Madison was economical and died rich.
Monroe died so poor that he was buried
at the expense OF his relatives. John
Quincy Adams left about $50, 900, the re-
suit of prudence. His son, Charles
Francis Adams, gained large fortune
! by marriage. Jackson died tolerably
well off. Van Buren, died worth some

Some Interesting Facts.

Experiments made 1870 years ago de-
monstrated that bell, rung by clock
work, when placed under an exhausted
receiver, emits no sound. The report of
Il pistI on the top of Mount Blanc makes
no more noise than than the explosion of
percussion cap at the level of the sea,
and aeronauts tell us that at the height
OF two miles all sound ceases.
A German naturalist answers the ques-
ton how many eggs hen can possibly
lay, rs follows: The ovary of hen con-
tains about 600 embryo eggs, of which,
in the first year, not more than twenty
are matured. The second year produces
100; the third, 1856; the fourth, ia, and
in the following four years the number
decreases by twenty yearly. In the ninth
year only ten eggs can be expected, and
thus it appears that after the first four
years hens cease to be profitable as lay
ers.

Welcome TO the Wafer

A lively scene on Boston Common
over thirty years ago is thus described
in the american CultiUdtor of that city,
The introduction of the Cochituate Lake
water was really an important event in
the history of the New England me-
tropolis, and is still gratefully rcmem-
bered:
On the 25th of October, 1S48, at sun
rise one hundred guns were fired and all
the bells of the churches rung. The
streets had been decorated with flags,
triumphal arches and mottos, the troops
had been reviewed on the common by
the Governor, a magnificent procession,
occupying over two hours in passing
any given point, had filed through the
streets, and now with ming1ing of
banners, plumes and arms, a sea of up
turned faces had halted near the spot
then occupied by the "big tree"
1t was four O'Clock when the ceremo-
MES were commenced by singing hymn
to the tune of Old Harvard by the i'm
mense assembly, led by the Handel and
Haydn Society. After prayer from
the venerable DR.. Sharp, the mayor
said, "Citizens of Boston, it has been
proposed that pure water be introduced
into the city. All who are in favor of
the proposition will please to say aye
A tremendous shout of "Aye" arose
from all parts of the common. and the
fountain at that exact moment burst
forth, scattering its sparkles and its
freshness in mid. air! The enthusiasm
of the citizens broke forth in a thrilling
chorus that woke the echoes of the hills
for miles around, and the roar of the
multitude, mingled with the booming OF
artillery, welcomed to Boston the pure
waters of Lake Cochituate.

The Fast Horse "Rarus.o

R. B. Conklin, of New York, owner
of 'Rarus," says that he has owned
Rarus from his birth, and as soon us
he discovered that the colt was pos
sessed of so many qualities indicating
endurance and speed he determined not
to allow his enthusiasm to get the better
of his judgment, and instead of urging
the coming horse to the limit of his
possibilities in his earlier years, he care
fully and gradually trained him UP to
his present excellence. The horse is
now twelve years of age, and during his
whole life he has never had single day
of natural sickness. The only time he
was not in condition was about three
years ago when the groom, forgetting his
manhood and duty to his employer, al
lowed himself to be bribed by Jealous
and INSCRIPTIONS jockeys, and admin
istered narcotic drug to the noble
brute, but the owner, who constantly
and untiringly keeps close supervision
over his valuable pet, soon after discov-
cred the trouble and by prompt measures
defeated the base designs of the perpe-
traitors. "Why," said Mr.. Conklin. 81
know that horse as well as | know my
self, and the minute Istep into his stall
or gaze into his eye / can tell his condi-
ton. So long have I been accustomed
to so examine him that l can without
fail determine whether he will trot fast
or otherwise. We can't control the ele-
ments, but if Rarus lives and live, |
shall yet see 2.1O hung on she outer
walls of the judges stand" In
answer to the value of this king OF
the turf, his owner said: Il have
several times been offered $4,000 for
him, but that offer did not tempt me, and
/ don't think it ever will. | can afford
to keep him and, Providence permitting,
propose to do So"

He is successful because he has the manly
courage to rise above all personal motives or
interests and cast his vote and influence on the
side of measures which will contribute to the
well being OF his fellow-men. The good of the
many, even though it proves injurious to the
interests OF the few, is the maxim OF the wise
legislator But certain men will never admit
the wisdom of this doctrine, any more than
some selfish private practitioners will admit
the superlative value of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, because these remedies have injured
their practice. OF course, no man in his right
senses will pay physician $500 for a consul
tation, bottle of bitters, few powders, and
a prescription, when one bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and bottle of his
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, both costing but
$l.25, will accomplish the same result, viz
cleanse the liver and blood, regulate and tone
the stomach, and impart healthful action to
the bowels and kidneys.

Cautions In Eating,

l. OF course, don't eat too much. The
digestive fluids are limited in quantity.
All above enough is undigested, irri-
tating and weakening the system, and
often causing paralysis Of the brain by
drawing on the nervous force more
rapidly than it is generated.
?. Don't eat between meals. The
stomach must rest, or it will sooner or
later break down. Even the heart has
to rest between the beats.
3. Don't eat a full meal when eX-
haustei. The stomach is rs weak rs
the rest of the body.
4. Don't take lunch at noon. and eat
heartily at night. The whole digestive
system needs TO share in the rest and re-
cuperatiUn of sleep. Besides, the tend
ency is to put full meal into n weak
ened stomach.
5. Don't substitute stimulus for food
like many women who do half days
work on strong coffee or tea. As well,
in the case of a horse, substitute the
whip for oats.
6. Don't have daily mOnotony OF
dishes. Variety is necessary for relish,
and relish is necessary to good diges-
ton.
7. Don't eat blindly. There can be
nothing in the body-muscles, mem
branes. bones, nerves, brain-which is
not in our food. One article furnishes
one or more elements, and another
others. We could starve on fine flour
Some articles do not nourish but only
warm.
s. Eat according to the season-one.
third less in summer than in winter. In
the latter season, fat meat, sugar and
starch are appropriate, as being heat
makers; in the former, milk, vegetables
and every variety of ripe fruit.
0. Eat with cheer. Cheer promotes
digestion; care, fret and passion arrest
it. Lively chat, racy anecdotes and in
nocent gossip, are better than HalforC
Youths Companion.

When the bowels are Disordered

No time should be lost in resorting to a suit
able remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the most reliable and widely-esteemed medi-
cine of its class. 1t removes the causes OF
constipation, or of undue relaxation, of the in
testines, which are usually indigestion or
misdirection of the bile. When it acts as Il
cathartic it does not grippe and violently evacu-
ate, but produces gradual and natural effects,
very unlike those OF a drastic purgative; and
its power of assisting digestion nullihes those
irritating conditions OF the mucous membrane
of the stomach and intestinal canal which pro-
duce first diarThea, and eventually dysentery.
The medicine is, moreover, an agreeable one,
and eminently pure and wholesome. Appetite
and tranquil nightly slumber are both pro-

The New York ErpreSS says that "dia-

Young ladies that travel alone on the
railway that runs through tunnels
should be very careful about their jew.
elry. This caution refers particularly
to earrings, which should be fastened
securely, Only few days ago young
lady had short ride beside a gentle
man, and when the cars emerged from
a tunnel, the passengers observed one o.
her earrings hanging in the rascal's
beard. There is no telling how many
young ladies are robbed in this manner.

Farmers, wives and their Work.

Farmers wives generally have the pity
and cOmmiseration of every ase-loving
and ease taking woman of any class Of
society. Thanks; we don't ask your
sympathy, we need not have such woeful
hard times. Any woman by calculating
and using a good deal of tact may very
often diminish her work by half See
each day that things are in order for the
getting of an easy breakfast; if it is to be
potatoes, have them nicely prepared be-
fOrehand-meat and every such thing
that is possible-the table set, etc, have
II nice clear cover for it, and don't be
guilty of sweeping just the last thing be-
fore covering your table. SO many peo-
pie cook and eat in the same room; if
you wish to do yours self great credit with
your meals, do have them in cool room.
They will look, taste and be better than
if they must be eaten in a room so warm
that it almost STILES one to enter. Can
you not arrange it in some way? have
you not some boards that will do first
class to make summer kitchen large
enough for your stoveP You will surely
find some. If you cannot possibly do
better set your table in the sitting-rOom !;
yes even if it newly papered this spring
Have a coarse piece of canvas to spread
over the carpet before putting out the
table, and one can afford to sacrifice
something to secure comfort these days
when we get so weary under a tropical
sun. We seldom cook anything for tea
do all that in the morning-make tea
at noon, AMI have il cold and arrange it
so as to have cold meat and even cold
vegetables. "Your men folks won't eat
such II mealP" Well, try it. Perhaps
ours have been educated to it, but they
really prefer it. Ireally hope you have
screens, for nothing is more annoying
than the tedious buzzing of flies, and how
much work they make. Mosquito net
ting costs but little, though if one has
the wire screen it will last long enough
to pay the difference. Early in the morn
ing darken all the windows and doors
except one sunny door; the flies will soon
alight on that screen and you can brush
them out easily. You will find you can
get them nearly all out, and it is such
tiresome work to fight flies the way some
d o. Ifyou can take the time to lie down.
If only for twenty minutes in the after
noon, it will be time well invested you
will find. - Esther Ray, in Prairie

Western and Southern States.

A fire at st. Louis destroyed an elevator
containing $50, 900 bushels OF grain; three ex-
tensive ice-houses and other adjoining build
ings were also burned, entailing "a total loss of
about $4,000.
During a storm lightning struck stable
near Thornton, Va, killing two young men
and seriously iniuring two others who .had
taken refuge therein.
At Deadwood, Dakota, Captain j. s.
Mitchell, who lately arrived from Evanston
Wyoming, committed suicide by shooting, On
tie same night L. f. Whitbeck, local editor OF
the Deadwood Pioneer, shot at a colored man,
who he claims had assaulted him. The bullet
missed the colored man, and struck r. S.
Marian, formerly wholesale grocer of Dead
wood, on the forehead, infiicting a probably
fatal wound.

Mr.. z. l.. White staff correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writes from Salt Lake
City, saying that he finds that place Gin a state
of unusual excitement, and Gentiles and Nor
mons, who in ordinary times look upon one
another with suspicion and distrust, are now
indulging in threats against each other, and
the community seems to be drifting into a state
OF feeling which, to say the least, is not assur
ing, and causes much apprehension among the
conservative men of both classes" The recent
decision OF the Supreme Court in the Reynolds
test case, declaring polygamy unconstitutional
was like thunderbolt to the Mormons; and
in addition there has been a recent change
made in the territorial law relating to juries,
which is quite as important as the Supreme
Court decision, for the new law enables the
prosecuting attorney to weed out all Mormons
from jury about to try man indicted for
polygamy Formerly part Of every jury was
composed OF Mormons, who would never vote
to punish man for committing crime of
which they themselves were guilty, and which
they considered no crime ut all.
DIR. r.. w. Mitchell, the intrepid yellow
fever physician of Memphis, describes the city
as wholly cut off from the world. There are
no trains running into or out Of the town, and
nobody leaves the place without the authorities
knowing it. No steamboats, land there at all.
The supplies are all brought down on barges,
which are dropped by the steamboats, couple
of miles above the city and allowed to float
down. When they arrive at the city men in
shifts or tugs secure them and bring them to
aboard it is done by some daring peddler who
runs his wagon of supplies into the town on a
venture, sells out, and then clears out,

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Fashion Notes.

Felt will be worn this winter, in spite
of predictions TO the contrary.
Polonaises of shot silk are worn over
underskirts of muslin or gauze.
Black silk walking suits have pulled
sashes of velvet or silk brocade.
Bustles of all lengths are shown, for
wearing with all kinds of costumes.
Some of the new suits have the pocket
very near the lower edge of the skirt.
The lower skirts of autumn dresses
are short both in front ans at the back.
Wider ribbons will be used this win
ter than have been in vogue this SUM
mer.
The overskirt and lower skirt are
fastened together on nearly all the fall
dresses.
The sunflower, in combination with
black velvet, is used for chair backs and
cushions.
Plaid silks will be used to brighten the
dark costumes worn by young ladies
this winter.
Some of the new gauzes made for
milliners' use have small figures in a
striped ground.
Shaving fringe will still be worn in
the tall. Lace will be used on dresses
but not on outside wraps.
When the dress is looped up at the
side by being pulled through a ribbon
the style is the gooseherd.
Piece silk hemmed in roll, and satin
arranged in triple folds, are to be used
on some of the autumn bonnets.
A bright brocatelle, with cashmere
stripes and interviewer gold threads, is
one of the stufs provided for trimming
winter hats.
Large hats and bonnets for driving and
small ones for walking is the rule, but
women who have no carriage and have
bought large bonnets defy the law.
Short full paniers on each side of the
skirt are worn by young ladies. Those
which begin in front, and are united by
simple band, are preferred by older
women.
Stripes and figures are equally vel
represented in the autumn importations
of silks; the figures are small and set in
orderly rows, and the stripes are only
about an inch wide.
Fan-shaped brooches are again in
fashion. Iney are very elaborate, Delne
enameled with flower designs in bright
colors, and having turquoises and s
small mirror set in the sticks.
White buntings are worn by ladies O.
all ages, the only difference in the cos
tunes being in the trimming, for which
old ladies use black velvet, and young
ones white or colored satin ribbon.
Some of the new bonnets are mucl
followed out at the back and have large
roses set in the opening. In front thei1
effect is much like that of the cottag,
shape, and the face trimming is of roses
Simple styles of addressing should
be adopted for mourning wear and fol
the street. Elaborate structures of puff
ard curls are almost invariably accom-
panied by shabby gowns, and indicate
the poverty of the wearer.
