How Far Twenty Cents Will Go.

The wife of the man next door has a
fertile brain, which is kept actively en-
ployed in variety of directions. Among
her household gods are a dozen of
plants in pots, and variety Of these in
a box mounted on pedestal. The box
she got at the store; the pedestal she
and the boy together made. After it
was done she wanted it painted.
She might have sent it to the painter
for that purpose, but he would charge
more than it was worth. To save the
extra cost she determined to do the
work herself. She could get pound of
paint all mixed in pot, with brush.

returned after the work was done. 1t
was simple thing to paint, and she
could put it ON as easily and nicely as
o trained hand could do it. The man
next door didn't think much about it.
It was not in his line, but he got the
paint.
1t was q great surprise to the wife OF
the man next door to see how little OF
the paint was required to cover the bog
and pedestal, and how much was left
after the work was done. What should
she do with it? Not return it, of
course, for she would not be allowed
anything for it. Now that she had it
she might as well use it. There was
undoubtedly something it could be
used on.

question, and was not long in finding

box holding her securing sand. In
few moments it was a delightful green.
Then she looked around for other
fields to conquer, and presently she
found them, and continued to find them
as long as the presence of paint made
it necessary to search for them. She
was nearly the whole afternoon using
up that pot Of paint, but it was time
well employed.
And it was amazing, as she admitted
to herself, how far 20 cents worth of
paint would go, iudiciously applied.
She knew her husband would be sur
prised when he came home at night at
all she had done.
And he was.
When he observed the green clock
case and looked at the green paper rack,
and found that he had green writing

stool, and saw the green coal scuttle,
and got against the green clothes-horse,
he was too full to say word.
Then he picked up his green boot
jack, and when he did that he gave a
wild, scared look about the room, sank
down in his chair, and found his voice.
He said:

Mark TWain's Plagiarism.

At breakfast given ci.e time to DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Twain made an
open confession: "WLen my first book
was new friend of mine said: The
dedication is very neat Yes, I said,
thought it was. Ny friend said: I al
ways admired it, even before I saw it in
the Innocents Abroad" 1 naturally
said, What do you mean? Where did
you ever see it before?' We'll, I saw it
first some years ago, as M. Holmes

Keys" OF course my first impulse
was to prepare this mans remains for
burial, but upon reflection said [

two, and give him +. chance to prove his

to a bookstore, and he did prove it. /
had really stolen that dedication
almost word for word. I could not
imagine how this curious thing had hap
pened. For I knew one thing for dead
certainty: That certain amount of
pride always goes along with teaspoon
full of brains, and that this pride pro-
tects man from deliberately stealing
other peoples ideas. That is what
teaspoonful of brains Will do for a man;
and admirers had often told me I had
nearly basketful, though they were
rather reserved as to the size Of the
basket" Twain gave an explanation,
the usual one. He had read Holmes
poems until he was entirely saturated
with their flavor, and he unccnsciously
stole the dedication. Perhaps" adds
Twain, 81 unconsciously stole the rest
of the volume, too, for many people
have told me that my book was pretty
poetical, in one way or another" The
offender wrote to DR.. Holmes explain
ing his, feat of grand larceny, and re
ceived very kind reply 81 afterward
called On him." Mark adds, "and told
him to.:make perfectly free with any
ideas of mine that struck him as being
good protoplasm for poetry. He could
see from that that there wasn't anything
mean about me; so we got along right
from the spot" -Chicayo Times.

Alaska Winters.

In winter. from what I can learn, the
storms are mostly rain, at a temperature
of 35 or 40 degrees, and strong winds,
which, when they sweep the channels
lengthwise, lash them into waves, and
carry the salt scud far into the woods.
The long nights are then gloomy enough
to most people, and the value of snug
home, with blazing, cracking, yellow
cedar fire, and book-covered tables.
maybe finely appreciated. Snow falls
quite frequently, but never to any great
depth, or to lie long. Only once, since
the settlement of Fort Wrangel, the
ground was covered to the depth of
four feet. The ordinary depth any
where near sea-level is said to be a
sloppy condition. The mercury seldom
falls more than 5 or degrees below
the freezing point, unless the wind
blows steadily from the mainland. Back
from the coast, however, beyond the
mountains, the winter months are in
tensely cold. At Glenora, on the
Stickene river, less than 1000 feet
above the levelof the sea, temperature
of from 80 to 40 degrees below zero is
not uncommon.

EntereStin. Facts,

The tomb of Edward l., who died in
1901, was opened Jan..2, ITO, after 463
years had elapsed. His body was al
most perfect. Canute, the Dane, who
crossed over to England in 1017, was
found 1779 by the workmen who re-
paired Winchester Cathedral, where his
body had reposed nearly $50 years, per-
fectly fresh. In 1869, three Roman
soldiers, fully equipped with warlike
implements, were dug out of peat in
Ireland, where they had probably lain
1900 years. Their bodies were per-
fectly fresh and plump. In the reign
of James Ii. of England, after the fall
of the church at Ashley, in Warwick
shire, there was taken up the corpse Of
Thomas Gray, Marquis Of Dorset, who
was buried The 10th Of October, 1880,
in the twenty-second year of Henry
VII; and, although it had lain there
seventy-eight years, the eyes, hair,
flesh, nails, and joints remained as
though it had been but newly buried.
Robert Braybrook. who was consecrated
Bishop of London in 1881, and who
died in 1904, and was buried in st.
Paul's, was taken out of his tomb after
the great fire in 1866, during the re-
pairs of the cathedral, and, although he
had lain there no less than 262 years,
the body was found to De firm as to
skin, hair, joints and nails. The Con-
vent de st. Domingo was partly demol-
ished in search of treasure supposed to
be concealed there, and the body of
Prince Rodriguez taken out, who had
been buried alive in 1865, exactly as
when placed $50 years before. His
daughter, 81 years of age, was lying at
her fathers feet, and as perfectly pre-
served as himself. The evidences of
torture on him were fearfully apparent.
The position of his hands showed that he
was suspended by the body and neck
until he died. Marks of the cord and

Why Gambetta Broke his Engage
mQuf.

Gambetta is bachelor; but he has
not lived so long without having at least
contemplated marriage. The story of
his engagement to an heiress in Western
France, and It's sudden breaking of, give
US a fresh glimpse of his character.
From the time of his leaving his humble
home at Cahors, till his rise to the high
est rank OF public personages, Gambetta
lived with a faithful, loving, aunt. who
had followed him to Paris, and who
madeevery where he went pleasant

of-ail-work and his congenial companion;
and he was as deeply attached to her as
she was to him. His engagement to a
handsome and accomplished girl with a
dot of 100000 was shock to the good
aunt, but she yielded gracefully to the
inevitable. When the arrangements for
the marriage were being discussed. how.
ever, the young lady took it into her
head to make it a condition of their
union that the aunt should be excluded
from the new establishment. She was
scarcely elegant enough to adorn giided

his aunt had been to him; the rich beau

a Remedy for Diphtheria.
IMPERIAL RUSSIAN LEGATION,
WASHINGTON. Nov. Is. 1879.

In view of the increase of diphtheria
in several places of the state of New
York, fastened to communicate to you
for publicity u very simple remedy,
which having been used in Russia and
Germany, may prove effective here. Out
OF several others, DIR. LetZericb, who
made extensive experiments in the appii-
cation of this remedy, has used it in
rwenty-seven cases, eight OF which were
of Il very serious nature, all of which had
a favorable result, except in one case,
when the child died from complication
of diseases. For children of one year
he presclibes the remedy, for internal
use every one or two hours, as follows
Natr. benzoic, pur. 5 @ solv. in az
distillat aqmenth. piper. ana 400 syr.
cort. aur. 100.
For children from one to three years
Old ne prescribes it from seven to eight
granimes for 100 grammes of distilled
water, with same syrup; for children
from three to seven years Old he pre-
scrlbes ten to fifteen grammes, and tor
grown persons from fifteen to twenty-five
grammes for each 100 grammes.
Besides this he uses with great sue
cess the installation on the diphtherial
membrane through a glass tube in seri-
Gus cases every three hours, in light
cases three times day OF the natr. ben
zoic pulver. For grown people he pre-
scrlbes for gargling dilution of ten
glammes of this pulver for 200 grammes
of water.
The effect of the remedy is rapid.
After twenty-four or thirty-six hours the
feve1ish symptoms disappear completely
and tho temperature and pulse become
normal. This remedy was used also with
the same success by DR.. Braham Braun
and Prof. Klebs In Prag, DR.. Senator in

An Arkansas Cyclone.

This is the way in which one was de-
scribed by a man who was in it:
81 was about 200 yards from my
house when saw it coming. It was in
the prairie when I saw it, and looked
like black smoke from large furnace.
Its shape was like funnel, inside it
was red as fire, and around this was the
black foggy mist. In looking at it [
saw large and small timber carried
along with it. My attention was at
tracted by the roaring, and, as it was
coming in the direction Of my house, 1
ran to it for the purpose of protecting
my family. I put my three little
children in q side-room among some
corn, and, with Sylvester Bull, was
holding the door, and all at once the
whole building was crushed to the very
ground by large trees being blown
against it. It blew me about sixty feet,
and when l became conscious l found
myself among lot of timber and logs,
and Sylvester was lying by my side
dead; his head and whole body were
crushed. AS I was On nay way to the
house I looked again at the cyclone
when it was about 100 yards away, and
saw it lift and carry away d lot Of hogs
and a COW. The children when found
were not more than thirty feet from
where l had placed them, but none
hurt. My wife was considerably
bruised, being blown about sixty yards,
among lot Of lumber.
any sister-in-law was carried about
fifty feet and thrown to the ground,
her arms and shoulders badly bruised.
my blacksmith-shop was also blown
fiat to the ground, my bellows entirely
destroyed, all my planes, augers, saws,
and chisels were carried Off and have
not yet been found, with the exception
Of one saw found one mile from the
shop and broken in two pieces. My
wagon was torn up badly, the front
wheels being about sixty yards from
where the wagon stood, lodged against
a stump; the hind wheels were both
smashed up; the wagon bed has not yet
been found excepting a few splinters.
All my bedding and wearing apparel
was carried Off and entirely destroyed.
I lost all my provisions.
Immediately in the rear of the wind
came food OF water, just ike water
