The EXcretOry Organs.

The eXcretory organs consist of the
lungs, the kidneys, and the skin. The
lungs remove the carbonic acid from
the blood, the kidneys take the uric
acid from the blood, and the skin re-
moves the surplus water and at the
same time assists the lungs in remov-
ing the carbonic acid. Now if the
skin be suddenly chilled, the small
pores through which the water has
been ooZing are suddenly closed. The
work is then thrown upon the lungs
and kidneys. If large portion Of the
skin is thus affected, the kidneys re-
fuse to perform their office, and, in
common language, "the cold settles
upon the kidneys, "and theTesult is that
all the work of purifying the blood has
to be done by the lungs, ard if this is
prolonged for any length Of time they
break down, and the result is pneu-
monia or pleurisy, and, under certain
conditions, consumption. REDS GER

COrned Beef and Cabbage.

stopped there on his return from the
tour of the world. One noon [ was all

GREAT favor. may [ have little corned
beef and cabbage?' Why, certainly I
replied. But shall / not send
it to you out in the dining
room?' No. he answered. I'll
eat it right here, if you let me sit
down at this table, So | cleared away
a place on the rough board table, where
the cooks had been fixing the meat,
drew him up a stool, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and cab
bage made my eyes bulge. When he
had finished he laid down his knife and
fork with a funny sigh of satisfaction,
nut one hand on my shoulder, and said:
Young man, suppose you don't care.

Did Jacob Lie i?

A good story is told Of a shipowner
of Liverpool, Quaker named Jacob,
who prided himself on his honesty.
He would not have told downright
falsehood to save the value of his best
craft. Jacob suffered one of his best
ships to set sail from Calcutta for home
without any insurance upon either YES
sci or cargo. At length he became un-
easy. He was confident his ship had
encountered bad weather, and he feared
Tor her safety. In this strait he went to
his friend Isaac. He called him
Friend" though Isaac was one of the
children of Israel. Friend Isaac" he
said. Il would like for thee to insure
my ship, which is at sea. Ishould have
done it before, bat have carelessly neg
lected 1t. If thee canst have the policy
signed all ready for delivery ats O'Clock
on the afternoon of tomorrow, 1 will
send and get it, and send thee the
money in full" Isaac did not seem to
be anxious to insure the ship; but, be-
Ing told that no unfavorable intelligence
had been heard from her, he said he
would have the policy made out to take
effect on and after o'clock of the fol-
lowing day, but to cover the ship and
cargo from leaving India. Early on the
following morning Jacob received a
message by the hand of captain just
arrived, to the effect that his ship was
stranded and her cargo lost. This was
very unfortunate. Should Friend Isaac
happen to hear the news before the
policy was made out, he would notmake
it out at all; Or, if it was made out and
not signed, he would not sign it. What
was to be done? Jacob wanted to act
honestly. 1t would not be right to let
10 hn in
such circumstances.
Finally he bit upon plan. He sum-
moned his confidential clerk and said:
Tell Friend Isaac that l have heard
from my ship, and if the policy is not
signed he need not sign it," The clock
was close upon the hour of 3 when
the clerk arrived at Isaac's office.
Friend Jacobs message was delivered;
the ship had been heard from, and if the
policy was not signed he need not sign
it. 81 think I am in season to save it."
the clerk said. "No, SIR" answered
Isaac promptly and emphatically. In
truth the policy Of insurance had not
been signed, for the insurer had been
in doubt. When Isaac heard the mes
sage he judged at once that the ship
was safe, and that Jacob sought to save
the heavy item of premium he had
agreed to pay. NO, sir, ne SAID,
o'clock, the policy is signed; I will 60
and get it," He slipped out and hastily
finished and signed the policy, and,
having dried the ink, he brought the
document to the clerk, demanding in
return the sum which had been agreed
upon. The money was paid and the
policy was taken home to Friend Jacob,
who received it very gladly. The end
can be readily Observation-Disclosures

Bride Dead, Husband Dying.

NEwTowN, April 5.-News was re- ceived in this town to-day of the death of Mrs Florence Clark, wife of Abel Clark. The latter is dangerously i'll and may die. Mrs Clark was formerly Florence Glover, daughter of the late Henry Glover, one of the wealthiest and best known men in western Connecti- cut. Five weeks ago the couple were married after a courtship of twelve years and went to Cuba on their we'd ding tour. Both were taken ill with the Cuban fever and hastened to return to the United States. They got as far as St Augustine where they became critically i'll. Mrs Clark sank rapidly and died last night. Her husband, whose condition has been precarious for several days, can hardly stand the shock of his brides death.

A Duel With Swords Believed to Have
 Occurred on Town Plot.
 An entirely reliable citizen of our city, who does not wish to have his name used, was driving Sunday after noon with friend, in the western part of the city. Having gone up West Side hilly they turned to the left, just beyond the old Broughton place, as it is called, and on the road to French's brick yard. When they had driven along some dis tance, they saw three men standing in the road ahead of them and anoI her lying on the ground. The man who was down was bleeding from the mouth and right side. His companions seeing the carriage approach, lifted him from the ground. Near him lay a sword, and few feet away, against the fence, stood another sword, which one of the men ran and got. The three men seized their wounded companion and carried him from the road, keeping their faces hidden as much as possible. None of them were known to the gen. tleman in the carriage and as he did not want to be mixed up in the affair, he did not stop to make any inquiries. 'EThe natural inference" he said to a re- porter, ''seemed to be that a duel had been fought

 RICHMOND, Va, April g. - "Love laughs at lOcksmiths," but not always at irate fathers shotguns, as was proved by case of interrupted elopement in Amherst.
 Mir. Wood, who resides near Loves vile, is the father of 8 very handsome daughter. Sunday morning this young lady attended Sunday school at a church some distance from her home. After the session the lover of the young lady named Campbell, appeared on the scene in company with two companions, and the party started for the nearest railroad station to take the train for Washington, weere the young couple were to be mar ried.

 The young lady's father heard of the runaway and, mounting his horse and arming himself with 8 shotgun, galloped in pursuit. He overlook the party near Amherst Court House and opened fire. The two companions of the lover imme- diRtely put spurs to their horses and have not been seen since. The other animal, tired of carrying double, bucked, and the young lady losing her seat, fell to the ground. Her would-bo husband, fearing that he would be riflsd with bird shot, followed his flying chums into the the village and sought shelter behind 8 rock wall.
 He was afterwand arrested by the county authorities and fined for disturb ing the peace. The young lady's father remounted his horse, took the young lady up behing him and, placing his weapons across the pommsl, returned homeward.

 PoUGHKEEPsE, N. F., April 5.-Annie O'Connell, of this city, the ,17-Year-old wife of Daniel J. O'Connell, @ canvasser of the Scribner Publishing Company, applied at police headquarters here for the arrest of her husband for abandon ment.
 The couple were married here by Rev. c. H. Honnoburgh, April 8, 1890, the bride being pretty Annie Place. O'Con- nell took her to Chicago, from where he sent her back to Poughkeepsie, saying that he would follow. He came after several months, but went away again.
 The next the young wife learned of him was a statement to the effect that Daniel J. O'Connell had died in Q police station in Jersey City.
 Mrs. O'Connell believed the story in the paper and mourned her husband as dead until he suddenly appeared in Poughkeepsie last January. He ex- plained to his wife that it was William Harris, a well known Poughkeepsian, who had died in Jersey City, which was actually the case.
 O'Connel took his wife to New York, and then, after @ short time, sent her back. She has not heard from him since. She says that he often told her that he had another wife and child in New York.
