A sAGE.BRusM WEDDING.

North Of this point $50 miles lies the
cattle country of the Big Horn basin.
On Owl Creek few settlers have gath
cred in and formed the nucleus of what
III the next few years will be large
and prosperous farming community.
but as yet it is only the nucleus, and
the sway of the COW boy is regnant. In.
telligence has just reached here of the
first wedding of the section. Big
Charley has welded Meetutse Nance, a
native sage-brush belle. The bride and
groom came seveaty-five miles on horse
back to the squire's, the former sitting
on her broncho as firmly and squarely
as Big Charley, and in exactly the same
fashion. When within few miles of
the squire's they met that functionary,
surrounded by some half dozen cow
boys, and now the fair bride turned
restive and declared that she did not
propose to marry any man on earth.
But the boys were equal to the occasion,
and SO was the Justice aud the groom.
At short distance stood an empty cor-
raj.
Take her over to the corral, boys,
and put her in, " said his Honor.
Meetutse Nance made a wild break
for the hills as she heard the order, but
the days of her freedom were about
over. She was quickly run down, and
amid volley OF feminine sage-brush
eloquence the delighted boys started on
the lope for the corral Reaching there
Nance jumped from her broncho and
tried to gain some adjacent brush, but
it was no 20. However, she fought
vigorously, and his Honor ordered
"Hobble her, boys" The boys were in
eestasies. A pair Of rawhide hobbies
were stripped from cayuse's neck,
and their twist adjusted about the
sturdy ankles OF the struggling bride.
She was conveyed into the corral and

and catch on to her hand.
This done, his Honor assumed the
look of dignified importance called for
by the occasion, aud said: - Big

a Daily DtaIcation.

The Hon. John Kelly, the head and
front of Tammany Hall, man of strict
integrity, an interchangeable worker,
early at his Office, late to leave, so
burdened with business that regular
meals were seldom known by him,
with mind in constant tension and
energies steadily troined, finally broke
down!
The wonder is that he did not sooner
give way. An honest man in all things
else, he acted unfairly with his physical
resources. He was ever drawing upon
this bank without ever depositing col
lateral. The account overdrawn, the
bank suspends and both are now in the
hands of medical receivers.
1t is not work that kills men. It is
irregularity of habits and mental worry.
No man in good health frets st his
work. Bye and bye when the bank Of
vigor suspends, these men will
wonder how it all happened, and they
will keep wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid
physician or interested friend will point
out to them how by irregularity, by
excessive mental effort, by constant
worry and fret, by plunging in deeper
than they had a right to go, they have
produced that loss of nervous energy
which almost invariably expresses itself
in a deranged condition of the kidneys
and liver, for it is a well-known fact
that the poison which the kidneys and
liver should remove from the blood, if
left therein, soon knocks the life out of
the strongest and most vigorous man or
woman. Daily building up of these
vital organs by 50 wonderful and highly
reputed specific as Warmers safe
cure, is the only guarantee that our
business men can have that their
strength will be equal to the labors daily
put upon them.
Mr.. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we
learn, Indicating, as we have said, a
breakdown, Of nerve force. His case
should be q warning to others who,
pursuing like course, will certainly
reach like result.-lhe Sunday Her.

Two Curious Dreams.

"Dreams are funny things, aren't
they?" exclaimed a traveller on the
Minneapolis & st. Louis train to a st.
Paul Globe reporter. 'Now of that
rapidity of thought, that leading up to
an accident that L consider most re-
markable. Not long ago L was on a
visit to 4 cousin and while there an
other cousin, 4 doctor, came. | had
the only spare room and of course the
new arrival was sent in to sleep with
me. We had the bed with the head up
against Il door which had a transom-
4 good-sized transOm with two big
panes of glass. During the first night
the transom fell down and we were
awakened from a sound sleep by our
faces cracking through the glass.
Scared Well, l should say so.
But the funny part of the thing was
the different way in which our mental
powers accounted for the very same
physical sensation-breaking glass and
more or less scratching and cutting,
but nothing serious to either. l was a
travelling man even in my sleep, and
when the crash came-which of course
was OilIN q SCCOild DC1OIC VIC WcI6 luC
awake dreamed | was on a sleeping
car and was enjoying a lower berth. 1
thought the train had jumped the
track, and in trying to look out and
see what was the trouble l was thrown
against the window glass and awoke.
Now, the doctor dreamed, as he in
formed me, that he had passed into a
trance and while thus powerless to
move he was placed in a casket and
prepared for the narrow little home
beneath the sod. He had been reading
of 4 similar case, and the details were
first in his mind. In his dreamy trou-
bles he thought that just as the sor-
rowing relatives We're about to remove
him and the casket from the old parlor
he broke out in n profuse preparation
and the result was that, the room being
warm, steam was generated in the
casket, and the glass face covering was
broken, the pieces naturally falling
over his face. Now, there was one
and the same accident, and two people
similarly affected by it expressed it so
differently in their Dreams"

The Immunity Of Physicians.

1t is a prevalent popular impression
that some special providence surrounds
the physician with protective agencies,
and that, although daily exposed to
disease in its most malignant forms, he
escapes when others are attacked. DR..
Ogle, of England, finds that while the
lawyers die at the rate OF 20, The
clergy at the rate of IS, the doctors
mortality is % per 1000. In million
adults other than physicians 16 died of
scarlet fever, IA of diphtheria, and 23S
of typhoid fever; while of an equal
number of physicians. 80 succumbed
to scarlet fever, 50 to diphtheria, and
81 to typhoid fever. Smallpox, OF
the other hand, claims more victims
among the laity than in the medical
profession; due, doubtless. to the fact
that physicians have sufficient conf
dence in the protective influence of
vaccination to keep themselves insus-
ceptible to the attacks of smallpox.

H~ydrOphObia Durable.

Hydrophobia is durable. 1t may
even be combated by force of will.
There are instances on record where
strongminded men have shaken it off,
after the development of the symptoms,
by determining not to give way. One
well known surgeon shook the disease
off in a single day by taking violent ex-
ercise and forgetting all about it.
If you wish to prove what the result
of dwelling on one idea may be. try a
simple experiment. Hold your arm
out at full length with the fingers ex-
tended and say My forefiager is going
to ache" Concentrate your mind that
it is going to ache, presently the pain
will commence. Then say, THE pain
is going to extend to the elbow" In
minute you will feel the elbow begin 10
ache. You can bring pain to any part
of the body by concentrating your
mind upon the idea that there is going
to be a pain there. In half the cases
of hydrophobia the sufferers mind has
been concentrated for weeks upon the
symptoms which have been described
as the result of a dog bite. If a dog
btes you, first cauterize the wound,
and then cauterize your mind.-London

SPANISH
Cruel Treatment of the wretches
Confined in Theln-Punish-
ment for Murder and

Ihear that there is a great deal of
dirt, cruelty, misery, and mlsmanage-
ment in Spanish prisons, writes a Paris
correspondent. In nearly every pro-
vincial town there is a p]reuencion or
corcet, under the authority of the
alcalde, and in the hands of the civil
guards and town police. This stone
building, which you enter by an open
barred gate. against which ONE prison.
ers are idly leaning smoking their pa
per cigarettes, consists of two Or three
stone-t1agged chambers above and the
same number below stairs. The upper
chambers are devoted to women the
lower to men, caught in fagronte
deLictu, who await there the mandate
of the authorities, which shall either
free or send them to the nearest prison
or carcet proper, there to lie herded
with a host of m~alefactors until their
trials shall be concluded. The prison.
ers in these lock-ups fare badly indeed.
In the summer scorche,l with heat,
eaten by vermin in the winter, sleeping
without either bed OF rug OF the cold
stones, with but one meal a day of
coarse rancho or pottage, they pass their
time leaning against the bars scoffing
at passers by in the street. They curse
and swear, gamble away their clothes,
and in the intervals between these
pastimes call on God, on heaven, and
the Virgin to deliver them. They are
kept there it may be a few days and it
may be for six or seven years. The
conversation is made up of blasphemy
and obscenity; the dirt is appalling, the
allotted food wretched. Many are
brought to these dens merely as sus-
pected accomplices of some crime, and
they are kept there and thus hardly
treated until they have confessed all
they know. With the women the hard
treatment, the exposure, the absence of
decency, often bring about the desired
effect, and they confess and betray all
With the men a iogging coupled with
this bad fare and all the rest of it, often
extracts a confession.
So much for the common jails of
Spain. AS for the convict establish
ments, where those sentenced to longer
terms of seclusion are confined, the
best are those of Cartagena and Seville.

REST AWHILE.

I will be still to-day and rest,
will be still and let life drift;
i am so tired that ii is best
Neither my hands nor eyes to lift
/ am so tired-it is no use,
My win cannot my need obey;
o Care, ! ask a few hours truce,
/ pray thee let me rest to-day.
And so, shut up in restful gloom,
l let my hands drop listlessly;
Within my dim and silent room
/ would not move, or hear, or see,
Oblivion dropped on me her balm,
i fell on slumber deep and sweet,
And when | woke was strong and calm,
And full of rest from head to feet.
So, toiler in life's weary ways,
Pity thyself, for thou must tire:
Both body, mind and heart have days
They can not answer their desire.
Birds in all seasons do not sing,
Flowers have their time to bloom and fall;
There is not any living thing
Can answer to a ceaseless call.
Sometimes, tired head, seek slumber deep;
Tired hands, no burden try to lift;
Tired heart, thy watch let others keep,
Pity thyself and let life drift.
A few hours rest perchance may bring
Relief from WEAKNESS and pain;
And thou from listless langours spring,
And gladly lift thy work again.

Our Indians-A Suggestion.

The Indians in our southern borders
are reported to have a habit among
them of tightening up their belts
whenever they miss a meal. That is,
if they miss breakfast they tighten up
the belt one hole. If they miss dinner
they repeat the tightening, thus seek
ing to diminish the size of the cavity
on the inside of them, which is usually
filled up at meal times by eating, by
pressure from without. Those familiar
with the Indians and their way of life
hold that the practice is a good substi-
tute for the missed meals, but it is only
for temporary benefit. You can't go
on always drawing in the belt. The
worst will come at last; yet it does help
some, so they say, and that being the
case, the Herald in its solicitude for the
welfare of certain United States offici-
ais who will be deprived of a hearty
meal or SO, through Congress cutting
down the Utah appropriations, calls
the attention of those certain officials
of this practice among the half-starved
Southern Utes. Draw up your belts,
gentlemen, a hole or too, and console
yourself with the reflection hat repub-
lies are ~ungrateful to their servants
any way.-SaH Lake Herald.

The Newest Craze Among Users OF
the Weed.
'I want you to try this cigar" said a
gentleman yesterday. as he handed out
a fine-looking specimen of the weed.
| 1t was a good one, and the smoker said
so.
THAT was made on Friday" said
the gentleman. II got it in Reading.
There's q cigar manufacturer there
who does nothing but make fresh
Havana cigars, ut 81 a hundred, to be
| smoked at once. The idea is all the
| rage there, and he has as much as he
| can do. On Saturdays, especially. he
has more than he can do. Persons

Il don't know of any such a thing in

inent cigar-dealers and manufacturers
last evening, '.but | don't see anything
wrong in it. We have to keep all our
fine imported cigars fresh. We
SObtltl L oCll lCIh IL W. NiNAA
.'But how do you keep them freshe'
"'Well, you see this case here. The
lowest priced cigar in it is three for a
quarter. All these boxes sit on tin
boxes. which contain water"
These boxes are made in New
York" he continued, especially for
this purpose. They have q sheet of
heavy felt inside of them, which we
keep moistened with water. 1t does
not do to make them too wet, for then
the water would get into the cigars
and they would turn moldy. They
must be watched all the time to see
that they are kept just moist enough.
Cigars that are not in the case we keep
in an air-tight, zinc-lined box. A
Havana cigar must never be allowed to
dry out; it spoils the flavor. That, at
least, is my judgment, and that of all
the best judges of a cigar. A cigar
that has any Havana in it must be
that it burns up too rapidly when dry,
but it loses the delicate flavor. A cigar
that has no Havana in it is better the
older and drier it becomes, and it must
be kept away from moisture. You see
in this case there are no water-boxes.
There are some good cigars here, but
they have no Havana in them.
"a man who buys 100 fresh cigars
with Havana in them must be = rapid
smoker, or have a good many friends,
if they will keep fresh for him until
they are all gone. unless he takes care
to keep them moist. That Reading
man has probably got u new scheme,
and has succeeded i'll making it the
fashion. There's a great deal in get
ting it to be the thing in any such
plan. The best judges and lovers of
good cigars that L know of prefer to
buy what they want each day, as they
can be more certain of having them
just to suit their taste. "-Pttsbwrgh

The Stuff Brought Them.

Colonel Phil. Janrey, the drummer
