Perils From Water.

The Cincinnati Commercial prints a
column and third editorial on the 'perils
of ice-water," in the course of which it Is
remarked that no woman would think of
cooling a cooking stove when it is red hot
by throwing ice-water upon it. Yet whas
people know would ruin q stove, they
pour by the pint into their stomschs
when 1t is in state Of intense activity
and at the highest point OF chemical COM
bustion. The cook who pours water upon
her fire " bile she is getting dinner, knows
that the potatoes in the pot will stop boil
ing, and the meat in the oven will not be
fit for food. The same results from the
deluging the stomach with iee-water. The
process of digestion will be arrested, and

How to Get Rich.

The following story is told of German
farmer living in the town of Calmut. He
came to this country from Germany,
twenty five years ago, and pre-empted a
piece of land in the town where he nov
lives. He was then very poor, probably
not having $25 all told, but he possessed
a wonderful energy and AL unparalleled
tact for getting along without any outside
aid. When he wanted anything he went
to work to make it, paying out nothing
for wagons, slcighs, harness or clothing
In cutting the timber for his log house,
he found a bee tree, and followed up his
discovery By others of a like sort, securing
both bees and honey. These bees he kept
and for years he had honey to eat and
SILL. He had no money to pay for getting
his land broken up, so he fought five or
six hogs, and, tying rope around the
hind legs of each, listened the other end
of the rope to stump. and all the grain
he sowcd the first year was where these
sharks had rooted up tie ground. Fol
wagon wheels he sawed off the ends of d
good sizrd log, and the rest of the prints
tive vehicle he had no trouble in making.
He made rude sleigh, bringing the run
ners high up in front. and jointing them
together. lie made harUcss of ropes or
hides. which answered every purpose,
and although the man is day rich, near.
ly all the clothing for his family is home
made He has now on hand farm for
one son, ana desires to buy for another
son, saying ne will pay $4,000 for a
piece of land that will suit him. He puts
no money in the bank, owns no bonds,
but keeps tn cash carefully hidden away.

The Origin of the Word "Can

The origin Of the word ''Canada" is
curious enough. The Spaniards visited
this country previous to the French and
made particular search for gold aud silver,
and finding none, they often sang among
themselves, "Aca NADIA" there is no
thing here. The Indians, who watched
closely, learned this sentence ana i's
meaning. The French arrived, and the
Indians (who wanted none of their COM
panv. and supposed they were also Span
iards on the same errand) were anxious
to inform them In the Spanish sentences
"Aca nada.'' The French, who knew =
little of Spanish a. the Indians, supposed
this incessantly recurring sound was the
name OF the country. ,snd gave y 'Is

The Moons Speed Increasins.

1t may not be known to the world IN
general that the moons speed is increas-
ing. Astronomers call the phenomenon
secular acceleration, and the fact has been
considered an established one ever since
astronomy took rank as science. Al.
cient observers, like Ptol, my, fixed The
acceleration at ten seconds in . century.
and the estimate was considered aeeurale
by succeeding observers. Modern astroar
omers have found reason for doubling tAe
accepted estimate, and Prot. Newcomb
has made elaborate researches into the
matter. He communicated the result Of
his labors at the recent meeting Of the
Academy of Science, aud proves by bic

Strawberries are Rine

STRAWBERRIES are Ripe.
In the shady woodlands strayinq.
O'er the pleasant meadow lands.
Little children, in their playing,
Fill with fruit their dimricd hands.
And in all the thick green bushes
Cunning blackbirds tell the thrushes-
"Strawberrics ere ripe!"
Gardens flushed with scented GLORY.
Blushing rose, and lily sweet,
Hold the same delicious story
OF the fragrant crimson treat:
Eager hands the vines uncover:
Old and young with joy discover
Strawberries are ripe!
But the fruit is fairest, swe etest,
In the thousand-stree'e town:
Then will rause the footsteps heetcst,
Heads be raised that were bowed down
Sad hearts smile amid their sishing
AS they hear the pleasant crying.

now TO DEVELOP MANHOOD

Woboast of being Freemen (?) on this
continent. There are no slaves among
bus. We are all Sovereigns No man
lis bound to work, or labor for another
without adequate compensation. If
Richard Roe cannot afford TO labor for
John Smith, at ninety cents a day, let
him quit like man, and 80 inform his
employer and look elsewhere for en-
ployment at better wages and show to
the world that he is not slave
On the other hand if John Doe
agrees with John Smith to work for
him at fifty cents day, Mr. Roe must
not interfere with, or molest him. That
is the law backed by common sense
and must be upheld with muskets and
cannon, if necessary. If Mr.. Roc vio-
lates this law he becomes as much q
law-breaker and an enemy to good
society as o horse thief or bank
robber and cannot expect to be shield
ed by those who prefer civil govern
ment to anarchy and mob rule.
1t is most humiliating while there
are millions of acres of land on the
globe TO be had at ONE DOLLAR
AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER
ACRE, to hear the clamor for "bread"
This is the hugest humbug that was
ever attempted to be palmed off on
Freemen The able bodied, hale man
who sets up this howl is either foo
or knavc, and will eventually becom,
a drone upon society instead ofa bless
ing, 1t is offensive enough to listen tc
the winnings of disconteuted womer
and children, but when.it comes from
fellow who exclaims; 81 am just al
good a man as you are" it sounds
odious and discounts the manhood ol
the braggart heavily in the estimation
Of all reasonable men.

How TO TREAT MoBs.-The editor

says;

NossESsE.-The baby.cry which we

is nothing less than cheap nonsense,
tor it is notorious to everybody capa-
Bile Of taking business view of the

cause of this is as visible also, as the

and have well-nigh undermined the
foundations Of our government, and
without change Of rulers, capital and

And yet, men hesitate about applying
a remedy for this commercial evil, bc-

exploded. Trees in the woods are al

ground is almost entirely covered with
leaves and branches. Here and there
you can find trees as thick as a mans

piece Of powder kegs can be seen every
where. Many are not half as large as
q mans hand. The track belonging
to the Pacific coal slope is completely
torn up, while the shnte, screen, ears,
etc, are badly damaged, Several frame
houses in the noighborhood are com
plotely demoISbed, while all over tho
city glass was broken in tho houses,
and locks torn off doors mite away.
Large plate glass in business houses
was broken. Even the doors of a few
business houses were opened, breaking
both lock and bolts. 1t is said the ex.
plosion was heard very plainly and
distinctly at New Castle, twenty. two
miles from Sharon. A man supposed
to have entered tho house for the pur.
pose OF stealing powder, was torn TO
pieces. The loss is $4,000.
