At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water, yet a comparatively
numerous population contrive to
live there, thanks to the copious
springs which burst forth from the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water
is got by diving. The diver, sit

goat. skin bag around his left arm,

then be takes in his right hand a
heavy stone, to which is attached
strong line, and thus equipped
he plupges in and quickly reaches

Three at a Time.

Philadelphia, April 22.-Mr.
Mocaris is about thirty two
years OF age, and is a brakeman
on the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad. He lives
with his wife, who is described as
short in stature and slight in fig
ure, thirty.one years old. Up oD
Eighteenth street, yesterday, the
lady gave birth to triplets. The
news spread rapidly, and the
house was besieged with visitors
Seventeen pounds, the three of
them. Well Well! was the
general exclamation. SLOWS
Mrs. Mocaris?" was the general
inquiry.
The husband and father meekly
smoked his pipe, on the door
step. "Mrs. Mocaris is very low
now," he said, "but she's got a
good constitution, and has had
five children older than the three
that came to day--that makes
eight, don't it? And / am poor
man, too. Well, she's the moth.
er of three at once-a boy as weighs
eight pounds, a girl as weighs
FIVE, and another as weighs four
and half. Pretty good, amt it?
for a little woman only eight
years married, and only seven and
a half in the country" The
thrice blessed parents were as
much surprised as the neighbor-
hood by the plural addition to
their family, but the father says,
resignedly: sits heavens will to
send thepoordebts and babies, and ]
can't help it."
Conpersville, April 24.-Mrs
Peter Kooler, living few miles
from town, has astonished her
husband and the community by
giving birth to three fine boys.
The triplets are doing well.
Mrs. Charles Lintner. living
five miles northwest of Virginia,
Cass County, Ill, few days ago
gave birth to triplet boys, weigh
ing seven and one.fourth pounds
each. At last accounts the little
Linters were well and doing fine. !

when he saw | had trapped him,
and that it was no use, he broke
down, began to cry and sur
rendered.
He rose and dressed, and we left
the house SO silently that no one
knew of our going. He declared
that he would make NJ effort to
escape, and accompanied me to
livery stable, and stood by while
a horse and chaise were made ready
for q trip to the county prison.
On the way out he made clean
breast Of it. He was in debt for
bets, cigars, liquors and jewelry,
and his aunt refused him except a
small sum. He had ct fret
planned to rob her of part, but
changed his mind and decided to
kill Der and take all. She had
been awakened, sprang out OF bed,
seized and recognized him, and he
had struck her down and then
put the body on the bed, just as |
had figured it in my own mind.
He believed himself secure from
detection, but when l spoke about
the bills having been numbered,
he had left his bed and changed
them from one hiding place to an
other for fear they would be found.
He would have been tried, but
he committed suicide the second
night after being placed in Jail;
aud to this day there are people
in Colville who believed that Tom
was innocent. and that my un.
founded suspicious and uDjustifia-
bic arrest drove him to his death.

Resolve or NOT Resolve.

The following article clipped

should have its due weight with
every thinking young man. 1t
rings Of the mettle of true man.
illness:
"Over forty years ago twelve
boys in Henry county, Tenn,
were warmly attached to one an
other. They loved each other as
boys intimately associated do.
The joys of one were the joys of
all. The sorrows of one were the
sorrows of all. Day by day,
and year by year they passed
away in happy association.
What one liked the other liked
What one hated they all hated.
This was the rule. But to most
rules there are exceptions, and it
was so In this case. The Wash.
lngtonians came along. Seven of
them endorsed the doctrine and
resolved never to drink alcoholic
liquors as beverage. The other
five refused and continued to
drink. This history has sequel
which deserves consideration.
The five boys who continued to
drink all now fill drunkards'
graves. Not SO with the seven
who resolved never to drink. G.
B. Hicks has been a member of
the M. E. church, South, for for
ty years. Thomas and Richard
Randle both died Presiding FL
ders in the church. Wm, E.
Travis is to day a member OF the
Tennessee Legislature; Clinton
Atkins is one OF the leading spirits
Of the United Safes Congress;
James D. Porter is to-day,the pop
nlar Governor of Tennessee, and
lsham G. Harris has twice been
elected Governor Of the State. So |
much for resolving not to drink,
and refusing to make the noble re-
solve. Boys who read this little
item of true history, note it, we
pray you, and try aud profit by |
it, and may God help you.

The prominent citizens of
Huntsville. Ala, who lynched Mike
White, might perhaps have hesi-
tated to commit that crime if they
had known that Whites life was
insured Tor $4,000, and that tire
insurance company would sue the
county for the amount. While
hnman life is held cheaply iD
Huntsville. currency is scarce, and
valued in proportion to its search
ty. Besides, insurance companies
are notoriously long-winded in
litigation, and the lynching of
White will probably prove to have
been a costly amusement. The
next time a Huntsville highly re,
spectacle mob proceeds to lynch
a man they will, no6oubt, find oui
first whethr his life is insured.
