Will 1883 be a Year of War?

The present year is the fifth year Of
modern times III which the aggregate of
the figures is %, and there will be but
five more years in which such a combina-
ton is possible prior to the year 1893.
Probably but few have ever heard of the
old prophecy, which runs as follows;
In every future year of our Lord,
When the sum of the figures is twenty-five,
Some warlike Kingdom will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace VIII thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden,
which inaugurated the great war that
ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles
XII at Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable
on account of the breaking out of the
French revolution.
Seventeen hundred and ninety-eight
witnessed the campaign of Bonaparte in
Egypt and the formation of the second
European coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
of the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is to be
verified in 1888 remains yet to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems 10
promise an abundant fullfillment of thu
prophecy -Philadelphia Inquirer.

make some money from the sale OF
postage stamps and always have them on
hand. A great many people, guests at
hotels particularly, write and mail letters
late at night, when they can buy stamps
at none of the ordinary places where they
are kept. keep the stamps in large
jar, conspicuously placed on my stand,
and a man who passes my place and
looks at it is obliged to see them.
When they are once relieved of an incon-
venience by obtaining stamps from me,
they never forget me and often come back
to me. Very often man pays me five
cents for one stamp, and nearly always, if
he wants two, I make the odd cent, but
never charge them more than the stamps
cost me. | have sold three stamps to a

Senator Fairs Rescue from n Shark.

1t happened upon my last visit to the
Sandwich Islands. / am very expert
swimmer, and nothing pleases me better
than to plunge into the salt water. The
temperature of the island is delightful,
and | could not resist the temptation to
take a swim.
After l had been in the water for half
an hour l pushed out over and beyond
one Of the reefs which surround the
islands All at once l realized that some
thing was going on on the shore. There
was quite number of natives there, and
they appeared to be greatly excited. Sud
denly two native girls swan out behind
me with long knives between their teeth.
looked behind, and to my horror saw q
shark making for me with terrific speed.
An instant later the girls had dived, and
the shark had nearly stopped. The water
around him was red with blood. The
girls came to the surface again, and again
they dived and plunged their long knives
into the monster At last he lay still on
top of the water, quite dead. The natives
dragged him ashore and found that he
was one of the largest of his species.
But for the wonderful bravery of these
girls l should not be here tonight to tell
you this story-San Francisco Call.

CODES of HEALTH"

In code of health, just published, is
this rule: ''Never begin a journey until
the breakfast has been eaten This is q
suggestion to the suburban citizen to see
that kindling for the cook stove has been
prepared the night before, and that the
alarm clock in the kitchen girls bedroom
is in good order Another rule is: ''Never
take warm drinks and Immediately go out
into the cold Therefore the coffee
should be taken cold; otherwise, sit
around the house after breakfast until
after train time. Still another rule is:
after exercise of any kind, never sit
near the window of a car for a moment"
There might be some difference whether
the window is opened or closed, but the
rule is imperative. and says violation is
dangerous TO health, or even life. !"
Therefore, let your fat neishbor take the

Cenfu. and Common Sense.

It is, perhaps, as natural for some peo-
pie to forget common claims and duties as
IL is for Others TO become absorbed IN
them. One man dwells IN thought and
shrinks from action, another Is always
acting without thinking, but, as Ruskin
well tells US ''it is only by labor that tina,
thought can De made healthy, and only by
thought that labor can be made happy,
and the two cannot be separated with i'm
punity." One Is welded 70 theories and
desp;ses practice; another, with executive
power, scoTns eli theory as vaporous and
impractical One man, sngrossed with
scientific research. neglects 70 control his
money matters, and involves himself and
others in trouble: another, vig1iant and
economical. cares not a straw for the most

TIE DANRURY NEWS NAY.

j. NJ. Bailey, known as The Danbury
Conn News man, is another example nj a
humorist who has more than his share Of
trials. He is a large, handsome man, with
black eyes and dark hair, now plentifuly
sprinkled with gray. He lives very quietly
in Danbury, Conn, and is either always at
bis little Office on Main street, CT at his mod
ern residence, with its pretty green lawns
and bed Of flowers. He never spends an
evening away from home, and has not been
outside OK Danbury for years. His poor wife
has lost her reason and demands all of his at
tention. She thinks nobody in the world can
do anything for her except her husband He
must dress her and arrange her hair, and at
tend TO ali heF wants. She is like a child, and
he gives her ali Of bis affection, time and AT
tention. His devotion Is something heroic
and beautiful Upon one occasion, so the
people of Danbury say, she went 10 his Office
and asked HIM to do up her hair Il had
fallen down. He arranged 1T for her in the
pleasantest manner possible, did ell she
asked without the least annoyance, ard then
took her home. Such are the facts concern
ing some OF our we'll known huH1o.ists
Many more about others might be given, tut

when from the dewy pastures OF the night,
Like early waking focks the stars arise,
And vanish, one by one, 10 bright ming skies,
AS forth they pasture toward the rosy light,
Oh, then love to walk, and think Of thee.
Sweet Margeryi
Had the liquid tongues of soaring larks,
Or cen thrush's soft and sober flute,
I'd join the birds that Phobus bright salute,
And hymn my love, who at her lattice harks
She is the sun that brightest shines, TO me
My Margery!
Oh, when shall timd tongue Of mine make bold
To plead the love that sweetens every thougntl
So sure am she doth disdain me not,
IT'S passing strange my passion ne'er was told.
Yet am dumb when the rare face see
OF Margery.
This day, if courage fail pot will go,
And at her feet my hearts ibation pour,
Then with fast kisses stop the rosy door,
Until she doth despair to say me no.
Then shall she blush, consent and ever be
