A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.-Place her
among flowers, foster her as a tender
plant, aud she is thing of fancy,
waywardness and fOlly-annOyed by
d dewdrOp, fretted by tue touch of
Uutterfly's wing, ready to faint at the
sound of a beetle or the rattling of
window pane at night, and she is over
powered by the perfume of the rosebud.
But when the real calamity comes, rouse
ner affections, enkiudle the fires of her
heart, aud mark her theuI Place her in
the heat of the battle, give her child,
bird, or anything to prOtect-aud see
her in her relative position, lifting her
white arms as a shield, as her own blood
crimsOns herupturued forehead, praying
for her life 10 protect the helpless.
Transplant her in the dark places of
the earth, call forth her energies to
action, and her breath becomes a heal
ing, and her presence q blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the strides of
stalking pestilence, when man, the
strong aud brave, pale and atfrighted,
shriuks away. Misfortune daunts her
not, she wears a life of silent endurance,
and goes forward with less timidIty
than to her bridal. In short, woman is
u miracle, mystery, the center from
which radiates the charm of existence.

A CONDUCTOR WHO WAS LIVING
WITHIN HIS SALARY.-Hhere were sew
eral good stories told at the conductors
banquet few evenings since, but the
one that created the most laughter was
that which was related by Conductor
MSElrOy, from Pennsylvania. He saiu
that acOnductOr on an Eastern road was
approached by a seedy-lO looking individ-
ual, who wanted to get free ride, as he
hadn't any money.
"All right" said the conductor, ego
forward into the smoking-car, and IIl
Tx you all right"
Soon afterward the conductor ap-
peared in the smoking car to collect fare
from the passengers. He took up fare
from everybody except the dead-beaI
aud another man, who happened to be
the uperintendent, who noticed that
he had overlooked this man, and asked
him why he had done it.
"Why, that's conductor" was the
reply.
His appearance does not indicate it.
Look at those Clothes" said the super
Intendent.
"Well," said the conductor, "he can't
help that. He's conductor on a West,
cru road, and he is one of those fellows
who are trying to live within their sal
ary, and that's what he has come tor
This was satisfactory to the superin,
| tendent, and the man obtained his ride
without further inquiry. Mr.. McElrOS
stated that there was nothing persona
in the story.

A WARNING TO BACHELORS.-BOttl
bury will never dive into creek to save
another woman from drowning. He
saw girl named Sparks tumble in the
other day off boat, and he instantly
plunged in after her, caught her by heI
dress, and swan to shore with her. AZ
soon as they were on dry land, Miss
Sparks gave u hysterical scream, flung
uer arms around Bottlebury's neck anu
tainted. Just then the father came up,
with the rest of the family, and perceiv-
ing the situation, he dashed up to Bot
Ilebury, grasped his hand and said,
Take her, my boy; take her! 1t is
hard to give her up; it wrenches her ole
iathers heart; but she is yours. Bless
you, my children; bless youW TheI
Mrs. Sparks cried, and said she hOpeC
Harriet would be happy. The little
sparks manifested their emotion bS
climbing up his legs and pulling at his
coat tails. Then Harriet came to, anC
laying her head Oh his shoulder, whis
pered, kiss me, darlingw Bottlebury
amazed and Indignant, tore himsel
away aud flew. He was arrested tina
afternoon on charge of breach o
promise, and on the trial the jury gave
the broken-heaTten Miss Sparks TIVE
hundred dollars damages. BottlebuTI
has intimated to his confidential friend
that if any other woman intends to fal
overheard near him, she will find it t,
her advantage to learn to swim.

Marine AGrobats,

The seal is one of the most intelligent
of marine animals. He can be taught
any number of tricks, and living seal
IS therefore quite prize TO the prOprIe-
tors of museums and small shows. Im-
prisoned in tanks which are so con-
structed that the amphibious victim OF
human curiosity can remain in the
water or out of it, according to his
Whim, he is transported from town to
town, aud put through his PAGES after
the manner of the "learned pigU and
other animal prodigies.
In regard to their adaptation to the
society of man, seals differ according to
their species. The common seal and
some others have often been tanned, and
are capable of living long IN dOmestica-
ton if freely supplied with water. They
become very familiar with those who
nave the care of them, are very fond OF
careSSes and OF notice, recognize their
uames like dogs, and when in process OF
training for exhibition, dispOrt them
selves after the manner of apt pupils,
Seals are found in all the coluer parts
of the world, most abundautly, how
ever, in the Arctic and Antarctic re-
gions. They are occasionally seen in
temperate climates, as far south as the
Mediterranean, and as far north as the
La Plata. Some of them will even
ascend rivers in pursuit of salmon and
other fish. Indeed, it is said that theil
fOnduess for salmon is so inOrdinate
that they have been known to haunt the
neighbOrhOOd of nets laid for that fish
aud waiting quietly u'dtil their prey wa,
entrapped, take possession of it with
easy audacity.
The physical structure of the seal j.
most perfectly adapted to an aquatic
| life, and they live chiefly in the water
Hhe body is elongated, aud tapers from
| the chest to the tail; the head somewhat
! resembles that of dog, and in most o
the species the brain is large. The fee
are short, and little more than the paw
| projects beyond the skin of the body
they are thoroughly weUbed, and hav,
each five toes. The fore feet are placed
ike those of other quadrupeds, but tn,
! mind feet are directed backward, like
| prolOngatiOn of the body, and between
them is Il short tail. The toes, particu
larly those of the hind feet, are capable
of being very widely spread out il
swimming, so as to give great prOpul
sive power. The. movements of u sea
IN the water are very rapid and grace
tul, but on land they are very peculiar
The fore feet are scarcely used at all, AM
the body is contracted by All upwaTt
bending of the spine, and thus throw
| forward by succession OF jerks. Ii
this manner, in spite of its apparen
awk wardness, the seal makes very rapit
progress, aud can readily distance pur
suer.-HuTper'S Weekly.

"Then let me talk to him, dear. pn

The insane rage of the husband of
Edna over Aunt Judy's cautious and
necessary revelation could only be COM
pared to the fierce dignity of a barnyard
Bantam when he finds that the Dorking

Instead of humbly blaming. himself,
inasmuch as he was blameworthy, for
the clandestine manner of his marriage
with badly brought up child who had

grew very tenacious of his rights, and

New Tissues. ="

"Habitual dru nkardsn and their rela-
tion to the civil law is subject much
discussed at present in England. Some
distinguished scientific men and other
advocate such eIfactmeuts as will make
1t possible to place not only ''disOrderly
persons" but other victims of intempeI-
ince, under such supervision and cOntroI
that an opportunity may be afforded fol
reformation aud cure. DR.. Carpenter
writes to the London Times in favor OF
such legislation, "as a protection of the
patient against himself as well as for the
safety of society, and also as a means
whereby he may recover his position
and his power of Self-cOntrOl." DIR.
Carpenter thinks this treatment secures
the conditions in which "all the tissue,
IN the drunkard's body are changed, anu
1 new tissue Uormed out of a more
healthy kind OF foOd) is laid down in ill.,
place." and in this way "his nervous
system is restored to healthy action anu
control obtained again" 1t is certainly
| very desirable that all druukards should
nave new tissues" as well as new
hearts. But many are doubtful as t.
whether the government may safely un-
lertHke to make provision for thest
new tissues" without regard to tie
wishes of those who may prefer to re-
| tain their old ones. 1t is very certain
however, that the rights and safety o
antilles and neighborhoods are con
,tantly violated and endangered, because
here is no legal protection against til,
''habitual drunkard," who is not actu
rlly disurderIy and violent. Every
nabitual druukard is a dangerous char
lcter. Both persons and property are
very much at his mercy. And yet, il

SHE COULD, BUT SHE WoULDN'T.-A
Detroiter, who has been married but
three months, was the other day tossing
over the things in his wife's sewing
basket, when he came across little roll
of newspaper articles about Laura de
Fair and Irene House.
"HOw did you come by these ?" he
asked, as his wife entered the room.
"Those? Why, l took great pains to
cut them out and preserve them" was
the reply.
"But how can you take an interest in
reading of such women, one of whom
shot friend and the other husband ?''
"Oh, l merely cut them out" was hel
evasive reply.
There was painful silence for two oil
three minutes, when she crossed over tC
him and tenderly said
"George, you needn't be afraid of me
