A Lucky Child.

The adoption of children, writes a cor
respondent from Rome, which prevails TO
a considerable extent in America, seems to
be extending to Italy. Some thirty years
ago German lady, of rank almost prince
ly, was staying at Albano, and took a fancy
to two beggar children-a boy and girl
of extraordinary beauty. Her Excel
lency, who had plenty of money, adopted
the two brsts, and gave them the best pos
sible education. The boy turned out an
arrant scamp, and took to evil courses
and soon died of dissipation. The girl
grew up model of womanly grace and
beauty, and found many admires, and,
among others, young Roman noble, who
won her heart, but abused her confidence.
The Pope heard of the misconduct of the
young nobleman and compelled him to
marry the girl on pain.of his displeasure.
The marriage was accomplished, and the
German Princess settled her enormous
fortune on the married couple. For few
years all went happily, but alas the young,
husband died of fever. leaving his widow
with a son of years old To inherit large
property and a Distinguished title. The
child Of the Albano beggar girl will be
one of the richest Counts in Rome when he
attains his majority.

what shall We EatY

What U eat. is certainly q question oi
great importance. Miss Juliet Corson has
Just delivered lecture upon the subject
in New York She said that one-sixth of
our waking hours are devoted to the con.
sideration of our food supply. 1t has been
said 1.-THE first duty of an American is to
get something to eat" The second duty
is TO cook it properly. The relation be
tween the food and health has been too
long disregarded. Hence arises our beau
tifully-defined national disease "dyspep-
sia." Men would make better husbands
if they thoroughly understood all the do
mestic duties which their wives have to
perform. Different occupations and diff
ferent climates require different kinds OF
food. Food is of three classes-nitro-
genous or meaty food, carbonaceous or
fatty food, and phOsphoretic or brain food.
The first is best for quick and powerful
exertion, the second for warmth and for
men who do continued labor, and the third
for speakers, writers and thinkers. Adm
ner should contain all these, SO that all
tastes can be satisfied. Plenty of plain,
nutritious food should be eaten early in
the day TO replace the waste of the night.
a midday dinner is best for hard workers.
As rule, we eat too much meat. More
peas. beans, or lentils, with little meat,
would be as nourishing, as. satisfactory
and a more healthy diet.

A Marriage On the stage,

There wac marriage ON the New Haven
stage on Thursday evening, and the gallery
was struck with awe. At the close of the
regular performance it was announced
that "Mr. James Jones, of Jones & Creston,
the rifle shots, would be united in marri-
age 10 Miss Josephine Blanchard, a mem
ber of the company" After Miss Farrand
and the Ross sisters had finished dancing
the curtain was lowered, and the orchestra
playen the wedding march. The curtain
was then rung up, disclosing the happy
pair surrounded by the entire company.
After the applause had ceased, Hugh
Daley, Justice of the Peace, stepped
forward and performed the solemn service
of the Episcopal church. Dnring the
ceremony the whole audience, from the
students in the boxes, to the boys In the
gallery, preserved perfect silence. When
Mr.. Daley left the stage and the curtain
was lowered, storms of applause followed.
In response the newly married couple
came before the curtain,-the first encore
of their welded life. Why the Justice of
the Peace should have manifested an un-
due preference for the rites of the EpiscO-
pal church, and not have conteDted him
self with the customary forms of the Office,
was not explained in the handbills of the
theatre.

Voices OF Industry.

The buzz of the glittering saw, the click
of machinery, and the trembling vibra-
tions of its swift revolving wheels, are the
voices Of industry, singing their daily
song to the laborer, speaking with pow
er that language cannot express, of the
thrift, wealth and prosperity of a nation.
Take away our home industries-the
click, clack, clatter of the blacksmith as
he swings his ponderous sledge and a
thousand sparks answer to the lusty notes
rung out from his anvil; the whizz of the
escaping steam at the factory, as it sets in
motion its thousand fingers of steel, where
the busy artisan shapes into beauty
the Inanlmate wood before him, until it
has been fashioned into articles of use,
luxury and comfort. Take these home
industries away. and where would our
thriving townships be, that have grown
from the swaddling clothes of little ham
let nestled between the mountains, into
thriving, prosperous townships. We think
home industries should receive all the
fostering care and encouragement we are
capable of extending, when we feel that
| they have materially added their quota to
the prosperity and wealth of the country.
In this connection 1t may not be inap-
propriate to mention the prosperity OF the
enterprising organ factory. of Alleger
BOwlby & Co., of Washington, New Jer.

creased to such an extent, that they will
be compelled shortly to increase theiI
force 1t is ever gratifying to chronicle
the success OF our friends, but especially
do we extend words of good cheer to these
whose thrift and industry have contri
buted in no small degree to animate and
assist surrounding pursuits, while the fir
sides of a hundred happy homes burn al
the brighter from the influence their in

Important Physiological Events.

The skin contains more than two mil
lion openings, which are the outlets of an
equal number of sweat glands. The hui
man skeleton consists Of more than two
hundred distinct bones. An amount of
blood equal to the whole quantity In the
body passes through the heart every min
ute The full capacity of the lungs is
about three hundred and twenty cubic
inches. About two-thirds of pint of
air is inhaled and exhaled at each breath,
in ordinary respiration. The stomach
daily produces nine pounds of gastric
juice for digestion of food; its capacity is
about five pints. There are more than
500 separate muscles in the body, with an
equal number of nerves and blood vessels.
The weight of the heart is from eight to
twelve ounces. 1t beats 10000 times in
twenty four hours. Each perspirstory duct
is one-fourth of an inch in length, which
will make the aggregate length of the
whole about nine miles. The average
man takes five and one-half pounds of
food and drink each day, which amounts
to one ton of solid and liquid nourishment
annually. A man breathes eighteen times

hogsheads of air per hour.

A wedding Three Years Conce.led.

On one of the excursions which left
Staunton in October, 1876, for the Cen
tennial were two passengers-one young
lady of Rockbridge, whose bright face, as
well as her bright mind, had made her as
popular il Staunton society as at home,
and another was u young gentleman of
Staunton, temporarily residing in Rock
bridge, who contemplated shortly remov-
ing to the far West. They were devoted
lovers, and, as the sequel will show, the
gentleman took such a precaution against
the lady changing her mind during his
expected absence as was insurmountable.
Stopping in Baltimore few hours, the
lady and gentleman, after the latter had
procured license, repaired TO the resi-
dence of Rev. Mr.. Murkland, the famous
Presbyterian minister Qhe lady being a
Presbyterian, and were united in wed.

vision. Then he found himself outside
the building without any hat, and the
dusty zephyrs played through his luxuri

souri, ir 1914. Every day families came
in from the east with nothing save what
they could bring on four-horse wagon.
They would settle on 160 acres of land, get
out the logs, and build rude cabin.
They had no sugar. no coffee, no comfort
able food, but they lived some way. They
make themselves sort of syrup from
pumpkins; they scorched wheat and made
wheat coffee; with a hand machine they
broke their corn SO as to make sort of
bread, and all the time kept to work, kept
raising babies and lived. They shot tur-
keys, prairie chickens and squirrels for
meat and scuffled along. L used to watch
their progress, and it was certain thing
that in the fourth OF fifth year after their
arrival they would build themselves q
comfortable house and turn the original
cabin into a stable. Now the sons of those

those pioneer mothers wear robes, single

DR.. F. c. Ware, of Bucksport, Maine, had
an exciting encounter wish a toup cerpier,
or Canadian lynx, last Tuesday evening.
Some friends had been spending the even
ing at his house on seminary Hill, and at
about O'Clock the Coctor took a small
lamp and started for the cellar to procure
some apples. In part of the cellar wood
is piled, and as the Doctor neared the bot
tom of the stairs he heard steps, and then
scme of the wood ratified down, as if a man
was moving in the cellar. Raising his
lamp in order to get better view, the
Doctor advanced a few steps, and he saw a
huge lynx. This 0ipal must haye made
its way throuA , sement door, acci-

a stick of wood, - nx jumped from
idly that he could 9o&rike it. He then
went up stairs and procured revolver,
and after telling the folks to keep the sit
ting room door closed he went back to the
cellar. This time found the lynx perched
on the edge of the coal bin. He fired, and
the animal jumped to the top of the wood
pile, about fifteen feet. The Doctor fired
again. The lamp chimney fell, leaving
him in darkness, and he was obliged to go
up stairs and procure another lamp. On
his return to the cellar he fired two more
shots. The lamp chimney again fell, and
In the dark the lynx DOunue0 past the
Doctor, and ran up the stairs. Being stop

pantry. There he perched himself upon q

Doctor fired another shot. Then the lynx
started out of the pantry, and being attract
