What to Do In Case Of Accident.

Professor Wilder, of Cornell Uni
versity, gives the following short rules
for action in case of accident, which will
be found useful to preserve or remem-
Der:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash water into them; remove cinders,
etc., with the round point of lead pen
Gil.
Remove matter from the ear with
tepid water; never put a hard instrument
into the ear.
If an artery is cut compress above the
wound; if vein is cut compress below.
If choked get upon all fours and
cough.
For slight burns dip the part in cold
water; il the skin is destroyed cover
with varnish.
Smother fire with carpets, etc. water
will often spread burning oil aud in
crease danger. Before passing through
smoke take a full breath, aud then
stoop low; but if carbonic acid gas is sus-
pected walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or,
better, cut out the part without delay;
hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of cigar.
In case of poisoning excite vomiting
by tickling the throat or by warm water
aud mustard.
II in water, float cn the back, with the
nose aud mouth projecting.
For apoplexy raise the head aud body;
for fainting lay the person fiat. New

Early Hours in Austrian Towns.

There is a popularity which Vienna
shares in common with all Austrian
towns. At 10 o'clock the streets are de
serted. Scarcely will you meet Que soli-
tary soul. A law authorizes the portiere
or concierge to levy tax of ten kreutz-
ers, called the Spergold, on any person
leaving or entering the house after that
hour. Thus this Spergold obliges you,
when you are invited TO party, TO pay
ten kreutzers on leaving your own apart
meat, ten more for yourself and your
servant on entering your hosts house,
the same when you leave il, aud the
same on re-entering your own. Thus
the theatre and opera begin early, and
the performance is timed TO end at
quarter before ten. IL it lasts longer
nearly the whole audience rises aud
hastens away to be home in time 10 ave
the Spergold. Cafes are emptied at that
hour, the trains are crowded as the last
moment of grace arrives, and even the
ubbers of whist at the clubs are inter-
rupted. II grows into such force of
habit, aud is such an accepted fact, that
unless under exceptional circumstances,
you do not think of iucuiring the deb

An Orators BashfnI BeglnnIng.

During the Indian war of '36, while
volunteer companies were being formed
in different counties of the State, a com
pany was organized IN Hancock County,
Captain G.. w. Brown commanding. On
their departure for the seat of war the
citizens of Sparta decided to give them
an ovation. Orators were scarce, and
after searching the town over for a
speaker it was suggested that there was
a young lawyer there who had never
made a speech, but who might be per-
suaded to try his luck on that occasion.
The young lawyer was quickly seen, and
consented to say few words by way OF
encouragement to the Hancock Blues on
their departure on so patriotic mission.
The speech was the talk OF the town for
several days The speaker was Alexan-
der II. Stephens. Atlanta Constitution,

Have Variety in Your Food,

There is source of ill health in many
rural homes which certainly should not
exist. The cause here referred to is lack
of variety of food. 1t may sound strange
to some to hear such cause of i'll health
is existing on Our American farms, but
such is actually the case. 1t is true that
really good vegetable aud fruit gardens
are lacking at great part of our rural
homes. There may be few vegetables
growing in the garden at the height of
the season, but such a thing as an effort
to have fresh vegetables in abundance
nine months in the year is almost un.
known on a Northern farm, and the
same is true in reference to fruits. While
it is possible to have fruit on the table
every day in the year grown on farm
in the North, there is not one farm in
ten thousand so supplied. Vegetables
and fruits take the place OF medicines in
maintaining health and vigor of the
body. Indeed, it is doubtful if people
supplied with an abundance of fresh
vegetables and ripe fruit have much need
of medicine or medical aid. More aud
more attention to this matter is needed.

A UNIQUE Portrait.

Many remarkable stories are told con
cerning the wonders of penmanship,
such as the work OF Johu,J. Taylor, OF
Streator, ILL.,, who once wrote GO00
words on the blSnk side of a,postal card /;
and the Austrian who wrote 400 letters
on a grain of wheat; but in the estima-
tion of the writer, Gustave Dahlberg, a
Swedish university student, has eclipe1
them all.
This wizard of the pen has made a
portrait of King Oscar, the whole in
microscopic letters, forming short and
long extracts from the Bible.
The right eye of this wonderful
portrait is made up of even verses from
the Psalms of David; the left of verses
from the Proverbs of Solomon, the Book
of Chronicles, and the Song of Solomon,
containing in all 317 words aud 1903
letters. Thu Kings uniform is com
posed of the whole of the first fifty
Psalms.
The exact number of words and letters
in the whole portrait is not stated, but
judging from the fact that it took 1903
letters to ma one eye, the whole num-
Der of letters in this triumph OF the pen
mans art cannot fall much short of
$4,000. In making the name of the
King alone, Dalhberg used all of the
Royal Greek prayer and the cxxvi. and
oxxvii. Psalms, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The portrait, which is said to look
life-like and natural, is on tinted paper
of the kind known as "Haynes Stand
ard, - and is so small that United States
half-dollar laid upon it comparatively
hides it from view. Taken all in all, it
is accounted the most wonderful piece
of penmanship ever executed.

One new creature in the next Europea

One new creature in the next European
war will be the Bosnia Herzegovinian
troops, who are now exciting the admira-
ton of Vienna by their superior ply
sique, martial bearing, firm, elastic step
and steadiness, as well as by their prac
tical dress and equipment. Following
the British example with native Indian
troops, the Austrian Government de-
clded to mingle indiscriminately in
these new levies Christians aud Mahome-
tans, Greeks and Roman Catholics, in
stead of keeping the sectaries apart.
The plan is said to work admirably.

The New York Sun says: Some of
the members of the Foreign Legations at
Washington who are we'll known in the
New York clubs are sufferers by the un-
fortunate names which they have inher-
tied. Mr.. Grip, the Swedish Minister,
for example, has had to listen to so much
play upon his name since his namesake
became a fashionable malady, that it is
wonder he survives it. Mr.. Ho, of the
Chinese Legation, furnishes much mild
amusement in social circles because it can
be said with safety that he is not rake
"a comment which the Celestial mind
absorbs blandly and blinkingly without
comprehending fully its meaning. The
late Persian Minister, Hadji Hassein
Ghouli Khan Il am not quite sure of the
spelling of all of it myself, found his
name so twisted in the mouths of menials
as we'll as of the people he met socially
that he probably looks upon Americans
to this day as very ignorant people.
There is an Italian in Washington who is
not at all of the Legation set, who has
gained some local prominence as Secre-
tary of the Italian Society, whose unfor-
tunate name is Iannarone-a name which
the vulgar have corrupted into Annie
Rooney, to the Its.isN Gastlspen's great
disgust

Some of the wisest scholars delight in
the collection of pamphlets, learns the

pamphlets which attracted little notice

According to the New York Truth, til,

According to the New York Truth, the
outcome of the experiment now being
tried by NJ. Gilbert Tompkins at his
Southern farm, near Sau Leandro, CAL,
will, In all probability, be a complete
revolution in the accepted method of
training horses for speed. The system
the idea is not absolutely new, but has
never before been applied on large
scalc-consists in training horses in the
water, making them swim in tanks of
tepid salt water instead of the constant
track work that has lame1 so many
promising animals. The swimming re.
duccs flesh rapidly aud strengthens the
muscles and improves the wind as much
as ten times tho same time spent on the
track, and very little supplementary
track work puts the horse in condition
to make record. Should this system
prove all that it now seems to be, Mr..
Tompkius will have done much to further
the improvement of horse flesh.

CHAPTER W.


 A week or more had passed, with variations of sunshine and rain, and as yet Agnes had found no occasion to re- pent of her bargain with Phemy. She worked with feverish energy for hours to win a smile from her mistress, whom she blindly worshiped. Her neglected. half savage nature, under a ray of kind ness blossomed out with surprising vigor. The dull, half stupid look had left her face, her eye had grown brighter and new life seemed to jingle and glow in her abundant red tresses.
 When Agnes gave her leave to play she threw herself into it with passion ate delight, climbing to the tops of the highest trees, mounting to the ridgepole of the old barn and roaming the woods and fields through and through in search of rare wild flowers for her idol.
 One day she came to Agnes and said, with some appearance of shame: "Tve lied to Miss Burns. l said l wouldn't never lie to you, but l didn't promise bout her, and I've lied to her. She come and 'cused me of hooking half pic on the cellar swing shelf, and l looked her straight in the eye and says I, I didn't do it-hope to die if did. But l did, miss; took it and ct it sittin down on a stump in the orchard"

our Present One With France Entirely

 PARIS, Feb. 3.-Minister Whitelaw Reid has been intrusted with the nego- tiation of new extradition treaty be- tween the United States and France.
 The one now in existence fails to meet the exigencies of modern criminal life, having been originally signed nearly 50 years ago, in 1845, and cases are con- stantly arising where the ends of justice cannot be attained owing to the made quacy of it's provisions.
 The main points of the new treaty have already been agreed upon by the two governments, and M. Fallieres, the new Minister of Justice, has been or dered to investigate and report as to the proposed new provisions.
 The Commission to draft the treaty, consisting of a representative of the French Foreign Office and representa- tive of the American Legation, has al- ready prepared the draft, which Minister Ribot, of Foreign Affairs, and Whitelaw Reid, the American Minister, will prob ably accept.
 When negotiations are concluded, Minister Reid will resign.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE.
TWO Bodies Found and Another Supposed

TWO SSOuAes COumO ana AnOBneE supposed
 to Be In the Ruins.
 NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 3.-A terrific explosion took place in J. Rummell & Co.'s hat factory last evening. Two plumbers and an apprentice were at work repairing an alcohol condenser, and it is supposed that the plumbers torch ignited the gas from some leak.
 The explosion resulted in the immedi- ate spread of flames and the 150 em- ployes escaped by jumping from the windows.
 After the fire department had con- trolled the flames a search was made for bodies.
 Oscar Lenrich, boss plumber, aged 32 years, was found charred almost beyond recognition. He leaves a widow and five children.
 Another body was found, likewise burned to crisp, which is supposed to bs that of the other plumber, aged about 28 years, who had been employed here only two weeks. His name is Daniel O'Keefe. He is from Newburgh, N. Y.
 The apprentice was Albert Anderson, aged 19 years, residing at Waverly, N. J. No trace of his body can be found. It is supposed to be in the ruins.
 Three other employees were severely in jured but not seriously.

 At the inquest he coolly told of the shooting and viewed the body of his father without tremor.
 His mother and sister are greatly grieved, but their testimony upheld the boy.
 It seems that Porter came home crazed by hard drinking and began beating his mother, when the boy, to save her from his fathers blows, shot at him three times, but one bullet proving fatal, the other two infiicting but slight scratches.
