Nov, said the doctor, there is only
one thing that you must have; that is
absence of worry, absence of care, and

What is that?"

ence of Little Insect.
"N bug in his ear" is a figure very eX-
tensjyeIy used in common conversation,
says the Mexico MO- nteltigencer. But,
reader. did you ever have a bug in your
ear in fact? If not, you have no idea
how it feels. B. F. Tomlinson, who ex
perenced the sensation last week. says
he never suffered such torture in his life.
The bug crawled into his ear while he
was lying i'll bed asleep between II and
II clock one night.
1t was only a common candlebug or
fly. but the degree of torture one of them
can iuflct while in the ear is beyond the
scope of the imagination. Mr.. Tomln-
son said that when he awoke he dreamed
that a railway train had jumped the
track. struck him in the ear. and was
ploughing its way through his head. The
train kept going, but it seemed that 1t
never would get through Occasionally
it would stop and then start again with
renewed force. Then again the train
seemed to be at a standstill, but the
wheels would be turning with lightning
rapdity.
The train would move off gradually
with grating noise and would not stop
till the whistle blew for the next station,
or it ran off the track, or collided with
another train, which frequently oc-
CURED. Mr.. Tomlnson stood the torture
till daylight, when he sent for a
doctor. who succeeded in fishing
out the bug, which in the meantime had
died. Mr.. Tomlinson said that if the
bug had remained in his ear an hour
longer he would have been raving
maniac.

An Une.plored Region In Wnshingto on.
An old friend, who has just returned
from a town of the new Western States,
tells me, says st. Louis Republic man,
that there is an un plored region in the
State of Washington which is as little
known as the interior of Africa.
1t is the country shut in by the Olym-
pic Mountains and includes an area Of
about $500 square miles, being some 400
miles greater in extent than the whole
State of Delaware.
This trackless waste, to the positive
knowledge of old residents of the State,
has never been trodden by the foot OF
man, white or Indian.
The mountains mentioned rise from the
level country to within 10 or Is miles OF
the straits of San Juan de Fuca, and
towering to height of G, 900 to 5000 feet
shut in this vast unexplored area.
The Indians fear the spot as the Javans
do their Poison valley" and say that No
man, white or red, can cross the great
basin inclosed by the Olympic Mountains
and live to tell the story of his explora-
TONS
But the atmosphere of this American
wonderland is not poisonous; neither il
the tangled jungle the home of wild.
fierce beasts or dangerous serpents; the
Indians simply claim that it is inhabited
by race of men who are so fierce that
no representative of the white,,or red man
nations could stand before them fQr a
moment.
Being UNEMPLOYED no one can even guess
at what the physical aspect of this great
silent wilderness is. The most generally
accepted theory in regard to it is that it
consists of great valleys stretching from
the inward slopes of the mountains to a
great central basin.
This story is supported by the fact that,
although the country around has abund-
ant rain, all of the streams flowing
toward the four points of the compass
are insignificant, and rise only on the
outer slopes of the range, none appearing
to drain the great tract shut in by the
mountains.
This fact supports the theory that tho
streams flowing from the inner slopes OF
the mountains feed a great interior lake.
But what drains the lake? 1t must have
an outlet; can it be that this outlet is
through a subterranean river which emp
ties into the ocean, strait, or sound?
Evidently there is room for much ex.
ploration and chance to make many
new discoveries in Washington's grea!

A Breathing Exercise.

For the expansion of the lungs: Go
into the open air, stand erect, throw
back the head and shoulders, and draw
in the air through the nostrils as much
as possible. After having thus filled the
lungs through the nostrils, raise your
arms, and, while they are extended, suck
in the air. When you have thus forced
the arms backward with the chest open,
change the process by which you drew
in your breath till the lungs are emptied.
Go through this process several times a
day and it will enlarge the chest, give
the lungs better play, and serve very
much TO ward off consumption.

How Richmond was Surrendered.

When the van of the Northern army,
under the command of Col Stephens,
came in sight, we (the Richmond City
CounciD, under a flag Of truce, met
them, when Nr. Mayo then and there
surrendered the city in proper form.
We then entered our carriages. and, pre-
ceded by portion of the enemy's cav
airy, returned to the city. The officer
in command went direct to the Capitol,
where, after hosting the United States
flag and establishing his headquarters
he at once turned his earnest endeavors
to bring order out of chaos and protect
both persons and property. The con-
duct both of the officers and soldiers in
their attempts to stop the spread
of the fire and extinguish the
flames is deserving of al praise. The
aphorism, "One spark Of nature makes
kindred of us all, was never more fully
exemplified than on that day, when I
saw the elite white citizen of the day,
and the recent negr, slave, and the
Yankee officer and sddier, vying with
each other to best project and subserve
the public interest. II the flames were
not stopped, it was nc fault of the peo-
pie or soldiery, but because the devour-
ing element had got beyond control

Rev j. O. Wilson, OF Philadelphia,
recently delivered the first OF series OF
sermons on popular Amusements.
The text was: "There Is time to dance, "
and in his text thu speaker denounced
the dance as the first though uncon-
scious step toward immortality He
said: "Dancing Is nothing more nor less
than fashionable embracing, and is
detrimental not only to the moral but 20
the physical health OF the dancer, as the
costumes worn are OF the most scanty
character as a rule. Many poor un-
fortunate now lying at deaths door
with consumption can trace the first
cause OF her disease TO the whIrI and
glamour OF the ball room. The chief OF
the New York police stated In his last
report that three-fourths OF the fallen
women OF that great city took their first
step toward immortality through dane
ing. What the alcohol is TO wine, I'M
holy thoughts and passions are to the
dance. and young woman cannot leave
a ballroom aspure and chaste in thought
at least as She was when she entered IT..
Dancing as mentioned In the Bible Is In
no way synonymous with the dance of
to-day. Then the men danced alone and
the women a'one, aad did IL as sign OF
praise and thanksgiving to God"

A Boy ON "A Farm.

how much easier it is to cook n good
dinner than to wash the dishes after

Consider what boy on a farm is re.
quired to do-things that must be done,

stood, in the first place, that he is to dc
all the errands, go to the store, to the

He is the one who spreads the grass as
the men cut IL; he slows IL away in the
barn; he rides the horse to cultivate the
corn, up and down the hot, weary rows;
he brings wood and water, and splits
kiDdling; he gets up the horse and turns
out the horse. Whether he is in the
house or out Of IL, there is always some
thing to do. just before school in the
winter, he shovels the paths; and In the
summer he turns the grind-stone. And
yet, with his mind full OF schemes OF
what he would like to do, and his hands
full occupation, he is an idle boy who
has nothing to busy himself with but
school and chores. He would gladly do
all the work IL somebody else would do
all the chores, he thinks; and yet doubt
IL any boy ever amounted to anything I'm

who did not enjoy the advantages OF a
liberal education I'm the way of chores.
