RECALLED TO LIFE BY A SHREK

The recall of a country girl to lite by .
sisters shrek is one OF the local topics OF
the Journal, of Evansville, Ind. The young
lady had been quite i'll for weeks, and was
thought to be dying Of consumption. She
had grown so weak and emaciated that her
strength was no more than child's. One
afternoon, while lying upon her couch, her
sister came in from walk and sat by the
bedside. A conversation began, and the in
valid began to speak. As she uttered the
first word, she felt bewildering weakness,
and sinking futter Of her breath. Her
eyes became fixed, the lower jaw dropped
as in death, and the body became motion,
less, while consciousness disappeared, The
sister leaped from her seat and ran 10 the
door shrieking to her mother thather sister
was dead. The sound of the shrek pene-
,rated through the veil of death, and reused
the sinking faculties The blood, which
had congested the lungs, was sent back by
the nervous shock, and, gathering her
strength by strong effort of the will, the
Invalid opened her eyes and awoke to life
again, breathless and amazed at the thrill.
ling peril she had escaped.

A WORD OF ADVICE TO NEWSPAPERS is CIV
en- by Rev. Washington GLADDEN. in Sunday
Afternoon, for May. He says-Not only do
our newspapers offend by the publication of
the vile details of great crimes, but also by
picking up and spreading abroad little scan
dals little unpleasantnesses in society, little
bits of gossip that no sensible or honorable
person wishes to know or would allow him
self to repeat. Much of the space of many
weekly papers and of not few daihes is de-
voted to matters of this description. The
tittle-tattle of the neighborhood, that is not
only silly, but poisonous in the extreme, IL
gathered and served up in as appetZlng
manner as possible for the entertainment OF
the whole community. Domestic ntchclues,
with which the public has no business at all,
afford material for spicy items business COM
plcatons are worse complicated by unau-
thorized reports concerning them little
troubles in the churches which those who
have the care of their interests are doing
their best TO compose are famed into grave
dissensiops by references TO them in the news
papers Sometimes when the details of these
small scandals are not given, there are little
hints and innuendoes that serve to put all
the prurient and meddlesome noses in the
community on the scent for lndecency or
mischief What excuse or justification can
there be for the puDhcauon OF sucn items
Who is profted by reading them? What in
terest of intelligence, of morality, OF decency
is promoted by spreading abroad these miser-
able details of gossip? The only reason for
printing them is that many people like to
read them; they make sale for the papers
But the taste that Graves them is vicious
and degraded taste, and the business of graf
flying and stimulating such taste is bad
business.
If it is disreputable for a man to go about
ringing his neighbor's door bells and reciting
to them scandals by word of mouth, it is
more disreputable for him to print them in
widely-circulated newspaper. The story that
gentlewoman would not stoop to tell in good
society, no gentleman ought to print in his
paper. Meddling and notwithstanding is
lust as reprehensible in a reporter as in any
other man. The fact that such stuff makes
his paper sell is poor justification. And
until the managers of newspapers learn to
discriminate with little more care between
the news which the public has right to hear
and the news which is simply noisome or in
furious scandal, the business of journalism
will suffer serious loss of respect and OF in
huence.

A half century ago, a large part of the peo-
ple of the United States lived in houses un-
painted, upholstered, and utterly devoid of
adornment. A well-fed fire in the yawning
chasm of huge chimney gave partial warmth
to single room, and it was a common re-
mark that the inmates were roasting one side,
while freezing the other in contrast, ma
iority of the people of the older States now
live in houses that are clapboarded, painted,
blinded, and comfortably warmed Then,
the household furniture consisted of a few
plain chairs, a plain table, bedstead made
by the village carpenter. Carpets there We're
none. To-day, few are the houses in city or
country, that do not contain a carpet of some
sort, while the average laborer by weeks
work may earn enough to enable him to re-
pose at night upon n spring bed.
Fifty years ago, the kitchen "dressers"
were set forth with a shining row of pewter
plates. The farmer ate with buck-handled
knife and an iron or pewter spoon, but the
advancing civilization has sent the plates and
spoons to the melting pot, while the knives
aud forks have given place to nickel or silver
plated cutlery.
In those DAYS the utensils for cooking were
a dinner-pot, tea kettle, skillet, Dutch oven,
and frying-pan; to-day there is no end of
kitchen furniture.
The people of 1880 sat at evening in the
glowing light of pitch-knot fire, or read
their weekly newspapers by the tlickerng
light of 'tallow dip;" now, in city and vii
lage, their apartments are bright with the
fame of the gas jet or the softer radiance of
kerosene. Then, if the fire went out upon
the hearth, it was rekindled by coal from a
neighboring hearth, or by flint, steel, and
tinder. Those who INDUCED in pipes and ci-
gars could light them only by some hearth
stone to-day we light fire and pipes by the
dormant fireworks in the match safe, at a
cost of one hundredth of a cent.
In those days We guessed the hour of noon,
