An Amusing War Story.

Mr.. Stanley, the English consul in
Odessa, has a fine house fronting the
harbor, on which there is a broad bal
cony. He found himself constantly
watched by two men. They dogged his
steps whenever he went abroad, posted
themselves so as to command a view of
his door whenever he was at home, never
relinquishing their watch upon him.
After about three weeks of this it became
monotonous. He got tired of it, and,
knowing them to be in the employ of the
government, went to the governor general
to complain of it. That official Heard
him, and replied. "Well, if you wish
me to tell you the trnth, | will explain
it, and | hope you will not be offended
1t is fact that you have been watched,
and there have been very grave reasons
Tor 1t, as we have been informed that
every night when you come home, which
is sometimes very late, especially when
you have been to your club, Mr.. Stanley,
you take dark lantern and go out on
your balcony, and'there, by moving and
flashing your light, make signals in the
direction of the sea, whence we fear an
attack from the Turkish feet" Mr..
Stanley laughed immoderately, to the
very great surprise of the governor gen.
eral, and when he could speak said:
" lit is true that / 90 out on my
balcony at night with lantern, and ]
will explain to you why. Every English
consul abroad has instructions from the
home office to take meteorological obser-
vations three times each day for forward
ing to the. home Office. The last daily
observation make is when 60 home at
night. My thermometer hangs on the
balcony, and as, | am near-sighted l have
to hold the lantern up close to examine
its indications"

Immediately had Marberry Hoyt ar
rested, and sent the certificate to Lillian.
Henry kissed his wife and children,
forgave his enemies, and settled down to
a new life once more; but Lillian missed
the old love tone, the electric thrill that
once had made the blood leap through
her veins.
The wedding-night at the Uffords ar
rived; the guests were assembled; the
down trains were all in, but no bride
groom had arrived. None of the hotels
had Henry Wilson's name registered
and the evening passed without we'd
ding. Anxious groups gathered around,
carriages left the door, and the great
house was still.
In bridal chamber lay a pure white
face, but no sign of life was there Three
days the heart beat feebly, but youth and
vigor triumphed, and she came back to
life: back to know that the man she
loved was the husband of another, and
the father of three children. When
Henry knew that she lived, and that the
worst was over, he gave himself up to
the full enjoyment of his lovely family.
/ Maberry was released after it was
clearly proven thathe had no knowledge
of the certificate, and had only taken
/ the picture as Joke. Gertie never mar
ried, and DR.. Utford never forgave Hen
~. Lillian lived to see brighter days,
but always regretted her secret marriage.

4 Terrible Liar.


He was the orfulest liar lever seen,"
said Cooley OLeary, as We returned
from his friends funeral. Why he told
me once that he lived ON small island
in the Pacific ocean on which there was
volcano. And he said that there was
an active demand out in that region for
watermelons so he went into the bust
ness of raising them And he said one
year his whole crop failed except one
melon, and that kept on growing at such
a fearful rate that it crowded him off
the lowland and up the side of the volca-
no, which generated steam and caused
an explosion which blew up the whole
concern to atoms, and shot him four
hundred miles out to sea, where he was
picked up by whaler. He used to tell
that one great mistake of his life was
that he didn't drive plug in the crater
tight, and then slice open the water
melon and come sailing home on the
half-shell.
He would lie He said that once he
was cast away on an iceberg, with no
baggage but pair of skates and a fish
ing-pole. But he skated around until he
came across dead whale, frozen into the
ice So he took off his shirt-it was
night for six months that year up there
tore it into strips for a wick, run the
strips through bamboo fishing rod,
stuck the rod into the fat of the whale,
and lit the other end. He said it burned
splendidly, and the iceberg reflected the
| light so strongly that it was bright as
| day for forty miles around, and one yes
sci ran into the iceberg, thinking it was
lighthouse. He said he sold the ice
berg to the captain for $4,000, and the
captain split it up and took it home and
made 200 per cent. profit disposing of it
to ice companies.
Lie? well, sir, he beat any man ! ever
came across. He told me that once, out
in Nevada, a mountain lion attacked
him, with his mouth wide open. Hehad
presence of mind enough to grab it by
the tongue and pull. The lion reared
with pain, but he did his level best pull
ing, and pretty soon the tongue began to
give and the tail to shorten, and directly
out they came, the tail and the tongue
in one continuous string. He said he had
'em at home, and he showed 'em to me;
but my belief is they We're only three or
four cow-hides and a bulls tail dove
tailed together.
He was astonishing as truth-crusher.
He said he served on a gunboat during
the war which was very small and light,
while the mortar'on deck was very large
and heavy, and he said the first time they
tried to fire tifteen-inch shell, heshell
remained stationary, while the recoil
was so great that it fired the gunboat
for miles up the stream and landed it in
a tree. He was liar, but he's dead; /
reckon he'll catch it."
There was no doubt about it; Mr..
O'Leary was very successful as con-
structor of energetic works of fiction.

MYTHS Are But Symbols of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but
beautiful mythologies of the aneients the
embodied expressions of the hungry human
soul, blindly cropping after the Infinite, so
the physician sees in that popular myth of
the sixteenth century the fountain OF per
petual health and youth-an expression of
the longings of suffering humanity for a
remedy that should forever prevent the in
eursion of disease. The wilds. of Europe
were raHsacked for this wonderful fountain,
and Ponce de Leon sought for it in the
cypress swamps and tangled everglades of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for
it everywhere and anywhere but where
it really is-in the human body itself. The
blood is the real fountain of perpetual
health and youth. When this source is
corrupted, the painful and sorrow-produc-
ing effects are visible in many shapes. The
multifarious forms in which it manifests it.
self would form subjects upon which might
write volumes. But as all the varied forms
of disease which depend upon bad blood are
cured or best treated by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and excrete from the
system the noxious elements, it is not of
practical Importance that should describe
each. Fer instance, medical authors de-
scribe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
but as all require for their cure very similar
treatment, it is of no practical utility to
know just what name to apply TO certain
form of skin disease, so you know how best
to cure it. Then again, | might so on and
and describe various kinds of scrof-
ulous sores, white swellings, en-
larged glands, and ulcers Of vary
ing appearance; might describe how
virulent poison might show itself in various
forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony
tumors, etc. /; but as all these Various APP
peariug manifestations of bad blood are
cured by a uniform means, deem such a
course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse
the blood, which is the great fountain of
life, and good digestion, fair skin, buoyant
spirits, vital strength, and soundness of con-
stitution, will all return to us. For this
purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis.

HOt.RptiS,

1t Is time to make these cOnveniences
for starting the earliest vegetables. The
first preparatory step is to collect a heap
of long stable manure. This should be
fOrked over every two or three days to
check too violent fermentation. At the
end of about ten days make the bed. If
the situation is dry and well-drained, an
excavation may be made eighteen inches
deep. Otherwise make it on the surface
of the ground. The pile should be made
eighteen inches longer and wider than
the frame which is to go upon it. Lay
up the manure evenly, shaking all hard
Jumps and making all firm as il proceeds,
with the back of the fork. When it is a
foot and half high, place the frame,
without the sash. Spread ON two inches
of light loan. New fermentation will
soon set in, and the bed should be tested
every day by thrusting the bulb of a
thermometer into it. As soon as it has
subsidized to about 800, spread on four or
five inches of fine light loan, SOW the
seed and put on the sashes. During
stormy weather or cold nights the glass
must be covered with mating or slough
hay to exclude frost and conserve heat,
and the plants must have plenty of air
during mild or sunny weather Water
slightly warmed should also be given as
needed. This your judgment and expo
rlence must decide. NOvices, however,
as a rule, give too much water and too
little ventilation.-Bufalo Commercial.

Bees In Spring.

As soon as spring opens, our bees
should all be examined by lifting the
frames of each hive, and if the stocks
are weak, the bees are shut to one side of
the hive by means of division board, so
as to keep up the necessary heat for
brood-rearing on as many combs as they
can cover. As soon as the queen has
filled these combs with eggs, we spread
them apart, inserting an empty comb
between those occupied with brood, and
in few days time the queen will fill
this one also; and so we keep on until
every available cell is occupied with
brood. Thus, it will be seen that instead
of the queen laying her eggs ON the out
side of the cluster, she lays them in the
centre of the brood-nest, where they
should be. After the hive is full of
brood and bees, it does not make so much
difference, as the weather is warm and
bees are plenty, so that the queen can
deposit her eggs anywhere in the hive
AS soon as the strongest, stocks are full,
take frame of brood just gnawing out
and place it in the weaker ones, giving
the st ong one an empty comb for the
queen to fill again. and so keep OH until
all are full.-American Bee Journal.

A Narrow Escape.

The Elmira Gazette chronicles the fol-
lowing hair-breadth escape: One of the
miraculous escapes from instant death
that we ever heard recorded, is related as
having occurred last Saturday morning.
A man by the name of w. d. Soy had
been to consult physician in regard to
his case, as he had been partly deaf for a
number of years. Having finished his
business, he started for home on foot,
taking the railroad, and had proceeded
but a short distance when he saw a
train of cars approaching him, and as
the cars came near, he stepped upon the
eastward bound track, not looking for or
hearing that which was approaching from
that direction, but had hardly stepped
on the track and turned to see the engine
apparently upon him. He grasped hold
of the pilot or head of the engine, heard
an unearthly shrek, and awoke to find
that he had ais hands in his wife's hair,
and had partly torn handful out by the
roots.

Onion Culture

Onions can be best grown upon the
same land repeatedly, year after year,
and change of fertilizers is beneficial.
After barnyard manure has been used,
poultry manure would be effective, and
occasionally dressing of phosphate of
lime would be advisable. The best
standard fertilizer for onions is night
soil, taken out of cesspools, mixed with
dry earth, and left so stand few weeks
until the heap is incorporated. Four or
FIVE wagon loads of the night-soil, with
twice its bulk of earth, would be sufficient
for an acre. Ten barrels of pure poultry
manure, mixed with an equal quantity
of fine earth, would make fair dressing
for one acre of onions. AS onions are
sown or planted closely in drills near
together, the fertilizer is best applied
broadcast and narrowed or raked into
the surface soil. By growing this crop
repeatedly on the same plot and using
poultry manure, night-soil and super
phosphate of lime alternately, the soil
may be entirely free from weeds in few
wears.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth
of Dry Holes.

The Titusville pa Herald says: "a
wealthy operator located eight dry wells
last year. He is an 'oil-smeller.' and
costly experience will probably never
rid his mind of the delusion that her
medically sealed bottle held by a string
near the ground will indicate the exist
ence of petroleum 1000 or 800 feet
below the surface. 1t is species of
mumbo-jumbo business that found favor
in the early days of the oil excitement.
and few respectable and intelligent
natives were fascinated by the cause and
have never recovered from the affection.
The gentleman spoken of has more than
100000 worth of dry holes to remind
him of his foolishness."

An lriAh Song.

An Irish Song.
Oh! the springs delight
Is the cowslip bright,
As she laughs to the warblin' linnet;
And q whistlin' thrush
On white May bush,
And his mate in the nest widin it.
Summer she shows
Her rose, her rose,
And OH all the happy night long
The nightingale woos her,
At dawn the lark sues her
Wild the crystal surprise of his song.
King autumn's crown
Is the barley brown,
Red over wild rosy fruit;
And the yaliow trees,
As they sigh in the breeze
Are the strings of his solemn lutte.
Ould winters breath
Is could as death,
HiTrdf lonesome he's left the earth:
Yet the trush he siBgs,
And the rose she springs
From tie fame of his fairy hearth.
