confounded, but thare IL rally much
odds between them.
Lazy folks hate to work, bu3when they
do set about thing, they dten do it

shiftless person IL az often bzzy doing
things so sloyingly that it disgsts every
body.
/ hav seen lazy wimmin WHO were az
neat, and NJ klean az MI 3 cent piece,
and L have seen shifiicss ones who waz Az
bizzy az bunny bee i'll a sugGr Darrell,
and az badly daubed up.
Shiftless people make almostaz mulch

They never do ennything entirely right,
and perhaps not entirely wrong, and yu

Useful Hints for the Home Circle.

IT is said that half o cranberry, bound
on a corn, will soon kill it.
To MAKE silk which has been winkled
appear like new, sponge the surface with
a weak solution of gum-arabic, and iron
on the wrong side.
PICTURE and mirror frames are pre-
served from flies by painting them with
brush dipped into liquid made by
boiling three or four onions in pint Of
water.
SHOULD the top of your lamp become
loose, take it off and wash it with soap.
Wash the glass also then put plaster of
Paris around the glass, put the brass top
on again, let it stand until hardened, and
it is ready for use again. a lamp never
should be filed quite full, as the kero-
sene softens the plaster.
A GOOD moth preventive is this Mix
half-a-pint Of alcohol, the same quantity
of spirits of turpentine, and two ounces
of camphor, Keep i'll a stone bottle and
shake before using. The cloths or furs
are to be wrapped in linen, and crumpled
up pieces OF blotting paper, dipped in
the liquid, are to be placed in the box
with them, so that it smells strongly.
This requires renewing shout once a
year.
liz sleep is taken after dinner it should
be in the sitting posture, IS the horizon
tai position Immediately after a full meal
is unfavorable to healthfll digestion.
But those who need rest and sleep dur
ing the day should take it before dinner.
A writer on the subject says "Ten
minutes sleep before dinner is worth
more than an hour after. 1t rests and
refreshes, and prepares the system for
vigorous digestion.
The spare beds in every house should
be kept free from all covering save a
light spread, and both bed and spread
should be regularly aired. Merely COW

A Condemned Mans Hair Turns White
Suddenly.

Father Lechner visited Ike Hooper,
the condemned murderer, early yester-
day morning, and informed him OF the
refusal of Governor Smith to grant Exc
cutive clemency. Hooper was at first
much agitated, and trembled like a leaf
shaken 10y the wind, but soon became
more composed, and during the day
seemed to have become more reconciled
to his fate. A remarkable fact in con-
nection with this case is an exemplifi-
cation of the oft-told story that mems
hair sometimes turns gray in single
night. When Hooper was sentenced by
Judge Pottle last month'his hair was per-
fectly black. The morning after the sen
tence was imposed Mr.. Bridges, Keeper
of tile JAIN noticed ON entering the con
denied mans cell that a portioh of his
head was perfectly white. He immedi-
ately asked him where he hed obtmned

A PERrLogs SLEIGH RIDE.-The
Hartford Post says that well-known
Captain of that t., who owns fast horse,
concluded that he would take sleigh
vide the other day, and with his wife
went to Winsdor Locks by the way of
the river. They arrived safely, visited
their friends, and toward night started
for home. 1t had commenced showing,
and their friends were anxious about
their ride home. But the Captain,
knowing the speed of the animal he
owned, bet that he could do it in q given
time. The bet was taken, and he started
and made half the distance inside of
time. Then the wind, which was blow
ing squall, struck the sleigh, throwing
it clear round, and nearly throwing the
horse down. He started off again, and
had gone but short distance when the
squat again struck them, swinging the
sleigh around with great force, and this
time throwing the horse. The Captain
got ont to get the horse up and was
blown some rods away, and so blinded
by the snow that he could not see the
team, and could only regain it by following
the sound of his wifes voice. He final
ly reached the team, however, got the
horse up without damage, and started
for the city, where he arrived behind the
time stated. He says it's the FIRST time
he was ever frightened.

Horrible Death from the Bite OF Z
TnrautLIa. ,

Mrs. Jervis, the wife of a Mariner hF-
ing near Sacramento, died few days
ago in this city from the bite of taraal-
tula. The case is singular, and Is anoNh-
er instance of the deadly attributes OF
this insect, not uncommon in many Dor
tons of California. Some six months
ago, Mrs. Jervis, then living on her hus-
bands farm, had occasion to strike a
light, and going to closet felt about for
a match. While so doing she found
something in "a piece OF writing paper
which she thought mightbe bunch OF
matches, and took hold of 1t. As she
did she feft sharp pain like the prick
of n needle or pin, and found something
attached to her fore-tinger. She screened
with terror. Her husband rose, lit q
candle, and to his horror found that she
was bitten by a tarantula-whose poison
is deadly unless the wound be immediate
~ cauterized. He told his wife that she
had only one chance of her life, to have
the injured part cut out. She consented,
and getting his razor, he cut q piece one
inch square out of her finger. THE unfort-
innate woman stood the operation hero
ically, but It's effects We're not such as
were desired. She fingered for six
months in continual agony, her blood
literally drying up, till she was reduced
to an absolute skeleton. Three months
before her death her entire right side
became paralyaed; yet, strange to say,
the hand had tendency to crawl, and the
fingers necessarily moved like the legs
of a spider. This feeling she said she
could not control, and it presents one OF
the strongest phases of this disease,
though usual accompaniment, so
averred, of poisoning by insects of
the spider l1ind--,Sdn Francisco Post,
