"Wool and sheep growers were never
more depressed and demoralized in their
work and in the outlook for the future
than they have been during the past year,

the whole matter as to abandon all hope

Cleanliness In One Home.

Alexander Selkirk resides in Detroit,
and, strange to say, his wife's maiden
name is Robinson. She is, take her "a
in a, the very pink O. perfection. When
he comes hame at e'en, he is obligated
to take off his boots in the passage. She
hands him his slippers. When he puts
them on, he jumps frae ae mat to an
ither till he reaches his chair. When
he sits doom to supper, she ties bib
round his neck and twa or three nap
kins on his knees. If a mOrsel o beef
or bread should happen to fa' on the
floor, she directs his attention to it and
informs him that a guilty conscience
needs nae accuser. Her stove shines as
bright as her coal black eye, and her
tinware sparkles Oh the wall like dia-
mOnds in the darkness.
When he is sitting on chair, she
will not permit his back to touch the
back of it. He sits bolt upright. In a
private conversation he said: Sir, my
wife bangs "a; she is the trigest wife
ever saw. In her pernickety ways
sometimes think that she is just rather
to the rather. Yet wi a her faults
l wad be as mad as a March hare if
Onybody was ignorant enough to apply
to her the auld saying that a clean
glove sometimes covers dirty hand"

ChicagO's Bottle Craze.

A curious fancy in bric-a-brac has
furnished one man the foundation of a
moderate fortune within the last year.
He has a store on State street, near
Fourteenth, and used to limit his trans
actions to the purchase and sale of old
bottles. Druggists and barkeepers were
his principal customers, but now one
may see fashionable carriages at the
door on almost any bright day, and he
will tell you that the wealthy and peo-
pie whose tastes run to odd ornaments
are regular visitors there. They buy
odd shaped bottles and jugs of all sorts
and pay handsomely for such treasures
as old Dutch wares in blue or the quaint
decorated bottles in which various
liquors and mixtures are imported.
Glazed jugs of fine finish and drinking
mugs such as the Germans showed at
Jackson park last summer have become
almost craze and bring three or four
times their former value.-Chicago

West Indianapolis was in session few
nights ago Justice of the Peace Allen,
who was present, was summoned to
perform marriage ceremony. The
contracting parties were Mr.. John Per-

the bride on Bridge street. When Mr..
Allen entered the house, he was in
formed that it was desired by both par
ties that the ceremony be short one.
Mr.. Allen promptly tied the knct. Mr..

his pocket to note the time consumed in
the ceremony, startled them all by an

HIS SILENT BRIDE.
She Vowed Never to Speak to Hin Again,
but Married Him just the Same.

she vowed Never to Speak to Hin again.
but Married Him just the Same.
About IS months ago Mrs. Cartel was
Miss Fannie Brambley, a beautiful
young lady of IS years, and Jerry Car
tell was her favored suito<. But, as is
generally the case with young lovers,
a quarrel arose between them, and in
the heat OF passion Miss Fannie angrily
bade her lover leave her presencs and
vowed by high heaven she would never
speak to him again. The disconsolate
lover took his departure, but as he fair
ly worshiped the girl he ardently set
about to effect a reconciliation. At
last in answer to pitiful, pleading let
ter Miss Fannie relented and penned to
him loving, forgiving message.
Oyerjoyed at the happy termination
of affairs, he hurried to the home of Miss
Fannie and was received warmly and
affectionately, but without word Of
welcome. Taking tablet and pencil
from desk, she began a written cover
sation as though she could not speak a
word. She is very devout, member of
the Methodist church, and was firmly
impressed with the idea that if she
should break her rash VOW God would
punish her by striking her dumb, when
she could speak to no one.
The courtship proceeded with pencil
and paper for several months, and then
they were joined together in the holy
bonds of matrimony. During their
married life of nearly year Mrs. Car
tell never spoke to her husband until
some days ago.
Last Christmas Mr.. Cartel made his
wife present of handsome and costly
pair of vases. The other morning the
husband was bringing in an armful of
wood and struck one of the vases and
knocked it to the floor, where it broke
into hundred pieces.
"Oh, Jerry, look what you have
done" cried Mrs. Cartel.
She was horribly shocked at speaking
to her husband and believed that she
had been stricken dumb. To ascertain
the correctness of her belief she spoke
to him again and was overjoyed to dis
cover that her organs of speech had not
been in the least impaired.
In the happiness of again hearing his
wife speak to him Jerry folded her in
his arms, wept tears of joy and thanked
God for the breaking of the vase. Mr..
and Mrs. Cartel feel as if cloud had
been lifted from their home, and there
is not a happier couple today in Dyer
county. y.-Trimble (Tenn.) Correspond

Measuring Hardness.

For determining the hardness or fria-
bility of certain substances NJ. Rosiwal
has described to the Vienna academy a
new method devised by him which is
characterized by entire simplicity. The
measurements consist in comparing the
losses of weight sustained by the bodies
under investigation by scratching them
with given weight of polishing ma
terial mounted on a metallic or glass
base until the substance loses its eff
cheney, the polishing appliances COM
prising dolomitic sand, emery and pure
corundum. The diamond is assigned
its place in the scale of hardness by
comparing its effectiveness as a polish
ing agent with that of corundum, prov
ing 40 times as hard as the latter, and
to these succeed topaz, 1874: quartz, 175; {;
adularia, 500; apatite, SO; flourspar,
GA; calcite, Sc; rock salt, 30, and

A Simple Fire Escape.

A simple, easily procured, inexpen-
sive and practical means of escape from
upper stories may be found in stout
duck sack and strong MANILA rope.
The sack should be deep and wide
enough TO hold several persons and have
a rope well bound around the top to
which the rope bail is attached. If no
appliance be provided TO hold a stout
sail across the window on the inside,
then several wraps must be taken around
some article of furniture, wife and
children dumped into the sack, the hus-
band paying out the rope and letting
them down. The sack is then drawn
up, when the remaining occupant goes
into the sack with the slack end of the
rope, and paying it out lets himself
down. Rope and sack Will pass unhurt
past considerable sheets of flame from
windows below, and if occasionally
treated TO strong solution of alum wa
ter, or even strong brine, are of difficult
ignition. Tue deep sack dispels the feel
ing of fear in not beholding the dizzy
height and also protects from flame in
passing "ihuO"o. Livery NlHUO" ouOuIu

rope enough to allow all the paying out

on the ground. Private instructions

cupant should be made familiar with

THE OLD HARPOONER.
A Bn Of the Poetry That Has Gone Out Of
Whaling Life.

The gallant seaman who in all the
books stands in the Prov of whaling
boat waving a harpoon over his head,
with the line shaking out into the air
behind him, is only TO be found now in
Paternoster row. The Greenland seas
have not known him for more than
hundred years, since first the obvious
proposition was advanced that one could
shoot both harder and more accurately
than one could throw. The swivel gun.
like huge horse pistol, with its great
Oakum wad and % drains of powder, is
a more reliable but far less pictur-
esque object.
But to aim with such a gun is an art
in itself, as will be seen when one con-
siders that the rope is fastened TO the
neck of harpoon, and that as the mis-
sile flies the downward drag of this rope
must seriously defect it. So difficult is
it TO make sure of ones aim, that it is
the etiquette of the trade to pull the
boat right onto the creature, the Prov
shooting up its soft, gently slOping side
and the harpooner firing straight down
into its broad back, into which not only
the four foot harpoon but 10 feet of the
rope behind it will disappear. Then,
should the whale cast its tail in the air
after the time honored fashion of the
pictures, that boat would be in evil case,
but fortunately when frightened or hurt
it does no such thing, but curls its tail
up underneath it, like a cowed dog. and
sinks like a stone. Then the bows
splash back into the water, the harpoon
er hugs his own soul, the crew light
their pipes and keep their legs apart,
while the line runs merrily down the
middle of the boat and over the bows.
There are two miles of it there, and a
second boat will lie alongside to splice
on if the first should run short, the end
being always kept loose for that pur-
pose. And now occurs the one serious
danger of whaling. The line has usu-
ally been cOiIed when it was wet, and
in loops, which whiz down the boat
between the mems legs. A man lassoed
in one of these nOoses is gone and fifty
fathoms deep before the harpooner has
time to say, where's Jock?" Or if it
be the boat itself which is caught then
down it goes like cork on trout line,
and the man who can swim with a
whaler's high boots on is swimmer in
deed. Many whale has had Par
THAN revenge in this fashion. Some
years ago a man was whisked over with
a blight of rope round his thigh.
George, man, Alec's gone!' shrieked
the boat steerer, heaving up his ak to
cut the line. But the harpoOner caught
his wrist. INA, ma, num-" he cried,
''the oil money'll be good thing for
the widdie." And so it was arranged
while Alec shot on upon his terrible
journey. A. Conan Doyle in McClure's s
Magazine.

The Father of Congressman BrOokshire Is

A Charlottesville Qnd.) correspondent
says: "There is man living nine miles
south of this city who, though in the
best of health, has given his orders for
his coffin. His name is Drake Brook
shire. He is the father of Hon. E. V.
Brookshire, the Democratic congress-
man from this, the Eighth. district. Mr..
Brookshire weighs $50 pounds, has al
ways lived upon farm, enjoyed the
best of health, having never been sick
day in his life, and is now 81 years of
age. The other day he came to town
and went to an undertaking establish
ment and informed the proprietor that
he wanted to purchase a coffin. The
,ietor, after asking who was dead,
rs greatly astonished on being told
j, .paic it was for the live man standing
before him.
"Mr. Brookshire, however, quieted
him by saying that he did not intend to
die until he had to, but that he wanted
to die with the knowledge that there
was coffin already made for him in
which he would have plenty of room.
The undertaken did not seem to know
just what to do, and Mr.. Brookshire,
seeing his embarrassment, laid down
upon the floor and ordered his measure
ment taken. The coffin will be made of
two inch oak, firmly bolted together,
and will be feet inches long, 3 feet
wide and 21a feet deep. After the coffin
is made Mr.. Brookshire will try it and
see if it fits him. He also says that he
desires to be taken to the graveyard in
his farm wagon, drawn by his team of
favorite mules"

Looks out on me as from passing cloud,
Till forget they clad thee in thy shroud
And laid thee sleeping in thy faroff place.
So once again the tender, healing grace
OF thy dear presence is TO me allowed.
Wilt thou not bless the head before thee
bowed?
Wilt not thy voice thrill through the empty
space?
How lone and cold the world without thee

Regaining thee, how warm it is and bright
Yet all in vain 10 reach thee do / seek,

And thou art silent as the silent night.
With tears / call thee, yet thou dost not
