TO Make a Good Wife Unhappy.

Sec her as seldom as possible. If she
is warm hearted and cheerful in temper;
and il, after days or weeks absence, she
meet you with smiling face and in an

monosyllables. If she force back her
tears, and is resolved to look cheerful,
81: down and gapo in her presence till
she is fully convinced Of your indiffer-
ence. Never agree with her,in opinion,
or consult her in any Of your affairs, for
that would give her an idea ofconscquence.
Never think you have anything to do to

Taking Cold.

II IL cold settles on the outer covering
of the lungs, it becomes pneumonia, in
tlammation OF the lungs. or lung tevcr,
and inmanycases carries off the strongest
men to the grave within week. If cold
falls upon the inner covering of the lungs,
it is pleurisy, with its kniie-like pains
and its slow, very slow, recoveries. IT a
cold settles in the joints, there is rheulna-
tism, With its agonies of pain, and
rheumatism Of heart, which in an in
slant sometimes snaps asundcr the cords
of life with ne friendly warning. 1t is
Of the utmost pratical Importance, then,
in the wintry weather, to know not so
much how to cure cold, as how to
avoid it.
Colds always come from one cause,
some part CT the body being colder than
natural for time. If a person will
keep his or her feet warm always, and
never allow himself or herself to be
chilled, he or she will never take cold in
a lifetime; and this can only be accomp-
lished by due care in warm clothing, and
avoidance Of drafts and exposure. While
multitudcs of colds come from cold feet,
perhaps the majority arise from cooling
off too quickly after becoming a little
warmer than is natural from exercise or
work, or fro confinement to a warm
apartment.

Elizabeth Of Russia.

The Empress Elizabeth of Russia.
daughter Of Peter the Great, has been
styled "humane Elizabeth" because she
made VOW, upon her accession to inflict
no capital punishment during her reign :
and she is said to have shed tears upon
the news OF every victory gained bv her
troops, from the reflection that it could
not have been obtained without great
blopdshed. But although no criminal
was formally executed in public, vet the
state prisons were filed with wretchcd
suffers, many of whom, unhcard of and
unknown, persisted in damp, unwhole-
some dungeons. The state inquisition, or
secret committee appointed to Judge per-
sons suspected of hi gh treason, had CON
slant occupation during her reign; many
underwent the knot. and expired under
the terrible infection. But the transac
ton which reflects the deepest disgrace
upon her reign was the public punishment
of two court ladies, the Countesscs
Bestuchef and lady Lap.okin, each of
whom received fifty stroks of the knot in
the open square of St. Petersburg; their
tongues were cut cut, and they were ban.

The Result Of q Revel.

James Blake tuok his last glimpse of
the outside world during his ride to Sing
Sing on April 6. How swift to him must
have seemed the speed Of the iron horse
as it dashed along the Hudson, while he,
with eager eyes and yesrning heart, gazed
upon the vcrnal beauty OF the bright
world which the rash act of a moment
shut out from him forever. This unfor-
tunate young man is only about twenty
two years of age. On January lst, 1877,
he, with a number of youthful companions
started out to make New Years calls.
The too frequent consequence was the
result. After calling on number Of
their lady friends, and drinking a social
glass, they stopped at numerous saloons,
and all became drunk. At Varick and
Hudson Streets the jewellers got into a
difficulty with stranger named
McDonad, a truck-drivcr. A fight cnsued
which resulted in the shooting OF
Mcdonald. Blake was Immediately
arrested, and soon tried and convicted.
He has, Until his recent removal, been
confined in the Tombs. Strenuous efforts
have been made to have his Severe SEN
tence mitigatcd, but his appeal has not
been granted, and he now goes to the
prison on the Hudson for the rest of his
natural life.-N. Y. Dispatch.

Wife Poisoning In Scotland.

A trial similar in some respects to tina
now going on in New Jersey was COM
mcnced May : in the high court Of JUS
ticiary, Edinburgh. before the lord justice
clerk {Lord Monclieff). The prisoner at
the bar is Eugene Marie Chantrelle man
about As years tf age, teacher of tho
French language, and the charge against
him is that he poisoned his wife, Eliza
beth Cullen or Dyer, by administering
opium to her in an orange or in lemonade.
1t was also charged against him that he
bore ill-will and malice toward his wife !;
that he had falsely accused her of
adultery and incest; that he had struck
and maltreatcd her, and that he had
threatened to shoot and poison her. The
lord-advocatc and solicitor. general and
Advocates-Deputy Burnett and Muirhead
were for the prosecution; while Mr.. Tray
ncr, Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Shaw, advo-
c'tcs, appeared for the prisoner.
At the outset an objection was taken to
the form Of the Indictment, which was
sustained to the extent that that part of it
which averred that the prisoner had false
ly accused his wife of adultery and incest
was struck out. It is alleged that the
murder was committed on last New Year S
day, and at the court yesterday number Of
witnesses were examined in regard to the
circumstances connected with the death
of Nine. Chantrellc. She was young
woman, 26 years of age, of PROPOSE sing
appearance, who had at one tiac been q
pupil Of N. Chantrcllc. She was married
to him when she was only seventeen years

marriage. 1t appeared that the pair had

A Prudent Person.

A friend of mine went few days back
to have tooth stopped. The dentist adj
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 my friend.
1T is simply makes you totally inscn-
sible,' remarked the dentist; you don t
know anything that takes place"
My friend submitted: but just previous
to the gas being administered he put his
hand in his pocket and pulled out his
money. ooh, don't trouble about that
now,' said the dentist, thinking he was
going to be paid his fee.
"Not at ALL remarked the patient
:" was simply going to see how much
had before the gas took effect"

How To Control The Hearing Year.


Every strong man is capable of doing
a limited amount OF hard work. ANY
work beyond his powers of endurance,
howcv~r, exhausts him and longer peri
cd Of rest is required than usual to re-
store his wonted physical powers. The
same as he is capable of a certain amount
of work, he is benefited by certain
amount of food. If less than enough,
his strength is impaired. If more, the
functions of his system are harmed by
surfeit. Is the analogy good if applied
to fruit trees? 1t appears that the ten
dency Of fruit trees is to overtask them
selves. They are taxed too heavily one
season-they rccuperate the next. How
can we treat our apple trees SO that their
work shall be distributed evenly from
year to year? If the soil affords an abun
dant supply of food We have only to
regulate their work. We have to deprive
them of the means of exhausting them
selves so that they shall perform Just the
amount of work Of which they are capa-
bic without exhaustion. If the soil does
not naturally supply sufficient quaint
ty of food, We must enrich it so that it
will.

recently, from St. Clair County to Jeffer.

a prisoner named Jones, and atone If

from St. Louis, on the Missuri, Pacific
road, tho, prisoner got away. u Connors
was dumfounded, and got Of the train
and plunged out wildly in the dark, not
knowing just why, but anxious to do
something. He wandered out in the
country, until, tired and wet, he reached
a cabin. when he concluded to stop and
learn his whereabouts. He knocked Wig

The deputy sheriff pleaded manfully,

fell half asleep. The old negress went

Conuors started up, and shouted, "Come

The door opened and a man entered.
He stared at Connors and Conno1s stared
ut HIM. Then the visitor gasped out:
"H-h-ow did you come herc?"
The man was Jones, the escaped pris-
oner! BY one of the most remarkable
condolences on record he had, afte,

as Connors. He seized the prisoner with

In The Clutches Of An Octopus.

The Warrnambool (Australia) Stand
ard gives al account of Il diver being
seized by an octopus or sea-devil: The
diver engaged at tine Moyne River;
Belfast, Ill removing the reef had a
rather narrow escape from loosing his
fife. 1t appears that Mr.. Smalc had
fred off 1. charge Of dynamite and dis
placed large quantity of stones ut the
bottom of the river. He went down to
prepare for lifting these stones by the
aid Of chains into the punt. While Gu
gagged in rolling over large stone he
saw something which he supposed at the
time was piece of clean looking kclp
moving abo 1t in front Of where he was
working. In few seconds this object
came in contact with the divers arm.
about, which it quickly coiled, partly
holding him. Immediately MIR. Smale
touched what was coiled round his arm
hs became aware of his position, and
tried to extricate himself from the grasp
OF "Sea-devil," but found it far more
difficult job than he anticipated. Catch
ing hold Of the part hanging from the
arm VIC walked along the bottom of the
river towards the end Of it, when he
saw he was firmly held by one of the
feelers OF large octupus, better known
amongst sailors as the "devil. fish" Mr..
Smale tried to quill the fish Oft iron, its
hold Of the rocks, but with out effect
for some time.
At last the fish, perhaps thinking
had not sufficient hold or power over it
prey, loosened itself from the stones and
quickly transferred its feelers or arms
arounu the divers legs and body. In
this position Mr.. samlc thought the best
thing for him to do was to get up on
deck as soon as possible, and he quickly
made track for the ladder which reaches
from the deck of the punt to the bottom
of the river. The diver was certainly
u curious looking object when he
came up. This huge, ugly-looking
thing appeared to be entangled ali
over him, holding him in firm en-
brace. However, Mr.. Smale's fellow
workmcn were not long in freeing him
from the unfriendly hug of his submar.
ing companion. The body portion of the
octopus was only aloud the size of a
large soup plate, with eyes in its
head like those Of a sheep, but it pos.
sessed nine arms, each about four feet in
length, at the butt as thick rs mans
wrist, tapering off at the end to as fine
a point rs that of penknife; thus il
could spread over an area of nine feet in
diameter. All the way along the under
