Getting Even With a Practical Joker.

Revenge is sweet. The other night
young Rundlett, who had been the vi tim
of several practical jokes perpetrat-
ed by Mr.. Mongrel, entered the latter s
room at their boarding house Rundlett
was evidently intoxicated, but there was
no ugliness about him. His first proceed
ing was to put his plug hat on chair. In
another moment he had unconsciously
sat upon that hat. Then he addressed
Mr.. Mongrel, and desired him to sit on the
mantel shelf and talk about dog fights.
Mr.. Mongrel declined, and Rundlett
urged the matter. Finally the former
said: "Rundlett, you've been drinking"
SPY Zhove-gesh yer right. Oh, Eat
man should be such a fool ash to-put
n enemy into his mouth to-steal way
his brains" Then Mr.. Mongrel advised
hisyoung friend to go to bed but the lat
terdeclared that he would sit up until Mr..
Mongrel complied with his request in
regard to dog fights. After laboring
in vain to persuade the young man to
retire, Mr. Mongrel decided to 90 and
get some OF the boys to come and take
him to his room. He went to the
sitting room and told four of them, who
were playing cards there, that Rundlett
was drunk and raising more trouble in
his room than a hornet would in an
anti-swearing club. The boys saw
chance for fun, and at once threw down
their cards and fastened to Mr.. Mon
grePs apartment. Meanwhile great
change had come over Randlett. Toe
drunken leer had faded from his face.
His gait became steady, and he had
been to his room, got a new hat and
returned. When the boys entered they
found as sober man as ever lived, and
one who Indignantly denied the charge
OF being drunk, and showed his UNI
crushed hat to disprove the story that
he sat upon it. Mr.. Mongrel was dumb
founded, and the boys were raving
mad at what they considered Mongrels
lying, and as they had come there for
fun they meant to have it. So they put
a pillow-case over Mr.. Mongrers head
and ran him down three flights of stairs
to the cellar, where they left him to
find his way back if he could And
Rundlett went and tore his bed all to
pieces by his squirming as he lay on it,
laughing. Revenge is saccharine.-

To Cure Fits Of Sneezing.

A correspondent of the British Nedi-
cal Journal says: During the recent
rapid changes of temperature I caught
severe cold in my head, accompanied
by almost incessant sneezing. NV un-
fortunate nose gave me no rest. The
slightest impact of cold air, or passing
from the outside air into warm ROOM
equally brought on fit of sneezing.
In vain l snuffed camphor and pulsa-
tilla; the light catarrh still triumphed
over me. At length 1 resolved to see
what the maintenance of uniform tenn
perature would do toward diminishing
the irritability of my Schneiderian mem
brane, and accordingly 1 plugged nv
nostrils with cotton wool. The effect
was instantaneous; I sneezed no more.
Again and again tested the efficacy of
this simple remedy, always with the
same result. However near was to a
sneeze, the introduction of the pledpets
stopped it at once. Nor was there anv
Inconvenience from their presence,
making them sufficiently firm not to
tickle, and yet leaving them sufficiently
loose to easily breathe through. This
is really worth knowing. for fncessant
sneezing is among the greatest of small
er ills, and it seems only rational con-
clusion to hope that this simple plan
may furnish the most efficient remedy
against one of the most distressing symp.
toms of hay fever.

Family Hotels.

The fondness of Americans for living
at hotels has often been commented on
by Europeans, particularly by English
men, who rarely stay at hotel except
when travelling and who almost never
make it a home. While our national
habit, as it has been called, has been
greatly exaggerated, there is no doubt
that we are more addicted than any Old
World people to hotel life, owing to
various conditions which do not exist
abroad. Our hotel life is better ordered
than it used to be. Within two or three
years new kind of hotel, known as the
private family hotel, has sprung up in
this city. and has proved so popular that
it is certain to multiply. Hotels of this
stamp are new to the country and as un-
IKE our great teeming caravansaries as
they well can be and retain the same
name. They receive no transient people;
their rooms are divided into suites, usual
~ rented by the year, and often furnished
bv the occupant. There is a regular
restaurant, at which the patrons take
their meals (each family, or set. at
small table, always reserved), paying a
liked price, generally fourteen dollars a
week for each person. The suites for
one or two commonly consist of a par
lor, or sitting-room. bed-chamber and
bathroom; but they are larger, of
course, when intended for a family.
Most OF the patrons are married couples
who have no children, or whose chill
dren have grown up or are awav at
school, though some families with small
children like these hotels as well as
private houses, and say they have the
same advantages. There are at present
six or seven family hotels here, all in or
near Fifth Avenue, and thew are ca
much approved that they are continually
full, except, of course, in summer, when
their renters are out of town. Thew
seem destined to become a favorite
mode OF living. They are not cheap:
nothing good or desirable ever is cheap.
but they are not very dear, as these
things go. They are rather less ex-
penslve than the great hotels would be.
and have far more comfort for ANYBODY
who cares for quiet. Persons that have
tried housekeeping year after year have
adopted the family hotel and prefer the
change. There are so many difficulties
In the way of home-making in this citv.
notwithstanding that they are materi.
ally less than they have been, that the
new sort OF hotel may be regarded as
one OF the repeated essays toward inn
provement. The chief trouble here is

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Rev. Mortimer T. Jeffries, of
West Chester, Pa, has been elected to
the American Church at Dresden, Ger
many.
The boys of the Boston public
schools are instructed in military drill,
and annually have a street parade, with
q review by the Mayor.
A Methodist Ecumenical Council is
in prospect for August, 1881, in the city
of London, the United States to be rep
resented by 200 delegates.
MIR. Moody has become so deeply
interested in the work OF educating the
Indian women of Indian Territory that
he has offered to provide for the free edu-
cation of ten or twelve of them at the
new seminary at Northfield, Mass.
"A girl was subject to ostracism in
the hi Oh school at Fitchburg, Mass, be-

When the eloquent Bishop Simp-

tered the ministry he was, from his
bashfulness, almost unable to speak;
but he sought to forget himself, to be

The Rev. James White, President
of the Seventh Day Adventists, has re-
signed on account of age. He congrat-
ulates the Church on its progress, but
incidentally remarks that he has worn
himself out for only twelve dollars a
week in money, though he expects
greater reward hereafter.
New York City has twenty-six

What is Gained by Crossing Seeds.

~ Is common practice with horti-
cuiturists to obtain seeds from another
place having very different soil, SO as
10 avoid raising plants for long sue
cesslon OF generations under the same
conditions; but with all the species
winch freely inter-eross by the aid of
insects or the wind, it would be an in
comparably better plan to obtain seeds
OF the required variety, which had been
raised Tor some generations under as
ulHerenf conditions as possible, and sow
them in alternate rows with seeds ma
tured in the old garden. The two stocks
would then inter-cross with a thorough
Diending OF their whole organizations,
and with no loss of purity to the variety:
and this would yield far more favorable
results than mere exchange of seeds.

CREMATION AND CREMAToRIEs.

But tho Washington CremaIury will
not be long without extensive competi-

being discussed il has become less re-

ents are proving their sincerity by OK
ample.
Asthc prejudice continues to die away,
facilities Tor thus disp0slug OF bodies will
Increase, and Improvements IN crema'
torres will still further relieve obicc-
tons. II requires thirly-siN hours to
heat the crcmatory at Washington aud
it burns so much fuel rs to make It

that crematory in the vicinity

designs building will command large
business. IL will hc nearer to the city
than Greenwood or any Of the other
