Useful il not New.

The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting personal
comfort, If not new to some of Our
readers, are none the less important to
every one.
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles of food
which by their decomposition generate
decay. To neutralize the acid resulting
from this chemical change is the object
of denufrice. A stiff brush should be
used after every meal, and a thread of
silk floss or India rubber passed through
between the teeth to remove particles
OF food. Rnsing the mouth in lime wa
ter neutrallzeS the acid.
Living and sleeping in room in
which the sun never enters is 1t slow
refreshing and life giving bath that can
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. TO this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot coverings fit
ting and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is half an
hour before break fast.
A full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after a meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do
not take cold bath when tired
Keep box of powdered starch on
the washstand; and after washing, rub a
pinch over the hands. 1t will prevent
chapping.
Ii feeling cold before going to bed, eX-
ercise; do not roast over Il fire.

ivory left the swelling strain unfinished
and turned back handspring over
among the audience. The next leap of
the "varmint" was at the contrabass,
and both player ana instrument went
down instanter with broken heads.
The cat fingered lovingly moment
among the strings, as If to test their
quality, and then sprang out among the
audience. T,ien began an olio in dead
earnest, but not the one advertised, al
though the fight was over. 1t consisted
of ground ard lofty tumbling, leapfrog

ing single object-to amuse the audi

doors and under the free light of heaven

tory as whole, each player did his
best. Time-shortest on record-l:G9.

audience. The cat was found few

The Duke of Cumberland.

The Duke of Cumberland, who is Il
great grandson of George III. and CON
,equently second cousin of the Princess
Louise, is to marry the Princess Thyra,
who is sister of the Princess Of Wales
and the official declaration of the be-
trothal, which was made on Nov. 20, at
the castle of Fredensborg, was an inn
pressive ceremony. About a quarter to
6 the royal family entered the large
reception-room, where draw!ng-room
was held, and some presentations took
place; and about quarter past the
procession was formed and the com pany
sat down 70 a magnificent banquet.
The king rose, and in a few words,
spoken in French, announced the be-
trothal of his beloved daughter, the
Princess Thyra, and his royal high
ness, the Duke of Cumberland,
asking all present to drink their
health, and to wish them every happi-
ness and prosperity. The announce
ment was followed by a large flourish
of trum pets, after which the band play
ed God Save the Queen" Immedi-
ately afterward, the Duke of Cumber-
land expressed his gratitude to the
King and the Queen for having grant
ed TO him the hand of tie Princess.
When the King cat down, the band
played tho national Danish anthem,
King Christian Stood Beside the Mast.
Now, the Duke of Cumberland Is a son
of blind King George v, who lost his
| throne when the Prussians invaded
Hanover. He is Crown Prince, or
rather King in name. but only wan
dering heir in reality, rs he is extreme
~ unlikely ever to regain either his
| throne or his estates. The PruSsan
government was not represented at the

Temperance News.

Official statements place the number
of hcenscd and unlicensed drinking-sa-
looms in the city of New York ut 10, $50,
and the money spent in these places
amounts to over 100000, 600 annually.
This makes saloon for every % per-
sons, men, women and children. 1t Is
an average of 500 n year for every per
son in the community. The total
number of arrests by the police depart
ment for the year 1877 was IS 229, of
which 5l,S51 were for intoXlcat!on
and disorderly conduct. The commit
mentS To the city prison were 81 696,
of which 3S,li7 were of Incorporate
habits.
Three-f ourths of the time Of the po-
lice justices and courts is taken up in
the disposal of cases originating from
the use of intoxicating drinks. Seventy
per cent of the males and eighty per
cent. of the females in the work-house
on Blackwell's Island were brought
there directly through the influence
of liquor, and the cost of the poor
houses to the state in 1877 was S1,10O,-
900. Eighty per cent, of the cases IN
the lunatic asylum are caused by
drink.
Thirty towns in Illinois voted no Ii
cenSe in 1876. $50 in 1877 and $50 IN
1873, which fact notes the progress OF
the temperance reform.

largely in the papers. But he failed
badly and hopelessly. His real estate

TRUSTING BoY.-During the session
of the late Episcopal Convention in Boston,
the Bishop of Lou sana, in crossing the
Common, met n boy whose face he fancie6
and, calling him to him, asked if he had
anything to do just then, to which he said
no. ''Are you good boy ?' The little
fellow scratched his head and replied Il
am not a very good boy. | cuss a little
sometimes" This candid answer inspired
the Bishop with confidence, aud he .hen
said, after giving his name and address
II want you to go to a certain place aud
get bundle for me, and bring it TO my
hotel. There will be a charge of eight
dollars; here is the money To pay it, and a
half dollar which you will keep for doing
the enand. ''Ou his return to the hotel the
Bishops friends laughed at HIM for his
creduhty, telling him that he would never
see the boy or the money again, but In half
an hour the young chap returned, bringing
the bundle and receip ed bill for eight
dollars and half the Bishop having made
a slight mistake as 10 the amount that was
due. ''How did you manage to pay the
extra half dollar?'' he inquired. Il took
the money you gave me for the job.

posed in that boy, because of his truthful
ness, will do him good as long AS he lives.

AN OLD KENTUCKY DUEL.-A duel was
fought at Soap Island, i'll Bridgeport, in
1896. The participants we're Shelton and
kingsbury. Shelton thought it vas real !;
kingsbury knew it to be a Joke. The
guns were loaded with soft soap. Shelton
won the fist fire, banged away and drop
ped behind log. kings5ury walked mp,
pus the muzzle of the gun against the head
of Shelton and pulled the trigger. Such a
looking man was never seen. Soft soap
covered his head entirely. In the agony of
despair Shelton reached up, got handful
of the soap and exclaimed: ''Oh, my poor
brains my poor brains ~ Realizing the
hoax, he sprang up and chased KinesbuIy
off the island with rocks. swearing all the
while like a sailor. Shelton alterward en-
listed i'll Sam. Houston's war, and made A
good soldier. Coming back from Texas,
he passed through Harlinsviile with his
gun on lis shoulder. One of his old friends
cried out "Halt ~ He did sn. Present
aims T. He presented. Make ready -
He did so. Take aim u He aimed -
Fire - He wheeled. fired right at the
fellow, the bullet just missed his head,
went through the door and dropped on the
floor inside. Shelton took to his heels.
In the civil war he made brave soldier,
was unninching in his attention to duty,
aud died like soldier at Mission Ridge.

INTERESTING DIsCOyERY.-The remains
OF a chapel built in the days of the crusades
have been discovered near the Mount of
Olives, Jerusalem. The road from the
mount to Bethany passes along a narrow
strip OF land which ceases at hill near the
village. On the boIder of this road the
ruins were found several feet below the
surface. The altar of the chapel was as
serted to be on the exact spot where the
Saviour mounted his ass at the feast of
palms to ride into Jerusalem. Several
paintings were found upon the stones, in
Guiding one of the disciples of Christ
bringing the ass to him another Of the
restoration of Lazarus to life, and third
of a group of men engaged in quarrel.
Lieut.. Kitchener, commanding the British
expedition to Palestine, has brought the
plan of the chapel to England, and Capt

IHE ROMANCE OF 0IyoRCE.-The Atch-
inson (kan.) Champion has the following
relative to \ couple who were recently di-
vorced in that city
The parties live In Atchinson countv
and have always been reputed especially
espectahle-people of wealth aud standing
ana the divorce was granted yes er,lay with
out alimony or other relief. The wife was
the plaintiff and she is now about 80 years
old; the defendant is about IS. The parties
lived in Indiana, and when they were mar
rled the young wife was less than Is, while
the husbaI q was 80. One child was the
fruit of this marriage, and for a time they
lived happily together. Then the wife ac-
cused the husband of infideliiy and institu-
tel proceedings for q divorce, ana, as ne IN
terposed no defense, n divorce was granted
with 81 500 alimony. Both married again
and moved to separate States. The new wife
of the old man absconded with a lightning
rod peddler, and the young wife's husband
eloped with strange woman. A year or
two after this the man moved to Texas and
engaged in the Texas cattle trade, and COM
ing to Kansas with drove of cattle by a
strange chance met bis former wife in Atch-
lnson. They became reconciled to each
other again and undertook to live together
once more, Squire Jackson uniting them as
husband ard wife. 1t seems that the hus-
band had got divorce from the wife who
eioped with the lightning rod peddler, but
the wife had not been so particular. They
were now living in Atchinsou county, duly
and legally married, when great religions
revival occurred in their vicinity and both
became imhued with a spirit of religion
Under this Influence the wife confessed her
shortcomings TO the minister, and he recom-
menued that they live separate and apart
Again "A separation occurred, including a di-
vision of all the property. III short time
the religious excitement wore away and
once more they Joined their fortunes as hus-
band and wife, living together until few
months ago. Then the wife came into the
District Court and sued for a divorce on the
grounds of neglect and ill-treatment, with
the results as above stated" d"
