A Strange Cure.

Recently has gene the rounds of
newspapers an improbable story of
the cure of a nervous, painful affec
ton, of a rheumatic nature, by an old
tramp, who accomplished the wonder
full feat by passing and repassing the
little chap several times over the back
of a jackass. This treatment was
repeated every day for nine days, dur
ing which time it was observed that
the animal gradually became i'll, while
the child improved, until at the end
of the nine days the jack snccumbed
to. swollen limbs and body, and the
child was completed restored. The
story, of course, was not taken with
out salt, inasmuch as the popular
impression is that while q child, or
even man, would be perfectly cured
of all earthly ills by rubbing around
the vicinity of a mules hind propel-
lers, the patient, for obvious reasons,

A Baseless Precaution,

Know that the woman was extremely
sensitive, of a highly-nervous tempera-
ment, and painfully anxious in the mat
ter OF pleasing and accommodating her
guests. Know this, and then imagine
her feelings on the occasion which trans
PRED as follows:
She had arranged for an evening
darty, and among the guests whom she
had invited was middle-aged gentle
man, Of high social standing
and wealthy, who had the misfortune to
have nose SO strangely malformed as
to be scarcely perceptible simple pro
tuberance in place of the nasal organ
and that was all.
Now our good lady friend CHANGED to
have little 3-year-old daughter, who
was utterly irrepressible in her eager
pursuit OF knowledge; and, fearing that
the little one might make some remark
upon, or ask some question about, that
gentleman's facial defect, she took her
upon her knee, before the company ar
rived, and said to her
"Now look here, my little pet: Mr..
s will be here this evening, and 1
want you to promise me that you will
not say anything shout his nose-that
you will neither ask any question nor
make any remark"
The child promised, and then wen.
away to help the cook sample the sweet
meats.

Natural Sounds.

Among the natural sounds of obscure
origin with which mythology and sci
ence have been occupied are the rustllngs
and so-called voices which seem to come
from the air, sometimes from the bosom
Of the earth, and which have been re-
marked upon in all ages. Autenrieth
refers them to the same class as the
noises like thunder or the firing of cam
non, which the hearers often fail to
trace to an apparent cause. Sometimes
they seem like the trampling of horses,
or the roll of drums, or the clangor of
trumpets at other times, like human
voices. In the last case the sounds are
those which are common to all men, and
may be interpreted by each nearer as in
his own language. TO the Romans
they spoke Latin, to the Greeks Greek,
to the Scotch Highlanders Gaelic.
History has notices Of these sounds; the
Bible descriptions attribute to them a
religious significance. They are re-
ferred to when it is related that Samuel
heard the voice of Jehovah three times
in the temple when Habukkuk, pro-
nouncing the curse on Babylon, spoke
Of the stones crying out in the walls
when the glad mountains and waves
are mentioned in the Psalms in the &C
count in John of the voice that cried out
from heaven when Jesus went into Jeru-
salem, and the people wondered whether
it was thunder or an angel In the story
OF the conversion of st. Paul. and in
the account Of the pouring out of the
Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. The
profane history of antiquity also tells Of
voices from above, and ascribes to them
supernatural significance and an infu-
ence over the hearts of men. Instances
in point are sounds of battle and the
clash of arms and the ne1ghing of horses,
heard by night, according to Pausanias,
on the field of Marathon the address
Of the god Pan to the Athenian Ambas-
sailors to Sparta, told Of by Herodotus,
and the voices heard by both armies
after the battle of the Romans with the
sons Of Tarquin. The Germans have
myths of the din made by the war god
and his marching hosts, of the wild
huntsman, of strange cries and of the
barking Of dogs heard in the air and
the French have stories not unlike them.

wouldn't be able tell much about it

afterward.
This case, however, is merely intro
ductory to brief allusioA to cure
which was effected very singularly in
the fourteenth ward recently. Some
years ago coal miner named Braun,
was afflicted so badly with infamma-
tory rheumatism in his hands and
arms that he was compelled to seek
another way of earning living.
Somewhere he heard that handling
doves would effect a cure, and he pur-
chased number of Che birds. These
he would take up in his hands, stroke
and play with daily, and the result
was that the pair he thus manipulated
invariably became swollen up, first in
the legs and then in the body, pre-
cisely as though they had the rheu-
matism. Finally death would ensue.
In proportion as the doves became
swollen Braun's affection decreased,
and finally, after pursuing the strange
treatment for some time, he was able
to keep himself wholly relieved from
pain. He still raises doves for the
sacrifice, and winter and summer alike
he is able to pursue his business as %
dairyman, which vocation he took up
in lieuof coal-digging some years ago.

Minus E.

A correspondent of the Chicago IN
ter Ocean writes: You newspaper
men have been publishing as something
marvellous string of verses in which
the letter "E" is Conspicuous for its alb
sence," as the phrase goes. Pshaw
That letter is very much over-estimated.
One hardly misses the little Joker if he
gets used to doing without him, pro-
vided he is allowed to write as poets
generally do, without sense, too. Thus:
John Knox was wight Of wondrous might
And his words rang high and shrill,
For bold and stout was his spirit bright,
And strong was his stawart will
Kings sought in vain his mind to chain,
And that giant brain to control,
But naught on plain stormy main
Could daunt that mighty soul
John would sit and sigh till morning cold
Its shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold,
Aud brought but pain and doubt
But light n. last on his soul was cast,
Away sank pain and sorrow;
His soul is gay in a fair to-day,
And looks for bright tomorrow.
And SO on ad in tsaitas,n. So, you see,
fellow can write with ease without E's

Sailing on a Sea of Fire.

One of the beautiful revelations of a
summer night to dweller in the coun-
try is the myriads of lights flashed forth
by fire-tiies. But they that go down
to the sea in ships" gaze upon light
that never was upon land-the illumina-
lions of the deep by countless millions of
fre-esh, invisible to the naked eye.
| . An English clergyman, while voyag-
ing in the Indian ocean, was called on
deck one night to see the ship sailing on
sea of fire.
There was no moon, the night was
pitch dark, and yet it was as light as
day. Before, behind, on the port and
on the starboard side, as far as the eye
could see, the surface of the ocean was
one blaze of Light.
The clergyman ran down to his cabin
and brought up a small-type Bible.
Opening it he read with ease and aloud
several verses. The mate informed him
that the ship, going at ten knots, had
been sailing for an hour over that phos-
phorescent sea.
Determined to do what he could to
solve the scientific question, the clergy
man had bucket OF the liquid fire
hauled on board.
The bucket came up full Of bright
sparks, and, picking up some of the
brightest with the tip of his finger, he
fixed them, while wet, to the object
glass of powerful microscope.
The next morning there were minute
specks Of something on the glass. On
being examined through the micro
scope, they proved to be fish, dead, of
course, and doubled up like shrimps.
He drew and painted them In their mag.
nifed form.
Whether there may be animalculm in
other forms which Gerry light at sea, he
does not knew does know that
those which gu ght into day be-
fore his eyes were lllnute shrimp-like
forms, with heads and legs and trans
parent bodies.

How Oregon Youths Are Advised.

Young men contemplating marriage
have so frequently called upon us to adj
wise them in the manner of popping the
all-important question, that We have
concluded to give our opinion once for
all. Never propose to young lady
after q hearty meal. The blood is needed
to aid digestion, and. her imagination is
chilled. Nor should it come just before
q meal, for the longings of an impor-
tuned system conduce to anxiety and ir-
ritability, and the shock may prove
hazardous. Itwould be better to select
the evening, and invite her to some en-
tertainment which you know she wants
to attend, and then propose to her ire.
as she is ready to start. This will be
greatly to your advantage, for she will
easily see that rejection will upset an
evenings entertainment. Oregon pa

A Matter of Choice i.

The popular supposition is that
women are always anxious to marry,
when in reality they often remain
unwedded from choice. Many per-
sons do not wish to be married. and
more generally those most anxious to
be-are not fitted for the state. Good
wifehood or true husbandship is not
inerited with birth; nor does it apper-
tain to the multitude. Those who
cannot live alone, cannot, as a rule,
live together. COnnubial adoption is
evidence of self-adaption, of forbear-
ance, of individuality. The best

An Attempt at Free Advertising Baked.
