Stricken With Apoplexy.

| An aged gentleman of our acquaintance
went out after hearty meal to remove the
| ice from the sidewalk He worked as an
old man naturally would with his head and
shoulders bent low. He suddenly fell, be-
came unconscious and soon died.
| What was the cause of his deaths
Apoplexy-the physician would say apo
plexy of the brain.
In persons of good health, the coats of the
| arteries throughout the entire body are
tough and elastic. In unhealthy persons,
particularly those whose kidneys are dis
eased. the walls of the arteries undergo
"degen to the action of the
impurities in the blood which the kidneys
have been unable to remove.
In these cases, when the action of the
heart is intensified by vigorous exercise,
or excitement, the pressure upon some
artery becomes too strong for it in its
weakened statea rupture occurs and 6
stroke of apopIexy follows as matter OF
| course
Derangements of the kidneys are com
mon cause OF apoplexy.
Whenever they fail In the complete re-
moval of the waste matter in the blood, the
deadly poison known as uric acid &C
cumulates, and creeps through all the
blood channels where it rapidly causes de
cay.
The primary cause Of all organic disea sc
such as paralysis, consumption, heart dis
ease and nervous disorders, is directly at
tributable to failure of the kidneys IL
their special function of purifying the
blood. Kidney arrangement is without
doubt the most aggravating as well as the
most prevalent of all ills of the present day
and unless kidney disease is taken in time
and prompt restorative, such as Warner
Safe Cure, applied-death will inevitably
result.
Advanced kidney disease has bafaed the
united efforts Of the best physicians for
years and it is solely due to Warmers Safe
Cure, q simple vegetable discovery, that
modern science has been able to success
fully cope with it.
Life insurance companies make sure OF
it's non-eXistence before issuing their poll
cies and the learned and careful physician
will not attempt to prescribe for a patient
afflicted with serious illness before first
ascertaining if this disease is present.

CURIOUS HORSE TRADE.
How a Wide Awake Stranger Deceived
Michigan Livery Man.

How a Wide-Awake Stranger Deceived a
Michigan Livery Man.
Speaking of horse-trading reminds
me of curious trade / was mixed up
in a couple of years ago in Michigan.
l was in the livery business and a
stranger brought in looking
horse which he offered me for mere
song. The price seemed so low that l
fell into the trap, but soon discovered
that | owned an animal that no spur in
the State could goad into SO much IA a
trot. l traded him off to a doctor who
prided himself on being able to ride
any horse that could be saddled.
spread the report that the animal was
a holy terror, and that no man had
ever managed to ride him. The report
reached the doctors ears, as IeXpected
it would, and he soon made bet that he
could ride the horse. The parties to the
wager came round, and, as the doctor
liked the looks Of the brute, / soon
persuaded him to trade q very decent
driving horse for it. l warned the
doctor against riding the horse through
,
it on quiet road. Well, he won the
bet and the next day asked me if l
would trade back if he gave me $40 to
boot. l agreed, and he told me / had
better send a wagon to his place. for
the alleged bucker could never walk
back. He paid the money over and
took away his horse. When l sent for
the animal which had caused all the
sport 1 found 1 had traded for dead
horse, which 1 had the privilege of
burying. The doctor had felt so sore
about the trade the previous evening
that he had shot the alleged high-spir-
tied brute IT,. minute he had succeeded
in dragging it to his own stable.-Al-

Salt tor Black Weevii.

will state for the information of all
interested that the common black
weevil can be kept out of corn after it
is gathered, or killed if already in it.
by mixing salt through the corn as it
is put in the crib, and occasionally
sprinkling the corn with water to
cause the salt to dissolve. 1t is not
necessary to dissolve all the salt at the
time OF cribbing the corn, as it will
continue to dissolve, except in dry and
windy weather, and will do so even in
dry weather if it is very warm. Do not
throw the water on in quantities, as is
the custom of some persons in this
section. This causes the water
and salt to run through to the
bottom in large quantities, result
ing in damage to the corn at the bot
tom, also to the flooring and founda-
ton of the crib; besides, it may not
leave enough salt in the upper portion
of the corn. Some years since 1 no
ticed here small weevil in cotton-seed
meal. The same weevil. or one very
much resembling it. is now to be found
in corn here. The salt and water
remedy does not entirely exterminate
the brown weevil. but lessons their
numbers. This weevil damages corn
very little. / also had mites in my
corn the past fall, which the salt and
water exterminated as well as the
black weeyil.-J. L. Hardy. in Home

CHILDREN IN ALGIERS.

Great Changes Wrought in Their Habits
Under the Influence of Education.
The city of Algiers. the capital of
the great French province of Algeria,
in Northern Africa, has so mild a eli
mate that snow is almost unknown.
The average temperature in January
is fifty-four degrees; palm-trees grow
freely in the gardens and suburbs, and
the country has tropical aspect. No
little excitement was produced, there
fore. when one day last winter there
fell snow enough to cover the ground.
The last such snowfall had taken
place in 1861, SO that none OF the
younger people of the country had
ever seen any thing of the kind.
The sensation was so great. indeed,
that all the schools were closed, and
the pupils, rushing out, were heard to
make such remarks as these:
..Looki 1t is raining cotton y
Lets get some, and take it home
and save it!'
The boys gathered masses OF the
feecy snow to keep for curiosity,
and were astonished to see it turn into
water In their nanuS-
The boys of Algeria are strange
race. Most of them are Arabs, whose
speech was brought hundreds OF years
ago from Arabia. They are Mussul-
mans in religion; if they so to their
own Arab schools. called zawyas. they
are taught little except to recite verses
from the Koran. They are for the
oh
other boys among themselves, but IN
clined to be grave and suspicious In
the presence of foreigners.
Girls are seldom admitted to the
Arab schools, and they do not go, en-
cept rarely, to the French schools.
They are usually married at an age
when American girls are still playing
with dolls. A good proportion OF the
Arab bows attend the French schools,
and in some of the towns all the Arab
children speak and write French.
There is. however, race of people
in Algeria who are much more eager
to learn than the Arabs. They are the
Kabyles, who, although Mussulmans
in religion. some scientists believe to
belong to the same race as the lnhab-
itants of Southern Europe. They are
mostly farmers and mountaineers, and
are very Industrious; they are eager
to learn, and send all their girls and
boys to school wherever schools are
founded. Among them are some
strange colonies descended from the
ancient Romans. and still calling them
selves Romans, or RUM"

The question is often reiterated: us life
worth living?" Whatever advantages some
lives may have for their possegsors. they
certainly are of little service to others. save
as they may furnish warnings against a

no acquisition in moral worth to enrich
their own souls. Such people exert no good
