Plumging Over Niagara.
New York Tribune.

About noon last Monday man
passed through the upper gate of
Prospect Park, Niagara Falls, and
walked along the bank to 4 point
Just below the "tail race" that emp
ties into the river. One of the guides
who followed him to tell him where
he could get the hes: views, was AS
tolished to see him wading out in
the rapids. "Comc back, you tool;
you will 90 over the falls" The
stranger paid no heed to the warn
ing, but throwing himself forward
on his face, struck out for the brink
OF the cataract. Just below where
he entered there was small Gag
cade, over which he was carried.
When he emerged his hat was off,
and u moment later he obtained a
too,hold in the rapids. aud stood
waist-deep in the foaming waters.
The guide was by this time at Pros
pect point, whittier he had fastened
III the hope of being able to reach
the man. The stranger, standing III
the rapids, instantly struck out AGAIN,
swimming Justify out further from
the shore, and successfully placing
himself beyond the aid OF the man
Oh the shore. He clasped his hands
over his head and went down to his
death. This suicide is rs extra )rdi-
nary as that of the Canadian chemist
near Detroit, who two days before
had ended his lite in order to test the
efficacy Of u resurrection powder.

How Often May We Eat?
From the Science Of Health.

1t has been demonstrated that at
certain intervals, when food is re-
ceived into the stomach, gastric
juice is secreted to digest it, and that
no more gastric juice is secrcted than
is required for the digestion Of the
proper quantity Of food.
1t person eat twice or thrice a
day, at regular periods, the gastric
Juice is secreted by the stomach to
digest the food it has received. 1t,
while the food is being digested,
more TODD is introduced into the
st, mach, digestion, in relation to the
food already in the stomach, is ar
rested. For instance: A person
takes, in the morning, a piece of
bread and several potatoes; now, it
will take about three hours for the
stomach to dispose Of the TO ID
Suppose the person, about an hour
after eating this food, takes piece
OF bread and an apple or two; what
would happen? The digestion that
was going on in the stomach would
Immediately stop, and not be resum-
ed until the food that was received
last was brought into the condition
Of the first. Suppose he took food
every hour, what would be the con-
sequence? The stomach would be-
come prematurely worn out and
could do nothing pertectly-worklng
all the time without rest. But if the
person possessed good constitution
and large amount of vital power,
he would not feel ut first this drain
upon the system, but sooner or later,
he would have to pay the penalty of
outraged nature. For / stance: A
person may have a large capital in
bank; he can live upon the interest
very well, but he draws upon his
capital. lie does not feel this drain
at first, because he has SO large y
bank account; but if he keeps on he
will become, sooner or later, il bank
rupt. Some persons have an enor-
nous amount of vitality-yood con
stitu,ions. 1t is said of these per-
sons that nothing hurts them; they
can eat and drink anything with i'm
punity. This is fatal mistake; see
how many years Of lite they are cut
ting off by such foolishness. If such
persons live to the age of 10 or 80,
they might have reached the age OF
100 or more years by better dietetic
habits.

Happy Husbands.

An exchange says: sit is Il mans
own fault if he is unhappy with his
wife, nine cases out of ten. 1t is 4
very exceptional woman who will
not be all she can to an attentive
hush nj, and still u more exception.
able one who will not be very disa-
greeable if she finds herself willtully
neglected. 1t would be very easy to
hate man, who, having bound a
woman to him, made no effort to
make her happy; hard not to love
one who was constant and tender;
and when u woman loves she always
strives to please.
The great men of this world have
often been wretched in their domes-
tic relations, while mean and com
mon bave been exceedingly happy.
The reason is very plain. Absorbed
in themselves, those who desire the
worlds applause were careless of
the little world ut home; while those
who had none Of this egotism struve
to keep the hearts that were their
own, and were happy in their tender
ness.
No woman will love man the
better for being renowned or promi-
lent. Though he be first among
men, she will only be proudar, not
tonder; and if she loses him through
his renown, as is often the case, she
will not even be proud. But give
her love, appreciation, kindness, and
there is no sacrifice she would not
make for his content and comfort
The man who loves her well is her
hero and her king. No less a hero
to her though he is not one to any
other; no less king though his on
ly kingdom is her heart and home"

Disinterested Kindness.

A relative of "Bardwell Slote"
Florence tells the story that, years
ago when acting at the Winter Gar
den Theatre, in New York, Florence
one morning took young girl, who
played minor parts, into Broadway
restaurant for dinner. Both were
hungry, and they ordered a plentiful
supply OF food. When their appe
tites were satisfied, Florence called
for his bill, and to his utter dismay,
discovered that in changing his cloth
ing in the morning, he neglected to
take the money from his discarded
pantaloons. He tod the girl the fix
he was in, and asked her for a loan.
Mortified and chagril ed, she answer.
that all she had WAS just sufficient to
pay her fare home. The quickly
excited restaurant-keeper raved and
stormed at Florence, called him a
swindler, and threatened to send for
the police. At this point a short,
stout cid gentleman, stepped up to
the proprietor and firmly said: "How
dare you speak to gentleman in
the way you have done? His mis-
take is natural one, and such as
mig occur to most any man. | am
ashamed of you! I'll dine no more
in your house, or permit my friends
to do SO in the future. Here, take
this" And he took a $50 note from
tat wallet, and handed it to the
discomfitted landlord. "Deduct the
amount Of the young mans bill, and
return me the change" The propri-
etor's apologies ere unheeded. He
handed the old gentleman s47.50,
and again essayed apologies. When
in the street, Florence handed his
benefactor his professional card. and
asked the old gentleman's name and
address, adding that he should GER
,ainly reimburse him. The old gen.
tleman, beginning to smile, said:-
''That's all right, young man; I've
been trying to pass that counterfeit
bank note all day."

Thad Stevens.

Pierce NJ. 3. Young, a recent Rep
resentative in Congress, from Gcor-
gia, was a Confederate General, and
a graduate Of West Point. He
came to Washington soon after the
War, seeking to have his disabilities
removed. He is a fine, manly fellow
and seems to have accepted the re-
suits of the war in good faith. He
went to rhad Stevens, and Thad be-
gan to play with him, as he some,
times did with those whom he in
tended to make his victims. He
said:
"You are a graduate of West
Point, l believer"

United States, | believe, which you
swore faithfully forever to defend?'

your direct charge and under your

"Yes sir"
Young thought he was gone, bnt
seeing that the old veteran had come
into the possessi III of the last fact,
which Young did not dream he
knew, it was impossible to deny the
truth of his question. Thad roared
out. ''Well, like your Id impu-
dence. / will see that your disabili-
ties are removed. Good morn ng.
And the next day the bill passed the
House.

INDEPENDENCE, IOWA, FRIDAY, APRIL 6.
REPLEvIN.

He was youth all simpleness.
And she a maiden full Of wiles;
How could the rustic ever guess
That mischief lurked beneath such smiles!
She did not wish his heart to break
For pastime ere she went to town
But just to keep herself awake,
And win, perhaps, some slight renown.
She iirted with him at the we'll,
She flirted with him III the wagon,
And at her meals-thOugh truth to tell,
His mother watched her like dragon,
He cut her pencils when she drew,
He cut her name on several beeches-
In fact he did the best he knew,
And racked his brain for pretty speeches.
The thing went on some little while,
Until at last the maid grew weary;
She could not always raise a smile,
The country. too, was growing dreary;
She thought she'd try new effect,
And so, without the slightest warning,
She said to her firtee-elect,
lin going home to morrow morning
She scanned his face for signs OF grief,
But what she saw surprised her, slightly;
A look Of most intense relief
Appeared there and he answered brightly
I'm thankful mol mean TO say,
hope you'll find some other fellows
To flirt with, il you come our way
Again, for Sues most awful jealous!
''I've tried to tell you, but somehow
l always felt go dreadful sheepish,
And next thing there'd u been q row,
Fer really. it was getting deepishl ----
You see. we're promised, Sue and me-
She's bright, though she's not had mucl
schooling
She said last night she'd set me free,
Unless Id say I'd quit this fooling!
''Of course said would. but then
WONDERED what you'd think about me,
thought I'd catch 1t sure, again,
You seemed so lonesome like without me.
never thought that You might hear
From some one else OF my engagement,
But Mas been telling you, it's clear!'
He wondered what her look Of rage meant!

Two Stories.


A Massachusetts gentleman, just
returned from over the Canadian
border, tells us these stories: He
was III the h, tel general-accommod,-
,ion room, when TWO veterans of the
(hoteD bar, laying schemes for a
drink, began to tell stories to each
other for his benefit:
"rhese are awful hard times" said

I was hard put to I to get along.-
Nothin' to do. | had a yo>e OF

But lived right on the road the
Western emigrants went over every
day. SO l dug hole in that road
at the foot o the hill, near my house,
turned Il llvin' spring o water into
t, and made good mud hole
Well, when the emigrants came
along, every day there would be one
or more teams git stuck in my mud
hole, an they would see my steers
standin' out doin' nothin', an they
would send up an get me to come
an help 'em out; aud | alwuz charg-

Fanny Ferns Picture of the Modern
Old Maid.

For the benefit of those who may
not have seen it when it first appear
ed in the Revolution, we reproduce
etching from Fanny FERNS picture
of the modern old maid. "No, sir.
She don't shuttle round in 'skimpt'
raiment, awkward shoes, cotton
gloves, with horn side-combs fasten
ing six hairs to her temples. She
don't read "Law's Serious CALL" or
keep a cat, or snuff box, or go to
bed at dark, nor scowl ut little child
ren, nor gather catnip. Not bit Of
it. She wears nicely fitting dresses
and becoming bits OF color in her
hair, and she goes to concerts and
parties and suppe,s and lectures, and
don't go alone either, and she lives
in a nice house earned by herself and
gives jolly little teas in it. She don't
work for no wages and bear tolera-
ton day and night. No, sir. If she
has no money she teaches, or she
lectures, or s.e writes books or
poems, or she is book-keeper, or
she sets type, or she does anything
but depend upon somebody's hus-
band; and she feels well and indie
pendent in consequence, and holds
up her head with the best, and asks
no tavors, and Woman's Rights has
done it. She has sense AS well as
freshness, and conversation and re
partee as well as dinples and curves.
She carries a dainty parasol, and Il
natty little umbrella, and has live
poets, sages and philosophers i'll her
train; and knows how to use her
eyes, and don't care if she never sees
a cat, and couldn't tell snuff box
from a patent reaper, and has bank
book aud dividends, and her name is
Alice or PhGbe,and Woman's Rights
