A Travelling Incident.

An invalil gentleman and his lady
had engaged Il berth in the Pullman
Car of the Northwestern Railway.
Toward midnight the patient awoke
with u severe pain in his back, and
asked his wife to apply y mustard
plaster rs quickly as possible. His
better-half at 'once got the plaster
ready, and ran to the other end Of the
carriage to warm it at the lamp to
make it draw all the better. Re-
turning to her sick husband, the lit
tie woman unfortunately went to the
wrong bed, which happened to be oc-
cupied by i stout wine merchant, who
was fast asleep. She quickly drew
the curtain, lifted the bed clothes,
and in \ twink ing clapped the plas'
ter on the travellers hack. At that
nom ent the sick husband called out
from his berth, ''Maryl what a long
time you *re!'' Now the poor woman
first became aware of her terrible
mistake. Hurrylng to her husband
she told him in = whisper of what she
had done. The poor sufferer could
not help laughing in spite of his pain,

An Asylum for Animals.

the establishment was due 70 a philanthropic
native who some years ago left large sum of
money, on his decease, for this purpose, SO

convictions Within the last ten years sever
al liberal endowments have been added. all bv
natives, until the institution is now self-sup-

The yard and buildings cover about two acres
OF ground, where the animals are only so far
confined as to insure their own comfort and
safety. None Of them are ever killed but
are well cared for until Nature herself closes
the scene for them. One horse, which We
noticed, was swung by belly straps 30 that his
