A HindOo Husbands Greed.

The Hindoo idea Of marriage is curl
GUS: "a man both day and night must
keep his wife so much in subjecsion that
she by no means be mistress of her own
actions. If the wife have her own free
will, Notwithstanding she is of superior
caste, she will go aIniss. A woman shall
never 90 out of her Eouse without the
consent of her husband, and shall pay
proper respect to her husbands father,
the spiritual guide and her guests. and
shall not eat until she has frs: served
them with victuals (if it is medicine, she
may take it before they eat); woman
shall never 60 to strangers's house, aud
shall not stand at the door..and must never
look out of the window. If woman,
following her own inclinations, goes
whithersoeycr she chooses, and does not
regard the words of her master. such a
woman shall BE- turned away. If man
goes on q journey, his wife shall not di-
vert herself by play, nor see any public
show, nor laugh, nor dress herself with
Jewels or fin" clothes, nor see dancing, nor
hear mu>.r. TOR sit ar the window, nor
ride, nor behold anything rare or choice.
but shall fasten we'll the house door and
remain private; and shall not eat any
dainty victuals, and shall not view her,
self in a mirror: she shall not exercise
herself in any agreeable employment
during the absence Of her husband"

The Great Question of the Day.

The late DR.. Samuel D. Gross, the
father of American surgery, used the
following words in an address delivered
at the dedication of the Mcdowell mon
ument:
"Young men OF America listen to the
voice of one who has grown old in his
profession, and who will probably never
address you again, as he utters parting
word of advice.
1'Thc great question of the day is not
this operation OF that which have re-
aected so much glory upon American
medicine, but preventive medicine, the
hygiene of our persons, our dwellings,
our streets, in word. our surroundings,
whatever or wherever they may be,
whether in city, town, hamlet or coun-
try, and the establishment of efficient
town and State boards Of health, through
whose agency we shall be more able to
prevent the origin and fatal effects of
what are known as the zymotic or pre-
ventable diseases which carry so much
woe ana sorrow into our families, and
often sweep like hurricanes over the
earth, destroying millions OF human lives
in an incredibly short time.
"The day has arrived when the peo-
pie must be reused to deeper and more
earnest sense of the peoples welfare, and
suitable measures adopted for the pro-
lection as well rs for the better develop
ment of their physical, moral and intel
lectual powers. This is the great prob
lem of the day, the question which YOU,
as the representatives of the rising sea-
Grafton Of physicians. should urge. in
season and ont of season, upon the atten-
tion of your fellow citizens; the 4ucs-
tion which. above and beyond ali others,
should engage your most serious thoughts,
and elicit yourmost earnest co-operation.
"When this great object shall be at
tanned: when MAN shall be able to pre-
vent disease. and to reach, with little or
no suffering, his thrce-score wears and
ten. so graphically described by tn:
Psalmist. then, and not until then, will
the world be a paradise

The WDumfeeder."

The dumfeeder is an institution in
New York city. He is respectable in
nocent, who lets himself out to accom-
pany ladies to respectable public restau-
rants in the evening. He charges s. to
$40, according to the size of the woman
party. He is scrupulously clean, un-
exceptionally middIe-aged, genteelly
dressed, and preposterously 'eticent.
When bevy of girls want to have q
modest toot at DeInonico's and do not
want to be under obligations to m esccrt
or be forced into genteel monosyllables
by the presence of man, they send for
the dumfeeder. He puts on his dress
coat and accompanies them, looking not
unlike Baptist uncle of theirs from the
country. If he is we'll up in his business
he marches into the restaurant ahead of
his charges with his spring coat on his
arm, wearing the air of capitalist He
orders the walters about, and is generally
bumptious, but never pays the slightest
attention to what the ladies are saying.
They disregard him utterly. He is, of
course, the dummy, but he gets his share
of the meal.
The first dumfeeder was slightly
decayed widower who had failed. He
was recommended by the ladies of one
of the art associations, and his business
grew so he died of over eating some time
a year or two ago. Deaf men are pre-
fcrred, and later several middle-aged men
went into the business whose hearing was
defective. In fact, the occupation has
during the past winter grown into some
thing like a system, and one or two of
the small restaurants, l understand, keep
professional dumfeeders on hand for
whom any party Of ladies can make ap-
plication by card in advance.
Of course. now that the thing is pretty
we'll known among themen, there is a
good deal of pique and curiosity. Moth
ing can be more aggravating than to see
a jolly lot of girls having good time at
Delnoni'o's at night, utterly independ-
ent of every masculine consideration, and
dcfying all the proper escorts with the1
paid dumfeeder, who quietly puts LIS
spring overcoat on when they got
through. takes his pay, and leaves them
respectfully on the sidewalk. The bevy
will look round triumphant at the lone
some young men who saunter in, aud
every bright eye will flash with the u.s.
surance that at last women can have
their own toot, and nc thanks to the
providers.
To the honor of the dumfeeder so far,
it must be said that he has not revealed
anything. He is rs silent as the tomb,
op,7 all thp GIRL Serrnts that drOD I'M =
that grave are supposed to perish there.
He lives an enviable, luxurious life;
sleeps all day and eats all night. All
that is required of him is to keep hi
mouth shut when he isn't feeding and
carry a gold-hcaded cane.-Pittsburg

The Fish that Stopped a Leak.

A Panama correspondent writes: The
British ship Alexander Yeats, from Latos
for Falmouth, while leaving her anchor
age struck heavily upon shoal and COM
menced to make water. 1t was some
time before the pumps would suck, but
they were got in working order and wsre
gaining on the leak, when the influx of
water suddenly stopped. The vessel put
into Callao, Peru. for examination, and
the diver found that a large hole had
been knocked in the bottom. In the
hole and completely filling it was the
body of very large fish. It is supposed
that the fish while swimming past the
vessel was carried in by the water. At
all events the fish saved the ve sci and
her 1900 tons of guano.

Rules for Right Living.

/. Keep the body clean. The count
less pores of the skin are so many little
drain tiles for the refuse of the system,
If they become clogged and so deadened
in their action, we must expect to become
tue prey of ill health in some one of its
countless forms. Let us not be afraid of
q wet sponge and five minutes brisk ex-
erc:se with crash towel every night or
morning.
2. Devote eight hours of the twenty
four to sleep. If a mother is robbed OF
sleep Ivy wakeful baby, she must take a
nap some time during the day. Even ten
minutes of repose strengthens and re-
treshes, and does good ''like medicine. "
Children should be allowed to sleep until
they wake of their own free will.
3. Never 60 out to work in early
morning in any locality subject to damps,
fogs and miasms, with an empty stomach.
If there is not time to wait for cup of
coffee, pour two-thirds of boiling water
on two teaspoonfuls of cream, or beaten
egg, season it with salt and pepper, and
drink while hot before going out. This
will stimulate and comfort the stomach,
and aid the system in resisting poison
Gus or debilitating atmosphere.
4. Avoid overeating. To rise from the
table able to eat little more is proven
bially good rule for every one. There is
nothing more idiotic than forcing down a
few mouthfuls, because they happen to
remain on ones plate. after hunger is sat-
isfed. and because if left, they may be
''wasted." 1t is the most serious waste
to over tax the stomach with even half
an ounce more than it can take care of.
5. Avoid food and drinks that plainly
disagree" with the system. Vigorous
outdoor workers should beware of heavy,
indigestible suppers. @suppers should al
ways consist of light, easily digested
foods--being in the country, so soon fol-
lowed by sleep, and the stomach being
as much entitled as the head to profound
rest. The moral pluck and frmness to
take such food and no other for this last
meal of the day can be easily acquired,
and the reward of such virtue is sound
sleep, a clear head, strong hand, and a
capital appetite for breakfast.-Ars. b..
II. Leland.

A THRILLING SCENE.
An Express Train in Ohio Collide
with u Tornado.

An Express Train in Ohio Collides
with Tornado.
The Chicago express on the Fort Wayne
Railroad had a rough experience passing
through tornado which struck Eastern
Ohio the other night. Slch storm the pas
sengers had never seen before. The laIieS
were greatly frightened, and the gentlemen
we're too scared themselves to be Of mu:h
service in allaying th.ir fears. The
wind steadily increased and the break
ing of the trees and the whistling
of the storm among the telegraph wires madea
concert Of wild sounds. The train passed For
est 2s9 miles west of PittSburg, Penn, about
1875 p N. The engineer was then sending
the locomotive along Mt about thirty miles an
hour. The engineer put on more steam, and
when three miles from Kirby the storm was
at its height.
Suddenly there was dull roar in the dis
tance, and then tornado tore across the
level plain on the south side of the track and,
catching a big tree, tore it up by the roots
and flung it across the cars. One limb struck
the locomotive, another fell on the platform
and steps or the first car and demolished
them Other branches smashed IN
the windows along the three ordinary cars
and the two Pullman Sleepers. Telegraph
poles came dancing down ut the same time,
and rockies and bushes flew threw the air in o
riotous scurry The car windows were smashed
to pieces, cracked and splinsered and the glass
flew in every direction
The train kept ca the rails, and the engi-
neer applying the air brakes brought 1t to
standstill within POO yarls. Every passenger
was in paroxysm of fear. The sleepeGs were
full of wildly excited men and women. The
railway men kept fairly cool, and as
far as they could assisted in the res
toration of confidence. The air was
still filed with flying branches and stones,
while the glare of electricity liberated from
the clouds intensified the horror of the scene
Though every window in the sleepers Baden
and Salamis were fractured. and almost
every pane in the other coaches smashed, 1t
is remarkable that very fow passengers were
hurt.
Mr.. C. C. Bow, merchant Of Canton,
Ohio, was in his berth i'll the sleeper Salamis
when the tree Shivered the glass above him.
Hereceived one piece under his right eve
with such force that thA eye was literally
cut out. Alady in the sa'ae car was also cut,
though not seriously, about the face. A few
others had their hands cut.
The train finally started again, and in due
time reached Crestline without further ac-
cideut There a locomotive was procured
and the battered cars came on to Pittsburgh,
reaching the depot an hour and half late. q
good deal of the time being made up on the
run When the train arrived at Pittsburgh
it looked as if it had been riddled by sharp
shooters and battery of heavy artillery

Remedy for Painful Wounds.

Take pan or shovel with burning
Goals and sprinkle upon them common
brown sugar and hold the wounded part
in the smoke. In a few minutes the pain
will be allaycd and recovery proceeds
rapidly. In my own case rusty nail
had made bad wound in the bottom of
my foot. The pain and nervous irritation
was severe. This was all removed by
holding it in the smoke for fifteen min
utes, and 1 was able to resume my read
ing in comfort. I have often recon-
mended it to others with like results.
Last week one of my men had finger
nail torn out by a par of ice tongs. 1t
became very painful, as was to have been
expected. Held in sugar smoke for
twenty minutes. tn. pain ceased, and it
promises speedy recovery.-Cou''try Gen.

The Difference Between Them.

"For love the ocean breezes, and love the
dashing spray;
Yes, 1 love the gorgeous sunset, love the
calm, aud love the squall-
But think love the water, in my business,

"That's the difference between US" said the
grocer at his side,
"Though the ocean breeze is bracing, and l
love the rolling tide,
Though dearly love the billows, yet can't
forget the land,
And I think my young affection most is
