Petroleum and prunkenn es..

The number of remedies-not to say nos trums- which have from time to time been vaunted as specifics for alcoholism is legion, some of the latest being red cin- chona, strychinine, ichthyol. phosporus, hydrobromate of hyoscine, and hydrastis The most recently suggested remedy is petroleum, or paraffine oil, to which the att tention of the St. Petersburg medical authorities was called by an accident. It appears that 1aboring man, who had been drinking heavily for four days and nights, entered in a complete state of in- toxication in grocer shop, without being conscious of where he was or what he was doing.S
 Unnoticed by the shopkeeper he stag gered up to aE open cask of petroleum and began drinking from it. With difficulty he was dragged away from the cask, and see- ing the large quantity of petroleum he had imbibed. it was expected he would fall down senseless and be seriously ill. In- stead of this, however, it is related that the petroleum had cured him of alll the ill effects of overdrinking, the nausea, un- steadiness of gait, and headache disap- bearing as if by magic. In fact, it is stated he left the shop sober and quite another man as compared with what he was before he took the draught of petroleuml- T.ancat

stronrer Than Eleetricifv.I

Mike Stable. an inspector for the Ale ;ghany Electric Light Company, is now ready to do aturn in any first-class mu- scum as "the only living electrocuted v an" says the Pittsburg Dispatch. He was able to be around the streets yester- day, though only a few hours previous he took in 5000 volts of electricity through his hands. His right hand was burned to the bone, and his left hand and right foot were severely burned. Stable climbed to the topof the tower at the corner of North avenue and Monterey street to make some repairs. With one hand he grasped wire, and with the other he used pair Of plyers. The plyers were not properly Insulated, and he got the full force of the current. A lady who saw the accident says that electric sparks seemed to be hy- ing all about the man, and she could not understand it.
 With the current on, Stable found that he had bitten off more than he could com fortably chew, as he could not let go A man went to the works and had the cur rent turned off and Stable was released. He was taken to Armour s drug store and soon afterward was able to walk home.

\ Mothers Love.

The loving devotion of a mother to her child is almost as enduring as the heavens above any is not to be compared with early things. This fact has, many times been -eHerar,1l 4 C. =. dthe se4eatrenae kasaships undergone last weekfby Mrs. Nancy Six killer, mother of the two Dunnawas boys who were hanged at this place Friday, was only another suhstantiating instance of this assertion After learning that the principal chief had refused to pardon her boys or commute the death sentence the old lady was wild with grief and deter mined to go to the chief in person and make a last appeal to him for their lives. The distance from Mrs. Sixkiller's home in Going Snake district to Chief Maye's residence on Grand River is not less than ninety miles. Although an aged and feeble woman of seventy years she made this long journey afoot and alone.
 And all in vain
 Her pleadingS with the stern old chief came to naught, and the heart-b broken mother was back at this place the day be- fore the hanging so that she might be with her doomed boys during their last hours on earth.
 When she left her home Mrs. Sixkiller had on an old pair of shoes, but when she arrived in Talequah her. feet were bare, torn and bleeding, and she was in an utterly exhausted condition, caused by her grief, hunger and fatigue She had waded creeks and climbed mountains until her shoes were worn completely from her feet.-Fort Worth (Tex.)

Rare Sport is Froggfng.

Frogging is sport and a business to marsh dwellerS near this town. Far
 out on Long Island and over in New Jer- sey hundreds of men and boys patrol the marshes for frogs. The day frogger, clad in hip boots and usually accompanied by dog. walks along the banks of a ditch or stream keenly watching for the green back and great eyes of his prey. The
 frog is also on the watch, and as soon as he catches sight of the hunter, eyes and back disappear beneath the water. The frogger expects this and is prompt to act. He steps into the water near the spot where froggy was, and with almost uner- ring hand lays thumb and finger upon the creatures neck. A sharp pinch snaps the spinal cord, and the frog is presently pumped into 8 basket or game bag If the frog jumps from bank to stream at the hunters approach the latter hardly expects to bag the game but the skilled hunter nearly always catches the frog that is first discovered sitting.
 The night frogger goes in a boat with a II hawkeye lantern at the bow. The light not only discovers the frog to the hunter, but also faScinates the game so that he is easily shot with a rifle or scoped up with net. The night cry of the frog
 guidesethe hunter to the victims hiding place. Those that go for sport usually shoot the game, but the pot hunter pre- fers to take the frog alive in the net, as a method less likely to frighten off his in- tended prize. Some hunters catch as many as twenty dozen frogs in the course of a night, when all the conditions are favora- ble. Frogs bring at wholesale from $1 to $1.25 dozen, but the frogging season is short and the success of the hunter varies greatly with the Weather.-N. Y. Recorder.

Girl Slavery in Thtbet.

The people were in state of excitement over the marriage of the belle of the place and the high price her prospective hus- band had had to pay for her; fifty taels to purchase number two wife was highly creditable to the town which had given birth to such treasure. The Ssuch' uaneso are much given to selling girls and large numbers are exported yearly from Chung ching for Han-kou and Shanghai and other Eastern cities. The price usually paid for one of six or seven years is from seven to ten taels. They are kindly reared by the stock farmer who buys them, receive liberal education with all modern accomplishments" and when they have attained the age of sixteen are easily disposed of at high prices The trade has nothing cruel about it, and many of these girls are respected members of society in after life, and certainly enjoy many more material comforts than if they had been left in their poor villages. I have lived in homes of highly respectable Chinese where the wife had four or five little girls pur- chased with her savings, and they were treated with as much kindness and love as her own children.

In the Yourouk Country.

Each tent has it's spinning wheel and it's loom, hole working for the pedals of which is dug in the ground, and all the women of the tribe were engaged in mak- ing the far famed Karamanian carpets. There is the wooden mortar for grinding the roast coffee berries in, the decorated wooden platter in which they cool the same, theAwooden water jars made out of the holfowed stems of pine trees Every thing almost they use is of wood, and gaBly decorated with rude patterns, ac- cording to their fancy. When reaping, a Yourouk uses wooden gloves to protect his left hand from the sickle. When tending his flock, the Yourouk shepherd has a long wooden flute, incased in a carved wooden case made of two bits of wood glued together and strung with rib- bons and colored beads across his shoul- der, looking for all the world like the Afri- can assegai or some other primitive weapon of war. In it he always keeps a long stick with goats hair at one end to clean it, and really the weird music that he produces with this instrument, known as the Nai, is very striking and suitable to the surroundings.
 In one corner of the tent arc the bee hives-long trunks of trees hollowed out and the ends stopped with dung cakes. The bees travel with them, wherever they go, on the backs of camels, and their honey resembles cakes of soap, for they boil it. wax and all, before eating it. The You rouks have not the remotest idea of let ters, and carry on their transactions with the outer world by means of wooden tal- lies -four-sided bits of wood, gayly carved, sometimes plain -Blackwoods Magazine.

Tartar IIf9awayn, e,,.

The Caucasus is full of highwaymen, vwho make the roads unsafe. But there are salsc knights of good order there, of whom sthe highwaymen are in terror. The Listok of Iihis reports an interesting illustration !: A merchant of Tif1is made his way to a
 neighboring city to purchase horses; he

 horses disappeared in a moment The man on horseback freed the unfortunate merchant and told him to mount and re- sume his journey. The merchant offered
 hundred-ruble bill to his liberator, but the latter dfsdainfully declined to accept it. z If thou hast many of these things z he said, endow the poor and hide the rest. Shatro does not want thy money Go thy way and include Shatro in thy prayers SA<1 Allah ,,

A Maine solomon.

Two Penobscot County farmers bought an old-fashioned pair of steelyards, each paying part of the cost, and both used them for weighing their produce for mar ket After time dispute arose and each claimed to own them. The matter was carried into court. The jury disagreed. Then the case on some technicality, was sent to the law court, and was again sent back for trial. The costs up to this point had reached about $500, about a hundred times the original cost of the steelyards. When it came up again Judge Peters was the presiding justice. He told the counsel that if continued, the costs would be in- creased to such an extent that one or the other of the parties would lose his farm in order to pay, and advised them to enter it ~'s neither party" and divide the cost as it was. After a consultation the parties said that they were willing to do that, and it looked as though the case would be set- tied. All at once one of the contestants went over to his counsel in the courtroom and asked: But who is going to get the steelyards9 He shall not have them" The other contestant made the same declara- tion. Then the counsel arose and said the case was just where it was before any talk of settlement had been made. They were willing to stop litigation and divide the cost, but what would be done with the steel-yards?" I'll fix that" said Judge Peters. Let the Sheriff of the county take the steel-yards at night and go down and throw them into the middle of the river, letting nobody know the exact spot, 80 they never can be recovered by any one" The contestants agreed to this proposition, each paid his propor tionate part of the cost, and the case was dropped.

How to Cleanse the Mouth.

There are few things more unpleasant than foul breath. This occurs in it's most offensive form from decayed teeth and from mucus adhering to the walls of the mouth and throat, which has been de- composed by the gases and acids of the system. A simple and effective way to remedy this is to drop 8 few crystals of permanganate of potash into tumbler of water, and gargle the throat and rinse the mouth well with it after each meal, or before going to bed and in the morning. This solution is a perfect de- odorizer of all organic decay, and neu- tralizes the offensive odor arising from the decaying particles of food which re- main in the cavities of or between the teeth, etc. It is harmless.

HOW to Glenn MarhIe.

A strong preparation for cleaning mar ble is fine pumice stone, newly slaked lime and verdigris, mixed thick with soft soap. Dip woolen rag in this compound, and rub the stains one way Then wash off with soap and water. An other excellent preparation is made of two parts of common soda, one part of pumice stone and one of finely powdered chalk, which should be sifted through a fine sieve and mixed with water It is used in the same manner. Iron rust can be usually removed by rubbing with lemon juice.

AFTER SHE SANG.

pcme weird and sacred sorcery Makes musics self appear to be An unexistent dream, apart From you. your life. and singing heart, Strange bits of f1tful moods of sound Are in your aspects interwound, Your attitudes and movements own An oversoul of time and tone. Brief notes or rhythmic light arise Through the blue shadows in your eyes. Your each imbreathing seems to be A draught of silent melody. The room that holds your song seems hung With tapestries your soul has sung, A soft and gentle radiance falls From where your voice glows on the walls. And where your harmonies have shone Aquiet warmth still fingers on, Like sunshine on an evening lawn. After your living self is gone.

How to Render Fabrics Incombustible.
 Many deaths would be prevented if ladies engaged in household work would wear incombustible or non-infammable garments. The process of so treating linens and cottons is very simple. Steep the goods in a per cent. solution of sul- phate of ammonia, or 20 per cent solu- tion of tungstate of soda and then dry them. If they are now held in the flame of a candle or gas lamp they will not take fire. That portion of the fabric which was in contact with the light will be- come charred, but it will not infiame, and hence the burning state will not spread to the rest of the garment. Steep ing in borax and hot water will have a similar effect.

when aPIuck ;, Was slang.

This word affords an instance of the way in which slang words in the course of time become adopted into current English. We now meet with " pluck" and "plucky' as the recognized equivalent of courage" and " courageous. An entry in Sir Walter Scott's journal shows that in 1927 the word had not yet lost it's low character. He says (yol. IL, D. 30l Want of that article black guardly called pluck" Its origin Is ob- Yious. From early times the heart has been popularly regarded as the seat of courage. Now, when butcher lays open a carcass he divides the great vessels of the heart, cuts through the windpipe and then plucks out together the united heart and lungs-lights he calls them-and he terms the united mass the pluck.

How to Restore Faded Writing.

Often the writing upon letters and other documents becomes faded and al- most illegible. If they are of importance the writing can be easily restored by first covering it with a solution of prus- slate of potash, and then adding, over the prussiate, some diluted muriatic acid. By this means the faded letters will assume permanent and beautiful dark blue color.
