A BRIGHT idea in statistics has been
struck in Massachusetts. In calling for
"blind and deaf they get every person so
afflicted to tell of all of his or her relatives
similarly suffering, then they count all.
In this way they avoid missing any. More
than that they make magnificent gains.
Suppose six persons in a family are deaf.
Each reports the other five, and altogether
the census-taker gets thirty-six on record
where six exist tits simple process.

The Tornado in Knox County, Ill.

AT six O'Clock last night this vicinity
was visited by damaging tornado that
scattered destruction along its entire
track. It is first heard from at Alexis,
Warren County where it took an easterly
course, and crossed the northern suburbs
of Galesburg, demolishiDg everything in
its course. It was about haiEmile in
width. The first place that was struck
was George Furpening's house, which was
entirely destroyed. Next came the resi-
dence of Mr.. o. Hultz, which was whirled
high in the air in a thousand splinters
The home of John Anderson was demol-
ished, killing his wife and severely injur-
ing him. John McGraw's house, Henry
MaXwell's barn, corn cribs and orchards
were leveled. p s. Nelson's hay-sheds
were demolished, and six acres of orchard
blown over. The house was badly dam
aged, and forty acres of corn taken up by
the roots, while forty or fifty acres
additional were more or less dam
aged. Three boys are missing, and
are supposed to have been picked
up by the tornado and killed. The
houses Of Seakery Brown and Robert
Stott were destroyed. Barney Conley's
house was blown down. A house and
barn belonging to Peter Coffee were over
turned. John McGrath had 900 bushels
of corn in crib blown away and large
number of hogs killed. A dead steer was
found which had been carried one mile
from its pasture. The foregoing occurred
within two or three miles of Galesburg.
Passing on, the funnel-shaped destroyer
prostrated everything in its path till il ar.
rived at Wataga, eight miles northeast,
where A. breeds house, haystacks, or
chards, etc, were destroyed, j. Holyoke's
corncrib demolished, Thomas Woolley's
barn unrOofed, DR.. Slater's barn moved
from its foundations, Mrs Anna Wild's
house overturned, and herself nearly
killed. Houses, stables and other buildings
belonging to Henry Vale, W. II. Smith,
J. Olson, Mrs. Swanson and Mrs. Delane
were torn down and the debris scattered
far and wide. On went the tornado to near
Knoxville, where the Eouse of Mr.. Barton
was laid in ruins over the family's heads,
one child being injured beyond recovery,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Barton being danger
ously injured. 1t is impossible to give
but a meager idea of the extent of the
damage to crops Whole fields of grain
that had been stacked were swept away
and cOrn-fields are laid waste for miles in
extent. No possible estimate can be
placed upon the damage at present, as it
extends over fifteen or twenty miles of
country. The greatest excitement has ex-
listed in this city all day and the different
points along the line of disaster have been
visited by persons whose friends and rel
atives are victims. 1t is generally con-
ceded that this visitation is without paral-
lei in the history of Knox County.-Gales-
burg dug. g. Dispatch to Chicago Tribune.

The positions are reversed, and 1 am

The thought is not pleasant, but its
effect is momentary. No, l do not fear

with all my shortcoming, in preference to

Maud-what is to be done for her? Moth
ing-I see that-nothing. Time, the
never-failing remedy for all ills, will heal
her wound, and when hers is healed mine
will be gone.
The cup of life is not all sweets. This
morning has taught me that; but it has
shown me that love will more than
counterbalance the bitter. All mel no
rose without thorn; and my rose is so
large and so fair, surrounded as it is with
clustering hopes of future joy, that 1
scarcely credit the existence of thorn.
Should occasionally feel it-what then?
Why, am thankful that its wound is no
greater, thankful that my rose seems all
the sweeter for the contrast.-N. 7. World.

away. A very valuable orchard, one of
two in that section of country, was com
pletely twisted to pieces A large amount
of clothing and bedding was blown into
the woods and torn into shreds. One man
was lucky enough in his misfortunes to
find an old shoe out by his stable in which
he had deposited ninety.nine dollars. He
also had some silver pieces which were
blown around, but he succeeded in finding
them, all but one piece. Several horses
were badly injured. Mr.. Marshall lost
one of considerable value.

AMONG THE LILIES.

SHE stood among the lilies
In slnseps brightest rays;
Amoug the tall June lilies,
As stately fair as they,
And ], a boyish lover then,
Looked once, and, lingering, looked again,
And life began that day.
She sat among the lilies,
My sweet, all lily-pale;
The summer lilies listened,
whispered low my talel
o golden autlersl breathing balm
o hush Of peacel o twilight calml
Did you or / prevail?
She lies among the lily-snows,
Beneath the wintry sky;
All round her and about her
The buried lilies lie.
They will wake at touch of spring,
And she, my fair and hower.like thing,
In spring -time-by and by.

WHY SHE MEYER TOLD HER
LOVE.

Could II be virgin bashfulness
That still concealed the tender thought?
Or fear she might perchance confess
A love that was not sought?
Was It mere womanly caprice?
Or pride? or maidenly reserve?
Was II respect for mental peace?
Or mercy want of nerve?
She could not choose but understand,
He thought, his little game of sighs,
Slow parting pressures Of the hand,
Soft words, and speaking eyes"
The reason Why (this was above
Ten years Ago) he now knows well:
She simply never told her love
Because--she'd none 10 tell!

The Cholera Cure.

More than forty years ago, when it was
found that prevention for the Asiatic chol-
era was easier than cure, the learned doc
tors of both hemispheres drew up pre-
(for workingpeople), which
was published in the New York
San, and took the name of 1.-THE
Sun Cholera Mixture" Our contem-
porary never lent its name to a better
article. We have seen ii in constant use
for nearly two-scOre years, and found it to
be the best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. 1t is to be COM
mended for several reasons. 1t is not to
be mixed with liquor, and therefore will
not be used as an alcoholic beverage Its
ingredients are we'll known among all
people, and it will have no preju-
dice to combat; each of the materials is in
equal proportion to the others, and 1t may
therefore be compounded without profes-
sional skill, and. as the dose is so very
small il may be carried in a tiny phial in
the waistcoat pocket, and be always at
hand. 1t is:
Tinct. opii,
Capsici,
Rhei co.,
Menth pip,
Campho.
Mix the above in equal parts; dose, ten
to thirty drops. In plain terms, take equal
parts tincture of opium, red pepper, rhu-
barb peppermint and camphor, and mix
them for use In case of diarrhea take a
dose of ten to twenty drops in three oil
four teaspoOnfuls of water. No one who
has this by him, and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera. We commend
it to our Western friends, and hope tha
the recipe will be widely published Ever
