The New York Worlds Christmas
prize of 500 for the best description
of a model husband was awarded to a
Brooklyn woman, who wrote the fol-
lowing letter. The judges, Mrs. Roger
A. Pryor, Mrs. Chauncey NJ. Depew
and Mrs. William C. Whitney, after
careful examination, unanimously de-
cided in favor of this model: "Free
from all manly (f) vices, personally
clean and orderly, into our utmost pri-
vacy he brings the tender courtesies of
a gentleman. Our home-making is a
delightful partnership, one supplement
ing the other with every assistance, he
always c~onsiderate of the woman's
responsibilities, but leaving at his
office the annoyances of a business
man. In sickness or health there is
always the responsive throb Of a single
interest. Perfect love casteth out fear,
and our freedom of speech and action
leaves no occasion for any petty tricks
of deception, alas! so common. Above
this is his high ideal of woman that
helps me produce something better
than before recognized in myself. Re-
ceptive to my aspirations, no new
thought or culture is attempted but
meets his approval aad encouragement,
while a noble spiritual atmosphere
lifts my daily life from a common rou-
tine into a loving pleasure. Taking

A Water Tricycle..

There has lately appeared in Mar
settles, France, a machine of the yelo-
clpede type that can be used either on
h land or on the water, as the rider
may desire. The mechanism is very
simple ana looks very much like that
OF an ordinary tricycle. whose wheels
are formed of two iron plates placed
opposite each other and held in place
by cross bars. The wheels are crooy-
ed on their circumference and have n
thick rubber band tor use on the roads.
For use on the water the wheels have
on their periphery a dozen little con
per paddles similar to those on the
wheels of a side wheel steamer. The
machine is capable of high speed
ashore, and afoat it has made nearly
three miles an hour with no greater ex-
ertion than is needed for a tricycle. on
good road. Its stability is remarka-
BILE, and its efficiency in rescuing peo-
pie in the water has been fully demon
strated. A man has chung to it while
In the water, and has been carried
along without upsetting the machine,
Two men have been kept a1oat by de-
pending entirely upon its ~buoyancy.
Experiments, so far, have been sniff
GENTLY successful to warrant a greater
perfection OF the machine. Air tirbt
compartments are to be added. the
paddles enlarged and the wheels made
lighter. In this AM it is fully ex-
pected to increase the speed in calm
water by Is per cent. In rough water
this excellent showing is naturally not
to be expected, although it still re-
mains true that it can take one person
easily on the dry land or in the water.

little taper, and with it he lighted the
great lamps that stood ready there
with their polished %reflectors behind
them. And soon they were burning,
steady and clear, throwing a great
strong beam of light across the sea.
By this time the lighthouse man had
blown out the little taper and laid it
aside.
But it had done its work. Though
its W light had been so small. it had
been the mean of kindling the great
lights in the top of the lighthouse !;
and these were now shining brightly
over the sea so that ships far out
knew by it where they were, and guild
ed safely into the harbor.-United

Slept in Months.
AN ILLINOIS GIRLA PUZZLE TO ALL THE
DOCTORS.

Miss Grace Gradley, who awoke d
day OF two ago after being in Il trance
for about nine months, seems to be in
good health, having lost but little flesh,
but she cannot converse, the power OF
articulation having left her. She an
swers III unmeaning cultural tones.
About nine months ago Amboy, Hi
n'ls, experienced a great religious
awakening. The entire community
became enthused and the meetings
were very largely attended. Among
the most enthusiastic attendants was
Miss Gradley, a handsome young lady
of Is years. One night she returned
from a meeting in a high state of ex-
citement and went to bed in the same
state of mind, although otherwise In
perfect health. The next day she
could not be aroused from deep sleep
into which she had fallen. Doctors
were called in and all known remedies
applied to no effect. The girl kept on,
day after day, never once waking nor
even rousing up. Her eyes were tight
~ closed and her cheeks flushed, while
her lips were parted in a half smile.
1t seemed as if she we're about to wake
at any moment, but her sleep was
utterly profound. She took nourish-
ment i'll a liquid form from a spoon,
the act of swallowing being perfectly
natural. The case attracted physicians
from all over the country and the con-
clusion on their part was that the re-
ligious excitement had mentally over
taxed the girl in an abnormal manner,
producing absolute suspension of mind
activity.-Kansas City Star.

How Timothy Grass Was Named.

Timothy or herb grass is the most
common grass of Continental Europe
growing wild throughout all that vast
region between the Mediterranean sea
on the south and the North sea in the
direction the name implies. 1t is not
known exactly when it was first intro
duced into the United States, but this
much is known: 1t takes the name
from Timothy Hanson, a farmer of
Maryland, who brought it under gen.
eral notice as a hay grass after he had
cultivated it extensively for his use for
years. 1t is a curious fact that al
though Its native home is in Europe,
the United States is the first country in
which it was grown, cut and cured for
hay.-American Gardener.

Value Of the Thermometer.

Although the thermometer has its
widest sphere of application in fevers,
yet it renders valuable aid in diagnos-
ing other forms of disease. 1t aids us
in differentiating functional from or
ganic troubles and real from feigned
diseases. 1t tells whether the increas-
ed heart action is due to fever or ex-
haustion: that sweating, not preceded
by fever. is the result of exhaustion
and not the cause of it. In many in
stances it would be difficult to tell hys-
terical troubles Stimulating organic dis
ease from true organic trouble,
without the aid of the thermometer.
1t may be worthy of note that the de-
position of tubercle, whether in the
lungs OF in other organs, is always ac-
~cOmpanied by an elevation of tempera
rure. In cancerous infiltration, on
the contrary, there is no increase in
the temperature.
The THERMOMETERS is the only reliable
means of determining the presence or
absence ~offever. Often the hands and
feet will feel cold, the nose pinched.
and at the same time a high grade of
fever be present. Ignorance of this
fact may lead one into the mistake an
old physician of my acGuaintancemade
in acase. He claims to be able to tell
all about his cases without the aid of
Instruments. He came to the case in
question. seized the patients hand,
and said Temperature normal. Not a
bit of fever" took the temperature
with my thermometer, and found it
nearly n hundred and four degrees.
Such mistakes are unnecessary and re-
prehensible, and when instruments of
precision are obtainable neglect to use
them shOulG not be tolerated.-House-
keepers Weekly.

Postmaster General Wanamaker in the

-Wanamaker held over issued shares of
the Banks stock, knowing it to be an
over issue, and still demanded 100000
before he would surrender the stock, and
only surrendered it under threats of pros
ecution. Wanamaker awears that he
didn't use the stock after he was inform.
ed it was an over issue. IF he is an in.
nocent man he proves his innocence very
slowly and unsatisfactory. It is not
doubted that the present Postmaster
General bought his position in the Cabi.
net by his liberal subscriptions to the
Republican corruption fund. His game
is transparent. He has been making
some of his Philadelphia friends help to
pay for his position in the Cabinet. When
Attorney General Garland. Of Cleveland'a
cabinet, was discovered to have in his
possession stock in the Bell telephone, it
was thought by the Republican press Of
the country to indicate piece of great
rascality aud corruption. His removal
was howled for. John Wanamaker's case
is by far the worse of the two, and Presi-
dent Harrison would do credit to his ad.

July Report Of the Department Of Ag-
rIculture.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 10.-The
returns to the department of agriculture
show some improvement in cotton con-
dition during the month Of June. The
general average for the whole belt has
advanced three points, standing at sS.6.
This is three points below the July re-
turns of last year and one above that of
1889. In but four seasons since 1874
have the July returns been so low. The
slight improvement noted has been quite
general throughout the whole belt, the
result of favorable weather during the
month. The crop Is universally late,
ranging locally from few days to two
weeks or more. In the Atlantic and
eastern gulf States especially the plant is
small and backward and want of suitable
weather for chopping out has made the
growth very slow. termination WAS very
imperfect, and replanting failed to secure
perfect stands. Luckily, considerable
areas have been plowed up and given to
other crops or abandoned entirely. From
the Mississippi backward, while the plant
is backward, it is of good color and
growth. While plantations running q
sufficient number of plows are reasonably
clean, there is some lack of labor.
The outlook in Texas is especially
good. The fields are we'll worked and
fruiting has begun. Worms are reported
from but two counties, both of Texas, not
even the invasion of the first brood being
noted anywhere else. The returns Of
condition by State5 are as follows:

Four murderers were put to death at
Sing Sing prison. New York. by electric

IS Four murderers were put to death at
Sing Sing prison, New York, by electric
Ssity hast week. II was done successfully,
and more skillfully than in the case of
5Kembler some months ago. Electrocu-
! stion seems to be a happy solution of the
manner of taking off condemned crimi-
mails. There are many who object to
Z hanging man because it seems cruel
snd inhnman. Electricity offers meth
God that is free from the revolving scenes
connected with tying rope around 8
! mans neck, knocking trap from under
his feet, and leaving him dangling in the
ffSair for quarter or half an hour until
she strangles to dea tn or dies from bro.
s ken neck. We are not sentimental on
the subject, however. If man has
been adjudged worthy of death we care
very little whether he meets his end by
the rope or electricity. We hope the
aversion felt By some to taking human
life at all will be lesseued by the adoption
of what may seem the most becoming
way of executing a man, for the abolition
of capital punishment would be rather
placing g premium on the commission of
! certain crimes. But some of our juries
seem afraid to condemn to death man
notoriously deserving Of death, as witness
the:case Of John @. Ferguson in Abbe-
yiIls 8 few years since, and the case of
PRESLEY, of Edge6eld, just recently re-
ported,
