WHAT INDUCBn AN OLD MAN TO SHAVE
HO OFTEN
Apropos i f the recent adoption in Ver
mont of the high license law, Represen
tative Foster, of that state tells, an anec
dote about an old farmer who never had
an acne or a paio, but who, nevertheless,
thought he ought to have a doctor, be-
i use be had never had one.
The interview was to the point, the
riuer asserting that he could eat as fur
as he could see on both fi les of the table,
od that he slept si well he dido t get
p till it was time to do the milking.
"You are in perfect health," said the
odor to the farmer, after miking a
physical examination, "but you are in the
decline of health and perhaps you ought
to take a tnoie, something like a little rye
whiskey."
"Oh," said the farmer,"! oould never
do that I have a son and that would
never do "
"Who is your barber?'1 queried the
doctor.
"I shave myself," replied the farm
er,
"Well," rejoined the doctor, "couldn't
you have a bottle in your room and take
thetooio whenever you shave? '
This was agreed to, and it was some
lime before the doctor oue day in t I he
farmer's son aud inquired about the
patient.
"He is getting along very nicely,"
aid the young man "He is more ac
tive than ever, but he is losing his
mind."
Losing his mind! ' exclaimed the
doctor in surprise. "What is the evidence
of it?"
"Well," said tlioyUDg.man,"he io!ats
on shaving himself six times a day,"

STEPHANIE OF AUSTRIA.
In spite of the detailed and quite convincing uccounts cabled from Vienna,
It seems that Count Lonyny, who ininrled Crown Princess Stephanie of Aus
tria, has not added to the list of royal scandals by deserting his wife. The
Count and Countess Lonyny are at Cap Mnitlii, mi the Ulvlei-fl. The count
ays that he has not quarreled with the ooiiuti'SH, that he has not struck her
In the face and that when he discovers who atnrted those stories there will

MATTHEW ARNOLD, poet and critic, was born In
MidJUsix. England. In KSl and died at Liverpool In
1SS8 lie was a son of the famous Thomas Arnold,
head master of Rugby, and was educated at Win
cheater, RiiK'iy and Oxford. In 1S57 Matthew Arnold
became prof.'.isur of poetry at Oxford He tald two
vlalta to the l'nlte-1 States Arnold was religious
skeptic, and his works met with clerical criticism.
His writing arc remarkable for. classical beauty of
form and expression. The poem Kiven below em
hoi ies. according to many, the aubatance of Arnold's
religious belief or lack of belief.
THE sea Is calm tonight,
The tide Is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the Strnits;-ou the French coast, the light
tileama und is gone, the cliffs of England Stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window; sweet is the hight air!
Only, from the long lino of spray
Where the ebb meets the moon-blanched aand,
Listen! you hear the crating roar
Of pebbles which the wavea suck bnck, and fling.
At their return, up the high strand,

With tmuttluu cadence slow, aud bring
The eternal note of sadness In.

Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled,
But now I only bear '
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,

Of the iilglit-wlnd, down the vast edges drear
And naked shinnies of the world.
Ah, love, lot tis be true
To one another! for the world, which seemi
To He before tis like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither Joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor pence, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Bwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night

forgetfulness is something different than

and yet be ignorant of it. Qod cannot
forget in the sonse of being ignorant of

to set an injury aside. To draw the fanes

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
THERE ARE OBLIGATIONS BETEWEEN
MAN AND MAN WHICH CANNOT BE COM
PEN80TED BY DOLLARS AND CENTS.
Probaly most persons who have trav.
eled at night by rail have had their
thoughts turned to him who, standing
with haDd upon the throttle-lever of the
engine, watches between them and death.
Often, when the night has been black
and boisterous with angry storms, or cold
and desolate in mid-winter, we have lain
down in our sung berth listening to the
clatter of the sniftiy-muving train with a
s nse of security, because we knew there
was oncsiaoding in the cab waicliiuc:
with vigilant eye against danger. There
be is giizing out along the track, con
scious (hut hundreds of lives are em i us1 i d
to his care; that theso hundreds of sleeping
passeDgcra are resting calmy in the con
viction that he will not fail in duly.
They are all siraogers to him. At the
stations while the train waits for passen-
rs to take their meals, none of them
think it worth their while to speak to
bim. They are going somewhere. They
are who knows even their names? The
conductor, the breukmen, and the porters
are brought more or lees in contract wiih
them, aod they learn somelhiog of each
other; there is a Mule mutual fellowship,
at least. But the engine-driver stand
apart. His lace is begriiU'd with snm,
his clothes soiled with grease, nnd his
hands hard and unseemly. On the road,
after a long tiL'ln of travel, he is not a b-
jeet of prepossessing appearance Aod yet
this man, through all that night, has had
the guardianship of hundreds of lives and
faithfully performed his work Siber,
cool, and vigilant, he has brought his
iharsjo to the end of ihe journey in
fety. The travelers scatter to their
omes or pass on to ol her scenes, prai-ing
he railroad company for the admirable
system of their road and the comfortable
accommodations afforded, while perhaps
one give a thought to ibe engineer,
hose faithfulness guarded them from
accident and ucatn.

in which cannot be compensated by did

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.
The tendency of midioal science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to t he
uhject. It is easier and belter lo p e
vent than lo cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, ooe of th
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can bo proven
ted by the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Pntunnmia always result
from a cold or from an attack of influem
(grip), and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands o
gwi in which thin remedy has been use
during the grat prevalence of colds and
grip in recent years, and can be relied
upon with implicit oonhdenoe. rneumon
ia often results from a slight cold when
no danger is apprehended until it ia sud
