A Fortune Teller's Prediction.

Believers in omens and presenti-
ments will be much interested in two
statements made by the mother of
Mrs. Van Bibber, Of Cincinnati, who
was shot by her husband, as he
claims, under the impression that
she was burglar, but whose death
is by many attributed to his jealousy
and anger. She spent the last sum-
mer with her mother at Circleville,
Indiana, and when her husband came
for her, she was reluctant to return.
When the carriage was ready for the
railroad train, she threw her arms
about her mothers neck and Sob
bed,-
"Oh, mamma, 1 feel az II I were
going to my own funeral and would
never see you again."
At this moment some one cried
OUT
"Come on, or we will leave you
behind"
"That's just what / want you to
do" replied the mother.
The next time her mother saw her,
her daughter was corpse. When
she was young girl, long before
her marriage, and living at home
with her parents, she visited gypsy
camp near by, and had her fortune
told. The fortune-teller refused to
tell her the whole of her fate, until
further fee persuaded her. Then
she said,-
"You will marry. You will live
unhappily, and will be shot"
The girl and her companions
laughed heartily at this improbable
story, but it all came true.

Material for Egg Shells,

When birds are in their wild state,
they have no difficulty in procuring a
supply of material for forming the shells
of the eggs they lay. They have an I'M
limited range, and can pick up particles
of limestone, portions of decomposed
bones, and other substances that can be
converted into the shells of eggs. Wild
birds lay at most only as many eggs as
they can hatch at two sittings. Some
kinds of birds hatch only one brood of
young in a season. Domesticated birds,
especially fowls, produce large num-
Der of eggs in the course of a year.
Some of the nOn-sitting varieties of hens
lay rs many as one hundred and fifty
eggs in year. A largo amount of ma
terial is required to form the shells for
all these eggs. 1t is not contained in
the grain and other kinds of food that
are furnished fowls, especially those
kept in confinement. As consequence,
they lay eggs that have very thin shells,
or no shells at all. The eggs that have
thin shells are liable to break in the nests,
or during removal from place to place.
Fowls, whether allowed to run at large
or kept in close quarters, should be sup
piled with materials for forming shells.
The best substance for forming egg
shells is bone-dust. 1t should be pre-
pared from fresh bones. The next best
material to entire bones pulverized is
made by burning bones, and then re-
ducing them to powder or small grains.
The pulverized shells of oysters and
CLANS are very good, and fair and
cheap substitute for either of them is
found in marble-dust that can be OBJ
tanned of the manufacturers of grave
stones and monuments. Air-slaked lime
should be furnished fowls for forming
egg-shells, if no better material can be
readily obtained.

FORGOT the Oysters.

"Why are you sad, Beryl?'
The girl turned her head slightly az
these words were spoken, and as her lis.
some figure with its rounded curves and
beautiful flesh tints stood sharply out
lined, clear and perfect as a cameo. in
the moOnbeams that were falling in a
silver spray through the branches of the
linden trees, the sight was indeed a
pretty one. George w. Simpson looked
at her earnestly moment, and saw that
tears were yelling up in the dusky
brown eyes, and sobs that could not be
restrained CONFUSING the girlish form.
why should not be sad?" she said.
1.-THE sweet summer is dying. There
arc hollows in her fair cheeks; pathet-
ic droOp about the ripe red lips, dark
shadows beneath the lovely eyes. And
already across the hazy hills Autumn
peers, berry-stains on her brown, slim
fingers, purple vines trailing about her,
scarlet buds and golden-red for the cor
Onal, and broken reed for her sceptre.
Already the hollows are brimmed with
amber haze and the hilltops crowned
with blue smoke. The sun looks Ian
guidly through dream-clOuds; yellow

dent birds fly southwark ere yet the first
frost makes the fruit ruddy and ripens
the haZelnuts in the hedges, ere yet the
sumac catches some bleod-drops from
the heartwound of fainting summer. and
the aster looks with blue and wistful
eyes from the woodland PATH
ut is indeed time fraught with sug-
gcstions that are mournful," said
George, "but surely there is one CLEAN
of hope. one little ray of golden sun
shine amid all the mists and Clouds
and, bending over the girl in loving
fashion, he whispered word in her
ear.
A smile chased away the respondent
look, and the tears that dimmed starry
eyes Were quickly dashed away. Put
ting her arms around Georges neck,
Beryl murmured softly and with n look
of perfect trust: ..You are right, sweet
heart; l had forgotten the Oysters."-

A Pope's Visitors.

Plus TX. had some amusing expert
ences. 1t is related that not ..long be-
fore his death very stout lady went to
see him week after week. Being at times
irritable from the state of his nerves, he
said on one occasion: What, madam,
are you here AGAIN. Yes she replied,
faith brings me here. your holiness
'Ah!' said the pope, you English know
your bibles well. suppose you remem-
bered that it was written there that
faith removes mountains" Upon one
occasion an Englishman went to pay his
respects to him, who could speak no
language but his own. Prior to going
he had endeavored carefully to commit
TO memory the terms he was told he
should address him in. However, on
presentation, he got into terrible state
of nervousness, and forgot everything
Sacred, in English, was the only word
that would come to his memory. This
he attempted to translate into French,
and what he eventually succeeded in
calling the holy father, who burst into
an uncomfortable fit of laughter, was
''Sacre Pere.'

Wholesale Destruction,

In cutting down and burning our for
ests, we have gone to work in free
booter style which has brought Meme
sis in its train; for now. after a century
or two of this sort of work. we are wax
ing up to the fact that our once bound
less woods are disappearing, and that
we are likely to suAer no little loss
thereby. But it is only the few who
seem now to have any adequate sense
of our condition as affected by the
threatened loss of the trees. A re-
cent publication coolly sets forth the fact
that the present enormous consumption
of trees for this purpose may be con-
tinued ten or fifteen years longer before
the forests will be destroyed. The I'M
concern in regard to the future shown
in this is very noticeable. "After us,
the deluge." A corresponding feeling,
though working on n much smaller
scale, is seen in an advertisement, and
of n class often appearing in our older
States: "Brace up, young man! You
have lived on your parents long enough.
Buy this farm, cut off the wood, haul it
to market, get your money for it, and
pay for the farm. The owner estimates
that there will be five hundred cords of
market wood" And so, all over the
country, on the large scale and on the
email, the axe is laid at the roots of the
trees, and our forests are disappearing.
1t is estimated that eight million acres
of forest land are cleared every year,
and that in the ten years previous to
1876, twelve million acres were burned
over simply to clear the land. Surely it
is time that this wholesale destruction
should be checked, if only for the sake
of those who come after us.

How Old Ned's Son Brought Shame on tho

Old Ncd's son returned from college
the other day. The Did man had looked
forward to the event, and had arranged
dinner, to which he invited large
number of acquaintances. The young
man was modest, and to the great
humiliation of his father made no at

last he saw no evidences of his sons

An Architectural Paradnx.

Wood joists are being used in the
construction of large building on Wal
nut street, Philadelphia, in preference
to iron. to guard against danger in case
of fire. Strange as such statement
may appear, says the Record. it is a
matter of fact that many New England
builders contend that the wood joists,
encased in plaster, are proof against
any ordinary fire, and for many reasons
are much preferred by them TO the Or
binary regulation fire-proof iron joists.
The joists are ''stripped'' on the outside,
and over these strips irons are run, and
on these the plaster is spread. The
theory is, that in an ordinary fire, ioists
thus treated will be fire-proOf, and only
when the fire has reached such fury
that the building must go anyway will
they be affected. Here comes in one of
the advantages claimed for them. When
a building is being burned by furious
fire. the iron joists expand and crush
out the walls and do other damage.
The wood joists would simply be burned
up without injuring the walls at all.

Eat Your Breakfast First.

DIR. Hall is authority for the following
thoughts upon breakfasting before much
exercise in the open air, particularly in
districts where fever and ague are
abundant: Breakfast should be eaten in
the morning before leaving the house
for exercise or labor of any description;
those who do it will be able to perform
more work and with greater alacrity
than those who work an hour or two
before breakfast. Beside this, the aver
age duration of life of those who take
breakfast before exercise or work will
be Il number of years greater than those
who do otherwise. Most persons begin
to feel weak after having been engaged
five or six hours in their ordinary avoca-
tons; a good meal revigorates; but
from the last meal of the day until the
next morning there is an interval of
some twelve hours; hence the body in n
sense is weak, and in proportion cannot
resist deleterious agencies, whether of
the fierce cold of mid-winter or of the
poisonous miasm which rests upon the
surface of the earth wherever the sun
shines on blade of vegetation or a
heap of offal. The miasm is more solid,
CouSCHtttICt
malignant, about sunrise and sunset
than any other hour of the twenty-four,
because the cold of the night condenses
it. and it is on the first few inches above
the soil in its most solid form; but rs
the sun rises, it warns and expands and
ascends to point high enough to be
brcathed, and being taken into the lungs
and swallowed with the saliva into the
stomach, all weak and empty as it is. it
is grccdily drunk in, thrown Immediate
ly into the circulation of the blood, and
carried to every part of the body, de-
posting its poisonous influence at the
very fountain head of life. If early
breakfast were taken in regions where
chills and fever and ague prevail, and
if, in addition, brisk fire were kindled
in the family room for an hour, includ-
ing sunrise and sunset, these trouble
some maladies would diminish in any
one year, not ten fold, but a thousand
fold, because the heat of the fire would
rarely the miasmatic air instantly and
send it above the breathing point. But
it is troublesome" to be building fires
night and morning all summer; It being
no trouble" requiring no effort. to
shiver and shake by the hour, weeks
and months together.

How She Won Him.

word it could not be matched. Well,

A Queer Father.

Recently, according to the Pilot, a
man well-known in Manitowoc walked
into a drugstore and asked for some
drug that would speedily send" his
Youngest child ito Kingdom come"
He said he had fourteen children, and
although the youngest, an infant, was
likely to die, he feared it might live,
and therefore wanted the fatal drug in
order to end all doubts in the case. The
man urged that it would be a misfor-
tune for him and his family if the baby
should live, and seemed to think he was
proposing to do good instead of COM
NIT crime. Of course this unspeaka-
bly, curious parent did not secure the
required drug; but had he succeeded
and killed his child for the benefit, as
he supposed, of his family, how far
would he be moral and how far an ac-
tual criminal.
