She Selected his Text,

A young lady had been spending the
day with bachelor minister aud his sis

Miss Hope, had been much gratifled
with the kindly treatment received at

That the little boys prefer boys 10 girls.
That the little girls love the girls best,
That they don't gct over their prcicrcn-
cpa 10 soon IN the boysdo, some of them
never. Tint women love the men best
hecnusc they love everything they have
10 take care OIL. That men love women
bcrnusc they can't help 1t. That the
wife loves her husband 20 well That she
hna no thoughts for other men. Thnt
the husband loves hls wife 30 well that
hr loves nll women for her pnke. That
riti. who have given over all hopes of

Into Their Old Ruts,
But tho Baltimore and Ohio
Continues on the Line sho Start.
I'd out on Last Spring.

1t has become foregone conclusion
that the Baltimore and Ohio will remain
its "seven hours ahead" rival lines hav-
ing fallen back into their old ruts and
left the fast tram field TO be occupied by
the old line. This is eminently satisfac-
tory to the road and the travelling public
alike, and both appear to thrive on it,.
Business on the road has increased to II
remarkable extent, and the attention
given passengers is such as to make
them tie to the old line stronger than
ever. The new coaches recently put on
are exceedingly fine, and these with the
splendid engines and magnificent sleep
ing cars make II royal train. While the
regular fast time schedule Is made with
ease, now and then the failure of some
connecting line to arrive on time neces-
states u little extra effort. This was the
ease the other day when nm engine ran
siXty-four miles in siXty-nlnc minutes,
and II few days before when another en-
gnc knocked of nincty-threc miles In
less than an hour and forty minutes
No improvement on the line receives
more kind wolds than the renovated
dining halls. One can now get in them
as well cooked and nicely served meal as
the most fastidous could wish. Since
May very large amount of new steel
rail has replaced the old along the entire
line, and thousands Of tons of stone
have been put in as ballast, The mon
stcr steamer Canton which transfers the
New York trains of the road across the
bay at Baltimore, does her work most
successfully, The transfer is made In
five minutes as against half hour by
the old mode of hauling cars through
the streets of dhe long, tedious ride In
the tunnel under the city.

Jail Delivery in Lee.
Escape Of Willis the Murderer

On Thursday night the 9th John d.
Willis, and five others, who were inn
p.isoned by Judge Rives for violation
of the revenue laws, sawed out Of their
cell In Jonesville Jail. The exterior lock
of the Jail they are said to have opened
by means Of wooden key. This theory
is not very complimentary TO the quail
ty of the lock on the Jail. Willis has
once been condemned to be hanged, but
the Court of Appeals had remanded his
case for a new trial. He was first con-
demned for the murder Of Henry Reasor

Oyerheated Rooms.

The great tendency in winter is to
keep rooms too warm. The founda-
ton of pneumonia, pleurisy, and pull
monary consumption is frequently
laid in over-heated, ill-vcntilatcd
apartments. The inmates become &C.
customed to breathing hot, close air,
the system is toned down and relaxed,
and slight exposure to cold and wet
results in serious illness. The greater
degree Of health is obtained by per-
sons who habitually take outdoor
exercise, and the ripe old age of our
forefathers can be ascribed in a great
measure to the fact that their houses
were open to not only the gentle
breezes Of summer, but to the howl
ing blasts of winter. Log huts con-
structed in its most primitive FASH
ion, in many cases not even "chink.
3D." give free access at all times to
the pure air, and if the cold and
snow did enter, they brought with
them health and long life. A uniform
heat OF seventy degrees is adequate
from a sanitary point Of view in any
weather. If that temperature is not
sufficient to give warmth, it is an in
dication that the person does not take
sufficient exercise, and the cure for it
is more miles than flannel. In the
coolest weather, when the ground is
like stone under feet, when there is
no drip from the caves, and when
snow lies on roofs, rooms should be
ventilated. Pure air should be adj
mitted through open doors and
windows, SO that the oxygen consumed
by fame and by respiration may be
replaced, and cftete and poisonous
matter thrown of by the body thor
oughly driven away.
