The Drivers Ruse.

Montana papers relate that one day
the stage was on its way from Deer
Lodge to Missoula, and was passing
over the Flint Creek hills, when the
cold was so intense that the only PAS
sengers, a woman and her little child,
were in danger Of freezing to death.
The mothers heart was so worked
upon by the condition Of her child that
she placed around the babe all her
wraps. The driver saw that drowsi-
ness, the first stage of freezing, had
fallen upon the woman. He put his
coat around her, but her blood seemed
to be standing still. Then he grew
harsh, seized the woman, dragged her
from the coach and left her by the
roadside. "Oh, my babyp7 the mother
cried. The driver cracked his whip.
The stage flew over the snow, with the
woman running afGer. The race wa
kept up for nearly two miles, when
the driver took the mother in and
again wrapped his coat around her.
By this skillful ruse he hal warmed
her blood and saved her life.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Action may not always bring hap
piness, but there is no hap piness with
out action.
Don't judge man by his speech,
for a parrot talks, for the tongue is
but an instrument of sound.
Men spend their lives in the service
of their passions, instead of employing
their passions in the service Of their
lives.
When necessity ends, curiosity be-
gins; and no sooner are we supplied
with everything that nature can de-
mand than we sit down to contriYe ar
tifcial appetites.
No hing so increases ones reverence
for others as a great sorrow to ones
self. It teaches one the depths of
human nature. In happiness we are
shallow, and deem others so.
The innocence that walks blindly on
amid earth's snares and pitfalls is an
uncertain possession; the innocence
that recognizes evil, but turns from it
with dread and aversion. is priceless

Nswspaner Mistakes.

The Poughkeepsie IN. " Eagle, in
an article on 'sHow Mistakes Happen
in Newspapers" figures up the mum
Der of type used in newspaper the
size of the Eagle at 6000OO-that is,
the actual number of bits of metal ar
ranged for each newspaper in prepar-
ing a newspaper of that size for til
press. We suppose few people think
of the printing trade as one of the most
exact and particular handicrafts, but
it is. In making type variations that
might be allowed in the finest ma
chinery would render type useless. 1t
is very rarely that the type furnished
by two separate foundries can be used
together without great deal of
trouble, even though they should try to
makeit after the standard We read ono
in a while of a wonderful piece of cab
met or mosaic work, containing ten
twenty or $4,000 pieces, the maker of
which has spent months, or even years,
Of labor in producing it, and the people
go to see it as curiosity; but the most
elaborate and carefully-ftted piece Of
work Of this kind does not compare,
for minuteness of detail and accuracy
Of fitting, with that which the printer
does every day. The man who does
the first is looked upon as a marvel Of
skill, and if hundred Of his pieces are
put in wrong side up, or turned
around, it is not noticed in the general
effect; but if the printer, in fitting ten
times as many pieces together in sin
gle day, puts one where another should
be or turns one the wrong way. every
body sees it, and is amazed at the
Z stupid carelessness Of those printers

The Floods and the Forests.

The sudden occurrence of the great
Ohio food upon a scale unknown in
the records Of the rivers
risings suggests some import
ant inquiries. The long series Of
Smithsonian rainfall reports show that
the principal minimum of the yearly
precipitation in the Ohio valley takes
place as arule early in February. Why
there has been an exception to therule
this year is not easy to explain fully.
One thing, however, seems clear. The
fierce food which burst from the
western 1opes of the Alleghanies and
raised the level Of the river at Pitts
burg nine feet in a single day, was the
beginning of the great inundation-
This rise Of the mountain streams
should be traced apparently to the
snow melting effects Of the warm
wave, which carried its moist southerly
winds, with a temperature Of over sixty
degrees, against the western sides and
through the passes of the Alleghanies.
The water thus suddenly disengaged
from the frozen state on the noun
tains and sent on its disastrous way to
the sea was considerably increased in
volume by the subsequent heavy rain
falls.
1t is not strange that such conspir-
ing forces have brought about the un-
paralleled overflow. But the rapidity
with which the work Of destruc-
tion at and below Cincinnati
has been done-in less than a fortnight
from the swelling of the Ohio's head
waters-is hard to explain. The theory
that forests largely increase the con-
densation Of yapor in the clouds has
not been fully made out. But it Is
certain thst the wholesale clearing Of
the soil, especially over a vast elevated
watershed like that drained by the
Ohio, greatly facilitates tie rush Of
waters into the valleys and precipitates
the flood. In 1878 it was reported by
one Of the government surveyors that
Great Salt Lake then averaged ten
feet above its level in 1847, and it was
suggested that the settlement Of the
surrounding country had SO modified
the surface Of the land that more snow
and rain found its way into the lake
1t is, Of course, impossible to stop the
process Of deforesting. but it may be
regulated. Every year that it goes on
unimpeded in the Ohio valley enhances
the danger of frequent and fatal floods,
and the statesmen Of the West viii I'd
well to inquire whether it would not be
better to encourage the Importation Of
lumber than, BY denuding their country
of its woods, to expose it to increas-
ingly devastating fIoods.-Nss0 TorE

BAKING Babies in India.
Journal

Miss Stagg, a missionary in India
writes: One Of my pupils named
Macon (Which means butter), said to
me. after her lessons were finished:
"Oh, men you must not go away
without seeing khookil' r (Girl babies
are called khookhies and boys are
khookas.) 1 am very fond Of babies,
so 1 readily consented to see khooki.
We went down the street across a very
dirty court, and then Macon stopped
at the door of little room, adjoining
a shed where cows were housed. She
opened door and l looked in, and
saw just one mat covering the floor,
on which lay baby and baby's MAN.

Of humanity, and I told her mamma
that 1 thought her very pretty.
ooh" said she, "she will
soon be black like the rest
of us after have put her out in the
sun for few days." Just think!
Every newborn babe has its body well
smeared with mustard oil, and is then
put out in the sun to dry. l inter
ceded for baby, and Macon promised
she would prevent them from doing
such a dreadful thing.
/ have seen very young babies, after
having been oiled, put out in the hot,
Indian sun on a bit of board, with only
a bit Of cotton cloth placed under the
head for pillow; it is really wonder
that SO many live to grow up. The
mothers / have sometimes remon-
strated with. They are always much
surprised to hear that English people do
not treat their babies to a similar
baking. Most Bengali babies are
troubled with very little clothing.
Some have a silver chain around the
waist, and perhaps gold one around
their neck.

on his head he is exempt from all
further violence. When man wishes
to satisfy his vengeance on any other
person who may have done him an in
jury, he goes to the priests house and
sharpens his knife on stone placed
before the door for that purpose. If
the priest asks no questions he is at
liberty to take the other mans life,
but if he questions the injured person
and prohibits the settlement of the
affair in that manner, sort of trial
is held and punishment meted by order
of the priest. The morning salutation
Of the natives is, AZ am glad you have
come out meaning that they rejoice
to see you have revived from the
death-like repose Of sleep.
Sap is collected in earthen jars from
the palm trees and when fermented is
called palm wine These jars can be
seen at intervals through the bush,
and a Traveller who is thirsty is at
liberty to partake of the contents of
any Of them. If he has any money he
is expected to place few coins beside
the jar as compensation; but, t,money or
no money, he is entitled to drink. If
he is near town he must first ask per-
mission to drink of the owner of the
jar. Their debates are carried on in a
very systematic manner. The men sit
in circle and talk together until the
meeting is called to order, when one of
them steps into the center and taking
up cane lying on the ground addresses
the assembly. Others follow at their
own pleasure, and as time is Yalueless
in Africa, and the owner of the house
in which the debate is held provides
for the comfort of all present, there is
no scrambling for first chance. If a
speaker wanders from the point he is
called on to sit down and he has to
obey. The question under considera-
tion is decided by the old men present.
The people are very blunt and out
spoken in expressing what is in their
minds.
Among the superstitions Of the peo-
pie is one to the effect that whoever

pushing the goat on to the nut it is
rolled into the hole. The goat is there

whether he dies or not. Among some

At last the critical moment arrived.
I felt the train psrceptibly slackening,
and guessed that the station was at
hand.
There" I said, brightly. az think
you had better hold this up to the lamp
and examine it critically; perhaps you
will find some further alterations nee
essary."
He took the sketch from me, sus-
peeting nothing, and held it up TO the
lamp, standing with his back to me,
and actually leaving his revolver
which. all this time he had been hold
ing-on the seat.
By this time the station-lights were
in sight, and without pausing to think
of the danger, / seized the revolver,
opened the door, and jumped on to
the platform, but more than fifty
yards from the buildings forming the
station.
L was not an instant too soon.
With a wild shout the maniac fol-
lowed me--was almost upon mel

cheek l tried to scream for help,
but could not: however. fear. though
it robbed me of my voice, must have
lent me wings, for l distanced my pur-
suer, and fell painting and breathless
almost into the arms of the station
master.
By fortunate chance, or rather, !
should say. Il providential occurrence,
a group Of people were standing near.
and seeing my alarm--for l was still
powerless to speak-and the wild ap-
pearance of my pursuer, seized and
overpowered him.
When l was sufficiently recovered to
tell my story think they would hardly
have believed it but for the evidence
of the reyolver-which | was uncon-
sciously still clutching-and the draw
ing which was found in the carriage.
The maniac was secured for the night
and I, too upset to continue my jour
ney at once, sent a telegram to Mr.. Nc
donald, and gratefully accepted the
shelter offered me by the station mas
ter's wife.
L heard afeerward that the maniac,
from whose terrible designs 1 had been
so mercifully preserved, had escaped
from an asylum in London and had
been in the train from Euston, but in
a different carriage. He had been
hopelessly insane for many years, but
had latterly been so much less violent
that his keepers had relaxed their
watchfulness of him and so he had es-
capped.
1t was known that the poor fellow
(who was by birth and education a
gentleman) had lost his reason through
some tragedy in connection with a
sister who had been very beautiful,
and singularly enough had had hair
exactly the color of mine, but 1 was
never able to learn any of the particu-
lars.
The story of my adventure. OF
course, became publicly known, and
through it I was introduced to Mr.. G..
s., then one of the first English liv-
ing artists. With the generosity of a
true genius and great man he pro
cured for me advantages of instruction,
ETC., such as l could never otherwise
have obtained, and opened up to me
the way to the career of an artist. So.
you see, 1 owe great deal indirectly
to my terrible adventure in the Scotch
