The other day heard a good story
on Hon. z. NJ. B. Young, who was a
member of Congress from Georgia a
tewegeags AGO. The drawing for the

man from one of the back districts of
North Carolina. The latter was
raised in the backwoods, and much
unused to the requirements of polite
society. He had habit of using his
fingers for service that most people
delegate to a handkerchief. After en-
ploying them in that way he would
wipe them on various parts of his
desk and chair. Mr.. Young stood
this reprehensible conduct on the
part of his neighbor as long as he
could. One day, on his way to the
capitol, he bought half dozen nice
handkerchiefs in box. He took
them to the folding room and had
one OF the employees wrap the box in
paper, bearing the trade mark House
of Representatives Then he placed
it properly addressed, on the desk Of
the offending member.
Hello ne said to Mr.. Young, as
his eyes fell upon the parcel, "what
have we got here r
Il guess it's some handkerchiefs,' -
said Young. "We've all been get

around at the expense of the govern

"Wall, now" said the back coun-

examined the contents, ''them's real

MORAL LEPROSY.

When respectable people receive
into their social circles young men
who may be seen drunk on the
streets and who do not feel them
selves disgraced, they may expect
the character of their sons and
daughters to take its tone from the
endorsement which they thus put up
on reckless disregard of public de-
cency. And this principle applies to
any other line of conduct that di-
verges from the straight path of pub
lie and private morality. If society
opens its doors to the habitues OF
brothels, the manners of the brothel
will infect society. The line must be
drawn somewhere between decency
and corruption. A father who would
allow perple to come from small
pox hospital and mingle with his fam
lily would be considered foolish or in
sane. Is it not more foolish to neg
lect to guard our families against the
contagion of moral leprosy Carol

CALLED BACK FROM DEATH.
Chicago Special.

Five weeks ago the wife of Charles
z. Pruin, dentist, gave birth to a
child. This was followed by an at
tack of puerperal mania. They were
living at Oak Park. AS his wife
rapidly grew worse Mr.. Pruin CON
suited a city physician, who, after
seeing the patient, recommended the
use OF anesthetics. The city doctor
did not continue to handle the case.
but an Oak Park physician was call
ed in. He also adopted the same
treatment, administering strong do
SEES of morphine. The lady was found
to be rapidly sinking till on Sunday
night she fell back on the pillow life
less. Her breathing had ceased and
the pulse was gone. The attending
physician distinctly pronounced her
dead.
The husband was frantic, and rush
ing to the bedside of his wife put his
ear to her heart. He thought he
could detect faint throb. The ply
stefan again assured him that life
was extinct, but in order to satisfy
Mr.. Pruin he called in another doctor
of the village. He, too, made an ex-
animation, and confirmed the report
of his brother physician that his pa
tent was dead. Still the husband
would not be convinced. He placed
his hand upon his wife's chest and
tried to produce an artificial respira-
ton, having long made a special
study cf the use of an@sthetics in
connection with his profession. He
proceeded to work the arm back and
forth, pressing his hand on the chest
producing an artificial movement.
The two doctors demonstrated with
ed a proclamation of the dead. He
continued his efforts, and after a few
minutes the patient began slowly to
revive. She is now able to move
around. The doctors confess that
she would have died but for these ex-
traordinary efforts at restoration.

A CLEVER CRITIC HAS NOTICED

That purses will hold nickles as
well as gold.
That all men are honest when well
watched.
That there are more gratitude in
dogs than there is in men.
That poverty is the worse banner
that man can put up.
That young wife with an old man
is like a light in a sick room.
That the most enduring love is that
ola mother for her children.
That nearly every office seeker is
the right man in the right place.
That mock philanthropy is like Civ
ing a merchant a pair of boots.
That life is too short to give young
men advice as to whom to marry.
That most men choose a wife as a
child does a doll, no matter if the
head is filled with sawdust.
That diamonds, silks, furs, broad
cloth, velvet, gold watches and chains
are often bought with other peoples
money.

conjugal intimacy seems to exist be-

he feels-talks of love from morning
to night; but she never gives him
permission to kiss so much as her

she gives heart and soul to amuse-

She originates French fashions. Pa

women despise her. Men of all coun-

her, unless she has an immense for

than golden hair; her black ewes are
bold and frank; she has patent

walks she moves briskly, and throws

Divorce is said to be quite common
in Burmah, and to be effected by
every simple means. The man and
wife having agreed to separation,
light eacha candle, and seating them
selves, watch to see which will burn
out first. The owner of the candle
which lasts longest corresponds to
the person who, in our civilization,
Obtains the decree" The hut that
the pair have occupied, its utensils
and furniture, and all that the cou-
pie have owned, become the property
of the one whose candle has shown
the superior endurance, and the other
goes forth with only the clothing
which he or she may have on at the
time. The need that Burmah gro
Ger has to be utterly trustworthy in
the matter of candles will be under
stood. 1t would be ruin to him to
sell poor articles to ladies and gen
tlemen contemplating divorce.

An English nobleman was shaving
and accidentally cut his cheek with
the razor. The blood trickled down
his face, and his little girl, who was
standing by, exclaimed; sob, papa,
let Fido lick the blood off," Fido
was a pet poodle, and the indulgent
father good naturally consented.
The wound healed and nothing was
thought Of it until the nobleman was
travelling in Canada. He was on the
st. Lawrence river in a steamer.
Turning to a companion, he remark
ed ''The splashing of the paddle

If thou art rich, then show the
greatness of thy fortune; or what is
better, the greatness of thy soul in
the meekness of thy conversation !;
condescend to men of low estate !;
support the distressed and patronize
the neglected. Be great, but let it
be in considering riches as they are,
as talents committed to an earthen
vessel. Thou art but the receiver,
and to be obliged and to be vain too
is but the old solecism of pride and
beggary, which, though they often
meet, yet ever make but an absurd
society.

The way to wealth is as plain as
the way to market. 1t depends chief

money, but make the best use of
both. Without industry and frugal

everything.

The VITALITY OF SEEDs.-The
seeds of the willow will not germi-
nate after having been once dry. The
seeds of coffee andvarious otherplants
do not terminate after having been
kept for any considerable time.
Wheat over two centuries old has
been found quite fit for food but the
grains usually lose their power Of
growth after lapse of seven years.
Specimens rye and wheat known to
be 1875 years old could not be induc-
ed to terminate. "The stories OF
mummy wheat sprouting after hav-
ing lain dormant in Egyptian tombs
for thousands of years are to say the
least of them, very dubious" declares
DR.. Robert Brown, f. L. S. "No
we'll authenticated instances OF such
finds are extant, while among other
articles sold by the Arabs to credu-
louS travellers, as coming OUT OF the
same tomb as the ancient wheat, have
been dahliabulbs and maize the posi-
ton of which they were said to be
extracted necessitates the belief that
300 years ago the subjects Of the
Pharaohs were engaged in commerce
with America" When kept dry and
protected from light and air however,
seeds have been known to retain their
vitality for some heightened periods.
Seed Of the bean and pea order have
sprouted after 100 years storage in
an herbarium, and many similar in
stances-most of them somewhat
doubtful-have been recorded.

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.
An Occupation Which Proves Extremely
CongeEial to Women.

An Occupation Which Proves Extremely
Congenial to Women.
There evidently is one kind of tsusi-
ness for which women seem to be well
fitted, judging from the number en-
gagged in it, and that is telegraphy.
Strolling about the city and dropping
into almost any telegraph Office from
Harlem to the I'attery there may be
seen the female operator and, as a gen.
eral thing, she will be seen to be young
and pretty and wide awake to her
business. She will sometimes have
about her number of s,lbordinates of
the opposite sex in the form of callow
youths and messenger boys, over whom
she queens it with right royal will
and an air of authority that is charming
to behold. Generally these young
women are very pleasant and obliging;
only occasionally will one come across
a terror, whose very look will freeze
him to the marrow. However, they
all seem to give satisfaction to their
employers and to attend we'll to their
work, and appear to be rapidly monop-
olizing the telegraphic business. Far
out on the Western plains, wherever
there is road station, almost invaria-
ably the traveller sees pretty lace or
muslin. curtain at the window, bird
cage hanging up aloft and some flower
ing plants on the narrow sill, or vine
trained up over the red door (these
stations all along the line of the road
are painted dull. dark red), and other
signs of the feminine presence, and if
he looks out as the train stops he will
be nearly sure to see bright, neatly
dressed, white-aproned young woman
come to the door and stand gazing out
at the train and watching the passen-
gers with a half-pleased, half-sorry air.
This is the local telegraph operator,
who has taken up her lonely life out
here on the alkali desert amid the sage
brush, and whose only glimpse of the
world she has left behind her is this
brief acquaintance with che trains
which pass and repass two or three
times during the day. These are true
types, all of them, of our brave Amer
lean girl, whose courage is equal to tho
amorgency.--N Z. World.
