WIFE KHD CHItD.-One man described
to me his night of peril-twe!ve hours in
the water clinging to the masts, after a
day of great labor, beat about by winds
and waves. One of their number was
washed away. -" We threw him rope
and would have lashed him to the mast,
but he was too weak to hold on" How
did you feel when you saw him going
down?n some one asked. 90, did not
mind much, for thought we must all 90,
soon; | did not believe we could hold out
long for every time the waves rolled up
we had to duck our heads under water so
as not to be swept Off" lie stopped talk
ing for minute us if it were more than
he cared to think about. and then he said !:
" But that man was the only single man
among us. He had no wife and no chill
dren, and that, believe, is the reason that
he could not hold out. think it was my
wife and my home which kept me alive
that night. If | had not remembered
them | should have let 90 many times. y

SOME SEAsoNABLE AUvICE.--IIall's
Journal of Health has these directions rs
to the wearing of flannel: Pat it on at
once Winter or summer nothing better
can be worn next the skin than n loose,
red, wooden flannel shirt; loose for it
has room to move on the skin, thus caus-
ing Utilization which draws the blood to
the surface and keeps it there, and when
that is the case no one can take cold;
red because white flannel fulls up, mats
together and becomes tight, stiff, heavy
and impervious; 'woolen,' the product of
sheep, not of u gentleman of color, not
of cotton wool. because that merely ab-
serbs the moisture from the surface while
woolen flannel conveys it from the skin
and deposits it in drops on the outside of
the shirt, from which the ordinary cotton
shirt absorbs it. and, by its near exposure
to the exterior air, it is soon dried without
injury to the body. Having these proper
ties, red wooden flannel is worn by sailors
even in the midsummer of the hottest
countries. Wear a thinner material in
sulhihel' ..u.

A singular terrestrial phenomenon has
recently been noticed at Ortali, Italy,
where the earth has fallen until it is now
twelve or fifteen feet below its original
level. In consequence of this strange
freak of nature the houses of the village
are topplng over, and the people have fled
to the fields and are now living in huts
with their families. A still stranger fact
is that about two hundred yards from the
town the earth has risen to a similar
height, and at times the ground has risen
50 rapidly as to make its movement visible.

Timo is money and always at par. The
man who thinks he is going TO get one
hundred and twenty minutes out Of an
hour is going to be left by the train; going
to lose his chance; going to say that he
didn't have fair chance; going right
along the road that leads to the poorhouse
-cursing his poor luck" " and bowling
for a new deal and an equal divide all
around. No, no, boys, initiation in time is
only equaled in its bad results by initiation
in money. Have nothing to do with either.

hundred cents dollar, and do not 60 10

There are said to be many indications of
a general railroad war in the west. The
present cutting of rates is said TO have its
origin in breach of faith on the part Of
the Pan Handle railroad. 1t is not likely
that the trunk lines running out of New
York. Philadelphia and Baltimore will be
embraced, nor possible that the hostilities
can long continue, rs passenger rates have
been reduced below the cost of transporta-
tion.

REDEEMING A FIvE-DoLLAR NOTE.-An
Indiana man had s. national bauk-note
chewed up by his dog. He sent two frag-
ments of the note to the treasurer of the
United States and wanted good one in
return. Treasurer Giltillan refused to re-
turn good note, there being nothing to
show that the other fragments might not
be sent for another new bill. The Indiana
man then sent the two fragments back
again, pinned to an affidavit he had made
before notary public, as follows: Per-
sonally appeared before me this day.,
who, being by me duly sworn, makes oath
that the remainder Of the bank bill here
unto attached was totally destroyed by his
dog; that he detected him in the act and
rescued these remnants, taking them from
the dogs mouth, and that the remainder
of this bill was chewed up and swallowed
by the aforesaid dog, and thereby totally
destroyed. Subscribed and sworn before
me-" etc. This being considered sufficient
evidence of the dogs voracity and the In
diana mans veracity, the treasurer sent
on new note.

A SPLENDID WIEE.-We once knew .
man who was always praisng his wife.
On the corner, down the street, in the post
office, at the race track, in the skating
rink, at the theatre, in the sal-that is, al
choir meeting, he was always telling what
"A happy man he was, just because he had
such = splendid wife, and he talked every
man he met into perfect frenzy of envy
about her. Well, one winter morning
when it was not yet too light to make one
appear over ostentatious, we sneaked into
that neighbor's yard to steal fence board
for kindling, and had to wait before we
could safely obtain it. until that mans wife
came out and sawed a couple ofarmfuls of
wood, shoveed out three snow paths, fed
and groomed the horse and cleaned out
the COW shed, and then when she went
into the house and we heard her call to her
husband that the sitting room was warm
enough for him to dress in it, if he wanted
to get up now. and we were so amazed
that we forgot what we were waiting for,
and went back and kindled the fire with q
corn cob and a pint of kerosene. e.-Howk-
