A Wave Worth $500.

A party Of ladies and gentlemen from
Baltimore determined to take q bath at
Atlantic City one day recently. They
had heard 80 much about the loss Of
valuables while bathing that they were
in doubt as to how to secure them. In
stead Of checking them with the bath
house proprietor, they gave their rings,
watches and pocket-bOoks to a little rag
ged girl who was sitting on the beach,
and told her not to move from where she
was and she should have q quarter when
they had finished bathing. The child
agreed, and taking the valnables in her
lap sat perfectly quiet ON the sand. An
occasional glance from the bathers as
sured them that their things were safe.
Presently . wave, bigger than it, fellows,
washed far mp the beach, and the little
custodian Of the jewelry was compelled
to hastily scramble q few feet more up
the sand, much to the Amusement Of the
party, who made several jokes upon her
failure to rival the boy who stood upon
the burning deck. Their merYiment
was changed to . very different feeling
when, Z few moments later, they left the
water and received their valuables from
the child A cluster diamond ring,
valued ct $500, was missing. II had
been dropped BY the child when, she wns
compelled 70 keat : hasty retreat from
the waves. Along search failcdto reveal

Child Heroism.

The Lohdon papers record an extraor.
binary exhibition Of harpism by little
girl only three and onc-hah years old.
She and her sister were playing in then
fatter's garden, close to the river Mon.
NOW, at Monmouth. The younger child
was running after the cider when the Int.
ter fell headlong down some steps into
the river, where the water was deeper
than usual. owing to the recent storm.
Seeing her sister carried down the
stream, the younger girl plunged in to
the rescue and seized her by the hat and
hair. She held on, but the stream
swept her sister beneath n bridge, he,
hat and a quantity of hair being left in
the little ones hand. The younger
child then managed to get ashore, and,
running home, gave the alarm. A mum.
Der of persons hurried to the spot just in
time to recue the girl, in shallow water
below the bridge, before the stream cur.
ried her away.

A Cejck In the Neck.

Crick in the neck, stiff neck, or, to
use the technical term, t~orticollis, 10
usually the result Of cold or exposure Of
the affected part to q current of cold air.
The pain is sometimes in the back of the
neck, but more frequently it affects only
one side, the patient being, in the latter
case compelled to hold his head awry in
order to relax his muscles. A patient
suffering from q stiff neck not uncom-
monty presents a somewhat comlcal APP
p~earance, and is often made the subject
Of much ridicule and joking, but for all
that the complaint is q very painful one,
and is sometimes very intractable TO
treatment. A stiff neck in children ID
not uncommonly the aus of . considera-
BILE elevation Of temperature, the fever
lasting three or four days or more.
When the pain OF acute torticollis Is very
great it may be necessary 10 endeavor to
obtain relief by the administration OF a
hypodermic injection Of morphia. Local
applications, however, not uDfrequently
prove successful. Hot lamentations are
very valuable, as, for example, . piece
OF sponeiopiline wrung out Of hot water
and applied either alone or sprinkled
with laudanum, or belladonna Iniment,
or q combination Of the two. Turpentine
often proves useful in these cases. Over
q flannel wrung ont Of hot water . little
~turpentine should be sprinkled and APP
piled till it produces redness, tingling
and smarting. II il well to bear in
mind that as the smarting arises from
the turpentinc goes ON augmcnting for
some time after its removal, the applica-
ton should be kept ON just sufficiently
long to excite . moderate degree OF pain.

A Georgia Romance.

A college romance is told by
the Atlanta Constitution. Many
years ago a young fellow went
to Yale college. The father was
very rich and the youngster lived
in grand style at the university.
Suddenly the old gentleman failed
and had to withdraw his son from
college. The boy, however, felt
the necessity Of an education, and
determined TO have one anyhow.
He, therefore, went to work and
learned a trade as a machinlst.
While he was at his work his old
associates cut him and refused to
have anything to do with him.
The young ladies with whom he
had been a great lavorite failed
to recognize him when they met
him. One day, while going from
his work, he met a wealthy young
lady who had been his friend.
He had his tin dinLer-bucket
over his arm, and supposed she
would cut him as all the rest had
done. She smiled pleasantly, and
addressed dim as "Tom," and in
sisted that he should call and see
her as he had always done. She
said : There is no change in
you ; as far as | am concerned"
The years rolled on. The young
workboy became wealthy, and
owner of a factory in which 1900
men and women we're employed.
The young girl grew to woman.
hood and married. Her husband
borrowed a large sum Of money
from the rich man, and died be-
fore he had paid it, leaving his
family with but little property.
The capitalist sent her, with his
coincidence, a receipted note for
her husbands Indebtedness /: aud
now the son of the millionaire, is
going to marry the daughter Of
the one woman who was faithful
and true to the young work boy
at college.-New York Tribune.

Several of our fair readers
having enqulred Of us the mean
ing of the Poydrus Fund-in
West Baton Rouge Parish, we
insert the following lucid explain
alton given by our talented and
hirsute friend Harry Hyams OF
the Sugar Planter in reply to a
similar enquiry by the Rising
sun1pd Recorder The Poydras
Fund is a donation OF thirty thous-
and dollars made to this parish
some fifty years ago by a ph'lau.
thropic old gentleman named
Julien Poydras. According to
The will Of Mr.. Poydras, the
money was invested in first mort.
gage upon real estate, and the
interest derived therefrom is
divided among the INDECENT girls
Of the parish who may marry du'
ring each year. Previous to the
outbreak of the war, the interest
annually divided among gills OF
that class was about twenty five
hundred dollars, and was intended
as marriage dowrics to begir
house keeping with. At the Close
Of the war, the fund was largel,
decreased by loss in value o
lands upon which mortgages hat
been taken and it will be year
before the original sum Of thirt..
thousand dollars is restored, whel
divisions Of interest will agail
