A Wild HuHtressaA Strange, but
True Story.

The Wheeling Register of 4 late date
tells the following story on the author
ityf of John Messenger of Winbrldge,
Green county, Pa, for whose veracity it
vouches
~ A man living near Winbridge, Green
county, Pa, had born to him five chill
dren, four girls and one boy. His name
is Daniel Lewis. When quite young
the boy and second daughter, named
Lucinda Lewis, developed quite fond
ness for hunting, and We're out nearly
all the time roaming the woods In search
of game. They seemed to delight in
nothing so much as The fall life of a
hunter, and would be gone from home
for weeks at time After some four
or five years the boy quit it and entered
ON the more industrious pursuits of life,
but the girl continued in the chase.
Drawing herself more from human in
tercourse and restraint, she has become
wild woman, fleeing from the approach
her kind with the speed of deer.
During the early years of her solitary
life she used to approach her fathers
house and entice the dogs to follow her,
learning almost any breed of dogs to be-
come good hunters. In the hope of
bringing her back to her home and to
civilization, her brother followed her
and shot the dog she had taken away,
using every inducement to get her to go
back with him, but all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was
twelve years of age, she has lived this
wild life, sleeping in the centers of
straw stacks during the night and hiding
in them during the summer. She is
now thirty years old, and is as wild
as the most untamed denizen of the
forest.
Mr.. Messenger says he at one time,
while out hunting, met her in the woods.
Her long black hair, covering her face
and eyes, was matted with burs an6
leaves, and her black, flashing eyes
made her a startling picture. She re-
manned perfectly still until he got with
in twenty feet of her, when she turned
and fed with a swiftness no man coul6
hope to rival.
| A few days since she was seen again
and then had in her hand three pleas
ants and four rabbits, but although
these encountered her, she eluded ever,
attempt to capture her. She has beel
so long in the woods that she has be
come perfectly wild. Her dress is mad
of the skins of wild animals and blank
ct that she has taken somewhere during
some of her nocturnal predatory tours.

AN UNBALANCED SHEEP.-Wiliam
Giaspel, of Dutch Neck, N. j., owns a
sheep which seems to possess greater
propelling power in it's hind parts than
before. In running, the hinder part in
variably outruns the1fere part of the an
imal, which makes it necessary for it to
turn around every few feet, when run
ming rapidly. The sheep has never been
injured in any way, but from its birth
the tail of the animal has manifested a
determination to keep at least even with
the head when on a run.

Relative Size of Countries and Seas.

The Country Gentleman gave lately
the comparative ATTITUDES of some prom
inent places on the globe. It may be
well now to furnish some comparative
sizes, in round numbers.
The Red Sea would reach from Wash
ington to Colorado, and it is three times
as wide as Lake Ontario.
Madagascar is as large as New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina, all put together.
Palestine is one-fourth the size of
New York.
Hindostan is more than a hundred
times as large as Palestine.
Great Britain is two-thirds the size of
Japan, one-twelfth the size of Hindos-
twenty-fifth of the United States.
Greece is about the size of Vermont.
The English Channel is nearly as large
as Lake Superior, and Lake Huron as
large as the sea OF Azof.
The Great Desert of Africa has near
ly the present dimensions of the United
States.
The Caspian Sea would reach from
new YORK TO Ot. Augustine, ana is as
wide as from New York to Rochester.
The following bodies of water are
nearly equal in size German Ocean,
Black Sea, Yellow Sea; Hudson bay is
rather lager the Baltic, sAdriatic, Per-
sian Gulf, and Eagean Sea are about as
large, and somewhat larger than Lake
Superior
The Mediterranean, If placed across
North America, would make sea naviga-
ton from San Diego to Baltimore.
The Gulf of Mexico is about ten times
as large as Lake Superior, and about as
large as the sea of Kamschatka, Bay of
Bengal, China Sea, Okothsk Sea, or
Japan Sea. Lake Ontario would go into
either of them more than fifty times.
Great Britain and Ireland are about
as large as New Mexico, but not as large
as Nebraska or Iowa. They are less
than New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

A Fool FOR A CLIENT.-Mr. Rees, an
English barrister, illustrates the old saw
that " the lawyer who manages his own
case has fool for client" Before he
died he wrote his will, covering score
of long-drawn foolscap sheets. In
searching his papers two pages number
ed .'four" were found, seeming to be
parts of his ultimate testament, and now
the PROBATE Court is puzzled to decide
which is which, and who are who among
the legatees named in the questionable
pages. Justly enough, it has ruled that
the estate pay the costs of the contest.

IMITATION OF MEKRsCHAUM. = Most
smokers like meerschaum pipes SO well
that they would also like to have them q
little cheaper Chemistry now under
takes to supply this desideratum, and to
make meerschaums out of potatoes
"peeled, soaked for about thirtysix
hours in water to which eight per cent.
o. sulphuric acid has been added, dried
in hot sand for several days on plates of
chalk or plaster of Paris, and compress
ed at the same time. They can then be
carved, and will be an excellent imita-
ton of the meerschaum."

A NOVEL PRoPosITIoN-The latest
freak of French political eccentricity is
proposition made by the Paris Figaro
to divide France into four separate ter
ritories, each of which is to have sepa-
rate ruler. France proper is have the
Count of Chambord for King, with Yer
sailles as his capital. Aquitane is to be
given to the Count of Paris, with Tou-
louise for his capital. The Duke d'Au-
male is to have Burgundy, with his
capital at Avignon and the Prince I'm
perial Corsica and A1giers, with his cap
ital at Algiers AS this would dispose
of all four claimants 20 the throne, and
give each of them kingdom of his own,
there is good deal OF sense in the lev
ity of the Figaro.

CONGRATULATIONS voyage of
$4,000 miles, taking 400 days sailing,
the. British ship Jealous has just re-
turned to England. She was dispatched
in 1865, by way of the Straits of Magel-
Ian, for the Pacific, to become the flag
ship of the squadron. She is believed to
80 be the largest ship that ever passed
through the intricate straits, and in
passing ran upon rock off the Land of
Fuego. After being relieved from duty
in the Pacific, she proceeded homeward
by way of the Cape of Good Hope. It
g is stated that the Captain is to publish
a history of the round voyage, which
d - ought to make an interesting book.

FOR HUSBANDS TO READ.
BY A FARMERS WIFE.

1t is my opinion there is not on this
fair earth any class Of people 30 over
worked as the farmers wives. Not
speaking of them individually, of
course there is exceptions to all rules,
but l think the statement is true of
them as class. 4 tsa 4
Take, for instance, the farmer in
moderate circumstances, be does not
a. a general thing furnish his wife
with help. Is it because he is not
able, or can not afford it2 No, not
that. Well, does he not value her
health and life? Oh, yes, he cares as
much for his wife az most other men
do for theirs. The reason Is simply
this, it is not the general custom for
farmers who are not called rich to
hire help for their wives except in
cases of extreme necessity. .
They, foolish husbands, think if
farmer A, B and C's wives can do
their work, why surely mine can
She has everything handy and the
family not SO large - many others.
Does he for moment think he could
cultivate his farm without help? Oh,
NO! that would be impossible. He
keeps three farm hands, and then can
zee plenty ofwork always needing to
be done. ~ So
Now, Mr.. Farmer, let me tell you !
few things that are expected Of your
wife. First, she has four men and
children, which is only an average
family, to cook, wash, iron, make, and
mend for; she is expected to do the
most of the milking, all the churning.
make butter to sell, to supply the
family groceries, gather the eggs, if
the children are not large enough to
do so, raise chickens and turkies, and
perhaps tend more Of the garden than
all Of the four men put together, get
three meals day promptly; ifshe has
a slight headache and the baby is
cross, no matter, the men must have
their dinner.
Now is there q woman living Who
can stand such daily routine q this?
There are hundreds of them, yes, and
in this country, too, who are doing
this much and more every year. But
can they stand it always? No! They
can not. The sequel comes in few
years, and instead of the bright, cheer
full wife, you have pale, weak wo-
man, grown old before her time
Then, when she can do the work nc
longer, you hire help expecting her ia
be better IN short time. But she
has been taxed beth mentally and
physically beyond her strength, and
now death will claim its victim. YOU
could rot see it long before, tina
- gradually, day by day, she Was wear

now that she is with you no more, ant
your children are left motherless, ant

DIR. TUFTS Pills are composed of many
ingredients. Prominent among them are
Sarsapariila and Wild Cherry, SO united as
to act togethe :; the one, through its admix-
ture with other Substances, purifying and
purging: while the other is strengthening
The system. Thus these Pills are at the
same time q tonic and Cathartic, deSid-
eratum long sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work OF two medicines,
and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the
system but impurities, so that while they
purge they also strengthen, and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no re-
action.
Dr.. Tutt.s pills have a wonderful in.
iuence on the blood. They not only purify
without weakening il, but they remove all
noxious particles from the cnyle before it is
converted into fiuid, and thus makes impure
s blood an utter impOssibility. As there Is no
tlebilitation, so there is no nausea or sick
ness attending the operation of this most
excellent medicine, which never strains or
tortures the digestive organs, but causes
them to work in q perfectly naturai manner;
hence persons taking them do not become
rale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, the
+ combined action of the Sarseparilla and
{. Wild Cherry purifies and inyigerates the
body, and a robust state of health is the re-
suit of their united action Price, IS cents a
