came out of store, of which one was
the proprietor, intending to go some
blocks distant ON a business errand in
which they were mutually interested. In

curiously seized with the idea that it be-
logged to the other. Thus believing,
No. said, in casual manner, that ne

Ventilation Of Closets.

Too little attention is paid in the con-
struction of closets to their proper ven
tilation. 1t is not always convenient to
have closet door stand open, and, if it
were, full ventilation cannot be secured
in this way. There should be o window
or an opening of some sort from the
closet to the outer air or to a hall, so
that current of air might remove any
unpleasant odors arising from anything
that has been worn, from shoes, or from
anything else kept in the closet. A gar
ment that has hung up for length Of
time in close closet is as unfit to wear,
unless it has been thoroughly aired, as
though the unwholesome vapors it has
absorbed were visible to the eye. The
charm of clothing new and clean lies far
more in the absence of these vapors than
many people are aware.

Sentimentality.

Sentimentality is an element of disin-
tegration in every work of art into which
it is permitted to enter. III the books of
the Bible had not been free from it, they
would not have lasted till this day. No
piece of sentimental writing has come
down to us from the far past and no
work of literary or other art of our own
day, no matter how wide its present
vogue, can exist longif it has this poison
in its blood. 1t IS truth that lives. not
falsehood. We may look with keen re-
greet upon the fading away of regulations
dear to us we may deprecate the les
sening acceptance, both with ourselves
and others, of some contemporaneous
book which had lesson for us-that
once held us by charm not altogether
sentimental but the law is inexorable.
The instances which will occur to the
reader of works in which there is the
sentimental quality, but which still have
held their own quite well, and promise
longer life than is consistent with the
foregoing remarks-these apparent ex
ceptions may possibly prove the rule,
for it may be in spite of their sentimen.

Skillful Cookery.

Americans who dine with the Chinese
are surprised at the perfection to which
they have carried their cooking. Dur
ing recent Chinese banquet in San
Francisco, an orange was laid at the
plate of each guest. The orange itself
seemed like any other orange, but on
being cut open was found to contain
within the rind five kinds of delicate
jellies. One was at first puzzled to ex-
plain how the iellies got in, and giving
up that train of reflection, was in a worse
quandary to know how the pulpy part
of the orange got out. Colored eggs
were also served, in the inside of which
were found nuts, jellies, meats and con-
fectionery. When one of the Americans

A Fatal Dream.

Last Saturday evening Niles Taylor, of
Smethport, drove out of town with q
friend. While returning home his car
from falling he was obliged to Jump from
the vehicle. After considerable trouble
he succeeded in getting the carriage in
condition to continue his journey home.
Arriving there, he put up his horses, and
going into the house, went to bed. His
wife and son, who had been to the store,
returning shortly afterward, the former
went TO Mr.. Taylor's room and found
him sleeping. Without disturbing him
she went out.
When she returned some ten minutes
later the bed was empty-a door at one
side of the room stood ajar-and, COM
pretending the situation at C glance,
Mrs. Taylor rushed to the door. One
look confirmed her worst fears, for there,
PROSTATE on the ground, eighteen feet
below, lay her husband, helpless and
grooming with pain. Assistance was at
once summoned, and he was carried into
the house. Drs. Mccoy and Freeman
pronounced his case hopeless. DIR.
Moore, of Rochester, agreed that the in
iuries were fatal, but that he might live
for two weeks; still, he was liable to die
any day. Mr.. Taylor's mind is clear,
and he is settling his business matters as
fast AZ possible. How he came to fall
from the door no one knows. All that
he remembers is that he went to bed and
dropped asleep, and when he awoke he
was on the ground and helpless. 1t is
supposed that he was dreaming of the
accident which had happened only a
short time before, and, while dreaming,
sprang from his bed and leaped through
the oor.--Northern Tier (N ~ Re

A Dor Story.

4 few days ago Butcher Robiuson's
large Newfoundland dog cooled himself
in the canal, and after swimming far
away from his point of departure, he
tried TO get out where the wall was high
up from the water. He made many in
effectual attempts to do it and failed.
Gov. Smyth's shepherd dog saw his diff
ficulty, and ran about to get assistance,
but none coming, when the big water
dog put up his paws to make one more
effort to get out, the knowing Scotch
colly grabbed him by the neck as one
grabs brother by the hand to help him
out or over a difficult place, and he was
landed high, if not dry, much to the
JOY of both. Manchester On " But-

To Cure n FelOn.

The London Lancet suggests the fol-
lowing simple treatment for felons: GAS
soon as the disease is felt, put directly
over the spot fly blister, about the size
of the thumb nail, and let it remain for
six hours, at the expiration of which
time, directly under the surface of the
blister may be seen the felon, which can
instantly be taken out with the point of
needle or a lancet" A piece of adj
hesive plaster will keep the blister in
place.

SroCK TRAINS ON THE g. Il o. X.
R.-A large stock train consisting of
s car loads horses and mules, 5 car
loads cattle and one of hogs left here
on last Monday afternoon. The scene
in loading these trains is really an
amusing and at times an exciting
one. When the car gets pretty well
filed up, and the mules have to get
in by main strength pushing the
others out of the way, it takes good
deal of management to get the last
ones in. In loading the cars on
Monday, there was little mule stood
opposite the door, and the last one to
60 in was a stubborn big brown fel-
low. The little one inside would not
get out of the way, and every time
she was struck she would kick, and
every time the outside one was struck
to make him go in, he would kick, so
there was q kicking time for awhile,
but they got them in. The horses
are much more tractable.

are no honest men in these orders, for If
there was but one, he might keep out these
corrupt and polluted men.
But, Mr.. Editor, a man that will call a
murderer q saint is not the one to Judge
of the honesty of others, and PRO Bono
Publico" has found out by this time, that
he cannot get an opportunity Of running
"the character of honest young men" by
black-balling them.
He inserts the form of an oath in his
article and says:
"Let some champion of secret societies answer
the following question: Suppose brother OF
the fraternity engages in the illegal trafc OF Hq-
uors; or in hqndling counterfeit money OF IN
burning his ne 2hbors dwelling. anu Is caught Ia
the act by brother OF the Lodge, who at nee

perpetual secrecy, subsequently the WITNESS Is
forced before gfand Jury and questioned IN re-
gard to the crimlnslity, Should you Violate tl,s
above obligation, or you'll you peiger youise"
before the law?
Now, Mr.. Editor, have taken great
many obligations in differeat secret socie-
ties, but have never vet heard OF one that
required me To screen the rascai!tles o!
any man, even though he be member oil
the order: but "Pro Bono" has taken some
oaths that ha ve not, and it may be that
when he was admitted into the Order OF
Know Nothings he took such an oath; or,
if net in that it was probably when ne
joined the slave traders and dealers in HUI
man flesh. OF one thing am certain, no
honest and law-abidng citizen would take
such an oath, and of such / believe, the
Orders of Masonry and Odd Fellowship to
be composed. Let him show that such an
oath is exacted in these orders before he
asks any one to answer his question.
He again asserts that you show but one
object in your article, namely, "to kill the
Commercial" and adds:
= "This is Characteristic OF the M'jor. II he had
his way We would have but one newSpapeT, one
store, one hotel, Que political party, snd one
ehu.ch, and that would be the IR6E SIDES"
/, | have no doubt he formed this opinion
of you from what he knew Of an individ-
,ual that once edited paper and called
himself a lifelong Republican, after serv-
ing term in the House Of Delegates as
a Democrat, and became very angry be-
cause those Reclaimed as his friends, chose
to support another paper, that was started
in the same place, in preference to his, and
who also got angry with the colored peo-
pie because they voted for Democrat,
rather than for him. The truth is, he is
doing more ito kill the CommerciGF than
any other man in this community can do.
