There was but one in the town, and lift had
been put to vote there would have been Il ma
jority of elk to one for the removal of the groc-
gerry. The male portion had tried a little mo-
raj suasion, that is, they had said nothing to
him on the subject, but as he was getting very
Itch, bowed lower to him than to others that
were not so we'll of; and they had tried some
legal sausion, in the shape of couple of fines
of $50 each, which he paid very willingly for
the benefits he derived from his traffic. At last

and fifty. They divided themselves into twelve
committees of twelve each The first day a
committee visited him in body, and each of
the twelve gave him, IN turn, u temperance
lecture. He was rather taken aback at this
but thinking he could stand 1t as long as they
could, he was apparently unconverted. The
second day he was visited by similar COM
mittee, who gave him twelve more lectures
He stood this too, wondering what was to come
next. The next day third committee made
its appearance and were commencing their ra-
guments, when he interrupted them by asking
how many there were to come yet. In reply
he was told that twelve committees had been
formed, Of twelve WOMEN in each; ana wren n,

turn; the first committee would make second
visit, AMI so on in regular succession. "Well,"'
said the poor rum seller, ''you needn't 60 OH

did; and from that day the rum traffic was put
an end to in that town.

INTERESTING FACTS. Why have white wells
a tendency to promote sunburn and ireckels:
Because they increase the power Of the suns
light.
Why does a flannel covering keep man
warm in winter, and ice from melting in sum-
mers
Because it both prevents the passage Of heat
from the man, and to the ice.
Why does person with cold in the head,
catarrh from the eyes and nose, experience
more relief on applying to the face linen or
cambria handkerchief, than one made of cot
tom
Because the linen, by conducting, readily
absorbs the heat and diminishes the inhamma-
ton, while the latter, by refusing to give pas
sage to the heat, increases the temperature and
the pain.
Why is loose clothing warmer than such as
fits close;
Because the quantity of imperfectly conduct
ing air thus confined around the body, resists
the escape ofthe animal heat.
