Gave $1,000 to the Bible society

The man is still living who, seventeen
years ago. walked into the rooms of the
Bible society in Boston and electrified the
persons whom he found there, first by
his appearance, and, secondly, by the
communication which he had to make.
His appearance betokened more than
poverty. for his shabby clothes were tied
together with strings. What in the
world had brought such a man there was
the question every, one asked himself,
and the wonder ri be better imagined
Than described when the stranger re-
marked that he had property TO the
amount of S75, 900 which he would like
TO turn over TO the society, if he could be
guaranteed 10 per cent. annually upon it
for the remainder of his life, his age then
being 70.
The officers suppressed their amaze
ment as well as they could, took his name,
verified his schedule Of his possessions
and submitted the case TO the directors.
They looked the matser over in the light
Of %actuaries' tables, ETC.,, and finally, after
much d~eliberation, decided that the risk
was too great and 80 notified the would
be donor. Not long after he came back
and renewed his proposition 10 turn the
money over to the society and said that
he would be content with Z per cent. IN
nually. That proposition was accepted,
and for some years he appeared regularly
at the expiration of the year and drew
his interest, taking 5000 in cash and the
company's note Cor the balance. After
doing this for seven years or SO he turned
those notes back % the company, saying
that he had no Use for them. He is now,
at the age Of 90, blind, deaf and crippled
by a fall so that he capnot walk, and the
Bible society pays the bills for his sup
port. Springfield Union.

heart r~alpitatIon Not dangerous.

''P~alpitation of the heart in the great
majority of cases, " DIR. Sawyer says, sis
not q symptom Of heart disease, as that
term is used by medical men; it is not,
in itself, dangerout to life, and never re-
suits in or causes sudden death. l have
met men and women suffering from this
symptom who firmly believed themselves
10 be the victims of heart disease, and
over whose heads the fear of sudden death
had hung for months or years. They
had obtained this idea from the repre-
sensations of some patent medicine adj
vertisement or from the statement Of
some ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS physician.
1t is a sad fact that there are men who,
in order to extort a petty sum, will sub
iect a fellow human being TO a mental
misery, which may endure rs long as life
itself. There is no more terrible news
TO hear, and no heavier burden for the
sick TO bear, than the conviction that
they have incurable disease Of the heart.
P~alpitation Of the heart is cured by grad
ually building up the nervous system,
and BY the use Of medicines having a
direct tonic influence upon the heart, Of
which medical science has several of
great value" Cincinnati Commercial

The Hodia and His Properlx.

An Oriental fable which illustrates the
western pruverb, Give him an inch and
he will take IN ell" is narrated in the
Diversions" of our late minister TO
Turkey, 5. S. Cox.
The hodja having built a house, offered
it for sale. A purchaser appears, the
house is sold, but the hodja asks as a
favor that he be allowed to drive a nail
in the wall Of N Of the rooms-the nail
to be his Owl property. The favor is
granted.
Shortly after the buyer has settled him"
self ia the house he hears a knock at mid
night. Descending t. the outer door, he
asks, ''Nho is tlereGn
ut is l." says the hodja. Il wish to
tie a string on my nail" He is allowed
TO enter.
Three days after another knock is heard
at midnight. ''Wlmt is wantingln asks
the man of the house.
IL pray you, good friend, let me
enter" answers the hodja. IL wish to
unite that string from my property"
Again and again this performance is
repeated, until the purchaser, tired Of
dancing attendance on the owner of the
nail, sells the house for a song-and the
hodJn buys it.-Youth's Companion.

A Unique Massachusetts, Kitchen.

Mrs. ii. II. Robinson, who has always
been identified with the Massachusetts,
woman suffrage movement, has a very
unique kitchen. IL is built Of sheathed
hard pine, with rafters overhead and a
big closet at one end, the top Of which
forms a shelf several feet from the roof.
On this shelf are grouped earthen vessels
and stone pitchers, with two stone idols,
which she calls her Lares and Penates.
The cooking utensils are hung ON these
kitchen walls in designs as artistic as the
works Of art in a lady's boudoir. Each
article has n place in the most convenient
nook, and the whole room is a model Of
labor saving inventions and neat, orderly
housekeeping, while here and there crops
out a poetical fancy or old New England
legend.
In some convenient place is q pile Of
note paper and a pencil, on which TO jot
thoughts that cone while washing dishes
or overseeing the baking. Although on
q cunt Of the systematic arrangements
Of the household this modern priestess
needs to spend but little time in her
kitchen, when she does offer up herself
as a sacrifice there the result is such as
the gods would appreciate were they to
banquet az her dining table.-,'cw York

A Peculiar Tribe of Indians.

The Se,is Indians, who, it is reported,
have recently crossed from the Tiburen
Islands in the Gulf of California 20 The
mainland and are raiding the ranches,
number about 300 in all, and are one OF
the tallest races on the continent, nearly
all measuring G feet 4 inches. II i
claimed by some that they are cannibais.
However, they are the only Indians in
Noa America using poisoned arrows,
and they refer raw decomposed meat to
meat thns MS been cooked, and in fact
live emit Y upon raw food. In stature,
looks, | suage and manner they are
different from any other Indians in the
Americas.
A few years ago a Turk visited their
island, and he claimed that they spoke
his tongue. In appearance they resemble
the Malayans, but few civilized people
have ever had the courage 10 visit The
island they inhabit, and those who have
and got away alive are regarded as being
decidedly fortunate.-Hom Journal.

Diphtheria Carried bv Turk.v..

DR.. Paulinis reports a most interesting
epidemic of diphtheria which occurred
in Skiatos, one Of the Grecian isles, in
the year 1884. The population Of this
island &c the time was about four thou
sand. DIR. Bid, an old practitioner, is
the authority for the statement that for
thirty years no case Of diphtheria had
been known on the island. In June a
child aged l2 years was attacked with
diphthcrin and died. Seven other cases
occurred In the. immediate neighborhood;
five of these died. The disease extended,
until. within a period of five months, 100
persons were attacked, Of which number
80 died. Three weeks before the sick
ness Of the first child, q flock Of turkeys
arrived from Salonica. Two Of these
were sick on arrival, and each of the
others were subsequently, attacked.
DIR. Paulinis found in the threats Of
the sick ones patches Of false membrane.
The glands Of the neck were swollen, and
in one bird the disease had extended 10
the larynx, making II hoarse. One Of the
turkeys, after recovery, had paralysis OF
the legs, and was unable TO walk. Al.
though there had been no immediate
contact between the sick birds and the
first child attacked, still the distance be
tween them was slight, and a wind had
been for som time blowing in a direc-
ton favorable to the transportation Of the
disease. DIR. Paulinis believed that the
disease was contracted from the turkeys,
its germs Icing carried by the currents Of
air.-Bulletin Medical.

The Charm Of Americans.

As have frequently had occasion to
