Who Should be Pltied.

Grandfather Lickshingle threw down
the newspaper yesterday in disgust and
exclaimed:
"1t makes me sick, by gracious; it
makes me sick!"
"What makes you sick, grandfather
asked James.
"Why, here's another coachman runs
away with his employers daughter"
" It certainly is too bad" said James.
And they get married the minute
they are out of sight of her father
house."
"The poor, silly thing"
"Well, I should say the poor, silly
thing."I should say the sap-head, the
shallow-pate, the crazy, crack-brained
imbecile," continued grandfather in a
towering passion.
The poor creatures are Just from
boarding-achool," said James, with their
heads full of romantic"
"Who's just from boarding-school"
yelled grandfather.
The poor, silly girls are"
"Who's talking about girlsT' yelled
the old man, a little more savagely than
before. cts the coachman Pm a-hittin'

Not in the Bible.

A resident on Bush street who had
a horse to sell was directed to citizen of
Ninth avenue who wanted to buy, and
after little talk the two made trade.
The Ninth avenue man gave an old
horse and $2S in cash for the other, and
everything seemed perfectly satisfactory.
In day or two, however, the Brush
street man returned and said:
"You and I made trade the other
day!o :,
eyes," replied the other.
"You are member of the church,
underestimate
"Iam."
Well, that horse you traded with
me has SPAWN, and you never said a
word about it. What sort of trickery is
this for Christian man to engage in ?"
The other entered the house without
word, but after a minute reappeared
with the family bible and said:
Mr.. Blank, here is my guide and
consolation. I have read this book
through and through, and if you take it
and find where q Christian man is re-
quired to point out spavins in a horse
trade I'll buy you a better horse than
you ever Owned!'
The Brush street man went home with
new thoughts in his head, and he ha.
said no more about the exchange

Kidnapped.

Our latest files of London papers re-
port a curious story that was lately
going the rounds of the French press.
It furnishes material for at least two
acts of a modern sensational drama:
daughter of an artillery colonel, and
lived happily with her for a twelve
month, at the end of which period he
went for few days to Belgium on bust
ness. On his return the wife was no.
where to be found, but a month later
the tailor and his friends recognized her,
as they imagined, in the corpse of a
young woman who had been picked up
at Auteuil. Unable any longer to con-
tinue in Paris, the tailor went to New
York, where two years afterwards, he
married again. In the month of Janu:
airy the new couple came to Paris, and
rented an apartment in Avenue Fried
land. Last Wednesday, as the tailor
walking the Champs Elysees, he saw a
lady who looked marvelously like his
first wife driving handsome equipage,
and, hiring cab, he followed her to a
hotel in the Avenue D'Eylau. There an
explanation took place. 1t was indeed
his wife, who declared that she had been
kidnapped and kept in ignoble seclusion
for three months by man whose name
she had never been able to ascertain.
When free she had learned to her sorrow
that her husband had gone to America,
and, not daring to return to her rela-
tives, she had entered dressmaker's
establishment, and so on. Inquiries are
now being set on foot in order to discov'
er, if possible, who the kidnapper was.

winds from the Atlantic are sowing
broadcast the seeds of that terrible dis.
ease, pulmonary consumption, while the
malarious exhalations from the undrain-
ed soil of Indiana, Illinois, and other
states of the southern Mississippi val
ley yield an annual harvest of fevers,
Minnesota enjoys an almost entire
immunity from.
The importance and value of Minneso.
ia to consumer, not only of the United
States but of the world, is brought into
striking prominence by the fact that at
the present time the New England states
do not produce sufficient wheat to sup
port their inhabitants for three weeks:
that the whole wheat production OF
New York state would not alone suffice
for the consumption of its population
for six months; that Pennsylvania
yields no surplus, and that for the last
six years the crops of Ohio have been
below its own consumption. There is
thus, it will be seen, agreat and growing
market in the United States itself for all
the cereal productiveness of Minnesota,
while to the nations of the old world,
especially ourselves, it becomes more
han ever essential that they should be
enabled to maintain from these vast
grain producing states some additions
to our own comparatively small crops.
The immense quantities of grain and
other produce which are broug hit from
Minnesota to Europe will find the mos
natural and convenient route ovel
Grand Trunk of Canada, as the necessa
~ links are completed, via Chicago
The directors of the Grand Trunk hay'

A Wealthy Monastery.

The great monastery at Kiev is the
richest and most holy of the Roman
shrines. The tombs of the saints are in
catacombs cut in the rocks overhangipg
the Dnieper, on which the monastery
stands. Over 100, 900 pilgrims, from the
provinces of Great Russia, arrived here
during the course of the year, and their
donations are a great source OF wealth.
All day long the entrance is lined by
rows of beggars, to whom the piety of
the Russian pilgrims compels them to
extend charity. These persons have
bought from the monks the privilege of
occupying the profitable stations where
they pass the day, and it is said that
some Of these posts are valued as high as
1900 roubles year. The government
is perfectly aware of the whole system,
but in face of the superstition of the
people and the firm attitude of the
clergy, it is powerless. A good story is
told of the Emperor Nicholas. At the
time of the great wars with Napoleon,
Alexander I. worked sufficiently on the
patriotism of the monks to induce them
to make loan of 100000 roubles to
the government, for which the emperor
gave his personal bond. When Nicho.
las, shortly after his accession, visited
Kiev, the monks presented this bond to
him. Nicholas was affected to tears,
congratulating them on the possession of
so valuable souvenir Of his revered
father, and earnestly begged them to
preserve it with the greatest care.

Bread from Turnips.

In 1880, during famine in England,
very good, wholesome, white bread was
made from boiled turnips. The mois-
ture was pressed out of the turnips and
they were then kneaded with an equal
quantity of wheaton -four. During the
siege of Paris, the bread served out con-
stituted very coarse and mixed article,

A DOGS Deadly Fight.

Mcdowell Cox, who lives about four
miles from Lafayette, in Wabash town.
ship, about two weeks ago lost dog
which he highly priced. The last that
was seen of the animal was one day
about that length of time ago, when he
scared up some unknown creature and
darted outo sight after it in the bushes.
The disappearance of the dog remained
unexplained until day or two ago,
when Mr.. Cox accidentally discovered
his dead body the woods, aud about
thirty feet distant the dead body of a
large wolf. The ground around where
the wolf lay dead was covered with hair
torn from his woolly coat, and bore evi.
dence of a desperate fight. EvidenA
the dog, after long struggle, had killed
the wolf, aud then walking off distance
of thirty feet or so laid down to die, for
his body was found lying by the side of
fallen tree on a bed of leaves which had
evidently not been disturbed. The wolf
stood about twenty-five inches in height
when on his feet, and was more than
twice as large as the brave dog who
conquered him. This is the first wolf
killed anywhere near Lafayette in many
years.-Lofayette Ind. Journal.
