q WOMAN'S BLUFF.
Row She Used Her Husband After Eloping 2
 with His Hired Man.

with His Hired Man.
 After two or threc days of weary search a Canadian named Williams, living near St. Thomas. located his eloping wife here in Detroit. She had run away with the hired man, and they were boarding with family on Champlain street. An officer went with the husband to interview the faithless one, rather expecting trouble, but there was none. The visitors were ushered into the sitting-room. and the wife rose up and calmly asked
 "Who did you wish to see, gentle men?a
 Mary, I've come for you.n replied the husband. Why did you run away from me and the children? Where's that scoundrel of q Pete?o
 Mary? Mary? Haven't you made mistake, sir?" she queried
 Come, Mary, none of that," he an- swered. You've got to go back with me.
 sir, what means this language?a she demanded. Officer, did you bring this man here to insult me?'
 '.He says you are his wife.
 "Of course she is,h
 "Ifis wife! l never set eyes on him before He is either drunk or crazy.'
 Not my wife, he shouted. Haven't we lived together eighteen years? Didn't you and Pete skip from home ten days ago? Haven't you got two children waiting for you to come back? And haven't I come to waltz you home and pound Pete within an inch of his life?a
 T must demand your proteetion,n ,n she said to the officer This has gone too far already. The man must be crazyr'

 You must be mistaken" said the officer.
 No, hain't,'
 But I guess you are, and We will go.
 Your name and the number Of your badge, please?o asked the woman, and when they were given she wrote them down and bowed the officer out. The husband went, too, but vigorously con- tended that no mistake had been made. Two hours later he returned to the house to make another effort, but the wife had disappeared, leaving behind her note which read:

LADIES ON HORSEBACK.
Suggestions by Prof. Gleason, the Dis
 tinguished Horse-Tamer.

The saddlefy for the Use of ladies i5 similar to that devoted to gentlemen riding, except that it is more orna- mental and the saddle is furnished with crutehes for side-riding.. The saddle should be carefully fitted to the horse, and there should always be third crutch. The stirrup may be either like q mans with lining of leather or vel- vet, or it may be a slipper, which is safer and also easier to the foot The lady's whip is a light affair, but, as her horse ought seldom to require punish ment, it is carried more 10 threaten than to give punishment. A spun may be added foe q lady,s use; it is some times needf0l for the purpose of giving q stimulus at the right moment. If used, it is buckled on to the boot, and a small opening made in the habit. with string attached to the inside, which is then tied around the ankle, and thus keeps the spur always pro jccting beyond the folds Of the habit. 4 nose martingale is generally added for ornament. but no horse which throws its head up is fit for Iady's ase.
 In mounting the horse is held stead- fly, taking care to keep him well where the lady stands The gentleman as sistant then places his right hand on his right knee and receives the lady's left foot Previously to this she has taken the reins in her right hand, then with her left on the gentleman shoul- der she makes a spring from the ground and is easily lifted into the sad ale. As she rises she still keeps hold of the eruteh, which throws the body sideways into the saddle. The right knee hooked over the crutch keeps the body from slipping backwards, while the left keeps it from a forward mo- ton, and thus the proper position is maintained. In all cases the right foot should be kept back and the point of the toe should be scarcely visible In spite of her side seat the body should be square to the front, with the elbow easily bent and preserved in its proper position by the same preeaution.
 The whip is generally held in the right hand, with the lash pointing for ward. and toward the left, and by this position it may be used on any part of the horses body by reaching over to the left and cutting before or behind the saddle, or with great ease on the right side. In dismounting, the horse is brought to a dead stop and his head held by an assistant; the lady then turns her knee back again from the position between the outside crutch, takes her foot out of the stirup, and sits completely; sideways: she then puts her left hand on the gentleman $ shoulder, who places his right arm around her waist and lightly assists her to the ground Troy ~ Kl Times.

Nasal Voices. Catarrh and False
 Teeth" "

A prominent English woman sars the American women all have high, shrlII, nasal voices and false teeth.
 Americans don't like the constant twit- ting they get about this nasal twang, and yet t is fact caused by our dry stmul la- ting atmosphere, and the universal pres ence of catarrhal difficulties.
 But why should 50 many Of our women have false teeth!
 That IS more of poser to the English l. is quite impossible to account for i except on the theory of deranged stomach action caused by lmprudence i'll eating and by want of regular exercise
 Both conditions are unnatural.
 Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and end in cough and consumption, which are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by deranged stomach action. The condition Is modern one, one unknown to our an cestors who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and consumption by abundant aut regular use of what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump- ton remedy and Log CapIn sarsaparlua, two old-fashioned standard remedies handed down from our ancestors, and now exclusively put fGsth under the strongest guarantees of purity and efficacy by the world famed makers of Warmers safe cure These two remedies pleutifally used as the fall and winter seasons advance, to- gether with an occasional use of Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, 10 strengthen and protect the nasal membranes, give a posi- tive assurance of freedom, both from ca tarrh and those dreadful and if neglected, inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung troubles and consumption which so gener- ally and fatally psevau among our people.
 Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co., Iowa, served four years in the late war and contracted a disease called consumption by the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages After using Warmers Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy, he says, under date of Jan. 18th, 1ssS: II do not bleed at the lungs any more, my cough does not bother me, and do not have any more smothering spells Warmers Log Cabin rose cream cured his wife of catarrh and she is s'sound and well.
 Of course we do not like to have our women called nose takers and false teeth owners, but these conditions can be readily overcome in the manner indicated.

THE GRAVE question of the hour
now is, when Mrs. Cleveland tossed
that orange at her husband and he
failed to catch it, did IL hit him on the
nose or on the breast. The Philadel-
phia Press, a vile Protection organ,
says it was on the breast, while the
Washington Post, the organ Of the
Administration, says it was on the
nose. All things considered, we are
inclined to accept the Posts state
ment and vote with the "nose" on
the question.

but the darkness is all the same,
whether they be few or many, to
whom the sun hath set.

may be put and of the manner in

monuments of judicious foresight
