The Houges of the wealthy.

In the houses of the Weather classes
there IS too much luxury and elaborateness
of furnishing and ornamentation, and san
ltary precautions are made to give way to
the multiplied artificialities of existence.
Our civilization is becoming oYerdone The
tendency should now be toward greater
simplicity. A noted physician of New
York, in recognition of this fact, has caused
his house TO be refurnished, and has, so far
as possible, substituted polished surfaces,
both in floors and furnishing fabrics, in
stead of the dust and gernl-secreting carpets
and upholstery, which he has discarded.
Also any appliance which prevents the free
ingress of sun and air into every part of the
house during at least portion of the dav,
he most vigorously condemns cs a potent
enemy to health
The custom of surrounding dwellings too
closely with trees and shrubbery (seen in
village and country homes especially is @
most pernicious one, and in these damp
and sunless rooms it is no wonder that
phthisis, rheumatism and malaria find a
fertile atmosphere for their development.
Another source of nervousness and lowered
vitality in connection with insufficient ven
tilation, is the extreme degree to which our
houses, places of business, theaters, hotels,
churches and railroad cars are overheated in
winter. A newly-arriyed foreigner, unac-
custoned to this seven times heated atmos-
phere, finds it almost irrespirablc, and in
addition to his discomfort, great embarrass-
ment to health results This custom alone
is sufficient to prevent Americans from ever
becoming robust peopie.-LThe SAM

STORIES OF LIFE.

One stands in robe of white
Beneath the sunshine, in her eyes
a happy, untold secret lies,
Her well-spring of delight.
She hO'd posy in her hand
OF roses red, of roses rare,
Loves latest gift to one as fair
As any IN the land.
We look at her aud smile
And to our hearts we softly say,
Can bliss like her endure alway,
Or but a little while?
viii faith cling close through sun and snow
viii loves rose garland keep it red
From bridal couch to graveyard bed?
Alack! we cannot know!
One stands alone, apart,
She wears the sign OF widOwhood:
Sharp grief hath drained of all its good
Her hungry, empty heart.
To tend = grave she counteth best.
She turns from us who love her well;
And wears the yellow asphodel,
Deaths flower, upon her breast.
We look at her and sigh,
And softly to our hearts we say,
VIII grief like hers endure Away,
Or lessen by and by2
viii woe weep on through sun and snow?
Or viii the aspholel give place
To flowers about bluShing face?
Alack how should we know?
One sits with thoughtful eyes
Down-dr0pped on h0mely work. emile
Upon her tender mouth the while
Her busy task she plies.
some blessed thought enchains her mind;
How wide and deep her musings are.
High rs the hight of topm0st star,
And low us human-kindl
She wears upon her breast
\ milk-white lily; God hath given
To her a foretaste of his heaven,
An earnest of his rest.
She came from out the furnace fame
Of sorrow strong to help the weak,
And gifted with good words to speak
In time of grief or shame.
We look at her and smile,
And TO our hearts we softly say,
Good work like hers endures Away,
Beyond earths little while;
Beyond earth's round o. sun and snow,
Beyond the hight of topmost star,
And where her harvest waits afar,
God knoweth, and we knowi

sam JONES on N6ERsoLL-Well, Inger-
soil was lecturing-I believe it was in Mil
waukee-and in his lecture he came to this
assertion, aud while he lectured there were
standing up in the corner of the platform
three or four drunken men, standing there
talking in an undertone. That crowd felt
like they ought to take the amen corners
on Bob; and all want to know about any
fellow Is who takes the amen corners on
him; and when you find Bob preaching
you will find the amen corners filled with
old red nosed drunkards and other vaga-
bonds of the town; they have rushed up and
taken the amen corners on him. And while
Bob was lecturing, when he reached the
assertion, There is no hell. and l can
prove it TO any reasonable man." he got the
attention of the crowd, of course. rhey
were interested at this point Ilaughterl
and one of them Strengthened him
self up and staggered up to Bob
and put his hand on his shoulder,
and said, Can you, Bob ?" He said. "Yes,
can" Well" the fellow says, do it,

EFFECTS OF CEIMArE.-Of all the agencies
which determine our destiny, climate is
the most potent. A climate with sharp
alterations of heat and cold, calm and
fury, rouses the elasticity of muscle and
brain. The sharp and severe changes in
the climate of our Northern regions make
that part Of our country the breeding-piace
of strong, wise men, The original settlers
of the Carolinas were grand, chivalroHs

WHEN MY SHIP CONES IN.

Ny ship Is coming Yer the sea
And wait each passing day
To catch the CLEAN of its snowy sails
Through the mists of gathering spray.
1t has fingered long amid the isles
OF the dreamy tropic lands
Where the blue waves kissed by the perfumed
breeze
Break on the golden sands
But yet some day the mists shall fade
And the clouds shall pass away
And my ship, with its load OF precious freight
Shall anchor in the bay
The visions of my childhood's hours,
And the dreams of later years.
VIII all be realized the day
Ny gallant ship appears

A REhARKABLE CLoCK.-One of the most
remarkable Of clocks has just been con-
structed in London for banking establish
ment. 1t is on the twenty-four principle,
and is notable as possessing probably the
simplest method which has yet been re-
sorted to for indicating time according to
the new enumeration. The clock in ques-
ton has only one hand, the long minute
hand, and the figures around are placed as
heretofore. Instead, however, of indicat-
ing the hours, they indicate the minutes
only, which are marked from five to sixty
The hours are shown on a sunk dial revolt
wing under the upper dial, space being
left in the upper dial in which the next
hour figure comes forward instantaneously
upon the minute hand, completing its cir
cult of sixty minutes-that is, in word,
the solitary hand makes minutes, and
the sunk space shows the hour.

A MYSTERIOUS WELL.
Full Buckets of Water Drawn Tn
by an invisible Hand.
fcor. St. Louis Globe.Democrat.l

Cor st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Madden, PEG.
pie of good standing and of more than
average intelligence, live on farm one
mile southeast of Richland, Knox county,
Indiana. Mr.. Madden is a good farmer,
and in all affairs OF life has shown him
self to be man of marked good sense
On the farm, near the house, is a well
with an old-fashioned well-box of the
windlass pattern. This well, Mr.. and
Mrs. Madden affirm, is haunted. Mrs.
Madden first became aware of the super
natural character of the innocent.looking
old affair some days ago, when her notice
was attracted by constant noise from
i, OF such nature as is usually made
when the water is being drawn up. She
mentioned this to Mr.. Madden and
others who pooh poohed her. The lady
was silenced, but the noise was not, and
every day the windlass has been re-
moved, and water drawn up in the most
mysterious manner. Mrs. Madden was
not frightened, simply curious. She fire.
quently went to the well, drew a bucket
Of water, emptied the bucket and retired,
keeping the well in sight Again the
windlass would move, and. when she ap-
preached the well again she found that
by some unknown agency the bucket had
been filled with water. A few nights
ago Mr.. Madden drew water for his stock
and returned Immediately to his house.
AS soon as he had seated himself the
rafting of the windlass began. He
rushed to the well and was Mortified to
see that the bucket he had emptied was
full of water and gradually ascending to
the top of the well. There was no doubt
ing the fact that the windlass was being
worked by some invisible hand. He
rushed back to the house and informed
his wife. Both are now telling the story
with all the earnestness of truth. Says
Mr.. Madden: II am not a believer in
ghosts, or anything of the kind, but |
cannot doubt what | see with my own
eyes" Their story is generally credited,
and the people in the vicinity are in a
high state of excitement over the strange
affair.
