Careless Talking.

What grave errors are frequently COM
mitted through mere thoughtlessness.
If We could foresee the pain that is often
caused by lightly spoken words, how
much more careful would we be in
weighing their significance before utter
ing them! One of the gravest errors of
the kind | have ever known occurred
the other day. l had called at the Office
of one Of our leading citizens on q mat
ter of business. He had just returned
from a visit to his old home, where he
had been attending to the sad duty Of
burying a near and dear relative,
and as we sat talking about the business
affair that engaged our attention a friend
of the leading citizen walked in, shook
him warmly by the hand and asked him
when he had got back. Their mutual
greetings were warm and cordial until
the caller wound up his by exclaim-
ing, thoughtlessly, no doubt, and with
out for a moment approaching how
apropos was the remark: Hope you had
a good time" | shall never forget the
look which passed across the face of the
afflicted man as, without replying, he
waved his visitor to a seat and resumed
his conversation with me. / thought to
myself, If that man knew what a mis-
take he had made he would be more
careful in future Of speaking without
thinklng.-Chicago Journal.

cisely whether he could pass under an
overhanging bough without STOPPING,
and, if not, how much he would have 10
stoop.
If necessary, without pausing for a
moment in his trot, he would double
down until his belly almost touched the
ground, and wriggle himself through
under a fallen tree in the most ludicrous
manner.
1t is no easy task for a man., even
though he be accustomed to the noun
tains and the forests, to make his way
through the matted labyrinth of these
primeval woods: but through such
places, if they were practicable at all,
Jack would run, jump, climb or crawl,
picking his way without pause.
His faculty of STOPPING under branches,
though very useful at times, was incon-
venient when lie was required asa riding

that he had not a tail pack upon his
back. and in passing under some leaning
tree, to avoid which the rider would
merely stoop his head, not expecting for
a moment that the mule would stoop
also, down he would go, and with a
twist and wriggle of his body writhe
himself under the supposed obstacle,
much to his riders surprise and discom-
fort.-Youth's Companion.

"A couple of hunters from the Catskills
followed a bear trail for three days.
Near Shutdown, a charming little nook,
entirely shut in by great mountain
peaks, the hunters came suddenly upon
they prey. There was an old bear and
three good sized cubs. They all ran for
their lives at sight of the hunters, but
Levi Small rushed headlong in pursuit of
one of the cubs that had made a sense
less detour, and, slipping on a bit of
treacherous ice, he went tobogganing
down the side of the mountain. The cub
was tripped up by one of Small's COW
hide boots, and the shaggy youngster
took a funny tumble along with the
hunter. Seeing her offspring in danger,
the old bear rushed to the scene, but the
companion Of Small fred a shot with
such good effect that Bruin fell in her
tracks. Another ball finished the game,
and then attention was directed to the
impromptu tobogganer, who was having
a rough and tumble fight with the cub.
1t was quickly dispatched andt the other
cubs were taken alive. Philadelphia

A Brave Little Sailor.

On q weather worn bark that is moored
to a dock in South Washington tonight
there is a little chap with a remarkable
history. He is Z years old, his name is
Garfield Slocum, and he is the son of
Capt. Slocum, who has just arrived here
in a small boat from a 1000 mile sail
from South America. Garfield was born
in 1881 in Hong Kong, China, and was
named in honor of President Garfield by
Col. Mosby, consul at that point. The
boy has travelled not less than 215. 900
miles, including two voyages around the
! world, and has touched his foot upon the
soil of the three Americas, Europe, ASA,
Africa and any quantity of islands,
and been clear around Australia. His
last trip on the Libertad, a boat thirty
five feet long, carrying only four tons,
was 1000 miles long, q sea voyage UNI
paralleled for a vessel of the size. His
father, mother and elder brother were
his companions. At times they were
1000 miles from land, and the frail little
craft met dangerous storms, but came
through safely. Garfield is a good sailor
and has never shown any fear of the sea.
In fact he does not know anything but
the ser. having aese, we'd on land longer
than two weeks at a time. This Lib
ertad trip, however, did not strike him
very favorably, and the first night on
board the small boat, when he knelt at
his mothers knee to say his prayers, he
looked around a moment and doubtingly
remarked. Mamma, this boat isn't big
enough to pray in.'-Washington Cor.

The Oh Cartridges.

The power which petroleum exerts in
calming the surface of a troubled, even
tempestuous ocean, is conceded by the
most conservative navigators. However
efficient petroleum may be in rousing n
storm on land and generating a cyclone
in every oil exchange of the United
States, on the briny deep its influence is
wholly in the direction of peace and
quietness and restfulness. 1t lulls King
Neptune's stormiest moods, and a few
gallons have brought gallant ships safely
through watery connections that threat
ened them with sure submerging. Here
tofore a simple throwing or dripping of
oil from the ship has been the method
pursued. Now a Yankee inventor has
patented al oil cartridge, which, fired
from gun, projects the oil far in adj
inc of the vessel and thereby stills the
waves before the ship. By means of
these cartridges, it Is claimed that q
serene path an eighth of a mile wide can
be made through the heaviest seas.

The Satellite of Neptune.

NJ. Tisserand has presented a report
to the Paris Academy of Sciences con-
corning some remarkable observations of
the satellite of the planet Neptune,
which was discovered in 1S47. The an
gle which the plane of the orbit of this
satellite made at that date with the eclip-
tic was abour 80 degs., but this angle has
now increased by at least 6 dogs. The
satellite moves round its principal in an
opposite direction to that usually fol-
lowed by other satellites, SO that n ques-
ton might be raised whether in the
course Of time this variation In the in
clination of the plane of its orbit might
not end in its movement around its prin-
cipal becoming normal. NJ. Tisserand
showed that this variation of inclination
was due to the oblate or hattened con-
dition of Neptune at its poles, and that
it will complete its limit within a period
of 500 years, at the end of which time it
will again be as it was in 1s47.-Scien-
fific American. III.

legislatures, city governments, courts and
officials is consequently 10 required
than was ever required before, and, SO
far as appears, the need will continue to
grow with our advance iii settlement.
Our average national death rate has so
far been comparatively low. but many of
the large cities of England, notably Lon
don. Liverpool and Manchester, surpass
us in their management of sanitary mat
tiers, and, If the immunity is to continue,
we must take additional steps to secure it.
The trouble is not SO much that we do
not possess a sufficient number of laws
as that we are lax in enforcing those we
have. II appears for example that the
yellow fever, the outbreak of which has
been so disastrous in Florida, was intro
duced there from Cuba through the
agency of struggled goods; and yet there
exists a law against smuggling. If it
had been effectually enforced, there
would have been no epidemic. The in
tention of this law, it is true, is not san
itary. But when we find statutes the
object of which is to secure money al
lowed to fall into allegiance, we may be,
a priori, sure the enforcement of the SAN
itary laws will be SO much the more neg
lected.
1t must be the aim of the city, state
and national legislators that communi-
ties obtain the laws they require for the
prevention, restriction and abolition of
disease, wholly uninluenced by political,
partisan or mercenary considerations.
The control of Legislation by corporations,
monopoIies and money kings should
cease. And in the enforcement of sani-
tary statutes, greater impartiality Is de-
manded. The man of wealth and influ-
ence should be, indeed, in all respects,
equal to the eye of the law" with the
poorest, and it should be put beyond the
power of any of those financial dictators
with whom our age and country have
been afflicted to push their grasping
schemes, as they SO often do at present,
to the detrinent of the lives or health
of their fellow men.-Boston Herald.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. {. An unac
sountable accident occurred at the in
ane asylum, nearly three miles south
and west of the city, that is one of the
most terrible tragedies ever known in
the state.
The boiler house of the asylum is u
mass of ruins. the result of the explosion
of the boiler therein, and two human
lives paid the penalty. They were pa
.tients of the asylum. The victims who
paid the penalty of tie accident with
their livee were:
I. X. SAUNDERS, a patient from Paw
nee county.
w. II. HUNTLEY,a patient from Saline
county.
Saunders was committed to the care
of the institution in 1888, and Huntley
To- year later. Both were frightfully
tscalded and must have died instantly.
The former was forty-one and the latter
ten years his junior.
A. ID. Clifford Of Bennett, Lancaster
county, another patient. was also badly
5calded and burned. and his recovery is
doubtful.
John Merlin, chief engineer, at his
post, was fatally injured, and died at |
o'clock. He wa thrown through the
building, and was badly scalded.
John C. Hall, a patient from Omaha,
was slightly injured.
George Davis, the second engineer, had
his head badly cut and his arm broken.
He suffers grett pain, but his injuries
are not necessarily considered fatal. He
states that they had Just blown off en-
CINE No. 2, aud started fires under the
other boilers, and everything seemed to
be working all right, when he heard a
noise in the dome of engine No. 2, and
sprang to the door to call the chief en-
gineer, and a moment later everything
was in ruins.
1t was learned at the state house, how
ever that the boilers had not beer in
spected for six years, and if this proves
to be true, criminal careiessness may
lurk somewhere.
The debris of the wrecked engine
house is scattered but little. The huge
smokestack stands like q lone sentry
over the ruins, apparently uninjured,
with a portion of the north wall of the
building. The ruins are heaped within
the original space of the walls aud form
a black mass of upturned boilers, black
ened timbers, brick and stone, twisted
iron rods, and all the apparatus usually
found in a boiler house and electric
light establishment.
The asylum suffered but little damage.
A few window lights were shattered,
but this was all. Forty heating stoves
have been taken to the asylum since
nightfull. Everything possible has been
done for the comfort of the patients of
the Institution.
The damage is estimated at $40, 900,
1t is said that a terrible state of excite
ment exists at the asylum. Some of the
patients are fairly frenzied. A number
of citizens of the city have gone to the
