Belleville, Jefferson county,N Y. recent

says of her : ''Josiah Aliens Wife" is
lady with pleasant, attractive face,
quiet and almost childlike in it's frank
expression, handsome eyes, very friendly,
eloquent eyes, that see everything and
all its peculiarities of figure and charac-
ter, that comes within the range of
their quiet, sweeping glances. The
dark-brOwn hair falls in kindly little
curls and pretty crimps over broad,
white forehead the smile that lights
up the face at intervals displays small,
regular teeth, and when she speaks,
just a perceptible lisp, barely percepti-
BILE, lends an additional charm to a low,
soft voice. "JOsiah Aliens Wife, is

her wonderful lore of domestic life and
incident. And stranger than all else,

She lives and thinks and writes on her

charming neighbor, and they seem to
worship her in Belleville.

A LITERARY REVOLUTION CHAL-
LENGE.-The old-line publishers have,
very naturally, not been well pleased
with the now famous enterprise, "The
Literary Revolution; and in depre-
citation of its character have laid special
stress upon the claim. that in cheap
ening books so vastly it is against the
interest of American authors. The
Revolution boldly meets this assertion
by statements as follows: 1st. That
they are already paying to American
authors more money than any other
publishing house that is less than
twenty-five years established. I'd. That
American authors rarely receive from
publishers copyright exceeding 10 per
cent upon the retail price of their books
actually sold. As an example of an
American copyright book, The Revo-
luton issues, in an exceedingly hand
some form, the famous poetical, histori-
cal, and satirical American classic.
''M'Fingal, an Epic Poem,'' by John
Irumbull, with very full annotations
by the celebrated historian Benson ],
LOSING, LID. This poem is almost
as much part of American history as
the battle of Bunker Hill itself. and
DR.. LOSING has greatly increased both
its interest and its intrinsic value bv
his historical comments and illustra-
tions. This book was published a few
years ago by one of the old publishing
houses at the price of $500 per copy.
and had only very limited sale. The
publishers claim that the reception of
their new edition guarantees a sale of
at least $4,000, or even more probably
100, 200 copies and Mr.. Losing will,
OF course, reap handsome reward.

THE English temperance people have
long been fighting hot liquor with hot
coffee They very sensibly rely on this
more than on lectures for the preven-
tion of drunkenness. A cup of good
coffee is furnished for two cents and a
hot roll for a cent. This forms a for
midable competitor to a glass of hot
whiskey, at little more than half its
price. The coffee houses are furnished
with plenty of papers, and the man
who sups his coffee may stay as long as
he likes to read or talk. The indepen-
dent laborer who is fed at these coffee
houses has the knowledge that he is no
recipient of charity, for these coffee
houses are among the best paying in
vestments in Britain. Most of the
English companies pay dividend of
ten per cent. on the money invested,
and many of them more, while all are
self-supporting.

THE following is said to be cure for
hydrophobia: Take two tablespoonfuls
of fresh chloride of lime, mix it with
one-half pint of water, and with this
wash keep the wound constantly bathed
and frequently renewed. The chloride
gas possesses the power of decomposing
the tremendous poison, and renders
mild and harmless that venom against
whose resistless attack the artillery of
medical science has been so long direct
ed in vain. 1t is necessary to add that
this wash must be applied as soon as
possible after the infliction of the bite.

Miss Spelter started on her mission.
Detective Campbell went out the back
way and followed her. At Sixty-fir
street and Madison avenue, he saw
man following the gOverness, and on
the opposite side of the street second
man who made signals to the first.
These signals were repeated and an
swered. When the young woman was
about midway between Madison and
Fifth avenues, on Sixty-frst street, "a

hand to arrest him. The man, starting
back, threw his hand behind him, ex-
claiming, "Don't touch me, or I'll
blow your brains out" The detective
at once drew his revolver and present
ed at his head, ordering him to surren-
der and not to draw his pistol. The
man, with his right hand still behind
him, made a grab at Campbelrs pistol,
and the detective says the blow of his
hand discharged the pistol. Campbell
insists that he did not fire at the man.
At all events the detectives revolver
was discharged, and the big bullet went
crashing through the mans left eye and
into his brain. He dropped dead. His
body was taken to the 2Sth precinct
station house. 1t was that of a man
about 35 years old, with brown hair,
long, brown side whiSkers and light

The goat is omnivetous. He will
goat anything that he sees, and will
seize anything that he may goat.
His principal food, however, is play
bill. He is very fond of letters.
Let us honor him for his love of bill

The gentleman goat is called Billy,
but he is Billy that no policeman can
handle.
The lady goats are called Nanny.

The young goat is called the kid.
Kids are on hand the year round.
The goat is generous to a fault. He
presents a couple of horns to everybody
he sees.
The goats horns are always above
