taking hat care of your health which
will make you at forty, when your are
the mother of a fine family of children,
a robust, handsome woman, looking
aver better than you do now? You
are? W. don't believe it, and you don't
either. No young woman can arise in
the middle of the forenoon, read trashy
novels, take no exercise except an occa-
sional promenade, eat sweetmeats, do no
work, and keep late hours, and at the
same time lay a foundation for good
health at forty. 1t is all very we'll to be
handsome at twenty, but to be healthy
and handsome both at forty is more
greatly to be desired. -NeaS Haven Reg

In Trouble.

A New York lady was unfortunate
enough to have her baggage put upon
an outgoing European steamer, when
she wanted it to go with her to Elberon,
Long Branch. She has an excuse for
complaining of her i'll luck. The boxes
contained her new summer wardrobe,
and her Jewels to the value of many
thousands of dollars. They came down
stairs at the hotel in New York, and
got mixed with the belongings of an

ing about to start for his home across

were placed in the steamers hold. The

American Fables.

One day while an old Goose sat fam

badly knocked about. Trying to look
as humble as he could, and throwing
all possible pathos into his voice, he
began:
"Madam, for Heavens sake take pity
on me?"
"Lal sakes ! but what a distressed
object you are !" she replied with swell

"Yes'm."
"It is, however, my duty to hope

"Oh, yes"

Then she took him in and gave him a

Some immigration Statistics.

One of the most striking of the nu-
merous tables issued by the Bureau of
Statistics on the subject of immigration
shows the decrease of late years, both
absolutely and comparatively, in the
arrivals from Ireland. In 1851 these
had reached their greatest abundance,
the number being 221, 253. Thirty years
later, in 1881, they had fallen to less
than a third-to 70, 900 in the greatest
of all immigration years. In 1877 they
had dropped to only Is, 791, or to less
than n in sixteen of the amount a
quarter of a century before.
In the two years 1851 and 1852 nearly
400, 600 Irish landed in this country;
bnt such heavy draughts on the popu-
latlon of the island of last had their
effect, and the tremendous outflow fell
off in quantity. Another fact of inter-
est on this subject, much less generally
known, is that during the last thirty
years the immigration from England
has as steadily increased as that from
Ireland has fallen off. In 1851 the i'm
migration from Ireland was more than
$50 times as great as that from England:
but in 1881 the English immigration was
more than 5000 larger than the Irish.
In forty years our English immigration
has increased from only lat a year to
to rs, 547. Once more, while in the
long period from 1920 to 1860 the
Irish immigration was more than twice
as great as that from all Great Britain,
and while for twenty years it was three
times as great, ever since 1860 it has
been much less than the immigration
from the remainder of the British isles
during each successive year, except
1880. That year it made up its average
from the preceding one, when the i'm
migration from Great Britain was near
ly double that from Ireland. Finally,
Irish immigration thirty years ago sur
passed that from all countries COM
bined; and last year it had fallen to less
than one-tenth of the total, being
smaller than even that from Norway
and Sweden.-NeW York San.

please Don't Steal, Papa"

Police Inspector Lange, of Jersey
City, translated a German letter found
on the prisoner Antoine Menu, who was
arrested for stealing a COW, the property
of Mr.. John Lynch, of Jersey City. The
letter was written by MEMS little
daughter, Annie Menu, and is dated
Nordstetter, a Swabian village. After
telling her father how she is second in
her class, she says that her companions
taunt her with the statement that her
father is a thief. She begs him not to
steal, now that he is in America, and
says that when she grows up she will
come to this country and help take care
of him. The letter ends touchingly
with the admonition :-"Please don't
steal, papa" The father will probably
be sent to State Prison for a long term,
as he is wanted to answer several
charges of burglary.

A MilliOnaire's Prize Dollar.

The Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin SAYS
Ebenezer Learned, of this city, succeed
ed Geo. Martin some time ago as super
lntendent of the Park congregational
Sunday School, the latter gentleman
feeling obliged to resign on account of
i'll health. Although Mr.. Learned took
the position at the earnest solicitation
OF the school, he announced his inability
to accept Office for any length of time;
but In his ardor to see the membership
increased during his administration he
said to the school on the first Sunday:
81 have a bright silver dollar in my
pocket which is to be given to the per-
son who brings the largest number of
new scholars to the Sunday school while
1 remain superintendent"
A few Sundays ago John F. Slater,
the wealthy manufacturer, observed a
bevy OF small children looking admir-
ingly at the Park Church, and heard
one Of them say, "I should like to go
to church there" Catching the words
he approached the interested group and
assured them that they could attend
service at Park Church if they chose.
They received the announcement with
great glee. Their expressions of delight
greatly increased his interest in them.
He invited them to attend church there
on the following Sunday, and agreed
to. meet them at the door and to give
them seats.
The following Sunday six bright
faced, tidy children were on the church
steps to greet him when he came, and
he politely ushered them into the
church, and seated them in his pew.
At the conclusion of the services he
asked them if they would not like to
attend the Sunday school, and again
their little faces lit up with joy as they
accepted the invitation of their unknown
acquaintance. He conducted them to
the school-room door, and they were
added to the classes. They proved to
be little strangers, whose parents had
recently moved to this city. The next
Sunday the whole seven children repre-
senting the new family were in their
places. Superintendent Learned was
in his, but at his request his successor
had been appointed, and he was about
to withdraw. Mr.. Slater, who is a
member of the church, knew nothing
of the superintendent prize dollar,
and the school was startled when Mr..
Learned announced that "John F.
Slater had added seven pupils to the
school, and was the winner of the
prize" The coin was forwarded by let
ter to the famous millionaire, to whom
it was a pleasant surprise. He duly
acknowledged the receipt, and will
treasure it as a symbol of one OF the
most agreeable memories of his life.

A Dangerous Cigar Lighter.

Street hawkers have lately taken to
selling a ''magic cigar lighter" which
is calculated to do much mischief. AS
every student knows, the affinity of sodi-
UNI for oxygen is so great that it will
take the coveted element from water
with such rapidity as to cause it to burst
into flame. The new lighter is a thin
sodium, a fragment of which when
placed on the end of a cigar and touched
with water, burns with great vehe-
mence.
Few of those who buy the little walls
of lighters are aware what walls of wrath
they may turn out to be if unskillfully
handled. The burning sodium will
make an ugly wound if it comes in con-
tact with the skin, which is likely to
happen from the sputtering way it has.
A sweaty finger is enough to set the
stuff ablaze, or a sweaty pocket, should
the cork of the bottle chance to come
out. AS the lighters are bought chiefly
by the Ignorant, who are taken by the
seeming miracle of producing fire by
the direct action of water, it is a won
der that no serious accidents with them
have been reported. The traffic is not
one to be encouraged. An1eri-
can.

Story of an Umbrella.

During a shower o citizen carrying a
very wet umbrella entered a hotel to
nav a call to some one up stairs. After
nlacine his umbrella where it might
drain he wrote upon a piece of paper
and pinned to it the sentence:
"N. B.--This umbrella belongs to a
man who strikes a 25O-pound blow
hack in fifteen minutes"
He went his way up stairs, and after
an absence of fifteen minutes returned
to find his umbrella gone, and in its
place a note reading:
"P. S.-Umbrella taken 10y a mar

General Sherman ON Pensions.

The General of the Army is reported
to have said recently that "we have
gone to the verge of extravaganza in
granting pensions to u privates, but I
believe the people are satisfied that we
should err in the direction of too much
rather than too little" because feeble
ness consequent upon wounds and IN
usual exposure had compelled many
veterans to drop to the rear in the bat
tie for bread. The people, he said, do
not want their heroes in the poorhouse.
All of this is true except the expression,
''verge of extravaganza" which does
not define the situation at all. If only
veterans who are poor and because of
disabilities contractedin the service were
on the pension roll the people would not
complain, but every man who knows
any number Of pensioners knows well
that many are as able to earn their
food and clothing as their neighbors
who never went to the war at all, and
that pensions were awarded them for
causes more trivial than the most gen.
erous private employer would consider
worthy of attention. If the pensioners
were posted frequently at the post offices
of their places of residence, as has been
suggested by the Herald, or advertised
once a year in their local newspapers, as
provided for in Senator Beck's bill, upon
which the Senate dropped severely, the
public would be astonished to learn how
many men who boast of health anG
prosperity are drawing money from the
national Treasury because ones they
got scratched in battle, or had stomach
aches of which complainant family ply
sicians have been persuaded to discover
permanent after effects. If Genera
Sherman will use his influence to have
the pension list revised until it contains
only the names of men who need assist
ance, the public will cease to complain
of what they now consider a huge swim
die. -NeW York Herald.

AN AMERICAN BEY.--Charles Chaille
Long Bey, the American Consul at
Alexandria, after serving in the war OF
the Rebellion here, at it's close went to
Egypt and took service with the Khe-
dive. Life in the Egyptian army being
too quiet, he joined an exploring party
into the recesses Of the desert. He was
the first white man who ever visited
King M'Tesi, and wrote an amusing
book of travel, entitled "Naked Truths
of Naked People," On his return he
became Consul, and appears to have
been of great assistance not only to
Americans, but to the people of other
countries previous to and since the
bombardment. His knowledge of the
Arab language enables him to deal di-
rectly with the natives, without that
eompulsive recourse to the interpreter,
which seems to have been the cause of
pluch disaster.
