A Woman Of Business.

We we're camping alongside of an en-
igrant train in Nebraska, and just alter
supper a woman about forty years of age,
who was smoking pipe, came over 10
our fire, sized the crowd up, and said
"I've got sometbin to say. I'm a
plain.spoken woman. When I've got &
thing on my mind | don't beat around
the bush"
We looked at her with curiosity and
surprise, and she leaned against the
wheel of a wagon and continued:
"I've been widder + three yaers.-
Over thar I've got span of nevis, a
good hoss, new wagon filled with house
keepin' stuff, and | kin rake up about
$50 in cash. | cum along with the party
to take up claim. I'm good-lempeI ed, /,
healthy, and can swing an axe or hold a
plow with most anybody. As | said.
I'm a plain-spoken woman. Ii there's a
critter among you that wants to get mar
ried, let him stand up while lake look
at him"
The eleven of us promptly stood up.
"Git into line" she continued with a
wave of her hand. IL hain't after beau
ty or eedecashun, but cant take up
with a fellow who'd skeer a wolf To
death"
She passed down the line and then re-
turned half way, and said TO a middle
aged man Of the name Of Remington:
You'll do, | reckon. Vhere's a
preacher in camp, aud 'twont take ff-
teen minutes to settle things. All OF
you as want to see the marrying come
on"
We followed the couple, who were
made man aud wife inside of twenty
minutes, and next morning as we passed
the wagon on the road the woman looked
out and bowed and said
Sorry for the other Ten of ye but per
haps you'll meet up with the other train
soon and strike luck"

A good story of Gen. John c. Breck-
inridge is said to have been told by him
self, with evident relish, not long before
his death. In talking to some friends
about the many kindnesses which had
been shown him by his people and the
pleasant things which we're said to him.
he remarked that he valued as highly as
as any compliment he had ever received
one which all old Kentucky farmer paid
him during the war, which had come 10
his ears only short time before.
1t was the custom in war times, as 1t
has always been since, for the country
people to come into the county town ON
Saturday afternoon to exchange news
gathered during the week.
At one of these gatherings in a store
in Richmond, KY, just after the battle
of Chickamauga, one of the men said he
had heard some grand news. Upon be-
ing pressed TO tell it, he said gravely:
"I did hear that thar has been a most
powerful fight down in Tennessee, and
they say that for long time it went
mighty agiu our folks. but that then Mr..
Brackinridge come forrad and asked the
privilege of the field for just fifteen min
ules, and they do say that he slew S0,0OOT
Which statement was received with
due respect by the assembled company
although it appeared to occasion slight
ripple of surprise, much to the rarraIor'c
satisfaclion.-Y Youths { ompanion.

The Common Enemy.

The immediate eff'ct of moderate
amount of alcohol is feeling of iucreas-
ed vigor. Ideas are increased IN quick
ness, but lose in concentration. The sys-
tenn soon demands the siimulant more
frequently. Abstinence is followed by
suffering. The hand loses its sieadiness,
the brain its clearness. Insomnia adds
to the drain OH nervous forces and
the patient instiuciively resorts for re-
lief to the poison which is the direct
cause of of his condition. In time these
SYMPTOMS become intensified, and evil
dences of chronic degeneration mani
fest themselves. Scarcely an organ III
the body is exempt. Alcohol in the
stomach retards digestion ny paralyzlng
terminal nerves and by chemical ac-
linn on the pepsin Of the gastric juice,
produces changes in The secretions OF
the liver, and viliates the processes
throughout the whole alimenlary tract
by causing a perverted action of the
sympathetic nervous system. Partially
digesied food passing from the stomach
To the intesiines becomes subjected TO
abnormal lamentations. As result,
poisonous products designated by modern
chemists us ptoniaines and leuc0maiues
are formed. Elimination is retarded by
alcohol consequently these products are
absorbed into the system and an auto.
poisoning results. The lungs and skin
undertake TO assist in relieving the sys-
tenn of etfete material, rs shown by the
peculiarly disagreeable odor of breath
and perspiralion persisiing for days after
cessation from The use of alcohol. These
patients will be found to suffer from
chronic caiarrh of most of The mucous
membrane, notably the stomach, chronic
liver kidney change leading TO chirrhosis
and Bright's disease. Degenera ion and
resultant weakening of the walls of blood

The year grows still again. The surging wax

Late blooms OF second childhood in his hair.
He tries old magic like dntard mage;
Tries spell and spell, to weep aud try again,
Yet not a d 4isy hears aud everywhere
The heigerow rattles like an empty cage,
He hath no pleasure in the silken skies.
Nor delicate ardors of the yellow land
Yea dead. for all its gold. the woodland lies,
And all the throats of music filled with sand,
Neither to him across the stubhle field

Or all his shaken laurels on his head.

4 Reversible Waie,Jau.

The most picturesque, rs we'll rs the
most striking manifestation of the tidal
rise and fall is at the mouth of the 81.
John River, at St. John, New Brunswick.
Here NAV be witnessed on every tide a
change of conditions as sudden aud as
complete as quick change of scene in
drama; the beauty of the landscape, en-
hanced by the handiwork of man, adding
greatly to the impressveness Of the phe-
nomenon. This is locally known as the
reversible falls" although reversible
rapids" would be more appropriate. In
a map of St. John and its environs. drawn
in 1874 by an officer of the ST. johns
LpyaIists, the matter is referred to in a
marginal note:
"The falls in this river are justly rank
ed among the curiosities of the world {;
they are at the mouth Of the river, about
one mile from the entrance, and are nav
igable four times in twenty four hours,
which commands great attention, as only
few minutes are required TO pass in
safety.
"The tide rising from twenty to twenty
four feet, at high water is six to eight
feet higher than the river. which occa.
Sums fall in the river rs well as out. the
whole water OF the country having to
pass between two rocks sixty yards dis
tant"
The scene Of these rapids is beautiful
gorge through which, in remote ages, the
river appears to have forced its way
Tor twenty minutes on each ebb aud
food the river here is as placid as a
mountain lake on Tranquil day. Sud
denly slreak of white spreads across the
gorge, and in few minules the calm Is
succeeded by the turmoil OF rush ng,
whirling waters. The reflections of the
rocky shores and of the graceful outlines
Of The suspension aud canliIever bridges
which span the mouth Of the gorge are
obliterated as if mirror bad suddenly
been ruthlessly shattered.-ScrioTlef

A Snake Story.

81 got my start in queer way. re-
NAKED man of evident wealth, as the
drummer finished a story, says the De.
troit Free Press.
"How was that?" inquired the drum
mer.
twenty-five years ago" continued the
successful citizen. IL was travelling with
side show and the business went 10
pieces, leaving me its creditor for wagef
to the amnunt of one hundred dollars.
"My share of the stock in trade was an
anaconda about eighteen feet long and
as big around as my body. Ii wasn't fat
though, | think, for the air was about
the only thing it had to live on for sever
al weeks before the failure.
al took the snake and started for St.
Louis, where proposed to exhibit it. L
had him in box in the baggage car. and
somehow he got out and stared through
the train on an exploring expedition.
"Just as he was crossing the platforms
of the second and third coaches the coup
lings came loose, and there is no telling
what would have happened, for we were
going up heavy mountain grade, If the
snake hadn't twisted himself around the
break rods and raiings and hung on.
Z" 1t was big strain on him, but he
stuck to it and I'm lawyer if he didn't
hold that train together for two miles.
and no doubt saved the lives of all the
passengers in the rear coaches. They
thought so, anyhow, and made me up a
purse of FIVE hundred dollars"
The drummer coughed.
"What became of the anaconda p he
inquired casually.
"He gave me my start" replied the
narrator. "Yuu see, the five hundred
dollars wasn't drop in the bucket, but
when we got the snake loose the strain
on him had stretched him out twenty
feet longer, aud | went into St. Louis
with snake that no other exhibitor
could hold candle to. and if you don't
believe me | can show you that snake
stuffed and hung up in my hall at Den
ver."
The drummer got up with the air of q
man who was uneasy.
"You ought to sell it for telegraph
pole," he said reproachfully and wenl
out.
