SOMEHOW OR OTHER.

Life has burden for every one's shoulder, None may escape from it's troubles and care: Miss it in youth and twill come when were
 older,
 And fit us as close as the garment we wear. Sorrow comes into our homes uninvited, Robbing the heart of it's treasure Q. song; Lovers grow cold and our friendships are
 sighted,
 Yet sowehow or other we hasten along. Mid the sweet bloss 0ms that smile in our faces Grow ihe dank weeds that would poison and
 blight; And cen in the midst Of earths beautiful places There's always a something that isn't just right, Yet oft from rock we may pluck gay flower, And drink from a spring in desolate waste; They come to the heart ike heavenly dover, And aaaght is so sweet to The eye or the taste. Everyday toll is an everyday blessing, Though poyciiy's cottage and crust we may
 share; Weak is the back on which burdens arc pressing, But stout is the heart that is strengthened by
 prayer. Somehow or other the pathways grow brighter, Just when we mourDed there Was none 10 be-
 friend; Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
 lighter,
 And somehow or other we get to the end.

Highly Magnetic Lightning-Rod Peddler

He drove his team close up to the fence, got down and rapped at the door. The Wid- ow Giikens opened it, when he said: 'Mrs. Gikens. am cogniZant of the circumstances by which you are at present surrounded, left as your are 10 trudge down the journey of life through cold and heartless world-no longer sustained and encouraged by the noble one to whom you gave the treasures of your hearts affection, and bowed down by the manifold cares and responsibilities incidental to the rearing of eight small children on for ty acres of subcarboniierous limestone land :; yet, Mrs. GilkenS, you are aware that the season Is now approaching when dark, dismal. dangerous clouds at frequent intervals span the canopy of heaven; and Jwhen Zigzag streaks of electricity dart promiscuously hither and thither, rendering this habltatiOn unsafe for yourself and those dear little ones -hence, therefore, let me sell you a copper wire, silvertipped and highly magnetic light ming rod"
 The woman staggered back few paces and yelled: "Narcis unfasten old Cronch !' In another instant savage bulldog came darting around the corner of the house with brisiles up, thirsting fore gore. The dog had already maneled a machine agent and pat ent soap man, and was held in great esteem by the better class of citizens for his courage and service but when his eye met the hard penetrating gaze of Mr. Parsons, his chops fell and he slinlcd off and hid in the currant bushes.

ANTIDoTEs FOR POISON.
MERcURY.

The Bicloride of Mercury Corrosive Sub limate). often used as solution in house: for destroying verrnin about beds, is one O the most active poisols, when taken inter naly The Red Oxide of Mercury (Red l Precipitate) is another dangerous salt of the same metal. When swallowed, the White of Eggs should at once be given, and often repeated. In the absence of this form oi | albume1, common milk can be used, or wheat l Flour beaten up with Water. These Salts of Mercury not only :rritate the stomach, but so rapidly infame and de | stroy it that some writers discourage the use of Emetics. If one can be given, however, 1 before the poison has had time to produce 1 these extreme results, there can be no objec- tion to its use. The continued administra- tion of the mentioned Antidotes Is soon followed, as rule, by free vomiting. There really appears to be no excuse for keeping such Poisons about house as Cor rosive Sublimate or Rcd Precipitate. They are merely poor substitutes for good house. keeping.
 POTASH.
 The Caustic Potash, in the form of com mon Lye, or the Concentrated Lye, when swallowed, acts as other Alkalies of the same general character.
 Nitrate of Potash (Saltpeter), in large doses, say half an ounce or more, taken in- ternally, is followed by poisonous symptoms. There is pain, with heat in the stomach, vomiting, and purging of blood, great pros tration, and other symptoms denoting the action of an irritant poison.
 No antidote is known. The treatment consists in rapidly evacuating the contents of the stomach by an Emetic, and the free administration of mucilaginous drinks, with some Paregoric every little while, to allay the pain and irritation of the intiamed parts.
 PHOSPHORUS.
 This is not often taken in 8 state of purity, perhaps. It is the active ingredient of most O: the popular "Exterminators" for rats anG other vermin. Children have been known to eat it with fatal results. They have alo eaten the ends of common matches with similar consequences. Phosphorus acts as an irritant poison, inhaming the mucous membrane with which it comes in contact.
 There is no antidote known. Some Cal eined Magnesia may be given, in plenty of water, to be rapidly followed by an emetic, drinks.
 \.
 Several compounds of this substance are used by Dyers, and have been used as poi sons. They all act as irrtant poisons. The treatment consists in copious draughts of Milk, White of Eggs in Water, and Flour and Water.
 ZINC
 The Sulphate of Zinc White VitrioD may be termed poisonous in very large doses, were it not for the fact, constantly turned to good use, that it at once causes vomiting. and is brought up before damage can be done Hence it is regarded as one of our most valuable Emetics.
 SODA.
 The same things are to be said about this Alkali as about Potash, Ammonia, and Lime. The rapid action of these substances upon the parts which they come in contact leaves little to be done with much confidence.

DR. HAsRIs in his book on insects says speaking of the house-tiy: "The swarms oI summer are the progeny ofa few individual: who have survived the rigorous winter ir some protected nook, and are not produced from eggs laid the preceding season. A sin gle female will produce about 20 GOO young.' It is mistaken kindness ts brush these creat- ures out of the window as so many do, who though they do not hesitate to kill mosquit- oes, feel bound to spare the lives of equally noxious flies. A writer says: "If every grown person Qor children ought not to do it) would untiinching destroy every fly that appears in spring, the race would be swept from the face of the earth.n

E. Pratt, Conductor of the De Murska Concert troupe, and dedltated to Alice Cunning Lingard and Dickie Lingard, respectively.

THE DEEPEST WELL.-In the village of Sperenberg, about % miles distant from Berlin, is situated the deepest we'll in the world. It is for some distance l6 feet in diameter and is 1, 194 feet in depth. It was begun about five years ago by the govern inert authorities with view to ascertain ing the existence of rock-salt beneath the stratas of gypsum occurring in the locality. At a depth of 3S0 feet the salt was reached, but the boring was continued to a depth of 9S0 feet, the diameter of the bore being re- duced to about l3 inches. The boring was subsequently, prosecuted by steam until the final depth of 4,l94 feet was attained. At the lowest point, the salt deposits still con- tinue, exhibiting the enormous thickness of 2,907 feet.

X MARITAL UNPLEAsANTNEsS IN JAvA.-A Java chief, who is now very old, has given orders that on his decease his two youngest wives shall be killed, in order to accompany him to the next world The two women be- came aware of the fate awaiting them, and fled to the English fort on the border, where they put themselves under the protection of the English flag. The chief was furious on hearing this, and formed plan to get back his fugitive wives. But the young women were neither ready nor willing to die, and, having found out that their souls and bodies were as much their own rpoperty as his, they propose remaining where life is not held so cheaply as in their native province.

CHIcEEN-RAlsISG ExTRAoRDfNARY.-T brothers named Calf have established man. moth hennery in Colorado, ten miles from Denver. It covers four acres, which is laid out like village, with streets and avenues, along which are built long rows of houses of various designs. Regular families are assign ed to these houses, and it is found that they quickly domesticate themselves, without troubling their neighbors. The population of the village Is about 2,000 divided closely in- to social cliques of Brahmas, Cochins, Shang, haes, and Dorkings, and the products are eggs and spring chickens. Sundays included, the industrious matrons of the viii lage turn out daily from forty to fifty dozens of eggs, which are sold for from Soto % cents dozen. The brothers Calf express but single regret, and that is that they did not found their colony fifteen years ago, when eggs brought S5 dozen, and aspiring chick ems was worth pennyweight of gold-dust.
