PERFECTLY SATIsFAcToRY.-Shes said she

grocer was counting them out she asked the
price. He told her, and she shrieked:
"Seventeen cents?"
eyes, ma am"
"Why, that's outrageous"
"Well, its hard times and everything's up"
She sat down on sugar barrel, sighed sew
eral times, and asked if eggs were likely to be
lower or higher.
II don't claim to be prophet" he replied,
as he twisted sheet of paper into the shape
of funnel, "but dare say they'll be down
to sixteen and one-half cents in less than a
week, and perhaps 60 lower. Trade, which is
naturally depressed during July and August,
is looking up little. Our exports Of gold
are now equaled by our imports. The calling
in of bonds puts more ready money aAoat,
and capitalists are much more hopeful this
week than last. The crops are about ready
to move, navigation prospects are brighter,
and public confidence in financial measures
is rapidly returning. One thing moves around
another, you see, and though, as l said before,
l am not a 6nancier, and my predictions are
not entitled to any great weight, it seems clear
to me, that eggs have got to come down. A
great current of eggs is setting toward this
point from a dozen different directions, and
even if the calling in Of bonds and the sale of
surplus gold don't produce lower prices, l
cannot see why figures should 60 up"
She reached into the pickle barrel, nipped
a cucumber, and went away wondering why
her husband never knew anything.

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE PooR-Cofee,
tea, pepper and spices are left to stand open
and lose their strength.
Brooms are never hung up, and are soon
spoiled.
Nice handled knives are thrown into hot
water.
The flour is sifted in wasteful manner,
and the bread pan is left with the dough stick
ing to it.
Clothes are left on the line to whip to pieces
in the wind
Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to dry
and fall apart.
Dried fruit is not taken care of in season,
and becomes wormy.
Rags, string and paper are thrown into the
fire.
Pork spoils for want Of salt, and beef be-
cause the brine wants scalding.
Bits of meat, vegetables, bread, and cold
puddings are thrown away, when they might
be warmed, steamed, and served as good as

A MERc1FUL FR1END.-An elephant be-
longing to an English garrison in the Indies,
was one day amusing himself with his chain
in an open part of the town, when man who
had committed a theft, and was pursued by
great number of people, despairing of all 9TH
er means of safety, ran under the elephant.
delighted with the poor mans
confidence, the creature instantly faced about
and met the crowd, erected his trunk, and
threw his chain in the air, as is the manner of
these animals when engaged with the enemy,
and became 80 furious in defense Of the GRIM
nal that, Notwithstanding all the gentle arts
made use of by the surrounding multitude,
neither they or even his mahout, or driver, to
whom be was fondly attached, and who was
sent for to manage him, could prevail with
him to give up the malefactor. The animals
wonderful kindness met with reward. After
three hours contest, the governor heard of
this strange rebellion to the laws Of the land,
and came to the scene of struggle. He was
so much pleased with the generous persever-
ance of the honest quadruped, that he yielded
to the elephants interposition and pardoned
the criminal. The poor man, in an ecstacy
of gratitude, testified his acknowledg gment by
kissing and embracing the proboscis of his
kind benefactor, who was apparently so sem
sibeof what had happened that, laying aside
all his former violence, he became perfectly
tame and gentle in an instant, and suffered
his keeper to conduct him away without the
least resistance.

BATHING WHEN TIRED.-One Of the most
prevalent fallacies that disturb the public
mind to-day, is the idea that it is harmful to
20 into the water when heated with work,
walking, running or exercise of any kind.
How many times, when boys, have we had
that Injunction laid upon US by anxious moth
ers, not to 60 into the water when we were
warm perspirng. But we often used to see
our playmates 60 into the water when literal
ly dripping with sweat, and could not under
stand how they could escape the dread conse-
quences which we had always been led to be-
lieve would follow. The true rule seems to
be, rather, not to battle when the system is
tired or exhausted and if this rale is faithful
ly carried out, any one in good health may
take plunge bath in cold water, however
warm they may be- When the system is fresh
it reacts quickly from the numbing effects OF
the cold dash, leaving the person feeling fresh
er and clearer than before. On the contrary,
when worn with toll and fatigue, there is not
that reserve force to draw upon, and the con-
sequences are often quite serious. Let parents
and all others disabuse themselves of thatex-
ploded notion, and onl:;' bear in mind the
rule here brought forward-never to bathe
when the body is tired and the system not in
a condition to sustain further demands upon
it-Science Of Health.

WASHINGTON,S STRENGTH.

A writer at Arlington House, in 1854, ask
ed Mr.. Gusts if Washington could, like Mar
shall SAKE, break horseshoe, and the reply
he received was, he had no doubt he could
had he tried, for his hands were the largest
and strongest he had ever seen. Mr. Gusts
then gave several instances Of the Generals
strength, of which he recalls the following:
When Washington was young man, he was
present on one occasion, as looker-on, at
wrestling games, then the fashion in Virginia.
Tired of the sport, he had retired to the shade
of tree, where he sat perusing pamphlet,
till challenged to bout by the hero of the
day, and the strongest wrestler in the State.
Washington declined, until taunted by the
remark that he feared to try conclusions with
the gladiator, he calmly came forward, and
without removing his coat, grappled with his
antagonist There was fierce struggle for
brief space of time, when the champion was
hurled to the ground with such tremendous
force as to jar the very marrow of his bones.
Another instance of his prodigous power was
his throwing the stone across the Rappahan.
mock at Fredericksburg-a feat that has
never been performed since. Later in life, a
number of young gentlemen at Mount Yer
non were contending in the exercise of throw
ing the bar. Washington, after looking on
while, walked forward, saying, "Allow me to
try" and grasping the bar, sent the iron fly
ing through the air twenty feet beyond its
usual limits. Still later in his career Wash
ington, whose age was like lusty winter,
"frosty yet kindly" observed three Of his
workmen at Mount Vernon, vainly endeavor-
ing to raise large stone; when, tired Of wit
Messing their unsuccessful attempts, he put
them aside, and taking it in his iron-like
grasp, lifted it to its place, remounted his
horse, and rode on.

CURIOUS NoTIoNs.-Dr. Kane's account of
the huts of the Esquimaux, and Of their filthy
personal habits, was hard to reconcile with the
theories of physicians that pure air and cleanli-
illness are essential to good health. An ex.
change tells of wealthy English widow who
lived to old age, though she never washed
herself or her room. She reasoned after this
fashion:
If the room were wetted, she might catch
cold if the windows were cleaned, glass might
be broken, and somebody hurt She never
washed herself, for fear of cold. AS substi-
tute, she anointed her face and neck with
little milk and hogs lard, finished off with
touch of rose pink on the cheeks. She was
methodical in all her habits, eating with one
particular knife, fork and plate, and drinking
out of one cup. She had excellent health,
abhorred physics and doctors, and cut two
teeth at the age of eighty-seven. She had no
near relations, and refused to see those more
distantly related. One pleasant characteris-
tic is recorded. She had large, well-kept
garden, in which she passed most of her time
reading. Although she lived entirely through
the reign of the First and Second George,
and so far into that of the Third, she contin.
ued to wear fashions Of the time of George l.,
as being those of her married life. Notwith-
standing this, she was everywhere treated with
respect. Perhaps her gold had something to
do with that, however.

BEFORE AND AFTER-A wise woman has
this to say of quarrels, both before and after
marriage: "People talk of lovers quarrels as
rather pleasant episodes-probably because
they are not quarrels at all. She pouts; he
kisses. He frowns; she coaxes. 1t is half
play, and they know it. Matrimonial quar-
rels are another thing. I doubt seriously, if
married people ever truly forgive each other
after the first falling out. They gloss it over;
they kiss and make up the wound apparently
heals, but only as some of those horrible
wounds given in battle do, to break out again
at some unexpected moment. The man who
has sneered and said cruel things to a sensi-
tive woman never has her whole heart again.
The woman who has uttered reproaches to a
man can never be taken to his bosom with
the same tenderness as before those words were
spoken. The two people who must never
quarrel are husband and wife. One may fall
out with kinsmen and make up and be friends
again. The tie of blood is a strong one, and
affection may return after it has blown away;
but love, once banished, is dead and buried
thing. The heart may ache, but it is with
bopelessness. 1t may be impossible to love
any one else, but it is more impossible to re-
store the old idol to its empty niche. For
word or two, for sharpening of the wit, for
a moments self:assertion, two people have of.
ten been made miserable for life. For, what.
ever there may be before, there are no lovers
quarrels after marriage"

Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your Vegetine a medicine Of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years OF
age for the last two years he has suffered from
crosis Of his leg, caused by scrofulous Affection
and was far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. council of able
physicians could give us but the faintest hope of
his ever rallying; two of the number declar-
ing that he was be, ond the reach of human rene.
dies, that even amputation could not save him. as
he had not vigor enough to endure the operation.
Just then we commenced giving him Vegetine and
from that time to the present he has been continu-
Ously improving. He has lately resumed studies,
thrown away his crutches and cane and walks
about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles Of Vege-
tine, but lately uses put ltle as he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
Il. s. BEST,
MRS. l.. T.. +. BEST.
