PAY Your SMALL DEBrs.-The
ability Of nearly every man to pay his
debts depends upon his ability to col
lect debts due him TIE individuals Of
a com muuity are linked together by a
chain of debts and credits, aud in time
of desperation the refusal of one person
to discharge single liability often en-
barrasses line of a dozen debtors and
creditors. Hence the prompt payment
of small debts becomes in times like
these public as we'll as a private duty.
The same money that pays a debt in
the morning may pay dozen before
night, and twelve men are thus relieved
from anxiety and pressure By the action
of one.

WoUNDs.-An exchange says:
every person should understand how
to treat flesh wound, because one is
liable to be placed in circumstances,
away from surgical and veterinary aid,
where be may save his life, the life of IA
friend or of beast, simply by the ex-
ercise of little common sense. In the
first place, close the lips of the wound
with the hand and hold them firmly to-
gether to check the flow of blood until
several stitches can be taken and a
baudage applied. Then bathe the
wound for long time in cold water.
"Should it be painful" a correspondent
says, stake painful Of burning Goals
and sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar, and hold the wounded part in
the smoke. In few minutes the pain
will be allayed and recovery proceeds
rapidly. In my case, a rusty nail made
bad wound in my foot. The pain and
nervous irritation was severe. This was
all removed by holding it in smoke for
fifteen minutes, and l was able to re-
sumo my reading iu comfort. We
have often recommended it to others
with like results. Last winter one of
my men had finger nail torn out by
pair Of ice tongs. 1t became very pain
full, as was to have been expected,
Held in sugar smoke for twenty minutes
the pain ceased and promised speedy re-
covery."

GENE, of the Elk Democrat, is an
"amooslng cuss'Sas Artemus Ward used
to say, when he gets hold of a joke he
sticks to it and makes use of it on every
occasion. The last instance of his dou-
Bile joking propensities is witnessed in
the following:
J. W. PHELPS, late candidate for
Assembly in the district, has gone to
driving an OK team-at least he is re-
ported to have said he would so do if de-
feated-and who ever heard such
thing as a falsehood uttered by a kadi-
cal politician. n.-Eporjuns independent.
We trust Mr.. Phelps will enjoy his
occupation this winter as we'll as Mr.
Baird will his. Driving oxen is a very
pleasant occupation, no doubt; but we
scarcely think it is either as pleasant or
lucrative as going to the Legislature.
Our friend Phelps doubtless agrees with
US that
"Of all the sad words Of tongue Or of
pen,
Tho saddest are these-it might have
been"
Phelps, but it is Baird
The first time he perpetrated this joke,
was on Ben Butler, and was thought by
some, exceedingly good, considering
the source. But now, when he gets off
the same old joke on Phelps, it seems
as though he thought the joke too good
to wear out. In times gone by Miller
was acknowled sed as the great connum-
drumist, and now his name will go
down to the generations, coupled with
the great conumdrumist, andthe great
est joker.

orally know that they are laying up for
themselves store Of sore throats and

change, which escapes from the coal
mines, arises from the slow decomposi-
tion of coal at temperatures bat little
above that of the atmosphere, but under
augmented pressure. By, wetting a
mass Of freshly broken coal and pouring
it into a cellar, the mass is heated to
such degree that carburetted and sui
phuretted hydrogen are given off for
llong periods of time and pervades the
whole house. The liability OF wet coal
to mischievious results under such cir
cumstances, may be appreciated from
the fact that there are several instances
on record of spontaneous combustion OF
