A Narrow Escape.

y story is going the rounds of the
newspapers that an assassin shot through
the window Of the house of Senator John
l.. Jones with tine intention of killing
President Arthur. This WAS i'll the early
fall of ISL, while the President was
temporarily living with Senator Jones.

Immediately after Garfield's death he

Building a Home.

Presuming that location has been
selected, with special view of arrange
ment of cesspools, wells, cisterns, and
outhouses, which should flow down
md away from the foundation of the
house, and which should at no time
flow toward you from neighboring dwell
ings, the greatest thing then to con
slider is to preserve sanitary conditions.
1t seems somewhat superiiuous to warn
one against keeping decayed vegetables
around the cellar, but there are thou
sands who, through sheer neglect, in.
vite weekly and daily all germs of infec-
tious disease through this most common
OF household evils. In the cellar, above
oil places, plenty of fresh air should lie
admitted. There is hardly a house
keeper, no matter how vigorously the
reader may resent this imputation, WHO
is entirely free from the charge of shift
lessness. Wherever refuse bits of food
are left to mould, plate left nnwashed,
o wash cloth uncleansed, and even
where fresh milk, meat, or other goods
are left uncovered in living rooms
or bed rooms, there disease will propag-
ate. not instantly, understand me, in a
vlrnlent, venomOus form, but insidious
~ the impurities arising from the de.
composing matter will leave their effect
upon oil inhaling the air of the apart
ment impregnated by the rising gases.
Many houses are now built to rent or |
sell. and constructed in the most flimsy
manner. They are built to rent or sell,
md the mere advertisement that house
IL furnished with the most improved |
sanitary appliances should not be con
sidered as sufficient guarantee. The
cellar should be visited. If its walls are
cracked, damp, or colored with mould,
i water stands upon its floor, and if
light and ventilation are no. provided
Tor, seek some other habitation. OF
course newly constructed walls are nj
ways damp until seasoned by time. A
great amount of water is used in the
mortar and plnstering, and much of this
must evapOrate before the building is
it for occupancy. Neither should
house freshly painted with lead paints
,e occupied until the paint is we'll dried.
The living rooms should be placed on
he sunny, airy side of the house, and
he bed rooms examined with reference
o their means Of ventilation.

There are three things about Which n
man knows more than his wife. yea four
things about which he will not hearken
to wisdom-when he ought to take his
umbrella, when he ought to put on dry
clothes, when he ought not to remove
his hannels and when lie ought not to
60 out on steamer without an overcoat.
Thousands of people went out from Tor
onto by boat on Dominion Day, and
probably IS per cent. of the total of
male excursionists were advised by sis.
ter, mother, or wife to take overcoats.
But not 2 per cent. were persuaded. 1t
Is fact that it was cold dav on the
lake and that the wnnt of heavier cloth
ing spoiled the day for hundreds. The
women were as lightly clad as the men,
and suffered even more seriously from
the chilliness of the atmosphere. And
probably half of these shivering women
had urged their brothers or fathers or
husbands to take overccats. 1t is
usually safe to trust woman to think
too much of the comfort of the men
around her and to neglect to provide for
her own wants or to insure her own
pleasure. But the moral of this is that
you should very rarely 60 out on the
lake without an overcoat, and that when
the women of your household attack you
along this line you should yield like
wise man, and then institute a rigid
'ounter.inquiry into the provisions the
women have made for their own comfort.

The preachers of freetrade who, like

addressed themselves especially to vot-
ing farmers. Not long since, tons Of
pamphlets, written by member OF the

were scattered throughout the western
states. In these our farmers were pic
tured as ground down by extortions,
made possible by protective tariff,

demand free trade with the world rs Il

string thus attuned To British interests,
freetrade advocates have since steadily
harped, until the question of reserving

gift to foreigners, has become the fore
most issue in a presidential campaign.

Married, but not Mated.

VIM. G.. Thomas of Bangor, by Mills,
Osborn d GOss, his solicitors, gives the
circuit court for the county of Van
Buren,, in chancery, To understand and
be informed that, some four years since,
he intermarried with one Jennie May
Skinner and that they lived together rs
husband and wife until November, 1885,
ut which time the said Jennie, disre-
garding the solemnity of her marriage
vow, without just cause or provocation
and against his wishes, wilfully deserted
and abandoned him, and has ever since
lived apart from him and refused tn
reside with him, wherefore he humbly
prays that the said court will cut the
gordian knot that binds him TO an un-
loving wife.
Jennie Swain of South Haven, by her
solicitor, A. Il. Thomas, respectfully
shows unto the court that, in July,
1885, unfortunately for her happiness
and peace, she was married To one
Robert Swain and that they lived and
cohabited together rs husband and wife
until the month of December, 1887.
The said Jennie, under oath, declares
that since the said marriage, her said
husband has utterly refused and neg
lected to suitably provide for her sup
port and maintenance, although he has
had the means and ability SO to do, and
that for six months past he has contrib
uted absolutely nothing for her support;
that during the period of her married
life, instead of receiving her mainten-
ance ut the hands of her husband, as
was her right, she had 10 support not
only herself, but her lazy husband also;
that she does not now know and for the
past six months has not known his
whereabouts; that the last she heard of
him he was in the state of Connecticut;
for the reasons alleged, she asks the
court To dissolve the matrimonial con
tract between herself and the said

Protection and the Farmer.

The farmer is especially interested in
the maintenance of Il policy that en-
courages tie growth of manufactures
in this country. His benefits from "A
protective tariff are two fold. The
number of those who consume farm
products is increased without cores
ponding increase i'm the number of
farmers. Villages and cities make a
profitable market for the many pro-
ducts of the farm which could not be
exported. Hence the greater the num-
Der of consumers engaged i'm some nom
competing business, such as mining,
manufacturing and the mechanic arts,
the broader the farmers market; and
the more those thus employed can earn,
the better customers they are certain to
become. Any policy tending to make
the calling of these workers less attract
i've by reducing their earnings or add
ing to their hardships, will induce some
of them to become tillers of the soil
and compel all of them To observe
increased economy in purchasing the
necessaries of life.
The freetrade philosopher is accus-
toned to dismiss these facts with u
wave of the same hand with which he
points to his favorite refuge, "the mar
kets OF the world" ready to absorb the
agricultural surplus of the country
The folly of such dependence becomes
apparent when il is found that these

of farm products, which the freetrader
