A Hint to Wives.

Many married women lose all pride of
personal appearance when in the privacy of
their own homes. The husband goes on
and dresses just as he did before marriage,
and the matter of dress has much to do
with the subject. 1t is one of the illusions
that we must have to make life enjoyable.
But wife says she is poor and can not
dress well. Every woman is well dressed
who is dressed in good taste, and good taste
descends to calico and a white apron. Not
even Carlyle in the INVESTIGATIONS of " Sar-
tor Resartus" got down to the true philoso-
ply of clothes. He never explained the
charm of good dress. The difference be-
tween clothes and no clothes at all is not as
great as the difference between good
clothes and bad clothes, for the latter dis
figure and distort what nature has already
done. Women can dress better than men.
They have greater variety of styles and
colors to draw on, and fashion ALWAYS per-
mits them wide range. There is no rea-
son why married woman of even ''moder-
ate circumstances should not be well
dressed at home as well as abroad. But
how many women are there who study the
art of dressing well at home. They buy
slippers and smoking jackets and studying
gowns for their husbands, while they them
selves wander about in untidy, scare-crow
negligence. Perhaps it is true that even
rags are royal raiment when worn for
virtues sake" but they ought to be clean
and so ought the wearer, otherwise virtue
loses half of its charm. Many a wife is
panied to observe the waning interest in
her husband without suspecting why or
how, when, in truth, the trouble is tracea-
BILE to little negligence on her part as to
her personal appearance. She assumes that
he is no longer impressed or influenced by
the mere appearance of things. She attires
the children in their best for him to see
and admire, while she herself sits by, a
spectacle of unlovely carelessness. Beloved
reader, do you not call up many picture
like this where the well meaning and
really devoted housewife foregoes all per-
sonal adornments III her efforts TO adorn
the other members of her family? There
is where she makes mistake. She ought
to adorn herself as the others

A TRUMP TRAMP.-We find the follow
ing in the Anderson Shasta county, Echo !.
Last Wednesday evening, while the rain
came down in torrents and the wind blew
miniature hurricane, a tramp, forlorn,
foot-sore and Pennies, was slouching along
the railroad track between Red Bluff and
Cottonwood. Upon reaching Hooker Creek,
where the road makes a bend, he discov-
cred that the road had been washed out
The north-bound passenger train was due
in an hour. Many tramp would have re-
membered the kicks and blows received
from railroad men while endeavoring to
steal a ride, and left the train. loaded with
human freight, to rush to destruction. But
this one did not. On the contrary. he sat
by the track in the furious storm and
awaited the coming of the train to warn
the engineer that there was danger ahead.
Upon the approach of the train he jerked
his coat from around him and waved it in
the air. The signal was noticed, brakes
were whistled down, and the train was
stopped upon the verge of destruction.

SALE OF THE PINcATE Coal MIYE.-The
coal mine at Pincate has just been sold to
Eastern parties for $4,000. A seven foot
vein was recently discovered, and on a test
being made by experts, the coal was found
to be entirely suitable for smelling pur-
poses. On the strength of this test the sale
was made. 1t is supposed that the Atchi-
son Railroad is the real purchaser. This is
news of considerable importance, and its
accuracy may be relied upon. 1t adds an
other and a very important one to the list
of our county's valuable resources. This
mine is near the line of the California

more marble to San Francisco, as quite as
good an article can be had from Inyo
county at much less cost. The marble
already taken out at Swansea was found
close to the surface, and some of it had a
little weather stain, more of it had a slight
vapor stain. This defect is certainly only
local and accidental, and will entirely dis
appear when greater depth is gained. Al
ready there are many orders for marble,
but none will be shipped till the quarry is
opened more extensively, and till every
trace of stain has disappeared, and pure
white marble can be shipped. Mr.. Luce is
very confident that few weeks work will
accomplish this result. He is also certain
that the market for the marble will be so
extensive that in very few years town
of at least five hundred inhabitants will
grow up at the quarry. The supply is so
extensive as to insure plenty of marble for
hundreds of years to come.

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings of Cincinnati, Ohio
writes: Early last winter my daughter was
attacked with severe cold, which settled on
her lungs. We tried several medicines, none of
which seemed to do her any good, but she con-
tinued to get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We called in
family physician but he failed to do her any
good At this time friend who had been cured
by DR.. WIN. HALLS BALSAM FOR THE

got bottle, and she began to improve, and by
the use OF three bottles was entirely cured

Only Big Enough for Mice,

The whole town is laughing at au- other saying of prominent society lady. This lady occupies one of the most spacious mansions at tho capital. Her husband is a man of unlimited wealth, and he fondly gratifies her every social ambition. Not lcng ago this lady was holding one of her regular afternoon receptions, when one of the company casually remarked that she had tried about every thing, but her residence con- tinued to be overrun with rats. The hostess replied that that was unfortu- nate, but she said her house was so small that she was only troubled with mice. General Sheridan knows the name of this lady. for at one of her din- ncr parties she screamed across the table and informed him that he was not eating his oysters after the most ap- proved fashion.

The Earth.WOrm'S Work.

It is only recently that science has come to understand fully the service which the earthcn-worm-the humble creature which some American boys call the "angle-worm, and others the "mudworm''-performs in the economy of the world.
 It is known that, burrowing steadily in the earth, he docs valuable work for agriculture. The little holes which he makes let in the air and light to damp places, and conduct to the roots of the plants the leaf-mould and surface &C., cumulations of all sorts which these plants need for their nourishment. But more than this, the worms bring to the surface the finely powdered earth which they consume in their borrowings, and scatter it over the soil.
 Two earth-worms put in a glass vase eighteen inches in diameter, filled with sand covered with dry leaves, managed first to sink the leaves entirely beneath the sand, and then to cover the sand with thin coating of humus, or mould. All this was accomplished in six months.
 One earth-worm will bring to the surface about seven grain avoirdupois of earth in a day. This is very small quantity of earth, but if we multiply it by ifty-six thousand, tho average number of worms to an acre, we have more than fifty pounds of earth raised every day.
 From the 9th of October 1870, to the 14th of October 1876, the worms upon one field in England brought up eight tons of earth, and in another field six teen tons. A field in Staffordshire is covered annually by the worms with a deposit of earth nearly quarter of an inch in thickness.
 By the slow toll of the earth worms, rocks arc buried in the ground and the surface of the earth is modified. It is chiefly their work which has buried the ruins of dead cities under the ground. = ToutHs Companion.

The Maine Tavern Keeper.

A characteristic of the Maine country tavern keepe is his talent for making a little sleep go long way. No matter how late you arrive, he comes to the door with his lantern to greet you and ask you if you have had any supper. If you wish to leave at or 5 o'clock in the morning, it is the landlord who raps at your door. In many Maine towns the stages arrive at irregular and unseason- able hours. Irecently was guest at Maine hotel at which the only stage (and that the only connection with the outside world) arrived at il p. m. and which it left at a. m. The landlords whole force consisted of himself, his wife and his daughter, and the family seemed to be able to live without sleep. l remember paying another Maine land- lord seventy five cents for supper and lodging, and then asking him to call me at a. m. to take the stage. "All right, I've got to sit up till 12 o'clock for a team, and l guess l won't go to bed at all tonight, so as to be sure to call you." If that was not accommoda- ton. what was it?

Accomplished Apes.

According to Treasurer Morgan of the Salmagundi Club, the missing link has been discovered in the Philadelphia Zoo. It is monkey that can reason, talk and sing. To be sure, her store of language is not very copious or fluent in its ex- pression, but Mr. Morgan ayers that it possesses certain articulate and familiar sounds. She displays her comprehension of facts by all manner of feats similar to those that have endeared Master Crow ley to the habitues of Central Park, but she far discounts that simian star, says her panegyrist, in the fertility of her resources and the lingual proficiency that has made her famous. 1 wonder if this gifted troglodyte is not akin to the elo- quent ape I once visited in fancier's shop in Cherry street This tradesman was in the habit of buying birds and beasts from the the ships along the docks, and this establishment was a great SUD- ply-place for the organ grinding frater- nifty. Some East India skipper sold him bowling monkey of the female sex, which melodious beast soon acquired a local reputation as a songstress. Her fame came to me as the Jenny Lind of her race, so went to see her and she howled me nearly deaf at the command of her master. Then she took drink of ale, swallowed half paper of fne- cut tobacco and went to sleep on s gunny sack.-.Ne,o York N6ps.
