Sumner on Wade's Profanity.

1t should 90 without saying that
Charles Sumner was never guilty of
profanity. Yet he was tolerant of
those of his associates who, like Sena-
tor Wade, when righteously indignant,
would drop with great vigor into the
vernacular of his early life. Once
wnen the Senator from Ohio had made

"Sull if il had To be done, said the
Senator. you will admit that it was

Safeguard Against Insects.

Many people do not know how
easily they can protect themselves and
their children against the bites Of gnats
and other insects. Weak carbOlic acid
sponged on the skin and hair, and in
some cases the clothing, will drive
away the whole tribe. A great many
children and not "A few adults are tor
mented throughout the whole summer
by minute enemies. We know persons
who are afraid of picnics and even of
their own gardens on this account
Clothing is an imperfect protection,
for We have seen child whose foot
and ankle had been stung through
the stocking So seriously that for days
she could not wear leather shoe. All
this can be averted according to our
experience, and that we believe Of
many others, by carbolic acid judici-
ously used. The safest plan is 90 keep
a saturated solution of the acid. The
solution cannot contain more than q
or per cent, and it may bc added 20
water until the latter smells strongly.
This may readily, and with perfect
safety, be applied with "A sponge. We
have no doubt that horses and cattle
could be protected in the same way
from the lilies, which sometimes nearly
madden them, and il even seems pos
sible that that terrible scourge, the
African Tsetse fly, might be kept OF
in the same manner.--LOHd0H Lancet

The Cycle for Military Purposes.

Mounted infantry suffer in any case
under many dis dvantages as an ef-
feetive force; one-third of the number
must be left to take care of the horses,
and the remaining two-thirds are ham
pered by the necessity of keeping with
in Il certain distance of their animals,
while the horses themselves form a con-
spiCuous mark for the enemies artil-
lerY. Compare mounted infantry
under these conditions with n similar
number of men mounted upon cycles.
More inconspcuous and more silent,
the cycle soldiers could advance with
equal rapidity and ease, and the ma
chimes, stacked in pairs or thrown
in the grass or under trees or hedges,
would be quite invisible at a very
short distance, and, even if seen, much
less easily damaged than a similar
number of horses. The whole of the
men would then be available for the
OF binary wort, of infantry, thus adding
one-thiru 10 the effective strength Of
the detachment. Such bodies of cycle
soldiers, drawn from among the
marksmen of our army, would as
Lieut.. Col. Savile recently suggested,
possess n special value i'm the field.
As scouts, the cycle soldiers would again
Ai'lNt nlstIN DOluAS III btiNAA NV Ohs
When compared with infantry, they
would be decidedly superior in speed,
while, should occasion arise, the cy-
clist could drop his machine in its
tracks and act entirely ms an infantry
man. When keeping touch over a
wide stretch of country the extra pace
attninable by the light-riding scout
would be of immense advantage. As
compared with the cavalry scout the
cycle-mounted soldier would possess
many important recommendations;
he would be much less conspicuous
than the cavalryman, not inferior to
HIM in speed, much more independent
of his mount should it be at any time
necessary for him to operate on foot,
while his progress would be more
silent, especially at high speeds. Be
hind the fighting line the cyclist would
be found very useful, Message carry
ing, as was remarked at recent dis
cussion on these points, is poor work
for a cavalry soldier; valuable horses
are wearied, and useful soldiers sent
away on duties which could be ut least
as effectively rendered by an average
cyclist, and a proper trained and or
ganized body of cycling messengers
would, | feel, show n much higher
average of speed,-LOngnaan's Maya

OVPrraached Himself.

Mr. James Keegan had bargained at
Prince Edward Islald for Il horse, the
price to be $175, and was just about to
hand over the money when he re-
marked: THE halter goes with the
horse, of course; have none with me. .
The halter in question was an old one,
worth perhaps 40 cents. 20, no, re-
piled the owner, IF you want the
halter I want my pay for it." This
was too much for our genial friend
Keegan, and quoth he: How much
do you want for your old halter?
Seventy-1iye cents was the reply
'sAll right, said Keegan. Here's
your IS cents; that's just such a halter
as I've been looking for" And rs he
passed over the change he quietly took
off the halter, put the $40 back into
his pocket, stepped into rs buggy, and
rode away, leaving his overgrasping
owner to lament the loss of good sale
and to get home his brldleless horse as
best he mlght.-AuguSto (Ae.) NeO

A Funny Sight.

Joe Buckley tells funny story
about several hodcarriers whom he
saw at work in Boston one day recent
ly. They we're laboring, but not too
hard, thus avoiding any possibility of
a sunstroke from overeXertion, Sew
eral were engaged in filling their hods
with brick and mortar and three were
toiling up the long ladder leading to
the top of the building, their backs
bending beneath the weight of a hod-
full of bricks apiece.
The foremost man was within three
or four rounds of the top of the ladder
when suddenly the II O'clock whistle
blew. Presto! The scene changed
Immediately. The men at work on
the ground dropped the bricks they
were handling as if those articles were
red-hot, while the fellows on the lad
der made much quicker time in scram-
bling backward toward terra firma
than they had in travelling in an up
ward direction
But the funniest of ALL the man who
was near the top of the ladder, instead
of going ahead and dumping his load,
actually came all the way To the
ground, bringing hod and bricks with
him.
In his eagerness to quit work, he
forgot that lac would have to make has
journey over again. -BrocbtoR Gazette.

sad Emects Of Iaar-Roxine.

Science publishes some valuable
records collected by DIR. Samuel Sexton
on the observed effects of boxing the
ears. DR.. Sexton has iifty-one eases
upon his records i'm which the ear has
been injured by blows Of the open
hand or fist. The nature of the I'M
iuries varied considerably. One bad
Inflammation of the ear, with suspicion
of inuaeranial trouble. and "a running
of the ear for twelve years following a
blow upon that organ, This patient
subsequently died of brain disease. In
another case the ear became innamed
and the hearing very much impaired.
In another case the patient was slapped
by his father upon the left ear and im-
mediate pain and deafness ensuod,
with a bloody discharge from which he
was three months in recovering.
The dangers 20 which DR.. sexton
calls attention are so grave that
parents and all others should choose
some other method of Furnishing their
children than boxing the ears. 10 is
not improbable that. IL Dr.. sexton
pursues his inquiries further, he viii
find other cases in which brain disease
has followed this barbarous practice.

The Family Doctor.

No person should battle when the
body is fatigued by either mental or
physical labor, or Immediately after
meal.
Friction with pine oil is favorite
cure for rheumatic affections in Ger
many, and also for bronchial and
throat complaints. The aromatic,
astringent fragrance of the oil, which
is made from resinous portions of the
fir tree, has salutary effect in pulmon-
airy cases.
Ii the feet are tender or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt
and water. A handful of salt to a
gallon of water is the right proportion.
Have the water as hot as can comfort
ably be borne. Immerse the feet and
throw the water over the legs as far
as the knees with the hands. When
the water becomes too cool rub brisk
" with a fresh towel. This method,
if used night and morning, will cure
neuralgia of the feet.
At recent meeting of. the Societie
de Biolog.e, Dr. Laborderie read a
paper on skin grating from the frog
to man. The experiment was tried in
the case of a man whose feet had been
burned by molten lead. On one of the
wounds were put four gratis of human
skin. and on the other four gratis
from the skin of frog. All of these,
it is reported, took firm hold on the
wounds. The frog-skin gratis retained
their peculiar color few days, after
ward changing to the color of the
human skin. The wounds healed
rapidly.
According to Dr. Leuf, when water
is taken into the full or partly full
stomach, it does not mingle with the
food, as we are generally taught, but
passes along quickly between the food
and the lesser curvature, toward the
pylorus, through which it passes into
the intestine. The secretion OF mucus
by the lining memb rane is constant,
and during the night a considerable
amount accumulates in the stomach;
some of its liquid portion is absorbed,
and that which remains is thick and
tenacious. If food is taken into the
stomach wnen in this condition, it be-
comes coated with this mucus, and the
secretion of the gastric juice and its
action are delayed These facts show
the value of a goblet of water before
breakfast This washes out the ten
acious mucous and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old or feeble
persons water should not be taken
cold, but it may be with great adj
vantage taken warm. This removal
of the accumulated mucus from the
stomach is probably one OF the reasons
why taking soup at the beginning of
meal has always been found SO bene-
fetal.

Angels in Tennessee.

Last Saturday evening, atabout SUM-
down, on the Sterling johnson place,
two and a half miles southeast OF
Milan, six angels were seen to fly down
into the yard of Mrs. Wood, a widow
lady. It seems that Mrs. Wood was
very low with sickness, and several
ladies were present attending to the
wants of the sick, when a noise in the
yard attracted their attention. Upon
looking out of the window they saw an
angel and in a moment more it was
joined by five others. They were there
for few minutes and took their flight,
flying straight up until lost to view.
They, with the exception of wings,
were in form and shape of man, with
clear-cut and finely-formed features,
and were clothed in garments of pure
and spotless white, while halo of
heavenly light encircled their heads.
The above was told to us as the truth
and can be youched for by the ladies
who were in attendance upon Mrs.
Wood Be that as it may, it has
created considerable excitement in the
neiohborhood.-l Milan Exchange.

Saved BY a Clubbing.

A refreshing and instructive story
for the season, touching the risks OF
drowning and other disasters through
ignorance of the common laws of the
preservation of life, is related by a
broker whose mother. sister, and little
brother have been spending a few
weeks at an inland resort, near the
river, says the Washington Critic.
1t appears that the young lad of the
family. Frank, together with friend
of about his own age, were swimming
in the river when the former was taken
with the cramps and sank from view.
Upon his temperance at the surface
his young friend tried to pull him
ashore, but. with the characteristic
frenzy of drowning persons Frank
grabbed his would be rcscuer by both
arms, and not only effectually pre-
vented him from helping him but,
came near pulling him down also.
The Young fellow was. however,
equal to the emergency. With one
supreme effort he released himself
from his friends grasp and swan to
the shore. Securing, after quick
search, a small club, he rapidly swan
back and reached the droN ming boy rs
he came up the second time. Giving
him Il sharp rap on the head with the
club, knocking him insensble, he
grasped him and SWAN rap dly to the
shore. After Il half hours work he
finally resuscltated the young fellow,
who, between the fright, the water,
and sore head, was in q pretty
ratified state
The facts did not come out until
recently, when after weeks sickness
from ''water on the stomach, the
young fellow told his mother all about
it. 1t is needless to say the rescuer
did not 90 unrewarded. The next eX-
press carried him a handsome watch
and chain. For a 12-year-old this eX-
hibition of heroism and presence OF
mind was, to say the least, remark
able.

mir. and Mrs. Potter.

Editor Dalziel. in New York ffath,
is authority for the following:
'.Mr. and Mrs james Brown Potter
have separated. The news may be a
surprise to my readers. but t is never
theless perfectly true, and henceforth
these people will not live in the bonds
OF matrmOny. just prior to Mrs.
P0tter's debut in London, it will be re-
membered that Mr.. James Brown Pot
ter made a flying trip TO Europe. Mr..
Potter occupies rather a lucrative po-
sition with Brown Brothers, the bank
ers, which was secured for him some
years ago through the influence of his
relative B shop Potter. These gentle
men urged upon Mr.. Potter the inn
pOrtance of withdrawing his wife from
the notoriety she was likely to gain by
a stage career, and acting largely on
their suggestion, and backed by his
own and the family feeling on the sub
iect, he started for London and arrived
there just prior to her debut. There
were several interviews between hus-
band and wife, in which he pleaded
and she remained obdurate until. she
finally positively refused to accede to
his demand, suggested termination
of their marriage relations, and de-
manded his return to America at once,
as she claimed his presence was detri-
mental to her chances of success. An
agreement of separation was entered
into then and there, and Mr.. Potter
returned to America minus wife.
That Mr. Potter was very much at
tached to his W .fe / have no doubt,
and 1 believe he feels the break in his
home relations most keenly. | do not
know that any divorce proceedings
are contemplated for the moment, but
there was tacit understanding be-
tween them that the matter should be
kept quiet, and that no recourse should
be had to the divorce courts unless
their disagreement should become
public property"

TunneIing the Rocky Mountains.

One of the most prOdigiOus engineer
inc projects now on the taps is that CT
tunnelng the Rocky Mountains under
TRAYS Peak. which rises no less than
14.441 feet above the level of the sea.
1t is stated that at 4, AL feet below the
peak, by tunneling from east to west
for %, 600 feet, direct communication
could be opened between the valleys
on the Atlantic slope and those on the
Pacific side. This would shorten the
distance between Denver in Colorado
and Salt Lake City in Utah, and cOnse-
quently the distance between the
Missouri river, say at st. Louis, and
San Francisco. nearly 800 miles, and
there would be little more required
in the way of ascending or descending
or tunueling mountains. Part of the
work has already been accomplished.
The country from the Missouri to the
foot of the Rockies rises gradually in
rolling prairie until an elevation is
reached of 5000 feet above the sea
level. The Rockies themselves rise at
various places to highth exceeding
II, 200 feet. OF the twenty most fam
Gus passes, only seven are below 10,
600 feet, while five are upward of r.
600, and one $4,000 feet. The point
from which it is proposed to tunnel Is
sixty miles west of Denver, and al
though one of the highest peaks. it is
by far the narrow est in the great back
bone of the American continent.
