I was in deed oY a friend, but realiz-ing the full meaning of tho word fnend-ship, it was a task for mo to choose out ot the multitude. The same thing holds good when wo are sick.

That's a good maxim, but it will not work as a rnle in tbe purchase of a rem-edy for Rheumatism. Any of the cheap bostrnms will not effect a cure—in fact, none of them will.

n A l t o r u n A U V L n I l o l l N U . •olf, I think i t u t i m c t o g i v o the story ir | an eternal r> st, writes M. M. Trumbull,

In Opera Court The fable nins that the problem of standing an egg on end having boon submitted as a puzzle to Colnmbns. he solved It Inatsnlly bv tup-ping the egg on the table, and b r e w lag tho end of It just enough to make a Out banlaon whi.-h it stood Arm. without a quiver. According to tho legend, the phllosophors who thought to confound the groat mathematician by snch a sim-ple qneotlnn, accepted the solution oa eorreet, acknowledged themselves de-feated. end If there wan a bet upon It. as I suppose there was, gave up the money. It is out a grateful duty to abolish popular myths, but this, like so many Iwtter ones, must go.

Evidently, tho Columbian egg story U a Action, because If true, Columbus roast have been a clumsy juggler, and tho breaking of tho egg a confession of defeat, an acknowledgment that the problem could not l>e solved without vi-olating Ita Arr.t Implied condition, name-ly. that th»og7. uninjured, should stand alone and unsupported on u level sur-face. lire airing the egg. so far from solving tho problem, waa an evasion of Its t e rms like untying tbe t/ordian knot by cutting it into pieces, which waa not untying it at all. Columbus might just aa well have stuck the egg up-right into the salt upon the table, ami called that a solution of the piiule. To make an egg stand npvlglit on u piano surface Is n< t a diflk-ult feat; I have known how to do it for more y e a n than I enre to mention, but I have not revealed the ace ret, fee ring that unprincipled men might use It for betting pnrpoces and win great fortnnes with it; but la the Chicago Tribune I Ami the ancient Action nerved up again for the boneAt of a correspondent who. being In posaesslon of a priat of Uo-gartb's picture of Columbus and the egg, wanted to know the meaning and the moral cf the picture Rather than endure this cny longer I will anw give the Colnmblun nccrct nway.

One day when I was a boy at school we hail for a reading lesson the story of Columbus rod the egg. In my class was a little Irish boy about my own age whose name was Jerry Ursdy, and when school was out for (noon Jerry said lo me: "Did ye mind that stltory about Columbus and the egg? bun: that'a not the wuy the thrlck was done a t all. nt oi l Come wid me and I'll show ye how Clumbus done I t " Now It so happened that Jerry's mother kept chickens, nnd when we reached the bouse bo bad no trouble In Anding a fresh egg. Firsl putting a clean plate on the tabic. Jerry took the egg and shook It violently for some seconds or nntil the yell: and the white were thor-onghly mixed, like a compound of milk and water. Thru, after holding the egg upright on the plate until the mix-ture Inside of It had settled quietly into the broad base of It, he withdrew his band nnd left the egg standing upright and alone. "There," said he, "that 's tbe way Columbus done I t " and I bare nn doubt il was, for I have often done tl myself that way, and anybody else can do I t My ob j t i l In correcting this bit of history Is to act Columbua right be-fore the world nnd to rescue him from Uie suspicion that bo w as Ignorant of the easy, sclrntlllc and purely mocbnni-cal solution of the egg problem. The reason why an egg will not stand on end Is that Its contenta are not balanced either In weight or place, but af ter they are thoroughly mixed tbe egg will easily recogaUe its own center of grav-ity and stand upright like a toy soldier which is made on the same principle.

tho rite nnd nbdotaen—a proceeding I t ha t made them laugh nil the more, and i brought dowr the r.wiuhos with In-1 creased vljor. I entreated and cursed by turns, tried bribery nnd nailery, begged for n resting npoll, nnd thn-ul-cnod death to the party of eonnplrators immediately 1 got loose, bnt all In vols. They flossed o c for n lime that seemed on age, ami only lot iac off when I was too exhausted to stand alone. Then 1 wna again enveloped In skins and blnnket.s when, it range us It may seem, 1 almof.t Iiatneiikitely fell Into a deep slumber, from which 1 did not awake nntil evening. When I did awake II was with a general .sense of soreness all over the outer QUO. but where was the ague7 (tone. Complexly cured, as well as Hie fever.

TVttllam Downey Is the grand old man of photographers In Ecgland. says the IV1 Mall lludget

lie began to practice his profession nearly forty y e a n ago. and during that long period he has photographed Km* perors and Kmprcsaos. Kings and Queens. Sultans, princes of the blood, prlnoessos of the blood, poors of tho realm, peoresscs of tho realm, soldiers and statesmen, men of Ictlera ond womea of letters, queens of beauty, private beautie*. and beauties of tho boards.

<)no of his great est SUCOOKSCS waa the smiling photo;^aph of tho Queen, taken twenty-four years ngu.

Indeed, Mr. D twney says this is hia thrf tTmirrf. for her Majesty on roost occasions assmaes a grave and solemn mein, as if tho lens was a dangerous weapon instoa l of a harmlons sclontlOo Instrument and II is. therefore, tho gravo and solemn mcin with which wo always endow the Queen. Every lover of % dog will be pleased to hear that It was dog Sharp, tbe collie on the chair, t ha t raised that smile to the Qoeon'a face. Sharp altogether declined to sit still but John Urown would stand no notuenso, anil, despite the presence of his mlstross. he gave tho dog a good shaking, " l ie won't sit. Drown," said tho Qnecn. "Uo won ' t your Majesty, l ie maun obey ye aad be c-iroplaisont like the rest of uv lie maun s i t " And after another t-haklng Sharp oa t and the Queen laughed to see such spo r t and Mr. Downey made a great h i t all becaase of Urown and Sharp. "Tbo Quocn." continued the veteran, "has done more U> promote photography than any one, for she has always been a great colloetir of photographs, though she does complain of their fading."

To-day all tlial is an red, and the portratU of the Queen r.re In enormona demand, though it is extrepioly didi-ult to se-cure a sitting. owing to the many calls upon her Majesty's time.

Badleal aad rCrrtmil Indian Itcmrd/ for Frvrr nod Ajuo.

After a week or ten days tho fever Willi which I bad been affileted abated aomewhat soys a writer In I'orest nnd Stream, and Poler, taking my doublc-butreled rifle by way o! armament and half a dozen bard bbcuit by way of grub, iravo notice of two days' absence, and, buckling lib blanket about blm, went off up the trail.

Late in the evening of tho second day, while 1 was lying on the bearskin with swimming brain and fevered brow, bo came back, but cot alone. Two strong, athletic squaws, carh toting a largo pack, wore h b companions, lie Inlro-duecJ them as "Old Ulaekblrd squaw and her gal; pooty young squaw—great medicine."

Tlic elder of the two was cboul as tough, leathery-looking a specimen of aboriginal uglioesa us I have ever fallen In with, nnd making due allow-ance for difference In age the dan-rbter waa tbo perfect model of her. They both cost their loads uneeremonlously aside, and the older proceeded a t onoe to business. Watcldng me closely aa she did to, she rolled a large handful of leaves In her hand untU they were par-tially pulvcrlxcd then passed them over to the younger squaw, who soon made a pint cf very bitter tea from them which 1 was told to drink. I managed to gulp It down, hot und bitter as It wna, und Uie old squaw then seized mo without oeromony, packed mo snugly In bearskin and blnnketa, after which aho and her daughter, wrapping their own blankets about them, lay down on elUicr side of me. crowding me In a manner more clou- than pleasant

My leathery bellea answered to help get up a copious -pemplration, which was just what they In tended; and when 1 awoke from tho ilrbt sound, refresh-ing sloop 1 had enjoyed for weeks i t was with a cool, clear he ait and limba free from pain.

With tlic rise of the nun the confound-ed ague began to threaten mc; and Mrs. Blackbird, with the help of her Interest-ing daughter, proceeded to take meas-ures for expelling It In a manner quite as novel and original as her treatment of fever. First, she undid a bundle of dirty-blue elotii, and look therefrom sev-eral bundles of neatly bound, minute twigs. 1 hud beard some liard stories of "whlppin' out the uger,' and smcllod a pretty extensive mice Immediately; b u t on the whole, concluded to go through, so I r.uKervd them to divest mo of my clothing and seize roc Annly by tbe wrists; aud I made no objection even when Mrs. Ulaekblrd began to ap-ply the swltehcs gently to the bare skin.

Uradually the blowa Increased In rapidity anil seventy; old Peter, who bad stood by as ••poctator a l Arst, stepped forward nnd seized a wrist (Irmly In each hand so suddenly tha t I had no lime to object and tho whipping Immediately beeumc cnergotio and gen-eral. Each of tho squaws, with a switch In cach band vied with tho other In rapidity of hitting; aud as tho aluggbh, torpid blood strove to dash with answering speed through tba tingling veins the pain lieeamo unen-durable. I hud resolved to bear all that Was asked of me in hopes of a radical cure, bat the t'lrtnro was too severe: and 1 ordered them to desist trying a t tho ssmc lime to wrench myself loose from Peter. They only laughed, and laid on the harder.
