Makes no difference, he's got to ride

the old man. The preacher, meek,
and with a timid air, came out of the
house and inquired of Jim which
horse he was to ride. This one, said
Jim. '.He looks pretty bad, but I
reckon he'll be all right when you get
on him. Come on, fellers, and help
me lift him on" The men, with many
winks and sly chuckles, came forward
and with great difficulty succeeded in
seating the preacher in the saddle.

INTERESTING CULLINGS.


Bullets.
Every bullet has its billet saws
the old soldier, when counseling the
recruit to take comfort in the merciful
chances or war. The ways of bullets.
when they seem actually to have re-
ceived commission to strike, are often
very eccentric and whimsical An
army surgeon who was in the habit of
carrying in his breast pocket little
sketch book, says that he has cause to
owe it special debt of gratitude.
The book itself is ready to tell us
why, for it is pierced through three
parts Of its thickness with two dis
tinct bullet holes. About fifteen or
twenty sketches were thus sacrificed.
but the doctors life had, at the same
time been saved.
The life OF war correspondent Of
The London Telegraph was also saved
by such shield. A curious fact con-
nected with this experience was that
the bullet had revolved in its course,
after reaching the notebook, so that
its track was q circular one.
Several cases of the eccentricities OF
bullets have been given by Irving
Montagu in "Wanderings Of q War
Artist" He declares that he has known
bullets to flatten round bone, as if
the bone, having been broken, was
now joined together by the plant lead.
In another case, the bullet went six
times in and outof skirmisher's body
without doing him any serious harm.
Kneeling as he fired, the ball had first
passed in and out of one arm, had ira
versed the ribs, entering one side and
making its exit at the other, and fin
ished its erratic course by entering and
finally taking its departure from the
other arm of that curiously perforated
soldier.
A bullet has been fred through
thick plate glass, and, hitting against
wall few into particles which be-
spattered q mans face without serious
y injuring him.
A counter instance, however, is
that Of q spent cannon ball, which
went dancing like q plaything toward
little child In impulsive playful
ness, she ran to catch it, and was
crushed to death by its fall-Youth's

PLUCKY HERBERT WARD.
Incidents OF the Explorers Travels
the Congo Country.

Incidents OF tho Explorers Travels In
the Congo Country.
Herbert Ward, tho explorer, is but
twenty-six years Of ago, small and COM
pactly built-what one might call
pocket edition of Hercules. His eyes
are blue and expressive, his manner
modest and retiring, and it is only when
his face lights up in the discussion OF
some interesting topic that one may see
the reserve force and character that
have carried him through all his trials.
Mr.. Ward is an Englishman of wealthy
narents. He had natural fondness for
adventure, and, as his parents refused
their consent, he ran away to sea.
New Zealand was the first point reach
ed and soon after he went to Australia
In Borneo he met Hatton, the famous
Bornese explorer, and it was not long
before the two were in the country OF
the head-hunting Dyaks.
Surrounded by a high stockade he
could see and hear the Dyaks prowling
about and often he had narrow escapes
from poisoned arrows that were con-
stantly being shot into the stockade.
AT Bangalia, where Stanley had his
most serious fight with the natives In
mis- memorable journey across the Dark
Continent, Ward was finally put in
charge of the station which had just
been established there. The Bangalas
are largo and powerful tribe, and, in
addition to being highly savage and fe-
rocious, are cannibals. They do not,
however, eat people of their own tribe,
but depend for this sort Of luxury upon
such captives as they can secure, or,
failing in this, they purchase slaves
from friendly tribes.
This important tribe was governed at
this time by a powerful savage, Mata
Bwiki by same. At the commencement
of his command of this station Mr.. Ward
was forced to undergo the "blood broth
erhood ceremony" in conjunction with
tho chief. This ceremony, said Mr.
Ward, is common throughout Africa
An incision Is made in the arm of each
of the two participators in it. When
the blood flows the wounds are sprinkled
with potash, salt, and powder made
from species of bran. Then the two
incised arms are rubbed together, SC
that the flowing blood may intermingle
This done, the two become blood broth
ers and both swear to assist each Other
In times of need. At the end of his
three years of service Mr.. Ward started
for tho coast. On reaching Stanley Poo
he heard about the Emin Pasha RELIEF
expedition and that Stanley was coming

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


"A strong solution Of alum, to which
has been added q little glycerine and
vinegar, is cure for mosquito bites.
The repeated application OF oil and
cinnamon will cause those ugly excres-
cencos--warts-to disappear. Rubbing
them with salt is also recommended.
When the skin is bruised it may be
prevented from becoming discolored by
using little dry starch or arrowroot,
merely moistened with cold water, and
placed on the injured part. This should
be done at once.
--,fhs physician is frequently asked
by lady patients for some thing that will
remove freckles. A writer in tho Pharm.
Zeit, says that wash consisting OF
equal parts of Tactic acid and glycerine
will do the work, and is harmless when
applied to the skim.
-vaseline is growing in favor as an
emollient for shoes. Take pair OF
shoes, especially the shoes worn by
ladies, and when they become hard and
rusty, apply coating of vaseline, rub
bing we'll with cloth, and the leather
and almost impervious to water.
"A bottle OF the solution made by
boiling two ounces Of gum camphor In q
pint of water is valuable toilet ad-
iunct. 1t will remove stains from the
hands, makes an excellent hair-wash,
adds to the luxury of bath, and few
drops on the toothbrush, when tho teeth
are brushed, will keep the teeth white
and clean.
Tho custom OF taking cold bath
every morning is said to insure the sys-
tenn against taking cold with the ever
changing temperature Of our most vari-
able climate, and for tendency to
chronic sore throat there is no better
remedy than bathing the throat and
chest every morning with cold water,
Immediately following it with brisk
rubbing until a pleasant glow is felt
Country Gentleman.
Next to bathing, which is an essential
to good, clear complexion, is to keep
the system in good order, and to this the
diet is to be directed. The food should
always be digestible, we'll cooked and
plain. Fruit, vegetables, oat-meal and
good deal Of molasses or syrup should
be eaten as candy, If not agreeable
otherwise. Children who have eaten
molasses instead Of butter all their
lives, grow up with lovely, clear COM
plexions. Indeed, there are many wom-
en- who would as soon eat poison as but
ter.-The Home.
"A writer on hygiene says that the
common use of soda to correct acidity of
the stomach is an error. Acounter acid
is safer corrective than alkali. little
lemon or lime juice, properly used, will
remedy the trouble as often as any thing
In some cases very little sugar, occa-
sionally, alternated with cold water, Is
found effective. Sometimes hot water Is
the best thing. Sometimes nothing is so
good as external warmth applied over
the stomach. Lemon juice before meals
will be very advantageous as preventive
to heartburn. Acids, as a rule, decrease
the acid secretion of the body and in
crease the alkaline. When acid is given
for tho relief of dyspepsia it should be
taken before eating.

Fact aud Fancy,
When ono is fatigped and foot sors
from much walking, it is very refresh-
,ng to bathe the feet in warm water and
rub them with extract of arnica.
Rub black walnut furniture, or any
wood finished in oil, with cloth slightly
moistened with kerosene oil, to remove
scratches and restore polish.
A round piece cut from worn-ont CASH
mere hose, and cat-stisched to the wrong
side of the knee of children's hose with
strong cotton, will strengthen them
greatly.
A wash OF equal parts of glycerine and
Tactic acid will remove moth and freckles
from the face.
The mending of kid gloves shows far
less If done with cotton thread than 1t
docs if done with silk.
Iron and polished steel when not in
use, may be kept from rusting by wiping
with a cloth on which little kerosene
has been poured
Grease spots, if old, may be removed
from books by applying solution OF
varying strength Of caustic potash upon
the back OF the leaf. The printing,
which looks somewhat faded after the
removal of the spot, may be freshened
by the application OF mixture OF one
part of muriatic acid and twenty-five
parts Of water.
The light in slecpingrooms should
never fall directly on the eyes, nor
should the rooms be either too dark or
too light.
Itshould be borne in mind that head
ache may arise from internal eye
troubles, and all cases which resist we'll
directed medication should be sent to an
oculist for examination.
Kerosene poured on red flannel and
bound on the throat will greatly ease a
sore throat. 1t will also heal cuts and
cure chilblains.
The council OF Hygiene in Paris. it is
said. is about to take steps to suppress
the use of old magazines and newspapers
for wrapping MP foods. The Austrian
government has prohibited the use OF
such papers, and also of colored papers
TO enclose articles intended to be eaten.
In bottling catchup or pickles, boil
the corlls, and while hot you can press
them into the bottles. and when cold
they are tightly sealed. Use the tin
foil from compressed yeast to cover the
corks.
There should be a small table about
the height OF the range or stove for use
aD resting-placo for utensils when om-
elets, griddle cakes etc, are made. 1t
should be covered with zinc.
To remove rust from steel, rub with
kerosene, and soak for day, polishing
with emery dust and kerosene.
Nothing so quickly restores tone to ex-
hausted nerves and strength to weary
