Worry Is the cause OF moro trouble
than any other one thing. not excepting
alcohol. for 1t leads men to murder.
suicide. embczzlemcnt. insanity. family
estrangements. quarrels and bus iness
difficulties. Worried people cannot
mako good bargains Their judge
mcnts become so worped or twisted
through dwelling too long on the same
subject; with those subjects they arc
no clearer mt the end OF their thinking
than they were at the beginning. There
are multitudes Of deaths every year at
tributed to regular specific diseases. as
typhoid fever. dyspepsia, consumption
and heart disease. which have for thcir
cause worry. Worry induces such
condition of the body that II readily re-
ccives the germs of disease.
To one who was accustomed to wor-
nv, friend said, who avoided worry as
much rs possible: what would yon
do II you stopped to consider the posi-.
bilties of every act. knew of wom-
an who walked carefully across a car
peted floor; she fell. broke her hip
joint and died in few days. knew
OF ncighbor who ate his dinner. and
fell dead as he rose from the table. An
other went to sleep well and never
woke; another rode out and was killed"
Thus instance after instance might be
mentioned. for every daily act. If we
had travelled or read much. or met
many persons.
Occasionally we meet people who can
truly be called born fretters; they fret
at everything. and seven days and seven
nights scarcely give them time enough
during the week to do all the worrying
they are capable of doing; as for any
one living with them 1t is their worst
punishment that they have to endure
themselves.
We daily meet faces that show the
results of worry; they are scanned. and
wrinkled full of lines. They should be
warning to us. IL tho time and
strength spent in worry could be used
and beneiiting those
near US there would DO many changes
in every community. - Good HouSekecp-
ing.

the nap Of the cloth Is not worn of en-
tirely, ammonia water Is excellent;
but II the whole coat needs a thorough
ly good cleansing use strong black
coffee, TO which has been added few
drops OF ammonia, and sponge with q
piece OF black wooden cloth.
To make black cashmere look al
most as good as new when soiled and
faded, wash FIRST In good soapsuds,
rinse in clear water, thea put in water
TO which has been added great deal
OF blueing. Have the water very blue,
so much so that IL will have the APP
pearance of being black. Let the
goods lie in this for some time, IL very
much faded letting them lie over
night; take from the water without
wringing, and hang in shady place
to dry. Press when slightly damp.
III dress is TO be treated in this way,
and there is much trimming on 1t, 1t is
the better way TO rip the trimmings
from the dress and wash them separ-
ately, but If it is made up plain or
with only little trimming. it can be
washed without taking apart, and IL
pressed carefully will look as nice as
though washed separately In max
ing dress over, TO be sure it ought TO
be ripped apart so there will be no
varying in shade Of the pieces when
making them up. Dark blue cash
mere can be made to look beautiful If
washed and pressed in this way.

Fault Finding.

One of the easiest things in the world
to do is TO find fault, and in no place
Are there as many opportunities for in
dulging in this kind of work as in the
home. There are so many little things
occurring among its inmates where
there is family of any size, such
as the misplacing Of garment,
leaving door ajar, uttering a thought
less word, in fact, a great many trivial
things that to people inclined to find
fault will give plenty of cause. 1t is a
disagreeable thing TO find fault any
way, TO most people, yet there are some
who seem to like TO do it simply for
the sake Of finding fault. These peo-
pie do not mean TO be chronic fault
finders, and il never occurs TO them
that they are. They would not for the
world be thought disagreeable, and but
for this one trait, would be generally
very pleasant companions. They did
not acquire this habit at once; any of
their friends will tell you that there
was time when they were not so; but
they began by noticing every little
failing or supposed failing among
their acquaintance, and the habit
grew with them until 1t appeared
part of their nature TO notice and con-
denim every little fault supposed or
real. They are very far from being
perfect themselves; in fact they think
so much about other peoples imper-
fections that they have very little time
TO attend to their own. They would
be grieved and hurt should their
friends retaliate by noticing every lit
tie eccentricity OF theirs, and, perhaps,
had their friends the courage to do so,
1t might open their eyes to the I'M
pleasantness Of fault finding. II GER
tainiy would be disagreeable duty, IL
duty 1t might be called, and few people
would care TO do ii, unless of the same
stamp as the fault finders, In which
case IL would do very little good.

NnturnIixing German song. birds.

A Portland (Oregon) correspondent
writes: ~ number Of German citizens
here have subscribed fund Of $1,000
TO purchase singing birds in Germany
to be turned loose in this city and vi
entity. Arrangements have been made
with a party in Germany TO furnish
nightingales, skylarks, bull1nches,
chaIlinches, goldnnches. thrushes, lin
nets, starlings, and other birds TO the
number OF 700. They will arrive here
next spring. in time TO nest and rear
their young. and It is considered GER
tain that they will then return here
from their winter migration TO the
south. An act for the protection of
these birds will be passed by the next
legislature. Some of the subscribers
TO the fund wished to import few
storks, but this was found 10 be i'm
practicable, as these birds are scarce
and cost $50 or more per pair, and
would be difficult to tranpsort and
probably hard TO protect and acclimat-
ize."-San Francisco Chronicle.

The March Century will contain
the story of "Colonel Roses Tunnel at
Libby prison." told by one of the
one hundred and nine Union officers
who escaped on the night of Febru-
airy 1864. The successful construct
ion of this tunnel, dug from dark
corner Of the cellar of the prisop
through fifty feet of solid earth,--the
only tools being two broken chisels
and wooden spitoon in which to
carry out the dirt, was one of the
most remarkable incidents of the war.
Colonel Rose. to whose indonita BILE
will and perseverance the success was
due, Is now captain in the 10Th
United States Infantry, and of the
fourteen men who assisted him in dir-
ging the tunnel, eleven are still living.
The narrative III the March Ceat,try

An Adverse Report.
Go be Continued.)

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Feb. Ex-senator Sawyer, from the
committee on commerce, to-day re-
ported adversely the bill allowing the
Duluth, Superior & Wisconsin rail
road right of way for a bridge across
the st. Louis river from Connor's
Point to Rice's Point. The report
gave the proposed bridge a good deal
of a roast. There were submitted
with the bill reports from the chief of
engineers, from Capt. Quinn, engin-
eer in charge of the works, and from
a meeting of citizens at Superior, Wis.
protesting against the erection of the
bridge. The report Of Capt. Quinn
states that the road is not known at
Duluth. He wrote to different man
ayers OF trunk lines connecting there.
thinking perhaps they might be back
OF the scheme, but got no reply, nor
did he hear anything from Gen Ham
mond of Superior, whom he was given
to understand was interested in the
matter. He could gain no inform
alton that the company mentioned
existed. The Northern Pacific had a
bridge across the river already and
another was being constructed. This
would give all the facilities necessary
as under the terms Of the acts allow
ing their construction these bridges
must be free to other roads. Should
the bridge be allowed, however, Capt.
Quinn advised that it should have at
least two pivot spans Of 125 feet and
a raft span of 300 feet. The commit
tee could not, under the circumstances,
recommend the bridge.

George Is made to endorse Mr.. Cleye-

Mr.. Cleveland has set his face
clearly in the direction of free trade.
The length or number of the steps is
not of SO much importance as that a
step has been taken. President Cleve-
land Is even now in advance Of his
party, and has made the issue. 1t
cannot be lodged or evaded. | am
with the administration and opposed
to third party presidential candi-
date as long as the administration and
the Democratic party tend toward
freedom. | have strong belief that
President Cleveland is far more radi-
cal than his party, or even his mes
sage, and that he will at the opertune
moment take a stride that will make
his last advance look insignificant.
