A Suicidal Family,

John Harper, of Gilpin county, Col
orado, owned large ranch, on which is
a rich gold mine, near Central. He
had been badly embarrassed in his
finances, but the proceeds of the ranch
and mine had brought him through the
trouble, and he was out of debt. This
was about year ago. He then COM
mitted suicide, and left large family
we'll off. John Harper never told what
made him do it. Apparently when life
was just beginning to be easy and
pleasant, no cut off the last end of it
and threw it away. One of his daugh-
ters is Mrs. David Boomert, at Long
mont. Miss Matte Harper, another,
lived with her married sister. She was
young lady. There were several
younger children. Matte locked her.
self up in her room one day, and would
not let Mrs. Boomert in. Then Mrs.
Boomert ran to neighbours and said /:
Matte has locked herself in her room,
and I'm afraid she will do something to
herself" The sad end of her father
was uppermost in the woman's mind.
The neighbors came and looked into
Mattie's room through a window, and
saw her standing in one corner with her
face to the wall. The door was broken
open and Matte Was found hanging by
q white woolen comfort to a clothes
hook in the wall. She was quite dead.
She left letter ard will, but no
reason for her sudden departure from
the world. She wanted her share of the
estate divided between her two little
sisters and them well educated. How
the shadows are settling around that
family.-&. Louis Republican.

A Terrible Struggle.

A few weeks ago Swede by the
name of Torgilerson, who resides in
Swift county, Mimi, was proceeding to
a neighbor's, some three miles distant
from his own home, carrying a shovel
on his shoulder, which he was return
ing to his neighbor, from whom he had
borrowed it. He had accomplished
about half his journey, and was passing
through a small grove, when he heard
a crashing in the underbrush, and,
turning round, saw stalwart deer, of
the buck persuasion, making for him
with every demonstration of hostile in
tentions.
There was but one course to pursue,
and that was to fight for his life, and,
being powerful man, he anticipated
on easy conquest. Mistaken man The
deer charged him with antlers lowered
even as an enraged bullwould lower his
head when dashing at his foes. Tor
gilerson grasped his shovel and stood
stoutly ON the defensive. As the en-
ragged buck neared him he aimed des-
perate blow with his shovel full at his
head.
1t struck one of his antlers with such
force as to break it, but the conclusion
was so strong that it forced the man
backward several feet, and hurled him
breathless against tree. Just how the
fight went after that he does not re-
member, but he knows that he fought
with all the strength Of desperation,
and at last the deer and himself both
fell to the ground, and he lost all con-
sciouspess for time.
When he came Ground to his soul
again" the deer was lying stark dead
near by him, and he could barely crawl
away. His clothes were in rags, his left
cheek torn open, cash on the right
side, where the deer had inserted one
of the prongs of his antlers, and three
fingers of his lefthand iammed up. The
shovel was total wreck, and the carcass
of the deer was pretty well hacked
around the head and shoulders.
The blow that caused the animals
death was inflicted by sharp corner o.
the shovel remaining on the handle
after most of the blade had been broker
off. The wounded man succeeded il
crawling back to his house, which Ii,

tion. lis thought that he will surviv,

Rescued from Santiago.

The United States steamer Juniata
has arrived with one hundred and two
rescued prisoners-the survivors of
those taken on the steamer Virginius.
Some new light is cast upon the cap
ture and the Immediately related events
by the men now brought hither. By
their story the history of the massacre
is somewhat redeemed from the confu-
sion into which it was thrown by the
several contradictory statements Of the
numbers of persons killed on the vari-
Gus days of the executions. 1t appears
that in all fifty-three persons were shot
-four at first, on November 4 T; thirty
seven on November and twelve on
November Sand that the executions
we're only stopped by the arrival at
Santiago of the British man-of-war
Niobe. There is further report that
the thirty-seven who were killed on the
7th were at first to have been shot on
the 9Th, but that change was made in
the day in consequence of its becoming
known that the British man-of-wai
would-arrive on the Sth.

Don't be Too Critical.

Whatever you do, never set up for q
critic. We don't mean newspaper
one, but in private life, in the domestic
circle, in society. 1t will not do any
one any good, and it will do you harm
If you mind being called disagree
able. If you don't like any ones nose,
or object to any ones chin, don't put
your feelings into words. If any ones
manners don't please you, remember
your own. People are not all made to
suit one taste, recollect that. Take
things as You find them, unless you can
alter them. Even a dinner, after it is
swallowed, cannot be made any better.
Continual fault-fnding, continual criti-
cism of the conduct of this one and the
speech of that one, the dress of the
other and the opinions of t'other, will
make home tho unhappiest place under

Co.onerafion In Fall River.

An officer of q cooperative associa-
ton at Fall River, Mass, has recently
furnished the following statement con-
cerning its history: Early in Febru-
ary, 1867, few working men held q
meeting in private house in Fall
River, and took the preliminary steps
to form a cooperative association. BY
the Doth of the same month thirty-five
the paid-up shares amounted to S2, 124.
A small store was rented in Pleasant
street, and for few weeks the officers
went to the store after doing their days
work and amused themselves by carry
ing out orders on n wheelbarrow, but
afterward bought Eorse and wagon.
At the close of that year the association
was reorganized on q better basis, with
a capital of $4,000, and the number of
members had increased to sixty-fve.
Early in the spring of 1868 large store
on Bedford street was purchased for
1000, and at the end of that year the
membership had increased to 129 and
the capital to $1,000. The membership
has steadily increased, until now it
numbers over 200. Each member pays
an admission fee of 81, and each share
is $40. Every member must own at
least one share before he can vote or
hold Office in the association, and no
member is allowed to own over thirty
shares. Last April the store on Bedford
street, which five years ago was bought
for $5, 900, was sold for $15, 900, and the
$4,000 profit has been constituted a
consolidated fund. The association
has erected this year, on Bedford street,
large block, 70 by 40 feet, containing
three stores and ten tenements. The
association run a grocery store, a
butchers shop, and a boot and shoe
store. From Dec. 81, 1867, to Sept. 81 d,
1873, the sales amounted to 1927, $50. 80,
the investments S39,272. O5, and the
Withdrawals $24, 1850. The members
dividends were $27, ,772.34, and the non
members 1914 SO, making the total
profits S31, ,51693. For the quarter
ending Sept. q, the dividends on pur-
chases were twelve cents on dollar for
members, and eight cents for non
members, with ten per cent. per annum
on shares"

toilet, to be satisfactorily performed,
demands some other position than
prone upon the face. Likewise, it is
somewhat more agreeable to perform
portions of the toilet unobserved by
the multitude. Men either are not
burdened with modesty, or they have
minds that soar so far above the femi-
nine that they give no thought to the
embarrassment attendant upon the
method and manner of disposing ones
self in those close quarters. A woman
carefully extinguishes herself behind
the curtains, slyly unlooses a lace, en-
velops herself decorously in a large
water proof, not daring to lay aside her
chignon for fear of a surprise, and to
stow herself away uncomfortable and
depressed. The stranger in the bunk

ITEMS TO REsIEMBER.-Wh cloths
have acquired an unpleasant odor by
being from the air, charcoal laid in the
folds will soon remove it. If black
dresses have been stained, boil hand
full of fig leaves in a quart of water,
and reduce it to pint. A sponge
dipped in this liquid and rubbed upon
them will entirely remove stains from
grapes, bombazines, etc. In laying up
furs for summer, lay tallow candle in
or near them, and danger from worms
will be obviated.
