A husbands S Love.

1t is easy enough to win husband.
Most any attractive little dumpling
with a bright eye and coaxing voice
can gather in noble husband, but it
is pretty difficult to retain him. Noble
husbands are thicker than hair on a
dog, but the grand difficulty is to
draw out their true nobility and Sc
cure it at home.
If the wife only understands her
business she can introduce the sooth-
ing racket in her new field of opera
ton AID walk away with the whole
business. Most men like to be loved
and soothed. There is something in
the mans great, rough, earnest nature
that can be won quicker and easier
with gentleness and pie than with the
logic of the broom handle and a bill.

The Sunday Rest.

Here is the experience Of Col. H.
". Payne, civil engineer, in regard to
resting upon the Sabbath: "Some
years since, before railroad was built,
or stage line established across the
plains, there was large emigration to
California overland. The necessary
supplies were carried by horses, males
and oxen, which obtained their sub
sistence from the grass that grew not
! too plentifully along the route. Hav-
ing passed beyond the limits of civili-
zation, and havlrg left churches and
religious institutions behind, the re-
straints of the Sabbath were soon for
gotten by the most and all days were
alike employed in diligent march
onward. The company of which l
was a member, however halted for one
or two Sabbaths. Stopping one Sun-
day near where several of the routes
converged one of our company counted
one hundred and ninety-seven teams
that passed during the day. The idea
of losing our advance position flor we
had started early in the season., and
week by week getting farther behind,
was not relished. The best of grass,
if not all of it, would be used up by
those ahead of us. The absence of any
religious services and other reasons
were adduced against stopping, and
those who were in favor of resting
were in the minority. But, after the
days rest, on resuming our journey
next morning, were not little surpris-
ed at the rapid gate of our teams as COM
pared with those of other companies.
In two days We had overtaken and pas
sed more teams than had passed us on
Sunday; and all the week through we
We added to the number. When the
next Sunday came around every'voice
was for resting all day, and so we con-
tinued to observe the Sabbath all the
way through. | afterward compared
notes with other similar trains that
travelled every day, and found that not
only were they weeks longer in per-
forming the journey, but that they
had lost many of their cattle and hor-
ses IN crossing the last desert, while
the rest were disabled when they ar
rived at their journeys end, because
in SO poor condition. Ours, on the
other hand, arrived in good condition,
and readily sold for good price"

Eown the vista of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sageS,
Marching onward, slow aud solemn,
Go in never-ending column
Here the honest, here the knave,
With rythmetic step sublime,
To the grave.

Going on and on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant straying,
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,

For "a moment break the measure;

Since the morning Of creation,
Without break or terml nation,

All the love aud all the loving,
All that mothers ever gave
On 10 silence and 10 slumber.

Here no bride the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for hImSelf-uO other.
Son nor father; no, nor brother
Love the purest cannot save
Each alone the roll must answer,

Shakespeare's Story of the Bond.

Whether it is the record of an actual
occurrence, it is alike immaterial and
impossible to determine. Certain it
is that both the facts and the law of
the case are substantially historical.
They precisely represent views con-
corning contract, criminal liabilities
and law reform, which, however,
absurd they may appear to us, have
widely prevailed, and must be regard
ed as characteristic of certain early
stages of intellectual development.
In the bond itself, as it was regarded
by the interested parties, were recog-
nlze the substance of the debter's life
pledging contract which filled so large
a place in the commercial economy of
ancient societies. AS means of
securing the payment of debt, the
pledging ones life and the lives of the
members of ones family, in the history
of many races, preceded in order of
development the pledging of property
the right to legal process against
the person likewise becoming establish
ed as means of collection before pro-
cess against property was known to the
law. 1t was so with the Romans. The
persons, that lives, of the debtor md
his family were long considered by
them as the creditors normal security.
1t was fully four centuries from the
foundation ofthe city before the Roman
creditor was entifiI
the debtors consent, -, -
the latter's property except such as
had been delivered to the creditor in
pledge. 1t would be interesting to in
quire why remedies against the person
thus preceded those against property;
and, though too remote and obscure y
problem for treatment, here, we may
hazard, in passing, the conjecture that
the explanation is to be found in the
generally communistic form of primi-
tive property. When all property was
vested in the village tribe or gems, the
individual really had nothing he could
call his own except himself and his
family The idea that the creditors
remedy was exclusively against the
person being thus engendered, would,
through the sluggishness of the primi-
tive intellect, continue to subsist long
after its original cause had been re-
moved by the institution ofindividual
property.

Tho outbreak of what is known as
spienic fever, in this State and in Penn
syivdnii, has caused considerable alarm
among drovers and large cattle owners.
About Pittsburg it has proved very IA

monty known as Texas fever, and North
ern cattle have taken the disease recent
" in most cases where they have come
iii contact with Texas cattle. 1t is q dis
case peculiar to the OK tribe, and occurs
among Southern cattle in u mild form
in the early Spring. In others the germs
of the disease remain latent and are de-
veloped with great rapidity when the
animal is subject to shock, such as stam-
pede, or to hardships consequent on rail
road travel. 1t is indigenous to Texas,

cattle. The term OF quarantine is nine
ty days. but the time of the voyage is to
be counted as a part of the period. The
importer has to file bonds in twice the
value OF the animals for the observance
of quarantine restrictions. In connec-
ton with the Federal quarantine, the
War Department in 1880 ceded to the

The Washington Monument.

Progress Of the Work-Tho Signal Office Station
The white, tall; plain shaft of the
Washington monument is foot by foot
daily rising sIZyward, and its compile
ton. in due course OF time, is nov as
sured, says the Washington Post. It is
already landmark visible from any
part of Washington, and the inhabi-
tants. after generation of ridicule, are
beginning to be proud of it. Apart
from its unique character as an archi-
tectural wonder, modern science pro-
poses 10 utilize it for the public benefit.
The sigma! Office expects to have a per-
manent station at its summit, and its
officers say that observations of the air
and atmospheric movements taken at
an altitude of $50 feet will be of great
value. Observations are taken, of course,
at far greater attitudes than this, but
the gradual slope of even the most
precipitous mountains and the presence
of large masses OF rock near the obSer-
vatory create surface currents, even on
mountain heights, and interfere with
the study OF phenomena OF the higher
levels of the atmosphere. 1t has often
Dcen proposed to institute series of
experiments by means of captive bal
Icons, but the expense of such work
prevented the plans being carried out.
At the time of the centennial it was
proposed to erect a skeleton tower to
the height of 1000 feet in Fairmount
park. Had this been done the signal
officers would have utilized the observ-
atory for the benefit of meteorological
science, but the tower stopped at 800
feet. The signal officers say it would
not be impracticable to build q tower
1000 feet high or even higher, and that
the erection OF such tower would be
of great service. The monument is now
290 feet high. The original design con-
templated height of 500 feet, but at
p meeting of the commissioners two
years ago, when it was decided to re-
sumo work, it was voted to make the
monument the loftiest artificial struct-
ure in the world. The commissioners
examined the heights of all the noted
monuments, towers, pagodas, spires,
buildings, and flag-poles, and found
that to safely distance all rivalry a
height of $50 feet would be necessary.
TWAS therefore determined to complete
the shafts on this plan, and the draw
ings were modified to that end. What
was the surprise and qualification of the
commissioners to find subsequently, that
the new proportions of the shaft as now
adopted were exactly those of an Egyp-

Heilbron's Husband,

The Viscount de Ia Panouse, husband
of Nine. Heilbron, the actress, has
adroitly managed to get the better of
his bourse creditors. When the late
crash took place, the couple were sup
posed to beutterly ruined. The viscount
had lost $500,000 and owed $4,000 to
stockholders. He at once gave out his
departure for the cape, while the vis-
countess was to return to the stage dur
ing his absence. But she had no sooner
sold their hotel to pay off some of their
debts than rat was smelt, and the vis-
count, who had made over everything to
his wife, was found to be living like
fighting cock in quiet little village in
Auvergne. The stockholders forthwith
sued him. His counsel, however, took
advantage of the code, which admits
certain bourse speculations to be illegal,
and the court has non-suited the plain
titfs on that ground.

Late Tests With Improved Gatlings

Thorough test trials have been in
progress at Sandy Hook with DR.. Cat
ling improved guns, before the United
States Ordnance Board, for the past two
weeks. These trials, which have been
eminently successful, may be prolonged
for another week. DIR. Calling was
present during the first ten days. The
new feed allows the musket-caliber Cat
ling to be fired at any degree Of eleva-
tion. The penetration at 5000 yards
was through one and half inches of
timber, and at $500 yards (giving the
gun 56 degrees eleyation), the bullets
struck the targets (Which were com
posed of boards lying flat on the ground)
passing through two one-inch boards
penetrating the sand four inches. AT
1000 yards-G63 elevation-the bullets
passed through two one-inch boards
and five or six inches in the sand. In
every case the bullets struck the targets
point on and retained their rotary mo-
tion. This was proved by the spiral
scratches on the balls after they had
passed through the boards The gun is
now being tried at shorter ranges
These experiments have established the
fact that a Gatling gun fired at various
elevations can kill men in entrenched
positions at all ranges from 100 to 81
800 yards. The elevation required for
different distances is determined by q
quadrant and noted. As the gun re.
mains quite steady while being fired
the bullets can be made to drop at the
point desired. The value of such 8
weapon of warfare is unquestioned. DR.
Gatling's new torpedo, one-barreled gun
was also fired and worked well, making
excellent targets at one mile range

Mouutaineers and Turkevs.


The mode of hunting wild turkeys,
adopted by the Blue Mountain hunters
! of Tennessee, is to corn suitable
part Of the woods frequented by the
birds generally in old clearings-
Corning is simply the scattering of corn
upon the ground and making choice
feeding places, that the turkeys, which
fly in fiocks, are not long in discovering.
When hunter discovers the presence
of a flock in his ''field'' he corns it. and
generally feels certain that in time he
will have every one of the turkeys
bagged. When the clearing is scattered
with the corn, the hunter takes posi-
ton in it from which he has view of
! the feeding-place, but where he cannot
be seen by the birds. The turkeys drop
into the clearing with a great futter
and much gobbling by the males. The
hunter picks out the bird he wishes to
secure on the ground, and another at
which he will shoot when they rise. He
shoots the one on the ground and the
other in the air. Large shot are used,
and heavy charges of powder, as the
feathers of the game are very close and
the skin tough. A skilful hunter rarely
fails to bring down his two birds, but
novice usually sees both birds take
wing without any apparent damages
from his charges. It is almost useless
to try to get g. shot at flock of turkeys
by flushing them, as their hearing and
sight are extremely acute, and flock
always gets up and removes itself from
harms way long before the hunter is
within gunshot.
But while so willy in that respect, they
lack all semblance of shrewdness in
visiting the ''corned'' places. No mat
ter how large a flock is, it will continue
being reduced in number by regularly
visiting the place in the morning where
it was shot at the evening before, and
in the evening after having been shot in
to in the morning. This is kept up I'M
til only one bird comes to feed where
all OF its companions were killed
Sometimes, when a pair of turkeys re-
main, the two will join another flock,
and accompany it to the feeding place
it has selected.
There are many pot-hunters among
the Blue Mountain people who trap,
snare, and net the turkeys, and the le-
gitimate sportsmen destroy scores of
their traps and nets every season.
HAWKS uuu loAeS ueSGFOy many turkeys.
The hawks are of immense size, some
that have been killed measuring six feet
from tip to tip. Wild turkeys weigh
from eight to twenty pounds, and large
numbers are sent from the Blue Noun
tain region to New York and Philadel-
phia markets. Sportsmen from the
cities visit the region every season, and
spend weeks at the cabins of the local
hunters who serve as guides to the
hunting grounds.

A Little Romance of Broadway,

Three pretty young girls from Jersey
City had left the ferry boat to walk up
to the elevated road, says New York
letter, and unluckily were provided
with only one whalebone and silk cov-
ering for their heads. The narrow side
walk made it almost impossible for the
three to walk abreast, and consequently
one of them, who was addressed as An
ME, received all the drippings from the
caves of the umbrella upon her unseltish
head.
A gentleman walking behind them
noticedsothis, and tried, as unobtrusively
as possible, to shelter her with his own.
For block or so she ignored the at
tempt, but finally was forced, in cross
ing the street, to accept the courtesy,
which she did with an embarrassed
bow. 1t happened that the youth had
been well brought up, and understood
her fear lest he should in any way take
advantage of his courtesy to be imperti-
nent. and being of rather mischievous
turn of mind, he waited until he caught
her eye, rs she looked slyly up, when,
assuming that far look so often seen
on the faces of the deaf and dumb, he
pathetically touched his lips, and shook
his head.
The girl looked so immensely relieved
that he came near laughing right. out;
especially when announced that he was
speechless she showed she wasn't by
quietly observing to one of her friends,
''Oh, Mary, isn't it too bad this hand
some young man is deaf and dumb?"
Mary thought it was, and wondered
how it was he ever got along in the
world, and much to the amazement of
this knight of the umbrella, the three
proceeded to discuss him girl-fashion,
and from the color of his eyes to the
cut of his clothes he was fully criticised,
"Annie'' deciding that, as husband,
he would be sans reproche, never swear
ing, never scolding, making silence
golden.
When they reached the station the
three girls bowed and smiled and grim
aced their gratitude, when, to their pro-
found horror, the youth, with sweet
smile, raised his hat, remarking, with
painful distinctness, that he ''was very
happy to have been of service" With
a suppressed shrek. the merry maids
rushed up the winding stairs, and the
youth walked on, whistling Beautiful
Is-er-bellar."
