Be Cautions.

Pause before you repeat an injuri-
Gus story about woman. Say 20
yourself: This may not be true, or
it may be exaggerated unless you
have proof Of the veracity OF your in =
formant. People sometimes tell false
hoods, they often make mistakes, and
they sometimes ''hear wrong" This
is auricular illusion as well as optical
illusion. Take all these things into
consideration before you even believe.
AS Tor repeating the story ask your
self if it is necessary. 1t is sometimes
necessary. Then do 1t with the fear
OF God and the remembrance of the
golden rule before You. Let us give
the helping hand, and not the down
ward push; so may the angels reach
their hands toward us when we stand

The planter eyed the jud ge quite

Giving the Boy a Start.

a lonesome looking boy was yes
terday hanging around a woodward
in the northern part Of the city, when
the owner of the yard, having both
charity and philanthropy for boys
with tears in their eyes, asked the
lad why he didn't peddle apples or do
something to earn a few shillings.
The boy replied that he had no CAPT.
tai, and the woodward man took out
nickel, and said
Nov, my boy, Pm going to start
you in life. Take this nickel and go
and make a purchase of something or
other. I'll buy it OF you for 10 cents,
no matter what it is. Come, now,
let's see what sort OF a business head
you have on you"
The boy took the nickel and went
off, but in ten minutes was back with
a gallon jug which he had purchased
with the nickel.
''Well, you are keener," replied
the man. II never saw one of those
sold less than Is cents to any one.
l want such a jug, and here's it's fair
price. Go now and lay out your
10 cents in apples and I'll buy half
your stock"
The boy did not return. Perhaps
he fell into a sewer somewhere; but
you can't make the woodward man
believe so. When he lifted the Jug
from under the table where the boy
had carefully placed it, he found
hole in the bottom large enough to
let in a black-and-tan terrier.-De-

nor believes that the time the person

unconscious, and this time may be
years, if not taken out of his ordinary
life, because no bodily change will
ever take place while the trance lasts,

now and wanted to leave the world
and come back another day, would
only have to get himself entranced

How His Trousers Got Shortened.

A certain gentleman purchased
pair of pants few days ago, which,
upon being tried on at home, he found
to be too long. That night he re-
marked to his wife that he wished
her to take off about an inch from
each leg, which would make them
the desired length. Being fond Of
teasing her husband, she told him
that she shouldn't do any thing of
the kind, and he retired without
having obtained a promise from her
that she would attend to the matter.
Soon after he had left for his room,
however, she, as a matter Of course,
clipped off the superfuous inch, as
she had been asked to do. The fam
ily is composed Of six members, and
each one OF the five, who were in
adjoining rooms, heard the dispute
between man and wife, and after the
letter had taken off the required inch
and retired, the old lady, desiring to
"keep peace in the family" and not
knowing what her daughter-in-law
had done, cautiously slipped into the
room and cut off another inch.
In this way did each OF the five
ladies, unknown to the other, and all
with the praiseworthy object OF
preventing any misunderstanding be-
tween the couple, clip an inch from
the gentleman's trousers.
The following morning, all uncon-
scious Of what had taken place dur
ing the night, he rolled up his pants
in piece of paper, and took them
to the tailor to be shortened to the
desired length. Upon hasty glance,
the latter ventured the opinion that
they were already short; but the
owner insisted that they were fully
an inch too long. The tailor had no
more to say and our friend retired.
On the following Saturday he
called tor the pants and took them
home, and was supremacy disguised
at finding that the legs reached only
a trife below the knee. He straight
way accused the tailor, but his wife
heard him and came to the rescue,
explaining that she had taken an inch
from each one Of the legs, and her
acknowledgment was followed by
each of the other five ladies, when it
was discovered that altogether the

cumSJancoS prevent tne success OF
experiment in hand. Aided by Mr..
James Grant, Signor Rotura has been
operating on dogs, cats and sheep
with most marvellous results, if the
story is true. He makes a slight
puncture in the animals ear and
pours in few drops of some South
American vegetable extract, now
known only to himself, and the dog
or sheep Immediately becomes rigid,
and, to all present intents and pur-
poses, dead. Then the animal is put
away on the shelf to keep. Not in
this state however, for long, for it is
said that the resemblance to death is
so complete that decomposition soon
sets in. This, therefore, is to be
avoided by freezing the subjects into
the hardness of stone and brittleness
of glass, and in this state the beasts
are to be sent over to England or
any other country which may want
them. AS soon as they arrive
another little hole is to be made in
the neck, few drops OF the antidote
injected, and the animal will immedi-
ately regain consciousness and begin
to skip and frollc about Sometimes,
it is said, the subject succumbs to the
operation of freezing, but not often,
for even such delicate creatures as
newly-born lam5s have been resusci-
tated after being apparently dead
nineteen days.
The immediate object and applica-
ton. of the discovery is the transmits
sion of the surplus stock Of Austria

Signor Rotura expects to work still
greater marvels than that. He has

found who cared to risk martyrdom

he could only die, and if the exper-

Up to three evenings ago such a

known in Mr.. Grattan's house, He
and his aged partner have managed
to pass the evenings very pleasantly,
and he supposed they were happy
enough until friend from the east
paid them a flying visit and asserted
over and over again that the game of
checkers was not only all the rage
there, but that it served to quicken
the perceptive faculties, enlarge the
mind and render the brain more
active. After giving the subject due
thought, Mr.. Grattan walked down
town and purchased checker-board,
and when evening came he surprised
his good wife by bringing it in from
the wood shed, saying:
"Well, Martha, we'll have a game
or two before we go over to the social.
