Facts About Life.Preseryers.

els it not strange that with so many
new inventions constantly being made,
the old-fashioned cork life-preserver
still remains in vogue?" said captain
of steamer to New York reporter.
"Are they not good enough, captain 2"
ooh, yes. 1 believe they answer bet
ter than anything yet invented for
using quickly in case of accident. AL
though it is simple enough to strap a
life-preserver on, yet many people are
drowned by putting them on in loose
way and getting their feet turned in
the air instead of their heads. Then,
too, in a general panic the preservers
are often tied or buckled carelessly, and
a few waves soon knock them off. The
india-rubber suits cannot be put on SO
quickly. That is one drawback to them.
What good would rubber suit do a
man in mid-ocean unless he has nerve
and pluck like Boyton and those pro-
fessional swimmers? Think of lady
incased in rubber armor tossing about
in mid-ocean. She would soon die from
fright. Sailors and seaman would be
at home, perhaps. in rubber life-pre-
servers, and could paddle about and
keep up their spirits. But in the hurry
Of leaving a ship after collision, for
instance, who would have time to put
on and initiate the rubber life-pre-
servers? The moment an accident oc-
ours confusion and panic generally fol-
low, especially among the passengers.
AS rule the departure from the ship
is rush, and the devil take the hind
most. Hence life-preserver must be
easily put on and have no complications
whatever. They would be perfectly
useless otherwise. I have thought Of
all kinds Of new-fangled ife-preserv-
ers, but none are worthy of adoption,
or rather they are impracticable. My
idea once was to have a good-sized half
barrel, with straps SO placed that per-
son could easily buckle himself to it in
the water. Then on the inside of the
barrel would be little fresh water and
something to eat. By taking out a plug
or slide the food could be reached. 1
have found nearly everything imprac-
ticable. Presence of mind in the face
of danger is the greatest life-preserver
a person can possess. Without this
GOODNESS the best preserver is of little
avail !"

What We Eat.

An article recently published in the
american Chemist in regard to the
adulteration of food is calculated to
make hungry tramp pause before &C.
cepting an invitation to banquet.
The high priced champagne that
causes flow OF wit and bad taste in
the mouth next morning, is not what it is
claims to be. 1t is the combination of
cheap Jersey cider and carbonic acid
that gives the gentlemen in full even
ing costume chronic dyspepsia and
makes him hope the cruel war will soon
be over.
AS general thing, German mustard
is so badly decomposed that the coroner
should be notified. It is, moreover,
made of the cheapest materials.
In regard to genuine pepper, it may
be recognized by the buyer not finding
it for sale in any of the stores. Pulver-
lied cocoanut shell combined with fla
voring extracts is what masquerades
as genuine pepper.
French brandy is so-called because it
is neither French nor brandy. It con-
sists principally of poor whisky favored
with poison, that would eat hole
through plate of sheet iron. 1t has as
much kick in it as mule, and "the
mouth and elbow wrestlers," as inebri-
ates are now called, who indulge in it
find themselves in as dangerous a posi-
ton as the man who is trying to learn
to ride bicycle.
The smoker who pays fifteen cents
for cigar imagines no doubt that he is
eratt,n,r tohoooo This 30 ,,,oct11, n IL
fusion. AS for cigarettes most of them
could be used for poisoning rats. The
chewer of tobacco has no idea of what
an "inchewrious" habit it really is

That Other Fellow.

That other fellow is in every contest,
whether it be dog-fght, politics, busi-
ness, or love.
Did you ever see dog-fght where
all were agreed as to which dog should
whip?
Were you ever at trial of lawsuit
that there was not "that other fellow"
bellingerent as hornet?
Are you running a peanut-stand, "that
other fellow" is opposing and getting
trade that you ought to and would have
but for him.
You go into political convention,
chat other fellow" is around and gets
what belongs by right to you.
Finally you get after the girl created
for you. Heavens fiat is in favor of
your having her-indeed, she was in
tended from birth for you by the Great
Omnipotent. You knew her at sight.
She was the marrow of your life from
the day you saw her. She rounded out
your existence, and she made you feel
like unit and only she. All this you
felt by prescience.
You naturally ego" for that girl.
You waste time upon her. You study
her likes and dislikes; you humor her
to peanuts, ice-cream, boating, dances,
theater, and repeated, and each again
repeated. The more you see her the
more you are sure heaven intended her
for you and you for her. You are con-
vinced, you are assured, you know. It
has passed beyond belief with you; you
feel it in your soul. After all this, you
awake to the fact that she has another
fellow" "That other fellow" is after
her too, and she favors both. She eats
the ice-cream of both. She chooses
which? You are on nettles-you are
on the anxious seat-you are in hades,
all because of that other fellow.
"That other fellow" has been at the
bottom of more trouble, been the cause
OF more jealousy, more disputes, more
anger, more hate more of the real inner
cussedness of human life than any other
cause that can be named or mentioned.
If there is creature to be hated, to
be justly malgned, animadverted,
mathematical, traduced, derided, con-
temned, abused, and spoken against at
all times and upon all occasions, he is
"that other fellow" And yet the earth
is not complete without that other fell
low. The Bible would be an unsup-
ported, meaningless syllogism with him
thrown out or wanting Millions Para
disc Lost" lose its rhapsody, and life
itself sink into vapid, spiritless game,
but for "that other fellow"
It is that other fellow that gives spirit
to the business of our cities, to the con-
tests of our courts, to the political
battles of our commonwealth, and even
to the conquests of love itself.
Life wonld hardly be worth living
but for the gamey spirit of uncertainty
and two-sidedness infused into it by
that other fellow"
Here's to "that other fellow" May
he always make warm game, but never
win! But he SON. etimes does.--Chicago

FOR THE WEEK ENDINGJUNEe
Business generally has been very good the past
week, with values in some cases unsettled, with
ont radical change in figures. The Flour market
is duh and unsettled and millers concede 10 to
l5c barrel from the extreme high prices of a
week ago The reports from the Spring Wheat
States are very encouraging, and adylces Inre-
gard to the Winter Wheat crops nave not been as
unfavoraDle as formerly. Corn is a trihe easter.
while Oats are firm and higher. Car lots Of Cot
ton Seed higher. Provisions have been hrmer,
but not quotably higher Sugar continues steady
and unchanged. Dry Fish steady. Mackerel--
nothing on the market except very few Is
Fresh Fish in good supply. Coffee firmer and
about lc better. Molasses is steady and firmly
held. Teas and Spices have been quiet and steady.
Cheese weak and lower. Butter a little firmer on
fine grades. Eggs scarce and higher at about III.
