awfully at this hy-but, look now." Raising
his hand, he said, gently, "Go away, fly, 60

To PREVENT LocK.JAw.-Lock; jaw is one
of the most terrible diseases to which mortals
are exposed. A California exchange asserts
that no one need be in danger ofsuch an attack
from wounds caused by rusty iron. The worst
case of infamed wounds may be cured by
smoking the injured part with burning wool
or woolen cloth. Anything that produces
safety from such fatal disease is worth re-
cording.

FARM DoGs.-About the best dog law we
are aware of, is now in force in Kent Coun-
ty, Maryland, where all dogs over six months
have an annual tax of 81 each imposed on
the males, and S. on the females. To pre-
vent evasion of the law, it provides that every
tax paying dog shall wear stamped metal
tag, and a premium Of so cents is given for
the carcass of every dog brought in without
the tag. If the dog is not valuable enough
for the owner to pay the tax, of, goes his head;
for there are lots of boys, and men, too, on
the alert to earn the premium. !fthe farmer
has good dog, he is willing to pay a fair
price to secure his protection, and if the dog
is sheep killer, he is seldom protected by the
tax being paid so the law works we'll both ways.

Strange Freak of q Lunatic.

Melville Peirce of Wellheet, Mass,
lunatic who has unsuccessfully at
tempted to kill himself by shooting,
and who disappeared last September,
has just been discovered in the Metho-
dist church organ. The organist seeing
a man on top of the organ, and sup
posing him to be a tramp, summoned
assistance, when Peirce was routed out.
His hair had grown so long that it
rested on his shoulders, and his face
was covered with beard, which gave
him wild look. An examination re-
vealed that Peirce had been living in
the church for some time, that he had
bed on top. of the organ, and that he
had also occupied the attic. A tub of
butter, that some two weeks since was
stolen from the store of Newcemb,
Young 81 Co., was found where Peirce
had concealed it, portion of which he
had used. He had, also, lot of canned

Prostitution of the Mails--How Some
Folks Lose Their Money.

The worst and most eminent form of
swindling is that of the "bucketn shops,
and of such firms as Lawrence g. Co.
Baxter & Co., II Wall street; Taylor
& Co.; B. Frank Moore & Son, 319
Broadway; Williamson & Co., 500
Broadway; j. Duffy & Co., AZ Nassau
street; jackson & Co., 80 Nassau st.,
and others. These bucket-shOp "bank-
ers" offer to invest sums all the way
from SIS upward. They send circulars
stating that certain stocks are "boom-
ing" and can be bought and sold in a
few days at enormous profit. When a
customer sends SIS or so they write /:
ave have bought D. L. & W. Tor
whatever the stock may beg at 81 for
you, the profit on which now amounts
to S75 but as the pool will not sell I'M
der 40, we must have an immediate re-
mittance of $ll2.5O, and will send you,
next week, full remittance covering
your profits" If this letter does not
bring the money, another letter, and
finally the telegraph is tried. This is
generally successful. The poor, deluded
fellow sees the prospect of $500 or
81 900 profits disappearing unless he
sends $112.5O. He hasn't got it, but
borrows it, sends it to the fraudulent
''hOuse," and in few days gets reply
this is literal sample:
| DEAR SIR: The sale we made has
terminated disastrOusly, and the con-
tract has expired without result. We
regret this as much as you can. Had
you remitted in time, this would not
have occurred. Hoping for better results
next time, and awaiting your further
orders, we are, etc., BAXTER & Co.
Of these fraudulent "bankers," or
"brOkers," or "agents," there are, or
were, thirty-three in this city, the
amount of whose business may be esti-
mated from the fact that together they
receive 800 letters weekly, of which2,
600 are registered. and known to contain
remittances all the way from IS to $500
and morei And they are swindles, pure
and simple, and the parties engaging in
them are swindlers.
Congress has done great public SER
vice in calling for this report, and our
post Office authorities-especial Gen.
Key and Postmaster James, of this city
have done valuable service in putting
down these swindlers, so far as it can
be done by Withdrawing from them the
facilities of the mails. But there is
something else remaining to be done

The Dear Aged One in the Home.

/ beg of you, father or mother, not to
push her back into the darkest corner
of the room, or crowd her down into
the lowest corner of your heart, but
bring her out into the sunlight of your
heart and home. Do not lead her to
think she is of no more use in the
world, but think of some little, easy
work, and get her interested in it, by
telling her what a help it will be to
have it done, and, ten chances to one,
she will want to try it, and by little
patience and cheerfulness on your part,
she will be able to accomplish the task.
The "sand bars" which are 50 much
used over the windows, and which ex-
clude such an amount of cold from our
dwellings, are very pretty covered
over with a knitted strip of red wooden
yarn. Grandma can knit those, be-
cause they are just plain knitting, back
and forth. When as long as the bar,
bind off, and sew together at the sides
and one end, slip the bar into it, and
close up at the other. What help
and how we ought to prize them, for it
may be the last work which her poor,
tired fingers may do in this world
Speak gently to her, and bear with all
her little peculiarities. 1t will not do
you any harm if she does tell ysu OF
her way of doing things, and if they are
not as your ways, but bear with hel

When she seems cut of patience, or has
a eft of the blues," interest her in
some little story or sing some song tG
her which you know she loves, and sc
lift her out of the sorrowful mood into
which she has fallen. By so doing you

she will not go away from this world
