SOLD MS WIFE AND CHILDREN
a story Offered From New Jersey as
an Actual Occurrence,

Ellis Thompson wealthy farmer, living
about mile from here, has purchased wife
and two children, and is now living with
them in a new house handsomely furnished.
Kate Carson a Red Bank girl, was, years
ago, sought after by Thompson, then 40
years old, and young man named Hiram
Satterlee. Satterlee won the girl and married
her. They lived until week ago in little
house along the railroad near Deal Lake.
Satterlee was employed on the New York
and Long Branch Railroad, but intemper-
ance has ruined him, and he has given but
scanty help to his family lately. Thompson
saw how poor the family was, and how the
woman he loved was being ill-used by her
husband. His sympathies went out 10 the
injured, and he longed to take her to the
house he was building on his farm. AT
length he had happy inspiration; he would
buy Mrs. Satterlee. When he broached
the subject to her she received the PROPOSE
tion with fewer scruples than he had expect
ed. She appreciated his solcitude, and if
she could not return his affection, her graft
tude would 60 a long way toward it. The
question arose as to whether the husband
would make a reasonable bargain Mr..
Thompson went to the house and bloached
the subject Satteree thought at first it was
a joke, but when he saw Thompson was in
earnest he became serious, and finally offered
to sell his wife and children for 5000. Mr.
Thompson put down the cash at once, and
that night Satterlee left for New York, and
the woman and children are now living with
Thompson in comfort and happiness. Cor.

Something About Alaska.

Alaska is a country Of negatives Says
recent tourist There is no agriculture,
and never can be. The soil is shallow and
covered with moss from two to three feet
deep, which holds the snow and ice far into
the summer. Neither vegetables nor cereals
can ever be grown in any part of Alaska. 1t
has no lumber. From Vancouver Island TO
Stka there is not log growing that is fit
for the saw. The poor stunted pines that
cling to the hills are only fit for irewood.
That it has valuable minerals has been
proved, but II is doubtful whether the short
seasons that work Is possible in viii ever al
low any extended development OF its re-
sources in that direction. As a region for
prospectors it is the mos, barren, God for
saken country that ever miner put foot
upon. There Is not a horse, mule, ass or bi-
cycle in Alaska each and all would be use
less as means Of locomotion. The whole
country leads toward heaven at an angle OF
45 degrees. To move on you must climb
and keep on climbing forever The Indians,
for that reason, with level heads avoid the
land, except as a place TO sleep on; they live
and move in canoes. What the gondola is 10

A Wise Reform.

The habit Of administering quinine in pow
erful doses. as an anudote to malaria mala-
dies, was once dangerously common. Hap
PLY this practice has undergone a wide
reform. Not only the public, but profess
sional men have adopted, not wholly, of
course, but largely, Ilostetter's Stomach
Biters as safe botanic substitute for the
pernicious alkaloid. The consequences of
this change are most important. Now fever
and ague sufferers are cured-formerly their
complaints were only for the time relieved,
or half cured-thc remedy eventually fail
ng to produce any appreciable effect, except
the doses were increased. A course Of the
Bitters, persstently followed, breaks up
the worst attacks and prevents their return.
The evidence in favor OF thissterling specific
and household medicine is of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfactory, and
the sources whence it proceeds are very
numerous,

Why He Didn't Marry.

brous lesson. He says: "My parents, as
we'll as myself were desirous that | should
marry, and a suitable young lady being
found, our betrothal took place. Then my
future father-in.law died and we had, of
course, to wait three years. | had hardly

future wife took sick and expired, and thus
we were Obliged to delay our marriage an
other three years. Lastly, | had the misfor-
trie to lose my own dear mother, which mai
urally caused another adjournment. So that,
as four times three makes twelve, that num-
Der of years had passed over our heads and
made US both the older. At this time my be.
trothed fell i'll, and as she was at Deaths

Robust Young American women

Some years ago young woman
rather coveted an appearance OF delicate
health, as an evidence of refinement,
and associated fresh and blooming
cheeks and vigorous appetite with q
dairymaid style of beauty that seemed
to her course or inelegant. She was
also taught to look on little hysterical
fears and tremors IS prettily feminine,
and, of all things, she most dreaded to
be regarded as a tomboy or hoyden.
She might dance all night in tight and
long gown. but she must avoid the out
door sports enjoyed by her brothers.
and stand in mortal terror of COWS and
mice. Therefore, it happened that the
typical American girl of those days was
| a thin and nervous creature, beside
whom her English sister seemed full
and rugged. She was a pretty but
fragile specimen of her sex, whose good
looks were likely to be soon replaced by
the lines of chronic ill-health, or de-
atroyed by the cares OF motherhood.
But all that has changed since the
time when bio Lewis began to preach
his doctrine OF what be called physical
culture. The girls Of his period vie with
their brothers in outdoor exercise. They
! wear trout boots, easy clothing, and
garments appropriate to the weather,
and which are made with careful regard
to the protection of their health. First,
croquet took them out upon the lawns,
and then tennis, and meantime, they
armed TO row, to ride, to drive, to prac-
tiee archery, to take long tramps and to
| endure exposure, SO that it has come to
pass that girls, like boys. are ashamed
20 be unequal to vigorous physical exer-
else. They want to be healthy and
strong, and mice and COWS no longer
terrify them as of old.
The result of this is that the we'll
trained American girls who are now APP
proaching maturity, or who are q ready
In the first flush of womanhood are dis
tinguished for the symmetry and beauty
of their physical development. Their
lungs are stronger and their voices bet
ter than those of the women who pre-
ceeded them. The race has grown taller
and far handsomer, so that now we can
SAY without boasting thst-the handsofn-
est types of their sex anywhere to be
found are the young American girls Of
to-day.
OF course, Die Lewis only helped to
bring about this happy result, for many
causes contributed to 1t, but we accord
him great praise for the part he took IN
inspiring our young women and their
parents with enthusiasm for health and
| physical exercIse.-N. I. Sun.
