Gov. Nichols Jokes.

Gov Nichols, of Louisiana, has lost
an arm and leg. but so deftly have the
artificial members been fitted to the
stumps that few people are in the secret
Of his loss, says correspondent Of the
New York World. ''His Colored body
servant was left behind on the occasion
of his last visit To ViCksburg, aud at his
disposal during his stay was put likely
young lad. who was told to try and take
the old body servants place. That
night, when Governor Nichols was ready
to rctiie he stretched out one of
his legs to Ned and said, Ned, unscrew
that leg. Ncd's eyes began to open with
horror, but ne obcycd and took the leg
off. Gov N. then said, calmly stretch
ing out an ann, 'Ncd. unscrew that arm. ,
The boy rolled up his eyes until nothing
but the whites could he seen, but he
obeyed and unscrcwed the srm. The
Governor, who now realized his con-
dition of mind, determined to have little
fun with him, SO, reaching out his neck,
he said, Ned, unscrew that head But
the boy never waited to see whether the
head would come off or not, and no one
succeeded in getting him to go near
Governor Nicholls again"

Canadians Want Our Trade.

now in imminent danger of being cap

the subject of substituting line of steam
ers to ply between Canadian ports and
Jamaica, and of making special induce
ments to turn the current of trade Of
the United States from New York, which
now enjoys the most of it, to the Do
minion. But Charleston people are
alive to the probability of turning the
trade to South Carolina, and if negotia-

comes most Of the flour now Used in
Jamaica, come to a successful fruition,

ing of the kind. 70 fact, such plan
would injure tho J;.le business. Two
pairs of shoes worn alternately will last
three times rs long as a single pair. Tho
saving, of course, is made in the wearing
Of the leather. A pair OF shoes worn
every day goes to pieces moro than twice
as fast as pair worn every second day.
I know that proposition is a staggcrer,
but it is true, nevertheless. A man docs
not wear out two pair OF shoes in exactly
the same manner. Do you remember hS J

on again after they have been discarded
for awhile7 They didn't IL you like
your new shoes, and the contrast is verv

in the case of new shoes. No two pair
fit your feet in exactly the same way. In
one pair the strain and wear of the
leather fall heaviest upon one particular
part Of the shoe, and in another the
greatest wear and tear fall upon another
part altogether. y Chicago Mail.

simple rules to antidote poisons, and the
following seem to me safe in the hands Of
"home-folks":
For alkaline poisons, give to drink
freely of vinegar and water, lemon juice,
or acetic acid and water.
For opium, strong black coffee.
For acids, lime water, chalk and
water, even soap and water may do.
For burns and scalds: Cover the part
with flour, or put on lotion made Of
equal parts of hnseSd oil and lime water.

keep some Of this in the house. ~ -.
For nose bleed: Roll bit Of pepcr-
and place it between the upper lip and
tho gum, producing sufficient pressure to.
stop the flow.
Finally--In any emergency put aside
sentiment, suppress all external evidences
Of emotion, encourage your child by
words of cheer, and do as well as you
can, being assured that few accidents
prove fatal in too short a time to summon

King Kalakaua, in his life or in I

King Kalakaua, in his life or in his
death, stood alone among monarchs,
muses. the New York Commercial Adoer-
siser. A King without what might be
called kingdom, he came to Republic
to breathe his last. Another popularity
of his majesty was that he was protege
of people with whom it is an article of
faith that kings are cumberers Of the
earth. But then he encountered so very
little of it that we forgave him. We
rather patted him on the head with
certain hslf-conscious pride that we too
of the western hemisphere had our speci.
men of royalty to show. And if it cannot
be said that his passing away has con-
vulsed principalities and powers, it has
at least, if we mistake not, removed g
good fellow from the world. Aud really
good fellows are rare, whether In palace
or in hovel. That he has left as sue
cessor on his microscopic throne the wife
of Yankee merchant adds pungency to
the situation. That looks like the begin
ming of the end. The Sandwich Islands
will not be long in following in the wake
Of Brazil, In adding still another name to

Criminals to Hang Thenselyes.

Undcr the new Colorado system the

enough. Given man at one end of

put IN motion the machinery by which,
at the end Of two minutes, tho weight
will fall and the man will bob up into

gauge consists OF two buckets, ono set
