The Value OF a NeMspaper.

THE following is the experience of q
mechanic concerning the benefits of a
newspaper:
Ten years ago lived in a town in In
diana. On returning home one night, for
l am carpenter by trade, saw a little
girl leave my door, and asked my wife
who she was. She said Mrs. Harris had
sent her after their newspaper, which my
wife had borrowed. As we sat down to
tea my wife said to me, by my name;
81 wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home"
II would like to do So" said |, "but
you know owe payment on the house
and lot. 1t will be all l can do to meet
it,"
She replied: "If you will take this
paper, l will sew for the tailor to pay
for it,"
subscribed for the paper; it came in
due time to the shop. While resting one
noon and looking over it, l saw an adver.
tisement of the County Commissioners to
let bridge that was TO be built put in
bid for the bridge, and the job was
awarded to me, on which / cleared $500,
which enabled me to pay for my house
and lot easily, and for the newspaper. II
| had not subscribed for the newspaper,
would not have known anything about
the contract and could not have met my
payment on my house and lot. A me
chanic never loses anything by taking a
newspaper.

INJECTION in the Air.

At this season the vegetable world takes a new
lease Of life; but to the sensitive and delicate
members Of the human family II is time Of dan
ger and often Of great suffering. The moisture
which rises from the earth and hangs suspended
over II in the form Of morning and evening msts
and fogs, holds in solution, so to speak, the me-
phitic elements which produce fever and ague,
remittent fevers, rheumatism, and many painful
nervous disturbances, and which aggravate dys-
pepsia, biliousness and all minor affections OF the
stomach and the bowels. This, therefore, Is a
critical period Of the year, season when the rem
ovating refreshing and purifying operation Of the
mightiest Of all vegetable tonics and Alternatives,

Shall We Paint Shingles =!

LYsANDER w. BABBTTT, of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, writes as follows to the
Rural Neic Yorker.
Seventeen years ago | built good
sized farm house. Three years after
ward added to it kitchen, wood house,
milk room, smoke house and tool room.
painted the roof Of the first when built.
When | came to make the addition, my
master builder, whom | considered as
architectural authority" advised me
not 10 have the roof painted, and l took
his advice. The shingles on the roof of
the first part built are as sound to-day as
they were the day they were put on. The
shingles on the last part built, which were
not painted, are more than half rotten,
and the roof leaks badly. The roof not
painted, is covered with dirt and some
thing like moss.
The painted roof is smooth and has no
lint upon it. The lint on the unpainted
roof holds the water and causes it to back
up under the shingles and rot them,
while on the painted roof the water runs
off freely. Both roofs are of the same
| pitch, yet the conductor from the painted
roof commences discharging water; in
moderate showers, nearly "a minute before
the one from the roof not painted. From
| the foregoing facts l conclude that it is
/ best to paint shingle, as well as all other
roofs.
| 1t is proper to remark that l have had
| the roof of the first-named building painted
twice, at a cost of $50 each time-$60.
1t will cost me $l20 to put on new
roof Hence | conclude that two paint
| ings, costing $50, is worth as much as a
new roof costing $120.

Smau.POX Flies.

AN almost incredible story comes from
the Indian Ocean. The ship Althea
which had been on three years cruise in
the Atlantic, Pacific, Southern and Indian
oceans arrived at Melbourne, Australia,
with only twenty-eight men, her original
crew having been forty-fve men. The
rest had died. Capt. Arlington, the
skipper OF the ship, told terrible story
of suffering and death. He said that in
November last when the vessel was near
Madagascar, a dense black cloud was dis
covered approaching the ship. They
Immediately prepared for a storm, such
an one as often happens in that latitude.
The cloud came on with a terrible roar
ing, and it proved to be a gigantic swarm
of black flies, which poured upon the
ship like an avalanche. They stung the
men to madness, and loaded the ship
down until she came near laundering
After some hours of this horror the
plague was blown off by mighty wind
that swept down from the Red Mountains.
Sailors are superstitious, and they began
to be mutinous after this event The
captain pushed on, however, regardless
of the remonstrances of his men, across
the Mozambique Channel, seeing no more
of the flies until near Sofala, when they
ran lOr udy through u routing mass OF
these insects that completely covered the
surface of the sea, and filled the air with
a loathsome stencil. Eight of the men
took sick and five of them died covered
with pustules resembling those of small
pOx. At last the vessel reached Sofala
and found the inhabitants suffering from
the most malignant type of small pox,
and dying in great numbers. The ply
sicians held that the disease had been
propagated by these flies. The Althea
fled from the stricken shores; more men
died, others went crazy and threw them
selves overheard, and the vessel plowed
on towards the Comoro islands through
masses of rotting flies. The Comoro
islands seemed to be free from the pesti-
lence and the wasted crew recuperated
there. On leaving there the voyage to
Melbourne was constant battle with
flies in the air, their noisome stencil on
the sea, and all sorts of diseases on board
the vessel. Egypts plague of flies in the
days of Moses could have been no worse
than this

The Key TO the Mystery.

To MOST people the mind of child is
an unsolved riddle, to some people a
riddle unsolvable. Most of the bad man
agement of children comes from lack
of understanding. The people who are
cruel to children, and the people who
spoil children, are generally those who
know nothing about them.
And it avails little to tell people to en-
deavor to know children. They do not
know how to begin to know them. A
man cannot set himself to study child
as an intellectual problem. Childhood
will not be analyZed as a botanst an
alyZes flower 1t is not to be deciphered
like an inscription or resolved like a
problem in algebra. The man who
would investigate child in coldly in
tellectual way, will find that the child
yields no result to all his patient think
ing. Not by that door can he enter
The one word that solves the enigma
is sympathy. We all have precious bits
of childhood left in our natures, and by
holding to these threads we penetrate the
labyrinth aud make map of it. 1t is
only by trying to feel like a child that we
are able TO understand him. 1t is only
the man who can play with children that
ever comes to comprehend them. The
pCOPiO VIM ldl Ou tilC DdCh anu
call them little dears," are not the peo-
pie who know anything about the little
dears, or indeed who are likely to find out
anything about them The kind parson
who says My dear children" at the be-
ginning of his address, very often under
stands nothing at all about what is going
on under the curly locks of the little blue,
eyed boy who is pinching his neighbor or
chewing a spit-ball. But if the dominic
had cherished his own sympathy for
children, if he would even yet spend half
an hour of each evening in an edifying
romp with his own or somebody's chill
dren, he would not find it so hard to
understand his audience. If the father
who does not know what to do with his
unruly little boy would play jack-stones
with him on the cellar-door he would
soon find out.
For there is one key, and but one key,
to the mystery of childhood, and that is
sympathy. And it is not knowledge
alone that is gained by sympathy, but in
fiuence. By the quickest intuition the
child detects sympathy. People may love
and do love children without sympathy
1t is sympathy that brings return. Love
for childhood without sympathy is like
the passion of a dumb man. Hearth and

A Remarkable Canary.

ONE of the most remarkable instances
of endurance and sagacity in the ornitho-
logical line is at present to be seen at
South Halsted street, in the shape of an
elderly canary that has now reached the
age Of twelve years, and is still us spirited
a songster as he was ten years ago. What
is more surprising in this wee bit of mel
ody is the fact that it has been stone blind
for two years past, and CLOCKS down
with contempt on its younger mates at
their dearth of music, and still MARBLES
its delicious music from his own "song-
book" with volume enough to compen-
safe for their shortcomings.
When darkness first came upon the lit
tie fellow he experienced much difficulty
in locomotion, and was constantly coming
in contact with the wires of the cage, or
with the perches thereof By degrees his
birdship was taught caution, and now he
is perfectly sure-footed. He moves about
with a method wonderful to observe. On
going from perch to perch, he climbs
along the wires, at each step putting out
the foot as carefully as the blind man his
cane, and when he reaches the desired
position he tunes up with volubility as II

complishment.

JUST TAKEN HIS BTTTERs.- heard a
seedy-looling individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark to brother soaker
that he had "just had his bitters, but he
did not mind taking another nip" His
remark suggested a train of reflection.
How was it, we asked ourselves, that the
word ''bitters" had grown to be synonym
for gin, whisky, rum and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied indis-
cr.minately. Bitters, we reasoned, sug-
gested the idea of healthful tonic, not
of poisonous stimulant; something in
vigorating to the system, not an alcoholic
irritant, full of fusel oil, producing pres.
ent intoxication and intimate insanity,
idiocy, or premature death. Moreover,
our idea of bitters was totally irreconcila-
bic with "gin cocktails" rum punches"
and "brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison. This
was bitter-sweet with vengeance. We
mentioned this problem to friend. He
solved it by eXclaiming: "Why, don't
you know that most of these bitters ad-
vertised as remedies are only drains in
disguise? Topers know it, if you do not
must make one exception, however" he
added, "and that's DIR. WALKER'E CALI

CURED throughout the day Close to my
own elevated position on beer barrel in
Hyde Park was tall but slender lime
tree, ill-fitted to sustain the weight of any
full-grown spectator, and protected ny a
wire guard from any such assault; but as
the time drew on for the arrival of the
procession even this coigne of vantage
was seized upon. A London rough ran
at it, and began, unmindful of its green
spring shoots, to swarm up it as Zealously
as though it had been greasy pole with
a leg of mutton at the top for prize.
"Come d0,cn," cried the voice of au-
thority; You are spelling the young

in sarcastic apology; and up he went,

cried the policeman.
MOT if knows it, no, not till ! have

he spoke with impunity, for the tree could
not have borne so much as bird besides
the weight it now carried, much less a
