How to Make MIsch eff.

Keep your eye upon your neigh
bors. Take care of them. Do not let
them stir without watching. They may
do something wrong if you do. To be
sure, you never knew them to do any
thing bad, but it may be on your ac-
count they have not. Perhaps if it
had not been for your kind care, they
might have disgraced themselves a
long time ago. Therefore, do not relax
any effort to keep them where they
ought to be. Never mind your own
business-that will take care Of itself.
There is man passing along-he is
looking over the fence-be suspicious
of him; perhaps he comtemplates
stealing, some of these darkr nights,
there is no knowing what quee fancies
may have got into his head.
Ii you find any symptoms of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell
every one else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. 1t is q
good way to circulate things, though it
may not benefit yourself particularly.
Do keep something going-silence is a
dreadful thing though it is said there
was silence in heaven for the space of
half an hour, do not let any such thing
occur on earth, it would be too much
for this mundane sphere.

Looking for Himself.

The ludicrous spectacle of man
looking for himself and suffering the
keenest chagrin at failing to find him
self, was exhibited on the Union Pacific
railroad not long ago. An Eastern
bound immigrant train stopped at Rock
Creek station for breakfast. One emil
grant strayed away, and the first Sec
ton of the train started without him.
He reached the second on time and
managed to get away. His friends in
the first section missed him, and we're
seized with dread that he had been
killed. The conductor telegraphed to
the second section to look for him, or
bring him or his body to Laramie
The passengers turned out readily to
aid in the search. Foremost among
them, and displaying terrible anxiety,
was the man for whom they were look.
ing. He hunted for the missing immi-
grant with zeal which could only be
accounted for by the fact-unknown tc
him-that he was looking for himself.
During the whole day and following
night the search was continued, the un.
conscious cause of it suffering deeply
to think that he had been lost. Wher
he reached Laramie the idea never oc

Pestilence Among Indians,

When the Pilgrims landed at Ply
mouth, in 1920, they found comparatively
few Indians in their neigborhood. They
learned that the large proportion of the
Aborigines had been swept away by q
pestilence few years before. A writer
in California paper says that when he
visited the Valley of the Sacramento, in
1882, it was thickly peopled with In
dians. In 1888 he again passed over
the ground and found very few living
inhabitants, but no end of corpses. A
kind of remittent fever had swept the
red men away. He adds: From the
head of the Sacramento Valley until we
reached the mouth of Kings river, not
exceeding five live Indians were seen,
and here we found encamped village
of Indians, among whom the destroying
angel was sating his greed of human
victims by CHASTITY carnage. During
the one night more than a score of VIC
Tins We're added to the hosts upon
which he had been feeding. The wall
ing of that stricken village during that
night was incessant and most horrible. "

A Romance of Two Continents,

Fifty years ago young English Off
Ger named Hendricks was travelling
with his sister in Italy, where he met,
wooed, won and run off with the charm
ing daughter of rich and proud noble
man. Even as the father of Desdemona
disowned her, so the italian count
swore never again to acknowledge his
recreant daughter. Nothing disturbed
thereat, she accompanied her husband
to the British dominions in North
America, thence to New York, where,
after giving birth to a daughter, she
died. Hendricks, having thus lost his
wife, gave himself up to dissipation,
but was so far mindful of his mother
less infant as to marry German woman
who had taken a fancy to the child.
The girl grew to maidenhood, receiving
little education, for the family was
poor, and when still young was mar
ried at Vincennes, Indiana, to an Ohio
river mate named Hiram Titus. They
lived happily enough until Titus died,
when she removed to Louisville, where
she led desolate life. Now the count,
her grandfather, has yielded to heaven
his vital trust, and as sole lineal heir
she has gone to Italy to claim his title
and his wealth. The fortune which
thus falls to her is variously estimated
from 5000, 900 to $500, 900.

A Suicides Confession.

At least one man knew that he had
become bore, and when convinced of
the fact he killed himself. This was a
young spendthrift named Butenof, the
scapegrace son of a San Francisco
banker. Before his suicide he wrote q
letter in which he said, "That the
public should not suspect that the deed
was done in fit of insanity, l state
that after months reflection 1 take
leave of this world in the full possess
sion of all my senses, and that I am
calm and collected, but 1 am driven to
this by extreme despair, nervous ex-
element, etc. have gone to the dogs.
For years 1 have deported myself COR
rectly in this world, but during the
last ten weeks I found that 1 would
have to become involved in debt and
live upon the charity of others. Even
now 1 find that I have overstepped the
bounds, and can no longer obtain a
cents worth of favor. For weeks 1
have offered my services for my board,
but they have not been accepted. 1t
would take too long for me to regain
my former status. / have almost beg
ged of those who through me made
hundreds of dollars, and they turned
from me with their dimes in their
pockets. Some did help me at first,
but their manner was such that to ap-
proach them a second time for favor
became impossible. My innermost
thanks to here follow the names of a
dozen persons who have this day that

Strange Matches.

1t is an historical fact that Frederick
of Prussia formed the idea of COM
pelling unions between the tallest of
the two sexes in his dominions, in the
hope of having an army of giants. The
reader will, in all probability, recollect
the following ludicreus incident It so
happened that, during a long ride, the
king passed particularly tall young
woman, an utter stranger. He alighted
from his horse, and insisted upon her
delivering letter to the commanding
officer of his crack regiment. The let
ter contained the mandate that the
bearer was instantly to be married to
the tallest unmarried man in the SER
vice. The young woman was somewhat
terrified, and, not understanding the
transaction, gave an old woman the let
ter, which was conveyed to the COM
manding officer, and this old woman
was, in a short time, married to the
handsomest and finest man in the crack
regiment. 1t is not necessary to say
that the marriage was an unhappy one
particularly so to the old woman. In
this connection comes another anecdote.
A rich saddler directed in his will that
his only child, daughter, should be
deprived of the whole of the fortune
unless she married a saddler. A young
earl, in order to win the bride, actually
served an apprenticeship of seven years
to saddler, and afterward bound him
self to the rich saddler's daughter fol
life. But the union was anything but
happy one /; the bride, neither BY
birth nor breeding lady, reflected lit
tie credit on her bridegroom's choice
and repeated quarrels were followed by
separation. So it is with all unequa
matches gold and brass won't unite

Grave RObbing In Indiana.

A case of body-snatching was de-
veloped in Seymour, Ind, recently. A
young lady of respectable family, very
popular with her friends, and much be-
loved in that city, died of consumption
and was buried in the cemetery near
that city. The day after her interment
some near relativts went to the cemetery
fer the purpose of decorating her grave.
But what was their alarm and horror on
finding strong indications that the
grave had been tampered with-such
marks as to lead at once to the sus-
picion that the body had been removed. 4.
AS quickly as possible the family caused
the earth to be removed, and, on open
ing the coffin, their suspicious were
verified. The body of the girl had
been stolen.
The friends and relatives of the de-
ceased instantly set q watch for the
thief, and endeavored if possible to
arrest him. A man got on the eastward
bound train at Hardensburg, on the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, and had
his baggage--a rather small-sized
travelling trunk-checked for Cincin-
natl. As soon as the trunk was put on
board the train some relatives of the
| family, who were on the train watching
for suspicious characters, went for the
baggage car, and, discovering an un-
pleasant odor arising from the trunk,
had it opened and found the body of
the young lady closely wedged within
it. To get the corpse into so small
space it was necessary to cramp it in a
manner which indicated that much
violent force had been used. She was
lying on her side, with her knees
doubled up her under chin and her head
violently forced over to one side in a
corner of the trunk.
The man having charge of the trunk
was Immediately arrested, and when
the train reached North Vernon was
taken of, with the trunk and its ghastly
contents, to await the arrival of the
westward bound train to take him back
to Seymour. When the news reached
that place the greatest indignation was
felt among the people, and opinions
were freely expressed that the body
snatcher would be lynched on his re-
turn there.
Immediately after his arrest the body
snatcher confessed the deed, and said
he had been engaged in the business
for two years, getting his subjects from
along the line of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad and other roads running
into Cincinnati. The price he said he
was paid was 800 subject. He seemed
to be so terribly frightened that he
could give no Ineligible account of
himself or his confederates.

Exports of Musical Instruments.

Official records of Custom House re-
turns at Washington show that the
total value of musical instruments ex-
ported from the United States during
the year ending June 30, 1874, was
$3.50, 1927. OF this, $258, l76 was for
pianos and 1922, 151 for parlor or reed
organs. OF this latter amount $685.
169, or more than one-hag Of the whole,
was of the cabinet organs made by the
Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., which
bid fair to become as famous in Europe
as they have long been in America.
This company certainly have reason to
be proud of the fact that the European
demand for their organs is larger thar
that for all others oombined.-BoStor
