ARP IS AILING,
AND REAPS BOOKS TO FIND REMEDIES
TO CUKE HEADACHES.
I remember rading in Jostphns
or somewhere else that King 6olu
raon was the firat great bot&nWts, for
he studied the properties and Tirtne
of every plant from the fir tree to the
hraop that springeth Qut of the wall
and he knew all the herbs that were
good for man for medicine. I wish
tliat he had handed down his wisdaw
so that wo poor suffering mortals
would know what kind of bark or
roots or herbs or Icayes to use when
we get pun j and painfied. Majbe he
did hand it down in the books that
are lost, for the scriptures tell us
that all the rest of the acts of Solo
mon are written in books of Nathan,
the Prophet. . and Alijah and Iddo,
the seer. Maybe we will find those
books some of theie days, for there
is a railroad to Jerusalem now that
the investigating yankee is digging
away under the ruins of the temple.
They hate recently found the stalls
where be kept pi fine chariot hores.
1.400 of them, and which were driven
by 700 bandseme young men, who
had gold duit sprinkled in their hair
every morning and it sparkled in the
sunbeams and made them look dU
vine as they circled around on dress
parade, That's what Josephus says.
Bat I am afraid the botany will
come too late for me and I will bave
to keep on experimenting until
something kills or cures me. The
trouble is that a sick man gets well
he has taken so many different medi
cines that he dosen't know what cured
him. I had a mule that liked" to have
died, and 1 gave him everything that
the neighbors told me from lye soap
and molasses to kernseno oil and
lastly we rubbed him with with a rail
abdominally and horizontally until
the hair all came off and he got well
bat our next sick mule died before
we got to the rail and the mule doc
tors are still in the dark. I've been
reading a good deal of late in a stan
dard booc on medicine and 1 found
seventeen remedies (or beuHcrania
and twentyscven for pertussis. One
of these deseases is niuralgia head
ache and the the other is whooping
cough, but sometimes I forget which
is tother vnd take the wrong medi
cine. The headache belongs to me
and the cough to the little orphan
and the mantlepiece and the bureau
is full of bottles and vials and cap
sules and tumblers and spoons and
the medicines have such curious
names on the labels that I forget
which is mine And which is the
child's. My doctor has given me
seven remedies and charged me for
erere experiment, but my neighbors
have given ne twentr-seven free
gratis and I think I am a little bet
ter considering, bat I can't tell who's
ahead, mjr neighbors or the doctor.
If it wasn't for toe intermissions I
couldn't get along at all, but almost
every day I have a lucid interyal of
a few hours a.nd that keeps up my
hopes. I have been taking horse
radish and peppermint and terpen
tine, not through my mouth, but
through the olfactory openings just
above, and experienced relief for a
time, but it is a slow buiiness and
wouldn't make a good perfume. I
hare tried antiplrine aad several
other antia and the girls bathe ay
throbbing temples with camphor and
I hart tried gentain for tha last three

good female friend sent word? to
string half a dozen nutmegs on; a
black thread and tie them around lb

stringed them and went to bed with

there is a remedy for almost , everyv
disease except old age, and the dec-i
tors are finding them out. Whooping
cough ought to be cured in tweuty
four hours and it will be when tbe
germ theory of microbes and bacteria:
is fully understood. So let the ex-
perimeuting go on. Of course there;;
will be victims, but there will; be dis
covery.too. My wife and 1 nursed
a boy in Florida for three longtj
months and the doctors bills were
$500, and the d rue gist's bill bad
eighty-seven different prescriptions!
and the boy got well. But tho ug li
the doctors couldn't tell what .cured'
him they found out a good manyi
thinga that didn't, and that is- mak4
ing progress for the next case. But
after all I believe that good nursing
and sympathy
than medicine,
and home comforts
save more sick people
and l wisn tnat everydody uad as
much of these as I have and the
child. What can doctors or medicine
do for the poor in the slums of .the
great cities, where there are no good!
clean beds, nor pure air, nor' happy
voices, nor any of the comforts of life.

We dislike very much to hear a
laboring man say he dose'nt have
time to read, because nine times out
often we know lie utters a falsehood
when he suys it, and nine . of ten of
the men who have no time to read
spend their time leafing on the
streets or around the beer counter
and billiard table. The cases' ar
very rare, indeed, where a man has
no time to read one or even three or
terest enough in his own welfare to
read and pott himself on the! events
that .are transpiring for or against
him. He is content to let others do
his reading and thinking for him.
The class of men that claim they
do not have time to read are a curse
to the community In which they live,
Tbey have not minds of their own.and,
being as ignorant as a Hottentot,
they are used by the sharpers of their
town and neighborhood to help carry
out schemes to thwart ths will of the
educated and respecred citizens. The
man who dosen't have time to read
is usually a loafer. The successful
man has plenty of time to read and
post himself on matters pertaining to
his business, and that is one reason
why he is successful.
The educated laboring man finds
plenty of time to read, and without
neglecting-his work either. He is
the man whom you will find at home
evenings with bis family. The nail
keg in the corner grocery is never
kept warm by him while he listens,
or tells smutty stories to an ignorant
crowd of gaping loafers. He, who
cannot find urn e toTe'Sd never find?
time to be a man. but is always
the tool of some man who does read
Whenever we hear a man say he
doesen't have have time to red one
paper a week we always pity his wife
