Sprains most frequently occur at or

are generally caused by indirect force

found a few inches from the Joints,

they are located at the site of injury

great, though generally they are found
like sprains at some distance from the

one OF two Of the above conditions occur
as the result of an accident, Is to place
the sufferer in as comfortable a position

LADIES AT AUCTION.-Not long ago
at a church soeiable in Racine, Wiscon
sin, the managers hit upon the rather
fascinating scheme Of raising money by
putting the ladies up at auction and
selling them to the highest bidder for
cash. Some OF the young ladies brought
fancy prices, aud the receipts swelled
the church treasury almost to bursting,
and there was great excitement among
the bulls and bears of the market. But
the plan has entailed an infinite amount
OF IN feeling in that community. One
gentleman's wife, a really charming and
interesting wOman-what the voluble
auctioneer declared was "a most desira-
ble piece Of goods, though not divisable
so as to suit purchasers''-was knocked
down at the Insignificant sum OF twenty
i've cents; whereat the jealous husband
got mad at this slight put upon his
wife's charms, and swOre like the army
in Flanders" at the church and all con-
nected Herewith. The friends of the
family have taken sides with them, and
the rupture threatens TO be a serious one
for that church. The indignant hus-
band asks, "How would you like to have
your wife sold for two shillings z" Per-
haps it would be well enough to remind
the gentleman that specie payments
have been resumed, and that the prices
of all commodities have struck bed

Our Work Basket.

To US, who are obliged to practice the
little economies OF life, it is a positive
necessity to patch and darn, and our
patch basket soon became an iudispen-
sible institution in the home of our early
married life. 1t is an old basket now,
showing the wear Of a quarter of a CEN
tuTy's use; il has held in its prime the
tiny garments of the first baby and the
last. The basket grew no longer, though
the babies did, and il is treasured now
as a precious reminder Of those early
days.
The little feet whose restless pat
teTing kept this basket full OF frayed
stockings, have gone out to travel the
worlds devious ways, leaving it empty
now, and mother to dream of the row OF
little shoes that used to nightly lie on
the sitting-room hearth. Think a barn
would not hold the garments that one

garments that came back weekly to get

folks to finally kick out with their little
heels.
Then there were the clothes for the
older ones of the family to be made, that
were folded into the willing receptacle
till finished; there were shirts for The

to the conclusion that the post office

II was announced yesterday by cable
that the failure Of David Stuart & Co.,
Of Liverpool, had seriously affected the
Presbyterian Agency in America, for
whom they were agents, aud to whom
they were largely indebted. To-day
the treasurer of the Presbyterian Board
Of Missions in this city said that the
Board were as much surprised at the
failure as many Of the houses in Liver
pool. 1t was impossible at present to
state how much the firm was indebted
to American Presbyterians, as the busi-
ness was conducted by means of circu-
lar notes, the extent of which was not
yet known. 1t would be necessary to

The Duke Of Argyll, his daughter
Lady Mary, and Lady Campbell and
Lord Walter Campbell, his youngest
son, left for Canada via the Hudson
River railroad yesterday morning. They
proceeded direct to Niagara Falls, from
which point they will take the steamer
down the st. Lawrence River to the
thousand Islands and Quebec, at which
place the Marquis of Lorne and Princess
Louise will join them, and afterwards
proceed to Halifax and thence to Mon
treal. The Duke and his party will re-
turn to this city July Is, and will take
an early departure for home.

a correspondent of Vick's Magazine

adding that he picked his corn last year
inside Of sixty days from the time Of
planting. 'Let the conditions of the

wedding and hOeing, stirring the ground
thoroughly, thin the stalks TO three or

A Woman's Golden Words.

Miss Frances +. Willard, of Chicago,
IS President of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union of Illinois. Her
good mother writes her these golden
words:
Don't be discouraged, my child. First il is a
thought; then "a conviction; then iJ is an argu-
nenti then IL is the great heart Of the people;
then 10 is victory. Thatls coming, and we have
but to wait.
The life-experience of this mother has
given her faith IN the progress and
POtUer Of right. What her creed NAV
be, is of small moment compared to
this and this is one great lesson that
every spiritual thinker should learn.
With that lesson in the heart aud soul,
come fidelity, heroism, perseverance,
and victory at last. OF course we work
while waiting, and 50 we win. This
applies not merely to temperance, but
to every great reform.
This WOman's Temperance Union
has Just presented a great petition to
our State Legislature that women may
be allowed to vote on liquor license.
Some one hundred and ten thousand
names OF which fifty thousand were
voters, were signed to this petition,
which was stretched from pillar to pillar
over the heads of the peoples servants
IN the State House, lUgged up to the
speakers desk by two men, presented
with fit addresses by three women,
treated with high respect, and a special
and brilliant public reception given its
advocates at the Governors house. 1t
had the largest list of signers ever given
to any petition in the State, and will
win not to-day, but in good time
women will vote on that question, as
surely they should, as having theiral
at stake-the sanctity of wifehOOd and
motherhood and home. Then ther win
vote on other questions; equal rights
will help peace and justice, and che
world will be the better for it,

"BEAUTY SLEEP" Sleep obtained
two hours before midnight, when the
negative forces are in operation, is the
rest which most recuperates the system,
giving brightness to the eyes and a glow
10 the cheek. The difference in the APP
pearance of a person who habitually
retiTes at ten o'clock, and that Of one
who sits up until twelve, is quite re-
markable. The tone of the system, so
evident in the complexion, the clear
ness and sparkle Of the eyes, and the
softness Of the lines Of the features, are,
in person Of health, kept at "concert
pitch" by taking regular rest two hours
before twelve O'clock, aud then obtain
ing the "beauty sleep" of night. There
is a heaviness Of the eyes, a sallowness
OF the skin, and an absence OF that glow
In the face which renders it fresh 10 ex-
preston and round in appearance, which
readily distinguish the person who
keeps late hours.
