Crosby Invalid BedStead.

'EHlS invention is absolutely perfect IN its work
lngs. As will be seen, it consists of two parts,
ii frame, not unlike 4 common bedstead, having
soft, flexible bands extending from side to side, on
which the patient rests while wounds are being
dressed, any attention rendered that may be re
quired. These bands are adjustable and may he
easily removed. The other part is sort of nova
bic car or trundle bed frame, ON which the bed is
made. 1t is arranged to be raised or lowered
by crank, being elevated to the bands and support
ing the patient, u depressed and removed occa-
sion may require. Its admitted to be the most
plete invention of the kind in use. For cases of
severe wounds, amputations and every kind of dis
ease which requires the patient to maintain quiet
state, and in which extreme weakness makes it
painful to move, it is invaluable, inasmuch as it
permits of change of bed-cOhes, cooling ana air
ing the mattress, adjusting bandages, and any ser
vice on the part of the nurse without pain even
annoyance to the sick or to attendants.
1t afforded comfort to the late President Garfield
while suffering from the effect of the assassin's
bullet, and is highly endorsed by DIS. Bliss Boyn-
ton, and by many other distinguished physicians.
1t is adopted in the hospitals of the United States
government and is Invaluable in of accident,
child birth, or severe protracted illness. Call and

eminent physicians and surgeons and parties that

Santa Claus and the Mouse

One Christmas eve, when Santa Claus
Came to certain house,
To fill the children's stockings there,
He found little mouse.
"a merry Christmas, little FRIEND"
Said Santa, good and kind.
''The same to you, sir,' said the mouse;
Il thought you wouldn't mind
eff ! should stay awake tonight
And watch you for while"
you're very welcome. little mousse
Said Santa, with a smile.
And when he filled the stockings up
Before the mouse could wink
From toe to top, from top to toe,
There wasn't left chink.
Now, they won't hold another thing
Said Santa Claus, with pride
\ twinkle came in mouse's eyes.
But humbly he replied:
Its not polite to contradict
Your pardon implore,-
But in the fullest stocking there
could put one thing more
..Oh. no !" laughed Santa, ''silIy mouse.
Don't | know how TO pack:
BY filling stockings all these years.
| should have learned the knack.'
And then he took the stocking down
From where It hung 50 high,
And said: Now put in one thing more;
| give YOU leave TO try
The mousie chuckled to himself,
And then he softly stole
Right to the stockings crowded toe
And gnaWed a little hole.
Now, if you please, good Santa Claus,
I've put in one thing more;
For you will own that little hole
Was not in there before.
How Santa Claus did laugh and laugh.
And then he gayly spoke:

The New York Journal having offered a
prize to the lady reader writing the best poem
on "How to Get u HUSBAND" all the poems
sent in TO be published in the paper, and the one
receiving the most votes of the readers TO be
awarded the prize, the author of the following,
4. c. Dodge, was the successful competitor:
Helping, cheering, tired mother.
Loving words to sister, brother:
Doing patiently thy duty
These attract far more than beauty.
Modest dress and gentle bearing,
Kindly actions never sparing:
Making cloudy places sunny
These win true hearts more than money
Aiding those who are not comely,
Frightening homes however homely;
Striving for a noble life
Crowned at last-a happy wife.

DULUTH, MINI, August 2j.-One of
the most disastrous fires in the history
of Duluth occurred last night. The saw
and planning mills of Little, Blither &
Limond at Rice's Point, together with all
their machinery, books and mill outfit,
and $500, 900 feet OF sawed lumber, are a
total loss The fire started about eight
O'Clock in the engine room Of the saw
mill, and spread through 1t and
the adjoining planning mill so
radidly that only small piece
of machinery was saved. The fire then
caught in the yard three. quarters of a
mile long, which was piled with lumber
to the height of twenty feet and helped
by a strong wind, completely cleaned the
yard out. The losses and insurance are
as follows; On mill and machinery,
$4,000 insurance; valued at SG5, 900; on
lumber in the yard $4,000 insurance;
valued at SSO,0o0. All the mill insurance
is held by Chicago companies. OF the
lumber, 100000 feet was owned BY
Cutler, Gilbert & Pierson, who were hay-
ing it sawed. The ground between the
lumber yard and that of Duncan Gamble
& Co., is all saw dust and slabs, through
which the fire will burn for several days.
