Women are dreadful creatures. Here
are the wife and the daughters of Rev.
Mr.. LothrOp, Congregational minister
of Amherst, Mass, who acted so that he
was obliged to fog them all around
every few days with rawhide, and one
Of his daughters, girl of twenty, he
even had to knock down two or three
times. He was also compelled to de-
prive them of food, or as he kindly says,
often in place of whippings, he would
allow the children to substitute depri-
walton of the luxuries of the season. -
The depravity of the girls has gone to
such an extent that they have to run
away, and one has tried to commit sui
eide. Why will women act so?

Talleyrand's Opinion OF Witty and
Foolish Wives.

Talleyrand's wife was more remarka-
BILE for her beauty than her intelligence,
though it is probable that some Of the
stories told Of her excessive Rdirete may
have been invented for her benefit, and
others may have been given to her
which originated in other quarters.
There are skeptics, for example-and
NJ. Amedee Pichot is one of them-whO
doubt whether the Robinson Crusoe
story, which is the best one told of her,
ought to be given to Madame de Tai
leyrand. As a stray reader, here and
there, may not know this anecdOte, it
would be pity to omit it. 1t Is this:
Talleyrand was going to entertain at
dinner NJ. Demon, q SdrdRf, who had
been to Egypt with the army of the
First Consul. Talleyrand, on the day
of the dinner, informed his wife that she
would have at her right, at table, q
learned man and a traveller, and that she
would do we'll, before he arrived, to
glance at his volume, which she would
find on his library table. Madame de
Talleyrand, at dinner, by way of com
pliment to the author, spoke of the i'm
mense pleasure which she had found in
the narrative of his adventures. But
you must have found it very tiresome
being alone on a deserted island" she
said.
Madame, do not understand, " said
NJ. Demon.
"Oh, but you must, " she said; "and
you must have been very happy when
your man Friday arrived"
Madame de Talleyrand had, by mis-
take, been reading the Adventures of
Robinson Crusoe." NJ. de Talleyrand,
it is said, remarked, on one occasion
when she had committed some such
mistake: " A witty wife can compro-
mise her husband; but a foolish wife
can only compromise herself"

A Mothers Influence.

DEAR EDIToR:-In reply to the letter
of Mrs. Houston, in your last weeks
Times, 1 would like to say q few words,
providing she will accept an old bach
elor's" views. While 1 cannot say what
constitutes a good wife, 1 think I know
what good mother is. The old adage
that " A boy is what his mother makes
him." is virtually true; and, my dear
woman, rest assured that in after years,
perhaps when you are in your grave,
no matter how dark the clouds may be
hanging over you now, your boy will
often think and ponder in secret on the
precepts taught by you, and will not
forget them, for they surely will bear
fruit, even though the harvest may be
long delayed.
1 have travelled over most of the
world, and many, many times, after
spending the night with idle compan-
ions in drinking and carousing, have
thought and pondered over the advice
and teachings of that now sainted
mother, and it would most always end
by bringing me on my knees with q re-
solve to do better; but as I only tried in
my own strength. the same indulgences
would again be repeated, and no one
would think that snch wild, reckless
fellow ever had a solemn thought of the
future. So, do not get discouraged, a,
madam, for the very teachings that you
are now giving your boy will be thorn
in his heart every time be commits sin
after leaving his home and is thrown
among strangers. and will uleerate and
inhame until he will find the only cure
is to accept the same Savior for his
master as you now think he is so indif-
ferent to acknowledge.
Hoping you viii never cease those
good teachings, or feel disheartened,
will close by saying, God bless our
mothers" for they rule and control all
our after lives, and are doubly rever-
enced by-AN OLD Cincin-
nai Times.

AClsvsr Invention.

The faculty of remaining in the water
for q greater or less period of time,
which has been enjoyed by mankind
ever since the existence of the element
itself, seems likely to be extended to
fire, in the event of a fire-proof dress,
the invention of Swedish officer, Cap
tain Ahlstrom, and which has come tri-
umphant out of every trial, proving ul-
timately successful. At recent expert
ment in Silesia, four heaps, consisting
OF logs OF wood, were arranged in form
of a square, well covered with shavings,
and saturated with petroleum. They
were then set light to, and speedily be-
came q mass of flames. Into this fiery
furnace, the glowing heat Of which kept
the spectators at respectful distance,
stepped Captain Ahlstrom, clad in his
fire-proof dress. He moved freely
about in the restricted space-some four
feet square-formed by the heaps, lean
ing, from time to time, quite uncon-
cernedly against the blazing piles, and
finally, taking his seat upon one Of the
heaps, glowing with intense heat, he re-
clined there with as much nonchalance
as though it had been a sofa. He re-
mained thirty minutes in the flames
without suffering in the smallest degree
from the heat. Next day an experiment
was made in the Hohenzollern mine
with the view of seeing whether the
apparatus would avail in the event of
an explosion of fredamp, or any analo-
gous accident. The principal of the
gymnasium, who volunteered to test it
personally, descended into a space which
had been shut off from the rest of the
mine, and filed with gas, and remained
there for twenty minutes without expe-
riencing the slightest Inconvenience
from the poisonous atmosphere. Cap
tain Ahlstrom has sold his invention to
Prussia for 80, 600 marks.

A. Woman Carries a Lizard in her
Stomach for Twelve Years.

most remarkable case has been
brought to light In Council Bluffs by
the enterprise of the Globe man, in
which a woman had live lizard taken
from her stomach after it had remained
there for nearly twelve years. About
eight wears ago a lady, at that time
about 45 years of age, emigrated from
PENNSYLVANIA to Iowa, and settled in
Council Bluffs. She came for her
health. For several years she had been
troubled with what she supposed to be
indigestion, and nothing that she took
nor the treatment she received seemed
to do her any good or alleviate her suf-
fering. In fact, she grew worse, pain
and suffering increasing instead of di-
minishing-
Her physicians were unable to dag
nose the disease. Some pronounced it
indigestion. while others said it was a
tumor- or cancer. Some treated her
for-one thing and some for another, but
there was no change for the better-the
natieut remained about the same-some-
Times better and sometimes worse, as
the case might be. Immense sums of
money had been paid out to a score or
more of doctors, whose eagerness to
visit her as often as possible, and get
their pay with equal regularity, seemed
TO outrun their zeal to cure their pa
tent. 1t was 90 soft snap"-a hnger-
ing patient and a willing one to pay.
Bnt the spell finally broke. After
twelve long, weary years of suffering,
the patient began to grow desperate,
and the patience with which she had
borne the treatment ceased to be a vir-
tine. and she resolved on a change of
physicians. A change was at once made,
and what followed can be told In a few
words The lady described her case,
her long suffering, at times completely
prostrating her, and how she had been
treated and what for. The new man of
little pills seemed to take In the situa-
tion-at once, and without informing the
patient what he thought her troubles
were. proceeded at once to treat the
casa. The work was short, and deliv-
erance soon followed. 1t was a lizard
"A long. black lizard, which had been
feeding and gnaEing at that poor wO-
mans stomach for little more than
twelve years, eating what she ate, and
snbsisting upon what she required to
give her health and strength. The lady
SAYS she has no recollection of ever
having swallowed the dread and to be
dreaded reptile, but says her health be-
ganto fail about twelve years ago, and
she has suffered more or less ever since.
The lizard, as we learn, was delivered
aliEst and is now alive in q bottle at the
lady'ss house in the western part of the
city.-0maha Herald.

Cam OF SHW.-Those Of cur read-
ers who are now interesting themselVa1
in sheep will 6nd good reading in tho
following hints, summed up from an e.
say on sheep management, byMr. A. e
Kenney, the noted sheep-raiser'of Yer
mont: 1. Never starve q sheep II you
desire it to do well, especially in Sun
mer. 2. Do not feed much grain II yOl
have good hay, but at all events never
let your sheep grow poor. 8. Many
farmers lose by letting their sheep live
as long in Autumn without feeding -
possible; consequently, If they ara N
very good condition In October, and
lose flesh and are made to gain agnin.
there will be no doubt q tender place n
the wool. 4. Have your lambs camO
early in the season. 5. Shear early.
6. Keep your sheep from all cold storms
at all times Of the year, and be Is care
full with them IS Of your horse. Many
sheep perish by showers after shearinG,
even In July; 20, as I say, shear at .
time of year that they can be housed
for q week after shearing, and in storms
in Autumn; if sheep are exposed, 4
takes long time to dry the wool, and
the sheep are consequently uneOmfoEt-
able for q long time; cold and eonsump-
ton are the result. Z. Raise the stan
dard of your flock; weigh every heeos
at the shearing; number the sheep, and
note the weight of the fleece, and then
sell or kill your poorest sheep-as liks
produces like, your average viii soon
go from four to seven pounds. s. Taks
good care of the lambs, especially WhilS
young. In many cases they are not
liable to suck the ewes at the start; in
all such cases you must feed them.
