their roads in safety, the awful crash OF an

SUMNER SHowBRs.-Summer showers
frequently overtake persons and "wet
them to the skin y it is then safer to
walk steadily and rapidly on, until the
clothes become dry again, than to stop
under shelter and remain there still un-
til the storm is over. If home is reach
ed while the clothing is yet wet, take
some hot drink instantly, pint or more !;
go to the kitchen fire, remove every gar
ment, rub the whole body with coarse
towel or flannel, put on wooden under
clothing, get into bed, wrap up warm.
ard take another hot drink then go to
sleep, if at night, if in the daytime, get
up in an hour, dress and be active for
the remainder of the day. Suppose you
sit still, in the damp clothing in few
minutes chilliness is observed, the cold
strikes il" and next morning there is
violent cold or attack of pleurisy, or
pneumonia, which if not fatal in week
often requires months and weary years to
get rid of it. The rule is, if the cloth
ing gets wet, change instantly, or work
or walk actively, briskly, until perfectly
dry.-HaHs Journal of Health.

DRINKING IN SUMMER.-The longer
person can put off drinking a glass of
water on hot summers day, the better
it will be for him for if be drinks large
ly early in the day, the thirst will be in
creased, with an uncomfortable sense of
fullness, large perspiration, increased Ii
ability to colds, with a debilitated con-
dition of the system.
In taking a glass of water or other
cold drink, it is better to take but sin
gle swallow at time, removing the
glass from the lips for few seconds !;
thus the thirst will be quenched with
half the amount of water, and danger is
avoided of sudden prostration. Half a
dozen swallows thus taken will quench
the thirst more completely than twice
the amount if taken continuously with
out removing the glass from the lips.
If person is very thirsty, chewing
Jumps of ice is safer, better and more eff
tective than five times the amount in the
form of cold water If very warm, it is
safer to hold the glass for minute or
two encircled with the fingers and palm
of the hand. This cools the blood lit
tie, and at the same time tempers the
water.-HaU's journal Of Health.

A Big GUN-Whether considered as
big weapon of terrible power, or a
simple as specimen of skillful aud sue
cessful forging, the 80 ton Frasher can
non at Woolwich, England is without
parallel. OF extraordinary strength
and proportions, and withal SO carefully
finished this magnificent gun says Ma
ture, is a masterpiece. Cannon OF larger
dimensions have, it is true, been produced
capable actually of delivering heavier
projectile than the Woolwich weapon,
but none of them are to be in any way
compared with this, either in respect to
battering power or length Of range. That
the gun is, moreover, not merely show
production, as was the case with the mon
ster Krupp cannon, but really service
able and efficient firearm, is shown by its
endurance of the servere test to which
was subjected as proof 90 this occasion
the 700 pound projectile was thrown
from the gun by the enumerous charge
of 13O pounds of npowder-the larg-
est in fact that has ever been safely con.
sumed id any firearm-the explosion be-
ing without the slightest iujarlous effect
upon the steel-bore or surrounding
wrought iron which constituted the shot
issued forth at the terrible velocity of
1870 feet per second and after travelling
some fifty yards, buried itself in the butt
of loose earth to a depth of thirty-three
feet.

A HINT TO GAMBLERS" What a
noisy world this isl croaked an old
frog, as he squatted on the margin of the
pool.
"Do you hear those geese how they
scream and hiss? What do they do it
for2"
"Oh just to amuse themselves" an
swered little fieid-mouse.
Presently we shall have the owls
hooting; what is that for ?"
"It is the music they like the BEST .
said the mouse.
"And those grasshoppers, they can't
90 home without grinding and chipping,
why do they do that?
"Oh . they're so happy they can't help
it." said the mouse
You will find excuses for all. be-
lieve you don't understand music, so you
like the hideous noises"
Well, friend, to be honest with you,',
said the mouse, / don't greatly admire
any of them, but they are all sweet to
my ears, compared with the constant
croaking of frog"

the American revolutionary war, ordered
thanksgiving to be kept through the
kingdom. A noble Scatch divine, in
the presence of bis majesty, inquired,
"for what are we to give thanks THAT
your majesty has lost thirteen of his best
provinces ~ The king answered, "No!"

majesty has lost 100000 lives of your
subjects i'll the contest ?' mo, mol" said
the king. rs it, then, that we have ex-
pended and lost hundred millions of
money, and for the defeat and tarnish

then, is the object of the thanksgiving ?"
'Oh, to give thanks that is no worse"

evening with Judge Treat, near neigh

room became too trying to his restless
nature, and he interrupted the game re-
peatedly with, Let's go home, father"

moments but soon broke the silence again.

S'sohhi ooSStP VI AioTocc oTceicy.
Mr. McDermott of the Jersey City
Herald, in his personal gossip of New
York editors, speaks of Horace Greeley
Of the Tribune. Mr.. Med. says:-Mr-
Greeley, early in his life went to work
lar Mr.. West. setting type on the Poly
glot Testament Mr. West didn't ike
his appearance, and told the foreman of
the office, "for heavens sake discharge
that stupid looking fellow" But Hor-
ace set good proof, and was retained.
He was the butt of the printers in the
office. They called him ''the Ghost"
The printers devil used to play tricks on
him. But they all borrowed his money
as soon as he earned it. OF course he new
er was paid back. What did such sleepy
looking fellow want with money anyhow"
was the borrowers argument.
On the 10th of April, 1S4l, appeared
the first number OF the Tribune. Mr..
Gregory loaned Greeley and McElrath
$1,000 to start it. 1t printed 5000 and
sold 600 MIR. Greeley says he had hard
work TO give the balance away. He ex-
pended the first week 1892 The receipts
wele S92 He created sensation, and
he was at once dubbed "the philosopher"
Beach of the Sun tried to injure him by
forcing newsboys to stop selling the Trib-
une. Greeley exposed the trick of his
paper, and the people rushed to his as
sistance. and filed his columns full of
advertisements. The first issue of the
Tribune, Greeley made up the paper and
stayed in the Office TILL morning.
The compositors were always playing
tricks upon Mr.. Greeley. They were
playing penny-ante one afternoon in the
composing room. There was hole in
the floor dire>ty over Greeley's head.
One printe said to another that he
would bet him a drink, he could drop
his tobacco juice through the hole with
out touching the wood. The bet was ac-
cepted. The stream of tobacco juice fell
on Greeeey's bald head. He felt Of it
and looked at his fingers. Terrible
swearing was heard coming up stairs.
The printers grabbed their coppers and
hid. They watched Greeley. He had
both fists clinched. He was showing his
armsin and out, striking imaginary blows.
II can lick the man who spat on my
head he shouted as he searched around
the office to fEd theoffender. He didn't
find him. He took a piece of pa per from
the floor, gave his head an angry rub, and
walked down stairs, swearing fearfully.
When the heating pipes took the place
of stoves in the Tribune office, Greeley
entered one cold morning. He placed
his exchanges beside him on chair,
took off his boots, warmed his fingers, and
then placed his feet to bake little On
the heating pipes. After remaining in
this cozy position an hour, somebody
entered the room, with the remark, "Mr.
Greeley, We are all freezing. think
there is something wrong with the pipes.
There hasn't been any steam on to day"
Greeley glanced at his feet, pulled on his
boots, and never uttered word.

Like as the waves make toward the pebbled shore
SO do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In seQuent toll all forward do contend.
Nativity once in the main of light
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crowned
Crooked eclpses against his glory flight,
And time that gave. doth now his gift confound
Time doth transhx the flourish set on youth
And delyes the parallels ON beautys brow
Feeds on the varieties of natures truth
And nothing stands save fol his scythe to NOW.

Hark. how the birds do sing

All creatures have their JOY, and man hath his.
Yet If we rightly measure,

So must he sip and think

He may attain to after be is dead.

A FASHIONABLE REvoLUTIoN.-A
charming way to ring out an old fashion
and ring in new was adopted by some
young ladies of Berlin with reference to
their chignon. The Es tional spirit now
at white heat in Germany is, if anything,
more ardent among the women than the
men, as indeed it always has been and
will be the world over. So the fair pat
riots resolve to reflect more of the Ger
man nationality in their dress, and aban.
don and henceforth ignore French fash
ions, but more especially the really odi-
Gus chignon. Accordingly, sixty young
ladies, daughters of the wealthiest citi-
zens, who we're selected to welcome the
returning army at Brandenburg gate,
had meeting in which the question OF
their attire was settled. 1t was that OF
Margaret in Kaulbach's sketch of her
first meeting with Faust, which has been
thoroughly identified with the German
maiden IN all art, and especially famil-
iarized of late by the Margueritas +" OF
the stage. Two plaits of their own hair
hanging down the back was to be indis-
pensable, and they were pledged mutu-
ally, and to the municipal authorities,
ON no account to use false hair. These
sixty wealthy young ladies ought GER
tainlv to be more than a match for one
empress, and she not so much of an en-
press as she was, and they will receive
the congratulations of the entire world
If they carry the day against false hair.

At last, perhaps, IN moment of less
virtue or unusual irritability, the hus-
band, by word or deed, sights some lit
tie personal attention, or negleots one of
the established ceremonies of love. Poor
vile feels as she could not survive it.
1t is poisoned arrow into her tender
heart; a wound that may need long years
to heal. She is disappointed her love
is not appreciated; and in secret she
grieves over u hidden sorrow. If she is
foolish enough to complain, and to claim
as duty what TO be real or desirable
must be purely spontaneous-an this is
the folly of too many-she makes ruin
Gus mistake. The good man has not
left off loving her. True, the fever is no
longer on him; but he loves her with all
his heart in his own quiet way. Is she
not his wife, secure in his affections his
trusted, bosom frend-and what more
would she have? When she accuses him
of neglect, he is vexed, and does not tlike
it. If she continue the annoyance she
will make herself disagreeable, and may,
when it is too late, discover the awful diff
ference between the real and imaginary
loss Of her husbands love.
But let not the prosecuted husband be
too hard let him remember that he may
be more or less to blame; that his i'm
Fortunate wife may be but demanding
the love and attention he, in his folly,
taught her to expect, and often assured
her she should have. A change in the
fashion of love-making would be great
blessing. Woman are spoiled by the ad-
alteration they receive before marriage,
and both they and their husbands have to
eat the bitter after-fruit. Besides. this
desperate wooing is quite Unnecessary
For long time yet, young ladies will
have no choice but marry, whether flat
tered or not. And they would make
much better and more coDtented wives if
instead of Intoxicating them with wild,
sweet rawlings are at least insane, if
not insncere-men would treat them
from the first with something approach
ing the quiet kindness end affection that
their less emotional constitution will en-
able them to continue unto the end.
