YOUNG LADY WHO WANTED TO SHOW
HER AGILITY. ..

One of those annoying yet ludicrous
accidents, which will happen in the best
of families, occurred on Sunday, not over
thousand miles from this city. A dry
goods clerk had an engagement to take
his lady-love out buggy-riding. Early
in the morning he appeared before her
fathers door with one of those spider
like vehicles which are probably construc-
ted with view of asccrtainihg how light
buggy can be made. The lady is sweet
sixteen. She is full of life, fun and frol-
ic. and is decidedly emboapoint, weighing
about one hundred and forty-fve pounds.
AS the young gentleman drove up his
lady love was standing on the top step at
the front door with her venerable father,
who had his gold specs elevated on his
forehead, in order to get distant view
of his future son in law.
Adoras jumped out of the buggy, pre-.
paratory to assisting the young lady in,
but she suddenly took one of those
strange freaks to which the dear sex are
subject. 90, The buggy was standing about
four feet from the step upon which stood
the young lady. She probably wanted
to convince her lover that she was not
clumsy, and thought this would be a
good time to show her agility. Be that
as it may. she gave a jump and landed
in the centre of the buggy. If she had
stopped there. all would have been we'll
but, alas the thin boards of the bottom
of the buggy. unable to stand the pressure
gave way, and the young lady continued
her descent. There was piercing scream
plunging horse, with young man hold
ing to him; bundle of muslin in the
buggy, and two little gaiter boots point
ing to within six inches of the ground
under it,
Pater familias rushed to the rescue
and detached the horse from the buggy
He then got up on one side, young mar
on the other, and they attempted to rais'
the young lady up. "Oh, stop! stop
you are killing me p she cried. Tit
boards had broken in the centre, and tn,
long sharp splintcrs extended downwards
and when they attempted to raise th'
young lady out of her predicament thes'
sharp splinters would catch her. The ole
man comprehended the situation in a mo
ment. He told the young man to &c
down and break the splinters off. YOUNG
lady screamed 20, DON'T" and younl
man wouldn't At this stage of the pro
ccedings practical neighbor came u
with batchet, and the young lady wa
soon extricated from her unpleasant stu
alton, and disappeared behind from
door.-Hiie. Ledger. .aH

are tired.
We were tired.
And took sitting posture.
The captain ordered us up.
We said tIpoes - .-

We have since learned to say "pass"
was asking him to pass the ball to you
and we had no more than spoken the
mysterious word before the ball was max
ing directly for us. lae4.
We don't like to have things thrown at
US, and not wishing to get hit, we played
strategy and vacated the base, letting the
ball 60 where it had mind to.
Then our position was changed again,
and were sent to catch.
We did better here. ..
Catching everthing-but the ball.
Caught the devil from the captain and
all sorts of mean and low remarks from
the outsiders.
Spectators should never be permitted
on base ball field.
They most always get up more base
bawl than stbe players. Which amt
right. ne
After a while our side got in, and. we
had a strike. IN. B-We had been
receiving strikes ever since we commone-
ed.)
Now we had chance to punish the
ball.
Took the cue in our hand. and when
the ball came up we made for it and hit
it.
1t flew off and caromed on the red head
of the umpire, who said-"Fow-owl-l !
This made us mad, as we were no fowl,
and told him he was no gentleman to be
calling us any such names:
But he didn't pay any attention to it,
and the ball came by again. This time
we hit it and run.
AS we reached the first pillow and
were about setting down to rest, the boss
yelled GU: : "Run your base"
This was an insult, we were bound tc
resent, and putting our hands in our
pockets we took up a position among the
the spectators, determined not to play
ball with any one who called us foul and
base.
We were afterwards induced to play
umpire some, however.
This disgusted most every one, includ.
ing US. .r.g aeT
All sorts of good things were said about
us, such as: "Partial cuss. ;rE
Don't know nothin' about rules,
"Darred old fool" and such like compli
ments, pleasant to sensitive people.
The amusement part of the game is al
with the spectators iN
We don't know where the health is, un

.sprained ankles, and stiffjoints general

FEATHER PILLows.-If person sleeps
upon the back, no pillow is needed. II
one sleeps upon the eide, pillow should
be used thick enough to support tie head
in direct line with the body. No more.
Curled hair is one of the best materials
for pillows Feathers should never be al
lowed about the bed in any form. For
pillows they are especially injurious, as
they partly surround the head aud keep
it overheated, which weakens the scalp
and produces tendency to falling out of
the hair, congestion of the head and head
ache. Then again, the effete ,emapations
that are always being thrown off from
feathers. are taken directly into the lungs
with the inspired air.
