Looking Forward,


 ''Good heavens! What does this nursery, where her husband was darn ing stockings, and Haunting a notice of divorce before his eyes.
 The face of the slight though beauti- ful man was blanched and there were traces of recent tears. With dignified wave of the hand he pointed to the door and said: Away, monster! My attor- ney, Charlotte Singerly, will talk for me-
 'But this is cruel, my dear," plead ed the excited wife. "What cause, real or imaginary, have ever given you to institute these proceedings?"
 "What grounds? You know too we'll what grounds. "
 eff you will but name one instance where my behavior, either in public or private, has been such as to give you cause to question my faithfulness, she cried, "I'll pledge you upon my honor as woman that I'll not stand ill the way of the divorce, and will, moreover, volunteer to pay you good alimony."
 The indignant husband stamped his tiny French heel upon the floor. "Madam,'' he said, ''tell mo why you chucked that homely, i'll bred MT. Piebald under the chin yesterday and said that he had lovely eyes? And why did you kiss that bewhiskered MT. Hen craft few days ago? And it has also reached my ears that you have been seen fondling and kissing colored infants ill their mothers arms" The wife smiled in commiseration.
 'Do you only laugh at these wronss?' screamed the irate husband, tearing his wedding ring from his finger.
 "Yes, for you arc so simple, my love"
 "Simple!'
 "Why, yes; am not a candidate fol mayor of this town?"
 ''I believe you are'
 "Wcll, my dear, it is necessary fol all candidates to kiss children, and thei1 fathers, too when they are good enough looking. It is an old custom, wisely adopted. It is as necessary as the second wheel on a bicycle"
 With q cry of joy the husband bounded into his wife's arms, and, burying hi! face in her manly bosom, exclaimed "Oh, am such a silly little goose, yoI know. "-New York Recorder.

'T1re Det11nct:at.
0. and M. T. MALoNEY. puu11aHzns.

MAX EDEI. the German baeteriologist. who recently took bath, and. examining the water for microbes. found that it con- tained 5,s50, ,O00. 900, will probably find fewer when he takes another bath. The wonder is that he should have told of it.
 IT now turns out that the Bannocks who were killed by the men who had them in charge were not violators of the provisions of the treaty with the government, and had done nothing beyond the breaking of laws regulating the occupation of certain hunt ing grounds. The white men who arrested them took the law into their own hands and murdered them without cause It this is really the case, the arrest of these mur' derers is called for.
 THE different cures, while they have done n uch to cure victims of alcoholism, have not proved perfect specific in all cases. Claims are now made that the kols nut, which grows profusely in tropical re- gions, has been found to be a powerful antidose to the poison of alcohol. On in. vestigation in the island of Jamaica it hal been further found that kola does >no merely allay the immediate effects of al coho!ic over indulgence. but counteracts thu permanent and therefore far more serious waste of nervous tissue. This property may possibly, on furtber careful expert meDt, be found to be the most useful ont of all. For it is clear, in view of the evilt resulting in the world from the curse o alec hol, if @ real antidote to the poison car be indicated. it will be of infinite value That nature should herself provide an an tidote to the poison of alcohol is Very probable. A scientific investigation ints the peculiar action of the kola nut on thu nerve centres when affected by alcohol, a, crudely observed by the natives of thu West Indies. may therefore lead to exceed ingly useful results.
