CHOKING THE SERVANT GIRL.-The
Fond du Lac COnlnlOnlOedLth, in record =
ing a petroleum accident recently, said it
was the duty of heads Of families to
"chokc off the hired girls from the habit
Of using the kerosene can to light the
fires with in the morning" The Demo-
cI'dt relates n sequel "a few mornings
after, a lady whose husband 10 mcr-
chant and takes the paper, heard a scuf-
fling in the kitchen, about the time fire
was being built, and opening the kitchen
door, found her husband with one arm
around the girls neck, and he was kiss
ing her and acting very queer for him.
She took him by one ear, and led him
into the bedroom, and asked him how
long this had been going on. lie got tho
paper and showed her the item, and
said the was only choking the girl so that
she couldn't use kerosene to light the
fire. His wife says that he can tell that to
the marines. This shows how great n
scuflle little fire kindleth, when people
take the paper"

Temperate and Incorporate.

We know of no better illustration of the
meaning of these words than that given
by Noah Webster, LII, D., whopronoun-
ces temperate man to be one who is
moderate in the indulgence of the ap-
petites and passions temperate in eating
and drinking" not subscribing to the
doctrine of total abstinence, but avoiding
extremes in the pleasures of the table.
The incorporate man he describes as
indulging to excess, or as being addicted
TO an excessive or habitual use Of spiritu-
GUS liquors"
The Insurance Agent says: Excess,
which is injurious to the health of the
person, and likely TO produce disease,
whether it is characterized by intoxica-
ton or not, is the intemperance which in
surance companies guard against. We
hold that a man is Incorporate when he
drinks 50 as 10 produce constitutional in
jury"
1t occasionally happens that there are
those whose natures necessitate extreme
measures, and that in order to be temper
ate they must exercise perfect abnegation,
while others can be moderate in the use
Of stimulants, and TO point that perhaps
is absolutely beneficial to their health.
1t has rarely been the case that total
abstinence has injured any one; at the
same time the use Of stimulants, wher
guided by discretion, has been found
equally harmless.

CoNvINCING A JuRY.-The Maitland
IN. S. W. Mercury gives an account OF
striking mode Of forcing jury to agree
The foreman was in favor Of acquttal
but the other eleven jurors were obstinate,
The jury were locked up all night, and in
the morning they were ushered into the
box at their own request as soon as the
Court opened. Eleven Of them presented
the appearance Of badly-crushcd oranges
after mildew had set in, and the eyes of
most Of them were ccchymosed. On be-
ing asked ii they were agreed, they gave
a verdict Of "not guilty" The forcible
argument used by the foreman had pre-
vailed upon them to come to an agree
ment with him.

IT is by no means certain that because
men cannot rival the birds, they can
never fly at all. Mr. Charles Spencer, in
England, has met with marked success
lie has been able to raise himself, (by the
action Of the wings attached to his arms
and to sustain flight for distance of one
hundred and twenty feet. The material
Of which the wings were made was toe
fragile for actual fight, and the wicker
work to which they were attached, fitted
SO tightly round the body as to cause pain
and obstruct his movements. The first
a.ial voyage, as distinguished from aerial
drifting in balloons, will one day be ac-
complished, according to the opinion OF
observers in Europe and the United
States.

good blackguard story? All in favor

minutes, when some incautious individual
broke out with, "Say, where is that

" | did not intend to tell you any such

SELDOM do we see a greater truth more
beautifully expressed than this from the
N. Y. Nation: Refined homes are the
end Of civilization. All the work Of the
world-the railroading, navigating, dig
ging, delving, manufacturing inventing,
teaching, writing, fighting, are done, first
of all to secure each family to the quite
of its own hearth, and, secondly, to sur
round as many as possible with grace
and culture and beauty. The work of
all nations for five thousand years is rep
resented in the difference between wig
wan and a lady's parlor."

Never inquire thou Of the editor for
