How Ono Man Felt the Influence OF Free

A little local story has come to light
showing how this FREQ silver agitati9a
has hurt business for one man in u:s
city of Jackson. Some months ago To-
cal life insurance man went to Que of tho
ting him to insure his life. BY dint of
frequent visits and much talk the agent
got the gentleman to promise to take out
policy i'll his company, the premiums
on which would have beou something
like s 900 per year.
Tho day was set To close the contract
md sign the papers. Now it is we'll
known that this agent is great free sill
Yer Innn and talks it wherever ho goes
When hc went TO close tho bargain, the
rich man said TO him: II have been
thinking about this free silver business
and | dislike to take out such Il large
policy. don't know but that this free
silver will carry, and then my people
will be paid off in cheap money 1t is
too much Of risk ut this time Tho
agent, who had had visions of big fat
commission looming up before him. be-
gan to get uneasy and talked with might
and main and told the rich man that
this free silver business was ali talk and
there was not the slightest danger in
the world of its ever becoming II law.
He put up mighty pretty talk, and
tried all persuasions ut his command on
the prospective policy holder, but all to
no avail The gentleman was firm and
said under the condition of things now
existing he could not afford TO have his
family paid off i'll deprecated currency
und refused to take ont the policy. This
is only Il sample of what tho free silver
agitation is doing for tho country

RAlNEO FRIED FISH,

Sufferers Wore Fed.
One of the most remarkable stories of
fish falling from the clouds comes from
Kushequa. small village near Brad
ford, Pa. which was burned by the for
est fires
On the last day of the fires, when the
people of the Kinzua valley were worn
ont with fatigue and hunger, the rain
they had prayed for appeared. With it
came shower of fish, some OF them 10
inches long.
They covered the ground in all direc-
tions. AS they foil on the hot earth and
among tho burning embers of the forest
they became cooked
The people, when praying for rain,
had not asked for fish; but, thinking it
was miracle of Providence To provide
them with food when everything eata-
BILE III the settlement had been burned,
the humble men of tho forest tasted the
fish and fonnd them good.
After eating all they could the forest
ers gave thanks. To their neighbors
they said nothing about tho case, fear
ing they would be laughed at.
The story is younhcd for by reliable
persons. Many people think the fish

Of the scenery to the strange behavior
of an old horse confined in pasture by
the roadside. The creature seemed
bent upon attracting the clergyman's
notice; it pranced, snorted and beat the
fence with its forefeet, keeping all the
time in line with the slowly moving
cbaise Wondering little as TO the
cause of such singular conduct, the
clergyman drove along to the pasture,
and then turned from it down n road
which branched off in an opposite di-
rection. AS he did SO, he was startled
by cry of such human agony from the
poor creature in the pasture that he in
stantly stopped his horse and looked
back.
There, at the corner of the fence, she
stood, her neck thrust despairingly for
ward, trembling in every muscle of her
body, her eyes fixed upon him with an
expression of utter, helpless misery,
which strangely moved the tender
hearted clergyman. He now discovered
that the head and face of the animal
bore marked resemblance to his lost
Diana. Impressed by the likeness he
obeyed sudden impulse, and drove
rapidly back to farmhouse near the
pasture, where he found the farmer
just getting up from his twelve o'clock
dinner.
Friend" said the clergyman, sis
that your horse in the field yonder?"
Eyes, the mares mine. I've had her
about twenty years."
Twenty years! May / ask where
you got her, friend?"
~ bought her of a peddler who cheat
ed my wife on a gingham gown, but he
didn't cheat me on that horse"
Diana! AS sure as I'm alivew cried
the clergyman, starting cxcitedly for
the pasture, followed by the astonished
farmer. He entered the field, and the
moment the old mare caught sight OF
him she rushed wildly forward, snort
ing with delight. Old and faded, rough
and lame, the clergyman still unmis-
takably recognized his lost beauty; and
oh, the JOY of Diana! Tenderly she
licked her masters hands and face, low
ingly nestled her head upon his Shout
der, and at last, with something like
her old coquettish ways, took the rim
of his hat daintily between her teeth,
and, lifting it from his head, replaced
It hindside before.-Our Dumb An

A Hen That KlIls Mice.

Councilman Samuel Bell, horse Inn
porter of Wooster, o., has Minorca
pullet that takes as much delight in
catching rats and mice as cat or dog.
The hen was raised with litter of fox
terriers, and from being associated
constantly with the dogs has acquired
their hatred for the rodents. She will
tackle the largest kind, and, while she
has never killed a large one, will keep
them at bay until the dogs come TO her
relief. She has killed many half
grown ones. She seems to know that
the big rats are too much for her. II

THE STOLEN HORSE.

Anectionateiy Remembers Its Master
After Twenty Years Absence.
There lived in Auburn, N. Y, some
sixty years ago, a clergyman, an init
mate friend of my grandmother. This
gentleman owned an exceedingly beau
tiful, fleet and graceful sorrel mare,
which bore the classic name of Diana.
She was the admiration of the town
and the pride of the clergyman's fam
fly. But, alas! one dark and stormy
night the barn was boldly entered, and
the beautiful Diana stolen from her
stall. All efforts to discover the clever
thief, though long and perseveringly
continued, were useless. At last the
family sorrowing abandoned hope; an
other, but inferior, horse was pur-
chased, to which, by the way, the chill
dren would not allow any occupancy Of
the old stall of their pet, for that, with
everything else that belonged to her,
they insisted upon keeping sacred to
her memory.
Nearly twenty years had passed, the
clergyman's hair had grown white with
age, and his children had become young
men and women, when he CHANGED one
autumn to be called on business to a
remote part of the state. Having an
easy chaise, he made the trip, as not
uncommon in those days, by private
conveyance. He was riding slowly
along winding road on the third
morning of his journey, when his at
tcntion was forced from the beauties

USES OF CITRIC ACID.
It Often Serves as a Substitute for Lemon
Juice.

It Often Serves as a Substitute for Lemon
Juice.
Enormous quantities of citric acid
are used in calico printing, in phar-
macy, and in the preparation of artlfi-
cial lemonade. About an ounce and a
quarter (six hundred and seventy
a pint of water gives solution which
has the average acidity of good lemon
juice. When diluted with several
times its bulk of water, sweetened
with sugar, and scented with single
drop of essence of lemon, an artificial
lemonade is cheaply produced, which
Is much used as cooling drink in fever
hospitals.
1t has also been used in the navy as
substitute for fresh lemon juice in
the treatment or prevention Of scurvy,
but has been found much less efficient.
In fact, this artificial lemonade is by
no means equal to that made from pure
lemon juice, whether used at table or
for invalids. In rheumatism, or rheu-
matte govt, the fresh juice of the lemon
is preferred on account of the bicitrate
of potash which it contains. Pure
lemon juice is also valuable remedy
in sore throat and diphtheria; cases
have been recorded in which children
have apparently been cured of this ter
rible disease by constantly sucking
oranges or lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like some
other acids, the power of destroying
the bad effects Of polluted water used
for drinking; but it is perhaps best to
boil the water before adding little
citI;c acid to it.-Chambers' Journal.
