Did Not Know It Was Loaded.

There is a woman in the west end
who has learned lesson that will
last her a life time. She has been
for years wearing these paper bags,
such as the grocers use, for bustles.
The paper is stiff, AID sticks out
splendid, and makes the dress look
well. Last Sunday morning, while
she was dressing, her young son
got in the room and blew the bag
full of wind, and tied a string
around the mouth of il, and left il
in chair. The good lady took it
and tied it on and left tor church.
She bribed her husband to go to
church with her, though he is a
sort of Bob Ingersoll christian.
AS they went down the aisle, the
minister was reading hymn about
Sounding the Loud Hossnna," aud
the lady went in the pew first and
sat down, while her husband was
putting his hat on the floor. There
was report like a distant thunder.
You have heard how those con-
founded paper bags explode when
boys blow them up and crush them
between their hands. Well, it was
worse than that, and everybody
looked at the husband who was
standing there perfect picture OF
amazement. He looked at his wife,
as much as to say, Nov this is the
last time you will catch me in a
church, if you are going to play
any of your tricks on me. You
can't scare me into getting relig-
ion" The minister stopped read
ing the hymn, and looked over his
spectacles at the new corners as
though 1t would not surprise him if
that bad man should blow the
church up. The poor lady blushed
and looked around as much as to
say: 81 did not know it was load
cd" and she looked the hymn book |
over for, the hymn. AS the choir rose
to sing she offered one side of her
book to her husband, but he looked |
mad and pious, and stood at the |
other end of the pew and looked |
out OF the stained window. After
the service, they started home to-
gether, and as they turned the first
corner, he said to his wife: well,
you played hell on your watch,
didn't your She told him there |
was no such thing as hell In the BIZ
BILE now, but that abe would make
that boy think there had been no
revision OF the bible when she got
home. We only got the story from
the husband. He said he didL't
know what it was that made the
noise until they got home, and after
a little diminishing around his wife
held up q hursted paper bag and
asked tho boy if he blew that bag
up, He said he did, but he did not
know there was anything about it.
The boy and his mother and the
press board paid visit to the back
kitchen, and there was sound OF
revelry. Boys will be boys.

Rohharv and not Lazinass

The north sneers at the south's
poverty, and tells her she is poor
because she is lazy. The south is
the hardest working part of the
union. She is poor because she is
annually robbed of the fruits other
hard labor. David Wells, a son of
New England, says: "Under the
name of protective tarifI-on the
one article of cotton ties alone in
one year-the manufacturing prin
ces of the north robbed the hard
working cotton farmers of the enor-
nous sum of $l,316,640. Only
81, 227 of this sum went into the
government treasury. Where did
the balance go? 1t went in the
pockets of the iron princes of the
north. Yet the north can't SEQ
why the south wanted free and in
dependent government? The south
is the ep-child of the government,
is the Cinderella of the hard
hearted, proud and selfish states of
the north. They keep us poor by
their robbing laws, and then sneer
at us because we are poor! George
III. was not half so unjust to tho
colonies.

Advice to Telemachus.

You want to know, do you, my
son, why it is that, with all your
management, you can't live on your
salary, and are always in debt at the
end Of the yearP Well, I'll tell you,
my dear Telemachus why it is, and
it won't cost you q dollar for the
information. It's because you are
trying to have a So, 200 time on 8
5000 salary, and it can't be did.
Older men than you have tried 1t
and failed right along. A 5000
boarding house and a $500 livery
stable just exactly cuts the last cou-
pom of your salary, and then how
does the man who makes your
clothes expect to get anything out OF
you is more than you can tell him.
Yours is a very simple case, my
dear, and you can apply the RENE
dies yourself and perfor m the neces
sary operation without the presence
of consulting surgeon. will it
hurt?" My poor boy, you can bet
your last bottom dollar that it will
hurt. IL will make you squirm q
thousand times a day until you get
out of debt, and then you will teel
as though you were in paradise.
Begin treatment at once; the longer
you wait the worse your case will
be and the more you'll dread it.

Why Use Hogs Lard.

The word scrofula comes from
scrofa-a SOW. Ofall animals, hogs
are the filthiest and the most dis
eased and disease creating. Con
sumption is the worst form of scrof-
ula. The wise mother who looks to
the health of her fam lily will Danish
lard from the kitchen-banish it at
once and forever. Any person who
has ever taken the trouble to vi sit a
slaughter house and inspect the
livers Of the slaughtered hogs will
90 away with a deadly disgust
against hog meat and hog lard. A
sound-hog liver is not to be found.
They are perforated with worms,
and full of pustules and boils.-
This shows how full of disease are
what are called Zine fat" hogs.
There is now no excuse for using
hogs lard. Refined cotton seed oil
Is a pure vegetable oil, as whole
some and rs delicate as olive oil.
1t is better for biscuit and frying
purposes than lard, not scorching
so easily; it is as good as butter for
cakes. We know many of the first
families of this city who are using
it, and think it far better than lard.
1t is much cheaper. The wholesale
price by the barrel is only SO cents
per gallon. Retail price from 20 to
75 cents per gallon, or 10 cents per
pound. One pound goes much
further than a pound of lard
There are y pounds of oil in a
gallon, which at T5 cts. per gallon,
would be 10 cents per pound. Lard
is IA cents per pound. As Of a
pound Of the oil is equivalent to q
pound of lard it is clear that the oil
is from s to 8 cents cheaper than
lard and a thousand times more
wholesome.
1t is time our people stopped pois-
oning themselves with hogs lard,
which does much toward causing
consumption and other forms of
scrofula.

Feed for Laying Hens.

A correspondent asks: "Can hens
be made too fat to layY Yes in
deed. Fat hens rarely lay. If hens
are fed so much or so often that
they begin to fatten rapidly, they
will soon stop laying. He asks
again: "Is there any thing better
than corn to make hens lay"-No
food is better than Indian corn or
ground corn Indian NEAL TO fatten
hens, and Of course it should be fed
sparingly to laying hens. If hens
do not lay and are fat, feed them
but once a day-at evening just be
fore they go to roost-giving wheat
screenings, buckwheat and oats, in
such proportions as you judge best.
Throw the feed upon clean ground
only so fast as they pick it up
Stop just as soon as you see any OF
the flock begin to wander away.
Let them forage all day for weed
seeds, grass, insects, etc. They
must have warm quarters, well
ventilated at night, and a sunny run
by day in winter. After a while
begin to feed them sparingly little
meat scraps chopped fine, broken
bones, oyster shells, etc, and they
will probably soon begin to lay.

OnIcI, Enrfnnes-

That the oil region is n country
where fortunes are made quickly is
well known. The man who is beg
ging his bread to-day may be wear
ing a diamond in his shirt.iron to-
morrow, and the day laborer Of last
week is a moneyed man next month.
On our streets we can point to men
who couldn't draw a check for ten
cents six months ago. NoS they
can draw their check for ten thou
sand dollars-and the bank wouldn't
accept it. Yonder is man who
walked into Oil City as tramp n
year ago. To day he is n porter in
n hotel. Here comes a man who
borrowed ten cents of us last week
to get n glass of milk. Now he
wants TO borrow ten cents more.
He says he wants TO buy a meal.
He dimes on liquid meals. Go TO
B., and you will see the same evi
dence of prosperity. A man who
came into this field when the excite
ment began with less than n huh-
dred dollars, is now worth as many
JuOuSduuS. AuObueI, WHO WIS put
in the lookup, and borrowed mon
ey TO pay his fine, was arrested the
other day and sent TO Jail He
couldn't borrow anything this time.
Here's another man who went there
with his last cent in his pocket.
Last month he drew a check for
twenty thousand dollars. He, too,
is in Jail. He signed another mans
name to the check. Such are the
ups and downs of oil life. Here
to-day, in Jail tomorrow. The dia-
mond sparkling in your shirt front
in the rays of the morning sun
may be pawned for fifty cents ere
the orb of day sinks TO rest. The
man who hasn't a place TO lay his
head tonight will be provided with

perseverance, who has less than ten
dollars on his arrival here, will in
three weeks own n ten acre lease
on an oil well, with n fifteen thou

Old Tippecanoe.

1t is related by a Chester lady
that VIII n General William Henry
Harrison was running for the presi-
dency he stopped at the old Wash
ington house, in Chester, for dinner.
II was noticed that the general
pledged his toast in water, and one
of the gentlemen from New York in
offering q toast said: General,
will you not favor me by drinking
a glass of wineP" The general de-
clined in a very gentlemanly man
ner. Again be was urged to drink
glass of wine. This was too much.
He arose from the table, his tall
form erect, and in the most indig-
nant manner replied: Gentlemen,
l have refused twice to partake of
the wine cup-that should have been
sufficient; though you should press
the cup to my lips, not drop should
pass the portal. l made a resolve
when started in life that 1 would
avoid strong drink, and 1 have new
er broken it. l am of a class of
seventeen young men who gradual

pernicious hsbit of wine drinking.
[ owe all my wealth, happiness and
prosperity to that resolution. Will
