Peletiah dropped into the nearest
chair. The girl who shrieked and trem-
bled at q mouse voluntarily exposed
herself to q loathsome and dangerous
disease! disease beside which wild
beasts and savages took lower rank!
Peletiah was Inundated now into the
dust. But what were his further senti-
ments when, two days after, he re-
ceived brief letter from Eliza Jane
commanding him to send her no more
letters, lest she should catch smallpox,
and intimating in good set terms that
he had no business to expose his life
thus, when he was engaged to marry
her.
Peletiah was disguised.
This, indeed, was cowardice; but his
carnal heart gave little jump of relief
at the prospect in store.
He nursed Harry, with Lou. Grants
aid, through long weeks of danger and
recovery; neither of them took the dis
ease, and when, about Christmas-time,
he figured as officiating clergyman at
Lou. Grants and Harry's wedding, his
smiles were not decreased by the
knowledge that Eliza Jane had already
married another man.
In due time Peletiah found his better
hall, and went happily to Africa, where
he lives and labors yet, and is both
loved and respected. ....
And his wife finds him singularly pa
tient with the little whims and weak
nesses common to her, as to all women;
for he has found out, once for all, that
woman is not necessarily a coward OF
fool because she is afraid of a mouse.

A Small Eater.

YOUNG gentlemen "paying address

of "small brother to deal with at the
same time. The Rockland IN. w.
Courier relates one aggravated case:
1t was Sunday afternoon, and young
Mr.. Staylaight had stopped until they
were forced to ask him to take supper.
The best china and the extra pieces of
silver graccd the table, while one OF
the incest napkins was placed by young
Mr.. Staylaight's plate, for the family
desired to create all the impression pos
sible upon his susceptible mind. His
young lady was conducting herself
with great credit, and the young man
was more than ever in love with her,
when the mother said, passing the cake
for the second time:
Mr.. StaylaightP"
"No, thank you," said the young
man, in his politest tone, mot any
more"
"Oh, do have Just one MORE" urged
the mother, smiling sweetly; "you
haven't eaten hardly anything"
The younger brother, who sat OPP
posite, and who had been instructed,
much to his disgust, not to ask twice
for that cake, saw his opportunity, and
snOrted out with great malevolence:
"Huh! l shouldn't think he had!
He's eaten four hunks O. tongue, three
biscuits, two plate O. sauce, two o.
them tarts, an both kinds o. cake
an, mother, Sis keeps kickin' me un.

Facts About Forests.

AN important paper in ''Polybibion"
on this subject gives the results of Oh
scrvations made during the last six
years under trees and not far from the
edge of forest, and also in the plain
and far from all trees. First, forests
increase the quantity of meteoric wa
tiers which fall on the ground, and thus
favor the growth of springs and of un-
derground waters. Second, in a for
est region the ground receives as much
trees than the uncovered ground of re-
gi0ns with little or no wood. Third,
the cover of the trees of forest dimin-
ishes to large degree the evaporation
of the water received by the ground,
and thus contributes to the mainte-
nance of the moisture of the latter, and
to the regularity of the flow of the
water sources. Fourth, the tempera-
ture in a forest is much less unequal
than in the open, although, on the
whole, it may be little lower; but the
minima are there constantly higher and
the maxima lower than in regions not
covered with wood. These observa-
tions have been made in the neighbour
hood of Nancy, and by the pupils of
the School of Forestry of that city, un-
der the direction of M. Matthew, SUBJ
director of the school. On the other
hand, M. Fautrat, when Sub-Inspector
of Forests at Senlis. made during four
years, but on q different method, OBJ
servations on forestial meteorology
which fully and completely corroborate
in certain respects those of M. Ma
thieu The laws which seem to follow
from the figures given by NJ. Fautrat,
rs well as an inspection of the curves
which graphically represent them, are
as follows: First, it rains more abun-
dainty, under identical circumstances.
over forests than over non-wooded
ground. and most abundantly over for
ests with trees in a green condition.
Second, the degree of saturation of the
air by moisture is greater above forests
than over non-wooded grounds, and
much greater over masses of pinus syl-
vestri than over masses of leaved spe-
cics. Third, the LEAKAGE and branches
of leafod trees intercept one-third, and
those of the resinous trees the half of
the rain water, which afterward re.
turns to the atmosphere by evapora-
ton. On the other hand, these same
leaves and branches restrain the evap-
Grafton of the water which reaches the
ground, and that evaporation is nearly
four times less under mass of leafcd
forest than in the open, and two and
one-third times only under mass of
pines. Fourth, the laws of the change
of temperature out of and under wood
are similar to those which result from
the observations of M. Matthew. The
general conclusions seem to be that
forests regulate the function of water.

Money aud Marriage in laris.

The place given to money in Partisan
marriages tells heavily upon the poor,
especially upon those who ore obliged
to wear the livery of responsibility.
The cost of service in the churches
seems skillfully planned in the manner
best suited to goal to expense not only
vanity, but self-respect also. Custom,
too, makes burdensome levies on the
purse. There must be carriages to the
Mayors Office and to church; the bride
must have her outfit, and there must
be an entertainment. remember the
marriage of the daughter of an officer in
the French army. He was poor as
church mouse, and never was quite
sure that his wife would succeed in
making his pay last the month. A.
little hunchback met the daughter at a
ball and fell in love with her. He was
worth 5000 year. She saw his spine
in his land (where it was as straight as
an arrow and let him know ut once

Chest Development and Consumption.

IT is stated "that during the last
twenty-five years not single singer
has died of consumption at St. Peters
burg, although this disease has out
stripped all others and now holds the
first place among the causes of death in
the Russian capital" From this and
other facts DR.. Vasilief draws an infer
ence in favor of the exercise involved
in singing, as a preventive measure
against consumption. There would
seem to be room for question as to the
relation of cause and effect. 1t may
either happen that singers are not con-
sumptive because they can use their
chest and throat freely, or that con-
sumptive persons are not singers be-
cause the weakness which precedes dis
ease incapacitates the chest and throat
for exertion. Both of these hypothesis
are true up to a certain point, but
neither holds good in all cases. A very
little observation will suffice to show
that good singing voice may coexist
with weak or diseased chest, whereas
the perfectly healthy may be unable to
sing.
It was some forty years ago COM
mon practice TO give cOnsumptive pa
tients a specially arranged tube to
breathe through with the view of excr-
cising the chest. We venture the hope
the experiment will not be repeated.
Chest development can only be accom-
plished in manner consistent with
health during the growing state of
childhood, and then the most natural
and convenient methods of exercise are
the best. Later on in life great mis-
chief may be done by unduly straining
the muscles of the thorax and those Of
the throat, besides the peril of injuring
the smaller tubes and air vessels of the
lungs by violent exertion, for which the
organs Of respiration and voice are not
adapted because they have not been
early trained. Lancet.

In the Government Of Volhynia, Rus
sla, justice appears to be administered
after very peculiar fashion. The wife
OF wcll-to-do peasant addressed her
self to the court of the district with
complaint against her husband, charg-
ing him with beating and torturing her,
and with keeping her in the cold with
out food until she had nearly died Of
starvation. He had bound her stark
naked to post in the street, and re-
qucsted the passers-by to strike her,
which he did himself each time they re-
fused to do SO. The brute had even
fastened her down to the ground, and
in such position had hcaped stones
and heavy weights upon her body until
one of her arms had been broken.
When the wife's accusation was
brought before the tribunal the man
took fright and did not appear to an
swer the charge; but neither his alb
sence nor contempt of court prevented
the learned Judges from coming to an
immediate decision. The wife-beater
was found mot guilty." on plea that
husband has the perfect right to beat
his wife if he 80 chooses, and it cannot
be permitted to q wife to ignore the
authority of her husband. On the fol-
lowing day the husband, emboldened
through the generous acquittal of his
peers, turned the tables on his better
half by bringing counter complaint
against her before the same court,
which promptly declared against the
unfortunate woman. and by it's saluta-
~ judgment she was actually logged
publicly there and then on the spot in
<he most shameful manner.

King Habit.

Or all the kings of the earth, there 10
not one who rules so many people as
King Habit. Almost every man, woman
and child obeys him; both the good and
the bad. the wise and the foolish. 1t is
strange that each person creates this
King Habit for himself first, and then
bows before him. And this is the way
in which King Habit is created. A man
does something or other to day, without
thinking much about it; for instance,
he plays with his watch-chain while he
is talking to a friend; few days after
ward he meets another friend, and as
he talks to him, again his fingers get to
the same place, while he is thinking of
something to say; next day he is chat
ting with another friend, and again he
witches and twirls his chain, and after
a little while he can hardly get word
out unless he is fidgeting with his watch
chain. He has by degrees made
King Habit for himself, which he may
have great trouble in driving from his
throne.
There was once a member OF Parlia-
mcnt who had got into habit of always
putting his hand under his coat and
pulling at the strings at the back of his
waistcoat while he was speaking. A
rival who had noticed this trick, one
day when the other was going to make
great speech, managed to cut the
strings OFF. 1t is said that the poor man
got up, began his speech, put his
hands to pull the waistcoat strings,
found they were gone, lost the thread
of his argument-began again, coughed,
stammcred, stuck. and at last sat down,
covered with confusion. King Habit
was too strong for him. He had got
into the way of pulling his waistcOat
strings when he spoke, and without
them he could not get on. This was
only a silly habit, but habits that are
good and habits that are bad are formed
in the same way, and rule over us in
like manner; therefore we ought to
take care what kind of kings we arc
setting upon the. throne Christian
