\ Rich Mau Dies of starvatlon


$50 Jones is dead" said one Somer-
vile man to another, the other day.
Eyes, poor fellow" was the reply; hes
gone" what did he die Cif?" inquired
the first speaker. starvation was the
answer. Starvation Good gracious,
the man was worth $4,000" 81 knew
that; nevertheless, he died Of starva-
ton, I'll tell you how it was; Jones was
always fancying that there was some
thing the matter with him: so he went
to doctor one day and had himself ex-
amined, and the uoctut informed him
that he had kidney disease, and
besides taking medicine must diet
himself Said the doctor: ''You must
avoid all kinds of salt meats,
salt fish, potatoes, cabbage, and
vegetables of every kind" Jones fol-
lowed the advice, but found himself no
better. He went to another doctor,
and after being examined was informed
that he must avoid all kinds of fresh
meats also. This did not do him any
good, as ne thought, and he went to
another doctor, who highly approved
of the advice which had previously been
given, and further warned him against
all kinds ofpastry; likewise shellfish, in
Guiding oysters and clans. 'The best
thing for you is milk diet" said this
doctor; so Jones lived wholly upon
milk. Not feeling himself any better,
he went to another doctor, who cau-
toned him to avoid milk, above all
things, if he wanted to get well. This
reduce | Jones to a diet of cold water
and fresh air, and finding himself no
better upon this regimen, he wen! to
another doctor, who told him to beware
of drinking too much water and being
too much in the air. This last advice
cut OFT the last OF Jones' article of diet,
and he died of starvation, as L have told

STINGY DAvY.-Davy was very pretty
little boy. He had light curly hair, dark
blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. But he was
very stingy. He did not like to share
with his Little brothers and sisters. One
day he went into the kitchen where his
mother was at work, and saw on the table
a saucer of Jelly.
Can l have that jelly?" asked Davy.
MRS. White sent it to me-" said Davy's
mother. 'She has company to dinner,
and made this jelly very nice. But don't
care for it; SO YOU may have it If you
won't be stingy with it,"
Davy took the saucer of jelly and went
out into the yard; but he did not call his
little brothers and sisters TO help him eat
it.
"If divide with them, there won't be
a spoonful apiece" he thought. at
is better for one to have enough than for
each to have Just little"
So he ran 10 the barn and climbed up 10
the loft, where no one would think of
looking for him.
Just rs he began TO eat the jelly he
heard his sister Fannie calling him. But
he did not answer her. He kept very
still.
"They always want some ofeverything l
have" he said 10 himself, "If had just
a ginger-sna they think l ought TO give
them each Il piece"
When the jelly was all eaten, and he
had scraped the saucer clean, Davy went
down into the barn-yard and played with
the little white calf, and hunted for eggs
in the shed where the COWS were. He
was ashamed TO 90 into the house, for he
knew he had been stingy abont the
jelly.
40, Davy," said Fannie, running into
the barn-yard, where have you been this
long timeo We have looked everywhere
for you"
"What did you want?" asked Davy,
thinking that of course, his sister would
say she had wanted him to share the Jelly
with her.
"Mother gave us party" said Fannie.
"We had all the dolls dishes set out on
little table under The big tree by the
porch; and we had Strawberries, cake and
raisins. Just as we sat down to eat, Mrs.
White saw us from the window, and she
sent over big bowl of ice cream and
some Jelly, left from her dinneI. We had
n splendid time. You ought to have been
with u.s." -. -4.t
Poor Davy! How mean he felt And
be was well punished for eating his jelly
all alone.

A CAUTION AGAINST SULPHUR FUMES.
Certain paragraphs are now being
freely copied in the press in regard 10 the
health giving properties of sulphur fumes
emanating fiom manufactures where par
ticular chemical products are made. 1t is
quite desirable, we are told, ito have sui.
that such vapors ought to be regarded as
blessings in disguise. According to the
testimony of unbiased persons, ever since
they have been living in the proximity of
the establishment from which the fumes
arise, they have never suffered from coughs
or colds. Some of these disinterested wit
nesses, persons suffering from pulmonary
diseases, we are informed, have moved to
the sulphurous regions and have been
benefited by the change. But all this
proves nothing, save that sulphur, when
absorbed into the human system, shows
certain effects. 1t is all very we'll, when
n person has cold in the head, to snuff
sulphur fumes, and thereby receive some
relief, for the properties of this substance
are quite well known. 1t is quite probable,
too, that if man subject to a peculiar
skin disease were to work in sulphur
factory his cure would be rapid. But 1t is
a case where the cure might In time be
worse than the disease. 1t is not question
of quality, but of quantity. Sulphurous
acid in the air-for in that condition it is
always produced in quantity when sui
phur is burned-is not an innocuous SUBJ
stance, but very dangerous and corrosive,
and is quite as destructive of animal tissue
as sulphuric acid. There are innumerable
substances which, If taken occasionally or
in small doses, can do no harm, but when
absorbed in a wholesale way, and for
long time, they simply kill.

A BEARS WINTER NAP.-Mr. James
Hopper, of Edwardsburg. is the happy
possessor of a year old bear, for which he
has snug quarters prepared in the shed.
On the Gil of last Decem ber, his bearship,
no doubt feeling drowsy, retired to his
quarters, and much to the surprise of his
owner, refused TO be coaxed out again
even savoy dishes placed at the door OF
his box had not the slightest effect upon
him. Weeks passed into months, and still
bruin remained in state of lethargv,
until people began to look forward to the
17th of March, when all we'll regulated
bears are supposed 10 come forth and look
for their shadows. But alas! for the old
story, he came not forth, ard it was not
until the 28th of the month that he conde-
scended TO poke his brown nose out and
partake of little mi TX, and not until the
9th of April that he may BE- said to have
parlaken of a square meal. HIS long fast
does not seem to have disagreed with him,
as he looks just as well as ever.-Irescott,

indeed, half the world do not know how
little mud hut, the floor of earth and the
walls ofmud bricks. The roof is of shingles,

this bed we sleep. There is Ii rude fire.

complete the list of furniture. The wash
stand is unique-a piece of cactus stump
with a broad shingle top, on which rests a
tin basin. Boxes with shelves nailed in
ornament the walls and serve for dressing
tables, closets, etc. We take our meals in
a tent. The cook is Chinese, of course.
and very good meals he serves us-much
better than are obtained at some railway
stations. This is wild, picturesque spot,
ON a high plateau, surrounded by noun
tain peaks, looking down upon either side
into deep gulches. The country about is
devoid of verdure, except the "scrub''
mesquite and chapparal and peculiar
species of cacti, resembling sentinel!
standing about as they do, solitary shafts
with occasional arms. Some of them
look almost human, an eXcrescence form
ing Il sort of head, and branches like
arms protruding at about the distance
from the head that arms should grow
They are very weird in the starlight
The queer looking Mexicans one meets
with lhc broad brimmed sombrero ano
blanket about the shoulders, recalls to
mind the dandies of the play, and invol
unfairly ones heart beats quick with feal
at the meeting. Every now and then the
lhud Of distant blasting makes one
imagine battle afur. During the day
tramp over the hills, and at night watch
for the beautiful sunset which floods the
