Tho Hired Girl Performs 4 Dental Opera
tiOn.

A hired girl should be ingenious. One
of them, in the employ of a West street
family, Danbury, discovered an unique
way of extracting teeth. She suffered
nearly . whole week with an aching tooth,
but had not the courage to 60 to dentist.
One afternoon it troubled her 80 much as
to force her to look for remedy, and she
finally hit upon plan. With piece of
stout twine she made loop, which she
put about her tooth. Then she took bit
of soap and rubbed it or the floor, oppo-
site the back door. The other end of the
twlne she fastened to the knob Of the clos
ed door, Then she took a position on soap
ed boards, and commenced to lean back.
When she had acquired slope about forty
five degrees, the soap suddenly took hold,
and she came down on the floor with such
force as to knock pair Of ten dollar va
ses from a mantel up stairs. And there
she sat- reaching out for breath, when the
affrigbted family made their appearance,
while the offending tooth dangled from a
string against the door.

wOMAN'S VIRTUE,

1t is prevailing vice among men
of doubling the virtue of woman.
To us it looks like not only an out
rage to good taste, but also betokens
want of intellect. Besides this it
betokens besotted nature, and pas
sions that would disgrace a beast
The idea of dragging women down
to mans level in point of virtue, is
so rspugnant to the feelings, 50 utter
ly at variance with the truth, that
the utterer ought not to have place
in civil society.
We would wish to impress upon
those who cast this slur upon the
character of the women of our land,
that if what they charge were true,
this fair world of ours would be per-
feet hell. The women of our land
are as far above those who make
these assertions as the heavens are
above the earth. Our women are the
highest type of purity and virtue,
and any craven who would drive
them from this high estate deserves
the execrations of all good men.

AN OBSTINATE MOTHER.

of Mullet street, found a euchre deck

"I'll play you! she Kissed tight

Mother, you shouldn't trump me

"TrumpS! trumps! What do
you know about trumps ?
"Why, mother, any fool knows
that the right and left bower will
take an ace every time.

OF course it will; if diamonds are

Or, suppose that spades were

Oh I'll show you what I'd do she

A GOOD HEART.

There was a great master among
the Jews who babe his scholars con
slider and tell him wherein a MAJ
should always keep. One came and
said that there was nothing better
than a good eye, which is, in their
language, a liberal and contented
disposition. Another said a good
companion is the best thing in the
world. A third said a good neigh
Dor was the best thing he could de,
sire; and a fourth preferred a man
that could foresee things to come
this is, a wise person. But at last
came in one Eleazor, and he said a
good heart was better than them all.
True" said the master, thou hast
comprehended in two words all that
the rest have said; for he that hath
a good heart. will be both contented
and good neighbor, and easily see
what is tit to be done by him.
Let every man, then, seriously la
Dor to find in himself sincerity and
uprighlness of heart at all times, and
that will save him abundance of other
labor.

FAT MEAT FOR CoNsUMprWES.-A

FAT MEAT FOR CONSERVATIVES "A
taste for fat meat is unfortunately,
not universal among children, and
when it does show itself it is often,
almost universally, repressed by par
ents. This taste is an expression of
the wants of the living system which
we can not disregard with impunity.
Without fats the organism cannot be
built up in perfection. Fats coun~
terac. the tondency to consumption.
Observation has established the in
teresting fact that persons who in
early life show taste for fat meat
seldom fall victims to that disease
and vtcc UerSa that consumptives
have generally shown an early re-
pugnance to such food. There can
be no question as to the lesion taught
by the fact, that when the appetite
exists it ought to be INDUCED, and
that, if possible, it ought, when want
ing, to be created by tonics and
abundant exercise in the open air.

HER CORSET SAVED HER LIFE
4. w. B. Hitchcock, a resident of
Naugautuck, Conn, attempted to
murder his wife last week by Shoots
ing her with a pistol. The ball
struck the steel of her corsets, near
the heart, and glanced off leaving
her comparatively uuhsrmed. She
then ran cut of the house. Hitch
cock pursued her to the door, but
having but one leg, and seeing that
she would certainly escape and re-
port his murderouS assault, he shot
himself through the right breast and
died in about fifteen minutes.

A FooT LAMP.-One of the most
interesting things in the Holy Land,
is the fact that one meets everywhere
in daily life the things that illustrate
the words of the Lord. The streets
of Jerusalem are very narrow, and
no one is allowed to go out of night
without light. Throw open your
lattice in the evening and look out,
and you will see what seems to be
little stars twinkling on the pave>
ment You will hear the clatter of
sandals, as the late traveller rattles
along. AS the party approaches you
will see that he has little lamp to
his foot to make his step a safe one.
In an instant the voice comes to your
memory, written in that same city
three thousand years ago. "Thy
word is lamp to my feet, and a light
to my path"
