vengeance 1.-THE sead OF treason is

Mr.. Wolfe's dissatisfaction with the

ity seemed to raise up between the church
and the United States government, but he
had not lost his faith until late in 1874. He
was asked concerning the hostility i'm the
church to the nation and where the lines
were drawn. He thought the lines were be-
tween those living in polygamy and those
not. He said that a number of hymns of
the church breathed hostility and these

Bad habits never seem so terrible
to the one who has them after he gets
over the headaches from them
The danger of being too bashful
to kiss a girl is she may have to do
it, and it won't be half as nice.
A woman seems to be able to over.
look her husbands faults when he

One of the incest things about
being married is how much money
you could save If you should get over
1t.
A nan would have to have Il lot
of money to feel there was any that
could be spared for people who
haven't any.
If a girl has a good figure she
knows it just as well as you do, but
you won't hurt yourself with her to
tell Eer so.
Plasterers and decorators make a
lot of money by having the head OF

WHEN MEN ARE SHIPWRECKED.
That's the Time They Really Can Eat
Their Boots.

Shipwrecked persons have been
kept alive on the most repugnant and
unwholesome of foods. Probably
the hardest fare that six strong men
and a boy of fifteen ever kept alive
on was the daily menu of the Wind
overs survivors, who were cast up on
the Irish coast near Kilsegg not long
ago. They lived sixteen days on
stewed rope yarn.
When they took the ships small
boat they had water enough for a
month but only small amount of
provisions. These lasted four days.
After having nothing at all to eat for
the following two days they tried
boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope
into pulp and swallowing 1t.
They had keg of parafiin wax.
which they boiled to add to the nour-
ishment. The sickness they expert
enced as result of the diet, says
What-to-Eat, was only temporary
and they landed in comparatively
good health.
Captain Maboly of the foundered
steamer Gwalior and his second Off
Ger created record less than two
years ago by living for seventeen
days on boot leather and pint of
water day each.
OF course no teeth can tear cow
hide boots; they have to be cut up
and shredded with knife and the
cl, he, Doll
ing,even when possible, does no good,
but takes from the nourishment of
the boots. A few ounces of leather
being very hard to digest, stay in the
stomach for fifteen or twenty hours.
A diet of boots and shoes is one
of the commonest of last resource
foods, and though it is hard for
well fed person to imagine that any
one could masticate and digest the
leather, pair of long sea boats will
keep a man alive for fortnight if he
has a little water.
Two men who went to small ISL
and off the Irish coast not long ago
kept themselves going for ten days
on a diet probably worse than this.
They landed in boat which was
smashed by a wave on their trying
to relaunch her, and they were kept
on the bare rocky island without
food
Fortunately there was a spring on
the island, but nothing in the way of
sea gulls, which they could catch,
and nothing with which to make
fire as a distress signal. There were
not even any shell fish, as there was
no beach, and the pair had to subslst
for ten days on cold, raw seaweed
washed up by the tide.
The best known and most useful
of starvation diets for wrecked or
castaway people, however, is that of
barnacles. Three Englishmen and a
crew of Lascars who had been forced
to abandon the sailing vessel North
Star few months ago kept them
selves going for more than a week
on barnacles, and only two of the
crew died
The worst of this diet is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps
and cause an insufferable thirst, but
they do nourish the frame. You
have to reach under the vessels side
and pull them off, taking care not to
leave the best half of them sticking
to the planks.
