etc., and lastly tub race in the river

At the time, and during the shower, it
was entirely clear and pleasant where
the children stood, upon the chin of the
mountain. 1t is reported by the citizens
of Pleasant Valley that the storm at that
hour was very violent indeed, and the
fall of rain quite heavy. The week past

Luring a Bug From a Mans Ear.

New York Sun: James Knowles of
AvOca awoke few nights ago. lie felt
a violent humping In his right ear, fol-
lowed by sharp twinges of pain, as
though the lining of his ear was being
seized and tore away. Almost crazed he
woke up his wife and told her something
had eIawled into his ear and was eating
its way out through his head. Mrs.
Knowles lighted lamp and fshed for
the foreign occupant with hair pin
and a knitting needle. She was unable
to draw it out. Mr.. Knowles then dress
ed himself to 60 the doctors. Then his
wife happened to think that certain in
sects are generally fascinated by light
and she had her husband wait until she
close to his ear.
"If it's swapping bug" she said "or a
miller it will see the light and come out
to it,"
In less than a minnie Mrs. Knowles
saw the head of fOrmidable-lOOking
bug thrust out of her husbands ear.
The head was quickly followed by body
half an inch long. The bug crept out
and Mrs. Knowles knocked it on the
floor. A stream of blood followed the
exit of the bug from Mr.. Knowles ear.
Mr.. Knowles stepped on the bug and
killed it. 1t was one of those big snap
ping bugs that have their heads hung on
hinges at the middle of the back, and
work them up and down like pile driy-
ers when ON duty. Thanks to his wife's
knowledge of insect habits Mr.. Knowles
was rescued from the bug in time to
prevent serious consequences.

knots an hour" said Captain, Ferlan. of

"In about two hours we had raised the

suddenly exclaimed:

Good Advice.

Young wives and husbands and
old ones, tOo-hOW often do you write
the old folks at home? Do they look
long and anxiOusly for word from
those for whom they have sacrificed all
their lives? Then may you look just as
long for loving missive from your
children as you have caused them to do.
If you can be so heartless and careless
of the dear old father and mother who
have suffered so much for you, then you
are not true christian at heart. Neg
lect some of your fashionable follles, and
do toward them as you once did toward
your lover Were you tardy in writing
to him? Did he deserve or require any
more Of your love than father and moth
.erp BY no means. Do you not think
they carry heavy heart in their bOsOms
when you allow any trivial thingte ex-
cuse you from your duty? Drop other
corr espondents. They are of less impOr-
lance and write them once week. You
may not long have al opportunity to do
so. They are nearing the shore over which
NO letter can pass. Neglect writing and
a telegram may summons you to their
bedside, where lay all that is left of those
whose lives were spent in your welfare
anu hdpplhOoO, anu VIM lOSClN0u III lc-
turn neglect il not indifference. Their
last thought may have been a wonder if
you could spend the time to look upon
their dead faces. But it is too late for
regrets.
Don't think that the young and giddy friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thought for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put off;
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they wished and
longed
Be day or an hour too late.
Do not scribble excuse haste" lest
their thoughts 60 back to years gone by,
when they lost sleep and rest watching
over you, and every breath was prayer
that God would bless their child. For
what? A life of selfshness? The lady
who is ashamed of her mother on ac-
count of hood, present from herself,
why did you insult your mother with the
article if it called forth ridicule? Did
she always give the homely garments to
her daughter, and retain the pretty enss
