ATTEMPTED SUIC1DE.-On Friday even
ing last, Mrs George Lowater made de
liberate attempt to put an end to her exist
ence by poison. Fortunately or unfortu-
nately the would be suicide was discovered
ere the fatal drug had time to perform its
deadly work, and by the prompt efforts of
the physicians, Drs. Hulburd and Ray,
who were hastily summoned, the poison
was taken from the system with the aid of
antidotes. Mrs. Lowater has of late been
subject to fits of dependency, occasioned
probably by private family troubles prom
inent among which, is the misfortune of
total blindness which has lately afflicted
her husband. On Friday evening she re-
tired to her room a short time before her
husband, who on entering detected the
smell of laudanum and his attempts to
arouse her proving fruitless, he suspected
that all was not right and gave the alarm.
At first it was feared that death would re.
suit. but IS medical assistance was prompt
ly obtained, the misguided woman's life
was spared. She declared herself tired of
living and expressed regret that the poison
had not done its work, declaring that she
had nothing to live for and wanted to
die." Of course there are all sorts of re.
ports as to the causes which led to the rash
act but it will be well to turn deaf ear to
all such rumors and let the unfortunate af-
fair rest, as to keep it alive will do no good
whatever and may only lead to further
trouble. If Mrs. Lowater regrets her folly
and repents the terrible crime she has to all
intents committed. and it would seem as if
sheImust. far be it from US to put a straw in
her path, she can live down Nc unfortu-
nate and well nigh fatal error and let the
dead past bury its dead.
SoIREE AND FAIR-On Tuesday evening
a large number of our citizens assembled
at the new Methodist church, the occasion
being fair and festival, given by the la
dies Of the congregation, the object being
to procure funds with which to complete
their house of worship. The progress
made by the society in misunderstanding has
been very gratifying, the lots on which the
! building stands, as well as the edifce itself,

Seeding Land to Grass.

A Massachusetts correspondent of tho
Country Gentleman says: Probably nine
tenths Of the farmers of the United States
SOW all their grass seed in the spring, and
usually can give no better reason than that
they have always done so, and their fathers
befo.e them. Many Of them do not know
that any other reason will ans wer for seed
ing. On the majority of farms. in this lat
itude, August and September are better
than spring. as good crop Of hay may be
obtained the following season, whether the
grass seed be sown alone, or with wheat and
rye: have sown grass seed with wheat in
early September, on land not subject to
heaving, and taken good crop Of each the
following season. Glover seed will neces-
sarily have to be sown in spring, as the
young plants are liable to winter kill.
Where the frost heaves the ground in win
ter or spring, after SO ding with or without
grain, it pays to roll the whole fold with u
heavy roller, first sowing the clover seed.
If the: plants stand Arm and we'll, the
smoothing harrow may b. substituted for
the roller. The roller, or harrow, should
be used as early in spring as the surface
becomes dry enough to crumble.

DOH tho caps Hence it. seems that the
removal OF the hat among the, European
peoples, often reduced among ourselves to
touching the hut, is o remnant Of that pro-

Not less interesting is the explanation Of
the origin of shaking hands. From kissing
as natural sign of affection, TO kissing the
hand as q compliment, the transition is
easy and requires no further explanation;
for stimulation of affection, no less than
submission, is an essential part of propiti-
airy ceremony. "If, Of two persons, each
wishes to make obeisance to. the other by
kissing his hand, and zach out of compli-
ment refuses to have his own hand kissed,
what will happen? just as when leaving
room each OF two persons, proposing to
give each other precedence, will refuse to
60 first, and there will result at the door
way some conflict of movements preventing
either from advancing; SO, if each Of two
tries to kiss the others hand and refuses to
have his own kissed, there will result q
raising Of the hand of each by the other to-
ward his own lips; and by the other, a
drawing of it down again; and so on alter
nately. Clearly the difference between the
simple squeeze, to which this salute Is now
often abridged, and the old-fashioned
hearty shake xcseds the difference be-
tween the hearty shake and the movement
that would result from the effort of each to
kiss the hand of the other
Kissing, we have said, is a natural ex-
preston Of affection; and it is curious to
note the analogous manifestations among
animals and some of the lower tribes Of

A Man With a Bad Record.

Several years ago John Marchbank of
Lansingburg. taking with him about 81 900
in bank drifts, left home TO visit the old
country. Soon afterward he was found in
the woods near Lake. Champlain insane,
and with only $50 left. He was taken to
Lansingburg and cared for by relatives.
One morning he was missing and shortly
afterrard big body was found in tho Hnd-
son: At the inquest Henry Marchbank,
nephew of the deceased, living in New
jersey, testified that he visited New York
with his uncle and had the drafts cashed,
giving his relative the money. Young
Marchbauk said that his uncle abandoned
the design Of going to Europe. and was put

Henry Narchmnk has Just been; arrested
at Bellville, N. j., on the charge of stealing

It is thought that the loss of the money
made John Harchbank insane.

Don't Use Big Words.

1r promrlgating your esoteric cogita-
tons, or articulating superficial sentiment
talities and philosophical or psychological
observations, beware of platitudinious pom
derosity. Let your conversation possess a
clarified conciseness. c0mpacted compre-
hensibleness, coalescent consistency and a
concatenated cogency. Eschew, all con.
.glomerations of datulent garrulity, jejune
babblement and asinine affectatioLs. Let
your extemporaneous descantings and un-
premeditated expatiations have intelligibili-
ty and veracious vivacity, without rhodo-
montade or thrasonical bombast. Sedu-
lousy avoid all pc syllable profandlty,
ventriloquial qerbositv and vaniloquent
vapidity. Shun double entendres, prarient
,jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obscur-
ant or apparent. In other words talk
plainly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully,
purely. And don't use big words:

my hand and wrist were so badly swollen and
painful that felt rs though one of Mr.. Hatch's
coal teams had run over me. Mr.. Rheumatism
has been a constant visitor Of mine for several
years; he always swells and put on great many
airs, making himself at home, devourng my SUBJ
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket.
Last winter he came and stayed two months. |
then decided that the next time he came would
change lis diet. was somewhat at q loss what
to feed him with, but finally concluded to. give
him three square meals a day Of ST. JACOBS OIt-

gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day: says he cannot
stop any longer, he has pressing business else

4 Few Fashion Notes.

Feather headdresses are adopted by FASH
ionable matrons.
Red plush bonnets adorned with flaming
red feathers, held by large, old-fashioned
paste bucklers, are the choice Of few &C.
centric ladies.
Gloves, no matter how long, TINT button
up the ar II are no longer considered in best
style. Two or three buttons ut the wrist are
only allowable. The remainder Of the
glove is in q solid piece fitting closely over
the arm.
Under Jackets made of what is called
chamois leather are now very much worn
by ladies'. They are mlde to fit tightly TO
the body SO as to be worn beneath the Dress
The sleeves ore long, and the body extends
short distance below the waist. They are
said TO be very comfortable TO the wearer,
and foI out door wear are almost equal in
warmth to an ordinary cloth sacque.
Contrasts Of color are very attractive in
some OF the new costumes; for instance,
Worth trims very dark blue satin with brown
plush most effectively, Or he makes suit
of green velvet with brown fur beaver or
other fur trimming. Coats or bas;, ues that
are to be worn with black or otne1 dark
coloIed skirts Of satin or of velvet are made
of rich tapestries and of embossed SuGahs
With gold colored ground, on which the
raised woven figures are of black plush Of
heavy pile. Very dark red plush or olive
green coats are also used for this purpose,
and are made short and single breasted.

Facts Convenient to Know

The following facts are we'll worth re-
Numbering, as they will save great deal
of calculation and give approximately ac-
curate results with minimum labor:
A cord Of stone, 3 bushels of lime and
cubic yard Of sand will lay 100 cubic feet of
wall.
Five courses of brick will lay / foot in
height on a chimney. Nine bricks in q
course will make fue8 inches wide and
Is inches long.
Eight bushels of good lime, 16 bushels
of sand and bushel Of hair will make
enough mortar to plaster 100 square yards.
One.ffth more siding and flooring is
needed than the number of square feet to
be covered, because of the lap in siding
and matching of the floor.
One thousand laths will cover 70 yards
Of surface, and II pounds Of lath nails will
nail them on.
One thousand shingles laid 4 inches to
the weather will cover 100 square feet Of
surface, and S pounds Of single nails will
fasten them on.
