Something IN The Red.

John Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. One night somehow it
slipped down, and as the Judge was
restless it worked its way down to-
ward the foot of the bed. After a bit,
while he was lying awake, his foot
touched it it felt very cold /; he was
surprised, scared, and jumping from
the bed he said "My gracious Maria,
there's toad or something under the
covers. / touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream and
was on the floor in an instant. "Now
don't go hOllering and waking up the
neighbors," said the judge. "You get
broom or something and We'll fix the
thing mighty quick" Mrs. Pitman
got the broom and gave it to the judge,
with the remark that she felt as
though snakes were creeping up and
down her legs and back. "Oh, non
sense, Maria Now turn down the COW
ers slowly while | hold the broom and
bang it. Put IA bucket of water along
side the bed, so that we can shove it
in and drown it." Mrs. Pitman fixed
the bucket and gently removed the
covers. The Judge held the broom
uplifted, and as the black ribbon of
the silver watch was revealed he
cracked away at it three or four times
with the broom, then he pushed the
thing off into the bucket. Then they
took the light to investigate the mat
ter. When the judge saw what it was
he said 81 might have known it is

and fussing about nothing. It's utter

Husband and Wife.

In the majority of homes in this
country the husband and wife must
work. 1t is for the family and for the
common good, and should be not only
without harm to either of them, but a
positive good to both. A good deal OF
thoughtfulness on the part of the hus-
band and a large disregard of Mrs.
Grundy by both husband and wife,
should go far to relieve the matter.
The work of the husband is outside.
1t takes him into daily contact with his
fellow men. He is at the village store,
at the post-office, at the blacksmith
shop, at the grist-mill. His work va
ries with seasons, and it is carried on
amid the songs of birds and the sough
of the wind. He must sometimes bide
the storm, also.
The toll of the wife is an unvarying
round. Little children are born, but
the work goes on all the same, with
the added labor that each child brings
But if with this there could be an Oc-
casiOnal "outing," genuine apprecia-
ton of her work and sympathy ex-
pressed for her in its performance, and
generous sharing of the common gain
or income, it would greatly relieve the
tedium and care of the work that de-
wolves on her. Woman's Journal.

Poor Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them they
have been taught to despise labor and
depend on others for living, and are
perfectly helpless. If misfortune
comes upon their friends, as it often
does, their case is hopeless. The most
forlorn and miserable women upon
earth belong to this class. 1t belongs
to parents to protect their daughters
from this deplorable condition. They
do them a great wrong if they neglect
it. Every daughter should be taught
to earn her own living. The rich as
well as the poor require this training.
The wheel of fortune turns swiftly
around-the rich are likely to become
poor, and the poor rich. Skill to la
Dor is no disadvantage to the rich, and
is indispensable to the poor. Well-to-
do parents must educate their daugh-
ters to work no reform is more i'm
perative than this American Farm
er. Is there anything in the above
that does not apply equally and with as
much force to rich mems sons

ROuSing Bells.

The occasion of the petitions for
legislation to permit rOusing bells to
be rung is the decision of the supreme
court upon the petition of Charles G..
Davis of Plymouth, few months ago,
commented upon by the Republican at
the time, restraining a factory from
disturbing the morning nap of Mr..
Davis. The petitioner is an old gen
tleman whose morning rest is precious
and lie appealed successfully to the
supreme court to protect him in its un-
disturbed enjoyment.
The tradition that the night was de
signed for slumber is thus supported
by the highest judicial authority in
the state, and the legislature ought to
think twice before OverthrOwing that
presumption. Peoples opinions on
this subject will be colOred very much
by local experience. In this city, for
instance, of $4,000 inhabitants largely
devoted TO manufactures, not bell or
other signal disturbs the people till
fifteen minutes of seven, when the bell
of the national armOry rings. At seven
it rings again. Our large manufac-
tories have no bells, and their help is
as prompt, we doubt not, as if it were
rung out of bed, rung to breakfast,
rung up from table and rung to the
shop. They employ all kinds of help
and great numbers of women and
young persons. In other cities, where
cotton and wooden mills preponderate,
every great corporation has its own
bell, and as they do not ring simulta-
neously, there is pretty incessant
ringing from five o'clock in the morn
ing on. Probably those thus awakened
consider themselves dependent on the
signal which alarms them, but if the
habit is once fixed with adults of rising
at "A certain hour, the mind or the
physical system furnishes its own
rousing bells. Thus with the great
multitude of farmers and other early
riSers in the country, no bell is neces-
sary.
The whole matter depends on Gus
tom. Those who are not accustomed
to be awakened by bells get up, we ven
ture to say, with us much regularity
and as little loss of time or sleep as
those who imagine the bell awakes
| them. Nervousness is the disease OF
the age and protests against any more
whistling, bell-ringing and horn blow
ing than is necessary, especially in the
hours devoted by nature and by the
majority of humanity to rest. The
same consideration should weigh
against needless clangOr in day time,
such as the ringing of church and
convent bells at needless hours. Time
pieces are so universal in our time
both public and private, that extra
bells to mark time are superfuous.-

Chinese LabOrerS.

There is a mistaken notion in the
east that the Chinese are always hum
BILE and submissive, and much put up
on and abused by the whites of the Pa
cific coast. There was time when
the hoOdlums of San Francisco NAL
treated the Asiatic immigrants shame
fully, but that time has gone by. Now
the Chinaman appears to be as secure
in his rights of person and property as
anybody. Instead of being deferential
and timid he is often pushing and insO-
lent. He does not give way in the
street. He hustles you as rudely as an
English navy. A body of Chinese la
bOrers marching down a narrow street
will crowd ladies into the gutter. The
Chinese merchants, doctors and Others
belonging to the better classes are as
polite as Frenchmen, but the masses of
the Chinese population on the Pacific
coast are rude and brutal. The chief
thing in their favor is their habit
of personal cleanliness. The railroad
laborers, who are the poorest and most
ignorant class, wash themselves from
head to foot at the end of each day.
work. All classes are frequent custO-
mers of the barber, who gives minute
attention to the heads, faces, ears and
necks.
Among the common labOrers there is
little sympathy for sick and injured

his gang want to get rid of him as soOr

Put teaspoonful of flour of brim-
stone in a wine glass full of water and
stir with the finger instead of a spoon,

mixed give it as a gargle, and in two
minutes the patient is out of danger.
Birthstone kills every species of fungus

gle, swallowing is better. In extreme
cases, when the fungus is too nearly
closed to allow gargling, blow the sui

and after the fungus has shrunk follow

One Of Ben. Buffers Franks

Ben. Butler relates one of his college
pranks in breaking up an abolition
meeting. We students went into the
country and paid an old farmer 80
cents to let us catch in his barn all the
swallows we wanted. We got a dOz-
en-, or so, and on the night of the meet
ing a number of us were present, dis
tributed iudiciously about the room,
each boy with a swallow in his pocket
The church was lighted by Old-fash-
ioued chandeliers, holding each five
or six whale oil lamps. At given
signal, when the services were under
way, the swallows were let loose, and
almost in the twinkling of an eye, out
went the lights. The birds of course
went for the lights, and the rush of air
caused by their wings put out the
lamps. We kissed girl or two and
they of course shrieked. All was com
motion and confusion for few mo-
ments. Then the moderator of the
meeting demanding silence, said that
some unaccountable accident had put
out the lights, but that the audience
mnst sit quiet and preserve order, and
the lamps would soon be lighted.
The sexton hurried away for torch
there were no lucifer matches Ill
