An Elephant Story.

4 letter from Bishop Wilson says Tel
my grandchildren that an elephant had J:
disease in his eyes. Fer three days he had
been completely blind. His owner, an en-
gineer officer, asked my dear DR. Webb if
he could do anything to relieve the poor
animal The doctor said he would try the
nitrate of silver, which was remedy COM
monty applied to similar disease in the hui
man eye. Thc large animal was ordered
to lie down, and at first, on the application
Of the remedy, rfsed a most extraordinary
roar at the acute pain which it occasioned.
The effect, however, was wonderful. The
eye was IN manner restored, and ths.
animal could partially see. The next day
when he was brought and heard the doe
tors voice, he lay down of himself, placed
his enormous head on one side, curled W,

sigh of relief when it WAS over, and then,

The Life to Come.

What does a man take with him when
from the extreme verge Of life he launches
into what lies beyond? 1t looks as if he
took nothing. Be it the end, or be it a
new beginning, it seems a fatal breaking off
from all that life hitherto consisted in.
This is what makes it terrible
But if we look at it truly, his past life
is just the thing that a man takes with him
when he dies He takes himself And
that self is the product Of all his past ex-
pericnce and actions As an oak bears in
itself the result of every shower, that
through long years has freshened it, of every
gale that has toughened it or stripped its
boughs, of sunshine that has fed it and the
drouth that has parched it, so man, when
he stands at the end of life, is what he has
been made by all his joys, sufferings and ac-
tions. That is what he takes into another
world
The life to come and the life that now is
are parts of one another. They are rcla-
ted
The strength we gain by our victories
this year, and the weakness into which we
come by defeat, viii be part of us next
year So, there is not an act, not word
but casts its influence forward into the
morrow that lies beyond death.

Value Of Road Dust.

During dry season, every country resi-
dent should secure several barrels of road
dust. Those who keep poultry may Sc
cure, by its use, valuable fertilizer, near
ly as strong as guano, with none of its disa-
greeable odor. Place an inch or two of
road dust in bottom Of barrel, then, as
the poultry house is regularly cleaned, dc
posite layer an inch thick of the clean
ings, and so On, alternately layers of each
till the barrel is full The thinner each
layer is, the more perfect viii be the inter
mixture of the ingredients. If the soil Of
which the road dust is made is clayey, the
layers of each may be of equal thickness :;
if sandy, the layers should be at least twice
as thick as the droppings. Old barrels of
any kind may be used for this purpose, but
if previously soaked with crude petroleum
or coated with gas tar, they will last many
years. If the contents are pounded on a
floor into a fine powder before applying, the
fertilizer may be sown from Il drill. Road
dust is one of the most perfect deodorizers
ofvaults- converting their contents also into
rich manure Place barrel or box of it
into closet, with small dipper, and throw
pint into the vault each time it is occupied
and there will be no offensive odor what
ever This is simpler, cheaper and better
than Il water closet, and never freezes or
gets out of order Mixing road dust with
an equal built of road dust is an impreve-
ment, making the fertilizer more friable-

THE TEXAS CYCLONE.
Four Hundred Lives Lost and 295 Houses
Swept Away. ~

THE PLAIN COVERED FOR TEN MILES WITH
SEVEN FEET OF wATFR--A GALE
BLOWING SS MILES M HOUR--THE DE-
PREDATIONs OF HUMAN JAeKALS.
CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 23.-A special
New Orleans despatch to the Itlaes says
that parties who arrived from Indianoll
last night, and who were there during the
terrible cyclone, fully confirm all the re
ports OF the destruction of life and property
there. Out of three hundred houses only
five are left standing During Thursday
night, while the storm was at its hight the
water in the city rose over six feet in two
hours, the wind blowing eighty-eight miles
an hour, driving the water and breakers
through the city at the rate Of fifteen miles
an hour, sweeping everything i'll its way
and covering the plain in the rear of the
city for ten miles to depth Of several feet.
Several small settlements, numbering po-
pulation Of 100, were also swept ont Of ex-
istence making with the $50 lost at In
dianola total of 400 lives lost
The gentlemen conveying this in(orma-
ton gave most narrowing account Of the
destitution Of the survivors. When they
left Indianola Monday afternoon ninety
bodies had been recovered. The stencil in
the city from the putrefaction of these
bodies and with the stencil from dead ami
mails was almost intolerable 1t is also
stated that a party of Mexicans Sunday be-
gan robbing the dead bodies washed to the
plain four to six miles back of the city.
The scoundrels chopped fingers, hands and
ears from men and women to obtain jew
elry. As soon as this was heard Of in the
city party of citizens went out and killed
five Mexicans, whom they caught at the
devilish work.

Too Much for Butler.

An eminent lawyer of Boston tells the
following story \ flashily-dressod young
sprig entered Ben Buffers office and was
requested by Benjamin to be seated. The
request was complied with, and the young
man was asked to state his business. "Well,
Mr.. b., what would be the first thing for
me to do in order to learn the profession ?'
Benjamin fixed his weather eye upon the
nobby y-dressed young man and surveyed
him from his fashy necktie to his, highly
polished boots and exclaimed The first
thing you had better do would be to so
aud roll in barn yard An answer came
as quick as the suggestion in the following
terse language. "If | should come and
study two years in your Office, wouldn't it
DO just as well ?"

The Potato Field.

\ man in New London, Conn, thinks
he has made an accidental discovery of
preventive of the potato rot. He had a
field of potatoes nearly an acre in extent,
all apparently decaying, the vines having
wilted and turned back He resolved to
pull up the worst of the vines in part of
the rows, leaving the potatoes in the hills
\ month later he dug the crop and found
the product of the rows which he pulled to
be nearly double that of those left in their
former condition
