Roller Skating Kinks.

The Cleveland Leader says: A stylish
ly-dressed young lady, whose features
were concealed by thick veil, entered
the downtown Office of prominent
physician yesterday afternoon, and, with
some show of nervousness, requested an
audience with him. The doctor led the
way into his private Office, and the fair
patient removed her veil, remarking as
she did SO, 81 wish you would tell me
what is the matter with my face"
In the dimly-lighted room the physi-
clan was unable to find anything wrong.
Stepping to the window, the lady said,
pointing to the roguish dimples that
nature had placed on cheeks and chin
and the little creases about the corners
of her eyes: 'fDo you see that? My
face looks as though had been working
in a coal mine" Closer inspection
showed the physician that the dimples
and creases as well as the larger pores
in the lady's face were filed with dark,
grimy substance. 81 have scrubbed and

cannot remove it. I am satisfied it is
not dirt" she continued, evidently judg-
ing from the physicians look that he
was about to tell her to take bath.
ST understand" said the doctor, with
with a smile; "the roller rink again"
"What do you mean ?" she asked in a
troubled tone
Nothing but roller rink dust. That
is all. 1t is nothing serious. Try soap
and water again and use this solution
before retiring at night, and your COM
plexion will be all right again"
ooh, I am 50 glad" the lady re-
marked, as she adjusted her veil and de-
parted.
"That is the latest feature of the roller
skating craze" remarked the physician
to a reporter who had overheard the
conversation with amusement. "That
is the second lady who has been to see
me with a similar complaint within
week"
''W'hat is the cause of il P"
"Why, you see, the dust that rises
from the floor of the rink is very fine and
penetrating, and when it settles on the
skin, dampened with perspiration, it at
once finds its way into the pores"

Some Really Queer Customs.

The manners and customs of the
Nasal, as described by Mr.. Joseph
Thompson in the account of his recent
travels in Africa, are, to put it in the
mildest language, most peculiar, and
whole chapter is devoted to the descrip-
ton of them. Their usual mode of salu-
tation on meeting is to spit in one
another's faces, the more copious the
expectoration the greater the friendship;
and Mr.. Thompson, having been voted
q great medicine man, was expected to
heal diseases in this way; but so great
was the demand on his salivary organs
that he could only satisfy his patients
by taking repeated draughts of water.
Equally strange is the custom OF all
the unmarried men and women living in
the villages together, while the married
folks live by themselves; these latter
are allowed to eat what they like, but
the unmarried ones may only eat meat
and drink milk. AS soon as man mar
ries he ceases to be warrior, and has
to tend the herds of cattle. He is no
more allowed to join in cattle raids, or
that determination of his neighbors
which is continually going on, and
which seems to be the greater delight
that the young Nasal is capable of en-
loving; and it is probably because they
would have to forego the pleasures OF
rapine and bloodshed that these amiable
people decline entering into the state OF
matrimony, which, after all, is mere
form, for virtue, as we understand It, is
unknown to them.
They have certainly a kind of religion,
but very little even of that, and seem to
have no belief in future, as all dead
bodies are thrown to the hyenas, who
are so encouraged by being thus con-
tinually fed that if no one should die to
provide them with a feast, they help
themselves to the living by taking the
children out of the huts.

ly given material benefits. ''The bas.
ket," he said, "that you bring on your
arm is perfectly understood. When you
soothe the sick child's pain and care
fully arrange its bedding that is charity
in the fullest sense of the word. If a
beggar comes to your door do not give
him money. If he wants food, give it
him If he is cold, warm him, and
then put him to work in your wood
shed, or cellar, or back yard. If he is
able to beg he is able to work. Sir
Robert Peel was one of the most benevo-
lent men in England, but he never gave
a penny to the wandering poor. Many
people say: But, you should not talk
like this to me; we have no poor in our
church. Then it cannot be very good
church. The house of God should al
ways have poor people in it. And the
greatest necessities for charity have to
be hunted for among those who do not
seem to suffer from poverty"
In concluding. Prof. Cushman said:
'Do charity delicately. You who are
bakers, or grocers, or butchers, when
you sell poor man one pound of sub
stance. take his money, so as not to
offend his independence, but could you
not give him two pounds It will never
harm him, and at the final balancing OF
your accounts it will be placed to your
credit"

The Tale Bearer.
HOW TO DEAL WITH SCANDAL MoNGERs
OF BOTH SEXES.

We think, says an exchange, tale
bearers NAV be divided into two classes:
Those who carry i'll news out OF malice,
and those who retail it for want OF other
entertainment. 1t is difficult to decide
which is the most inexcusable or the
less vicious. We have heard women
called "merely thoughtless" who would
deliberately elaborate some harmless TACT
until it assumed proportions dangerous
TO the peace and comfort OF others.
These ''merely thoughtless women"
usually board. They have small, weedy
brains, and divide their time between
fancy work and tattling. They do black
mailing business, too, on small scale,
aud wreak vengeance for supposed
sliphts on inoffensive friends.
There is but one way to deal with
such persons-rise superior to them.
Owen Meredith calls the world ga net
tie" and gives the sage advice "avoid
it or crush it. We think the hrst
method the better of the two Avoid
the scandal N onger.
But we hear some one say, "Of course
YOU are speaking OF women; men never
bear tales or gossip" Not so fast.
There is not much difference in sex when
we come down to everyday trials ana
JOYS of life. Busy men don't go SIP;
busy women don't bear tales. hlnd
men bind up wounded hearts, and kind
women heal them. IL doesn't make much

The Amount Of Water Trees Absorb.

DR.. J. M. Anders, in a geological
survey report, gives the results of his
inquiry as to the quantity of water
pumped from the earth by trees. He
finds that the average exhalation from
soft, thin Ieaved plants in clear weather
amounts to one and a quarter ounces
Troy per day or twelve hours for every
square foot of surface. Hence a moder-
ate sized elm trees raise and throws off
seven and three-quarter tons of water
per day. In the report the facts are
applied to what is going on in America,
where certain inland fertile districts are
becoming converted into deserts by
wholesale clearings; and in other places,
such as the plains of Colorado, where
only five or six years of irrigation and
planting have already produced meas
urable increase of rainfall. It is MAIN
tanned that the deserts of fSyria and Africa
are the results of cutting down trees,
and that original luxurinnce may be re-
stored by skillfr' ~eplanting.

He Didn't Borrow 1t.

"Hoh y shifted the bachelor boarder,
as his coldly critical eye swept disdain-
fully over the somewhat frugal break
fast table: "this is daisy lay out, amt
it? Can't you give us bit of that cold
turkey that was left last night ?"
The boarding mistress glared at him
minute or two in tone of frozen in
dignation, but the bachelor boarder
never turned hair. Then she gasped
once or twice, and remarked with
severely falling infection:
"You forget that it is Lent"
81 don't care if it is" the bachelor
boarder grumblingly retorted, 81 didn t
borrow it."
And amid the applause that softly
arose from beneath the table the board
ing mistress reluctantly brought forth
the remnants, and when the bachelor
boarder had got done with them they
looked like the ruins of Miramichi by
moonlight. Boston Journal.

Died, at the residence of Mr.. Eli
Webb, in Shalersville township, this
county, at 10 a. N, on Tuesday, the
2lst day of April, 1885, of typhoid
pneumonia, Michael Ryle, nephew of
John RyIe. of Ravenna.
Michael WAS born in Castletown
Roach, County Cork, Ireland, in the
year 1863. He remained with his pa
rents until 1875, when. through the
advice and assistance of his uncle John
Ryle, he came to y meTica to make his
home with him. Since residing heie
he has worked a. farm hand among
the farmers, attending school, and all
who formed his acquaintance speak
of him as honest, industrious, snd
faithful as a workman. He was kind
aud obliging in his manner, and was
a young man of excellent habits.
Since leaving Ireland his mother
and sister have preceded him to the
grave, his father yet surviving. Var
by year he has sent a portion of his
earnings to his father, yet Y industry
and economy he had laid up for his
own Use, al the time of his death about
four hundred and fifty dollars. He
was q firm a,lherent 10 the Roman
Catholic Church, aud ioYed the land
of his adoption. AS the mother aud
sister died aud were buried i'll his alb
sence in far off Ireland, so he passed
away from earth comparatively among
strangers, and his remains quietly rest
in the Catholic Cemetery of Ravenna.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Ryle desire to
express their great thank fulness to
the family of Mr. Webb for the devo.
ted care and attention which they gave
Michael during his last sick ness, and
10 them and also to the school mates
and friends for their many acts of
kindness and sympathy shown at his
funeral.
