Mrs. Pepys' Temper.

Being at supper, my wife did say
something that caused me to oppose her
in. She used the word devil, which
vexed me, and, among other things, I
said I would not have her to use that
word, upon which she took me up most
scornfully, which, before Ashwell and
the rest of the world, I know not nova
days how to check, as would hereto
fore, for less than that would have
made me strike her. So that fear
without great discretion shall go near
to lose, too, my command over her, and
nothing do it more than giving her this
occasion of dancing and other pleasures,
whereby her mind is taken up from her
business and finds other sweets besides
pleasing Of me, and SO makes her that
she begins not at all to take pleasure in
me or study to please me as heretofore.

1t Cures Cancer.

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received through the
minister of Ecuador to the United
States specimens of a plant known as
oundurango, found in the province of
Loya, in Ecuador, to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer were ascribed.
The physicians in South America expert
mented on this substance and reported
most wonderful cures. Its virtues are
said to have been discovered by accident.
An Indian had been suffering fearfully
for long time from internal cancer,
and his wife undertook to relieve him
by shortening his life by poison. For
this purpose she selected the cunduran-
go, making decoction Of the bark. To
her astonishment the first dose appeared
to benefit the patient, and by the con-
tinuance of this remedy he was COM
pletely cured in short time.-New

WellingtOn's Greatest Battle.

A hitherto unpublished letter of the
Duke Of Wellington written to Colonel
Wilke, one of the garrison of st. Hell
ena when Napoleon was there, contains
the following interesting reference to
the dukes greatest battle:
They used to call me the sepoy gen.
eral. It is due to my having been a Sc
poy general that I won the battle of
Waterloo. It tai ght me where to place
men with whom could trust the honor
of England and where to place men
who were not SO satisfactory. I had
troops with me at Waterloo in whose
hands the safety and honor of king and
country could well be placed. I had
numbers of others, some of whom
could not trust at all, some could bare
ly trust, and others who were not prop
erly trained. It was owing to the fact
of my having learned in the sepoy wars
to place the best of the men in the parts
Of the field where the greatest courage
and bravery were required, and others
where those qualities were not required,
that I won the battle Of Waterloo. -

Boards and Morals.

A policeman on duty in the Jefferson
Market police court remarked that in
the course Of 18 years service he had
seen great many men brought up on
the charge of insulting women in the
street or elsewhere "They do not re-
semble one another much, - he said,
Except that in every instance they
wear full boards. don't remember Of
ever seeing a clean shaven, thoroughly
smart looking man at the bar OH that
charge. Their whiskers are never trim
med to point either, but always grow
in a struggling or careless way. have
never noted any exception to this, and,
SO far as my opinion goes, think that
any man who gets up in the morning,
takes a bath and shaves himself with a
bit Of cold steel is apt to start out and
be decent, whereas the whiskered man
is not read an article by Chauncey
Depew once, in which he said that the
passing of the cold steel over his face in
the morning always drove the fanciful
ideas Of the night out of his head and
Strengthened him out for hard and
sensible days work. guess there is a
good deal in it, though am not able to
reason these things out as Mr.. Depew
does. But you can go bail for one thing,
and that is, whenever you read in the
papers that man has been arrested for
insulting women you can picture him
in your minds eye as having a shabby
set of whiskers. New York Sun.

Is O Frog q Fish?

Is frog fish? This is the problem
which the officials of the Dominion fish
cry department. have recently had to
consider. Petitions were forwarded to
the department. from the inhabitants of
Northumberland, Ont, praying for a
close season for frogs. Alternative trade
in the shipment of frogs legs had been
done in that county, but it was disoov-
cred that the very time when the frogs
ara spawning is one when the greatest
havoc is wrought among them. Posi-
bly, change will be made in the fishery
laws SO as to embrace frogs The officers
say that in their embryotic stage frogs
are certainly fishes, but later on they
take an amphibious character. Hall

AN AID TO MILKING.

The CGl1egian's Advice to His Father Which
Resulted Disastrously.
A college student in one of our west
ern states returned home after his course
| was finished to find that his father, a
clergyman with a small salary, was
eking out his living by running small
farm. One of the adjuncts Of the farm
was COW, a pretty good animal, which
however, had strong aversion to being
MIXED.
Here was an opportunity for display
of the lately acquired knowledge of the
juvenile collegian.
"Father,' said he, professor q. says
If one will place weight upon a cows
back it will make her give down the
milk
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor G.,
decided to try the simple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing a weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it. But then he
answered the purpose. The COW, how
ever, was still obstinate.
''Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to bis son.
The son did So But the COW, unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displeasures by
rearing and plunging, entirely unmind-
full Of the dignity of the parsonage
astride her spinal column It was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipeds concerned in the transac-
tion.
"Cut the rope, cut the rope!" shout
ed MIR. V. to his dutiful son, meaning
the rope by which he was attached to
the COW.
But the son, being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was fas-
tened to the stanchion. At once avail
ing herself of the liberty thus offered,
the COW took an unceremonious exit
from the stable, and down through tn
street she went. The minister accom-
panied the COW, but in manner not ex
actly beftting the dignity Of his profess
sion.
AS it happened, one Of the sisters of
the congregation was on the street as
the race was in progress. Surprised at
such sight, the good sister cried out,
''Why, Brother ", where are you CO.
ing?"
His sense Of the ludicrous coming to
his aid, Brother V. shouted back: "The
Lord and the COW only know don'tP'
The clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward perch and never at
tempted the feat again.

HE seemed tO1ive In q Charmed Circle and
Went About With No Fear.
@s# In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of los
ing his life Napoleon once said, ttIn
the commencement of my campaigns y
Indeed if further proof were demanded
to show that he did not spare himself
at Toulon it is only necessary to add
that, during the 10 weeks Of it's siege,
Napoleon, in addition to bayonet
sound in his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege Of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
Lost no fewer than four in the same
manner. E.-
During the last days of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, it
is said that the agony of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry of, "Why did the cannon
balls spare map
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought 60 battles, while Caesar
fought but 80. In the early part Of his
career he was utterly reckless of danger
while on the battlefield, and this spirit
Of fearlessness contributed largely to
the love and esteem in which he was
held by his armies. There was curious
belief among the English in Napoleon's
time that he had never been wounded,
and indeed the report was current that
he carefully, if not in a cowardly man
ner, refrained from exposing himself.
Nothing could be more contrary to the
truth, for he was in reality several
times severely wounded, but as he wish
ed to impress upon his troops the belief
that good fortune never deserted him,
and that like Achilles, he was we'll
nigh invulnerable he always made a
secret Of his many dangers. He there
fore enjoined once for all upon the part
Of his immediate staff the most absolute
silence regarding all circumstances of
this nature, fer it is almost impossible
to calculate the confusion and disorder
which would have resulted from the
slightest report or the smallest doubt
relative to his existence. Upon the sin
gle thread of this mans life depended
not only the fate and government of
great empire, but the whole policy and
destiny Of Europe as well.

l struck the water the fish that I had
caught, man eating shark, laid hold
of the calf of my right leg. The pain
was fearful, and I felt myself jerked
rapidly down toward the bottom of the
sea-
In my fall I did not relax my hold
on the line, and as soon as realized my
position knew that my life depended
on my ability to hold on to the cord.
The struggle know was not long, but
to me it seemed like an age. The cord
was fastened to beam in the boat, and
inch by inch gained on my antagonist,
and as soon as appeared on the surface
the boatman came to my assistance. The
shark retained its grip on my leg until
my body was entirely out Of the water,
and even then it did not let go until
the boatman knocked it off with an oar
When was safely on the inside, how

my hook was securely fastened in the

If you want stopper for a bottle Of
acid or any substance that would natu-
rally call for a glass stopper because Of
the danger that the cork would be eaten
up by the contents Of the bottle, take
the cork and steep it in vaseline. It
will then be impervious to acids Of any

Cost of Electric Cooking.

It has been shown by recent expert
ments that there is practically no differ
ence in cost between cooking by cleo
tricity and by coal, while the advan.
tages Of the former method in point OF
comfort, cleanliness and safety are con.
siderable. Of every 100 tons Of coal
burned in an ordinary cooking stove Sc
tons are, it is said, practically wasted,
whereas with electricity the expense is
not so much on the fuel as on labor and
interest on machinery.-Invention.
