ZKII.KV & CO., Philadelphia, PaT "LUCK." The boy who's always wishing That this or that might be, But never tries his mettle, Is the boy that's bound to see His plans all come to failure, His hopes end in defeat, For that's what comes when wishing And working fail to meet. The boy who wishes this thing Or that thing with a will That spurs him on to action, And keeps him trying still When efforts meet with failure, Will some day surely win, For he works out what he wishes, And that's where "luck" comes in ! The "luck" that I believe in Is that which comes with work, And no one ever finds it Who's content to wish and shirk. The men the world calls "lucky" Will tell you, every one, That success comes not by wishing, But by hard work, bravely done. Congregationalist. Here's a New Malady. Scientific American. A typewriter was heard to say that when she first got a circular letter to do she thought she had a soft thing. It was a committee notification, the only difference in the letters being the names and addresses, subsequently ad ded. There were five hundred of these letters to be typewritten. She began her work in high glee. After haying finished half a dozen or more she had the text by heart, and rattled on at a high rate of speed. After having done forty or more her speed began to fall off. Shortly, it began to be necessary to rest a few minutes between eacli let ter. Then her eyes refused to distin guish the letters. Her fingers worked automatically. The mind failed to un derstand the meaning of the words. Then the eyes closed with weariness and the fingers groped their way unaid ed by sight. After a time the text be came so confused, tiie letters so mixed up, that the work had to be turned over to another person. The testimo ny of other typewriters confirms the nervous excitement and bodily exhaus tion that result from repetition. Women who conduct offices of ty re writing report that frequently girls have been laid up at their homes and in hospitals from making excessive copies ol circular letters. In well con ducted offices these are now given in rotation, alternating with other work. Specimen Cases. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with Neuralgia and Rheu matism, hi- Stomach was disordered, his Liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell awap, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, III., had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, O., had five large Fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was iucurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him en tirely. Sold by E. T.

C, THURSDAY, Three Presidents' Wives. Youth's Companion. Women of domestic habits and sim ple tastes, but married to ambitious men, anxious to occupy the prominent places of public life, do not always sym pathize Jwith their husbands' craving for distinction. They may feel a pride in their husbands' popularity, but they feel more the pain of breaking away from their home life to participate in the gay, feverish ind unsatisfying life of Washington. When General Jackson was elected to the presidency, Mrs. Jackson said : "For Mr. Jackson's sake I am glad ; for my own part I never wished it." Life in the White House had no at tractions for her ; her own home was more desirable to one whose domestic habits made her indifferent to the po sition of "the first lady in the land." She died before the inauguration. "I assure you," she said to a friend, "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to live in the palace at Washington." "The house of my God" was a plain little edifice, built by General Jackson to gratify her after she had united with the Presbyterian church. It was locat ed on her estate, a quarter of a mile from the mansion, and Mrs. Jackson spent many happy hours within its walls. Margaret, the wile ot President Tay lor, had been educated in that old fash ioned society which thought the dear est spot on earth was home, and that a woman's highest ambition should be to make a happy home for her husband and children. Born near Chesapeake Bay, where deer, canvas-back ducks, terrapin and home-cured hams abound, she was well versed in the art of "Maryland house keeping." . The epithet in those days was synonymous with good food, and good cooking, an orderly, comfortable home, under the constant supervision of the housewife. While General Taylor was winning battles from Mexicans, Mrs. Taylor was looking after her four-roomed cottage at Baton Rouge, working in her little garden, and iranaging a small dairy, which supplied her table with what was unknown in the neighborhood fresh milk, rich cream and sweet but ter. For more than a quarter of a centu ry Geneial Taylor had been occupied by military duties. His wife's dream had been that at some time "the gen eral" and she might retire to their little cottage, and there live out their days unnoticed except by their friends. When public opinion pointed to her husband as a candidate for the presi dency, she expressed her regret. "It is a plot," she said to her friends, "to de prive me of his society, and to shorten his life by increasing his cares and res ponsibilities." Her words were prophetic. A little more than a year after their entrance into the White House she was a widow. The wife of John Adams was cast in a different mold. A friend, referring to Mr. Adam's nine years of absence from home, as our representative in Europe, asked her : "Had you known that Mr. Adams would remain so long abroad, would you have consented to his going from you ?" She thought- a moment and then re plied : "Had I known that Mr. Adams could effect what he has done I could not only have submitted to the absence I have endured, painful as it has been, but I would have been willing that three more years should have been ad ded to the nine. "I feel a pleasure in sacrificing un selfishness to the general good, and in imitating my husband's example, which has taught me to consider myself and family as the small dust of the balance, when compared with the great com munity." The public-spirited woman, who thus spoke, managed the farm, took care of the children, kept house with frugality, twirled the spinning-wheel, nursed the sick in a season of pestilence, studied French, read standard works, and wrote the best letters of the era, that her hus band might attend to his duties as one EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. of the jreat leaders of the Revolution. When John Adams became President, his wile wrote him from their Brain tree home : "You have this day to declare voQr self head of a nation. 'And now, O Lord my God, thou has made thy ser vant ruler over the people ; give unto him an understanding heart, that he may know how to go out and come in before this great people ; that he mav discern good and bad. For who is able to judge this thy so great a people !' were the words of a royal sovereign, and not less applicable to him who is invested with the chief magistracy of a nation, though he wear not a crown nor the robes of royalty." There were women as well as men in the Revolution ; the "fathers" would not have won had not the "mothers cheered them on. An Easy Method of Keeping Warm. Scientific A merica n. I should like to call attention to ar easy method of warming one's self when other and more common means are not available. It is a method that I suppose is well enough known to the profession, but probably not often used. I allude to warming the body by mere ly taking deep inspirations. On one very cold afternoon last win ter though walking briskly along, I was uncomfortably cold ; feet and hands were very cold, and my ears so chilled as frequently to require the appli cation of my heavily gloved hands. In addition, the whole surface of the skin was unpleasantly chilled ; "creeps" ev er and anon running up and down my spinal column and radiating thence oyer the body and extremities ; in short, a condition that every reader of this little article has doubtless many a time experienced. I then began tak ing an exercisa often employed before with benefit : deep forced inspirations, holding the air as long as possible be fore expulsion. After a few inhalations the surtace of my body grew warmer, and a gener al sense of comfort pervaded me. Continuing, the next to teel the effects of the effort were my previously frigid ears. They grew agreeably warm, and within the time required to walK three blocks, at the previous pace, hands and feet partook of the general warmth, and I felt as comfortable as if the same length of time had been passed by a glowing fire. The happy results obtained from this simple method are probably owing to several causes : The cold, of course, chills the surface of the body and contracts the sueprfi cial blood vessels, usually affecting first hands, feet and ears, and afterward the general body surface. Contraction of the blood vessels results both in Jess blood to the part and in stagnation of the current, thus rendering the tissues still less able to resist the cold. Deep forced inspirations not only stimulate the blood current by direct muscular exertion, but also ly compressing and expanding the lungs the flow of blood is greatly hastened through this organ, and on account of the increased amount of oxygen inhaled, this abund ant supply of blood is thoroughly oxy genated, tissue metabolism is increased and more heat necessarily produced. Many times unavoidable exposure, as riding, driving, standing and the like for a longer or shorter time in the cold, has been the cause of severe and even fatal congestive troubles, such as pleurisies and pneumonias, and a means of quickly stimulating the flagging pe ripheral circulation which a person ha? always with him, and which can be employod without moving a step, is one that ought not to be neglected or forgotten. E. S. Sangree, M. D., Amer ican Therapist. 1 A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajonarie, N. Y., says that he always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use ; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman Druggist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy ; that he has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it.
