A NeighbOrly Family.

A family named Brooks, from down
in Indiana, moved into house in Peoria
and before night had borrowed tea,
sugar, eggs, milk and kerosene from as
many different .neighbors. After three
or four days the new family ceased to
borrow promiscuously, and settled down
on one particular neighbor. Atan early
hour in the morning small boy oppear-
ed and said:
s'Say, we are out of tacks and want to
put down our carpet. Ma wants to know
il she can borrow yours"
A hunt was made and the request
granted, but in ten minutes the boy re-
turned and said.
Say, we've mislaid our tack hammer,
and ma wants to borrow yours"
He got it, and this time it was twenty
minutes before he returned and said:
ssSay, mas pulled oil her teeth out
pulling on that carpet. She wants to
know If you won't lend her one Of your
boys?"
One of the boys was sent over, but it
was an obstinate carpet, and back came
the messenger with,
essay, amt your husband home?"
s'Yes; what do you want?"
sssWell, mas mislaid her husband some
where, aud she wants to borrow yours
to pull one end OF the internal carpet
through two doors and across o hall. =
The line had to be drawn somewhere
and IL was fixed here.

Saved From Death.

We might show on large scale, how
conformity to the laws of health always
lowers the death rate. and has even ban
ished from some lands the most terrible
pestilences that ragged in them; but we
will give very simple illustration
nearer home, that will not only serve
for the benefit Of children cared for by
parents, but also for older persons.
The first six years in the history of
the orphan asylum at Albany may be
divided into two equal periods. In the
first three years there were between
thirty and forty deaths, from four to six
children, and sometimes more, being
constantly on the sick list. In the last
there were only three deaths, and these
were of inmates just admitted, two of
whom were idiots.
During the latter period, daily ablu-
tions took the place Of additions once in
three weeks, unbolted bread was substi-
tutedfor fnewhite bread; animal food was
banished; rice, Indian buildings, Vege-
tables, fruits, and milk, were continued,
and more attention was paid to cloth
ing, bedding, fresh air and exercise.
Here is most significant result,
clearly due to hygiene, the deaths re-
duced from thirty-o to three.
Throughout our land, in our homes
as we'll as in asylums, the slaughter of
the innocents" is constantly going on,
decade after decade, through ignorance
or neglect Of the laws of health and
life. There is not q doubt that the death
rate among children can be greatly re-
duced. What responsibility is on
parents!

ssOf oil the means that can be used to
give strength, tone, power and intrinsic
force to the physical organization Of the
human being, working the soil is the
best. It is better than mechanics; bet
ter than gymnastics; better than travel,
though it be on foot; better than riding
ON horseback, or going to sea, or drink
ing the waters Of medicinal springs.
True, women are to be found in great
numbers who are SO sick as not to be
able to dig the earth. These must avail
themselves of other forms of labor in the
open air. But where no special disease
exists, but only want. Of constitutional
force, of muscular power, as is the case
with many women and grown up girls
in this country, digging in the earth is
the eminent remedy. However weak
and Intellectual their first effort might
be, time and steady application would
do wonders for them. Their bones
would become solid, muscles wiry, ten
dons elastic, skin clear, blood flowing
freely from center to.extremity, brain
vigorous. thought practical, habits sim
pie, moral sense acute"

No More Mocha.

It is probable that before long the
famous Mocha coffee will disappear from
the markets of the world, though doubt
less some inferior variety will usurp its
name. The imports have been declining
for some time past and recent italian
consular report makes known that the
once fourishing Mocha Tor Mokkah, as
the writer calls it) is now reduced to a
group of sixty poor huts, with about
400 inhabitant who have hard work to
keep body and soul together. The cof-
fee plantations are lying waste and soil
uncultivated and the once busy harbor
is full of sand. All the European mer-
chants have departed save one italian,
and he is engaged, not in exporting cof-
fee, but in importing Europesn wares
for the Arabians.

List and Chopin.

One evening, when several artists were
all assembled together, Liszt played one
Of Chopin's pieces, to which he added
some mbellishments of his own. When
he had finished Chopin said, SCI beg of
you, my dear friend, when you do me
the honor of playing my compositions,
to play them as they are written, or not
at all" "Play it yourself, then, said
List, rising from the piano rather
piqued. s'With pleasure" answered
Chopin. At this moment moth ex-
tinguished the lamp. They were going
to relight it, when Chopin said, '.No,
put out the lights-the moonlight is
enough"
Then he began to improvise, and
played for nearly an hour, with such
power and feeling that his audience
were moved to tears. Liszt, much af-
fected, embraced Chopin. saying. ''You
are right my friend; works like yours
ought not to be meddled with. You are
true poet" ooh, that is nothing"
said Chopin gravely. ''We have each
our own style; that is all the difference
between us" This total absence of
petty rivalry seems to have character
lied both Chopin and his most intimate
friends.

An Abused Wife.
Texas Siftings.1


A melancholy looking woman with a
painful expression about the corners of
her mouth, applied to Col. Sam Scudder,
an Austin lawyer, for divorce.
''What are your grounds for divorce?'
s'My husband gets drunk all the time.
It's dreadful for sober, Woodworking
women like myself to have drunken
husband"
81 suppose you have witnesses who
know he drinks to excess"
witnesses! we'll, should say so. I
can prove his drunkenness by myself. :"
"Of course, you have frequently seen
him in an intoxicated condition."
"Why have to go to the grocery all
day long, bringing him one bottle after
another. Some days I bring him half a
dozen bottles in one day"
"Good heavens! Does he drink that
much whisky? No wonder you want a
DIVORCE"
The woman, looking around to see
that nobody was listening, and then she
said in confidential whisper:
"He don't get all Of it. You see
drink up about two-t thirds of the bottle
before I give it to him, and then I fill it
up with water. If it wasn't for that ]
couldn't live with him another day. !

Concerning Cremation.

Possibly you think that your body
belongs to you; but it does not, or at
least it has been decided recently in
that you cannot order what dis.
position shall be made of your ssremalns"
after death, Here is the case; A fine
old English gentleman directed by his
will that within three days after his
death, or as soon as conveniently might
be, his body should be given up to q
young woman to be dealt with as he had
directed in a private letter to that lady.
He also bequeathed to her among other
objects Of artistic interest, certain
Wedgewood vase, to be applied to the
purposes mentioned in the letter referred
to, and directed that any costs or ex-
penses which might beincurred in carry
ing out his instructions should be paid
by the executors. The letter directed
that his body should be given up to the
lady after death, and set forth that the
testator would like to be burned con, or
rather under pile of wood" 'sThe
calcined bones" It added scan easily be
collected when the ashes are cold, and I
should like to put them in the Wedge
wood vase I have named In the codicil.
If this would not hold them, the female
designated was to procure any other sort
Of vase, provided it were not metallic,
or If metallic, not precious, for, as the
latter wrote, lyon know my preference
for earthenware. The testator died,
and Notwithstanding protest made by
his female friend, was buried Gin uncon-
secrated ground" The persistent woman
subsequently applied for permission to
remove the body for the purpose of Gre
nation, or in order that it might be rein
TERED in "consecrated" ground, The
first part of the request was uncondition-
ally refused; but, upon specifying the
spot where she wished the refinement
to take place, license was granted for the
removal of the body. Having once got
possession Of it, she triumphantly took
It to Milan, caused it to be cremated,
and brought the ashes to England in the
vase mentioned in the will. Tine execu-
tors refused to pay the G321 expenses in
CURED in the course of this transaction
and the court sustained them. So the
poor girl had to consume her old friend
at her own cost. Apropos to this matter
of cremation, the following amusing
story is told: An Australian scuatter
had o valuable servant Dick, whose wife
died. Dick cameto his master and said.
ssMust leave, sir. Cant stay where
Kitty is buried, for fear Of her boilya, !"
or ghost. The squatter, to keep his SER
want, offered to burn poor Kitty's body.
This was done, and the ashes were stow
ed away in chest. 1t CHANGED that
some years afterward q slight epidemic
was raging in the family. and, the squat
ter being from home, the lady of the
house went to the chest, and took out
and administered what proved to be an
effective medicine. On the squatter'a
return, she told him what she had done.
But it was thought better to conceal
from the family what turned cut to be
| the fact, that the healing powder was
labeled Poor Kitty's ashes"

An Alderman's Experience.

It was on one of these occasions call
ed ga free blow" Dinner was finally
served. Near together were seated two
gentlemen, one of whom is "city father"
of Massachusetts municipality, while
the other has been twice elected to the
board of which he is member. The
last named piled knife and fork vigor-
ously, and all about him the table was
swept clean of delicacies. Being seat
ed nearest to the kitchen, walters were
waylaid, and things intended for the
plate of his neighbor found the way to
his own. His successor in Office, look
ing upon him with feeling Of which
only admiration was q part, exclaimed,
s'You seem to be doing pretty well,
somehow" ''Yes!' responded tie ex-
official, with his heavily-laden fork pois-
ed between plate and mouth, 'sand when
you have been an alderman two years,
