Women Travelling Alone.

1t is very happy thought that we
women can travel alone from one end
of our broad land to the other; we may
fluid it more pleasant to have company,
but when compelled to go without any
one we find it can be done with perfect
safety. 1t is well to familiarize ones.
self to short trips from home, and thus
become more self-reliant and fearless
when the time comes to start out on 9
more heightened journey. To feel per.
fectly at home when surrounded by
strangers on a crowded steamboat OF
railway train, we must have had some
experience of the same kind. You will
usually meet with pleasant officials,
who will render you any service that
you need or if YOU find them gruff and
surly, do not let it disturb you in the
least. 1t is always much more agree
able, and puts one more completely al
ease, to be treated with civility; but
when you reflect upon the number Of
questions these persons have offered to
them, can you wonder at little i'm.
patience?
Be sue to be in time to meet the
conveyance by which you are to travel,
and to see that your tickets are correct
and your baggage checked, and youl
checks secured in safe place. Have
with you more money than you will
need, but have the greater part of il
in some secure place. Dress as
plainly as possible, in quiet colors, with
little jewelry or ornaments of any kind.
If you are going on long journey, see
that all your needs, as far as possible, are
provided for before hand, so that you
may not be obliged to ask strangers to
help you; and when obliged to change
cars, go with the crowd and do not lag
behind. And do not allow any one to
look after your luggage but yourself.
Go in an omnibus where there are
others, but never in a hack alone.
Should there be any doubt as to the
cars you are to take, or the way you
are to go, ask an official or laborer
who is likely to know. Do not get con-
fused or lose your presence OF mind,
no matter what emergency you may
find yourself placed in, and you will be
sure to come out all right. 1t is best
to maintain reticent manner when
travelling alone; when asked question,
answer civilly but briefly. In this way
you will find that you can 90 abroad as
safely as you can about your own town,
and take a great deal OF enjoyment that
otherwise you would be deprived Of

Remarkable Hand at Whist.

Some time ago the whist circles and
the clubs where cards are played for
amusement were startled at the result
OF one particular hand at whist played
and held by four prominent citizens,
members of the Cuvier Club. The
hands were of such unique nature that
considerable doubt was expressed as to
the fairness and squareness of the deal.
In order to dispel such doubts the par
tlclpants have made the following sworn
statement of facts before Judge j. Har-
mon, copy ofwhich will be forwarded
by the Cuvier Clubto ali standard hist
clubs for record:
whereas, the game hereinafter men,
toned is without parallel in any au-
thentic record knowntous and, where
as, we deem it matter of great inter-
est to all lovers of whist; Now, there
fore, in order to place it properly on
record and give it credibility as fact
in whist history, we, the undersigned,
residents of Hamilton County, Ohio,
members of the Cuyier Club being first
duly sworn, upon our oaths do say, and
each for himself upon his several oath
doth say: That on November 81, 1888,
we were engaged in game of whist at
the rooms of said club in said city, with
out any stake and for no consideration
except the pleasure of the play; that at
said game Jeremiah Kierstead and H.
Clay Culbertson, E. G.. Webster and
Alexander Starbuck, respectively, were
partners. .... ,.s..
The statement further shows that two
packs of cards were used; that the first
hand dealt-was an ordinary one; that
at the second deal Mr. Webster gave
the cards the usual thorough mixture,
and after being cut in the regular way
the pack was. dealt, with the following
result: Culbertson received thirteen
spades. Starbuck received thirteen
hearts, Kierstead received thirteen dia-
monds, Webster received thirteen
clubs, which latter were trumps Mr..
Minor, the only spectator Of the game,
testifies to the same effect. The we'll
known standing and reputation of all
the above gentlemen in this city forbids
the thought of any collision or con-
spiracy. Cincinnati 7G'hes-S Star.

and blood-shot eyes told their own
story.
Then it was that his almost heart
broken mother entreated him, as only
a tender mother can, and tonight he
had promised.
a few hours later the two came out
upon the street, Carl walking erect,
while Burt leaned heavily upon his arm
and stepped in a dazed unccr ain way.
Seems to me, Burt, it takes precious
little TO make you top-heavy," was
Carl's heartless remark. II drank
three times what you did, and Pm all
right. You're fresh. though; s'pose
that S the reason; didn't begin imbibing

were knee-high to nothing but look a.

pitched heavily forward, s.straighten

"Lemme lone, / m not goin' home,
stammered Burt, making an effort to
free himself, "l'll never go home

Until your sober. do you mean?
Then come down TO the water. and cool
off, interrupted Carl.
They made their way to the dock and
entering small boat pushed off into
the lake. '' el
Better be careful, young men,"
called the old boat man as he drew up
the chain that had fastened, the skiff;
'takes a clear head to weather a sea
like this
"Never mind us, Uncle! we need little
rough work before we go home to-
night"
There is little more to tell. Ny story
is short one and full of sadness.
Out from the shore the waves were
rough, and even the boosted strength of
Carl gave away. The moon shone
serenely above them, but clouds were
scudding across the sky, and the wind
was rising. h s,..
In the morning the old boat man
found them living on the white sands of
the beach, whittier the washing of the
waves had brought them drowned.
The mansion was draped, the cottage
closed, for in darkened room of each
lay the hope and pride of the parents
heart.
A week later, and from the cottage
door another funeral train had passed,
and the broken-hearted mother is laid
besided her misguided boy in the village
church-yard; while the grandeur of the
palat'al home cannot shut out the
shadow that has fallen across its TIRES
hold. But from the club the light still
shines through the stained windows and
battles other young men in its rosy
warmth as it falls about them in soft
and glowing colors upon the pavement.
Fathers, mothers, where are your
boys tonight? --U Union, Signal.

l hope not, for want to be the one to
tell you. Do you remember Harry
Chapman, whose father failed o few
years ago and died soon after? Wei, it
seems he went West-has been almost
forgotten by his set here and a crusty
old bachelor uncle in Chicago left him
large fortune, in cash mostly. He
didn't touch it, but went to Colorado,
leaving the money in some trustee 5
hands. There he went to work as if
he had not a cent-got to be foreman
in mine or something. Last summer
while Fannie Howard was out there
they got acquainted and they were en-
gagged Just before she returned. She
thought all the time, too, that he was
dependent upon his wages. Wasn't
she foolish? Now it seems he has
bought the mine and it is turning out
piles of money, and they are to be mar
ried in the spring. Quite a romance,
isn't it? | knew there must be some
thing to keep her there so long. am

The Champion Snake Story.

A Southern paper publishes n story
which the ''neXt' man will find it hard
to beat. The writer tells how he was
blasting with gunpowder some large
and tough logs. From one OF the logs
thus split open crawled an enormous
serpent, which was easily killed. The
man who tells this story continues from
this point as follows: ''On stretching
it out | found it to be thirty one feet
two inches in length, and the thickest
part of its body measured twenty-nine
inches in circumference. 1t was a diff
ferent species of serpent from any l
have ever seen before. Its tail was
armed with sharp pointed and curved
horn; its body was varicgated with
alternate brown and dirty yellow
stripes, and on close examination dis.
covered that it had been totally blind,
its eyes seemed to have turned into a
refectonless, hard, bone-like substance.
This explained its undecided, hest
tatating movements when it first came
from the log. A strange crease APP
peared about the neck, Just back of the
head, which found to be caused by a
stout thong of leather, about which the
flesh of the serpent had grown until it
had sunk almost out of view. Cutting
the thong and removing it, found at,
tached to its under side a copper plate
which had heretofore been hidden by
the body of the snake, and on one side
of it was scratched; ID. Boone, April
10, 1779.' | split the log in two, and
near the lower end of the hollow l
found where there had once been an
opening, but long years ago it had been
closed up with plug made of oak wood,
about and over which the maple had
grown until it was almost concealed.
The dead. appearance of the small por-
ton visible OF the oak plug was all that
called my attention to its existence. My
theory of the matter is this: Daniel
Boone, many years ago, on the date re-
corded on the piece of copper, caught
the snake, then young and small, fast
ened the copper plate about its neck
and imprisoned it in the hollow of the
tree by means of the oak plug, where
his snakeship had remained until the
day | delivered him to free air and sun
light again. "-OmahG Bee.

Temperance Reading.
HORRIBLE RUM.
A PARODY OK nnrArrrrr, s,


A PARODY ON 'BEAUTrFUL SNOW"
Oh, the rum the horrible rum,
Filling saloons and every STUN,
In city and town and humber place,
With suffering and woe and deep disgrace;
Rippling,
.s Flowing along,
Inciting the rude Bacchanalinn song,
As it wends thro' its devious, winding course,
Filling its victims with pam and remorse,
Whose virulent poisons must surely flow
From the demon of darkness dwelling below.
Oh! the rum! the terrible rum.
What Il babel of woe its homes become!
Now stirring its thoughtless drinkers up ..
10 notice the snakes that lie in the cup,
Kissing,
Writing about.
And wriggling around, as if TO get out,
With wild, glaring eyes. and terrible fangs,
All gathering in great internal gangs,
And swapping with venom right and left,
From every crevice, rock and cleft.
Once runs dupes were pure, but they felt
Fell like Lucifer, from Heav'n tn hell
Fell to be likened to filth in the street.
Fell to be scon'd at, spit on and beat;
shudd'ring,
Dreading to die;
But thirsting still for n little more rye;
Trudging about like weary tramps,
Knowing the people look on them as scamps:
But finding no rest for their shriv'led souls
Once they rival'd the beautiful snow,
With eyes like its crystal, and hearts like its
glow f.
Once they were loved, before the rude trace
Ofrum was beheld in their red, swollen face.
Fathers,
Mothers,
... Sisters all,
God and themselves have they lost by their
fall;
The veriest wretch that goes shivering by
Will take wide sweep lest they come too
nigh
Lest the rum-tainted breath should on them
blow
Of those who were once like the vestal snow.
Strange that character so like snow
Should become furnished and lose all its glow;
But not so strange that IL sense of such stain
Should add desperation to heart and to brain,
Ending
In sending
To early graves
The wretched, blotched, rum burned slaves,
Who failed to raise a heartfelt prayer,
That God would free them from runs snare,
And not let them live and die and go
10 the regions of dread despair and Woe
