Nature rs a Temperance Lecturer.

There is a secluded vale in Southern
California called Jim-Jam Valley, be-
cause the wonderful mirages of the
Mojava Desert produce such frightful
effects in the air. 1t requires man Of
great nerve to pass through the valley
alone. He sees dimly outlined forms
monsters and hobgoblins mingling in .
pandemonium-like dance. Pallid faces
shift and change before ones eyes, and
forked lightning blazes about, illumin-
ating strange, uncouth animals. We
don't see what use California has for q
cure for inebriates with that valley
within easy reach. When a man given
to sprees starts out on his favorite re-
creation, let his friends ship him at once
to Jim-Jam Valley, and he will let up.
1t might be employed as q school of
warning to young men who are disposed
to toy with the alluring but destructive
bowl. One trip through the valley.
which is said to be q stretch of about
fifteen miles, upholstered with the
most ingenious horrors and fitted mp
with the latest improved apparatus in
troduced in delirium- tremens, ought to
be sufficient to make the most reckless
youth total abstainer for lte.-Texas

There are Dogs and Dogs.

Indeed 1 do said Athelwald, speak
ing in low, earnest tones, as a man com.
muning with his own thoughts. Yes,
l do love dogs. In fact, wherever &C
l am fond of them. But 1 like shy,
coy, shrinking dog, who HES away to
the dim and shadowy recesses of the
outrageous woodshed when he hears
the football of the stranger, and can only
be won to sociability and intimacy by
love and kindness and patient pleading.
l like not and cannot learn to love the
bold, forward mass of canine insolence
and pert obtrusiveness that comes
sneaking out from behind the lilac bush
when one is half way between the gate
and piazza, and nestles up to stranger
with all the easy freedom of an old ac-
quaintance, and drags one all over the
lawn backward, with no thought Of
ones comfort or dignity" and with Q
dry, convulsive sob that died away in
his throat he walked bitterly toward the
gents furnishing department, and the
old bookkeeper noticed with SORROW,
not unmixed with grief, as the young
man turned away, that his fawn-colored
trousers had been deity repaired in the
postern gate with irregular patchwork
Of olive green in two shades.-RObt. j.

ave haven't time for that We would
and get them IT, turn off all the city

would take too long, and it would burn
out every switchboard on the circuit.
But l can give Won all the cell currents

before he recovered. When you're
ready Just call at the Office. Ground
your current and I'll send it along on
the big wire"
Seems to take lot of telegraphing
to stop train, said the desperate, uE-
easily.
1t does. You see, the train is be-
hind time and they don't want her to
stop. l told them there was a special
that would pass here. They want to
know all the particulars. Now I'll have
to move about bit. / must cut off the
wire TO Center City. II l don't they
may telegraph to the dispatcher's Office
about that special and then it would t
all up with us.
That's right; go ahead
We'll, don't let that revolver go off"
at never goes off till l tell it to, and
then its sure DEATH As long as you
act square it won't go off"
The telegrapher went to a drawA
and took out piece of wire, and to one
end attached pair of scissors. The
other end he connected with the big
wire from Bloomville. He fused
around the switchboard, and then took
pail of water and said: Look out for
your feet. l must damp down the floor,
so that there will be no dust to inter
fere with the instruments"
Water won't hurt anything outside of
me-" said the man; I'D hate to try it
inside, though
Having wet the floor the operator
sat down to his table again. "Klick-a-
Kick" went the instrument. Next in
slant there was binding flash of
grecnish light in the room. The man
started to his feet.
"Thunder!" he cried. Whats that? 2"
You struck it the first time. Thun-
der somewhere. I'm afraid it will in
terfere with us. But can fix it. Hand
me that screw-driver, quick
The screw-driver was handed, but all
the time the pistol covered him. The
visitor was not man to be taken off
his guard. Warner worked with the
moment and then said,
sharply: Gimme them scissors. Hurry
up
The outlaw reached for the scissors,
and the next instant he sprang with
yell toward the ceiling and fell in a
heap on the floor.
Throw up your hands you villain!"
cried Warner, pointing his own pistol
at him. The whole gang were induced
to return to Bloomyille with the sheriff
shortly after.

Origin Of Wedding Tours.

The origin of the wedding trip is en-
tirely unknown. As to it we can only
be sure of one thing-the wedding trip
originated among civilized or semi
civilized nations and not among bar
barians.
Custom now requires that a newly
married pair should fly from their
friends and seek the seclusion of cot
tage by the sea, or the more acute lone
illness of hotel crowded with strangers.
Exception is sometimes made in behalf
of husband and wife who are advanced
in years, or who, by long continued
habit, have become accustomed to I'M
dergoing marriage, and look upon TAX
ing for the third or fourth time the vows
of matrimony with the Indifference with
which veteran traveller, landing in
New York, swears his way through the
custom-hOuse. But to young people no
social mercy IS shown. They must I'M
dergO their wedding trip, no matter how
much or how justly they may dread it.
Our barbarous ancestors regarded
or sale or of robbery. In neither case
did the successful husband feel called
upon to hide himself Having bought
an eligible wife, or having picked up
cheap wife at a bargain, he no more
thought of carrying her off to some Sc
cluded place and concealing himself and
his purchase for month that the fortu-
nate buyer of fine picture or good
table bought for song at an auction
thinks ofhiding the evidence of his good
fortune and discernment. Neither did
the cave-dweller, who probably knocked
down his beloved with a club, and,
throwing her over his shoulder, carried
her to his private cave, think of flying
with her to some large and fashionable
seaside cave and spending three or four
weeks with her in the darkness of the
stuffv and stalagmite strewn bridal
chamber. On the contrary, he was
proud of his prOwess, and on the morn
ing after his marriage exhibited his new
wife with her head covered with stick
ing plaster, and casually remarked to
his friends that although he had mar
ried number of wives this particular
one had the thickest skull he had ever
cracked. Such is to this very day the
custom in the best circles of native Aus
tralian society, and scientific persons
are of the opinion that the Australians
are the Oldest now on the planet.-Once
