And states come forth from cover.

Vacation skies were CHEEKY;
Yet days which pleasant tasks employ,
Are neither dull nor dreary,

OF feet that dance in walking
Give witness true that three times two
Is better fun than talking.

WEANED FROM HIS CUPS.

A young wife in Michigan had just
got settled in her new home. All
seemed fair and promising. for she
did not know that her husband was a
drunkard. Bnt one night he came
home at q very late hour. and very
much the worse for liquor. When he
staggered into the house the wife, who
was greatly shocked told him he was
sick, and to lie down at once; and in
a moment or two he was comfortably
settled on the sofa in drunken sleep
His face was reddish purple, his
breathing was heavy, and altogether
he was a pitiable looking object. The
doctor was sent for post haste, and
mustard applied to HE feet and hands.
When the doctor came, he felt his
pulse, and examined him, and finding
that he was only drunk, he said:
HE will be all right in the morning.
But the wife insisted that he was
vely sick, and that severe remedies
must be used.
'You must shave his head and ap-
ply blistera,' she urged, scr 1 will send
for some one who will
The husbands head was according.
ly shaved closely and blisters applied.
The patient lay all night in drunken
sleep, and, notwithstanding the blis.
ters were eating into the flesh, it was
not till near morning that he began to
beat about, disturbed by pain.
About daylight he walked up to a
most uncomfortable consciousness OF
blistering agonies.
'What does this mean p he said, put.
ting his hand to the bamdaged head.
sLie stiIl-you musnt stir,' said the
wife, you have been taken very sick.
'Pm not sick
tOh, yes, yon are; you have the
brain fever. We have worked with
you all night
Il should think you had,' groaned
the poor victim; what's tho matter
with my ieet?'
'They are blistered.'
tWell, Pm better now take off the
blisters, do he pleaded piteously.
ue was in most uncomfortable
state-his head covered with sores, and
his feet and hands were still worse.
Dear he said grooming, 'if should
ever be sick in this way again, don't
| be alarmed and send for the doctor,
| and above all, don't blister me again.
sOh indeed will-all that saved
you were the blisters. and if you ever
have another such spell, should be
more frightened than ever-for the
tendency am sure is to apopiexy.and
from the next attack you would be
likely to die, unless there were the

WILD MEN AND DOM MEsTiCATED
SNAKES.

In the island Of RHO the Resident
assured me there were wild men who
live in trees, and had no language but
cries and in Sumatra, the Resident OF
Palembaug ssid there were men who
lived in the forests, with whom not
only the Europeans, but even the Ma
lays, could have no intercourse. He
himself had never seen one. Yet,
strange to say, they have petty traf
fic with the outer world, yet not
through the medium of speech. They
live in the woods, and live by the
chase. They hunt tigers, not with the
gun, but with arrows, which they blow
out of a. tube with such force, and
which are SO keen of point, and touch
ed with such deadly poison that a
wound is almost immediately fatal.
These tiger skins or elephant tnsks
they bring for bsrter-not for sale
for they never sellany thins, for money
is about the most useless thing they
could haye. They cannot eat it, or
drink it, or wear it; but as they have
wants they exchange; yet they them
selves are never seen. They bring
what they have to the edge of the for
est and leave it there, aud the Malays
come and place what they have to dis.
pose of and retire. II the offer is sat.
isfactory when they return again they
find what they brought gone and take
what is left and depart. If not, they
add few trifles more to tempt the
eyes of these wild men of the woods,
and SO at last tho exchange is effected,
yet all the while the settlers keep
themselves invisible. s...
But if these [elephants] are uncom-
Portable neighbors, there are others
that are more so-the reptiles, which
abound here as in India. But fatnil
iarity breeds contempt, or indifference.
The people are not afraid Of them, and
hardly notice them, but speak of them

it roam about wherever it liked.-
this rather a big story, with
which our. friend might practice on
the credulity of a stranger, L turned
to the Resident of Palemh.ng, who
1t. He said this domestica-
ton of serpents was not ot,uncommon.
There was kind of boa that was very
useful as an exterminator of rats, and
for this purpose the good Dutch house
keepers allowed it to crawl about or
lie coiled up in the pantry. Some
times this interesting member of the
family was stretched out op the veran.

HOW TO PLACE THE BED.

Baron RicheHback, who has devoted
many years of deep study TO the art
of bed making, maintains that you
must not always lie on your bed as it
is make, under penalty Of abridging
your life by a great number of years.
If, says the baron, mere magnet ex-
ercises an influence on sensitive per-
sons. the earth's magnetism must cer-
tainly make itself felt on the nervous
life of a man. Hence he insists on the
salutary effects of the inhabitants Of
the northern hemisphere lying with
their heads to the north, and those of
the southern with their heads to the
south. For travellers with short mem l.
cries we may put the rule in general !:
In whatever hemisphere you may be,
always sleep with your feet to the
equator, and let your body lie true as
needle to the pole7' In giving this
rule the baron has simply told US how
to live a hundred years for the polar
direction of the body is, it appears, of

circulation of the blood, and we have
Baron Richenback's authority for stat
ing that many disturbances in the hn
| man organisms have been cured By
simply placing the bolster at differ
ent point of the compass from that it
had occupied before. Let such as have
hitherto been in the habit Of sleeping
with their heads where their feet ough
to be, take to heart the example of the
late DR.. Fischweiter, of Nadgeburg,
who died recently at the age of log
years, and always attributed his long
lite to his faithful observance of the
pole to pole position of sleeping. The
most unhealthful position,we are told
is when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure US tina,
to sleep in such a position is tanta
mount to committing slow suicide
and that diseases are often aggravated
u by deviauons from the polar posture
