to the body, so as to be plainly in sight

When all was ready, the report was
circulated through the city by the

Worth Il Licking.


Editors Drawer in Harpers for March.
Some years ago, in Georgia, that
band of Christians known as Ascen-
were having a grand revival.
One day when the meeting was IN full
force, a storm came up and a young
gentleman who was out hunting with
his servant took refuge in the church
door. Being curious to see the service.
the two hunters crept up into the gal
lerv. and there hid in a place where
they could observe without being OBJ
served.
Come, Lord, come, our robes are
ready. Come. Lord, come, cried the
preacher, while all present gave a loud
"Amen."
"Marsa Gabe," whispered Guilty,
lifting his hunting horn to his mouth,
olet me glib dem list one toot.
Put that horn down or I'll break
your head, replied the master, IN

The horn dropped by Cuffy's side
and again the minister cried: Gene,

coming. Come, Lord, come. %,

Cufy could no longer resist tn

The True Wife.

Oftentiaes have seen a tall ship
glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible bow-line, with
hundred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails were untitled, her steamers were
dropping, she had neither side wheel
nor stern wheel; still she moved on
stately, in serene triumph, as with
her own life. But | knew that on
the other side of the ship, hidden
beneath the great bulk that swarm
so majestically, there was a little
toilsome steam tug, with heart of
fire and arms of IRON, that was tug
cling it bravely on, and ] knew If the
little steam tug untwined her arms
and left the ship it would wallow and
roll about, and drift hither and thith-
er, and go off with the rehuent, no
man knows whittier. And so l. have
known more than one genius, high
decked, fulllsfreighted, wide-sailed,
gav-pennoned, but that for the bare,
toilihg arms and brave warm beating
heart of the faithful little wife that
nestles close to him, so that no wind
or wave could part then, would have
gone down the stream and have been
heard of no. more. OLIVER WENDELL

Consumption Contagious.

Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.
A committee who are making 1t
their business to institute inquiries
among physicians as to their opinions
about certain questions IN doubt IN
medical affairs, have received over a
thousand replies in answer to their IN
ouiries concerning the communica-
bility Of consumption OF these re
plies two hundred and siXty-one at
firmed that consumption is contag-
ious. and gave evidence to prove it,
one hundred and ninety-tvo observ-
ers report cases between husband and
wife, and in one hundred an thirty Of
these it is explicitly stated that no
family history of the disease existed
in the partner to whom the disease
was supposed to be transmitted. One
physician tells of dressmaker tram
! ing three apprentices, who took 1t III
turn to remain in the house and sleep
with her. each one week at a time.
The LADY herself was taken with con
sImption Of which She died, and IN
! less than twoye rsafterward all tnree
of the apprentices died of consump-
ton, although in the family history
Of each no traces Of the disease exist
ed. In reply to the committee there
were six hundred and seventy-three
simple negatives. But in matters OF
this sort, positive observation goes
for more than negative. Lots Oh
things happen of which only few
close observers take notice, and the
fact that a thousand people don't see
! them is of less Importance than that
dozen do. Thus evidence accumulate

Cats Wanted On the Pacific.
Globe Democrat.

A rather novel experiment is being
tried on Union Island, ia the San
Francisco River This island, like
several of the neighbors, was rescued
from the tules and the annual floods
by levees. An army of. Cinnamon
cleaned out the persistent tule or
marsh grass. Since then it has been
put in wheat, and in all, save in very
wet seasons, has produced royal crops
of grain.
For the last two seasons, however,
great annoyance has been suffered
from the gopher, or little ground
squirrel, which is found in all parts
of California, and which is one OF the
farmers most dreaded enemies. 1t
DESTROYS grain, kills fruit trees,
ravages gardens-in fact, combines
the destructive properties of the
crow. the squirrel and the rabbit,
while it is not so large as a good-slzed
rat
These pests have increased so rapid.
ly on the Union Island that the pro
prietor of the place has sent out
agents all through the San Joaquin
and Sacramento Valleys to buy cats
to keep down the gophers. A bonu,
OF twenty-five cents head for al
good. able bodied cats, irrespective Of
sex, has been big inducement to tn
small boy, and the agents have al
ready shipped several hundred nous
ers to the island, One man has eX
tended his wan,ierings to Oakland
and is reducing the backbone
orchestras of that cheerful city.
