He Thought it was Delirium Tremens.

SNIFFLEs brought his two weeks spree
to close on Thursday night Ee Law
on lounge in the parlor, feeling as mean
as sour lager, when something in the
corner Ofthe room attracted his attention.
Raising on his elbow he gazed steadily
at it. Rubbing his eyes, he stared again.
and as he stared his terror grew. Call.
ing his wife, he asked hoarsely:
" Mirandy, what is that?"
What is what, Likey?"
Sniffies's name is Lycurgus, and his
wife calls him Likely for short and sweet
why that-that-thing in the corner"
said the frightened man, pointing at it
with hand shaking like politician.
Likely, dear, see nothing" replied
the woman.
What, you don't see itl' he shrieked
Then I've got 'em. Oh, heavens. bring
me the Bible. Mirandy, bring it quick!
Here, here on this sacred book / swear
never to touch drop of whisky. If /
break my vow, may my right hand
cleave to the roof of my mouth, and"
Here, catching another glimpse of the
terrible object, he clutched his wife and
begged in piteous tones:
"Don't leave NEEDN'T leave your
Likely" and, burying his face in the folds
of her dress, he sobbed and moaned him
self into troubled sleep.
Then his wife stole gently to the corner,
picked up the toy snake and threw it in
to the stove.-NeO Brmts1scker

" Ticket, STRIP

This was the way it happened. One
of the regular attendants at Central
Church is railroad conductor. He Is
regular, not so much from any personal
prediction for Calvinism, as from the
fact that he has first-rate Presbyterian
wife who keeps him in the way he should
go. A few Sundays since one OF the Dea
cons was absent, and our conductor was
requested to pass the plate. Of course
he consented. For the first dozen pews
everything passed off well. There was a
regular financial shower OF nickels and
dimes, and the railroad man watched
sharp, but couldn't see that anybody
"got away" without responding Finally
he came to a scat where the occupant
was either busted or disinclined, for he
shook his head, but made no attempt on
his pocket. The conductor looked at
HIM sharply, but no cash appeared. Then
he nudged his shoulder, and softly called.
"Ticket, sir!" Again the mans head
wagged horizontally, but the stamps
didn't come Pass, then" whispered
the conductor. Still no response. Just
as the railroad chap was about to call
up the fireman and brakeman to help
pitch the impecunious worshiper out of
doors the regular Deacon came in and
relieved his proxy. The conductor says
he believes in running church the same
way you would a railroad train. If a
man won't pay, or hasn't pass, let him
git.-Edster7s Paper.

A Baltimore Miser.

Baltimore is called upon to mourn
the death of an elderly miser who, in his
Journey through this world, had spent
little else than his life A short time be-
fore his dea n he informed a friend that
he had never given away cent nor
spent one when the expenditure could
possibly be avoided -Four years ago he
married third wife, and though she was
young, and he was in his dotage, he had
entire ascendency over her, compelling
her to work in factory and turn over
her wages to him. He assumed the
whole responsibility of the household,
and, under his penurious management,
nothing went to waste. Some six years
ago he purchased cheap pine coffin,
and stored it in his tenement, biding pa
tiently the day when he should need 1T
for his final wrap. Shortly before his
death he told his wife that his funeral
expenses must not exceed ten dollars,
and to that end he directed that his
body be carried to the grave on the
shoulders of men, instead of in hearse.
Learning, however, that the mode OF
conveyance would cost at least twelve
dollars, ne decided upon the employ
ment of an express wagon, which could
be had for the purpose for about five
| dollars. Finding that a BARRIERS tariff
for shaving corpse was something
more than his charge for the service to
| a sick man, he sent, on the night before
| his death, for one of the razor craft, who
did the work to the old gentleman's sat-
isfaction The widow was mindful of
her deceased lords injunctions, and the
| total expenses of the funeral were 1915.
The miser left property valued at
Ann Il L..

years BY his will it was divided be-
tween his wife and a son by former

An Incident Of the Port Jeryis Flood.

Among the many incidents that at
tended the deluge OF yesterday none
possess such thrilling interest as the two
mile race three citizens of this place had
with the advancing flood w. III. Near
fass and l.. o. Rose, the former Super
visor of the town and the latter SUI
perintendent of the Delaware 81 Hudson
Canal, went in a sleigh two miles up the
river to keep watch In order that they
might give an early warning to the in
habitants. 1t was about seven O'Clock
in the morning, and they were driven up
in double sleigh. The road they took
runs for nearly two miles on the top Of
the river-bank, about four feet from the
edge. The bank is of an average height
of fifteen feet the entire distance, with
the exception of about quarter of a
mile, where the depression occurs, re-
ducing the bank for that distance to a
height of eight or nine feet. This
low ground is between what is
known as the Pine Woods Camp
Ground, two miles west of Port
Jervis, and the tavern of A. III. Rose, be-
yond the Camp Ground. 1t was to this
latter place that the party drove. The
river was rising slowly. To make
further observations they drove to Roses
tavern. They had not been there long
before their attention was called to a
negro who had climbed to a high knoll
on the Pennsylvania side of the river
and was looking steadily up the stream.
Suddenly he threw up his hands and
shouted to some one in house at the foot
of the eminence to "Getout ofthere." The
alarm was evidently not needed, and the
negro started precipitately down the hill,
rolling most of the way. Entering the
house, he soon appeared with an armful
of household goods, followed by his
wife and several children, and all hur-
ried up the hill. There is cluster of
houses about Roses tavern, and the in
mates all laughed heartily at
the negro's hasty exit, and secuted
the idea that there was any
danger from the expected flood. The
gentlemen from Port Jervis, however,
were of the opinion that the alarm of
the colored man was caused by some
thing he could see up the river from his
high post, and were preparing to ascer-
tain what it was when, half mile up
the stream, sweeping majestically around
bend, the object of the negro's alarm
was seen in the form of moving wall

Facts About Flour.

AT the present time it is the practice to
a large extent among millers to grind
the finest, soundest wheat into fine
flour, and the poorest into what is called
Graham -four" This term "Graham
flour" ought no longer to be used. 1t ~
kind of general name given tc MKT
ures of bran and spoiled -four, to large
extent unfit for human food. What we
need is good, sweet, wheat flour, finely
ground, and securely put up for family
use.
This article we do not find in the mar
ket, and the Western miller who will
give his earnest attention to furnishing
such flour will realize fortune speedily.
The brown loaf made from whole wheat
is to our eye as handsome as the white.
1t can be made with all the excellence
of the white, so far as lightness is con-
cerned, and it is sweeter and more pal
atable. With this loaf we secure all the
important nutritive principles which the
Creator, for wise reasons. has stored in
wheat.-Boston j oat17adl of Chemistry.
