have had a good long life and happy
one. May I not, therefore, Just give
my simple rules for health in the hope
that some traveller on the up or down
hill of life may look at them and be
benefited by them. | have practiced
them for many years and they have
done me good; they may do good to
others. They are inexpensive and may
be easily abandoned, if they cause any
harm.
l. Keep in the sunlight as much as
possible A plant will not thrive with
out the sunbeam; much less a man.
III. Breathe as much fresh air as your
business will permit. This makes fresh
blood; but it will never be found i'll the
four walls of your building. Beneath
the open sky, just there, and only
there, it comes to you.
Ill Be strictly temperate. You cam
not break organic law, or any other law,
with IMMUNITY.
". Keep the feet always warm and
the head cool. Disease and death be-
gin at the feet more commonly than
we think.
V. Eat white bread when you cam
not get brown bread.
VI If out of order see which of the
above rules you have not observed, then
rub yourself all over with q towel satu
rated with salt water, and well dried and
begin upon the rules again.
VII. Look over on the bright side,
which is the heaven side of life. This
is far better than medicine
These seven simple rules good for the
valid or invalid, if rightly observed,
would save, l apprehend, deal of pain,
prolong life, and 80 far as health goes,
make it worth having.

An Atheist and the Globe.

The famous astronomer, Athanasius
Kircher. having a friend who denied the
existence of a Supreme Being, took the
following method to convince him of
his error, upon his own principles. Ex-
pecting him upon visit, he procured a
very handsome globe of the starry heav-
ems, and placed it in corner of the
room where it could not escape his
friends observation The latter seized
the first occasion to ask whence it came,
and to whom it belonged. Not to me,
said kircher, NOR was it made by any
person, but came here by mere
chance" That" replied his skeptical
friend, lis impossible. You surely jest. F"
Kircher, however, seriously persisting
in his assertion, took occasion to reason
with his friend upon his stheistic prin-
ciples. You will not" said he, be
lieve that this small body originated in
mere chance; and yet YOU would con-
tend that those heavenly bodies OF
which it is only faint and small re-
semblanee, came into existence without
order or design" Pursuing this chain
of reasoning, his friend was at first con-
founded, in the next place convinced.
and ultimately joined in a cordial ac-
acknowledgement of the abs,rrdity Of de-
nyiup the existence of God.

A GALLANT RESCUE.
Magnificent Display of Skill and
Strength I'm the Water.

Ihn hero of the day in St. Louis is a
former Cincinnatian named Peter Mil
Ter. He is Il laboring man, who for
merly worked along the river at Cincin-
natl, and who is employed here ON the
lumber RATS which come up the Missis-
sippi Last Saturday afternoon boy
was playing about one of the RATS at
the foot of Benton street, when he slip
ped and fell into the river. The cur
rent Is swift at Benton street, and the
eddics-dangerous even To the most ex-
perienCed Swimmers--are at that point
strong and treacherOus. The boy was
sucked down Ivy the current, tossed up
again further ont in the stream and
carried away swiftly. There were
thirty or forty men and boys at
work about the raft, but not one
of Them dared go in TO the
rescue of the little fellow III the water.
-Four times he came to the surface, and
when'he went down the fifth time, far
out in the river, and came up no more,
only q lot of bubbles showing where he
had disappeared, Miller, when the boy
fell in, was working mt point about
fifty rods away, and, attracted by the
shouting. came running to the spot.
Whcp he reached the raft the boy was
down the fifth time, but he marked the
bubbles ON the water and plunged in
with roar Of rope" ut the men about
who had feared the venture. swearing
that he would have the body or drown.
He was heavily dressed, but swan like
an otter to the bubbles, and then dived
For Il long time nothing was seen, then,
lower down the river, a mans head up
peared, moving slowly toward the shore.
1t seemed incredible that it should be

and Chen followed the spectacle Of as
gallant a swimming feat as was ever
witnessed. The man was weighed
down by his own heavy cloth

few men dare enter even in swimming
apparel; slut Miller never thought of
dropping his load, and finally, after

skill III the water reached the shore
again. No one thought there was any
life in the boy; but efforts Mt resuscita-
ton were made, as matter of course,
and two hours later animation was re-
stored and the lads life saved. As for
Miller, even after his desperate battle
for life, he did not seem 70 think he
had done anything remarkable, and
came out of the water as he went in,
chiefly full of fine rage at the group of
men Who would stand w and see
child sacked into the eddi, of the Mis-
sissipp:. He seemed to be impressed

Mark Twain on Blue Jaws,

Mr.. Mark Twain's two volumes Of
European travel, entitled THE Tramp
Abroad" contain his estimate of the
blue jay. With his well-known prOcliv-
ity for modesty the author presents this
estimate in the words ola certain Jim"
Baker, a California miner: There's
more to blue jay than any other crea-
ture. He has got more moods and
more different kinds of feeling than any
other creature; and mind you, what
ever a blue jay feels he can put into
language And no mere common
place language, either, but rafting, out
and-out book falkland bristling with
metaphor, too-just bristling! And as
for command of language-why, you
never see a blue jay get stuck for a word,
They Just boil out of him. And another
thing, I've noticed good deal, and
there's no bird, or COW, or anything that
uses as good grammar as blue jay
You may say Il cat uses good grammar
Well, cat does-but you let cat get
excited once; you let cat get to pull
ling fur with another cat on shed,
nights, and you'll hear grammar that
will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant
people think it's the noise which fighting
cats make that is 80 aggTayating but il
amt so, it's the sickcning grammar they
use. Now, I've never heard jay use
bad grammar but very seldom; and
when they do, they are ashamed Us q
human; they shut right down and leave
you may call a jay bird Well, SO
he IL, III a measure-because he's got
feathers on him, and don't belong to no
church, perhaps; but otherwise he is
Just as much human as you be. And
I'll tell YOU for why. A Jays gifts and
instincts and feeling and interests cover
the whole ground A jay hasn't got any
more principle than congressman. A
jay will lie, jay will steal, q jay will
deceive, jay will betray; and four
times out of five a jay will go back Oh
his solemnist promise. The sacrcdness
of an obligation is thing which you
can't cram into no blue-jay's head
Now, on top of all this, there's another
thing; jay can oJttswcar any gentle
man in the mines. You think a cat can
swear. Well, a cat can; but you give
blue jay subject that calls for his reS-
erye powers, and where is your cat
Don't talk to mel know too much
about this thing. And there's yet an
other thing; in the one little particular
of scolding just good, clean out-and-
out scolding-a blue jay can lay over
anything, human or divine Yes, sir,
jay is everything that man is 4 jay
can cry, jay can laugh, jay can feel
shame, jaw can reason and plan and
discuss, Jay likes gossip and scandal,
a Jay has got a sense of humor, jay
knows when he is an ass just AZ well
as you do-maybe better. If jay amt
human, he'd better take in lfs sign.
that's all
