1t Was Not Loaded.

Thomas j. Bowd.tch contributes the
following to the Troy Ta,nes::
Many years ago, before the introduc-
ton of friction matches, an old farmer
used to light his finder for the morning
fire by the use of an old flint lock MUS
ket. One day in his absence the wife
loaned the musket to a neighbor, VINO
returned it loaded, and mentioned the
fact to the woman as he handed it to
her. But her husband did not return
home until past midnight, being on a
rousing spree. He crept into bed with
out waking his wife to enjoy a lecture.
Next morning he rose in good season
with the usual thirst aud q hammering
headache; after rubbing a few cobwebs
out of his eyes and taking a ''wee drop
from the remains of the overnight, he
commenced prep l~rations for starting the
fire. The splinters were collected and
the finder placed in the pan of the lock:
click went the hammer, and the ex-
plosion thit followed shook the house,
dispelling the fumes of liquor from the
old mans faculties and rousing his wife
with a sudden alarm. Guessing at the
trouble, she exclaimed, while not fully
awake: ssTh-th-t that gun is loaded!n
Looking with an empty stare at the
bullet-hole in the bedstead, Just about
two inches above his wife's head. the
fond husband replied: aNo, I'll be
blamed if it is"
The Opelousas courier., 1886-11-06

"Because," replied the physician with
savage emphasis, the good results are
only temporary, and she will SOC be-.
come a physical wreck. Before she gets
back to town from the road next spring
she will C mmence to notice, while comb
ing her hair, that it is dropping on
very freely. / have written to her, warn
ing her that this aud other symptoms viii
soon develop. She don't believe me now,
but ,ust as soon as the hair falling com
mences she will know l am speaking the
truth. She will stop her arsenic doses
in a panic, and in two weeks she will b
the worst looking object that ever wore
female clothing. The cutting off of the
arsenic supply will precipitate the very
trouble she will hope to avert. Hel
checks will sink in, her finger ma Is will
commence to split aud before a week
her complexion will be gone. Out o.
sheer DIES ,~.eration she will resume her
arsenic, and will be temporarily bene-
flied. She will have the worst symp
toms of arsenical poisoning before next
SUNNI r is over, and will be so hideously
ugly that she will have to retire from the
stage, whether she wants to or not
"What are the final results of the dis
easel"
''Palpitation of the heart, a deadly
oppression in breathing, itching eyes,
stiffness of the joints and terrible ema'
citation. In this condition the slightest
cold will bring on galloping consump-
ton and death. Yet | know that arsenic
eating is on the ."-NeU York
Star.

The ruby continues to be a fashionable
gem.
Both ball and hoop earrings are worn

Light graceful settings are the rule for
all gems
Pasteur is a new brown and salammbo
a gray blue.
Tortoise shell hairpins are very popu-
lar just now -.
Winter cloaks promise to be of gener-
GUS proportions.
There are more var eties of fall nantes
than ever before.
Garnet bead trimmings are included
with fall importations.
Straw embroidery is one of the novel
ties in dress trimmings.
Velvet promises to be a fashionable
fabric for the winter season.
Both hats and bonnets of those re-
Gently received are becoming.
The leading colors are blue, brown,
green, dahlia, acajou and mulberry.
Bugles are to be more used as garniture
than beads. So say the modistes.
Wool diagonals, shot with two or more
gay and contrasting ~colors, are worn this
fall.
Beaded trimmings and appli9ues in
colors and elaborate designs, are in fash
ion.
Yellow will continue to be a favorite
color and will be lsrgely used next sea-

Milliners will use more fruit than
flowers in trimming both hats and bon
nets.
The outer wrap still will have the loose
fronts decorated with large fancy but
tons.
Some of the new tabernacle costumes
have the skirt, yoke and cuffs of velvet
of contrasting colors.
Blanket Jackets in white or cream color
with gold braid trimmings are natty, be-
coming, and likely to be popular.
The hair-l line stripes must be popular
still because of their usefulness and are
made by the most popular tailors.
Pretty gIays, which are more live dove
color than any other, promise to be fash
ionable during the coming season.
Fright shades continues to dazzle the
eyes, and give tone to many effective
c costumes. True blues, greens and even
puppies are anon !, the fashionable tints
this fall.
Jersey, wide, very wide of the mark,
as far as the original jerseys were con
cerned, although very attractive in style
and effectiveness, are in the market forth
fall trade.

The Lines on the Hand.

The principal line on the hand, in this
creed, is the Line of Life" which can
be traced ronnd the root OF the thumb,
known as the Mount of Venus, till it
more or less directly joins the cline
of Head, the lower of the two lines; the
other is called the Lime of the Heart"
which crosses the palm just below the
Mount of Jupier, at the root of the first
finger, and of Saturn, Apollo, and
Mercury at the root of the others. There
is no corresponding mount left for Mars
or for the Moon, SC the former is sup
posed to run into the Mount of Mercury,
by the little finger, and the latter to be
lower down, near the wrist. These
mounts" and ~''liues'' are the basis of
palmistry, the idea being that according
to their development and peculiarities
the qualities indicated by the various
planets are detected.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
RECKLESS waste in Orohards.

IGCAAOSS w ArC AM OTGhdFOSs
I'm his last annual address President
Barry, of the Western New York Horti-
cultural Society, said that he had seen
large orchards neglected and producing
apples that were brought into market
small, bruised and wormy, not gathered
by hand but shakea from the trees, and
sold for a few cents a bushel. The men
who mismanage thus do not attend hor-
ticultural meetings nor take the periodi-
Gals. They cannot afford the time and
money. A great many apples are lost
for want of timely preparation to take
proper care Of them or to procure barrels
to Put them in. What would we think
of q farmer who would neglect to make
arrangements for cutting his wheat at
the proper t;mea He further added that
poor pear was worse than a poor apple
and he had seen 0 great many that would
be dear at a dollar a bushel. Yet fine,
well grown, weltselected pears, properly
put up, had sold in New York all
through last Nov ember and December at
$50 to So a bu hel-Anjous for So, and
Lawrence and Others for So. so to Sd.
They were in prime order, wrapped in
soft paper and packed in clean new kegs
and boxes. At the same time poor pears
could not be sold. The teachings OF
these facts are obvious.
