A Georgia Lovers Stratagem.
[From the American Republican,

A young countrynan, who had long
loved a girl who lived a mile or two
from him, was nearly in despair about
winning her hand, and was on the eve Of
selling out aud leaving the country, as
the girl had refused him three times,
and it was out that she was engaged to
another fellow. Our hero had noticed
that his rival and the girl would walk in
an old meadow field nearly every after
noon, and he grew madly jealous. In
his cattle he had young bull that was
always mad with everything but his
master, because he was an especial pet.
Now Dave, as he called the bull, was to
be the object with which to satiate his
revenge. He would turn him into the
meadow, hide himself, and see his rival
tossed like football. SO one afternoon,
calling to Dave, who would follow him
like dog, he repaired to the meadow,
let the fence down, and turned the bull
in. He then strolled off, and walked
around as miserable as a man could be
who was committing an evil deed. An
hour or so later he heard the deep NUT
terings of the bull, and fastening to the
meadow fence he saw Dave about
twenty yards from the couple, paving
dirt and shaking his head The man
was trying to get the girl to run, but
she was so terrified she could not move.
The bull made dash, and the fellow
ran shrieking for the fence. The bull
dashed on after the flying fellow, while
our disconsolate young man, having
jumped the fence, rushed to the girl, as
the bull dashed on after The fugitive
rival, and, catching her in his arms,
told her that such coward was IN
worthy of her. AS Dave saw his young
master he left off pursuing the other
man, returned and went to licking his
hand, while the indignant girl vowed
she would never more speak to a man
that was afraid of COW. She soon af-
terward married Dawes boss.

Ohm Wanted His Grub.

They are telling a joke up the valley
on /. B. Hickey which is too good to
keep out Of print. About twoweeks ago
a Chinaman passing along the county
called at Rickey's ranch and wanted to
grub sagebrush for his dinner. Hickey
told him he could eat. but there was no
sagebrush to grub near the house.
The Chinaman had small sack on his
back. After dinner tile sack upset
somehow and lot of wheat rolled on
the floor. Hickey happened to be in at
the time and saw the wheat. 1t made
his eyes bulge. He picked up some Of
the kernels and was astonished to find
them about four times as large as any
wheat he had ever seen. He asked the
Chinaman to give him some, but he re-
fused, saying that the wheat came from
China, and it had cost him cheap mon
ey" to get the wheat The more Rick
ey saw of the wheat the more he wanted
it, and finally offered the Chinaman S25
for the sack, which had about thirty
pounds In it. The Chinaman turned
up his nose at the offer and said the
wheat cost more than that to get it from
China. Hickey studied the proposition
a while and decided that ne was bound
to be the first man to troduce that
mammoth wheat into the United
States. He calculated that few stalks
OF such wheat would make loaf of
bread. He finally spread out five twen-
ties under the Chinaman's nose and Of
fered him place to work on the ranch
for one year. Well, John finally let 90
the wheat and took his money. He
was then installed as ranch hand and
told to go to work in the morning. In
the morning he was gone, but Hickey
didn't mind that as he had the wheat.
He showed it to the ranch hands, and
his foreman, whose curiosity was excit-
ed, bit one of the kernels. It was not
grain at all, but flour moulded into the
shape of a wheat kernel almost as big
as a hazel nut. Some yellow satin
had been put on, and the heathen had
made such nice imitation that an old
rancher was fooled.-Carson Tribune.

A Steamships Momentum.

If large ocean steamship like the
Etruria when going ahead nt full speed
should suddenly reverse her engines.
how far would she forge ahead before
the reverse motion of her wheel would
stop her headway and begin to give her
sternway2 One of my friends main
tains that she could overcome her head
way in her own length. G..
ANSWERING one knows exactly how
far the Etruria would forge ahead, but
it would be a good deal more than q
mile. The Ehuria ordinarily runs
about twenty miles an hour, or about a
mile in three minutes. BY actual trial.
as in the case of the Oregon when the
collision that sunk her was seen to be
inevitable, the reversing of the wheel
and the throwing of the helm hard over
has no perceptiblo effect in changing the
course in much less than half a mile.
The mind fails to comprehend the tre-
mendous momentum of the huge mass
of steel, called ship in these days,
when going ahead ut full speed. Al
though the wheel 10y throwing the water
astern gives the big ship her momen-
tum when it starts whirling IN the op-
posite direction, its power Is scarce a
fourth of what ii has when whirliEg in
tt1 usual direction. 4 3 n wonder that
more collisions do not occur between
ships at sea rather than one does occur

John Henry Lawson and Sarah Jane
Clawiield, of Bellaire, Mich, went be-
fore justice Of the peace q year ago and
were married. They quarrelled, and q
few days ago agreed to be divorced,
walking eight miles Saturday to see the
old justice who had married them. The
justice put ON his judicial look and
sternly said:
"Unjine hands. AS they were sit
ting ten feet apart this was hardly neces-
sary. rNow, John Henry Lawson, you

State of Michigan, its heirs, assignees
and administrators, and do you agree

said party of the first part?'
81 do, !" said John Henry.
Sarah Jane, hold up your right
hand, " said the justice.
GA like oath was administered to her,
ending with: "John Henry, and do you
further promise that you will in future
do nothing to molest or make afraid, SO
help you Code"
81 do" vehemently asserted Sarah
Jane.
Stepping to the door and gazing
around the adjoining country. the Judge
loudly said:
"Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye! If any
man has aught to say why this couple
should not be uniined asunder, let him
forever stand forth and say it OF hold
his peace.
No objection being made, he solemnly
concluded: "Then, by virtue of the
power in me vested by the Legislature
of the State of Michigan and my official
oath, I hereby declare the partnership
hitherto existing between the parties to
this suit to be this day dissolved by mu-
tual consent. All claims against the
firm will be paid by John Henry Law
son, and all outstanding accounts owing
the firm will be paid into this court"
Then John Henry and Sarah Jane
went to their respective former homes.

Arose From Her Coffin,

There was sitting about hearth fire
last night three OF four young people Of
Chambersburg, and the wierd shapes
the flames took rs they jumped with
crackle from the hickory knot suggested
ghosts and ghost stories, and a dozen or
more of spirit tales Of greater or less
power to thrill the eager listener were
told. Of course there was q chest" sto-
ry and it was told by one whose birth
place was the South. The participants
in the strange affair were known to the
narrator. The tale began. A woman
apparently died and was placed in her
coffin ready for burial, the story contin-
ued, when the physician under whose
care the woman had expired went into
the room where the body lay. While
he was there the woman rose up in her
coffin, and III a dazed manner, as was
very proper it may be remarked, asked
where she was.
The physician was equal to the occa-
sion. He spoke not word, but lifted
the woman from the coffin and carried
her to her own room. The shroud was
there taken from her body and she was
clothed as living person before she re-
covered full consciousness. Her nus
band and children were told Of the won
derful occurrence, and when they had
recovered from the shock they were ad-
mitted to the womans presence. The
woman is to-day in excellent health, and
will doubtless, live to good old age,
but she has never heard Of the close ap-
proach she made to the mouth of the
grave. She knows nothing whatever of
her Apparent death and recovery

The medicine this gentleman took for
malaria, may have been effective, but few
would care to try the remedy. Nor is there
any necessity for it.
Malaria is a poisoned condition of the
blood, produced by bad air and water, which
enter the blood-cbannels through the stomach
and lungs, and other ways, and produce in
furious effects on the liver and kidneys. 1t
is cured by putting the liver and kidneys in
perfect, healthy working order. The drugs
ordinarily used for sach purposes frequently
do quite as much harm as good, and leave the
system in an enfeebled condition.
The certain and harmless remedy for ma
laria is Warmers safe cure, which puts the
liver and kidneys in healthy action, when
the poison is carried out of the system, and
