> > Hull to Have Public Abattoir. . The Hull Tow n Council, at their last meeting, decided on the erection of a public abattoir. It is intended to proceed as soon as possible with buildings to accommodate about one third of the business now carried on in the town, and gradually to extend the buildings as required. The establishment will include meat market and chill rooms, and the cold storage of general goods will probably be provided for. The preliminary plans are in the hands of the city engineer. Weeping Brutes. Travelers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, a mule has been seen to cry from the pain of an injured foot, and camels, it is said, shed tears in streams. A cow sold by its mistress who had tended it from calfhood wept pitifully. A young soko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young ones slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one, and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, discovering their young drowned, have been moved to tears of grief. A giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had Injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cummings observed tears trickling down the face of a dying elephant. And even an orang-outang when deprived of its mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry from grief or weep from pain or annoyance.?Harper's Weekly. "What Shall I Do?" That is the problem which frequently confronts everyone ? especially parents with small children. A slight illness treated at once often saves a long period of sickness and expense?sometimes prevents aeam. The trouble is that so few people can think on the instant what treatment to apply, even if they have the knowledge necessary to recognize the disease and know what simple remedies are best To meet this want at small ' expense the Book Publishing House, 134 Leonard street, New York City, is sending postpaid a doctor book on receipt of sixty cents in stamps. The book is illustrated, contains 698 pages, explains symptoms, causes and simple means of overcoming ordinary illnesses. It was written by the eminent J. Hamilton Ayrea, A. M., M. D. It is a volume which should be in every household, as no one can tell what moment he may require the knowledge it contains. A Very Long Stairway.

COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact, that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers' book a chapter is headed "Coffee as a Medicine," and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or wViialrv rmirklv pauses irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant? coffee?and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of 10 days.

That Alcohol Makes Men Bright and Successful Intellectually is One of the GreatestDelusions Abroad in the World?Some Instances. 'A very common notion is abroad that wine makes men bright and successful Intellectually. This is one of the delusions of alcohol. One of the I brainest men England ever produced, ; a very giant in intellect, was Dr. Samuel Johnson. Dr. Matthew Arnold, when he wished to put before the young men of the University in England a standard work on the most high-class principle on criticism in the English language, chose six of Johnson's "Lives," and published them in a gem of a volume entitled "Johnson's Six Chief Lives," and gave an introduction from himself. Those "Six Lives" marked the highwater mark, and-it had never been nearly reached since. That masterpiece was produced after he was seventy years of age. xxo au CACiupmi UL luiai ausiiucuuc and an illustrations example of selfdenial few names occupy a more honored place than that of Dr. Samuel Johnson. He was a total abstainer at a time and among men when it required courage of a high order to practice total abstinence. It was a time of moderation in the church?the time of a low, groveling, sensual philosophy. English society was never at a more materialistic level than in the days of Dr. Johnson, and in spite of it all he stood up as bravely as teetotalers did now before society and the community. One day when Johnson was in his club in London one of his literary friends said to'him about that very matter? they were afraid to bully Dr. Johnson?"I am always wondering what it was that made you, of all men, an abstainer." Johnson looked at him and said?"Sir"?and his very "Sir" made a man tremble?"Sir," he said, "God sent me a terrible sickness, and I took the lesson from His haid, and I intend to profit by it, and to keep repeating it to the day of my death. I saw that my Maker's mind was that I should cease using strong drink." Johnson was a total abstainer in the clubs in London when there was scarcely a total abstainer but himself. He did not know a nobler thing a mortal man could say than that God gave him a lesson and he learned it. When in the Hebrides he was one evening-at dinner in Dunvegan Castle. The laird had brought in people from Skye to meet him?the doctor being one of the foremost men of England at that time?for even a king thought it an honor to shake his hand. The people had gathered from far and near to see him. Johnson was seated beside Lady MacLeod, and as the dinner went on all kinds of drink were going round, and Lady MacLeod said to him. "Everybody is taking something but yourself, I am Bure you would not carry it too far." "No, madam," replied Johnson, "it would carry me too far." Some one later on during that dinner party suggested to Dr. Johnson that he might take something and drink it in moderation. He turned and said, "Sir, I feel I cannot take-it in modr eration." That was one of the greatest speeches made by the greatest of Englishmen. He admitted himself to be a weak man, and that thare was a danger in taking it in moderation, and therefore he denied himself. It was a noble stand for a man like Johnson to take in a society in which he stood alone. It was comAn n?r n**tn 4- /-? V* A n ? ptuauveiy easy uuwauajo iv uc au abstainer. There was another Instance. Seated in his club one day there was an old gentleman at lunch, eating and drinking and grumbling that he was getting old and done and useless. Johnson sat reading his newspaper. His companion was full of the complaint, as though God was Injuring him by letting him get old. "How old are you?" asked Johnson, r denly. "I am sixty-fire/' replied old gentleman. "Well," replied Jo son, "I'm seventy. Drink water ; go in for a hundred."
