a recent letter from Otis, Mass, TO a
New York paper says: John Smith. of
Tins place has resumed his peculiar ont
door worship. Last Sunday he went
precisely al ten O'Clock into the forests
and set up an image, before which he
knclt and performed other idolairous
ceremonies learned while he was in the
South Sea Islands. This custom he will,
as he has done for years, keep up until
cold weather sets in. During The win
ter months and especially upon stormy
sundays, he worships a stuffed squirrel
winch Is set up in nook in his house
Smith also huWbles himself before
gnarlcd trees or any peculiar object that
he sees in the woods.
In Difference 10 the customs of the
people, Smith refrains from another
practice learned thirty years ago, he
says, during residence among the
South Sea Carribees. lie saws he was
shlpwrccked and got ashore, and met
with the favor of the chief. lie there
tasted human flesh, and now admits
frankly that he prncticcd oannibalism
ioI several years. lie says that he graf
lhed his appetite in this respect in New
Jersey some years ago, but gives no
further details. a day or two ago he
said that he yet hoped to secure the
consent of some of the fat and hand
some people in Otis to allow him to
make meal from them, but he does
not want anyone who uses tobacco or
wears beard. A year ago he offered
TO work six months for the father of a
littlegirl and TO take his pay in repast
from the child's shoulder. Smith is a
man with an actual iron jaw. lie eats
meats raw and grinds beef bones as
mastiff would, and he is particularly
fond fish, which he eats as he takes
from the hook. There is nothing Smith
likes better than to get hold of snake.
If he finds one he seizes it and bites il
through the back to stop its squirming.
lie says that striped snakes are better
eating than the most delicate cells.
When Smith first came here people
thought him crazy, but he is so sensible
in other matters that they now believe
he acquired, as he says he did, these
tastes in the South Sea Islands.

the town of Wells, about ten miles
southeast of Sparta, Wis. Over hun

and lasses, and many older ones, from
all the countryside around, were on
hand, filed to the full with health and
happiness and enjoying the festive occa-

half-past ten O'Clock some lemonade
in couple of Jars was brought in and
commenced having n rapid sale, tbc

freedom. Not long after this hour a
lunch was served, and it began soon to

A Few Testimonials.

The Secretary of the Lime Kiln Club
laid before the meeting q communica-
ton from the Board of Health ofJersev
City asking what sanitary benefits the
club had noticed from the use of white
wash, and the members were invited 10
relate their experience.
Sir Isaac Walpole said he knew of u
case where certain family were always
having the mumps. One coat of white
wash on the kitchen ceiling, at AZ cX-
pense OF forty cents, drove disease away
and made the family one of the health
lest in the city. The cure was so mark
ed, and the benefits so apparent, that
the man afterwards hired Mr.. Walpolc
TO whitewash the parlor, and cheated
him out of his pay.
The Hon. Primrose said he once knew
family who were greatly troubled
with headache and cold feet After
spending fifty dollars for patent mcdi-
cines they hired him 10 whitewash a
bedroom and all was JOY and peace.
lie had TO take his pay in old clothes
Ii mes, but the cure was just the same.
Waydown Bebee stated that he was
once consulted by family troubled
with the ague. lie advised II coat of
whitewash on the fence, and only seven
pickets had been wbitcncd before the
man wos able 10 get up and walk 10
the window to see dog-fght, and in
an hour the wife was down town over
hauling goods.
The Rev. Penstock knew n case where
a family cured consumption by white
washing the barn, and of another where
citizen had his chambers whlewashed
on Saturday and found fifty dollars IN
cash on the street on Monday.
The secretary was instructed TO an
swer the board TO the effect that every
barrel of lime used us whitewasb offsets
the labors of at least three doctors, and
that no respectable family should be
without it.
n. B.-The prices for whitewashing
in Detroit will remain the same De-

that she was a thing of flesh and blood
like other women, and he admitted her
to the prison.
We need not describe the scene that
followed the meeting of the lovers. In
some respects 1t was sacred. In due
time the custodians of judicial power
and authority came to the prison, where
they listened to new revelation.
Mary Adams was not dead at all l.
The story which her lover had told was
true. On the night of the quarrel, fear
ing that he might do some rash thing,
and really desirous, for the time of get
ting out of the way, and beyond his
knowledge, she returned secretly to her
home, where she made up small bum
die OF some necessary clothing, and
then, unknown to any one, she crept
away, and before morning was beyond
the possibility of reach or recognition.
Having found new home in a far
away, mountainous region, she had not
seen any newspaper until she had been
several weeks in her new home. She
read the account of her own death, and
the arrest of her old lover for her muir
der with astonishment, and now she
had come to set matters right.
AS fortune would have 1t, on the very
day of Miss Adams return an officer
from an insane asylum appeared in
search of an escaped patient, whom, af-
ter weeks of labor, he had succeeded In
tracing in that direction. He saw the
garments which had been taken from
the body of the dead woman, and reeog-
nized them at once as belonging to his
patient.
The initials, " NJ. A." which had
been supposed to stand for Mary Adams,
were really meant to represent "Mor-
tonborough Asylum" The officer saw
Miss Adams, and declared that if he had
met her on the highway or in a crowded
public conveyance he should certainly
have arrested her. Her resemblance to
the patient he sought was wonderful.
And so the truth was known at last.
BY fortunate revolution of the wheel
light came to Mary Adams, and her re-
appearance upon the scene came with
saving power to William Claypole.
The lovers went away from the
prison together, and certainly we have
just ground for the belief that the ordeal
through which they had passed was
sufficient in its terrible experience to
lead and sustain them in the only safe
and peaceful way in life-the way of
trustful love and wise forbearance.

A Word to Young Men.

or all the evils prevalent among young
men, we know of none more blighting
In its moral effects than to speak lightly
of the virtue of woman. Nor is there
anything in which young men are so
thoroughly mistaken, as to the low es-
innate they form of the integrity Of
woman-not of their own mothers and
sisters. AS rule, no person who sur
renders himself to this debasing habit is
to be trusted with any enterprise requir-
ing integrity of character. Plain words
should be spoken OH this point, for the
evil is general one and deep-rooted.
If young men are sometimes thrown
into the society of thoughtless OF de-
praved women, they have no more right
to measure other women by these than
they would to estimate the character OF
honest and respectable citizens by the
department of crime in our police
courts.
Let our young men remember that
their chief happiness depends in utter
faith in woman. No worldly wisdom,
no misanthropic philosophy can coves
or weaken this fundamental truth. 1t
stands like a record of God itself, for it
is nothing less than this-and should
put an everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont to speak disparaglngly of the Per-
feet Woman
