SUGGESTIONS FOR BArHERs The following
suggestions to bathers have recently been is
sued by the Royal Humane Society of Lon
don, and are worthy of consideration:
Avoid bathing within two hours after q
meal.
Avoid bathing when exhausted from any
canse.
Avoid bathing when the body is cooling
after presperation: but battle when the body
is warm, provided no time is lost in getting
into the wates.
Avoid remaining into the water too long;
leave the water Immediately if there is the
slightest feeling of chilliness.
Avoid bathing altogether in the open air
if, after having been short time in the wa
ter, there is sense Of chilliness with numb
ness of the hands and feet.
The vigorous and strong may bathe early
in the morning on an empty stomach.
The young and those who are weak had
better battle three hours after meal the
best time for such is two or three hours after
breakfast.
Those who are subject to sudden attacks
of giddiness and faintness, and those who suf-
fer from diseases of the heart, should not
battle without first consulting their medical
adviser.

The average wear of the tracks of the rail-
roads, of the United States is estimated at
seven per cent, per annum. Taking the
length of the roads at AZ, 25o miles, the an
nual wear consumes sufficient iron to lay g.
s5T miles of track, or enough to lay road
from here to San Francisco. Ninety tons
are required for single track, so that $780,
IT'S tons of iron are used up annually by the
locomotives and the cars. With this great
wearing down of the track, no surprise should
be experienced on reading the Report of the
upon the Grand Trunk line from Montreal to
Boston. The cars do not travel as fast as
the stages, and freight train ran off the
track thirteen times in going over eight miles.

Death Of an Estimable Lady.


In the death of Mrs. Fannie f. Yule, wife
of John T. Yulc, who died ON the 5th inst.
society lost one of its brightest ornaments,
and this community, one of its most amiable
members. Endowed by nature with intellect
ual faculties of the highest order, and possess
ed of mild and gentle disposition, she was
beloved and esteemed by all who knew her.
The writer knew her. intimately and well,
from early childhood. Very early in life she
manifested those lovely traits of character,
SO peculiarly her own. Whether at home,
around the family fireside. or in the play
ground with her little companions, she was
always the same. Her ever smiling counten-
ance was as ray Of the brightest sunshine.
AS she grew to womanhood her noble quail
ties of mind and Heart became more fully de-
veloped and expanded Pure in all her thoughts
ard uprightin every act OF her life, she was
o model Of womanly Avirtue. In her last sick.
|ness which was long and painful, and with .
certainty that her disease would prove fatal,
she was always cheerful and pleasant. Per-
fectly unselfsh in her nature, she kept her
suffering to herself, rather than pain those
around her with her complaints. She was
ready and willing to go when the dread sum-
mons should come, and sorrowed only for
those she was to leave behind. a., l.,,. +.

A Good Wife. !.

In the eighty-fourth year of his age,
DR.. Calvin Chaplin wrote of his wife =
"My domestic enjoyments have been,
perhaps, as near perfection as the human
condition permits She's made my home
to me the pleasantest place on earth. And
now she is gone, my worldly loss is per-
feet" b E34omfaa % - 1staIqfsf Z
How many poor fellows would be saved
from suicide, the penitentiary, and the
gallows every year, had they been blessed
with such q wife! "She made my home
TO me the pleasantest place on earth"
What a grand tribute to that woman's
love, and piety, and common sense! Rath
er different was the testimony of an old
man, few years ago, just before he was
hing in the Tombs yard, in New York
Il didn't mean to kill my wife, but she
was very aggravating woman" Let
each wife inquire, "What am I?''
The above is excellent. We indorse
every word. A true wife, pure, patient,
trusting, able to weep or smile, as the
occasion may require, tears or JOY, is in
deed an angel And we are sure that
the light of many home has been put
cut forever by a wife whose brow was GOV;
cred over with darkness, and whose lips
were blistered over with tart words and
spitefulness. ~ ~ 10 .Eg
But then let us look on the other side.
A little counsel to men is not out of place.
The woman has long enough been made
the pack mule Let husbands enquire
too, NWhat am I?' It is no wonder that
some women are sharp and querulous.

Death of Bernhard Domschlxe

With sincere sorrow, we learn of the
death of Captain Bernhard Domschke,
the editor Of the Milwaukee Herold. He
was native of Saxony, and came to this
country in 1849. For time he was con
nected with the editorial department Of
the Boston Pionier, a German newspaper,
Removing to Milwaukee in 1861, he es-
tablished there few years later The

lished in the State Subsequently The
C0rsar' was discontinued, and after short
| time was revived under the name of The
AtJas. In those days there were but few
German Republicans in the State Mr..
Domschke was obliged to work hard, and
received but little for his lobor. A Ger
man Republican, moreover, at that time
was compelled tosacrifce much in social
way. He was almost prescribed by most
of his countrymen as political hereto, if
not something worse. But Domschke
was brave, true man, who recognized no
authority in such matters but his own
reason and conscience. What he believ-
ed was right he would stand by against
any odds. Early after the breaking out
Of the war, he entered the military serv.
ice, and was Captain of Co.. H., Goth
Wisconsin infantry The Atlas meanwhile
was discontinued At the battle of Get
tysburg he was taken prisoner, and was in
che hands of the rebels some twenty months
Suffering greatly from the hardships en-
dured at Libby and other rebel prisons.
The suffcrings and exposures which ne
endured at that time greatly impaired
his health, and implanted the seeds of
the disease which resulted in his death.
AT the close of the war, the Herold was
established by q joint stock association,
with the indefatigable Coleman as BUSH
ness manager and Capt. Domschke as chief
editor. The paper has been well managed
and has grown to be the best German
newspaper in the State. Since last win

such that he has been confined to his room
and he died at Milwaukee on Wednesday
morning. He leaves no relatives in this
country, but has mother living in Ores.

The war in Cuba begins TO as
sumo very sanguinary character.
The aSpaniards shoot their civilian
prisoners on the slightest suspicion
of their having given aid to the

that reaches the United States. The
Cubans are not slow to retaliate, and
thus the strife as it increases in in
