A PRUDENT PERSONA gen
tleman in San Francisco went a
few days ago to have an acheing
tooth stopped. The dentist ad-
vised him that he had better
have the tooth taken out, and
assured him that he would feel
no pain if he took laughing gas.
"But what is the effect of the
gas?" asked the gentleman.
" 1t simply makes you totally
insensible," remarked the den
tist: "you don't know anything
that takes place.
The gentleman submitted, but
just previous to the gas being
administered, he put his hand in
his pocket and drew out his
money.
"Oh, don't mind about that
now," said the dentist, thinking
he was going to pay his fee.
"Not at ALL" remarked the
patient, Il was simply going to
see how much | had before the
gas took effect"

a Terrible Earthquake in vene-
zuela.

A report reaches us by cable from Ha-
vana that another great terrestrial con-
vulsion has occurred in Venezuela.
whereby six hundred persons have been
killed. Although the details Of this
terrible calamity have not arrived the
history CT former earthquake yisitations
in Venezuela leads as to apprehend that
in o region SO liable to these convul-
sions the horrors of the past have been
experienced once again. As far back as
l7l2 the records show how destructive
the shocks have been in the regions
north of the Valley OF the Oriroco.
Caracas, LaguayrA md Porto Cabello
have been laid in ruins more than once
and widespread destruction carried to
the villages and small towns If the in
terror. We fud by reference to the
records that the town OF Cumana was
destroyed by an earthquake in 1858, and
at Caracas, in 1866, 1867 and 1868, VIC
lent shocks were experienced. which
extended throughout the country and
caused great loss OF life. G eat dss
truction was also caused In 1875 by the
widespread influence Of an earthquake
in the regions Of Venezuela and Central
America. The latest destructive shocks
took place at Cuba and were felt severe
ly, it appears, at Caracas. The dis
patches also state that an intense heat
prevailed over Venezusla. Although
relations probably exist between baro-
metric pressnres as effected by tempera>
ture and subtarrAnesn disturbance, they
have not been satisfactorily determined
in any degree. Attention has been
called to the frequency Of explosions in
Coal mines during periods of low atmos>
pheric pressure, following those of un-
usually high barometer. and it is sought
to connect the two occ currences by
showing that the escape of fire damp"
is greater when the atmospheric pres-
sure is very much reduced. We prefer
to believe in the theory which We re-

Devices, the county seat. There
he was tried, getting a very light
sentence in view of his "affiic-
ton sore," and all was going on
conformably with his wishes,
when, as ill-luck would have it.,
the Governor of Gloucester jail
must needs come poking his nose
into the prison at Devices. "Aha

s Safe Investment.

Every dollar of outlay in OBJ
tanning an education should be
viewed as an investment rather
than an expenditure, and that is
the best investment which brings
the quickest, surest and most
ample returns. If then, young
man or woman, by few months
study and moderate expenditure,
can at once command position
and salary, the attainment of
which, would otherwise require
years Of drudgery; those who
seek that preparatory training
are surely pursuing by far the
wiser course. The truth Of this
has been practically exemplified
by thousands of graduates of the
business colleges of our land,
and who have been Immediately
invited to honorable situations.
And the Importance of a regular
business education is greatly en-
HANGED by the consideration that
merchants, steamboats,, railroad
and telegraph companies require
young men or women, to whom
they give employment in the
counting room or offices to
possess such qualifications as
can be obtained at the Puget

put by an anxious inquirer to
Cardinal Manning, in regard 10
a soldiers duty, should war with
Russia break out. Ifth soldier
believed the war to he unjust,
would he be justified in refusing
to fight against the Russians, If
death were the penalty of refu-
sal? The question was ingcni-
Gus, but the Cardinal answered
that "while no one woald be
justified in going forth to slay
others merely to give expires
sion to the vindictive feelings OF
diplomat:sts, such is not likely
to be, on the part Of our Govern
ment, the object Of any war with
Russia into which England may
be drawn The questioner may
have been very innocent orvery

chews on this answtr the less
succulence he will get out of it.
He should give the Cardinal a
