Making It Hard to Swear.

A philosopher once shamed compan-
ion out Of his profanity by exclaiming,
"Pipes and tobacco!" every time he
wanted an expletive; and lady silenced
a swearer in railroad car by requesting
him to put his oaths into Hebrew. To
all who are afflicted with the habits of
profanity, and who are DESTROYS of cur
ing themselves of it, the Louisville
Courier Journal makes this suggestion:
The writer recommends, as a begin
ming, that they resolve, and rigidly adj
here to the resolution, that whenever
they feel disposition to swear they
will take no other name In vain except
that of the Aztec god of war, Huitzilo-
pochtli.
That will give their anger chance to
cool and to disappear before they get to
the other end of the word, and they will
not thus be guilty of the sin of COM
plete oath. And if Huitzlopochtli won't
break them, then their cases are hope
less.

Poisonous Fishes.

A study of poisonous fishes has been
made In France by M. Leon Fournol.
He finds that there are four classes of
these animals: % Those that are harm
less at some seasons, but poisonous at
others; (2) those that are wholesome
when young, but become poisonous after
attaining certain age; 81 those which
are poisonous only occasionally; and az
those that are invariably poisonous. To
the third class belong the barbel, the
conger eel, and, if we include mollusks,
the mussel and the oyster. NJ. Fournol
thinks that the cases on record of poison
ing by mussels and the oysters are at
tributable to the fact that these shell-fsh
had eaten the eggs of star fishes, which
are known to be powerful irritants, so
that when handled they occasion vio-
lent eruption on the skin.

A Virtue Of the Flea.

Sooner or later every creature finds an
advocate. Now appears from Armenia
a much-traveled Briton, by the name of
Capt. Creagh, and loudly sings the
soothing, soporifc virtue Of the wicked
flea This astounding wanderer assures
us, as of his personal experience, that In
Armenia, at least, Sc the crawling of in
sects, from the crown Of the head to the
soles of the feet, is so lethargic, and,
Like the action of shampooing, SO sooth-
ing to the limbs of the weary traveller,
that the instant the feas have covered
his body in as great multitude as the
ants on an ant-heap, he with a smile of
peace and satisfaction on his face drops
gently into profound and refreshing
slumbers An English Consul, after
long residencein Armenia, having retired
to his native country on a pension, had
become so accustomed to the feas that
he was unable to sleep without them,
and his housemaid always carried
snuffbox full upstairs and put them into
his bed with the warming-pan.

WHY She Died.

OF the late Comtesse de Colloredo
who was once leader in European So
ciety, it is related that she was one day
taking her daily constitutional on the
terrace at Weisbaden, when young
man came up to her, and, bowling, said:
"Bonjour, Madame Ia Comtesse. "
Monsieur" replied the lady, stitily, Z" L
have not the honor OF your acquaint-
ance." "But 1 have had the honor of
being presented to you," pleaded the
stranger with smile. POSSIBLY; but,
as have already said, I have not the
honor Of knowing YOU" "I am the
Prince of Wales, remarked FL. r. H.,
bowling once more, and moving on. The
poor Comtesse tainted, and died four
days after. 1t was fatal blow to that
which she held most dear-her SoUoir

Women In AfghaniStan.

The dress of Afghan women, especially
those whose husbands have rank or
wealth, is extremely picturesque. A
short, tightly fitting bodice of green,
blue, or crimson silk confines the bust,
but buttons so closely up to the throat
that one can only guess at the proper
tons of shoulders and bosom. The bodice
is generally embroidered with gold, and
then becomes so stiff and unyielding that
it is virtually corset. In cold weather
the short arms of the sari are continued
down to the wrist, and the vest itself is
padded with wool for the sake of warmth.
Trousers, o. la I11rc, baggy and flowing
as Fatima's, and tightly fastened at the
ankles, broad silk knmmerbund Of al
most endless length, with the ends SO
disposed that they become skirts, dainty
white socks, and tiny slipper or shoe,
gold embroidered-such is the indoor
dress of Cabulese lady, while covering
all, save feet and ankles, is the volumi-
nous white garment drawn over the head
and face, and falling to the heels. These
yelled beauties have jewelry scattered
over their forehead, hands, wrists, arms,
and ears; while handsome gold loops Sc
cure the yashmak at the back of the
head; the hair being lightly drawn from
the forehead, and tied tightly into knot,
Grecian fashion. The length of silk
kummerbund which encircles lady's
waist is sometimes astonishing; one 1 saw
must have been twelve yards long by
eighteen inches broad, and the end was
even then not forthcoming.
The slippers and shoes are of Cabulese
make, and are very pretty. On pale
green background beautiful patterns are
worked with gold and silver thread and
parti-colored silk, until the effect is more
like that Of fairy slipper than one for
daily use. But stout leather sole is
put on, with high heels rudely bound
with iron, and then the work of art is
complete. The stalls in which their slip
pers and shoes are made are the gayest
in the whole bazaar. A Cabulese lady's
foot is small, almost to deformity, and
the baggy trousers by contrast make
them appear exceedingly petite. From
the few faces seen and those chiefly of
old or passee women, it is difficult to
jndge of the famed beauty Cabulese are
said to boast of. The children are GER
tainly, as whole, the prettiest have
ever seen. Their compilations are red
and white, with tinge of olive pervad-
ing the skin, eyes black and lustrous,
well-shaped features, teeth to make west
ern beauty envious, and bright, intelli-
gent looks CdLcuttG Pioneer.

A Man with Two Hearts.

In Spain man OF wide sympathies is
generally called ga man with two
hearts," But it by no means follows
that man with two hearts is man of
wide sympathies. A Spanish peasant
living in the vicinity of Madrid In a
petty quarrel killed an aged woman, and
would have murdered her daughter
also had not the latter succeeded
in making her escape. Thinking
himself robbed of a great pleasure by
the girls escape, he revenged himself
by repeatedly stabbing the corpse of the
mother. Angularly enough, remorse
preyed so quickly upon his mind that he
Immediately hanged himself. But the
rope broke, and he would, in all proba-
bility, have survived his attempt at
suicide had he not broken his skull in
the fall. On post-mortem examination
the man was found to have two hearts
instead of one; both being of regular
size and presenting no popularity of
any kind.

An end, o soul, to thy poor wearying sadnessl
Christ hketh not to see thee bathed in tears;
The Spirits song is one Of trust and gladness,
Not dirgeful means of melancholy fears.
Dost thou not know tears are for earth not heaven
And not earth now, but heaven, Is in thy soul;
Let songs, exultant DER thy Sins forgiven
Through all its corridors and arches roll
For what Is gone weep not, 'tis gone forever;
Nay, tits not gone, but by the Lord redeemed
For what is now, or may be, weep thou never,
Thy spectral lis to Christ have sanity seemed
Think not by tears to wash out sins; thy Savior
Poured forth not only sacred tears but blood;
Dost think thou wilt be doing Him favor
To add thy tears to the rich blood Of God?
Nay, nay, poor heart, by thy continuous weeping
Thou bhndest thee to richer gifts in store;
Lol while thou agonizest thus, thou'rt keeping
Grace-burdened Christ from entering thy door!
SOUL thou hast had thy cold and cherries winter,
Thy spring with storm of penitental tears;
Now let the sun and song of summer enter
SO with rich autumn fruits to crown thy years!

An Impudent Reporter.

Public men of the present day are
victims to bold interviewers, who OBJ
trude themselves into their quiet homes,
and, not infrequently, invent for them
opinions which they never expressed.
But, more than fifty years ago, Lon
don reporter beat the modern inter-
viewer in impudence. The Duke of
Wellington, while Prime Minister, came
out of the House of Lords one evening,
talking very earnestly with a political
colleague. As the colleague was little
deaf, the talk was In high key, and a
wide-awake reporter heard o few words.
These were enough to indicate that
the conversation was about q matter OF
grave importance. So the reporter fol-
lowed stealthily, and managed to catch
most of the talk, which referred to
Government measure not yet made
known to the Cabinet.
The reporter was In ecstasies. He
wrote out full report of the proposed
measure, and sold it at high price to
Mr.. Black, of the Morning Chronicle.
The next morning it appeared in that
paper In double-leaded column.
London was at fever heat. The Duke
thought the peer had betrayed him, as
he had mentioned the matter to him
only. The Cabinet were sore that an
important measure had been concealed
from them. The Tory members of Par
lament were indignant that neither
Prime Minister nor Cabinet informed
them of an intended policy? And the
Wings were exultant to know the plans
of their opponents. When Mr.. Black
allowed the secret to leak out, there was
a general laugh at the expense Of the
Duke.

Apples.

1t is stated that by careful analysis
it has been found that apples contain a
larger amount of phosphorus, or brain
food, than any other fruit or vegetable,
and so on this account they are very i'm
portant to sedentary men who work with
their brain rather than muscles. They
also contain the acids which are needed
every day, especially for sedentary men,
the action of whose liver is sluggish, to
eliminate effete matters, which, if re-
tanned in the system, produce inaction
of the brain, and indeed of the whole
system, causing jaundice, sleeplessness,
scurvy and troublesome diseases of the
skin.

ONE of the most useful implements
that can be used ON the farm is the
field-roller. It brushes the clods, levels
and smooths the ground, and presses
the earth firmly upon and around the
seed, which causes them to sprout and
grow much earlier. >Of course the
ground should be dry when the roller is
used. In very dry weather the good
rolling of the ground will frequently
cause seed to grow when otherwise they
would not have terminated.

~TIS MORNING AND THE DAYS ARE
LONG,"

had dream of other days;
In golden luxury shown the wheat,
In tangled greenness shook the maize;
The squirrel ran with nimble feet,
And In and out among the trees
The hang bird darted like fame,
The catbird piped her melodies,
Purloining every warbling fame;
And then heard the triumphal song.
"'Tis morning, and the day is long"
They scattered roses, aud strewed the plains,
And shouted dewn the pleasant wales;
heard thousand happy pslams,
And, laughing. wove thousand tales
OF mimic revelry and joy
They hooking well the worldly great
Each tanfaced girl and barefoot boy,
Dear shapers of my early fate
And then again the 8olian song,
"'Tis morning, and the days are leng."
Far winding past the storied town,
The river ran through bosky groves;
It's floods we sailed our vessel down
FulI-freighted with myriad loves;
Our souls went floating to the gales,
With scarlet leaves and shreds OF bark;
We named them cutters, schooners, sails,
And watch them fade in shadowy dark;
Then down the water flowed the song,
"'Tis morning, and the days are long"
Oh, morning, when the days are long,
And youth and innocence are wed,
And every grove is full of song,
And every pathway void of dread!
Who rightly sings its rightful praise,
Or rightly dreams it Der again,
When cold and narrow are the days,
And shrunken all the hopes of men,
He shall reawake with his song,
''Tis morning, and the days are long"
Their oalpitations wild and sweet
The thrills of many an old delight
And dimpled hands that lightly meet
And hearts that tremble to unite,
Arise upon the early morn,
Pass down the lovely wales and stand,
A picture of memory born,
The mirage of a lotus land
A land where once we trolled the song,
SITS morning, and the days are long"

that mean, children-he rent his
