OLD TIME NEW YORK.

Vhe City a« Pictured by Jedldlah Morse In 1802, £ I "The city of New York is inhabited , “principally by merchants, physicians, lawyers, mechanics, shopkeepers and composed of almost all nations and religions. They are generally in their several professions sand sustain the reputation of honest, [punctual. fair dealers.” In such wise the affairs of New York «dty were summed up by Jedldlah Horse, D. D., in 18CtJ. The quotations sane from Mr. Morse’s “Geography Hade Easy,” published in December, 31802, a few copies of which remarkable book have come down in time yellowed pages to the third and fourth generations of them that studied the 1 .fresh issues. -Mr. Morse fouud still discernible among the Inhabitants of his New York “the neatness, parsimony and in-' xlustry" of the early Dutch settlers, and he had courage to believe that these qualities “will probably continue .Visible for many years to come.” When geography was being made easy, In 1802, New York was the capital of the state and Albany and Hudson were the only other incorporated cities. ■'‘The principal part of che city (New .York),” wrote Mr. Morse, “lies on the cast Side of the island, although the buildings extend from one river to the *>Lher. The length of the city on East Giver is about two miles, but falls lunch short of that distance on the ibanks of the Hudson. The houses are generally built of brick and the roofs Ailed.” I •The geography notes that New York “"Is esteemed the most eligible situation for commerce in the United States.” 'Moreover, “in point of sociability and hospitality New York is hardly exceeded by any town in the United States. ■“On a general view of this city as described thirty years ago,” the geography goes on, “and in its present state 'the comparison is flattering to the present age, particularly the improvements taste, elegance of manners and that -easy, unaffected civility and politeness which form the happiness of social intercourse.” There were sixteen states In the Union when Mr. Morse wrote. He had ’kind words for these and for ths known countries of the world at large. Before concluding his work with a Chronological table extending from the creation to bis own date he indulged in a gentle prophecy thus as to the growth of the republic: “Admitting the population of the United States at present (1802) to be 5,000,000 and that this number by natural increase and by immigration will be doubled In twentj years and continue to increase in that ratio for a century to come, at that period (1902) there will be in United America 160,000.000 inhabitants, nearly 20,000,000 more than there are at present in all Europe.” We have fallen far from Mr. Morse’s expectation, even assuming that in "United America” he meant to include Canada. Yet was he an able and kindly geographer and not more sanguine than bis day.—New York World.

Two Watchful Hearers.

A certain pastor, according to the Minneapolis Journal, had In his congregation two men that troubled him by sleeping in church. At last he said to one of them: » “Brother Parker, did you ever notice that Brother Benjamin had fallen into the habit of sleeping during service?” Brother Parker had not noticed It, but he was pained at the information. “Well, might I ask you to sit beside bim next Sabbath and nudge him in case he falls asleep?” Brother Parker would most certainly do so. The clerical brother then seeks his esteemed co-worker, Brother Benjamin. “Brother Benjamin, have you noted Brother Parker’s habit of sleeping during the sermon?” Brother Benjamin had noticed it and had been pained. “Well, would you do me the favor of sitting beside Brother Parker nt ;t and nudging him in the case of drowsiness ?” Most certainly Brother Benjamin •would do so. The spectacle of the two good men keeping tab on each other in the sanctuary next Sabbath nearly upset the dignity of our clerical friend during his ministrations.

The Ancient Calendar.

In times past tbe Jewish year had two commencements. The religious yenr began with the month of Ablb (April) and the civil year with Tlssi {October). The year was a solar one, und but two seasons were reckoned—summer and winter. Tbe months were lunar, twelve in number, each of thirty days. This was the case with the average year, but occasionally a thirteenth was necessarily intercalated. This thirteenth month was called **Veadar.” Several of the ancient nations—the Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persians and Phoenicians in particular—began their year at the time of the •autumnal equinox, about Sept 22. fThe beginning of the year among the Creeks until about the year 432 B. C., •when Menton Introduced tbe cycle called after him, was nt the time of the ■winter solstice, or about Dec. 22, and afterward nt the time of the summer solstice, June 22. In England from the fourteenth century until the change from “old style" to “new style,” in 1752, the. legal and ecclesiastical yenr began with March 25.

**T suppose," said the physician to the •coffer, "that you would throw physic to the dogs?" “Not good dogs,” tbe other returned <ravely.

A GIRL’S NATURE.

Little Signa That, It Is Said, Reveal '■■ -- - Phases of Character. Much of a girl’s nature is betrayed •by the little act of brushing a speck off a man’s coat. If she picks off the thread or imaginary bit of lint very carefully between the thumb and forefinger it is an indisputable sign that she is a woman of a very practical and executive character. On the other hand, if a girl should brush the coat lapel of her fiance Very softly and tenderly with the second and third finger of her hand in her endeavor to remove an invisible speck it is a sure sign that she is more sentimental than practical. The man who marries her will live in a continual atmosphere of romance and bad housekeeping. There is still another type of girl who will brush the speck off a man’s coat with a broad sweep of the hand In which all the fingers and thumb play a part. She is in all probability an athletic girl who excels at tennis, golf and the links and who will prove a high spirited, strong minded woman after marriage. Then, again, the girl who puts a flower in a man's coat with her hand held jauntily upturned from the wrist and the flower held in the tips of her fingers is sure to be something of a coquette, while the maid who gives you only the tips of her fingers when she greets you in the drawing room or public street is probably an ambitious girl.—Chicago Journal.

BATHING AND HEALTH.

Benefit* to Be Derived From Cold Water and Rubbing. A cold bath—-we might as well get at the straight of the thing—is not really a matter of cleanliness so much as a matter of getting the skin livened up and the capillaries and veins next to the surface full of blood. Ice cold water or scalding hot water will do that, but tepid water—no, no! The skin is almost exactly the same kind of an excreting organ as the lungs. The same products seep through the pores as are carried off In the breath, and the air purifies the blood in the same way. But the greater part of the skin is smothered up in clothes day and night. What the cold water of the bath dissolves is matter well away. And the rubbing dry is pretty vigorous exercise if you want to know. Any rubbing is bound to push the blood along toward the heart and help the circulation, because there are valves in the veins which prevent the blood from going in any other direction than toward the heart. Whatever loose flakes of outer cuticle are rubbed off we needn’t worry about; plenty more where they came from. The extra food the increased appetite demands will make good that trifling loss.—Eugene Wood in Everybody's Magazine.

THE HEART MUSCLES.

How They Do Their Work and 'Why They Never Tire. It is generally supposed that the heart is an organ which never takes a rest. But this is not so. The muscles of the heart are not incessantly working. The heart contains four chambers—two upper, called the auricles, and two lower, the ventricles. In the beating of the heart the auricles first contract and force the blood into the ventricles; they then relax while the ventricles repeat the process. Then follows a pause, during which the heart is perfectly at rest. The contraction of the auricles takes one-fifth of the time between one beat and the next, the contraction of the ventricles two-fifths and the pause twofifths, so that the heart is really resting two-fifths of its time. Sleep also aids in relieving the muscles of the heart, as it considerably diminishes the rapidity of its action. This alternation of rest and activity endows the heart muscles with their capacity for untiring work.

Sacred Mountains In Japan.

Travelers, in Japan are astonished to find the-grandest shrines throughout the land situated on the tops of high, precipitous mountains. This is because every mountain in that country is dedicated to some deity who Is believed to be its guardian. These temple grounds are covered with the oldest and largest forest trees, and to the eyes of the people below the effect of the clouds which hover around the peak has originated the belief that the gods hold tlie power over the clouds to give or withhold rain.

Serenity of Temper.

One sign of mental health is serenity of temper and a self control that enables us to bear with equanimity and unruffled temper the petty trials and Jars of life, especially those arising from contact with scolding, Irascible, irritating folk. It is well to remember at such times that these unfortunates are their own worst enemies, and a cultivation of the art of not bearing will help us very much. It is a very useful art all through life and well worth some trouble to acquire.

Expressive Name For Indigestion

B. F. Fendig Bas a Simple Remedy That is Guaranteed to Cure the Trouble. No one word better expresses t! e oondiion of the sufferer from weak stomach or indigestion than “misery.” Ihe stomach is weak and cannot di. gest th food, so that there is no appetite, there are pains and griping in the stomach and bowels, the head ai d back ache, and the misery goes to every organ. Strengthen the stomach and the digestive system by the use of Mi-o-na. This is the only stomach remedy known that gives relief by strengthening the stomach and di gestive organs. It is this principle that makes it a certain cure for indigestion. t ther medicines may give temporary relief by helping digest tns food, but they do not strengthen the stcmach, and that organ gets weaker and weaker all the time. B, F Fendig the reliable retail druggist his so much confidence in th s remarkable remedy that he guarantees a cure, or the qioney wilV be refunded, Mi-o-na costs but 50 cents a box Ask to see the strong guarantee given with every box Mi-o-na is in tab et form and should be taken before eaoc meal Other remedies for stomach troubles and indigestion are taken after the meal, and decompose the good food you eat, but Mi-o-na us*d before eating strengthens the stomach, soothes and heals all irritation and inflammation, enriches the blood, and puts the stomach in such a healthy condition that it will take care of the food itself and there will be no pain and suffering. feb2Bw'24 mai9wlo
