An Acre al Ground swallow cd
tn.

From the New Albany tInd.J Ledger.l
Last night, about $3.50 o'clock, the
family Of Mr.. William Wa,tam, a
gentleman residing some four miles
from the city, on the river road. to-
gerber with several friends from the
cith were attracted by loud noise
coming from the bank Of the river,
about hundred yards below the
house. The whole party FASTENED in
the dIrec. ION Of the noise, and on
their arrival, found that a portion Of
the preci itous river bank had slid
into the river. While they were
standing, looking into the abyss be
low, where were mingled together n
mass of trees, bushes and earth,
whiring around as if in a whirl pool,
a cracking hoise was heard directly
in the rear. and on looking around,
the dismayed party found that the
ground was slipping away directly
under them and on all sides. They
beat hasty retreat to more solid
ground, barely escaping being swept
into the boiling flood below. One
young lady, Cora Cotton. sinking up
to her shoulders. and Mr. Briggs, in
his endeavors to rescue her, falling
into the same predicament. When
the party had eNtricated themselves
from their perilous situation, and
thought themselves safe, the earth
made another shift, this time the
whole party sliding down to the edge
Of the water, from whence they
climbed to the bank with the great
est difficulty. An examination of
the premises this morning disclosed
the fact that over one acre of ground,
and the road in front Of the farm, the
ground being planted in cabbage,
had been swallowed up in the abyss,
the space caved in being thirty feet
deep, seventy-fve feet wide, and
about one hundred yards in length.

The Taunton (Mass.) Gazette tells
of a young man who recently con-
ceived the brilliant idea OF popping
the question by postal card. Accor-
dinghy he dispatched one to the idol
of his heart, bearing simply his name
and this character: "?' His feelings
can be imagined on receiving by re.
turn mail card inscribed most en-
ergetically: 81" When last seen he
had checked his collar box for Chics-
60, and was inquiring the price OF
through tickets to the West.

The submarine tunnel between
England and France, so long a mat
ter of speculation and engineering
ambition, is now put to a practical
test. The enterprise is one OF the
boldest ever attempted, and. if sue.
cessful, will certainly pave the way
to series Of submarine excavations
which, to future generations may
prove means Of almost entirely do
ing away with the dangers Of the
sea.

THE HER AID
A Talk To Mothers.
From the Western Farm Journal.

from the western ~
DEAR SISTERS If you have not al
ready prepared for winter. you should
be at it. Get down the flannel and
wooden clothes AID lCok over them.
They should have alI been mended if
necessary before they were put away.
II is about as essential to wear Ham
nel now as in mid winter, as tho
cbangeable weather is likely to pro-
duce colds. which are the base OF
nearly ell sickness flesh is heir to-.
Do not forget the little ones who are
scarcely old enough TO make known
their wants. Clothe them warm,
provide them good shoes that will
keep their feet dry, feed them judi
ciously, and | will insure good health.
| am grieved often when | attend
church and see the poor little things
hatf clad and nearly frozen, just be-
cause Mrs Grundy thinks they look
pretty. Dear mothers, if you want
dolls. for the cbildren's sake 90 to
the store and buy them, but do not
attempt to convert your offspring
into them. L never hear of nor see
a child forced to swallow some OBJ
noxious stuff but | think the dose
should be given to the parents for
their negligence and carelessness o.
in some instances ignorance. Many,
because of kind of false modesty,
neglect to study physiology while
young; although they know that
the lot of the majority of females is
to get married, and therefore sooner
or later become mothers.
| am glad that the laws of Iowa
have admitted physiology into our
district schools, and | hope our large
boys and girls will lay aside false
modesty, and engage in the study of
themselves with pure minds and a
determination to no longer remain in
ignorance of the general laws of their
being. 1t is more essential that our
young women should understand the
laws of life and health than young
meB, for upon them depend to a
greater extent the care of children.
Many girls large and small, attend
school with 10 covering below the
knee other than stocking, and per-
haps cotton at that. This is wrong.
Look at your more sturdy brothers,
with flannel socks, drawers, good
heavy pants. and over all this thick
boot leg. Put on some good flannel
drawers, which will extend below the
shoe tops beneath the stockings /;
then the stockings, and over this
some heavy pants supported from
tho shoulders. Never mind Madam
Fashion. Ii it were known, many
Of the diseases known as "Female

with. He was put up to live hun
bred and twenty years, The patriarchal
span Of life. Troubles and hGrdships
in early days have undoubtedly
shortened his life from twenty to
forty years, so that, accidents excep-

eighty and hundred. He is six feet
high, and uncommonly compact and
we'll muscled. He measures forty
four inches around the chest, and
such is his breadth in Mcpherson that
strangers who see him for the first
time in his short, gray business, coat
imagine him rather "stumpy" man
