Keep Your Mouth Shut.

Many disease germs enter through
an open mouth. The mouth was not
made for breathing, but for eating
and speaking. The nose was made
for breathing, and the air, passing
through the long and moist nasal
passages, is purified and leaves be-
hind dust, disease germs, and various
impurities, while the air is warmed
and tempered for the lungs. But
when the mouth is left open, dust,
dirt, and disease rush down into the
lungs, and, fastening there, develop
and destroy the whole system. The

enormous that it was impossible to
get to place of safety. The negroes
and whites and cattle were to be seen
In all directions, running for the
high places. Some of the people who
could not get away were rescued from
the tops of houses or trees. Many
were in treetopS for thirty or more
hours.
The Work of Relief Parties.
Boats were hastily constructed and
relief parties worked hard night and
day rescuing the negroes. One fam
lily of negroes, seven in number,
were got into the boat and the old
negress had pet pig which she took
into the boat with her. The pig
jumped out into the water as the
boat moved off, and she grabbed for
it, overturning the craft. The chill
dren were all drowned. The mother,
the husband, and the rescuers es-
capped. On one little mound about
forty negroes and several head Of cat
tie were found huddled together On
another there were seventy people
and many head of cattle, all hungry
and suffering.
Many touching incidents are re-
ported of the people fleeing from the
floods, and many deeds Of heroism
have been recorded to the credit Of
the people Of Columbus. The river,
or rather the sea, at that place was
over seven miles wide. The record
made by the flood of 1S47 was eleven
feet lower than the present one. 1t

Occasionally he wanders into Del

He does not look up at all, though
the eyes of half the people in the

Ben Wright Got q Ready Call to Repeat
Dat Order Quick.


Ben Wright, who died the other day,
was the most companionable man ever
met. The oyster house which he opened,
at the corner of Brattle and Court
streets, for years was Boston institu-
ton.
/ remember going into Wrights one
night dozen years ago. Seated at the
table next me were four newsboys, ac-
companied by two girls who sold papers.
The waiter refused to serve them.
What's the trouble, my little menu"
said Ben Wright, who overheard the
conversation.
"Why, this 'erc duffer says he won't
give us dat what we wants.
What do you want, my boy?"
Il want great big stew, with plenty
of oysters and six spoons"
Wright said "all right" quietly gave
the order and when ii was ready served
the boy with big stew, a large plate of
crackers and platter of pickles. The
six spoons were there.
The stew was passed around, the
spokesman seeing that each had his or
her share. In few moments it had
entirely disappeared. The leader of the
party then walked up to the desk and
said: How much stuff, Ben? / tell
you dat was cracky."
Never mind the stuff, my boy; have
the stew with me, said Wright, kindly.
Don't want no stuff ?"
NO, my boy"
well, repeat dat order quick"
No one laughed heartier or enjoyed
the retort more than honest Ben
Wright. Boston News.

entire estate TO his wife followed
rumors, soon verified, that the will
was to be contested on the ground
that the instrument probated was not
the will which Senator Mcdonald had
made. Additional interest was
aroused by recalling the romance
which surrounded and connected the
lives Of the deceased Senator and his
second wife. The amount i'm con-
troversy is about $40, 900, and in
cludes a lot on Washington street
in indianapolis. On two occasions
during his last illness the Senator
told his friends that he intended to
leave his Washington street property
to his children, but when his will
was opened it was found that he had
left that also to Mrs. Mcdonald. 1t
is TO set aside this bequest that the
suit is fled, and in the inquiry Mrs.
Mcdonald has been summoned to APP
pear and answer questions under oath.
Other phases Of the case are both
dramatic and supernatural. In the
Senator's Office was q clerk named
Arthur Hutchins, and he copied the
will or wrote it at the Senator's die
tation. One day he went home from
the office, and as he did not return it
was found that he had gone insane.
The contestants assert that his men,

ing mutilated the will. Then, in

New Canada Democrats Active
and Enthusiastic.
One of the largest Democratic meet
ings of the campaign was held at New
Canada Saturday evening, when they or
gained Cleveland, Lawler and Castle
club. There were enrolled 135 members.
After the organization, Hon. j. N.
Castle addressed the meeting in one of
his admirable and telling tariff speeches.
He was followed by f. S. Battley. who
thoroughly explained the position of the
Republican leaders with the iaboring
men. His speech was received with
cheers. John Melrose's name was then
suggested as the representative to the
legislature, whereupou Mr.. Melrose eX-
planned his position, stating emphat-
lcally that he was not candidate, but
was heartily in favor of representative
from that part of the district.
The people are thoroughly aroused to
the cause of Cleveland, Lawler and
Castle, and the showing made at the
meeting will fully justify the predic-
lions of their friends.
George Walsh being present, and
called upon, responded with one of his
characteristic speeches eXpounding the
cause of Democracy, as is his custom.
The meeting ended with hearty cheers
for Cleveland, Lawler, Castle and the

and faith of his life; this made the
sentiment of Julia Ward Howe, who
found God speaking III hundred cir
cling camps. In the laws of retribu-
ton Whittier found living truth, and
this becoming his belief. his life had
genuine faith that never faItered.
And in less exciting scenes-in the
meeting house-this was also his ex-
perience. This, said the speaker, was
Che hope of every liberal minister. And
every liberal minister should have
Whittier's contempt for mere dogma
tism, and his love OF truth more than
party name. The preacher gave the
essence of 1.-THE Cry of Lost SOUL"
and followed it with an analysis of
External Goodness which he said
probably represented Whittier as well
as any short poem could do. He then
closed with an analysis of Whittier,s
last poem, the tribute to Holmes, to
show, as he said, that in the last days he
hadOtthe same hopefulness, the same
pity for men gone wrong, and the same
profound faith in the love that will live
to swallow up evil by the influence of
good.
