Charming a Husband,

Sunny South.
Is your husband cold and mat
tentive, dear madam Then over
come that GOODNESS. What specia
grace was it that charmed him most
before marriage? You ought tc
know. Was it your musicsl abili
tyr Was 1t your bright, CHEEKY
laugh, or sparkling, witching eyesi
Was IL your sound, practical com.
mon sense? Whatever it was. use
it as much after marriage as before.
That which charmed him first will
charm him ever; and mans love is
a shirt perpetually needing new
buttons. He is just as queer a
compound as you, with just as many
whlms and vagarles. He likes YOU
To be dependent on him; and the
greater your dependence the better
be likes it.
He Is fond of comparing himself to
the oak and you to the IVY. He is
selfish, unreasonable, egotistical
animal, and you must make a man
of him; and you cannot do it with
the baldheaded end of a broom. He
is to be worn with the same arts ap6
witcheries with which you won him.
If you win him at all. You make
his home, and his happines depends
as much on you as on him. Tell
him often that you love him; he
knows it, but the assurance is none
the less sweet.

Birth of a Sea Lion on the Cars.

Uncle John Robinson, the menag-
erie proprietor, is happy man
He recently purchased a fine pair
of ses. lions for his show from
James r. Mullett, of San Francisco,
and sent his trusty lieut. nant,
George Fisher, to Chicago to re-
celve them there, and bring them
to Cincinnati. Fisher took charge
of the basket crate containing the
lions and put them in the express
car. When he arrived he went into
the car to see how his charges were,
when he was greatly surprised and
gladdened to find that the female
sea lion had given birth during the
night to fine baby. The little sea
lion is about two feet long, will
weigh eighteen or twenty pounds,
and is as lively, after its fashion, as
the proverbial cricket 1t is a dark
brown color, has very lustrous
eyes, and is as cunning an ''ootsey
tootsey" as ever gladdened the ma
ternal heart of fond mother

tactical nourishment, which it alb
serbs with a constancy truly com
mendable. Its mother seemed veIy
proud Of it, and whenever the male
lion clumsiiy moved in the crate
she roared at him ferociouslv, as if
dreading that he would do it harm.
"Uncle John" says it is the sec md
sea lion born in captivity in this
country, and that the first born
only lived an hour. During the
day the baby sea lion had many
visitors, among them several medi-
cal men, and they were of the opin-
ion that it vas very robust speci-
men Of its kind. and destined for a |
long life. Iu the evening the little

plant, and it will doubtless attract

An entertainments of novel
character was recently given at che
house OF Mr. Morarjee Gocaldas,
at Bombay. who invited large
numb Der of guests TO witness some
extraordinary feats of strength on
the part OF the celebrated Decean
athlete, Babajee Tulsiram. The
company, which included many of
the leading Inhabitants of the city,
sat in q semi-circle, at either point
of which were placed several pretty
little native boys, arranged in bril-
liant and costly apparel. The pic
turesQue dresses of the native la
dies who were present. the white
robes of the Parsee gentlemen and
the gay colors of Hindoo attire
had a remarkably fine effect when
seen iii conjunction with the beau
tiful surroundings After some
preliminaries In the way of hand
ing round for inspection the mate
rials with which he intended to
perform, and having satisfied the
company that there was no decep
ton, the athlete, a tall, soldierly
man, some twenty seven years of
age, and with magnificent devel-
opment of muscle, proceeded TO
crush a number OF cowries (shells)
between the !palms of his hands
He completely ground them to
powder in this manner; uttering
during the process, sharp shrill
cries, which were probably inten-
ed to express the magnitude OF his |
exertions. Then the performer
placed cocoonut upon the head of
a boy and with what appeared to
be fearful blow broke the nut |
in pieces and scattered the milk in
all directions, without. strange to
say, hurting the boy in anyway.
The next feat was breaking a
stout coil of rope by simply pull
ing it. One of the most extraordi-
nary parts of the performance was
the following: The athlete placed
a betel leaf between two of his fin
gers, and then, by pressing the fin
gers together, cut the leaf so as to
throw the upper part several feet
high. But the most startling feat
was the breaking of a stone laid on
his chest. The man lay down at
full length on some chairs, and a
huge stone, weighing four Bengal
(equal to one hundred and
twelve pounds, was placed on his
chest. which was simply covered '
Oy a thin tunic. Two men then |
struck the stone some tremendous
blows with heavy hammers, and af- ]
'er two or three attempts the block
oiled off the mans chest in
'wo pieces. He next made several
tttempt to break a cCcoanut with
! handkerchief. His mode of pro- n
;edure in this case was to roll the a
handkerchief tightly in the shape C
If a ball, and then to throw :he ball II
lpon the nut. Pulling a piece of
usar cane in two exactly at the
ONT, and bending a thick iron
late, were among the other feats S
reformed. The company then
vent out on the balcony, where the t.
thlete cut a sugar cane so as to C
brow up a piece thereof one hun G
red and fifty feet high. 1t was b
one thus: A man held out a scimi- k
ar with the edge downwards, and ty
'abajee struck the cane upwards Ii
gainsI the edge of the sword, the "
iece thus cut off flying a great dis N
ance in the air. This brought the it
to a close, and the L
erformer was then presented with ct
handsome shawl. a

with a view of sending him as a
Baptist missionary to Burmah, lee
tured lately in Baltimore. Speak
ing Of the deplorable condition of
woman in the East, owing mainly
to peculiar religious teachings, he
says: "Girls in China are believed
to have no souls, and to kill them is
not murder, and therefore not to be
punished. Where parents are too
poor to support the girl children,
they are disposed of in the follow
ing way: At regular intervals an
appointed officer goes through a
village and collects from poor pa
rents all the girl children they can
not care for, when they are about
eight days old. He has two large
baskets attached to the ends of
bamboo pole and slung over his
shoulder. Six infants are placed
in each basket, and he carries them
to some neighboring village and
exposes them for sale. Mothers
who desire to raise wives for their
sons buy such as they may select.
The others are taken to the govern
ment asylum, of which there are
many all through the country. If
there is room there they are taken
in, if not they are drowned.

among them, one was kicked and
had its leg broken. 1t was decided
to kill the brute and put it out of
misery. He was dispatched by az
axe in the hands of one Of the en-
ployees of the boat. The celebra-
ted old thoroughbred running stall
lion, Delaware, was quietly watch
ing the movement, and just as the
blow was struck he gave a loud
scream and fell backward with a
shower of blood streaming from his
nostrils- For upward of three
hours his agonies were fearful, and
it was thought he would die, but he
finally rallied and may recover

A Journey BY Two Brave Bows.

Our young readers have no doubt
read or heard Of the dread full famine
in Ireland, and of the noble efforts
which have been made in this coun.
try and elsewhere for the relief OF
the sufferers. The Duchess OF
Marlborough, the wife of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, who rules
over that country as Viceroy for
Queen Victoria, was at the head of
committee for raising and dis
tributing money, clothing and pro-
visions to the famine stricken peas-
antry.
just as the Committee of the
Duchess of Marlborough's Relief
Fund was about to hold their meet
ing recently. two little boys, half
naked, travel stained and bare
footed, sought admission to the
castle, stating that they had walked
all the way from Skibbereen, Coun-
ty Cork, to plead for help to pay
their fathers rent, He had a bit
of land, but the times were so bad
he could not pay rent, and he owed |
$40. Having gone round among |
the friends and neighbors, he |
could only scrape together thirty
dollars. The two children, who
had seen respectively twelve and
fourteen summers, thought they
would ask the good Duchess of
Marlborough TO give daddy" the
ten dollars. Away they started
for Dublin, begging their food and
odging, and inquiring the way

Sketch from nature by the New
Haven Register: "Baby was lost
The gate had become unfastened
and his little chunky legs had car
ried him off-somewhere. Nobody
knew where. There was an alarm
in the household, and in every di-
rectlon the searching party went.
"Have you seen a little one?" was
the anxious inquiry from every per-
son met. No satisfactory ieply
from any one, until a small boy
suggested that be might have
elm bed up on the ladder of house
in the process of construction. Up
the ladder went the baby's oldest
brother, and, balancing himself eau
tiously on the beams and scafiold
ing, looked for the missing one;
looked for him where he couldn't
possibly have come unless by bal
loon route. OF course he wasn't
there. Nor nowhere else, and the
expedition went mournfully home
ward to make new stalt. Take
me down 'tairs.' was the first sound
that awaited them as they came in
the front door. There was baby,
rubbing his eyes, and begging to
come down amongst folks. He
had been taking his nap, forgotten,
in his little crib, and never had been
lost. How they did hug him"

Uses Of the Lemon.

This Is the way an exchange
sings the praises of our favorite, the
lemon, and we would willingly ioir
in the chorus if there was one. The
lemon is a native of Asia, although
it is cultivated in Italy, Portuga
and in the south of France. In
Europe, however, it seldom exceeds
the dimensions of the smallest tree.
while in its native state it grows to
over 80 feet in height. Every part
of this tree is valuable in medicine,
though we rarely employ any of it
but its fruit, that is, the lemon
itself. And everyone knows how to
employ this. as in lemonade. To
sqeeze the Juice into cold water,
this is the shortest way, or to cut it
in slices and let it soak in cold wa
ter; or to cut in slices and then boil

The Nashville Banner of late
date says: 1.-The horny handed
citizens of Williamson county who
are expanding their wrath on rail
roads, and talking about repudia-
ting the bonds issued for their con-
structi0n would do we'll to look at
the situation in a business like
manner Yesterday, twelve hun
dred lambs, brought here by the
Pacific road, were sold for So a
head, amounting in the aggregate
to $4,000. Before this road was
built, lambs were rarely ever sold
for more than 75c. per mead, which
would only be 5000, for 1900
lambs. The construction of this
railroad gave the farmers of Wilson
county a market for their produce
which they did not before enjoy,
and hence the farmer now who has
l 200 lambs to sell gets $2,7OO more
for his products than he did before
the completion of this railroad"
