The cold winds of the past winter
passed through the whole of Mexico,
and the effects of one of them were ex-
perienced as far south as the Isthmus,
an event perhaps never recorded before.
In northern Mexico all the cotton
fields and banana trees were badly dam
aged, and injury was sustained by the
coffee trees of the Isthmus. The per-
sonal suffering endured by the pOpula-
ton OF Mexico was not the least of the
winters evils. Mexican houses are
made for summer, Lot winter, weather.
They are open to the breeze on every
side, and have neither stoves nor chin
neys, all the cooking being done out of
doors. Through these habitations the
freezing northers blew with har dly an
obstruction, and the scantily attired
people suffered intensely.

The True Story of William Tell.

The True Story Of William Tell.
He was captain of an archery club,
and one of the best shots with the bow
and arrow in all Switzerland. The
country was then under the rule of the
tyrant Gesler. One day Gesler set his
plug hat on pole Tor men TO salute,
and ordered that every man in Altorf
should make Obeisance to il or die. And
they did, every man of them. Even
the treeS standing around male their
best boughs. Finally Bill Tell came
along with his little boy. He told the
men of AltOrf that before he would bow
to Gesler's hat he. would 'Altorf and
stamp on il. That was the kind of
bow-an'- he was. Gesler arrested
him on the spot, being marshal OF the
village as well as tyrant, thus drawing
salary from two offices, contrary to the
constitution. Gesler, as 4 punishment
for his audacity, ordered him 10 shoot
an apple OF the head OF his boy. This
he did, although il was an arrow es-
cape for the young Tell. The apple
fell, pierced TO the core, no encore being

every dog must have his day,
lie had his and passed away.
Poor fellow! little had he thought
His dog-days were to be so short;
He did not drain life's bitter cup
Death took him when he was pup,
Ard laid him here beneath this sod,
A. good dog as ever trod.
He sought for happiness in vain,
But found all pleasure mixed with pain
And when his Joy gave way to sadness,
He gronned and people deemed it madness
He had the stomach ache so bad
He howled ,and then they said Hes mad,
And SHOT poor LEO By mistake,
Because he had the belly ache;
And died withouta fault-he left no foes,
And one fierce struggle closed his earthly
woes"

Hope for COnsumptives at Last.
From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmo-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was first or incipient stage
of the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his encroachments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system a higher de-
gree ofvitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed. And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary taint, a
prompt resort to the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years. eX-
perlence of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. If you wish to learn all abont
this new treatment, address Drs. Starkey

The case of the two Indianapolis hus-
bands who agreed to swap wives, by
means of divorce, is curious. The couples
were intimate friends, and the trade has
been amicably carried out. Baumuller
went to st. Louis on his honeymoon
tour. "Mr. Richter and ~ he said to
Republican reporter, care like broth
ers. Not very long ago ] discovered
that | loved Mrs. Richter better than
did my own wife, and that she preferr-
ed me 10 her husband. l also discover
ed that Mr.. Richter and my wife stood
in exactly the same relation to each
other. What were we to do? Quarrel?
1t was useless. 1t was so and could not
be helped. l had tried to suppress my
feelings, and l would have done so if
had not found that Lena, my wife, loved
Richter and that Richter loved Lena.
We did not quarrel we arranged every
thing. We met, all four, Richter, Mrs.
Richter, my wife and myself, at Rich
ter's house, and there we talked the
matter over until we concluded that the
best thing to be done was to seek di-
vOrces." DR.. Baumuller is a reputable
physician with large practice. Rich
ter has been a street commissioners and is
wealthy. In one respect he seems to
get the best of the bargain, for his new
wife is 20, while his old wife is 80, and
he is go. Baumuller is 80.

How to Be Nobody.

1t is easy to be nobody, and we will
tell you how TO do it. Go to the drink
ing saloon to spend your leisure time.
You need not drink much nOw--lust a
little beer or some other drink. In the
meantime, play dominoes or something
else to kill time, so that you will be
sure not to read any useful books. Ii
you read anything, let IL be tho cheap
novels OF the day; thus go on keeping
your stomach full and your head empty,
and yourself playing time-killing
games, and in n few years you will be
nobody, unless you should turn out a
drunkard or a professional gambler, Ell
ther of which is worse than nobody.
There are any number OF young men
hanging around bar-parlors, just ready
to graduate and be nobOdies.
