Don't Ger Caught

This spring with your blood full of i'm
purities, your digestion impaired. your
appetite poor, kidneys and liver torpid,
whole system liable to be Frustrated by
disease-but get yourself into good condi-
ton, and ready for the changing and
warmer weather, by taking Hoods Sar-
slparilla. Il stands unequalled for puri-
flying the blood, giving an appetite, and
or a general spring medicine. .

SLEEP.

Come, sleep, oh sleep, the certain Knot of peace,
The batting place of wit, the balm of woe,
The poor mans wealth, the prisoners release,
The Indifferent judge between the high and low.
Take thou Of me smooth pillows, sweetest bed;
A chamber deaf TO noise and blind to light;
A rosy garland, and q weary head.

Becoming Too Valuable.

Land in many parts of California is be-
coming too valuable for wheat growing,
and large tracts are passing into orchards
and vineyards. 1t is expected that before

more proitably used.-Chicago Herald.

1.-THE WIS.,

Wednesday. 22nd August, 1888.

The thunder storm of the night of Sun
day the 10Th inst. appears to have been
rather wide spread as well as violent. In
St. Thomas it appears to have been as yiO-
lent as here, though no damage is recorded
beyond the SCATTERING of a flagstaff at
MesSrs. McDougal & Cos store. In West
End, two telegraph posts and a tree Oh
DIR. Raphael's premises were destroyed.
No part of the storm seems to have passed
Immediately over BaSSin and no damage
occurred here, but a short distance south
Of the town, as our readers know from Mr..
DodsWorth's letter, a small house was
badly injured. The cause in this case
appears to have been, that the house
stands on a rising ground and was rooted
with galvanized iron. The inmates evil
IDENTIFY attributed part of the damage to
squalls of wind but we cannot help
thinking that they were mistaken in this,
and that the whole must be put down to
the lightning. The ripping of the shingles
is a very common effect Of lightning, and
arises dOubtleSsly from q succession of
expansions of the air beneath the shingles
as the electric current passes from nail to
nail. The piece of a window shutter,
studded with nails, being blown into the
house is most likely to be explained in the
same way, and the throwing down of
pictures &C., must be attributed to the re.
coil of the force outside. The stroke at
about 3 o'clock was so powerful, that the
current sought also objects inside the
house in order to make it's way to the
earth, hence the dazzling light and the
, 1888-08-22

supposed "smell of sulphur" in reality the
smell of the ozone produced by the current,
a smell quite familiar to any person who
has ever used an electric machine. 1t is
a matter of cOngratulation that no one was
injured in the house. The building could
probably be effectively protected against
such dangers in future by two strips of
galvanized iron on opposite sides OF the
house, one end of each in contact with the
roof the other buried in the ground.
We suggest ta0O strips on opposite sides
because a single strip might, in a given
storm, happen to be OH the dry side of the
house, and would then have comparatively
little value rs a conductor.

Fishing Yarns at Breakfast.

Nearly all the hoarder> had struggled in to
breakfast before . O'clock, in spite of the
darkness Of the morning. Old Mr.. RottIc, the
Bank Clerk and Professor Ntldge and The
Two Maiden Ladies were on hand.
"Frightfuy dark morning." remarked the
Bank Clerk. as he arose and lighted the gas in
the pause that occurred between his oatmeal
and the balance of his breakfast.
There was a moments silence. Old Mr..
Rottlc for once. was busy. He had accident
ally switched his newspaper into neighboring
buter-diSh. and was trying to reduce the
transparent spots.
"A gloomy morning, indeed, Mr.. Wigstraw,'
said Professor Nudge, picking up the eonver-
sation and a roll. "Such day as makes me
| wish We're in Florida again. Five years ago
just abou, this time | was down there camping
with some Young people, and We had glor-
ious time. reeollect on one occasion | was
becalmed all night in a small sailboat. | laid
down in the bottom OF the boat, and spreading
the awning and sail above, lighted the lantern
| and began to read. Very soon | could hear a
thump. thump on the awning, and found
was catching my breakfast The fish, attract
ell by the light, jumped into the boat in large
numbers, and in the morning l had caught
| nineteen pounds.
| Old Mr.. Rottle listened with more surprise
and evident disapproval to this story, but said
| nothing.
! ''That reminds me of an astonishing expert,
ence l had when l was in Florida said the
Bank Clerk with much animation. Il was
down below st. Augustine on fishing trip
| They fish down there with dough for bait
had some difficulty in getting the dough- but
finally laid in four pounds. The fish about
| that region are very numerous and fierce, rs
| you will recollect, Professor. So | tied the
end of my line to large tree up on the bank
and going down to the shore plastered up the
hook with dough- threw her in. and rushet
back up the bank to the line. Well, sir, the
sight was astonishing. You remember how
clear the water is down there: well, l wisl
you could have seen the fish sail for tina
| dough. There was just long streak of silver
| calculated that there were twenty-niEe bas
and forty-seven catfish in that procession, an,
like it. There was regular shark panoram;
flying by that mud-bank."
'And what did you have when you haulet
in:" asked the Professor with much interest.
"That's just it," answered the Bank Clerk
sadly. as he buttered the crust of roll, :"
didn't catch anything. You see the BLASTED
dough had yeast in it, and it rose. COuldn'
keep it down. Kept rising right out of tn
water. So didn't get bite, except darnin:
needle and two mosquitoes"
And then there fell profound silenc
around the table, until Old Man Rottle lai,
down his paper and said to the landlady, g
think, Mrs COdhooker, that a fish dinner viii
be both satisfactory and appropriate. N.

Fisherman's Rights.

Meeting, Jan. B.
Whereas, l, The rights of American fisher
men have been denied, and the lawful proscc,l-
ton of their industry hinderel for years past
by the authorities of the Dominion OF Canada ;
and
Whereas, ?, The proposals stated to have
been made by the British and Canadian gov
ernments for the settlement of the fisheries ques-
ton imperil the very existence of our fisheries
therefore
Resolved, 1, That the hardy fishermen Of our
Eastern States, who have served the country
in laborious industry in peace and defended
it in war, are entitled to the sympathy of every
patriotic American in their struggle for their
rights.
Resolved, =. That as long as Canada and New
foundland deny to our fishermen in their ports
any of the ordinary privileges belonging by in
ternational law or usage to the vesseisof friend
ly nations the United States should refuse all
such privileges in American ports to the vessels
of those two colonies.
Resolved, 3, That we call upon the National
Executive to apply to the settlement Of the fish
cries question the peaceful exercise of powers
vested in it by the Forty-nnth Congress for
this purpose.
Resolved, 4, That we protest against any re-
establishment of one-sided reciprocity with
Canada, such as existed in the years 1s54-1S61
and against any proposal to admit Canadian
fish or other products free of duty to the mar
kets of this country; and whereas Canada now
imposes upon salt fish caught by our fishermen
an import duty of two cents per pound, and up
on fresh fish three-fourths of cent per pound
while our import duty on salt fish caught by
Canadian fishermen is at the inadequate rate OF
one cent per pound, and their fresh fish enters
our ports free of duty.
Resolved, 5, That the duty on Canadian salt
fish be raised as promptly as possible to at least
two cents per pound, and duty of at least
three-fourths Of cent pound should be levied
upon their fresh fish.
Resolved, 6, That copies of these resolutions
be forwarded to his eNcellency, the Presiden,
of the United States, to the Hon. Secretary OF
State, to the presiding officers of the two
Houses of Congress, to the Governors of eacl
of the United States. and to the Senators ant
Representatives from Pennsylvania.

She cinbroiier, ~ appliqueS the Noah's ark
which i near the centre Of the quilt but
placed high up. The animals are al in couples.
aml form long procession around the entire
quilt. marching toward the ark. Sometimes
the procession i curved 50 as to form desg II
over the entire surface, but this depends on
in ilvi,inal taste or fancy. One can ask her
friends aAd neigbbors to work the pairs of
animals, usually giving them some choice in
the matter. Some of these quilts are very
amusing and really worth keeping. At re-
cent starting of one a lady volunteered to
work two ileaS, which she actually did with
wonderful care and deXterty. In cream sheet
my ti'e ANIMALS NAV be all in red turkey quill,
worked with red ingrained thread or in var
lous colors. This may be an idea of MANY
busy fingers. The baby crawling blanket or cot
coverlids probably gave the idea of the Noah's
ARK quit. and also suggested the same style of
perambulator cover. The animals are general
y cut in paper first and then in whatever ma
ter'ai they are to be worked. and are copied
from child's colored picture book. Scraps of
fur and SKIN are used to represent the speci-
men as true t. nature as possible. 1t is occa-
sionaily worked on a foundation of double
width diagonal serge, with the various animals
portrayed in wool, sometimes in cross stitch
first worked on pieces of ordinary canvas, af-
terward drawn away or in outline stitch. in
crewels or in another stitch, which is now be-
ing used good deal for travelling rugs, bath
blankets, &C., which is done by laying wool in
strands on the outline pattern and tack in0 II
down by small stitches of silk, or contrast
ing color. In two shades of color this works
well, and the edges are usually widely button
hoed in both shades.

Prohibition in Iowa.

DEs MONIES. Iowa, Jan. 10. Governor Lar
rabee delivered his biennial message to the Leg
islature this afternoon. Referring to the phar-
macy law, lie says amendments are needed,
particularly i'll reference to Intoxicating liquors,
and asks for the subject earnest consideration.
The provisions should be more stringent and
the methods of dealing with delnquents more
direct and certain. The Governor says that the
enforcement Of the prohibtory law has been
efficient in reducing crime that he recom-
mends a consolidation of judicial districts so as
to reduce the number ofjudses from forty-four
to forty. He also says
l recommend that a Joint committee of the
General Assembly be appointed early in the
session to inquire into the reasons for the nom
enforcement of this law in certain commune
ties; and whether the officers there are neglect
full of their duties l think some measures
should be adopted to quicken the con>cicnce> of
the officials who neglect or refuse to perform
their sworn duty; or else provide a way for
their suspension or removal. 1t only remain, for
the friends of good government and law and
order in Iowa to press patiently, yet resolutcy,
forward with this great reform, until the sa-
loon and all illegal manufacture and sale of in
toXicatng liquors are utterly destroyed
