A BRAVE IRISH GIRL--Several women
were bathing at Nahant, lately, when one
was carried out by the sea beyond her
depth, and after screaming for assistance,
suddenly went down. One of her friends
close by, not knowing the depth of the
water, went to try and save her, and she,
too, as quickly disappeared. A young
woman residing in the family of Dr.. Milf
fin, at Nahant, named Bridget Mary o.
Toole Cher name is given, to her praise, in
full, for it is worthy of record), at great
risk, instantly swan out to them, and
after hard struggle brought them into
shoal water-having her own bathing
dress almost torn from her, and being
twice drawn under the water herself -
Those who witnessed the scene at once
reported the facts to the Humane Society,
and the girl is to be presented with q
medal for her heroism and humanity.

No MONEY FOR DoUNDERING ROD.
At parish meeting in one of the towns
in the interior Of Pennsylvania, where a
new meeting house had just been erected,
the question was agitafed with respect to
having lightning rod put up. Opinions
were freely lnterchanged, and the project
seemed to meet with general favor, until
an Influential and wealthy old German
thus let himself swing, giving utttr1nce TO
n rather novel statement, one not III ac~
cordance with the generally received oPin-
ION of the established laws Of Mature and
Providence
'Now, gentlemens, tells you vat l
links. l links we hash beens to much

tollars more as to build a church for te
Lord, and next Sunday we gives it to him,
and if he will dounder down his own house

gives no vote nor monish for douudering

This madam IN pa,ro speech proved a
settler of the question, tie enterprise was
abandoned, the meeting was adjourned
sine die, and the worthy Pensioners har-
monized beautifully over glass of larger

we own billion and eight hundred mil

In Florida we still possess seventeen and

hundred acres unappropriated; in Missouri

seven million acres the same amount in
Louisiana in California one hundred and
six millions of acres, SO that that State
really owns only about one eighth of her

any land claim TO State sovereignty.
Kansas, for example, belongs more than
half to the United States, and Mississippi,

SuoRr RULE FOR MEASURING GRAIN.
An exchange says: 1t is convenient to
farmers and choppers to have All easy and
correct rule by which TO measure corn in
cribs. Here is one: Having leveled the
corn in the crib, measure lie length,
breadth, and depth, and multiply them
together, and deduct from the product
one fifth; and you have the number of
bushels in the ear. For shelled corn take
one half Of this. To be strictly.correct,
add half bushel for every one hundred.
Farmers who are fond of cyphering can
test the correctness Of this rule by taking
1928 solid inches for foot, and 2,159
inches in bushel, and see that the latter
is nearly one fifth larger than the former.

an immediate cure for in-growing nails
Put small piece of tailOw in a spoon,
and heat 1t over lamp until it becomes
very hot, and drop two or three drops
between the nail and granulation. The
effect Is almost magical. Pain and ten
derness are at once relieved, and in few
days the granuIations all go, leaving the
diseased parts dry, so as 10 admit of being
pared away without any Inconvenience
The operation causes little if any pain, if
