Noah's I'ra, er over Adam.

Below is given the prayer offered
daily by Noah over the body OF
Adam during the time the flood
lasted. II is from the Fabricious
collection of Apocrypha of the Old
Testament:
SO Lord, thou art excellent in
truth, and nothing is great beside
thee; look upon US in mercy; de
liver us from this deluge of waters
for the sake of the pangs of Adam,
the first whom tlou didst make; for
the. sake of the blood of Abel, the
holy one; for the sake OF just Seth,
in whom thou didst delight: num-
Der us not among those who have
broken thy commandments, but
cover us with thy protection, for
thou art our deliverer, and to thee
alone arc duo the praises uttered by
the works of thy hands from all
eternity" And all the children OF
Noah responded, "Amen, o Lord. .

A Cure for Wnrls.

/ have always had warts on my
hands ever since was boy, writes
a correspondent, and have tried a
thousand remedies for them, includ
ing all the charms known to the
country. The only. thing that
would suppress them even tcmpora
rily was red hot rccdlc. Some
body told me about it ten or fifteen
yeas ago, bnt never tried it for a
long time, dreading the pain. Al
last i had ii big wart on the knuckle
of my left forcfinger, where was
always knocking it against some
thing and keeping it raw and sore.
determined to try the hot needle.
So | had IL large needle fixed in an
awl handle, heated it red hot in the
flame of lamp and thrust it
through the big wart Mt one punch.
The pain was no greater than had
been enduring from striking the
wart against everything / touched,
and after the needle mad cooled /
took it out The wart began To dry
up, and in three or four days
picked it Off with my thumb nail.
Since then, whenever one makes It's
appearance ! take needle to it, and
the remedy never fails.

The Broon.Corn D.sirIc,.

Coles and Douglas counties, in
Illinois, produce halt the broom
corn grown in the United States.
The soil of these counties, which is
strong quick and rich, is well adapt
ed for the culture OF the brush.
Fifty years ago the territory en-
braced by the two counties was a
great swamp, full of large ponds
and was called "sockem" lands.
Just what "sockcm" means in this
connection nobody seems to know.
In later years the ponds were drain
ed by means of large open bitches
and miles of drain tile. This drain
age left an almost inexhaustibIc soil.
Broom corn is supposed to exhaust
soil more than any vegetable that
grows in that climate, but there is
field near Bushton, in Coles county,
owned by 1. w. Sain, that this year
produced its forty y-ninth consecutive
crop of broom corn.

A sallow-faced woman, with a
wealth of freekles on her long nose,
entered an Austin street-car.,,-
There were eight or ten weIl-dress-

of them showed any inclination TO
give her seat. After she waited
a reasonable time, she remarked
with asperity:

How women Kim Flowers.

Ii is a peculiar fact that some
women kill flowers within twenty
minutes after they are adjusted 10
the corsage. Others will wear them
for hours and they will look as fresh
as when they were first pinned on.
A florist said: sWomcn wear flow
ers sometimes because they are vain,
not because they love them. Flow
crs are alive and it chills them to
lay near the heart that has no love
for them. They droop and mourn
themselves to death, because they
know there IS nothing in common
between them and the wearer.
They are like little children they
love those who love them, and their
best. brightest beauty is given to the
woman who pins The bouquet ON
through her love for the flowers.
y physician said: sscertainly some
Women can Kin flowers within 4
very few minutes. Itis sure in
dication that poisonous vapor is
escaping from the body to great
degree. II may be the result of
disease, or it may be that bathing
aud proper care of the skin are
neglected The body that is kept
in wholesome cleanliness will give
new life to the flowers. A magnet
ic strength is carried from the wear
er to the flower, and long after the
woman is weary withan afternoons
shopping or calling the flowers will
smile back at her with her own
strength. She gives liic to the flow
ers through the sweetness of her
own body. There is such differ
enee in women about the care of
the person. Some OF our best dress
ed and wealthiest ladies are the
most negligent Tney seem 10 have
no pride. There is nothing more
discernable than this disregard.
They are either ignorant or uncon-
scious of this fact, or else they are
without the pride that should go
with intelligence. Flowers cannot
live in the poisonous vapor and they
bstray the secret of invisible neglect
by soon Dropping"

A New Snbmnrime Vessel.

1t is expected that submarine
vessel, invented by a young Italian
engineer named BaIsamillo, will,
when perfected, solve the problem
of submarine navigation.
The machinery of the new craft
will propsl and steer her with case,
as well also as sink her below or
raise her to the surface.
She will be fitted with lenses by
which she may be steered, and by
which articles may be seen which
it is desirable to bring to the sur
face. Both on the surface and un-
der it she can be steered in a
straight line or turned with the
greatest ease.

The last hope of the Republicans
for making even a decent show in
the presidential fight in 80, lies
with Blaine and reciprocity. There
is not shadow for them otherwise.
If little Mr.. Harrison, who by the
way, is not in it at all, should at
tempt to head off the Blaine boom,
it will simply be the means of scat
tering the little remnant of syco-
phantie followers who are hanging
onto the pap to be gotten from the
connection with the president. But
even Blaine is forIorn hope.

little frequented by man-that lying be-
meath the surface of the Mediterranean
and has gained a larger experience of a
subaqueous existence than any other per-
son has enjoyed. After a short time his
diving dress became not at all disagreeable,
though he found it advisable not to con-
tinue a "dive" beyond about a quarter of
an hour. He found a charm in the un-
familiar sights in the sea, and was able to
make unexpectedly good natural history

He declares that the notion of walking
upright is a false one, as it is necessary to
incline the body forward at least 45 dogs.

After "Jim Crax

EDITOR TRIBUNE: The communication
of Jim Crax" is worthy of a wide circula-
ton. 1t should be repeated daily for all
time. 1t is so like a man sticking his head
in a barrel and yelling, that the sound of
his W voice may return to delight his
own ears. Why did not "Jim Crax" tell
the news? He is a reader of the TRIBUNE.
He sees communications from all parts of
the county and state. He does not add one
item Of news, but says the TRIBUNE is dry.
If "Jim Crax" knows anything new why
did he not tell it?
II anti .ringster tell us aboutthe independ-
ent movement-the combine between GER
tain county officials to reinstate themselves
and the disgruntled partisans of the
democratic and republican parties to be-
tray both organizations and work the city
and county that they may control the fod-
der and feed it out to the cattle that they
place in the public crib, or that pasture on
the county. Or why don't "Jim Crax" tell
how delegates from The state democratic
and republican conventions, where they
made platforms and nominated can
didates, can return to their constituents
and attempt to betray both organizations
by star chamber night bargains. How
can a half dozen men who have fed at the
county crib for years, and two or three Of
their hackers make a slate, and fearing
the people at large dare not give the COM
bine away except by a whisper. How can
a Cleveland man of a year or two ago
change, when refused a nationalsappoint-
ment, to a Harrison NAHUM independent
for a county office, then seek reinstate-
ment by intrigue with republican and
democratic delegates fresh from the state
conventions and ever blooming candidates
who try to play both parties for office and
Doodle. If Jim Crax means business let
him tell the newS-give some snap away

Two Johns in the Bible.

A man at city hall, who is connected
with the lamp department, has sometimes
to turn out at daylight and make visits to
different parts of the city to see for himself
how his subordinates care for the city's
lighting.
Sunday morning at 4 o'clock his mission
took him into some of the alleyways of the
West End. Going into one of these mar
row passages near Joy street he found two
venerable colored brethren in the heat of
discussion. An open Bible lay in the lap
Of one of them and the intruder heard him
thus discourse: "Yos wrong, Rastus, an de
