Father Arnaud, who collected sew

and then squandered the money in
riotous living and the violation of
his vows of celibacy. His drunken

This is the second case of the kind
for Avoyelles within ten years.

Value Of Toes In Walking.

The idea that tho lesser toes are neces-
sary in walking is generally entertain
ed, and it has been a surprise to Euro
pean physicians to learn that amputa-
ton Of all the lesser toes of both feet
has been followed by complete recovery
and the restoration to usefulness of both
the feet operated upon. The feet healed
slowly after the operation, but very
steadily and without unpleasant COM
plications. The operation was perform
ed, and in little more than year and
half the patient danced all night and
experienced no inconvenience whatever
on account of having only one toe on
each foot. She rides wheel, plays ten
mis- and enjoys every sport that girls Of
her age are fond Of The cause of the
trouble was originally chilblains which
was neglected until it produced con-
traction Of the muscles with the most
intense pain, which was at times so
severe that she could not enjoy the
necessary amount of sleep. Surgeons are
of the opinion that great deal of need
less suffering is endured which might
be relieved by extremely simple opera
tions on the feet.-New York Ledger

An Example Of o,connell,s wit.

Daniel O'Connell, though brilliant
and witty, was daringly vulgar when
he set out to attack an opponent. At a
Dublin election he started to assail Re-
corder Shaw, who was a very dignified
and handsome man, by declaring him
fellow whose visage would brighten a
horse from his oats. The lord mayor,
who presided, remarked on these ameni-
ties and said it might be supposed such
critic, like Hamlet's father, was en-
dowed with Hyperion curls and the
front of .Jove himself, instead of a
wrinkled brow and scratch wig. AS
for himself, he would not be unwilling
to compete with the demagogue before
a jury of ladies if they could only see
him as nature made him without the
aid of the barber. O'Connell strobe to
the front Of the platform, snatched off
his wig and pointing to his naked head
covered with stubble of gray hair,
cried, Ladies' demand your instant
judgment!' OF course he had the laugh
and the best of the encounter. San

MRS. Proudie, the excellent wife Of
the bishop of Copeminster, down in the
midlands, does admirable work by 60
ing among the poor people and talking
to them out of her own experiences and
giving them wholesome advice. She did
SO the other day at Mudbury, near Cope
minister. Next day the rector's daughter
at Mudbury said to one Of the audience
Of the previous evening, Well, Mrs.
Toddle, what did you think of Mrs.
Proudie's address, oh, it was very
good; but, you see she only went half
way. Whatever do you mean, Mrs.
Toddle?' said the young woman. Well,
miss, she didn't tell us what she does
when Mr.. Proudie comes home drunk.
We should like a little advice on that
ERE point. -

Satan at Camp Meeting.

We will call him Bishop Simmons.
During the afternoon the younger min
listers had listened to him with venera-
ton and respect, and when their turn
came they found him dignifed and
careful listener.
The afternoon was delightful and the
camp meeting service was a long one.
The good bishop was keen lover of the
weed, and after the meeting had closed
he strolled off for smoke At little
distance he found an abrupt ledge en-
tirely out of the view of the camp
grounds, and going down around to the
foot of this he lit his cigar and prepared
for quiet half hour.
AS it CHANGED, soon after one of the
younger ministers took walk from the
grounds, and finally came to the top of
the same ledge, and, looking down, saw
the bishop
For the space Of moment or two he
stood with CLEAN in his eye, and then,
STOPPING down, he said in a sort of tri-
umphant tone:
'Ah, Father Simmons, I've caught
you burning incense to the devil
The bishop took out his cigar and
turned about till he had swung the
speaker fully into view, and then added
slowly in deep voice:
"But didn't know he was so near. "

Art of Making a Mustard Plaster.

To put on a mustard plaster is not at
all difficult, but to do it in the best way
requires some care and skill. In the
first place, remember never to give a
cold mustard plaster to patient. To a
weak or sensitive person the shock is
often great Either mix with very hot
water, or, better still, have plate put
where it can get warm while you are
mixing. Having everything ready at
hand, mustard, -four and spoonful Of
molasses, with bit of old muslin or
linen-an old handkerchief is the best
thing for the purpose. Stir the mustard
and flour together first, making the
plaster stronger or weaker with mus
tard as you have been directed. Add
the molasses and then the water until
the smooth mass is about as thick as
porridge or poultice. Spread your cloth
on the warm plate, using the middle
portion of the linen and leaving mar
gin ON all sides, which is to be folded
back at the edges. Put second cloth
over the whole, so that the mustard is
entirely hid between the two covers and
keep on the plate until it is necessary
to apply the plaster. Philadelphia
