plement of Russian refugee Jewish pas
sengers. Among these were three mar
ried sisters, Ruth Jacobsky, Lena Itskok
and Miriam Levinski, who, with their
husbands, left Odessa last winter. In
Russia, where they had been married on

belong to the middle class. The hus-
bands OF these women eare tailors by

their wives and coreligionists. were sent
on board the AssyrianI Monarch for New
York. On Sunday morning the LIST inst,
Lena Itskok, who is a very prepossessing
Jewess about % years old, became a
mother of two fine, healthy girls. Her
two sisters were in the act of congratu-
lating the newly-made mamma, when
they themselves found that they were in
want Of the doctors services. At

j lA Granger at Columbus.

A few weeks ago there was a cheap
excursion to Columbus and among those
who took advantage Of the low rates was
one Of our most esteemed friends from

known citizen of Ridge township, he
visited all the public institutions peni-
tentiary, insane and deaf and dumb asy-
lum-fnally bringing up at the depot,
where two men were about to engage in
a fight. A third person came along who
proposed to bet any amount, from a dol
lar to gold mine that he could whip
both beligerent gentlemen and finally
led them away. Our granger friend adj
mired his tpluck and complimented his

Stonewall Jackson's sister, Mrs. Laura
j. Arnold, Of Buchannon, Virginia, was
the guest of Captain ). w. Chamberlin,
Cashier of the National Exchange Bank,
Tiffin, Ohio, last week. At the breaking
out of the war. she, with her family,
lived in Beverly, Virginia. Her brother
voted against secession, but followed his
state. Her husband and oldest son were
both rebels, while younger son and
daughter were Unionists. Mrs. Arnold
was not only Union in principle, but also
in practice. Early in the war she was en-
gagged in hospital work. The duties were
too arduous and she had to resign her
place. After that she took Union SOL
diers-both sick and wounded--to her
home and uursed them back to health
there. During the war she nursed at her
home many of the Union soldiers. Among
those whom she nursed was Capt. Cham
berlain, who feels that to her kindness
he practically owes his life.

Calves sometimes scour. The best
thing / nave found to stop this is to stir
half pint of wheat -four into boiling
water, thus making a mush of it. When
cooled to blood warmth, fead TO the
calf, and if it does not stop the securing
repeat the dose and give no other food
till the little animal gets well. This
boiled -four is the more beneficial be-
cause it acts both as a medicine and

business-like press. The tomato pulp is
poured into a hopper which ends in a

press will fill eight thousand cans per

running from the can factory in an up

be, to get a balance of Just three pounds
The can is then sponged and passed over

A JudiciOus Wife.

Ajudicious wife, says Ruskin, is al
ways nipping off from under her hus-
bands moral nature little twigs that are
growing in wrong directions. She keeps
him in shape by continued pruning. If
you say anything silly she will affection
ately tell you so. If you declare that
you will do some absurd thing, she will
find some means of preventing you from
doing it. And by far the chief part of all
the common sense there is in this world
belongs unquestionably to women. The
wisest things man commonly does are
those which his wife counsels him to do.
A wife is grand wielder of the moral
pruning knife. If Johnson's wife had
lived, there would have been no hoard
ing up of orange peel, no touching all
the posts in walking along the streets, no
eating and drinking with disgusting
voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith had been
married, he never would have worn that
memorable and ridiculous coat When
ever you find a man whom you know
but little about oddly dressed, or talking
absurdly, or exhibiting eccentricity of
manner, you may be sure that he is not
married man, for the corners are
rounded off, the little shoots pared away,
in married men. Wives have generally
much more sense than their husbands,
even though they may be clever men.
The wife's advice is like the ballast that
keeps the ship steady.
