On Which Side ,

A correspondent writes to the Phila-
delphia Times for an answer TO that
question which has long puzzled the
beaux-on which side should a gentle
man ride when escorting lady on horse
back? The editor says: "This is Il
point on which usage is not sharply de-
fined. 1t was formerly the general Gus
tom for the man to ride on the off side of
the lady for the reason that he could
thus bring his horse much closer to hers
without Inconvenience to her, and would
avoid the danger of entangling his stirrup

less voluminous skirts now worn make
this last consideration of less importance.
must still keep II respectful distance,
there Is II very strong argument in favor
of this position, that he has his right
hand toward her, disengaged and ready
to aid her i'll case of accident, to catch
her bride, or herself should she fall or
her saddle girth slip. And this is not
all. 1t is probable that the custom of
riding on the lady's right really arose
from the fact that in England you take
the left of the road, and the man should
always be next the passers-by. But with
us the law of the road is reversed, and
the man should therefore ride upon the
near side, that he may he between his
companion and those whom they may
meet. The practical arrangements seem
thus in favor of the near side, and it will

His Uncle's Draft.

An old tradesman in a country town
sends his nephew Alfred to study law at
Paris. He gives him an old code ammo
tated by leading member Of the village
har, and says to his young relative, 81
will pay You visit in March, and, if
am pleased with your progress, l will
give you such tip as will make glad
your heart, and cause your face to shine. !"
In March the old gentleman calls on
his nephew.
"Well, Alfred hard at work, see.
Made good progress with your code !?
Pretty well through it, expect, 10y this
time.
Eyes, respected sir, my life has been
one demnition grind. Your venerable
friends marginal notes found of great
service to me while laboring at the code. p"
Good boy, excellent young man.
You got my draft, of course ? 1t is II
pleasure to me to reflect that my bounty
was not ill-bestowed
Your draft, uncle? No; 1 never re-
ceived it"
"Gimme that CODE"
The old man opens the old book and
shows his stupefied nephew draft for
1900 francs dated five months before,
which has all the time been reposing be-
tween the first two leaves of the code.

Value Of a Doctors Services.

l was called ut midnight TO visit IL gen
tleman who has Just returned from late
dinner, where he has succeeded by hasty
eating Ill lodging large tish-bone III his
throat / provided myself with IN
emetic, II pair of psophagus forceps and
other paraphernalia designed to give him
relief, and hulriedly repaired to his
room. | found him pacing up and down
the floor with look of intense distress
and anxiety, occasionally running his
fingers down his throat and gagging. He
told me in tones of despair that he
thought it was all up with him, but
begged me, if the least glimmer of hope
remained, to proceed mt once III my eff
forts to relieve him. He eXtravagantly
declared, III the generosity of spirit begot
by the vividness of his fears, that he
would give 81, 900, 600 TO have that fish
bone removed. | assured him that such
cases were frequent, and ordinarily not
attended with much danger, before pro-
ceeding to carry out measures for
relief. His fears underwent some
diminution on the strength of this,
and he then declared that $4,000
would no more than repay the skill and
art required to eXtricate the unwelcome
Intruder. l smiled and proceeded to in
troduce the forceps, but after several at
tempts failed to grasp the bone. His
fears again induced him to mention "a
fabulous sum rs the need of the service
that would expel the object of his terrors.
l then gave him the einetic, its depress.
ing effect causing his generosity &c rise
again, barometric-like, to a very high
pressure. In little while the emetic
disburdened him OF the greater part of
his dinner, and with II up came the fish
bone. He gave sigh and look of relief,
and, solImnly looking toward me, said,
" l. octor, l wouldn't have that thing in
My throat again for So F." My fee
eventually resolved itself into the "val-
liable experience that the occasion af-
foried me.-NeU York Medicai Record.

Ta Cure Fits of Sneezing.

A correspondent of the British Modi-
cal Jou,aat says "During the recent
rapid changes of temperature l caught a
severe cold in my head, accompanied by
almost-incessant sneezing. My unfort-
innate nose gave me no rest. The slight
est impact of cold air, on passing from
the outside air into warm room, equally
brought on fit of sneezing. In VAN L
snufled camphor and pulsatilla ; the light
catalTh still tiumphed over me. At
length / resolved to see what the MAIN
tenance of uniform temperature would
do toward diminishing the irritability OF
my Schneiderian membrane, and ac-
cordingly | plugged my nostrils with
cotton wool. The affect was instantane-
Gus; L sneezed no more. Again and
again l tested the efficacy of this simple
always with the same result,
However near | was TO sneeze, the III
PRODUCTION of the pledgets stopped 1t at
once. Nor was there any Inconvenience
from their presence, making them sufii-
GENTLY firm not to tickle, and yet leaving
them sufficiently loose to easily breathe
through" This is really worth know
ing, for incessant sneezing is among the
greatest of smaller ills, and it seems only
q rational conclusion to hope that this
simple plan may furnish the most eff
cient remedy against one of the most dis
'ressing symptoms of hay fever.

Only Case OH Record.

One of the mules i'll the Big Evans is
going lame on three legs to-day, and
thereby hangs brief but marvellous
tale. On last Thursday afternoon this
mule in question was not working, and
amused itself romping about the corral.
There was post, containing number
of nails partly driven, within the con-
fines of the inclosure, and the mule dis
covered that fact. Backing up within
easy reaching distance, it began kicking
the nails home. When the head of a
nail projected but short distance it
would tap it gently with its iron-bound
hoof, and drive it just as carpenter
with good hammer would nail.
When nail was only half driven then
it would require heavier blow, but the
mule apparently understood perfectly
the weight to be applied to the nail.
Something like fifty of sixty nails We're
driven in this manner, and then u rough
old twenty-penny was encountered. Two
on three fair blows were administered
without any perceptible results, and
then the mule fairly trembled with sub
dued rage and anger. Stepping little
further away from the post, it laid back
its ears, doubled up its back, and fired
away with both ends. The blow was Z
terrific one, and the post was broken OF
at the ground. In the Kick, though, tn
mule had i'll some manner outione its,.li
and sprained the tendhns Of the left hin
leg seriously, and u .ow goes lame, 1t

The Deacon Wins on the HOmestretch

church members belonging to the society

one thing, it, when L do come, find
only two or three of you here, L shall

Pastor, with reproof in his tone and
a self-satisfied twinkle in his eye, " Have

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

To KEEP mucilage fresh and prevent
the formation of mold, drop into the bot.
the n few crystals of thymol, which is q
strong and harmless antiseptic.
To POLISH wood, take n piece of pun
ice-stone and water. and pass repeatedly
over the work until the rising of the
grain is cut down. Then take powdered
tripoli and boiled linseed oil, and polish
the wood to n bright surface.
AN exchange says /: "Do not throw
away your ribbons because they are
soiled. Wash them in suds made of fine
toilet soap and cold water, squeezing
them quickly through. Then iron them
between two cloths with an iron not too
hot"
ANY one can make better eau-de-
cologne than that which is usually
bought by thoroughly dissolving a fluid
drachm of the oils of bergamot, orange
and rosemary, each with half IA drachm
of neroli and IA pint of rectitied spirits. 1t
is also prepared by simply mixing with
one pint of rectified spirits two fluid
drachms each of the oils OF bergamot and
lemon, one of the oil of orange, and half
as much of that of rosemary, together
with three-quarters of a drachm of neroh
and four drops each of the essences of
ambergris and musk. If this is subse-
quently distilled it makes what may he
called IA perfect cologne, but it becomes
exceedingly fine by being kept tightly
stopped for two on three months to ripen
and mellow before use.
IT is not an easy thing to wash win
dows SO that they will look clear and
well polished, and, if soap-suds are used,
1t is quite impossible to do it. The old /
fashioned way of taking out all the win
dows, and washing them in soap-suds, /
and setting them aside to dry, after the
suds have been rinsed off, is, to he sure,
the easiest way of cleaning them, but it
also Is the worst way to make them look
clear and bright First brush them oil
well with Il sponge or brush that comes
for the purpose, and then wrap a bit of
cloth about a sharp-pointed stick, and
wipe out the dust that adheres to the
corners, then take some weak tea, boil
