representing the numbers OF tickets sold.
While there is no actual necessity for the

equally cared for, yet at the same
time / would greatly prefer thai

remains for the sale Of the remainder o

ALUM.-Et IS well known, says an
Australian paper, that alum dissolved is
very effective IN clearing muddy water.
But a short time since some alum was
applied in manner which, from It's
novelty and valuable reaults, is worthy OF
notice. In place where water is scarce
at.spresent little alum WAS dissolved in
hot water and thrown into tub of thick
soapsuds. In q moment the soap curd-
led, and, accompanied by the muddy
particles, sank to the bottom, leaving
the water perfectly clear, pure and de-
void Of smell. The water was found
very useful for washing clothing again,
when poured off the sediment A SINH
lar result was attained in a quick man
ner by filing a boiler with soapsuds,
placing It on a fire and throwing bit of
alum into It. When the suds boiled the
scum went over and left the water clear,
soft and rs useful for washing clothes as
1t had originally been.

WoaAN's PHYSICAL DISABILITY. =
Prof. Huxley, than whom there are few
deeper thinkers, does not believe IN the
oft-told tale of woman's disability. He
says:
We have heard great deal, lately,
about the physical disabilities Of women.
Some OF these alleged impediments, no
doubt, are really inherent IL their organ
ization, but nine-ten5hs OF them are ar
tifcial-the products OF their mode OF
life. / believe that nothing would tend
SO effectually to set rid Of these creations
of idleness, WEAKNESS and that Cover
stimulation of the emotions, which, in
plainer-spoben days, used to be called
wantoness, than fair share Of healthy
work, directed toward definite object,
combined with an equally fair share of
healthy play during the years Of adde's
cence; and those who are best acquaiD-
ted with the requirements Of an average
medical practitioner viii find it hardest
to believe that the attempt 20 reach chat
standard is likely to prove exhausting to
IN ordinarily Intelligent and well educa-
ted woman.

THAT LITTLE G1RL,.-The iovial cap
tain Of ono OF the steamships now in

May and December marriages so com

apparently over fifty years of age, was 8

and another younger. The gentleman
Was sea-sick in the cabin and the girls
were on deck, whereupon the captain
endeavored to arnuse them, took them
on his knees and told them stories,
while he enjoyed their prattle and pretty
smiles. In the midst Of this pleasant
occup patton the gentleman came on deck.
With fierce expression Of face he gag
ed upon the scene for a moment, and
then enquired in a harsh, husky voice,
''You, sir, are you married." Yes. ]

TIE MISSES 9REELKY.-A New York
letter says: cit is nearly two years
since the death Of Mr.. Horace Greeley,

that event, his daughters, Ida ard Ga
brielle, occasionally make their appear
ance in public. Gabrielle is still very
young, probably not more than eigh-
teen, but has grown during her years of
secluaion into tail and very beautiful
girl. Both have exquisite compilations,
lovely eyes, ripe, scsrles lips, and sweet,
child like expression which distinguished
their father. Ida is most like her father,
however, in appearance, and Gabrielle
like her mother. Evidently the most
devoted affection exists between the two
girls. Ida, the elder, looks after her
sister lovingly, and says: Hasn't she
grown tall and pzetsy?' And Gabrielle
remarks: Don't you think L begin to
