Then Papa Came Home.
From the Astoria Pioneer.


A woman up to st. Helen's is the wife
ola man who loves to hang about GER
tain grog shop bazaar, and in SO doing
he sorely neglects the helpmeet who
sits patiently at home and mends his
socks. Many time has she reasoned
with him and once even went SO far as
to request the sa,oonkeeper to cease
selling her husband liquor. But the
poison mixer babe her 90 hence and
exchange New Years calls with herself,
and she left his hateful presence.
That evening as she sat alone she
heard racket down cellar, and upon
investigation found that skunk had
got its tail in rat trap. Remember
ing that skunk would hold its peace
as long as its bushy tail was held, a
bright idea entered her head. The
clock in the house was striking one and
she wanted papa TO come home. She
threw a bag over the animal, and, after
grasping its tail, opened the trap, and
thus armed headed for the saloon. It
was only IL short distance away, and,
finding the door partly open she tossed
the skunk into the crowd and stole
away.
1t had the desired effect and papa
came home. The saloonkeeper, who
never took vacation before in his life
has gone into the country to visit rela-
tiyes, and the saloon is closed for re-

Tons of Pills.

From the New York Mail and Express.
There are eleven and one half tons of
postage stamps sold at the New York
post-office every year." remarked a
manufacturing chemist. ''Now guess
how many tons of pills are made in this
country every year.
What ha, postage stamps to do with
pills?''
Nothing whatever, save that each is
useful in its way. only cited the post
office vend to give you an idea of the
great weight of small things when con-
sidered in bulk. Give it up? Well, as
nearly as can be figured, they will
amount TO over fifty-two tons year. A
ton week is a fair estimate. In En-
gland alone there are 2,000,000,000 con-
sumed every year. That reduced to
tons would make about forty. How
many are used in other countries it
would be hard to say, but the total esti-
mate would not come far from 40 tons.
Say 500 tons are used year by the en-
tire world. The habit of pilltaking Is
ancient. 1t is the most convenient form
for carrying and taking, and is the most
popular. Formerly they were made by
hand. Now they are produced by ma
chinery. There are few manu- .acturers
who make 100000 pills week. Big
business, isn't it?''

A Canadian Giant.
From the Buffalo Courier.

One r. j. Harwood, hailing from
Hickson, Ont. writes to local steam
boat man that he wants a situation as a
deck hand Heis healthy, stands sew
en- feet eight inches, and is only 20 years
old. He has been farming it but be-
lieyes he would now like to try sailing.
Il expect to be a captain, health and
weather permitting" SAYS Farmer Har-
wood. A healthy man of seven feet has
no busine SIS to be deckhand. He is
big enough for a second mate, though it
might bother him some to move be-
tween decks.
A second mate is man who fills the
deckhands with adjectives and things
when they are dull or lazy at work
Or Farmer Harwood might be utilized
as lookout. He will perhaps have no
difficulty in finding berth. though he
might have to double up in it.

Value Of Rest.
From the Liverpool Courier.

From the Liverpool Courier.
There Is no better preventive of nerV-
Gus exhaustion than regular, unhurried
muscular exercise. II we could moder-
ate our hurry, lessen our worry and in
crease our open-air exercise, a large
proportion of nervous diseases would be
abolished. For those who cannot get a
sufficientholiday the best substitute is an
occasional day in bed. Many whose
nerves are constantly strained in their
daily vocation have discovered this for
themselves. A Spanish merchant in
Barcelona told his medical man that he
always went to bed for two or three days
whenever he could be spared from his
business. and laughed at those who
spent their holidays on toilsome noun
tains.
One of the hardest working women in
England, who has for many years con-
Quoted large wholesale business, re-
tains excellent nerves at an advanced
age, owing, it is believed. to her habit
OF taking one day week in bed. If We
cannot avoid frequent agitation, we
ought, if possible, to give the nervous
system time to recover itself between
the shocks. Even an Lour's seciusion
after a good lunch will deprive hur-
ried, anxious day of much of its injury
The nerves can often be overcome by
stratagem when they refuse to be con-
trolled by strength of will.

A Country on the Verge ofCivil War.
From the London Figaro.


1t is curious that so little attention has
been paid by the press of this country
to the burning question which is at pres
ent agitatlng the people of Scandinavia.
1t IS not exaggerating matters to state
that the country is on the verge of civil
war, the nation being divided into two
hostile sections, the questions at issue
being whether polygamy shall be recog-
nized as a legal institution. The Liber-
ais, under NJ. Nissen, who is a divine
and president Of the national temper
ance union, are agitating in favor of the
adoption O. polygamy; the Conservatives
are striving as resolutely against its rec
ignition. A very strange feature of the
struggle is that the peasant women
have, as rule, ranged themselves with
the would-be polygamists. The king
and the aristocracy are doing all they
can to put down the agitation, but NJ
Nlssen has the masses with him, and it
is certainly difficult to see how the af-
fair WI end
