HER SLIPPERS.
Ah, those dainty liitle slippers,
Which encase her shapely feet,
Have cast lasting spells upon me
And my wild heart caused to beat
In time to their dulcet music
As they patter down the street.
’Neath her snowy skirts’ chaste folds
They alternately peep,
Anri her pure Castilian instep
In my longing sight I keep.
As she glides along the pavement
With such free an4 graceful sweep.
> Ah, how happy are those slippers
To enclasp in close embrace
Such exquisite little feet,
Gifted with such witching grace 1
I envy the incensed earth
The track of their lightsome place.
Every week I hear those footfalls
Gently up the hall steps patter,
Filling all my heart with gladness
As I list to their sweet platter—
For she’s bringing clean clothes to me.
My washerwoman’s daughter!
—George Austin in New Orleans Picayune.

Landor, the young Eng-
J!'o is doing so much in his
^stain the great name made
idfather, W alter Savage
JHfSor, in the direction of letters, tells
us that in Morocco the natives run away
and hide whenever they see an artist
preparing to make sketches. He says
that when he first visited that country
he one day drew forth his pocket sketch
box and innocently began sketching a
section of a little bazar street, where-
upon, much to his astonishment, the
merchants all hurriedly bundled their
stocks into large cloth wrappers and
scampered away. He subsequently
learned that these Moors believe the
painter or sculptor who reproduces theii
bodies invites their souls to occupy his
■* bouhmr!!^ .
are said to have mady stories of persoBS"^"*-^-.
who have lost the!* souls by reason of !
portraits having been made of their
oodies. If we could get the ear of the
iors a few moments we believe we
could allay their fears by proving to
them that it is only here and therd a
painter- or sculptor puts any soul what-
ever into his work.—New York Star.
Untimely Rain.
“I saw,-’ said a friend of mine, “you
had something in about the grangers a
week or two ago. I think it ver
funny. You knowwdiKQ^ha^^li^^^

ranch. We used to get the San
Yancisco papers, of course, every day,
Lnd every one of them was whooping up
■Yie rain. ‘The farmers are now jubilant.
liis God sent rain means millions of
dollars to the state, and the granger
gazes over his fields happy in the pros-
pect of a big harvest ^md all that sort of
thing. It used to amuse me.”
“Why?”
“ Why? There wasn’t a granger within
fifty miles or a ranch hand or anybody
else who wasn’t cursing that blamed
rain.”
“The country needed it.”
“Yes; but there was to be a big dance
in the town, and every mother’s son and
daughter was going to it, and the rain
came and knocked it endwise. They’d
rather have had the crop ruined than
niss that dance.”—San FranciscoChron-

blood poison neutralizers in the whole world.
It is thought to be the only remedy that will
successfully neutralize the poison from the
bite of the mad dog. It is death to microbes
or disease germs, in the human system.
When these are destroyed, disease and pain
take their flight. “Pain is but the prayer of
the nerves for healthy blood.”
While the germ theory of disease is no new
doctrine, it has failed to gain the credence of
medical science, to any great extent, until
of recent years; and now that the theory is
pushing to the front, the practice is lagging
far behind. For the benefit of the public,

Public Readings Pay.
fcioluments do public readers
are generally well paid.
Edons, for instance, makes
^re'^V than any one else in the
brofessioffi and has returned to Europe
(with $20,000, her.net receipts for a sea-
son’s readings. She receives from $100
to $200 a night.
.Locke Richardson gets even higher
pay. For a course of six readings he
would receive about $1,000. When he
reads before one of the clubs he gets
from $100 to $200. Sydney Woollett has
the same repertoire; he, too, is a very
busy man.
The demand nowadays is not so much
for professional readers as for authors
who read from their own works. Cable,
for instance, is a great success. He
never gives a reading for less than $100.
He is in great demand for young ladies’
schools and seminaries.
Thomas Nelson Page is also a great
platform success; he never goes for less
than $100.—Philadelphia Times.
The “Spring Fever.”
I have had many people ask me for a
remedy for the ills which usually visit
the human body in the spring, causing
the well known complaint of “spring
fever.” My experience has been that the
best cure for this malady is plenty of
healthful and invigorating outdoor exer-
cise. The most pleasant of these is horse-
back riding. When one is on a trotting
horse, which I prefer, every muscle is
brought into play and exercised. There
are other outdoor amusements which are
equally beneficial. There is one pre-
valent form of pastime which I consider
injurious, and that is bicycling. When
one is astride a wheel he is bent forward,
and, I am convinced, is placed in a posi-
tion which has a tendency to contract
the chest. This is, of course, exactly the
opposite effect to be desired, or expected
from outdoor amusements.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Artists’ Canvas.
Canvas, regarded from an artist’s point
of view, is the principal material upon
which oil paintings are made. Two kinds
are prepared for this purpose, of which
the best is called ticking. Before it is
put into the artist’s hands it is usually
primed or grounded of a neutral gray or
other tint. Certain sizes of canvas being
in greater request than others are kept
ready stretched on frames. Those used
for portraits are known by the names of
kit cat, which measures 28 or 29 inches
by 36; three-quarters, 25x30 inches; half
length, 40x50 inches; Bishop’s half

Washington and Marshall.
I am told by a great-grandson of the
chief justice of a scene between Wash-
ington and Marshall in 1798, to which
the date—that of the year before Wash-
ington’s death—lends emphatic interest.
Marshall was summoned to Mount Ver-
non, and arrived there late one evening
to find the general urgently determined
that he should enter congress, a move to
which, for many reasons, Marshall was
opposed. For hours the argument went
on, neither yielding his strong will to the
other. At last, in some heat, Washing-
ton ended the conference by wishing his
guest an abrupt good night. At sunrise,
next morning, Marshall arose, intending
. to make his way to the stables and ride
off, trusting to time to heal the breach
between two tried and trusted friends.
In the grounds he encountered the gen-
eral, who, suspecting his purpose, had

THE GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.
“It, is a fact that thegerm theory of disease
did no t originate, as some suppose, in recent
years, although it has only i“tely attracted
much attention. More than two hundred
years ago, the theory was brought forward
■ " '■ Kircher to acce unt for the plague
t h ers ennors-
and Linnauu^Tm^HM^P^^^L^
edit. It is a theory whicn ascribes oisease
to the introduction of living organisms into
the human system. Such discoveries have
been made in the last twenty years, as have
induced (forced) some of the best experi-
mentalists, to vow that it represents a
view more clearly explanatory7 of many
diseases, than any other hypothesis. The
germ theory is important, because connected
with the propagation of disease. Diseases
arise from the invasion of the system by
microscopic forms, or germs, or microbes,
from the air or water, or food we receive, and
with property or power of rapid multiplica-
tion, and the spores or cells are wafted by
the air from person to person. By a long
series of observations and experiments in
all departments of animal life, the presence
of fungus growth in the blood and tissue,
have been found as a result of these spores.
Typhoid fungus, Small Pox fungus and
Cholera fungus, have been discovered and
identified by several eminent physicians,
and the same may be said of Epizootic and
other diseases.”
“That the ubiquitous microbe is, indeed
a most important factor in all diseases, is no
longer a question of doubt.
Modern surgery under the leadership ol
Prof. Lister, with his anti microbe remedies,
has built upon this foundation, a magnifi-
cent superstructure, which will not crumble
under the touch of destructive criticism,
nor totter to its fall amid the upheavals of
original search. And quite naturally has
arisen the question, how far can the microbe
eiadicateing drugs, so easy of application
and so powerful for good under the surgeon’s
hand, be made to do service in the internal
treatment ot micronic diseases. It can not
be said that the physician has been less in-
dustrious than the surgeon. But it cannot
be denied that his efforts thus far, have been
a stupendous failure, and it is yet guess
work with them as to which is the best
remedy with which to try to kill the dread-
ful microbe, or disease germs, iu the human
system, and leave life in the patient. And
while the surgeon, now with his germicidal
remedies quaffs the atmosphere of the de-
lectable mountain, the physician is stall
wearily breathing the germ laden air of the
slough of despondency without a remedy.”—

Dear Sir:-This is to certify that I have

with nasal catarrh, and have used every pat-
ent medicine known. Have spent nearly
13,000 for this, that and the other, and 1 can
not say to-day that one single remedy has
ever done me any good. Tired of the con-
stant use and purchasing of these medicines,
I concluded to try Dr. King’s Royal Germ-
etuer, manufactured by the Royal Germ-
etuer company of Lampasas, Texas. I have
now been using same since December 7th,
and I cannot speak too highly of its merits.
And cannot recomend it too highly to all
who want a cure for any diease, arising from
impure blood.
Respectfully,

In all candor, I will say for the benefit of
any of mv friends, who are in a low state of
health, that I was indeed in poor health
when I commenced using Dr. King’s Royal
Germetuer. I improved from the start;
have used two gallons. I am feeling better
all the time and expect to continue the use
of it until I am cured.

It is all he has been using. He has quit all
