THE WRONG NIPPLE.

They were telling yarns about good shoot.
ing out in Virginia, Nevada, the other day.
Said one of the marksmen:- ..
''Some years ago1 was out in New York
State hunting grouse. There was an old
fellow along who was ar-sighted. We
were just at the edge Of the farm, when
suddenly one Of my favorite game cocks
jumped up on the fence, and he drew a
bead on it, mistakfng it for q grouse. I
didn't have second to lose, and I just
threw up my rifle and quietly knocked off
the left nipple of his shotgun a t fifty yards,
so that when the hammer fell the nipple g
and cap wouldn't be there-se 81" "You
saved the bird then7" Clipped j n an atten-
tive listener. NO" said Austin sadly, II
picked out the wrong nipple; the fellow
fired the right barrel and blew my fifty
dollar game-cock all to blazes." T be crowd
quietly dispersed. .t . -.

KEEP COOL.

Air sleeping-rooms thoroughly every
morning and, if possible, let in the sun to
shine on the beds and bedclothes. Often
at night, when the night is well-nigh un-
bearable, wet cloth hung in the window
over the blind will cool the room as If q
shower had fallen, and every one knows
how water poured on the pavement in front
of the door will refresh the hot, dry air.
This principle of the reduction of tempera-
ture by evaporation is capable of much
practical application. In India and other
tropical countries, where ice is almost un-
known, the natives cool their drinking
water by suspending earthen jars filed with
it in brisk current of air, which process is
said to cool it thoroughly and rapidly. So,
also, when ice is unattainable, butter may
be kept firm and sweet by setting the bowl
containing it in shallow vessel of water
and covering it with napkin, the ends of
which are well immersed in the water in
the bottom dish. A wet handkerchief or
sponge worn in the hat when exposed to
the sun, as in the harvest-feld, will pre-
vent sunstroke under the most intense heat
known to our climate, and will often re-
ieve headache arising from heat and exhaus-
ton combined.

But there 1 stopped short, and thought
/ should die. Martha wasn't there.
Neither she nor the feather bed was ON
the cart-it was just empty.
She'd fallen off somewhere = but
where? And what might have happen
ed to her ? There were plenty of wild
beasts in the woods then, the smaller
kind, of course, but not pleasant to
meet-and the swamp in parts was deep
enough to drown in.
/ couldn't stop to drive back slow and
careful. / jumped down, leaving old
Jed to take care of himself, and away
flew back into the woods, calling
Martha Marthal'' and feeling about
as L went, but nobody answered.
L tell you, boys, it was dreadful hour
for me- almost tainted, or got fit, or
something, before L got through the
woods to the marsh. But there, there
was stopped, and being so scared, and
made SO nervous, that 1 burst out
laughing.
There, in the midst of the soft mud,
was the feather bed, all smeared and
spattered, and on it sat Martha, crying.
The mud wasn't much over her knees
if she waded out, but she had her new
boots on and her Sunday go-to-meeting
merino, and she couldn't make up her
mind to do it. She was safe, but she
was cold, and oh, boys, wasn't she
cross
I'm going back to ma," sobbed she
across the mud. elf you'd cared for
me, you could not have lost me off!n
"Oh, Martha !" said L, but she would
not look at me.
1 went into the mud and brought her
out, and then 1 went for the wagon and
got out poor grandmother Smiths feath-
er bed, and then we went home. Itwasn't
a pleasant ending to the wedding, 1 can
tell you. But after Martha had cried an
hour or two she began to get over it, and
at last she told me how it all happened
as far as she knew.
She fell so sound asleep that she
dreamed she was at home, and the old
lady calling her to get up and get break
fast, and said she to herself in her sleep:
It's very cold this morning." and
turned over to feel for the blankets; that
started the bed and off it slid, and there
it lay in the mud, and there she lay on
top of it; and when she walked up she
could not remember where sne was, but
thought the roof had blown off the house
or she'd been carried off by the old boy,
until I'd driven too far away to hear
her."
After that she owned up it was some
her fault, and we made up, didn't we,
Martha and stayed so but that was
my wedding tour. 'Twasn't so fine as
Martha's niece's, was it?

A Dutchman's Mistake.

A JOLLY old German living not
n many miles off, while suffering
from q pulmonary attack, sent for
physician, friend of ours, says the
Investigator. In q short time the
doctor called on him, prescribed two
bottles of cod-liver oil, and receiving
his fee of eight dollars, was told by the
German who disliked the size of the
bill, that he need not come again. The
German, who by the by had not heard
the doctors prescription very well;
supposed he could get the oil and treat
himself. The doctor saw no more of
the patient for some time, but one day
riding past the residence of the German,
he was pleased to see him out in the
garden digging Justify. The case SEEM
ed such proof of the virtues of cod
liver oil that he stopped to make more
particular inquiries about it.
You seem to be getting very well,
said he addressing the Greman.
g Yaw, 1 ish well," responded the
formerly sick man.
"You took as much oil as / told
you ?" queried the doctor.
80, yaw, have used more as four
gallons of de doy-liver oil.'
1.-THE what ?' said the astonished
doctor.
"De dog-liver dat you say 1 shall
take. l have killed most every fat
little dog could catch, and de dog-liver
have cured me. Iti great medicine,
dat dog-liver oil ~
The doctor had nothing to say, but
rode quickly away, and noticed in his
memorandum-book that consumption
might be cured as well with dog-liver
oil as cod-liver oil.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.

ELIPPER and Clemmens had died
4 full of years and gout and rheuma-
tism, and left each a large fortune to his
wife. They had each left, as well, o
child-Flipper daughter named Kitty,
Clemmens son named Richard, other
wise Dick. The old men had forgotten
long before their deaths all about their
agreement on their wedding-day, but
not so the mothers. They had been in
correspondence for the last five years
about nothing else. The children had
now reached their majority, and the
mothers were anxious for the consum-
nation of their plan.
Mother" said Dick, at the break
fast table, there is no use in urging
\ that girl Kitty's suit, for L vow 1 will
never marry her."
I" How do you know, my son You
have not seen her for twelve years, and
you might be delighted with her." re-
turned Mrs. Clemmens, coaxingly.

She was red-headed abomination
when she was child, and I'm certain
she's the same now.n

Even If she was as handsome as
Hebe, 1 wouldn't marry her. I'd feel
disgusted the moment met her, and so
would she if she had any sense. We'd
be introduced, we'd look at each other,
and say to ourselves: And this is the
person I've got to marry and then we'd
hate each other,''
Well, it seems to me, Dick, that you
might at least wait until you do see
each other, before you make up your
mind. This is too sad," whined Mrs.
'Clemmens, wiping her tears with her
napkin, and not discovering her mis-
take until she rubbed some mustard into
her blue orbs, which occasioned the use
of her handkerchief in good earnest,
just when L thought had such good
news for you."
