A LADY left her little child playing
near hot stove on which was a kettle of
boiling water, yesterday morning, while
she ran across the street to neighbours.
Presently she heard the agonizing
screams of that child, and on the wings
of terror she flew to its relief. Oh. hor-
ror! there on the floor lay her darling
babe, the pure outgrowth of holy love,
the idol, and light, and life of her heart,
struggling in the grasp of tremendous
cockroach. For moment the fond
mother stood transfixed, chilled to the
marrow in her bones, then, gathering all
her strength for action, she seized fiat
iron, sprang, as springs the lioness upon
the murderer of her cubs-sprang upon
the monster, wrenched away its grasp,
hurled 1t upon its back, and, with cry
of triumph, brought down the iron and
mashed the bloodthirsty bug. Then, clasp
ing her babe to her bosom and murmuring,

Getting a Wife.

In some parts of Europe it is not un-
usual to bring about matrimonial engage
ments by means of advertisements. Some
years ago it was agreed in gay party of
ladies and gentlemen in London that an
advertisement should be inserted in a
morning paper as from young lady,
rich and beautiful, who felt inclined to a
state of matrimony. In the course of
the day letters were received from be-
tween forty and fifty SWANS Of all de-
scriptions, in reply to each of whom an
answer was addressed stating that the
lady wished, previous to his being intro
duced to her, to see him, and at the same
time requesting each to be in the pit of
the Drury Lane TheateT on the following
evening, dressed in a blue coat, white
pantaloons and scarlet vest, and imme-
diately on the conclusion of the first act
to stand upon the benches, flourish a
white handkerchief in one hand and APP
ply glass to the right eye with the
other. Everything succeeded so well
that, as soon as the curtain fell, about
fifty individuals Of all ages forthwith
mounted the benches, and from the
smooth hinned Adonis of eighteen to the
sleek, portly, self-confident widower of
fifty, and the emaciated bachelor of sixty,
dressed in uniform according to orders,
in the gayest style and the utmost nicely,
to make the deeper impression on the
heart of the fair prize. High swelled
their bosoms with hope as with studied
action the handkerchief was flourished
and the glass was raised to the eye. But
who shall paint the establishment, dis

increased velocity they descended from

CAMPHoK MEDICATION Camphor Is a
poison, and yet 1t is largely used by
many families for alleviaiing pain and
curing sores. 1t is nervous irritant. II
taken in small doses, it acts like alcohol
and opium. In large quantities it ex.
cites the nervous system even to the ex-
tent of camphor spasms and death. Cam.
phor also acts as an irritant on the mu.
cous membrane of the stomach, leading
to constipation and liberation. On these
accounts it should not be used without
the advice of physician. Families
easily get into the habit of running to the
camphor bottle for every trifing ailment
until after a while insidious maladies
break out whose origin is little suspected.

The Danger of Wet Coal.

People who prefer wetting the winters
store of coal to lay the dust on putting it
in their cellars do not, we believe, gen
orally know that they are laying up for
themselves store of sore throats and
other evils consequent upon the practice.
But SO it is said to be. Even the fire.
damp which escapes from coal mines
arises from the slow decomposition of
coal at temperatures but little above
that of the atmosphere, but under aug
mented pressure. BY wetting mass Of
freshly-broken coal and putting it into a
warm cellar the mass is heated to such
a degree that carburetted and sulphu-
retted hydrogen are given off for long
periods of time and pervade the whole
house. The liability of wet coal to mis-
chievous results under such circum-
stances may be appreciated from the cir
cumstance that there are several In
stances on record of the combustion of
wet coal when slowed into the bunkers
or holds of vessels. And from this cause,
doubtless, many missing coal vessels have
