About Drowning.

ITO prevent any person from inter-
fering with my design I jumped into
the river late in the afternoon last Fri
day. No one appeared to be about at
the time. When I struck the water
Immediately sank, going down and
down, and yet being carried forward
until I thought 1 would never again
arise. A sound roared through my
head, it seemed to me it would burst.
opened my mouth and attempted to
breathe, being unable to endure the
pressure longer, but the water rushed
in and closed my mouth. Twas again
compelled to open it. More water en-
tered. The feeling was horrible.
'sJust when I thought all was over l
reached the surface of the water about
80 feet from the shore and 100 feet from
where / had jumped in. Near by was
steamboat on which stood man with
long pole with an iron hook on the
end. Ittook only second to see those
things, and, in fast, had just time to
get one breath when ! again sank with
my mouth open. My past life flashed
before me, and I was again child.
The picture of my father and mother
stood out in bold relief. I reached
out my hand to them. The roaring Of
the water sounded like the sweetest of
music. Suddenly l saw light and
thought was in Paradise. A large
green field covered with roses and other
flowers, whose fragrance / could smell,
came in view. l felt as if / was being
borne up by some winged messenger
whom I could not see, but whose pre-
ssnce could feel.
g remembered nothing more until
I felt a rough jerk. My rescuer had
succeeded in fastening the boathook in
my clothing. As my body was being
pulled from out of the water the picture
changed I; instead Of Paradise, the place
in which the devil dwells, with all Its
fires and swarming with hideous, red.

Moths and Their Remedy.


AT. this season Of the year, when one
begins to pack away winter furs and
fiannels. the mind grows excited over
the prospect of moths. What is the
best mode of warfare to wage against
the pest of the household. the moth, is
the query of the anxious one who has
under her charge rugs, winter clothing
and heavy draperies. Call in o pro-
fessional packer and he will tell yeu
that the most reliable thing to use as
preventive is turpentine. Rugs
sprinkled with this and rags saturated
in the fluid laid in between the folds
will, if they are carefully beaten and
rolled in cotton sheets, keep them in
safety from the persistent marauders
So effective is turpentine that drench.
ed cloths hung in closets will banisf
the moth from the vicinity.

To Dry Umbrellas.

Wet umbrellas should be put to dry
with their handles down, allowing the
moisture to dry off evenly. If the
handle be up the water will drip down
into the thickened part at the top,
aud will take so long to dry that the
cloth will be rotted. Umbrellas
should not be rolled up while they are
wet, and it is better to let them be
uzrolled while they are in the house.
A silk umbrella should never be
opened out to dry, as the stretching
Of the wet silk makes it liable to
crack. When fernle is lost it should
be replaced.

The Country Road.

| The pathway OF life may be narrow and steep,
| But the road through the country is sleeper.
The pitfalls aud snares that beset us are deep,
But the mud that surrounds Us Is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and mudholes
for drains,
And hard heads and powders for gravel.
And broken down buggies on hillsides and
plains
Give warnings, like ghosts, as we travel.
Lank horses, by work and abuse broken down,
Gaze at US from roadside aud stable.
Young men reaching wistfully out toward the
town.
Or seeking its portals when able
Deserted farmhouses, the fences decayed.
And the breezes through weed patches blow
Where once happy children rejoiced as they
played
Hide and seek when the field corn was grow
ing.
What Joy for the youth, as his longings expand.
In a life 50 restricted and narrow;
His prospect mid all opportunities grand,
But to follow the pillow and the harrow
Half banished from hope. and shut out Of the
world
By a fimsy but tangible curtain,
society's pleasures away from him hurled
The roads are so very uncertain"
There's little enjoyment in lie scattered
round,
And little OF profit or pleasure
In roads where the bottom can scarcely be
found
With less than a seven foot measure.
Let US seek some reform. then. at once. ere we
lose
All trace OF our roads from our annals,
And make surface roads that the public can
use.
Or else take the underground channels.
