A Simple Relief For 1 ing Troubles.

. A Simple Relief For i ung Troubles.
From the Cocoa (Fla.) Spirit.
Dnring visit to the home OF a
most estimable lady living on Indian
River the editor was told of discov-
cry that has been made which may
prove a boon to sufferers from lung
or bronchial troubles. This lady
having heard that there was pc
culiar virtue in a pillow made from
pine straw, and having none of that
material at hand. made one from
fine, soft pine shaYings, and had the
pleasure OF noting immediate bene-
fit. Soon all the members of the
household had pine shavings pillows,
and it was noticed that all coughs,
estimates or bronchial trouble
abated at once after sleeping a few
nights on these pillows. An invalid
suffering with lung trouble derived
mnch benefit from sleepiug upon a
mattress made from pine shavings.
The material is cheap and makes a
very pleasant and comfortable mat
sress, the odor of the pine permeating
the entire room and absorbing or
dispelling all unpleasant or objec-.
tionable odors. /

in her veins train Wreckers at work
three vile Jramps, who had al
ready placed across the track a hill
Of obstacles which would insure the.
destruction of any train which came
upon them in the darkness.
They worked by the light Of
lanterns, and she heard them chuck
ling in fendish glee.
Best get out OF the way now
said one, "and be seen at the tavern.
When we hear the whistles we'll help
good charitable souls that we are"
said another. ssThe IL o'clock ex-
press going north, will be delayed to-
night. !"
They laughed as they spoke, and
Maggie clapped her hands-the IL
O'Clock train was Owens.
The engineer is always the first
victim in a disaster The man who
was going to kill her would never
live to do it if this train met the
fate prepared for it. But Maggie
never thought of that. 1t was only
her dear Owen she remembered now
her loving husband, not the jeal-
Gus dark man from whom she had
fed.
If the tramps returned, her doom
was sealed; but that did not matter.
She covered her boy with a cloak
she had brought, and lighting a
match; peered at the little silver
watch she wore about her neck. The
train was due in halt an hour. What
should she do?
"Thank God for the candles,' she
said as she barred the door and went
out upon the road.
She would not waste her means.
She listened intently moments seem
ed hours-but at last she heard the
far away whistle. She knew how
fast the express train flew. She must
be prompt or her efforts would be in
vain,
How small the candle looked! The
train did not stop-they did not no
tice-a greater flame must be made.
She tore off her gown-the calico
would make a stronger blaze
tied the sleeve to branch she had
caught up and set it on fire. The
danger signal sounded; the train was
slowing.
"Thank God!' she cried, "Owen
has seen it; he has stopped!''
She fourished the flaming frag-
ments of her dress still more wildly,
and now people were running down
the track, and she was surrounded
by men who thanked her for their
lives, and amongst them Owen.
s'Maggie!'' he cried. ooh, good
heavens! how did you come here?'
: "God led me, think Owen, tosave
your life"
And Owen, looking into her noble
face, knew that he had been mad to
doubt her, and clasped her to his
heart.
Later, when she told him the story
of her kiss, jealousy died within his
soul forever, and he knelt repentant,
asking her forgiveness. Mary Kyle

Bringing Up Children.

It is as natural to a child to be
happy, as it is to a fish to swim.
But for this they need a certain
amount of letting alone" It is a
great mistake for parents to hamper
their children with foolish restric-
tions. We pity the little BIS, our
next door neighbours children from
the bottom OF our heart. There is a
picket fence in front of the house,
and they are scarcely allowed to go
near it, lest they should climb and
hurt themselves. They cannotclimb
a tree for the same reason. They
may not skate or swim, Or have a
gun. The consequence of this train
ing is that their parents have made
towards of them all. with the excep-
tion of little Bessie, who is the most
daring little mischief that ever wore
a sunbonnet, and she has learned to
be deceittul, and plays all her mad
pranks well out of sight OF her pa
rents eyes. We caught her the other
day walking the railing of bridge
that crossed the track of a railroad
a hundred feet below. The railing
was not a foot wide, and she tri-
umphantly told us that she walked
it while the train was passing under.
1t was enough to make one shudder.
Don't fancy your boy is made of
glass. Grant reasonable request,
and let him feel that when you re
fuse it is for his own good. Between
the Jellybys and the Gradgrinds of
life, children have a hard time of it.
The youngest child needs some sort
OF agreeable occupation, and a GER
tain amount Of physical freedom.
There is nothing more painful to
Young people than to feel that life is
one dull routine, and that nothing
ever happens, as we heard a discon-
ISOLATE lad remark.

THE BELLE OF THE SEASON.

AS in the garden oft ' ou've seen
Above the flowers that gem the glade,
One bloom that rears a stately crown,
Put other blossoms in the shade,
And seem within its lifted head;
lake of tinted gems to hold;
So art thou, maid, beyond the rest,
With beauty, ripe, majestic, bold.
At every ball, at every fete,
Where social harmony is rife.
Thine eyes are sought. thy beauty marked,
And in thy presence bright is life.
No care hast thou, or thought Of those,
The vanquished now, by most forgot;
The seasons queen, why shouldst thou know
How brief may be thy fated lot?
And SO we worship at thy shrine,
Bring tribute incense as we look,
A few short m onths, alack q day!
The bloom is gathered in the book.
Thou'rt married. maid, the seasons done,
Nay, little one, pray be not vexed,
For all the world will ask but this:
Who'll be the next, who'll be the next?

Disearding the Black Coat.

LSt. James budSetI
 The dudes of New York are determined altogether to reform the simple black-and- white of a modern gentlemen's evening dress, and the smart young Frenchman Is following their example. At recent din ner party at Nice all the men came rigged out for the admiration of the ladies in carna- tion swallow-tails. No doubt they believed that they presented az immensely distin- guihed appearance. This attempt 10 dises- tablish black and-white has been many times made anG has always come to grief. It's most ridiculous manifestation is the bit of red silk bulging on the white vest and the strip of red sock over the black pumps.
 These are fripperies, but they won't revolu- tionize society.
 But the whole fabric ot society will be at once upset and a new order of things will be- gin if a young man about town, before he | accepts an invitation to dance or dinner, is 1 to consider whether he has any clothes to ! wear; if he is to be deterred by the fear ! that his pea green pants have become tamll- l jar in the eye of his social circle, and by doubts whether the mauve coat which he 1 especially affects will harmonizs with the | gown of the young lady with whom he in- l tends to dance all the waitzes which she will 1 grant to him. Suppose that the costumes of l the loving pair do not harmonize. What | are they to do?As self-respecting members Of | society they can not cut bizarre figure to- | eether There will be nothing for it but to | sit out all the evening in a secluded and un- | lighted corner, and make up, if they can, by 1 the harmony of their souls for the discords of their toilettes. An even more disastrous effect of making mems dress more elaborate 1 and more expensive will be to further reduce the already diminished ranks of the dancing men.

BOA,t Toss the Baby. THarper's BaZar.

The throwing of baby into the air and
 catching him again is always a risky prac-
 tice, certain though the tosser may be of his
 quickness of eye and sureness of hand. A
 sudden and unexpected movement of the
 child in his mid-air flight may result in a
 cruel fall
 A gay young father snatched up his baby boy one morning and tossed him to the cell ing. Twice the little fellow went flying through the air and came down safely into the waiting arms. The third time the exci- ] ted child gave a spring of delight as his fathers hands released him, plunged forward and, pitching over the father's shoulders ! fell, head downward, to the floor. When the poor baby came out of the stupor in which | he lay for hours, it was found that, although no bones had been broken, the brain had ! sustained an injury that would, in all prob- ! ability render the child an imbecile. l Another buby snatched from the floor and | tossed into the air received fatal wound in ment of & chandelier. Still another child sliuped between her fathers hands as he caught her in her downward flight, and al- though his frepzed grasp on the baby arm saved her from falling to the ground, it
 wrenched muscles and sinews cruelty
 that the girls arm was shrunken and prac-
 tically useless to her all her life. These are
 extreme cases but the fact of their occur
 ring at all should be enough to warn one

JAPAN,s NEW CONSTITUTION.

JAPAN,S NEW CONSTITUTION. The new constitution of Japan, which WAS lately proclaimed, is @ very interesting docu- ment, prepared after careful study of the political systems of Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States. It provides to begin with that s'The empire of Japan shall be reigned over and governed by line of emperors unbroken for ages eternal" A Diet is to be formed, with which the emperor will share legislative powers. When the Diet is not sitting the emperor will issue im- perial ordinances in place of law, though even
 in great emergencies these ordinances are not
 to conflict with existing law. The executive
 authority of war, peace, treaties, command of
 the army and navy, bestowal of amnesty,
 pardon, titles of nobility, etc., belong to the
 emperer.
 The Diet is to consist of 8 house of peers
 composed of elective, hereditay and nomi-
 mated members and house of representa-
 lives chosen in the cities and prefeetures by
 male electors thirty years old and paying $15
 yearly tax. The voter must write on his bal
 lot his own name and the name of the person
 voted for, and minutes of voting at every
 poll must be kept. The directions for voting
 are numerous and minute and apparently
 most difficulties likely to arise have been
 provided for. The Diet will be convoked an-
 nually and will sit three months. When or-
 dered to dissolve new election will be held
 and convocation take place within five
 months. One-third of the members present forms quorum. The house of representa- tives will number about three hundred mem-
 bers, or one to every 125, 900 inhabitants, or about one to every 2,000 possible voters. The deliberations of both houses will be public, and the ministers have a seat and right to speak on the floor. The present Ministry of State and Privy Council will remain. The administration or justice will be public and l in the name of the emperor, but the courts l are to be organized according to law and the l judges are not to be removed except by way I of criminal sentence or disciplinary punish. ment.
 Japan is very progressive country. The 1 new constitution will test it's power to change ! pretty thoroughly. How it will work cannot
 of course, be predicted, but it is consistent and comprehensive

An Asylum fer Liars.

 Last week, at dinner party given by 8 very popular gentleman of this city, who is exceedingly fond of field sports, and whose astonishing success with the breech-loader is matter of wonder to his friends. one of the guests told the following story:
 S'I was up in Maine not long since, and having my attention called to handsome building in the suburbs of the town where I had to remain few days, friend informed me that it wss an asylum for liars, and that the superintendent was an obliging gentleman who would be glad to inform me of the plan upon which the institution was conducted.
 q called at once and was politely shown through. In one of the wards where there were half dozen respectable looking gen- tlemen, all reading newspapers, my atten- tion was attracted by a conversation which arose between two of them.
 "I see,' said one, dropping his paper, that there has been 8 good fish season in the upper Kennebec, and that reminds me of a forty pound trout that caught there last spring
 " oh, no; you are mistaken. It could not have weighed forty pounds remarked an- other who only looked up from his journal.
 - reckOn l know what am saying, r6- turned the first. I had an awful time with that fish. I broke a fine split bamboo rod and nearly ruined Kentucky reel, but fin ally landed him, and 1 saw him weighed. He pulled down exactly forty pounds.
 [" You are mistaken persisted the other know you are, because nearly five years ago the Legislature of Maine passed law requiring holes to be bored in the upper Kennsbec, so that all fish under fifty pounds should drop through, and for the last four years at least 1t has been impossible for for ty-pound fish to remain thsre' |" That's not so, said the first; because if the holes were there the water would all run out'
 "Ah," retorted the second, 'but the same Legislature passed law that the water should not go through the holes.' "This seemed to satisfy the first speaker for he gave up the subject and resumed his reading.
 "When he left the ward the superintend- ant said: Now, sir, that is fair illustra- ton of our method of trsatment. The man who claimed to have caught the forty- pound trout is patient, an amateur liar, and the other one is an attendant, a regular professional liar. The professional alway 6
 gets away with the amateur, until finally the amateur grows tired of being beaten and gives up. We then discharge him as practi- cally cured.
 'I thanked the superintendent for his kindness" eaid the narrator, land suggested to him that if 8 first class professional hunting liar, truly picturesque shotgun | liar, would be of use to him, he might find one in my friend, Judge Dick Jones, who is giving this dinner"
 Judge Jones enjoyed it quite as much as l shot, and never fails to bring home the feathers

A Fox Drive in Illinois,

Peoria Qll) Dispatch to the St. Louis Republic | The fox drive south of this city to-day was one of the most exciting and successful l ever held in central Illinois. The weather
 was all that could have been desired, and
 ca rIy in the morning the interest in the com-
 ing chase became manifest by the unusual
 stir on the streets.
 The lines for the drive commenced form ing abont nine o'clock at point one and one-half miles southeast of this city, ex tending four miles east and four miles south from that point, thus surrounding sixteen sections of land covered with heavy growth of timber end underbrush. The north line was commanded by Houston Smith. the east l by E. T. Miller, the south by Editor Carr ] and the west by Louis Jehle. The lines were \ all in splendid shape and in good command, l and shortly after ten o'clock were on the l move.
 1 The north line was the first to start fox a and from that line three in all were started One was started in from the west line and 1 one from the south. These five were all large red foxes. Near the roundup large gray wolf and gray fox were started, but l they broke through the east line and escaped The round-up was in a twenty acre meadow
 The south line having the toughest ground a ro traverse, was somewhat slow coming ir
