Health Hints for Farmers.

Danger comes from sudden straining Of
one muscle or set OF muscles, so as to in
lure their tissue and cause lameness. Few
escape this. Then add to this the injury
OF overwork. Overlooking is simply
working after the strength has been re-
duced SO low that it is painful or wearing
to move. It is working after the nourish-
ment in the blood has been mostly used
up. It Is like keeping a mill going when
the steam Is low, or when the water In the
dam Is nearly out. In such cases not only
the muscles suffer, but all the organs OF
the body. overwork at last, no matter
what kind It is, produces bankruptcy OF
the body, which Is worse than any kind
OF bankruptcy, bad as they all are. In the
care Of the muscles avoid colds and rheu-
matism. They make people stiff and lame.
They take away thu. natural elasticity
which gives % much pleasure, and substi-
tuts o worn out, tired, exhausted feeling,
which borders on pain, and is often nor
difficult to bear. How very careful the
owner OF fine horse is that he shall not
take cold. He knows II he does 1t will
founder, and after this It will never be .
good stopper. Our whole country Is full
Of ioupdered men and women, who are
stiff, lame, rheumatic, old in feeling, inc
lastic, Most OF them might have pro.
served their elasticity to old age II they
had taken proper care OF themselves.
As n rule, iarmsrs do not battle rs much
as they should. The daily bath Is to them
quite as important as any class, 1t re.
auires but . Tow moments 10 take 1t, and
when followed by friction II fortiaes tho
skin against colds.-HelH Of Health.

Storm Incidents.

Among the incidents of the recent
storm, we note the following in Phila-
delphia
At A. M. the back portion of the
house, No. 313 South Fifth street, oc-
cupied by DIR. w. II. Myers, was de-
carried away and deposited on an
other building over 100 feet distant, the
rafters and other debris falling in the
street and destroying horse and wagon
that was passing by. A large piece of
granite, six feet by four, being portion
of the chimney, was also blown away, a
passerby narrowly escaping injury as il
descended. The occupants luckily es-
capped.
John Alting, q ship carpenter, left
his home at 1911 Edgemont street, to go
to work, against the entreaties of his
wife. While on the way the storm be-
came so furious that he sought the shell
ter of the Reading Railroad depot, on
Allegheny avenue, for safety. While
in there the roof was blown off and he
was instantly killed. His dog, which
had accompanied him, refused to leave
the body.
An unknown man sought safety from
the storm in Cedar Hill Cemetery, at
Frankford, and was instantly killed by
a falling tree. The body was removed
to the Frankford station house.

The Track Of the Tempest.


WASHINGTON, October "a. - The
storm came from the tropics. Az II
o'clock on the morning of the goth the
Signal Service ordered up signals at
Key West, for storm south of Florida.
On the morning of the 21st the storm
was to the southeast of Key West, and
on the morning OF the 22d to the enst of
Southern Georgia. AT midnight of the
22d it was, with greatly increased We
loclty, central near Cape Hatteras, ON
the North Carolina coast.
The maximum velocity of the wind
reported was 60 miles an hour. From
midnight to noon of yesterday the
storm, rapidly increasing In energy,
was central near Baltimore. The pres
sure at the centre, this morning, was be-
low 900 inches. 1t was attended with
an unusually heavy rainfall. Here the
fall was 3.54 inches; at Baltimore, 2,14;
Norfolk, $50; Lynchburg, 2.0l, and at
Smlthvlll, N. c., 4.32.

A Fathers Heroism.

CINCINNATI, October o. Early this
morning the dwelling of Michael Reuter-,
at the foot of Prices Hill, was burned.
Reuter- upon awakening ran up stairs TO
rescue his little daughter. In doing SO
he was obliged to pass through the
flames. He found the child in her night
dress burning, and grasping her in his
arms forced his way back and reached
the ground in safety. The child was
badly burned about the face and arms.
Reuter- received what will probably
prove to be fatal injuries, both arms
being burned almost to the bone, and
the flesh scorched off his back.

important for Voters and Election officers

Judges Ludlow, and Fell, of Philadel-
phia, made the following decision which
effects the voters in Pennsylvania:
First. When is a man of the age
which entities him to vote? Answer
A person is in point of law of the age
of twenty-one years the day before the
twenty-first anniversary of his birthday.
Hence person the twenty first anniver-
sary of whose birthday is the 9th of
November, 1873, may vote at the general
election on the 5th of November, 1873.
This question has been settled from
time immemorial; the reason assigned
by the authorities, is " that in law there
is no fraction of day, and the count
on the last second of the other, then the
twenty-one years would be complete and
in law it is the same thing whether a
thing is done upon one moment of the
day or on another"
Second. If man, in contemplation
of naturalization, goes thirty days before
election and pays his taxes on a legal
assessment for 1877, can he vote on that
tax receipt if otherwise qualifiedy
Answer-Yes.

Married by Telegraph.

A strange wedding took place on
Thursday afternoon u week, in Wash
ington, ID. c., at least the bride was in
that city, the groom being 5000 miles
away, at Georgetown, Colorado. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo.
Carpenter, and the high contracting
parties were Mr.. Wheeler Ellis and Miss
Lima Sailors. The telegraph was en-
ployed as a means of communication
Mrs. Ellis then started for her new home
and husband in the West. The wedding
day had been appointed, but Ellis could
not, owing to business engagements, be
on hand. The young lady's mother
would not allow her daughter to go
away from home unmarried, so at the
suggestion of the minister the marriage
was consummated by telegraph. The
parties are known in Washington, and
the affair was much commented upon
for its novelty.

Lease of a Railroad.

CHICAGO, October o. The Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad has been leased
by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road for thirty years, the lease to take
effect December l.. The first named
road is to receive forty-three per cent.
yearly, and will receive thirty-seven per
cent. from the seventh to the fourteenth
year. The San Juan silver mines are
to be opened through the grand canon
of Arkansas, and the ultimate design is
to connect with the Kansas Pacific.
This transaction will probably result in
warm competition with the Union
Pacific for freight traffic.

McKillop's Nose.

Edward b. Seeley,of Cincinnati, came
to New York and pulled j. McKillop's
nose. Mr.. McKillop is the head of the
mercantile agency of McKillop, Sprague
& Co. When Mr.. Seeley came to New
York it was to find out who had been
giving what he claimed to be unfound-
ed information to McKillop's Mercantile
Agency. McKillop refused to reveal
the name of their informant. There
upon Mr. Seeley said If he could get
satisfaction no other way he must ap-
peal to the leD tdJionis. So he applied
his thumb and finger to the nose afore-
said and wrenched the same. Mr.. Nc
Killop sued Mr.. Seeley for damages. The
case was tried before Judge Lawrence
in the Supreme Court, Part II, and
jury returned verdict for the plaintiff
damages, 81.

severe, but the damage done was heavy,
the greatest loss being among the ship
ping in the harbor.
At Chester seventy dwellings and
stores were unroofed, nineteen being
blown down altogether. Three churches
were partially destroyed and eleven
manufacturing places were so much
damaged that work will have to be sus-
pended for while, which will throw
number of persons out of employment.
The damage to shipping is con siderable.
The tide rose to great height, washing
out many manufactures Several
schooners and sloops were washed ashore
and 5 canal boats, loaded with coal went
to the bottom during the storm.

Terrific Storm.

On Tuesday night and early on
Wednesday morning a storm that may
be almost called cyclone swept over
this State and extending in greater
or less degree to the States East and
West of us. Around Philadelphia the
storm was particularly severe. The tide
in the Delaware rose to a height that
was never before known, filling the cell
lars on Delaware avenue and doing
much damage to property. AT the foot
of Market street the water in the street
was over two feet in depth. In the
vicinity of Philadelphia the reports
so far in, the work of the wind and rain

THE situation in Europe is again be-
ginning to look decidedly warlike, the
operations of Russia in Turkey and Cen
tral Asia having forced England to en-
deavor to arrange an alliance with Aus
tria and France in opposition to the
Kaiserbund. This would serve the
purpose of those three Powers exactly,
and the alliance has been so obvious and
natural that Prince Bismarck IS labors for
and at the Berlin Congress were all di-
rected to such an arrangement as would
prevent that alliance. When Beacons-
field rejected Prince Bismarck's sugges-
tion of an adjourned meeting of the Con-
gress, it was with this scheme held in
reserve to check Russia. The Austrian
operations in Bosnia have forced the
the question, and preeipitated the open
alliance between Austria and England.
The French policy has not yet appeared.

ca Parents should not fail to notice
new advertisement in another column,
in relation to Children's Shoes. What
the Metal Tip has done for children 3
heavy, shoes, it is to be hoped this new
Tip will accomplish for the finer quail
tiles.
1t is rather discouraging to buy fine
costly shoes for children with the feeling
that they will almost certainly be
through at the toe with the first few
days wear.
Parents will do well to look into this
matter.
