A. answered without a instant’s hesitation, “if I had written that play I should be so proud of it there would bo no living with me.” I dragged Dr. A. along before the gratified author had ceased to beam with satisfaction over his compliment^ “I only told him the truth, ” he said tome; “if 1 had been fool enough to write that stuff I should be fool enough to be unspeakably proud of it. ”—Boston letter in Providence Journal, m Gen’l Samuel I. Given, ex-Chief of Police, Philadelphia, Pa., writes: ‘‘Years ago I was permanently cured by St. Jacobs Oil. I have had no occasion to use it since. My family keep it on hand. Its healing qualities are wonderful.” Sold by druggists and dealers everywhere.*

Saving Medicine.

It is a bad custom, when physicians’ prescriptions are discontinued by a patient, to stow away the remnants in vials apd boxes. Preparations carefully compounded for special cases and conditions may become absolutely injurious by lapse of time, and under certain circumstances some articles change their character by being kept in small quantities. There are a few simple preparations which may be kept in the house, though even of these the fewer kept the better. But, of all things injurious, among the most so is the giving to one person, without medical advice, the medicine prescribed for another. It would seem in some families that the members consider themselves as residuary legatees, entitled to appropriate all the remainders of the doses prescribed for a relative by a physician after his visits are discontinued.— Philadelphia Ledger. * The proprietor of the Plain Dealer, Fort Madison, lowa, Mr. J. H. Duffus, write*: “Two years ago I was cured of rheumatism in my knee by St. Jacobs Oil; have had no return; two applications did the work.”

Rather Far Fetched.

“Papa,” said a young miss, “I wish I had a seal skin sacque.” “I wish,” replied her father, “that I could afford to buy you one, but they are so dear at present.” “Are they dear?” asked the little one. “.Yes, my daughter, they are very dear.” ' ..... “What them so dear, papa?” “I guess it is because they are so fur, my child.”— Pretzel's^Wet kly.

A Give-Away.

“Have any of you children been at this cake ? Have you, Tommy ?" “No, sir.” “Have you, Johnny?” “No, sir.” “Have you, Willie?” “No, sir.” “Have you, Sarah?” Sarah—“Pa, didn't you tell us the other day that at the supper table that little children should be seen but not heard?”— Texas Siftings.

LIVER, BLOOD AND LUNG DISEASES.

Mrs. Mart A. McClurb, Columbus, Kane., I IVFR IIKPAQF writes: “I addressed you in November, 1884, Ulbn UlOuttOL in re g ar( j to my health, being afflicted with tMn liver disease, heart trouble, and female weak"J ,u ness. I was advised to use Dr. Pierce’s HEARTSRffiIRI F Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Preficani I.nuUDLL. and Pellets. I used one bottle of the ‘Prescription,’ five of the ‘Discovery,’ and four of the ‘ Pleasant Purgative Pellets.’ My health began to improve under the use of your medicine, and my strength came back. My difficulties have ail disappeared. 1 can work hard all day, or walk four or five miles a day, and stand it well; and when I began using the medicine 1 could scarcely walk across the room, most of tho time, and I did not think I could ever feel well again. I have a little baby girl eight months old. Although she Is a little delicate in size and appearance, she is healthy. I give your remedies all the credit for curing me, as I took no other treatment after beginning their use. I am very grateful for your kindness, and thank God and thank you that I am as well as I am after years of suffering." I—Mrs. I. Y. Webber, of Yorkshire, Cattaraugus Co., I hirn «■ Fi, writes: “ I wish to say a few words in praise Llftn of >’ our ‘Golden Medical Discovery ’ and ‘Pleasant _ Purgative Pellets.’ For five years previous to DISEASE taking them I was a great sufferer; I had a uiuuiuL, severe pain in my right aide continually: waS unable to do my own work. I am happy to say I am now well and strong, thanks to your medicines. n Chronic Diarrhea Cared.— D. Lazar re. Esq., *75 and *77 Decatur Street, New Orleans, La., writes: “I used three bottles of the * Golden Medical Discovery,’ and It has cured me of chronic diarrhea. My bowels are now regular.”

“THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE.” ’ Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which Is the fountain of health, by using Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, and bodily health and vigor will be established. Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the common pimple, blotch, or eruption, to the worst Scrofula, or bloodpoison. Especially has it proven its efficacy in curing Salt-rheum or Tetter, Fever-sores, Hip-Joint Disease. Scrofulous Sore* and Swellings, Enlarged Glands, and Eating Ulcers.

I Rev. F. Asburt Howell, Pastor of the if. E. Indigestion church, °y summon, n. j„ says: *1 was &t----muißL«iivs flicted with catarrh and indigestion. Boils and blotches began to arise on the surface of the vwibvf skin, and I experienced a tired feeling and Hi MT.HFS dullness. I began tbe use of Dr. Pierce’s IfUHIHILO. Golden Medical Discovery as directed bv 1 — him for such complaints, and irf one week's time I began to feel like a new man, and am now sound and well. The/ Pleasant Purgative Pellets ’ are the best remedy for bilious or Blok headache, or tightness about the chest, and bad taste in the mouth, that I have ever used. My wife could not walk across the floor when she began to take your 1 Golden Medical Discovery.* Now she can walk quite a little ways, and do some light work.” Mrs. Ida M.

CONSUMPTION, WEAK LUNGS, SPITTING OF BLOOD. Golden Medical Discovert cures Consumption (which is Scrofula of the Lungs), by its wonderful blood-purifying, invigorating and nutritive properties. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath. Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. While it promptly cures the severNt Coughs it strengthens the system and purifies the blood. . v-: ' It rapidly builds tip the system, and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below Hie usual standard of health by wasting diseases. ,

Consumption.— Mrs. Edward Newton, of Barrowmith. Ont., writes: “ You will ever be praised by me for the remarkable cure in my case. I was so reduced that my friends bad all given me up. aad I had also been given up by two doctors. I then went to the best doctor in these parts. He told mo that medicine was only a punishment in my case, and would not undertake to ■■smhwb treat me. He said I might try Cod liver oil If X Qiuru lln ilkod - as that was the only thing'that could poesiQllbN UP bly have any curative power over consumption so „ far advanced. I tried the Cod liver oil as a last Tu lilt treatment, but I was so weak I oouid not keep it on my stomach. My husband, not feeling satisfied to give me up yet, though he had bought for me everything he sriw advertised for my complaint, procured a quantity of your * Golden Medical Discovery.’ I took only four bottles, ana, to the surprise of everybody, am to-day doing my own work, and am entirely free from that terrible cough which harraased me night and day. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for a number pf and- now feel so much better that I believe, with a continuation of your’Golden Medical Discovery,’l will be restored to perfect health. I would say'to those who are falling a prey to toat terrible disease consumption, do not do as I did, take everything eke first; but take the ‘Golden Medical Discovery* in the early stages of the disease, and thereby save a great deal of suffering and be restored to health at once.
