Preacher and LandIord.

When Rev. DR.. Tappan was the agent
of the American Home Mission society he
once made a trip through the northeast
ern part of Maine on horseback. 1t was
before the days of railroads. On arriv-
ing at Mattawamkeag, where he was
pleasantly entertained, he was told he
had better remain over night there, as the
place which he intended to make his
next station was rather rough and I'M
comfortable, and the landlord was a rude,
.blasphemous man, who might not use
him well. But DIR. Tappan was anxious
to carry out his itinerary as he had
planned it, and iourneyed on. He ar
rived at his destination at dusk. The land
lord came out, greeted him cordially,
took his horse and put him up, FASTENED
in to help entertain his reverend guest,
prepared nice warm supper for him, and
was as polite as a lightning rod agent.
just before DR.. Tappan retired, the
landlord and all his family, arranged in
procession according to their ages filed into
the room with much decOrum, and the
doctor was asked to lead them in family
worship, which he cheerfully did.
The next morning after the doctor had
dressed, the host, his wife, his boys, and
all his girls, all neatly attired, came in
again, and the same request was made
and granted.
After a good breakfast the doctors
nag was brought to the door, saddled
and bridled, and the good man prepared
to go on his way. He asked for his
bill.
"Not cent, said the landlord, cheer.

The doctor thought this reply was
strange from landlord preceded by
such an Interpolation, and said "Whyl
l must pay you for my entertainment.
"You don't owe me a cent, said the
inn-keeper. "The fact is that tin ped.
oilers, butchers, drovers, tishmen, and all
classes of people come here to stop with
me, and make it point to take my pay
in their own line whenever l can. fvt

Good morning, sir!"

JOkePs Outwitted.

A party of smart young students in a
certain town in Kentucky conceived the
brilliant idea last winter of hazing their
new professor. 1t was decided after
much deliberation to invite him COON
hunting, and after leading him about in
the woods until completely bewildered
to abandon him, and let him find his way
back to the settlement or remain in the
woods all night. Now, as the professor
was stranger and weighed over two
hundred pounds, this scheme seemed too
funny for anything, and many hearty
laugh did they have over it. The invi-
tation was given and accepted; the APP
pointed night came, cold and clear with
several feet of snow on the ground.
Everything moved along as arranged.
The professor seemed guileless and I'M
suspecting, but beneath his puffy eyelids
now and then cleaned an amusing twin
kle. They had plodded through the
snow for several hours, and the leader
was about to give the signal to disperse
when the professor sank to the ground
with a groan of agony.

tacks again. For mercy's sake, boys,
get me to place of shelter or I'm dead
man."
Talk about scared boys. Here they
were nearly five miles from the nearest
house and an apparently dying man on
their hands. Something must be done
and quickly, too. A litter was hastily
improvised, and with coats for cushions,
the professor was gently laid thereon and
homeward they started, a sorry set Of
practical jokers, taking turns at carrying
their massive precaptor.
Not sound was heard but the moan!
of the professor and the grunts of the
students, VINO were straining every nerve
to keep from jostling the patient. Aftc
what seemed score of miles, the weary
bedraggled fellows carefully lowered
their burden to snatch few minutes res
before entering the village, which wa

His Game Wouldn't Work.

Judge Peterby came home not long ago
pale as ghost and trembling all over.
''What's the matter" asked his wife.
''Nad dog bit me. In less than two
hours I'll be raving mad and swapping at
everybody who comes near me-"
Judge Peterby," said his wife, calmly,
''yOu can't work that little game on me.
Ma is going to stay right here in the house
and help me take care of you"
81 expect I'll have to go to Paris and
be treated by Pasteur," said Peterby.
"Ma and I will go along with you"
Up to the time of our going to press
Peterby has developed no signs of hydro
phobia, but to say that he is mad is no
exaggeration whatever.

He Broke in His Successor.

A story they tell about Andrew Jeck,
the veteran railway mail clerk, comes in
well at this time, when they are making
so many changes in the postal service.
jock is the oldest railway mail clerk in
Maine and there are few, if any, on the
postal cars anywhere, as old as he; yet
he is active, efficient, and as sharp as
letter of removal from Villas. Years
ago another fellow succeeded in getting
himself appointed to fill Jeck's place,
Of course JGck consented to make one or
two trips with him to show him the
ropes. 1t happened that on the first trip
they made together there was an acct
dent and the car was thrown from the
track Jack caught firmly hold of his
table when he felt the first jar and came
out of the accident unscathed and not in
the least disconnected. The novice was
flung in heap into one corner and badly
bruised.
'Does this sort of thing happen very
often3" he asked Jeck.
"Oh yes" said Jeck, "And forgot
to tell you that we all have a place to
cling to, when it comes. You must have
a holding-place purposely fixed to get a
stiff grip on with your hands"
The top of the car was much battered
by time and the new man asked, before
they had gone much further on the route
"Mr. Jeck, what has made all those
scars in the top of the car2'
"That's nothing" said Jeck. 'Tt's
only where my heels have struck when
I've been tossed into the air by accidents
such as we have had this morning"
When they finished their run, the new
appointee said he guessed he had enough
of it, and would go back to selling
groceries for living; and Jeck stayed
in the railway mail service then and ever
after.

A TERRIBLE THOUGHT.
The Unseen Dangers that Are in the Face
of Most Men aud Women To-day.
THEIR CALM CONSIDERATION.

1t is a terrible thought that at all times,
whether sleeping or waking, we are surrounded
by dangers. The air we breathe, the water we
drink and the food we eat may and too ofte
do, contain absolute poison, which if they do
not actually kill often cause disease and suf-
fering that are almost as terrible. And espec-
tally is this true just at this season of the year.
The changes that are taking place in the air
and i'll the ground are dangerous to health and
spring fevers that seem to defy the doctors are
appearing on every side. People must be care
full, must keep the body strong, must eat and
sleep well, or death is at their side Indeed
some healthful and nourishing stimulants
should be used, and we know Of nothing so
good for this purpose as Hoptonic. This popu-
lar remedy is said to combine great nourishing
properties with stimulating and appetizing
powers owing to thu Peptonize1 beef which it
contains. In this respect it is the first remedy
ever compounded for this purpose, which is
after all the only true obje t of any tonic. Amy
man or woman who feels tired or languid
times; who does not relish food; whose blood
is out Of order and whose sleep is not refresh
ing is in danger, and should give it immed ate
attention But in doing so great care should
be observed to use only that which is known
and has been proven to be pure, healthful and
restoring, and we can cordially recommend
Hoptonic as being precisely this.

The Twins of Locana.

A Vienna correspondent writes: "John
and Jacob Tocci, the twins of LOcana,
who have been shown IN almost every
city OF Europe as the successors OF the
famous Slamese twins, are dying in the
Prater. The boys resemble each other
exactly, ard are now in their tenth year.
John and Jacob are separate as far as
the sixth rib, and have one abdomen and
one pair of legs between them, Jacob
moves the right leg, John the left. The
twins cannot walk, and keep their bal
ance by lacing their arms round each
others neck. Jacob eats often and
heartily, and is the healthier of the tive.
and TO all appearance il is be VINO keeps
his brother alive. Two days ago the
twins quarreled over toy, and John
grew so excited that mis- heart-bood sud
denly ceased TO flow, and he changed TO a
condition OF complete lethargy, from
which he had not awoke on the following
morning. The boy mad suffered from the
same complaint year ago in Berlin, aud
Prof. Virchow then declared that recur-
renee OF the letbargy would certainly put
an end to the TWINS life. A number OF
Vienna physicians are observing the
malady, but tney entertain little hope OF
Johns life, and il John dies, Jacob must
follow HIM to the grave. The twins as they
lie in their bed offer strange contrast.
JACOB with feverlsn ewes ana red face
seems to harbor all the blood that mas re-
treated from JOhn's lifeless body. The
conscious boy cries necessarily, because
be has often heard Prof. Virchow's re-
mark repeated, and knows that his BROTH
er's death is but the harbinger OF
his own. The poor creatures are meeting
with the same fate that some time ago
put an end 10 the life Of the Siamese
twins, the second Of whom died OF pois-
oned blood vessels, after having spent
six terrible hours with the corpse
of his brother. The ACCESSIBILITY OF
an operation separating the
living from the dead brother was dis
cussed at the time, but before Il resolu-
ton could be taken death had done its
work. The twins of Locana, who for the
