What to do In Winter.

The winter comes in with appropriate
ly cold weather. Now is the time to
put on your thickest armor OF flannel
underclothing, and to see to it that the
deserving poor within your knowledge
have such assistance as you can give to
fortify them against the inclement
weather. Whatever may be said against
our winters, says the New York Sun, 1t
should be remembered to their credit
that our death rate is lower in winter
than in summer, spite OF the bitterness
of the weather. In London the reverse
is the case. Last winter was an uncom-
monly severe season in England, and
the death rate in December, January
and February went up at startling
ratio. The last week in November, Like
the preceding one, was exceptionally
healthy in New York. For the week
ending November 27 the deaths were
but 492, against 521 last year; for the
week ending November 20, 475, against
548 last wear. Diarrhea and acute pull
monary diseases are fewer, and dph-
liberia, which carried off in the two
weeks last year 122 persons, this year
slew but ninety-two. The present death
rate of New York is lower than the
average of thirty Of the chief cities OF
Europe.
One thing to remember good fan.
nels are vastly better protection against
the cold than hot rum, and they cost lar
less. In fact, they keep you warm,
while the rum units you to bear the
cold. Put your warmth on the outside
rather than the inside.

Death i'm the Ballroom.

Miss Wilhelmina Townsend, young
lady, died suddenly while dancing ut q
party in Boston. A party of young
ladies and gentlemen, numbering about
forty couple, held sociable in Pythian
Hall, and were having a merry time.
None were enjoying themselves more
than Miss Townsend. She had during
the evening danced several times, and
while waltzing, after having passed
around the hall few times, she sudden
ly fell from the arms of her partner
upon settee corpse. At first it was
supposed that she had only tainted.
Medical aid was summoned, but too
late. Her father, who was present, con-
veyed the body to his home. She was q
little more than sixteen years old. The
physicians pronounced it case OF heart
disease. The event SO worked upon the
nerves of another one of the dancers,
named Sarah Pollard, that she swooned,
and was taken to the police station and
placed upon cot, where she lay in q
deathlike stupor for nearly two hours, at
the end of which time it was deemed
best to convey her to her home, she
then showing but slight symptoms of re,
turning to her former self.

The Egyptian Army.

Col s. q. Lockett writes from Egypt
to his friends in Montgomery, Ala: l
brought quite number of applications
for service in the khedive's army with
me when I came. To ali of these have
had to reply that the Egyptian govern
ment has no desire to employ foreigners
simply because they are such. A few
Americans were wanted to fill certain
special positions, where previous instruc-
ton and experience would make them
useful. These positions are connected
with the staff departments OF the army,
and they are now nearly all filled.
There are no foreign officers In the line
of the Egyptian army-and they are not
wanted. They could not command the
soldiers because they do not know the
language of the country. Besides, the
native officers are now well-instructed,
competent set of men. No man can be
a non.commissioned officer unless he
can read and write, and the commits
stoned officers all pass rigid e1amina-
tioa before appointment. Gen. Stone,
chief of staff, has brought this about
within the last six years. There are
now twenty American officers In the
Egyptian army. They are partly en-
gagged in the bureaus at headquarters
here in Cairo, and partlysin exploranons

Education Of the Flea.

Mr.. Bertolotto, the we'll known edu-
Gator of the flea, is now in New York
exhibiting his curious success In this
line. The insects he employs appear to
be the species of flea common to dogs.
The first lesson, he says, is to put the
insects in small circular glass box,
where, by jumping and knocking their
heads against the glass for day or two,
the idea is finally beaten into them that
it is useless to jump; and during the re-
mainder of their natural lives, to wit,
about eight months, they are content to
crawl. Having corrected their intellects
in regard to jumping, the instructor now
fastens delicate pair of wire nippers to
the middle part of the hea's body to
the nippers any desired form Of minia-
ture vehicle, such as wheelbarrow, a
car, O wagon, etc., is attached, and the
flea thus harnessed trots away with the
load, to the great amusement OF the
looker-on. The professor harnesses his
insect pupils into agreat variety of other
positions, and makes them perform
many curious duties, such as the opera.
ton of fortune telling wheel, orchestra
playing, racing, etc. They are allowed
to feed twice daily upon the instructor g
arm. It remains for Mr.. Darwin and
his compeers to determine what effect
this system of insect education is likely
to have upon the habits and development
of future broods.

A Tough Story.

Two old plowmen down East were
once telling tough stories Of their e1-
ploits in breaking up new ground.
"Up to Dixmont," said one, "twenty-
seven years ago this spring, I was plow-
ing in stump ground with team of nine
pair of cattle for Sol. Cunningham; we
were going along, making not very
smooth work among rocks and stumps.
Well, one day the point Oh the plow
struck against a sunk stump four feet
through, split it square across the heart,
and was following the plow through,
when the thought passed through my
mind that the pesky stump might snap
together and pinch my toes, so I just
gripped the plow handles firm, swung
my feet up out O the way, and the stump
sprung back and catched the slack OF
nv pantaloons. That brought every
thing up standing. Well, I frightened
my hold, aud Sim Swithin, he and Sol
was drivin', they spoke to the cattle, and
we snaked that stump right out by the
roots, and it had awful long ones" "lt
must have been strainin' on your sus-
penders," said the ether. "My wife
knit them," was the reply.
