Betting on a Sure Thing.

A tough-looking citizen walked into
ore of the Justices courts in Virginia,
Nevada, very much intoxicated, and re-
quested that he be allowed to swear off
drinking for year. His Honor oblig
ingly put him through the solemn mo-
tions, and the convert, with a confused
rumble of well-meant but profanely ex-
pressed resolutions, stumbled out of the
court room.
"Bet he don't keep it an hour" said
one of the grinning lawyers.
"Bet he sticks to it for a week any
how" observed the court with conf
dence.
NonsenseI" cried everybody.
Whatll you bet?' asked the Judge.
"Twenty to ten," exclaimed an eager
attorney, producing the money.
"Donep' cried his Honor, and the
stakes were turned over to Chronicle
reporter.

ego out and fetch that man back"
In a few minutes the reformed one
was dragged in and the Judge ascended
his dais, raped for order and looked
| severe.
Charged with being drunk" said
the court. "What's your plea?'
"Guess Pm FULL" remarked the pris-
oner, with an idiotic smile.

A Mystery Explained.

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent
the summer among the White Mountains in
search of health, and who seems to have
searched the whole mountain side without
being able to find pair of blooming cheeks
or an inch Of hea thful skin: Mrs. White,
who has remained at home because her nus.
band could not afford to go, but whose fresh
complexion and bright eyes seem to have
caught their bloom aud brightness from
mountain Dreezes.

Wives Rights to the Family Purse.

The Country Gentleman thinks that
Elf every man would pay his wife a
weekly sum for housekeeping, clothing,
ETC., he would find that in nine cases out
often her management of the fund would
increase not only his comfort, but that
of the whole house." and it says: IF
she is equal to the task of being a wife
and mother, she is also equal to the
task of supplying and paying for the
daily necessities of the home. If she is
head manager she will take pride and
pleasure in making one hundred cen is
go great way-much further than a
man could make one hundred and fifty
go. She will also make calculations
about the expenditure of the weekly
sum; will lay by a certain amount
toward buying such and such supplies
ia quantities; will learn that there is nc
economy in buying soap by the bar,
starch or sugar by the pound. She will
systematic her affairs, keep her books
"a day-book and ledger-and exhibit
her well-kept accounts with pride and
delight. The very fact that the expendi.
ture of the money belongs to her will
sweeten her life, give new zest to he1
occupations and make her happy and
more contented wife. To most women
the idea of asking for money is abhor
rent. They put it off from day to day,
the dread of it is so great. They will
wear expensive clothes in the kitchen
rather than ask for the money needful
for the purchase of plain calico dress
The subject Of money supplies in the
home opens a. wide field of thought t.
the husband. Will he cultivate it
Many wives of the middle class have
been accustomed to earn tt,:r own sup
port, to purchase their own wardrobel
before they were married. But after
marriage all is changed; they must asl
for what they require rather than hav'
it paid to them quarterly. Atfrst thei
wants are few or all supplied: but ont
or two years alter their outlook and j
becomes very dreary. Can the HUSBAND
understand this? l trow not. He will
tell you: my wife has all she asks for,
never dreaming how many days i
requires to summon courage to ask TO
necessities. An utterly false statement,
exclaims some one: there's no womal
afraid to ask for what she needs! Ma,
] ask you to inquire of your own wifi
how she feels on such occasions. Unles
she is afraid to speak the tauth, you

Cruel Treatment Of Coolies.

lSt. Louis spdrit.I
From time to time we read of mishaps
meeting women travelling alone, till it
sometimes seems as if it were utterly un-
safe for a woman to travel alone. Still,
women must travel, and very often alone,
and by exercise of due caution and fore
sight, there is no reason why it should
not be perfectly safe for them to do 80.
There are few rules which, if followed,
it seems would save a world of anxiety
and trouble.
l. Before starting On journey famil-
iarize yourself with the route, and with
names of good hotels at the various stop
ping places.
2. Never travel with Just enough
money, but always carry enough to pro-
vide for any possible emergency. This
will save much anxiety.
8. Wear but little jewelry, and keep
inside pocket out of sight.
4. Always look after yourself, and do
not allow a stranger to procure your
tickets or checks for your baggage.
5. Avoid, if possible, making changes
in cars by night; but when unavoida-
BILE, go with others. Do not become
separated from the crowd.
6. Take no hacks, but 60 in an omnibus
where there are other people. These are
perfectly safe.
Z. If in any doubt as to changing cars,
checking baggage, ETC., inquire in adj
vance of the conductor. The conductors
on our trains are always polite and will
ling to be of service especially to women
travelling alone.
8. Do not wait till about to make some
change in train before inquiring of the
conductor, for, ten to one, he will then
be hurried, and you will only half in,
form yourself.
9. Under all circumstances endeavor
to retain your presence of mind. One
who can do this will have no trouble
travelling, to travel alone. I think it an
advantage for them to make trips alone
for there are few people who are not al
times obliged to do so, and experience
does away with much of the possible
| danger in travelling.

A GREAT source of danger in the
using of kerosene lamps, which seems to
have been generally overlooked, is the
habit of allowing lamps to stand near
hot stoves, on mantel-pieces, and in other
places where they become heated sufa-
GENTLY to convert the oil into gas. Not
unfrequently, persons engaged in
cooking or in other work about the
stove will stand the lamp on an adjacent
mantel-piece, or even on the top of a
raised oven; or when ironing, will set
the lamp near the stand on which the
heated iron rests. 1t is needless to en-
large upon the risky character of such
practices.-Scientifc american.

1t is possible to do this even in regions of
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is very largely attributable to the
fact of its efficacy as remedy for chills and
fever, bilious remittents, and as preventive
of the various forms of malarial disease. In
those portions of the West and South where
complaints of this nature prevail, and in
the Tropics, it is particularly esteemed
for the protective influence which it exelts,
and it has been very widely adopted as a
substitute for the dangerous and compara-
lively Ineffective alkaloid, sulphate of
quinine. Physicians have not been among
the last to concede its merits, and the en-
phaiic professional Endorsements which it
has received have added to the reputation
it has obtained at home and abroad.

fruit to be as good on the top of the
