Change Of Color.

Sudden shocks occurring to human
beings have frequently changed the
color of their hair from black to white
in single night A physician of Ber-
lin-a strong, healthy, and less than
middle-aged man-sent his wife and one
daughter to spend last summer at a
watering-place. The day that he ex-
pected letter informing him of their
arrival, there came one saying that his
daughter had been taken sick very sud-
denly and was already dead. The shock
was terrible, and instantly his hair be-
came entirely gray. He had to visit
some patients that same afternoon, and
they scarcely recognized him. Their
peculiar actions revealed the change to
him. The other case was of man 35
years old, living in the Netherlands.
He was one day passing the canal in
Rotterdam, where he saw a child strug-
Cling in the water. He plunged in and
brought it to land, but it was already
dead by the time he has rescued the
body. Bending over it to try to restore
life, he discovered that the dead child
was his own son. The blow, so sudden
and unexpected, and coming upon him
when he himself was so much exhaust
ed, turned his hair entirely gray, and
left him scarcely recognizable.

Managing a Husband.

A Pennsylvania lady has most ro-
mantle and ingenious way of managing
the gentleman SO happy as to be her
husband. Exasperated by her persist
ent conversation, he ungallantly boxed
her ears the other day. The wretched
woman cast but one lingering, reproach-
full glance upon her lord and fed, sim
ply observing as she departed that the
briny deep should wash away the insult.
Leaving behind her everything most
dear to her-the home of her married
life full of beautiful and cherished
memories this heart broken woman
rushed frantically to the canal, and,
with one parting sigh, threw in large
stone with mighty splash. Then she
went and hid herself in the bushes and
giggled, while her husband and twenty
other men hurried up, with horror de-
picted on their countenances, and Wild
ly dragged the canal for her body.
When the injuredwife became convinced
that the wretch had suffered enough,
she appeared from behind the bushes
and led him home, resigned and will
ing victim.

The Patrons of Husbandry.

Although the order of the Patrons of
Husbandry has been in existence some
SIX years, not much has been heard
about it in the New England and Mid
die States until quite recently. The
first "grange was organized in 1868,
in Itasca, Minnesota, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. o. H. Kelley, the Secretary
of the present National Grange, and one
of the most active members Of the order.
During that year, eleven oranges OF
sub-societies were organized, and since
that time they have been steadily in
creasing with rapidity entirely unpre-
cedented in the history of popular or
CARNATIONS. Over six thousand oranges
are now in working order in the States
and in Canada, with membership that
must number very nearly two millions.
There are over thousand societies in
Iowa, over four hundred in Illinois, sew
eral in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey, in
Vermont, and at this moment deputies
from the National Grange are lecturing
and organizing subordinate and State
oranges in various places. Candidates
for membership must be sixteen years
old. if women, and eighteen, if men
otherwise both sexes stand on terms of
absolute equality throughout the seven
degrees. 1t is a secret society, and its
organization is very elaborate and COM
plete, embracing three ranks, viz. !:
subordinate oranges, State oranges,
and the National Grange, having head
quarters in Georgetown, d. G. Four
degrees are conferred in the subordinate
oranges the fifth in State oranges; the
seventh degree is composed of elected
members of the National Grange, who
have served one year therein. 1t has
charge of the secret work of the order.

all officers of the National Grange"

Hoist With His Own Petard.

Yesterday, James NJ. Hinchey was ac-
cidentally shot and seriously wounded
by continuance which he had set to
entrap burglars. His place has been
robbed twice lately, an entrance having
been effected through the back door.
At this point he placed the trap, which
consisted of large pistol attached TO
the door. A wire extended FROM the
door to the pistol, and was so arranged
that when the door was opened the
trigger was pulled and the weapon ex-
ploded. During the day the wire was
generally detached. 1t appears that he
went out yesterday morning, and did
not return till after twelve o'clock. He
went in the front way, and after work
ing awhile, thought he would open the
back door to get little more air. He
did this, thinking he had disarranged
the apparatus, but the explosion that
followed showed him that the machine
was in full operation and ready for all
corners. The pistol had been heavily
charged, the missiles consisting of three
bullets, two of which took effect in the
left side of the unfortunate man, the
other striking the door. Medical aid
was at once summoned, and it was
found that the balls had penetrated to a
considerable depth, and it was not
thought advisable to probe the wounds,
which were in the direction of the heart

NOxiOus Gases i'm Wells.

Lives are frequently lost by noxious
gases in wells. This may be prevented
by the adoption of the following very
simple means Take some pieces of car
pet, or common sacks, and make them
up into loose bundle, nearly as large
as the area of the we'll. Inclose in it
brick to give weight, and attach to the
bundle a rope of sufficient length to
reach to the bottom of the well. Throw
this bundle down the well, and haul it
up again as quickly as possible. Repeat
this operation rapidly for ten minutes,
and the atmosphere of the well will be-
come quite obnoxious, as may be
proved by letting down a lighted candle.
The bundle, as is easily understood,
carries before it quantity of fresh air
from the surface, and this, of course,
displaces the foul and dangerous air
from the bottom.

Terrible Storm on the Coast OF Nova
Scotia and the Island Of Cane Breton.

Dispatches just received from Sydney, Cape
Breton state that terrible storm of wind and
rain has been raging there since Monday, the
greatest known at Cape Breton for years. All
the harbors are filed with vessels. Thirty
vessels were driven ashore at Sydney. The
farmers have suffered heavily. Many build
ings were blown down, and the crops
throughout the country destroyed, and bridges
washed away. The storm commenced at noon
on Monday, blowing fiercely from the south
east. The wind changed suddenly to east,
sending tidal wave ten feet high sweeping
toward the docks and wharves. The wind
was blowing frightfully. Among the vessels
ashore at Sydney are the Violent, Matilda B.
Hunter, Nancy, r. McRae, Maggie, d. Grant.
Euxine, Zephyr and Alpha. These are total
wrecks. The bark Electra. dismasted, has
been on the bar at the entrance to Sydney har-
Dor flying flag of distress all day. The
schooner Case is ashore unchanged. Fifty
sail vessels are at Cow Bay, all ashore. The
Cunard steamship Alpha, from Sydney, put in
there for harbor with steam up ana anchors
down. and succeeded i'll holding. The break
water at Cow Bay is bsdly damaged Bellies
wharf is destroyed The destruction to ship
ping in the bay is frightful.

A New Press which Prints $4,000
Papers an Hour.
london Cor. New York world.I

For fifteen years Mr.. Hoe, and Mr..
Conquest, the London manager of Mr..
Hoes works, have been endeavoring TO
perfect Perfecting Printing Ma
chine, and they have at last succeeded.
The last difficulty which stood in their
way-the perfect delivery of the printed
sheets from the press-was only recently
surmounted. Now their machine. they
believe, is is perfect and that it is per-
feet also in the opinion of others NAV
be judged by the fact that the proprie-
tors of the Dailu Telegraph to-day de-
cided to have ten of these new machines
Immediately constructed for them. and
to have them placed in the new offices
which they are about to erect in the
rear of their present premises. The
ten machines can be constructed In
about ten months /; and in a year from
this time the Daily Telegraph, with its
" largest circulation in the world" will
be printed upon presses each one of
which will be capable of delivering
%, 900 completed sheets per hour
Does not that take your breath away?
The whole force necessary to each of
these presses is two men and boy
with them %, 900 perfect copies are
printed in one hour and the saving of
wages, as between this and the ordinary
ten-cylinder Hoe, is Is to 81. The
only one of these presses now complete
has been built for Lloyd's weekly news
paper; and to-day at Lloyd's paper
mills at Bow its performances were wit
messed by a number of experienced
newspaper people, among them the pro-
prietor and engineer of the Daily Tele-
graph establishment. The press did
the work it was engaged to do it printed
%, 900 copies of Lloyd's paper in sixty
minutes, and never was there better
printing. The cost of the press is
93, 300; the ten ordered by the Daily
Telegraph will cost 935, 900; and the
engines and other machinery for them
will bring the sum up to 5000, 600 in
gold. The present establishm ant of the
Daily Telegraph is about as perfect as
need be, but it is all to be thrown aside
for these new presses, which, although
costing so much, will, in the opinion of
the owners of the paper, save them
S75, 200 year, besides the advantage of
enabling them to go to press at 3 o'clock
in the morning instead of at II a. m. In
a word, if this new machine really proves
to be what it seems, it will become a
necessity to every great newspaper
establishment.

Ripening Pears.

Josiah Hooper furnishes some excel
lent directions on picking and ripening
pears. After abiding to the common
test of ripeness for picking, namely,
gently raising the fruit to see if it Will
readily detach itself at the stem, he di-
reefs that the specimens be placed thinly
and evenly on the floor of a cool room,
on blanket previously spread, and
then covered with a second blanket.
He says So In a short time the effect of
the treatment will be apparent in the
most golden-colored Bartletts and rich,
ruddy-looking Seckels imaginable.
Pears perfected in this manner rarely
have the mealiness of their naturally
ripened companions, nor do they pre-
maturely decay at the core, as when left
on the tree"
