The New York Sun says : "The
black- philosopher of Tuskegee,
Principal Washington, has made an
interesting remark about the Ala
bam a Normal Institute. 'At Tuske
gee,' he says, 'we teach our students
that it is better for them to spend
their t,i nd strength in learning
to be carpenters, dairymen, truck
gardeners, or - contractors, than to
fcpend it in making stump speeches.'
As an orator, Principal Wasjiinstfon

No sensible man should get angry
Jbecause a newspaper man duns him
Tor money. A dun is not .an im
peachment of a .subscriber's integ
rity, but is simply the outcropping
of the publisher's necessities. For
".instance, a thousand men ewe a man
from one to four dollars each. He
has to dun them all in order to pay
his expenses. Instead of getting
angry and stopping' his paper for
what is honestly due, the subscriber
should thank the editor for waiting
eo long on him so patiently and pay
Tap like man. Ex.
An Irish newspaper once said, in
announcing an accident: J'Our fellow-townsman,
Mr. Hooligan, fell
vout of the second story window yes

fered internal injuries. His friends
will be glad to Know that the latter
are not serious."
Don't be too stingy to pay your
fellow men a few compliments oc
casionally, if, you can't pay any
thing else.
He that does good for good's sake
seeks neither praise nor reward, but

O" Two years ago, I bad the. grippe,

me no rest night or day. My family
physician prescribed for me, changing.
he medicine as often as he found tlie
things I had taken were not helping
T. H E
me, but, in spite of his attendance, I got
no better. Finally, my husband, read
ing one day -of a gentleman, who had
had the grippe and was cured by taking
A-yer's Cherxy-Pectoral, procured, for
me, a bottle of tins medicine, and before
I had taken half of it, I was cured. I
have used the Pectoial for my children
and in my family, whenever we have
needed it, and have found ita specific
for cold'', coughs, and lung troubles."
