WOMAN'S SIXTH SENSE.

Here is a single instance of the work
ing of that subtle, fine sixth sense which
is apt TO affect women more than men,
and which is so mysterious in character
that we often incline to deny its existence
at all. A lady sat sewing quietly in her
sitting room, and in an inner chamber
the nurse had just put the baby to sleep
and laid her in her basinette. AS the
nurse came out of the chamber she said
to her mistress:
The little thing will sleep for three
hours, ma'am, I'll warrant"
The nurse went down stairs, and for
about minute the mother sewcd on.
Suddenly desire sezed her to go and
take the sleeping child from IFS crib.
What nonsenser she said to her
self Baby is sound asleep. Nurse
Just put her down. shall not 60"
Instantly, however, some power
stronger even than the last, urged the
mother TO 90 to her baby, and after a
moment she rose, half yeXed with her
self, and went to her chamber The
baby was asleep in her little bed, safely
tucked IN with soft white and pink
blankets. One small hand was thrown

open, the exquisite fingers slightly curved
and the palm as rosy as the depths Of a
lovely shell.
My baby" whispered the mother,
adorlng the little sleeper as mothers will.
My own little baby"
She bent over suddenly third time,
impelled by that mysterious force which
was controlling her, and for no apparent
reason took the sleeping baby in her arms
and went swiftly into the other room. She
had scarcely crossed the threshold when
startling sound caused her TO look back.
Through sitting cloud of thick clay
dust she saw that the ceiling above the
baby's cradle had fallen, burying the
heaps of rosy blankets, and lying heaviest
OF all upon that spot where, but fol
mystic warning, her LITTLE child would
even now be lying.

HOW 1T HAS WIGGLED.

The history of the political course OF
Hdyper's Weekly shows that recklessness
and malignity not infrequently control it.
Old John Brown was a victim of its
editorial and pictorial abuse. In
the days of Buchanan and Har-
per's Ferry the journal of civilization"
was an abject toady of the slave power.
Before that time il was Know Nothing
organ, and one of its proprietors was the
Know Nothing candidate for Mayor OF
New York city, and another was anti
Mason candidate for Presidential electOr
when the anti Masonic party was in ex-
istence. In 1861 it grossly caricatured
and libelcd Abraham Lincoln, represent
ing him as drunken, leering, smutty,
beastly sort of human ape. So outraged
were the loyal people of New York that
a determined mob forced the proprietors
to hoist an American flag over their pub
fishing house. e.-EpchGRge.

PILING UP THE ARGUMENT.

Denver Tribune.
Dust destroys as much property every
year as any natural agency except fire.
In Denver this is especially true, as there
dust is of a peculiarly penetrating quality.
1t can get into houses through crevices
that would bar out even those angels, o
hundred thousand of whom can stand on
point of pin. Dust is an expensive
luxury, which in these hard times we
cannot afford to indulge in.
1t soils the windows.
1t Injuries the furniture.
1t ruins the books and the pictures.
1t doubles the cost of keeping the home
tidy.
1t wears out clothing.
1t doubles the wash bill.
1t destroys shoe leather.
1t increases the expense and trouble of
keeping the person tidy.
1t damages all kinds of goods.
1t spoils the groceries.
1t is deleterious to dry goods.
1t is hurtful to cigargs ard tobacco.
1t plays the mischief with drugs.
1t dcvastatcs jewelry and watches.
1t is hard on hardware
1t is the bane of the furniture dealer.
1t spoils the temper of the bank-teller.
1t takes away theappetite, and so fleeces
the restaurant.
1t represses all the aesthetic aspirations,
and so blights the life of the art dealer.
1t drives all music from the souI, and
thus fosters treason's strategies and hand
organs.
1t confuses the doctor mixes up the
lawyer and lays a terrible burden on the
piety of the minister.
1t corrodes the temper of all
1t is bad, baleful, malign, dire, de-
structive, detestable, deadly. 1t is
lethiferous end azotic.
Sound economy demands that before
the effects Of the recent rains have disap-
peared measures be taken for the sprink-
ling of the streets.

PROFIT ON CHICKENS.

He who adopts the poultry business as
his principal employment and depends
upon it for a livelihood must not forget
what his business is. If before entering
into it you sat down and carefully
counted the cost, as any wise person
should do, and decided that on very
few acres of worn out, worthless land
you could raise 81, 500 worth of chickens
more easily than you could raise 500
pounds Of hay and twenty bushels of
potatoes, don't forget the conclusion you
have thus carefully arrived at. Don't
imagine you are farmer, for you are
not Don't leave your chicks to shift for
themselves while you turn those few
spears Of hay or hoe those few hills of
potatoes. Remember your business is to
raise chicks and fight hawks and crows,
and not to raise potatoes and fight potato
bugs. If you have time to take all
necessary care of your chicks and also
time to hoe potatoes, and if it is settled
that chicks are more profitable than
potatoes, then the obvious conclusion is
that you have not enough chicks to
employ your time to the best advantage,
and you had better set more hens as soon
as possible.

WEED EGSILAGE.

1t is supposed, as was recently done
by a large French farmer in Algiers,
that all sorts of weeds may be cut and
advantageously put into silos in England.
During very wet season in Algiers vari-
Gus rubbish overgrew the soil, such as
big thistles, charlock, yellow chrysan-
themum and other beautiful flowers and
weeds. These were cut when green and
juicy and put in the silo with lucern and
other grass, and made about as excellent
fodder as Indian corn passed through the
stalk cutter and then sliced. This hint
may be applicable here when a wet sea-
son gives a large growth of weeds.

AN ASTONISHING CURE.

NJ. Claretie, in his last chrOnique in the
Paris Temps, mentions rather sensa-
tional case of recovery from cholera dur.
ing one of the earlier visits of the cpl
demic, due to the skill of DR.. Lorain, q
well known physician of the time. The
patient had sunk into the last stage of
collapse, and the hospital physicians had
stopped the treatment as useless. DR..
LOrain, happening to enter the ward, de-
tcrmined after ahasty examination of the
sufferer to try an experiment with the
object of restoring the circulation, which
had practically ceased. He first per-
formed the operation he contemplated on
rabbit, into whose crural vein he in
iected certain quantity of warm water
He then repeated it on the dying man.,
into whose circulatory system he pumped
400 grammes-nearly pint-Of the same
fluid The heart began to beat at once,
though SO family as TO be hardly pcrcep-
tible. The operation was repeated with
still happier effects. The pulse could now
be felt at the wrist; the patient recovered
his seEsibility and his voice. In ten days
he left the hospital perfectly well. As NJ.
Claretie remarks, the case, which is wei
authenticated one, illustrates the sound
ness of d, Koch advice never to despair
of cholera patient and to keep up the
treatment to the very last.

MOISTURE FOR YOUNG PLANTS

Small or newly set garden plants or
vegetables, which need watering in dry
weather, may be more injured or bene-
fitted if the operation is not properly per
formed. Merely wetting the surface OF
the earth forms hard crust as soon as it
becomes dry. Covering the surface an
inch and half deep with fine broken
manure will prevent crust and the
earth will remain moist much longer.
Newly transported plants will do much
better with this mulching.

THE DEADLY TEAPOT.

From the Waterbury Comm American.
while good temperance people are
decrying liquor" said one of the leading
physicians Of the city. "they seldom stop
to think how much harm is being done
by the abuse of beverage to which
many of them are devoted. just came
from attending the case of a five-year- old
babe who is ruined for life by its parents
indulging it in a-drinking. The child
became veay nervous and dyspeptic and
they sent for me. l asked them how
much tea the child drank. About two
cups at each meal and several between
meals, was the reply. You see, the
doctor continued, ''they let the tea pot
stand on the stove all day. Thus the
tannic acid is extracted, which serve to
turn the Innings of tue stomach into
leather, and brings on dyspepsia and
kindred diseases. Yes, you will find hun
dreds of women, young girls and aged
women, and occasionally a man, who
have completely ruined their nervous sys-
tenn by the excessive use of common tea.

THE number of splendid old trees in
the duchy of Coburg is due to the
forethought and liberaiity of the father of
the re1gning Duke. The old ruler of the
duchy was fond of trees, and whenever
he saw group or single one that
ought to be spared as ching of beauty, 4"
he took measures to make the same a
''ioy forever" by purchasing the fee
simple outright from the owner. There
fore there are many grand old monarchs
of the the forest existing either as monu-
ments of his loving care or else enjoy
ing for their lifetime a pension from his
bounty.
1t is reported from Bucharest that the
Conservative programme in Roumania
comprises a scheme for dethroning King
Charles and placing the duke of Eden
burg in the vacant and most undesirable
place. This story the correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette dIsbelieved at first,
but its truth has now been established
undeniably by Overtures made by the
conspirators (who are working in the
interests of Russia) to intimate friends of
his.
SOME of the Italian papers are crying
out for a return to the death penalty on
the score of economy. "Lifers" have,
it is urged, their lives actually prolonged
by the kind care the Government takes
of them. Such prisoners are not assaiIed
by the troubles which befall men ming
ling in the battle of life, have no
other occupation than to eat repasts
which they know will never fail them.
They thus lead regular life, protected
from the excesses which abridge human
existence, and it has been found that
prisoners for life live to an age far beyond
that of other prisoners,

degrees OF hardness. The graphite used
comes in q fine black powder, and Is
mixed with German white clay, abou
half and halt, and then ground with
moisture, forming 4 paste. This is
pressed in dies into lengths of four
