Refused Her Because Sac crIed.

A wedding was once stopped in
the following curious manner: The
people were well to do farmers. The
day was fixed, breakfast prepared,
carriages waiting at the door. All
things were ready. The bridegroom
drove up to the house and ran in to
see his bride before he started for
the chapel. He found her weeping,
as brides often do when they leave
home. And who would believe it if
they read it in romance?
The bridegroom coldly informed
the young lady that ''if that was the
way she was going to begin it would
be the end of it," He left the bride
ma dead faint, left the house and
drove away. 1t was the end Of it in
more ways than one. There was an
action for breach Of promise The
young lady died of a broken heart,
lie afterward married three wives
IN rapid succession, Every few
years he crossed my path, and | have
reason to know that his life was far
Bits. -

TYPHOID FEVER.
Only Boiling o. c.siaI Destroys the
cerr G. sns Disos.e.

Only Boiling O. C;.isJ Destroys the
cerr c. sns Oisos.e.
It is wci known ttat typhoid
fever is a water borno direasc, and is
commonly ta.oair,o tic system in
drinking water which has become
contaminated from the excreta Of
persons suffering from the disease.
Freezing does not in any way inn
pair the vitality of the bacillus Of
typhoid, so that ice from a river or
pond may convey the disease to con
sumers hundreds of miles, perhaps,
from the source of infection.
Milk has more than once been the
means of conveying the disease
Fortunately most milk dealers are
aware of the necessity of cleanliness
in the preparation of milk for ship
ment In most modern dairies the
bottles before being filed are sub
jected to the sterilizing effects Of
steam. Epidcmics Of typhoid fever
traced to dairies have in most cases
been due to the bottles having been
washed with water from an infected
well or pond.
Oysters that have been imbedded
in bodies of water which receive the
contents of sewerage pipes have
likewise been the means Of convey
ing typhoid fever Only oysters
eaten raw or on the half shell can
carry infection to the consumer,
since cooking destroys the bacillus.
A pure water supply is rightly
looked upon as one Of the greatest
essentials to the healthfulness of a
community. Many foods-salads,
for eXample-cannot be cooked or
subjected to the effects of high
temperature, while, on the other
hand, washing them in infected
water may render them the means
of conveying disease.
Among the chief ways Of prevent
ing typhoid fever must be mention
ed the care Of the stomach itself.
It seems highly probable that the
natural juices of the healthy stom-
ach are able to destroy many germs
of disease but the number which
any stomach may be able to digest
and thus render its owner safe from
attack must always be uncertain,
and it is not desirable to test its ca
pacity in this direction.
The fact that only certain persons
out of a number who have partakon
of food or drink infected with dis
ease germs may suffer is explainablo
on the ground of their different gem
eral physical condition or of the
varying states Of their digestive
organs.
Boiling or cooking in any form
destroys all germ life, and food OF
drink about which there is ques-
tion Of typhoid infection should be
subjected to one Of these processes
before it is taken into the stomach

Easy Tricks You May Teach Dog
With a Little Care.

Jumping is the easiest thing to
teach your dog. First, put him in
a corner and hold a cane before him
so that he cannot get ont without
leaping over 1t. You must not hold
it very high or he will crawl under
it; make him hold his head up, how
ever, and you will prevent that.
Keep at it until he understands
what you want, and he will jump
without hesitation. After the trick
has been learned in the corner it
may be tried out in the room.
Later on you may get him to
jump through hoop, and still later
through hoop covered with tissue
paper, making him break through
the paper as he jumps. This will
require a good deal of patience, but
it may be done, and is so odd that
you ought to try it,
Another easy trick is sitting up.
Begin this in a corner Place the
dog in sitting posture with his
back against the walls, and keep him
in that position by tapping him
lightly under the chin; he will soon
understand what you want. Then
try him out in the room. Take hold
of his fore paws and, having raised
him to an upright position, force
him gently down to a sitting posi-
ton, Gradually release his paws
and give him confidence by crying
"Steady, steadyw Reward him by
a little bit Of candy or some other
sweet, and you will soon have him
so that he will assume that position
instantly on your saying "Up~
After you have taught him to "sit
up" you may easily make him stand
erect on his hind legs. Reward him
after every trial, and you will have
no trouble about it. Then you can
make him walk on his hind legs.
Begin this part of the training by
making him stand up, and then
gradually coax him along by offer
ing the sweet, holding it close to his
mouth, but making him keep his up
right position by your commands.
One important thing in teaching
a dog is never to allow him to come
to the end of trick without orders
from you; you must not let him stop
when he pleases. At the same time,
you must be careful not to make
him perform for too long a time
you must not weary him and thus
make him dread the performance.
And another thing, you should
never think of using the whip or of
punishing the dog in any way; kind
ness and patience will accomplish
wonders.

Game of Arch Ball.

Players stand in two or more
lines, single file, players about two
feet apart. The leader throws the
ball backward overhead to the
player behind. If the ball falls to
the ground, the one who fails to
catch it must pick it up and return
to his position in the line before
throwing it. The last one in the
line runs to the front with the ball,
takes his place at the head of the
line and begins over again. The
line wins whose leader first gets
back to the front.

The West PoInt Of Mexico.

In Mexico experience has conclu-
sively shown that officers and even
soldiers cannot be improyised, and
the very first care of General Diaz
has been to establish a good school
for instructing scientific officers.
The military school of Cbapultepec
in its actual condition is the fruit of
his efforts. Many foreign officers
Of different nationalities have visit
ed that establishment and believe
that it ranks among the first in the
comprehensiveness and perfection OF
military instruction there impaired
and in the severe but just discipline
to which the cadets are subjected.

An Opinion.

This anecdote is told of Jules
Janin, a famous dramatic critic.
On the first night of a new play
which was like new wine, in that it
was very bad-the great man sat in
the orchestra and, after a time, re-
posed his massive head upon his
shirt front and slept profoundly
through the rest of the play. Yet
when his criticism appeared it was
what in the present day is called
can awful roast"
To him the aggrieved playwright
fastened and pointed ont the injus-
tice of his criticism.
"Why, Mr.. Janin," said he, "you
slept through three entire acts.
How, then, could you have an opin-
ion ?"
'Not have an opinion" blandly
responded the great man. "Why,
NY good sir, sleep is an opinion"

A western editor has made the
discovery that his town would
soon have population Of 10000
if the people would burn their
catalogues, kill all peddlers and
patronize home merchants. And
then if home merchants would
advertise one.half as assiduously
as the catalogue houses do, nearly
all the mail orders would remain
here at home. People will pat
ronize those who go out after
trade.

The Hint Courteous.

The author of "Life and Sport on
the Pacific Slope" says that in as
semblages where a little patience
and good humor temper what is dis
agreeable the people of the Pacific
slope are at their best.
Once at a performance of some
play several youths we're guying the
principal character, to the annoy
ance of everybody else. Suddenly a
gentleman said to them very polite
ly:
"That lady on the stage is making
so much noise that we cannot hear
what you are saying. But hope we
shall have the pleasure of listening
to your criticisms later, when the act
is over" Silence followed the re-
mark.
AT times something more forcible
is needed. A certain lady had one
day been rudely treated by a minor
railway official. She was very in
dignant and quite at loss for
words. But she had a saving sense
of humor and turned to a stranger
at her elbow.
"Sir," said she, "will you tell this
man what | think of him?"
The stranger, without betraying
the least excitement, said in a mel
ancholy drawl:
"Sir, this lady thinks you are an
understrapper, clothed with little
brief authority, whose only qualii-
cation for the position you occupy is
your extraordinary impudencew
