ABSORBED IN DEvoTIoN.-The pastor
of the Slawson church sends us the fol-
lowing item: "Tho church, as will be
remembered, is holding n series of reviv-
al meetings which are largely attended.
Prominent among tho speakers is tho
Rev. Mr.. Chaiicc, of Illinois. Last Fri
day evening the building was crowded.
and Mr.. Chailee was considerably anima-
ted. He was setting on n chair at the
front, his wonderfully long legs crossed,
and his voice sending forth volume Of
song. The upper leg was swinging ma
jestically, tho motion increasing as tho
singing advanced. They had just reach
cd that part of the hymn whore 1t says
Then can safely rcach my home, my
God, my heaven, my all, and Mr.. Chat
fee was doing his level best, and had just
got out-Then | can safely reach my
home when the oscillatng limb came
suddenly in contact with miserable dog
that had in some way got into the house,
and sent it flying and bowling under ono
Of the benches. OF course Mr.. Chaffee
was surprised, but when little woman
popped up in the gallery and shook an
ominous looking umprella at him, and
cried in voice of passion, 'You kick
that dog again, you Illinoy giraffe, and
you won't safely reach home,' he fairly
macadamized. lie subsequently told our
informant that he never before was so
completely labbcrgasted, so thoroughly
circumbobulated, whatever that MEANS"

THE AMERICAN VALLEY OF DEATH.
The Valley of Death-a spot about as
terrible as the prophets valley of dry
bones-hos just north of the old Mormon
road to California, region thirty miles
long by thirty broad, and surrounded,
except at two points, by inaccessible
mountains. 1t is totally devoid of water
and vegetation, and the shadow of bird
or wild beast mover darkens its white,
glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific En-
gineers discovered it, and also some pa
pers which show the fate of the "lost
Montgomery train" which came from
Salt Lake in 1850, guided by n Mormon.
When near Deaths Valley, some came
to the conclusion that the Mormons knew
nothing about the country, so they ap-
pointed one of their number leader, and
broke off from tho party. The leader
turned due west; so with the people and
wagons and flocks he travelled three days,
aud then descended into the broad valley,
whose mirage promised water. They
reached the center, but only the white
sand, bounded by scorching peaks, met
their gaze. Around the valley they wan
dered, and one by one the men died, and
the painting focks stretched themselves
in death, under tho hot sun. Then the
children crying for water, died at their
mothers breasts, and with swollen tongues
and burning vitals, tho mothers followed.
Wagon after wagon was Abandoned, and
strong men tottered and raved and died.
After II weeks wandering dozen sur
vivors found some water in the hollow Of
n rock in the mountain. II lasted but
short time, when all perished but two,
who escaped out of tho valley~and follow
the trail of their former companions.
Eighty-seven families, with hundreds of
animals pershed here and now after
more than twenty years, the wagons
stand still complete the iron work and
tires aro bright, and the shrivoed sllclo.
tons lie side by side.

THE Foot OF A H0RsE.-The human
hand has often been taken to illustrate
Divine wisdom - and very well. But
have you ever examined your horses
hoof. 1t is hardly less curious in its way.
Its parts are somewhat complicated, yet
their design Is simple and obvious. The
hoof is not, as it appears to the careless
eye, n mere lump Of insensible bone fas-
tened to the leg by a joint. 1t is made
up of layers or leaves, Of horn, about five
hundred in number, and nicely fitted to
each other, and forming a lining to the
foot itself. Then there are as many more
layers, belonging to what is called the
"coffin bone" and fitted into this. Ihese
are elastic. Take a quire OF paper ana
insert the leaves one by one into those OF
another quire, and you will get some idea
of the arrangement Of the several layers.
Now the weight Of the horse rests on as
many elastic springs as there are layers
in his four feet-about 1900; and all Of
this is contrived, not only for the convey
ance of his own body, but for whatever
burdens may be laid on him.

POPULARITY OF THE POSTAL CARDS.
The postal card manufacturers at Spring
field, are now shipping between seven
and eight hundred thousand postal cards
daily, and will soon increase the number
to 100000. There is an ample supply
of paper on hand TO turn out million and
a quarter daily and OF better quality
than previously. The late note of tho
Postmaster General was to the effect that
about one hundeed millions of cards
would be purchased this year Up to this
time, less than three months since they
were issued, over fifty millions have been
ordered, and the probabilities are that tho
consumption this year will double the es-
innate. Thus far, none of the small
towns in the country have been supplied.

HARD WATER. There is n popular
prejudice that hard water is dangerous tc
the health, and on that account we are
constantly warned by physicians to be-
ware Of it but in England one of the
leading authorities upon this subject,
DR.. Letheby, after devotng many years
to an investigation into the properties of
the water introduced into the English
cities, and to the study of the sanitary
reports on the subject, comes to the con-
clusion that moderately hard water is
safer and more healthful than soft water.
Hard water is not only clearer, colder,
more free from air, and consequently
moro agreeable to the eye and to the taste
than soft water, but is less likely to abb
sorb organic substances, to sustain the
life Of zymotic organisms, or to exert sol
vent properties upon the salts Of iron or
upon leaden conducting pipes. The limo
salts exert beneficial influence upon the
animal economy, and even protect the
system from dangerous outward influen-
ces. DR.. Wilson, Of Edinburgh, has also
collected much valuable information on
the subject, and comes to the same con
clusion as DR.. Letheby. lie takes the
ground that the human body requires fol-
its proper nourishment and support q
supply of certain mineral salts, among
which carbonate and phosphate of lime
play an important part in building up
the compactness of the bones and in oth-
er functions. We usually obtain phos-
phate Of lime in our animal and vegcta-
BILE food, but not from the water We
drink. Carbonate Of lime, however, is
not contained in adequate quantity in
our solid food, but generally obtains in
spring or well water. 1t has been incon'
testably shown that in mountainous dis
tricts, where the water is more or less
hard, the inhabitants exhibit the bes
physical development. On the Other
hand, it is believed that in large cities
the mortality is inversely as the hardness
of water supplied to the inhabitants. A
water which contains about six grains o
carbonate Of lime to the gallon is suita'
bic for use in all household purposes. As
a drink and for cooking food, such wa
ter offers the necessary carbonate of lime
for the support of life in the simplest
most natural, and most easily digestcd
form, and is at the same time more agree
able, fresh and sparkling. 1t is evident
that our prcconceived popular notions or
the subject of hard water need revising
and that it may be better to use such wa
ter than to have recourse to rain or ice
water,

! A FEMALE ENOCH ARDEN.-A new
and painful phase Of the Enoch Arden
romances has been given by the appear
ance of female Enoch Arden upon the
scene. There was no peeping in at bacl;
windows and dying quietly at the village
inn in her case. On the contrary she as
serted the dignity of her sex, and de-
manded her rights, and took the poetry
out of the affair in double-Quick time
1t was a Mrs Grady, who dwells in Chi
cage. Some twenty years ago she was
united to one Michael Grady, who left
one fine morning to seek his fortune in
the land of the free and the home of the
brave. Years passed by and she heard
no tidings Of him. He, in the meanwhile,
took to himself another partner in his
joys and solrows, and dwelt in peace,
forgctful of the Bridget he had left on
the banks of the Shannon. She, grow
ing tired of her lonely and ambiguous
started on search for her errant and er-
ring husband, and found him, the other
day, at the head Of large and thriving
family in Chicago. She became imme-
diately possessed of an intense desire fol
many locks of Mchacl's hair, and cap
tured large quantity OF it. She then
manifested a similar yearning for the hair
and clothing of Michael's second venture
and become seized and possessed of frag-
ments of that also after which, instead
of going into Mysteries she went straight
to the police station and had her bigam-
Gus husband arrested. There is mourn
ing in the house Of the second Mrs. Gra-
dy, and her large progeny are likely to
prove oncumbrances on her hands. Now,
if Enoch Arden had acted in this manner
TennysOn would never have immortal
lied him. Mrs. Grady, number one, may
have acted with great spirit, but she was
grossly unpoetical +; and the result is,
that she will not go down to posterty in
uudyiug verse.

WHATS IN A JUG.
BY ALICE GARY.

" BE not among the wine-bibbers, among ri
otous eaters of flesh for the drunkard and
glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness
shall cothe man with rags" - Proverbs
XIII, ~, II.
I'll tell you two fortunes, my fine little lad,
For you to accept or refuse;
The one Of them good, the other one bad
Now hear them and say which you choose.
| see by me gifts, within reach of your hand,
A fortune right fair to behold
house and Il hundred good acres of land,
With harvest field yellow as gold.
l see great orchard with boughs hanging
down,
With apples, russet and red
| sec droves of cattle, some white and some
brown
But all of them sleek and we'll fed
| see droves of swallows about the barn door,
See the flaming mill whirling so fast;
L see them threshing wheat on the floor
And now the bright picture has passed
And | see rising dismally up in the place
Of the beautiful house and the land,
man with n iire-red nose on his face,
And little brown jug in his hand.
Oh, if you behcld him, my lad, you would wish
That he were less wretched to see;
For his boot toes they gap like the mouth of a
fish,
And his trowsers are out at the knee !
In walking he staggers, now this way, now
that,
And his eyes stand out like a bugs;
And he wears an old coat, and battered-in
hat,
And think that the fault is the jugs
