Some of our dispensary exchanges
are still harping on the deceased G.
M. 1. and asking whether 20 or 40
ooouty dispensaries is any advantage
over a State dispensary. Perhaps
not. But 20 or 40 county disI^penaariee-minus
a State dispensary is
better than 20 o: 40 county dispeu
tarns plus a State dispensary. Suppose
we liken the thing to an old
the-wolf and her whelps. Having
killed the old she-wolf, the whelps
are not so dangerous; and then there
is the additional advantage that it is
easier to kill off the whelps.?Newberry

THE HONEST APOLOGY.
Never Be Ashamed to Say That You j
Are Sorry.
Don't bo afraid or ashamed to
say that you arc sorry..
It may bo hard, but remember
I that it takes two to make a quarrel,
and the chances are that you were [
as much in the wrong as the other 1
person. j
Of course it would be better not \
to quarrel in the first place, but
after all we are only human, and
sometimes our temper gets the best j
of us.
But the false pride that keeps us
from acknowledging ourselves in
the wrong is even more deplorable
than the unruly tongue that gets
us into trouble in the first place, j
A quarrel that docs not amount,
m11a 11 in thn Urcf nlilPO (>!in <TTOW 1
1.W IMUI.II w ? I" ~ ~ C I
ir.to'a perfect mountain of trouble I
through brooding.
Don't wait for the other person
to express regret. Come right out
like a man or woman and say: "I'm j
sorry for my share of the offense.
Let us forgive and forget."
Never part from any one with
hard feelings between you.
Remember that "many go forth
in the morning who never come
back at night." Don't run the risk
of having to go through life with
an agony of remorse in your heart.
And remember also that every
quarrel leaves a scar. If you would
prevent those scars from being ugly
wounds, do not hesitate to do your
share of "making up."
Sweethearts will quarrel over
needless trifles as much for the
pleasure of reconciliation afc anything
else, but it is a foolish pastime
and gets them into the habit
of dispute.
If you are a wife, never let your
husband go away in the morning
with an unforgiven quurrel between
you. It will rankle in your heart
all day, and nothing will seem right
or sweet. It is twice as easy to express
sorrow immediately after the
quarrel as it will be if you wart a
day. |
It is usually a sulky person wno
finds it hardest to express contrition.
The quick tempered person is
as ready to make up as he was to
take offense, but the sulky person,
even though he may feel desperately
6orry, cannot bring himself to
say so, and the result is that he
goes through a great deal of unnecessary
suffering.
Don't be the kind that won't acknowledge
the blame. Say you are
sorry, and say it sincerely. There is
no disgrace in an honest avowal of
having been in the wrong. ? St.
Louis Republic.
Weight Dead and Alive
It is a very popular idea that a
person when dead weighs heavier
l.Trinrr flro tllftt
tliaii )) UCU ilfUlg. V??V ivvwvv. ? ? 4
dead body is thought to be heavier
tliau a liviDg one is probably
this: In carrying a living person we
have the center of gravity adapted
by the person carried to suit the
convenience of the carrier and
maintained in a position as far as
possible to fall within the base of
his body. Again, the elasticity of
the structure of the l?ody, especially
the cartilages, though not in reality
diminishing the weight, gives an
appearance of lightness, as we see
in the beautiful movements of the
stag, and this would seem to corroborate
the notion that living creatures
are lighter than dead ones.
It has also been asserted that the
breath makes the living body lighter
than the dead. But we need hardly
say that a man when dead weighs
no more than when alive.
Too Small to Be Seen.
Not long after his introduction
into national life as a member of
the house Tim Sullivan of New
York conceived a violent dislike for
the man then at the head of one of
i the executive departments. It was
observed that whenever Sullivan,
much to his disgust, was obliged to
consult the official in question he
invariably left in anything but the
pleasantest of humors. One morning
Sullivan had been cooKng his
heels in the secretary's anteroom
when the private secretary entered,
saying, "1 am awfully sorry, Mr.
' - U
} Sullivan, dux you can x see xne sec.
retary this morning." Sullivan, by
, this time in a white heat because of
his long wait, dramatically exclaimed:
"Merciful heaven! Is he so
' small as all that?"
A Mixed Quotation.
In a case of some notoriety a law'
yer who is noted for his flowery oratory
was defending the accused.
Wishing to emphasize the tender re;
lation that had existed between his
client and the complainant, he exclaimed:
"What does Omar say od
this subject? 'A dog and a bone
and a hank of hair and thou singing
beside me in the wilderness/"
And to this day he doesn't understand
why his respectfully attentive
audience laughed. ? Kansas City

BUTTON MAD.
The Height of the Craze In the Tin
of Louis XIV.
The oldest buttons at present in
the museums and amoi^g the collections
arc the gold buttons discov-1
ered at Mycenae at the time of the
excavations undertaken by Dr.
Sehiiemann and also those found in
the tomb of Childeric I. The latter
were exhibited at the Louvre in the
Musee des Souverair.s. They are
made of gold and of colored glass,
imitating garnet. Buttons detached
from copes and religious garments
of the middle ages and of the
renaissance have also been discovered.
But the richest things of the kind
beyond a doubt are those that were
worn by Louis XIV. M. Maze-SenI
it - ?T??:-i? _/
cier m me ncgisier ui uiauuuus
and Presents to the King/' at present
preserved in the ministry of foreign
affairs, gives an official account
of the buttons of that pompous sovereign.
It is as follows:
"Feb. 3, 1G85. ? Montarcy presented
to the king eighty diamond
J buttons, valued at 180,030 livres.
"May 7, 1GS3.?Made and delivered
by Sieur Bose six diamond buttons,
30,000 livres.
"July 26, 1G85.?Handed over by
Montarcy to the Marquis de Seignelay
for the king seventy-five diamond
buttons, 586,703 livres.
"Aug. 1, 1GS5.?Two diamond
buttons, G7,8GG livres.
"Aug. 1G, 1G85.?Three diamond
j buttons, G9,GG0 livres.
I "Dec. 20, 16S5.?Four diamond
[ buttons, 83,775 livres."
AiWi?pr ifpm in the same vear:
! "July 26, 1685.?Furnished by
j Montarcy for the king's vest, fortyeight
gold buttons, each set with a
diamond, and ninety-six clasps, forty-eight
of which were composed of
five diamonds each and forty-eight
of one diamond each, 185,123 livres.
*"Also 384 clasps for the doublet
of the king, 102 of which were
formed of five diamonds each and
162 of one diamond each, 1,006,345
! livres.
i "In addition there were seven erj
namental clasps of three diamonds
j each, 201,270 livres.
"Sundry presents, thirty-three or,
namented clasps, 574,366 livres."
That foots up a total of about
3,000,000 livres for the buttons of
the "great king" for the single year
1685. The preceding year Louis
XIV. received a lot of buttons that
were valued at 1,071,000 livres. In
these enumerations there is no raen[
tion of the diamonds for the shoes,
; the garters, the cuffs and the hat3
t r\t mnnnrrh.
We are obliged to admit, with oar
! coats and overcoats garnished with
j miserable little cloth and bone af|
fairs, we cut a poor figure in the
j fancy button busiuess compared to
I the dudes of the days of Louis XIV.

Where Brides Are Hungry.
How .vould a bride in this country
care to fast on her wedding day
until after the sacred ceremony, and
this after enduring the hardships of
i a farewell party given the day be|
fore? Yet this is what ?a ItussianI
j girl is supposed to do. As the marriage,
to be fashionable, should not
| occur until evening, it may easily
be iinugined in what an exhausted
state she is to commence her new
period of life. Besides bridesmaids,
there are bridesmen, these latter being
obliged to present the bridesmaids
with sweetmeats. A personage
follows the procession bearing
an elegantly mounted picture of
Christ in gold and silver, which is
stationed against the altar. The
bridesmaids do not all dress alike,;
and their number is unlimited.?

" THE HOODOO IN INDIA.
Obsession In the Orient Is Due to a Peculiar
Religious Rite.
Why are obsessions so numerous
in India? In India the notion
among tlm Hindoos is that when a
man lias died it is necessary to cause
his release from earthly bonds by
an offering called pinda, made in
his name in the sacred city of Gya.
So long as this is not done the soul
of the dead man remains tied to
earth and cannot rise high. It so
happens that a Hindoo spirit Unas
that he ha become a ghost?that is
to say, :i <artli bound soul. He
very nr.r. 'ullv thinks that his misfortur!'
i> due t:- :hc fact that no
pinda had boon ol'.c.ed in his name,
and he makes gigantic efforts to see
that it is done. But he finds that
he cannot communicate his wishes
to his relatives, friends or fellows
who arc yet on earth. Such souls
make gigantic efforts to be able to
hold communication with men 'who
are not dead. Sometimes they succeed.
And then they explain what
they want. If they get hold of a
friend, it is all right. They at once
ask the latter to release them. But
this is not generally possible. So
what they do is this: They possess
a woman or a man and make themselves
disagreeable in as many ways
as they can. Ghost doctors are summoned.
They open communication
with the spirit, who refuses to leave
his medium until it is promised to
him that a pinda will be offered in
his name in Gya. When he has
been able to extort this promise he
leaves the body he had possessed,
says the Hindoo Spiritual Magazine.
This explains why cases of true
obsession are so frequent in Hindoo,
India. Ninety-nine out of i hundred
in India havo seen cases of
obsession.
A ghost makes itself very disagreeable.
The exorcist is summoned.
He opens communication with
the spirit?in short, the spirit
speaks through the party ha has
obsessed, and a conversation like
the following ensues:
The Exorcist (to the ghost)?You
must leave the body of your victim.
The Ghost?I am willing to go if
you promise me one thing?namely,
- # ?Ml flrfl in
II you Will unci a pu-iuu in vj? ...
my name.
The promise is made, and the
ghost leaves hi9 victim. That is the
way such cases are treated generally.
This is ^he reason why cases of
obsession are so numerous in India.
Indeed, they are so frequent in this
country that there are many rojas
(exorcists) who live by curing obsessed
men and women. What is
more, in India there is a hospital
tnr- aKcocsoH r*?nnle_ a uniaue insti
IV/i WtfVWVVVi 4
tution the like of which is not to
be seen in any other part of the
world. This hospital is a temple in
the holy ptace called Hari Hareshwar,
in Eocond, in south India.
There possessed men and women
are carried, and they are 6ent back
cured.?Es change.
His Editorial.
It was the practice of a certain
London editor some years ago to
ttrite his leading article or articles
at home the night before publication.
The rest of the week he did
nothing. One night his articles had
not come to hand at the office. Ten
o'clock came, 11, 12, and still no
sign of an article. There was commotion
in the office, and at last c
messenger was 6ent to the editor's
house. He found him with a glass
of brandy and water before hiit
and newspapers scattered about
There was no article written
"What do you want?" asked the editor.
"The article for tomorrow.'
"Didn't I send it?" "No?at leasl
it has not come to the office." "Givs
me the Times." The Times was
found and handed to him, and wit!
unsteady fingers he cut out one o]
its leading articles. This he stuci
upon a sheet of paper and then
taking his pen, wrote at the top
"What does the Times mean
this?" In that form and with thai
introduction it appeared next morn
ing as rne eanur? tuaumg u uv>v.
Brought Him Alive.

One of the first tasks assigned th<
new hired hand was to bring int<
the cow lot dead or alive a refrac

a shotgun and told to shoot the bul
if the animal showed fight. Jaunti

the bull saw the Irishman enter thi

ing madly. The Irishman blaze<
away with the shotgun and emptie<
the load in the beast's breast. Oi
rushed the bull, madder than ever
The Irishman took to his heels, witl
the bull after him.
"What are you doing?" screamei

"I'm bringing him alive, sir!'
shouted the Irishman betweei
