eminent circles here that NJ ondragon will
be convicted OF murder and suffer the

Cats in Grent Britain.

The number of cats in the United
Kingdom is estimated at fully 1000, 900.
A charge this from the olden days when
cats were so scarce in Britain that strin-
gent laws were passed for the punish
ment of persons who killed or stole them.
In those times the cats belonging to roy
atty were specially protected, and if any
one killed one of the mousers that
guarded the Princes granary he had to
pay fine of as much wheat as would
cover the cat when hung up by the tail,
with its head touching the floor. Any
one who has ever had occasion to make
a heap of wheat will know that, in the
case Of a good sized cat, this would mean
no small quantity

A lady who took exception to her hus-
bands habituhl wakefulness is credited
with the invention of a mechanical de-
vice that it is promised shall do more to
induce sleep than all the opiates, chloral
hydrates, and raw onions have ever done.
The machine looks like a very long $.
and is made in hard rubber, with a pad
on one of its inner curves. At one end is
soft leather strap; at the other its curve
forms handle. In use the left hand
pulls down the strap-aftef the instru-
ment is placed on the neck-and the
right hand laid on the handle presses down
firmly, but not too firmly, the pad which
rests on the carotid artery, so as to di.
minish the flow of the blood to the brain.
During sleep the brain is apparently
bloodless. A rush of blood to the brain
creates insomnia. 1t was not remorse so
much as an excess Of blood in his brain
that kept the Thane of Cawdor awake.
The 'somnolizer" keeps back the blood
and sleep ensues naturally.

MInts to Consumptives.

Consumptives should use food.Ss nourishing
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the pa
tient.
Outdoor exercise is earnestly recommended
If you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you
should take exercise in a carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great arrangement of the secretions, with
engagement of air-cells there is always
profuse expectoration. Now Pso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement
of the secretions, and consequently land in
this way only diminishes the amount of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up cough, but removes the cause of it.
When it is impossible from debility or other
causes to exercise freely in the open AIR, apart
ments occupied by the patient should be so
ventilated as to, ensure the constant accession
OF fresh air in abundance.
The surface of the body should be sponged
as often as every third day with tepid water
and little soft-soap., This is preferable to
ks
friction with the hand moistened with oil,
Cod-Liver or Olive is the best. This keeps the
pores of the skin in a soft, pliable condition,
which contributes materially TO the unloading
of waste matter from the system through this
organ. You Will please recollec; we cure.th s
disease by enabling the organs of the system
20 perform their functions in q normal way,
or, in other wolds, we remove obstruction
while the recuperatlve powers of the system
cure the disease.
We will here say word in regard to cough
In the forming stage, where there is no CON
stitutional or noticeable disease. cough
may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take
IL in its mi des form, TO say the least, il is a
nuisance, and should be abated
A cough is unlike any other symptom of dis
ease. II stands a conspirator, with threaten
ing voice, menacing the health and existence
of vital organ, Its first approach is in whis-
pers unintelligible and at first too often un-
needed, but in time il never fails to MAKE itself
understOod-never fails to claim the attention
of those on whom it calls.
IL you have cough without disease OF the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so
much the better, as a few does of Piso's Cure
Will be all you may need, while If you re far
advanced IN Consumption, several bottles may
be required TO effect permanent cure.

Journeymen plumbers IN New York
work under cast-iron rules as to time,
wages, etc. A card is posted up in every
shop with the rules of the organization,
which must be obeyed by men and boss.
Work begins at in the morning and
ends at in the afternoon, provided it is
then light enough to see. If it grow
too dark to work later, the men stop
and call it days work. They refuse to
use candles or gas. Journeymen are
paid $3.50 day for nine hours, and
eight hours on Saturday. They have an
hour day for dinner Only one ap-
prentice is allowed to every four journey
men, and helper is never allowed to
touch tool. Only the regular ap-
prentices are taught anything. No men,
Der of the union is allowed to work with
a non-union man. Every job is visited
from time to time by the walking dele
gate of the union, who inspects the mems
cards. If a non-union man is found at
work the union plumbers are withdrawn
if that does not suffice the workmen OF
every kind in the building are Withdrawn.
A boss cannot do any work himself unless
he is member of the union in good
standing They cannot do any in their

have been in use for some years. The
time was reduced to nine hours and the
pay made $S.50 day about a year ago.

"RuIes of the Road .

This phrase has more than ordinary
significance in its reference to the rules
governing the rights Of persons riding or
driving on public highways In Ireland
it is not only the custom to keep to the
left in riding or driving upon the high
way. but it is established by act of Par
lament In IA and Is Victoria, cap. 90,
sec. 13, it is provided that ssAny person
driving any carriage whatsoever, or rid
ing any horse or other animal shall not
keep his carriage, horse, or other animal
on the left or near side of the road or
street, : shall be liable to a fine
not exceeding ten shillings." This is ex-
actly the reverse of the practice in this
country. The same act provides that in
passing any other carriage or horse going
in the same direction, the rule shall be:
wherever it is practicable to go or pass
to the right or off side of such other car
riage or horse or other animal" viola
ton of which causes the same penalty.
This is the reverse of the usual practice
here, but follows from the first. In Great
Britain the carriage in ad vance, when it
turns to meet vehicle approaching,
turns to the left, and if the one follow
ing were to pass on the left it would be
liable to constant collisions, as the first
carriage might run into it very inno-
Gently. Here the carriage in meeting
turns to the right, and the following car
riage is only safe in passing when it goes
by on the left. The rule in England and
Ireland is, therefore, in meeting turn to
the left, in following pass to the right.
In this country in meeting turn to the
right; in following, pass the carriage in
front of you to the left GlO6e-Deuso-
cyot.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The working Of the good and brave,
seen or unseen, endures literally forever,
and can not die.
Nothing more indicates the true gen
tleaan than desire eyinced to oblige
or accommodate.
If you have built castles in the
air, your work need not be lost; that is
where they should be; now put founda-
tions under them. TAOreau.
Get into the habit of looking for the
silver lining Of the cloud, and when you
have found it, continue to look at it,
rather than at the leaden grey in the
middle. It will help you over many
hard places.
When you make a mistake don't look
back at it long. Take the reason Of the
thing into your own mind, and then
look forward, Mistakes are lessons Of
wisdom. The past can not be changed.
The future is yet in your power.
Always say kind word if You can,
if only that it may come in, perhaps,
with singular opportunities, entering
some mournful mans darkened room
like beautiful FREELY, whose happy con
volutions he cannot but watch, forget
ting bis many troubles.
The good we can each accomplish ID
this world is small. The good that all
men in ages could accomplish if they
would is vast. But in order that this
may be done each working being must
serve his own generation and do his part
to render the next generation more eff
cient.
Doing nothing for others is the undo
ing Of ones self. We must be purposely
kind and generous, Or We miss the best
part Of existence. The heart that goes
out of itself gets large and full of JOY.
This is the great secret of inner life.
We do ourselves the most good doing
something for Others.

Underground Life in France.

In the Cevennes mountains, IN central
France, there is village named La
Beage, the inhabitants of which practi-
cally live underground the greater part Of
the year. It is A, 25o feet above the sea
and in the bottom Of pass where the
snow is rapidly heaped up BY the winds.
As soon as the snow begins to fall in
large quantities, says arecent visitor, the
inhabitants retire indoors, and it is not
long before the low-roofed cottages are
buried, the only means by which the air
can reach the interioi being down the
SINGLE chimney, which in all the cottages
is built very wide and substantial The
snow gradually mounts so high that the
door will not open, and at last the win
dows are blocked up.
The inhabitants lay in a good supply
Of bread, cheese and salt pork for them
selves, and of hay and straw in the out
house for their COW and horse; and, al
though the men occasionally 60 out by
way Of the chimney, the women and chill
dren live in the fetid atmosphere all the
winter. They spend their time making
cane chairs and baskets, doing little
rude wood carving, and knitting stock
ings, while, if the snow does not melt in
amonth or 50, the people burrow tunnels
from house to house, and 50 get little
society. Should death occur, the body
is roughly cofined and laid upon the
roof until thaw makes the cemetery
accessible.
