He Swallewed A Fish:

Probably one OF the happiest men in the
county of Burlington is Seth Bennett, of
Juliustown, who has Just succeeded in get
ting rid of one of the most upwelcome
guests man ever had, Several tn1nths
ago Mr., Bennett Gas walking out in the
country, and took occasion to slake his
thirst at small brook by the roadside. As
he was drinking he felt pretty sure that he
had drank something in the water that he
ought not to, and MS be Travelled alSng he
almost imagined ke could feel il move.
The longer his mind .dwelt upon the mat
ter the mora dissatisfied and miserable he
became. He didn't enjoy his food MS
was his wont, and for many days com.
planned of u pain IN the pit OF his stomach.
Within day or two he was seized with
vomiting accompanied with considerable
distress, which lasted for some time and
resulted in his vomiting up fish about
three inches in length. This he took to
Pemberton and showed it 10 physician
there, who pronounced il species of pike.
1t was a perfect specimen of the finny
tribe, with head, fus and tail. Since lie
got rid of il Mr., Benefits health has i'm
proved and his mental equilibrium has been
entirely restored, but hereafter he will new
er take drink Of water without first care

A Tear Kerchief.

In some portions of Tyrol peculiar
and beautiful custom prevails. When a
girl is about to be married, before she
leaves her home to go to the church, her
mother hands her handkerchief, which is
called tear kerchief. 1t is made of newly
spun linen and has never been used. 1t is
with this kerchief that she dries her tears
when she leaves her fathers house, and
while she stands at the altar. After the
marriage is over and the bride has gone
with her husband to their new home, she
folds up the kerchief and places it I'M
washed in her linen closet, where it remains
untouched. The tear kerchef has only
performed half its mission. Children are
born, grow up, marry, and move away from
the old home. Each daughter receives from
the mother new tear kerchief. Her own
remains where it was placed in the linen
closet the day of the marriage, and there it
remains until her death, when it is taken
from its place and spread over the placid
features OF the dead, never to be removed
until We are summoned to come forth on
the resurrection morn,

A Male Association.

We are requested to print the fol-
lowing circular, issued by the Arkan-
saw Male Furnishing Company:
Attention, young ladies and widows
There are several associations through
out this country and England which
furnish wives, but until we began bust
ness in this state no company has pro-
posed to furnish husbands. We have
Just succeeded in obtaining several hun
bred respectable young men, who are
willing to be matrimonially disposed
of; SO, upon receipt of % cents in
stamps we will forward photographs OF
subject, together with locks of hair.
Below you will find several testimonials
Arkansaw Male Furnishing CO.,
Gentlemen: For many years was an
old maid. tried many remedies for
procuring sure and prominent hus-
band, but failed. BY chance / heard
of your institution, and l must say that
the husband which You have furnished
me is satisfactory. / congratulate YOU
upon the good you are accomplishing.
Yours, Mrs. MARY SATTLEToN.
Mrs. Peter Fluker, of Mill Bayou,
writes AS follows:
Il am perfect, delighted with the
husband you sent me. He arrived six
weeks ago and have not regretted APP
plying to you. He is out now, chop
ping wood. Yesterday morning he
cooked breakfast while was doing up
my hair. l would not take anything
from him."
The following, from Mrs. Martha
Whickle, comes unsolicited:
Gentlemen: For ten years l was a
widow, my husband having been killed
by wild hog. Not very long after his
death, gentlemen began to pay atten-
ton to me, but somehow. was not sue
cessful. 1 sned one of them for breach
of promise, but only succeeded in get
ting a COW in the decline of life, and q
horse that wouldn't pull corn-cob
stopper out of a Jug. Finally friend
showed me your advertisement. At
first paid no attention to it, having
seen so many swindles, but thinking
perhaps there might be some truth in
it, Isent for full particulars and must
say that ! am delighted with the result.
The husband which You were so kind
Is to forward me is somewhat younger
than / am. but he is very handsome and,
above all, my first husbands clothes
ut him. He milks the COW, churns,
and only possesses a moderate appc-
lite. have made him change his re-
ligion to tit mine. If you so desire you
may make use of these facts. If my
husband should die, l expect you to
furnish me another one at half price,"

Protection Of Birds.

One of the chief obstacles to the
preservation of birds is the fashionable
craze among women for these feath-
cred songsters as head ornaments.
This wicked fashion causes the destruc-
ton ofmillions of birds yearly, and the
supply j. fast running out. This, how
ever, will make no difference to fashion
able ladies'. who will perhaps be all the
more anxious to obtain bird ornaments
when scarcity enhances their price.
The threatened destruction of little
birds, which are generally friends Of
man, as they are de stroyers Of his in
sect enemies, is matter of serious i'm
port to the farmer and gardener, and in
fact, to the entire country. 1t is sug-
gested by lawyer that when humanity
andreason fail to influence silly women,a
wholesome fear Of the law may prove
effective. Most States have game laws
which strictly prohibit, not only killing
Of small birds, but impose penalties Of
iine and Imprisonment on any person
having them In possession. Ladies'
wearing four to six birds on their hats
render themselves liable to as MANY
years service in the State prison.
though this penalty may be modified at
the discretion Of the Judge. Each bird
worn constitutes distinct offence. The
agricultural, horticultural, and reliri-
GUS press has piled various arguments
against this barbarous fashion, but to
no avail, and it is time that more effec-
tive measures he taken. As an old man

wondering" he replied. "The general
public have the idea that they go where
pins, needles, hairpins, and such things
go to, that is, they disappear somehow
or other and no one knows where to.
You may be surprised to learn it, but
there is large and increasing trade
done in second hand school books alone:

school-book exchange You see, boards
OF school trustees are all the time
changing the books their pupils study,
unless not allowed to do so by law,
which is the case in some states, and in
former times, when they made change,
they either sold the discarded books for
old paper OF burned them. But now
they are more economical. They hunt
up the school-book exchange and are
allowed to trade their discarded books

school only few months, and has not
much money, and he will eagerly buy
