SOCIAL PALACES.

We commit the still greater error
in plunging into ice water every
morning, then scrub all the skin
off with a horse-hair brush OF
coarse board towel; sit down to q
breakfast of oatmeal sawdust; dine
eff tablespoon of wheat and two
berries, and make a supper on cat
nip tea, then be put through q Rus
sian bath of five hundred degrees /;
sleep under an open window when
the thermometer is zero wear long
hair; dress the woman in panta-
looms make all our property over
to them, then sit down in the kitch-
en- corner and nurse the baby, and
when it is asleep wash up the tea
things, and go to bed at nine
O'Clock to be "out of the way"
What will become of the men
Surely we have fallen on evil times.
"A better and truer mode of life is
to have plenty of everything thai is
good TO est aud drink which i'm
parts nurishmeat and strength, and
as much of it as you want. The
idea of getting up from the table
hungry is unnatural, absurd and
hurtful-quite as much so as get
ting up in the morning before Your
sleep is out, or the mischievous
principle that "early to rise makes
man healthy, wealthy and wise"
Early rising in civilized society
tends to shorten life. Early rising
of itself never did any good.
Many farmers boy has been made
an invalid for life by being made to
get up at daylight, before his sleep
was out. Many a young girl has
been stunted in body and mind and
constitution by being made to get
up before the system has had its
full rest. ALI who are growing,
all who work hard and all weakly
persons should not get up until
they feel as if they would be more
comfortable to get up than to re-
main in bed; that is the only true
measure of sufficiency of sleep.
Any one who gets up in the morn
ing feeling as if he "would give the
world" to remain in bed a little
while longer, does violence to his
own nature, and will always suffer
from it--not Immediately it may
be, but in later years, by the cum
ulative ill effects of the most I'M
wise practice. In any case the per-
son who gets up in the morning be-
fore he is fully rested will lack Just
that much of the energy requisite
for the days pursuit.
AS q people we do not get
enough sleep, we do not get enough
rest, we will not take enough time
for these things; hence our ner-
vousness, our irritability, our hasty
temper, and the premature giving
out of the stamina of life. Half of
us are old at three-score, the very
time man ought to be in his men,
tai, moral aud physical prime.
Half of our wives, especially in the
farming districts, die long before
their time, because they do not get
rest and sleep proportional to their
labor. Nine times out of ten it
would be better for all parties if
the farmer should get up and light
the fire and prepare breakfast for
his wife, she coming directly from
her toilet to breakfast, because it al
most always happens that she has
to remain up to set things right
long after the husband has gone to
bed, when really he has nothing to
do after supper but go to bed.
This is q monstrously cruel imposi-
ton on wives and mothers.-Halls

THE LEADING GERAsSHOEo.
PER STORY.

1t falls to the lot of Sol. Miller of
the Troy Chief to tell the premium
grasshopper story. He does it in
this telling way:
The most novel phase of the grass
hopper question that has yet pre-
sented itself, comes to US from Phil
lips county. About q year ago, a
family from Georgia, of German de-
scent, named Boomershine, located
near the western line of Phillips
county. The Oldest daughter, aged
about eighteen, Wss addicted to the
obtained the clay from the roadside.
Early this summer the grasshoppers
settled down in that region, and
soon began depositiDg their eggs in
the gardens, fields and roadside.
The Boomershine girl went on with
her clay-eaiing, as usual, with no
unusual effects, until q short time
ago, when she began complaining of
an uneasy feeling in her interior,
and commenced gradually swelling,
like one with the drcpsy. The
| symptoms increased, and change
began to take place in her appetite.
She no lenger had taste for clay,
but seemed to banker after the
| blades of corn, leaves of trees, dog
/ fennel. and other weeds, and she
said she frequently felt as if she
could take wings and fly away. DR..
LeDuc, of PhiIlipsbarg, was sent
for, who said that he had never be-
fore met with 3 case of the kind il
his practice, or read Of one in the
books. He decided that she mus

Curious Phenomena.

The Hudson Star relates the
following, which is certainly re
markable if true.
@Residents in the vicinity OF
Goodrich Hollow, Columbia Co.,
have been startled since Monday,
by a quaking of the earth at in
teryals. The water in brook
near by has doubled its aow, and
the temperature has been Increas-
ed to IIS degrees. A man living
on the east end of the hollow says
that he had discovered the same
sudden rise in the stream as it
rushed down the side of the noun
tain, and had also observed that
lit was smoking hot. This stream
IS the outlet OF natural lake of
about twenty-five acres extent,
situated on the very top of the
mountain. east of the hollow.
The lake is in the town of Han
cock, Berkshire county, Mass,
and is about three miles distant
from Lebanon Springs, and has
always been considered q natural
curiosity by visitors. 1t is nearly
circular and very deep. Many per-
sons have taken lines there and
made attempts to reach the bot
tom, but without success. Being
upon the highest point of the
mountain, without any visible
brook or stream to feed it, the
wonder has been from what source
a supply CT water has been furn-
ished to keep this lake always
overlooking without a visible inlet.
A gentleman who visited the local I
lty several years ago, and had |
been great traveller in foreign
lands, gave it as his opinion that
the lake was now occupying the
crater of an extinct volcano"
GA party of ten, on arriving at
the lake, found the surroundings
almost concealed by a thick mist
from the surface of the
water, and on approaching the
shore were wrapped in steam,
which on first entering was OPP
pressively hot, but they, in a
short time accustomed them
selves to the surroundings. Mr..
Ostander yentured down the bank
to the surface of the lake, and for
a moment placed his hand into the
water, but finding it almost in a
boiling condition, he quickly
it. The explorers,
retired a short distance
and seated themselves with a de-
to see if some change
would follow. They had remain
ed about an hour here, when it
was discovered that the body of
water flowing from the outlet of
The lake was evidently diminishing,
and shortly afterward the water
and the mist disappeared, leaving
what was u short time before the
surface of the lake, nothing but
IN immense cavern of unfathoma-
BILE depth"
''In the space of fifteen minutes
after, the party felt shock he
meath them, and all were startled
by y trembling of the earth be-
meath their feet. The shock was
followed by a dense column OF
steam, and directly afterward the

A Romantic Story.

The following was related to me yes
tsrday by a noble woman whose name
should live in history: She, together
with her lover, a young surgeon, had
taken care Of the wounded Communists
during tho days and nights Of their
fierce fighting with the Versailles troops.
Upon the entry Of the latter into the
city, when excitement was ut Its height,
and when every one suspected Of CON-
plieity with the Commune was shot al
most without q question being asked,
the surgeon was arrested and brought
before the drum-hcad tribunal, in the
Place du Chatelst. His life trsmblsd
for the moment in the balance, but was
finally saved by the intercession Of one
Of the judges present, whs was On init
mate friend OF the accused. As the lat
ter was being led from the room he met
the woman whom he loved. and who
was now accused Of the same crime As
he himself had been. ''Good God,
Marie?" he exclaimed. "sre you here
too?" The woman took the whole
scene in at q glance, saw the danger into
which she would plunge her lover
should she recognize him, and dsew
herself up ooldly, saying, "You are mis-
taken, sir; J ne pous cdnndis pds!" A
few moments afterward she was taken
out and shot. Il not that story OF the
