Swallowing Salt Water.

One Of the most beneficial features OF
a sea bath is the salt water inadver'
tently swallowed by bathers. 1t Is q
wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach
and kidneys. In many cases 1t will
cure biliousness when all drug prepare
tons have failed. 1t is peculiarly ef'
fective in ordinary cases Of Indigestion
disordered stomach and insomnia and
has been known to produce excellent
results in many cases Of dyspepsia.
Clean sea water is full Of tonic and
sedative properties. 1t won't hurt any
body. Indeed two or three big swal.
lows Of it would be Of positive benefit
to nine bathers out Of ten. 1t Is not
of course. a palatable or tempting dose
to take, but neither is quinine or Gallo
mel. You seldom II ever see an old
sailor who is bilious or dyspeptic or O
victim to insomnia, and why? For the
reason that an ocean Of good medicine
spreads all about his sky. and he doses
himself copiously with 1t whenever his
physical mechanism becomes the least
bit deranged.- Washington Star.

An English Town Which 10 the
HEADQUARTERS of Father Time.
Greenwich, as an English town, is
nothing very remarkable, but as the
Headquarters of Father Time 1t is the
most important spot on the earth. It's
time is in every longitude Of the globe
and every land, excepting Spain, Por-
tugal and Russia, measures the hours
from its meridian. No navigator on
duty, is without Greenwich time In
sight, and every town and geographi-
cal point ia known by its distance east
or west from the Greenwich observa-
tory.
Ask the time, and the answer Is al
ways in even hours ahead or behind
Greenwich or else the exact Green
wich time. In Great Britain, Belgium
and Holland you get the Greenwich
time. One hour before Greenwich time
rules in Germany, Austria Hungary,
Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Norway and
Switzerland.
Two hours ahead Of Greenwich Is
adopted in Bulgaria, Roumania and
Turkey in Europe. Eight hours ahead
of Greenwich applies in the Philip
pines. Nine hours before the Green
WITCH time is used in Australia.
Ten hours ahead Of Greenwich Is Off
cial in Victoria, Queensland and Tas
mania. The United States, Canada ant
Mexico have adopted the fifth, seventh
and eighth hours after.
So it is around the earth-every ticl

purro Punching Profanity.

In his book "a Day With Tramp
and Other Days" Walter Wyckoff tells
the following story Of profanity anc
burro punching in the west:
1.-THE burros plainly shared the feel
ing of relief in reaching more passa
BILE region, and the art Of burro punch
ing began consequently to disclose 1T
difficulties.
"They were most difficult to manage
at the fords. Generally they scattered
to the four winds at the first approach
to water, and when we had corrallec
them again and forced them down t.
the brink they would stand calmly
planted ankle deep IN the stream. res
olutely determined not to move.
ut was then that Price gave vent Il
real profanity, and am bound to Owl
that it was effective. When beating
and prodding and the milder invectiv'
failed to urge the burros forward
Price would stand back, pale Will
rage, and begin to swear, calling upol
all his gods and blasting the reputa
ton of his beasts unto the third ant
fourth generation Of their ancestors.
"By some subtle perception the!
seemed to understand that this mean
business, and slowly at first, but pres
emily, as though they rather enjoyed
the water, they waded through ant
started down the trail beyond"

GREENWOOD.

The matter with Candlemas Day
seems to have been that nature got
things rather mixed here. There were
nearly dozen flashes of lightning, &C
companied by half as many claps of
thunder, one of which came in about a
second after the flash. Thunder and
lightning in winter are rare, and happen
only at long intervals. In an old note
book occurs this entry: Thunder show
err, Dec. IA, 1858.
About fifteen inches of snow fell
Sunday, but they attended the Pomona
Grange meeting on the following Tues
day all the same.
A letter from Mr.. Davis of Minnesota
says they have had but very little winter
there, only few inches of snow, and
that remained but short time. Fishing
has been good of late, quite number
having been caught that weighed from
| twelve to twenty-five pounds. How it
makes the mouth water, just to write
about it.
There is standing invitation for citi-
zens to visit our district schools, and
last week your scribe accepted it, and
visited Miss Bradford's. She is first
class teacher, and the scholars seem to
appreciate the effort made to teach
them.
AS strange as it may seem there are
men with families, who take no news
paper; and consequently know what is
going on in the world but little more
than "the beasts that perish" "Only
that and nothing more"
The wise man says that "a word spoken
in due season, how good is it." And that
is true, providing it is the right kind of
word. To illustrate: Some time ago a
young man hired out to farmer, COM
mencing his work by saving up the
woodpile at the door. Soon the en-
ployer came along, and after looking at
the man at work a few minutes, said /:
"You seem to know how to saw wood
fairly well, but will give you point or
two, which may prove to be worth
knowing; and if not they will do you no
harm. In the first place, the nearer you
saw your wood at right angles, or
straight across, the easier it will saw,
and the sooner you will cut it off. In
the next place, if the stick is cleft, turn
the back side from you, and the splint.
ers, if any, will not be so much in the
way, and if there is grit in the bark the
saw will throw it out, instead of draw
ing it into the stick and dulling it," The
young man says he saw the points at
once, and they proved to be worth a
good deal more than they cost.

Cruelty to LObaters.

1t is singular how the cruel practice
of boiling Holsters alive continues. Our
forefathers - and indeed our parents
let calves Bleed slowly to death, on
the theory that In no other way could
white meat be secured, and later on
calves were bled one day and killed the
next. Now, every one knows that a
calf can be killed in humane manner
and the veal made just as good, and,
generally speaking, animals killed for
food have been put out of the way In
much more humane manner than for
merly. But Holsters are still tortured
out of existence. the only difference be-
ing that, while formerly they were ex-
clusively boiled to death, now some are
boiled and some are broiled. Which
process causes the most agony no one
can say.-EXchange.
