How Kansas pccp,tte n state.

The fight on Kansas entrance IN
10 the Union was a prelude to the
Civil War, which Il FASTENED. the
Kansas conflict may be said to have
been begun with the enactment Of
the territorial organization bill in
J. Both North and South strove
for lie possession OF the territory,
ard in tho fight John Brown was
evolved and got the incentive which
led him 10 mako his Harpcr'5 Ferry
raid OF 1859. that intensified the
tension between the sections and
made the Civil War Inevitable. II
there had been no Kansas conflict
there would have been no John
Brown. the Wing party would have
remained on the scene a few years
longer to make its feeble opposition
to the Democracy; the advent Of the
Republican party would have been
DELAYED; there would have been no
Ipcompton constitution fight to cut
off a segment from the Democratic
party; the Democratic split in the
Charleston convention of 1850
would have been postponed TO 1854
or some other time, and It Is possible
that the Civil War would not have
occurred yet, and that slavery would
still be in existence; though, OF
course. its doom was certain, soon or
late.-St. Louis Globe-DcmCcrat.

PICKING AND CHOOSING

Her name Yves Susan Sarah Salt,
and oftentmes she said, "Ill find a
man without a fault-till then | will

which don't from virtue Tow; the man
who'd have me as a bride must be as
pure as snow"
There came a sutton rich who spoke
of love and asked. her hand; she
scorned him, for she'd seen him smoke
cigars to beat the band. 81 can not
for lifetime lean on any man she
cried, "who's soaked so full of nico-
tine it oozes through his hide"
A year went by; another man came
up, with loyelt eye. 81 hear she
said. you rush the can whenever you
are dry. The lips that for the GROWER
thirst can never touch my face Go
hence, your name is Wienerwurst

The months rolled on, as months
have rolled and always will revolye;
and she, though growing somewhat
old, was firm in her resolve. Then
Clarence came, with pledge and vow,
all loaded to the guards She said, q

And time slid past, as time will
slide, and gray was in her hair; few
asked her now to be bride, and
vows were growing rare. Yet Reggie
came. and at her fet he knelt and
talked of biz; he said his life would
be too sweet if she would but be his.
She proudly shook her tawny cuTls,
and Reggie heard her say: 1--WE seen
you chase the chorus girls along the
Great White Way I'd rather be my
maiden aunt and leave all hope be-
hind, than wed man who'd galivant
with chickens of that kind"
The years rushed on, and Susan's
life was lonely, cold and gray; one
last lone chance to be q wife came
finally her way. She asked no ques-
tons, but she sighed: Let's haste ana

quet following the religious cere-
mony the bridegroom receives his
bride over a bridge Of silver. A bag
of coins fresh from the mint Is pro-

two rows across the table. This
done, the father of the bridegroom
makes a speech, In the course Of
which the latter Is enjoined to pro-
vide always n silver pathway for his
spouse through life. The young man
makes a more or less suitable reply,

would mean the worst of bad luck.

Every family should be supplied
with a quantity of onions for winter
Use, not alone for their medicinal
value as food. but for their positive
value to relieve pain. As remedy for
earache we know of no home remedy
so potent to relieve the pain as onion
juice. To prepare, wrap large onion
in heavy paper, wet thoroughly. then
roast in hot ashes, afterward extract
the Juice and put a drop or two of 1t
in the patients ear; it viii quickly

tightly corked in a bottle and is thus
ready for instant use.
For cold in the lungs an onion poul-
tice is unsurpassed slice thin, salt
and pepper well, and fry in lard,
spread on a clear cloth and apply hot
as can be borne, putting IA thin cloth
between.
A good cough syrup is made by slic-
inc half a dozen large onions and
then strain the juice, add a pint Of
white sugar and boil until reduced to
a Pint. Bottle and keep for use; one

Onions are an excellent antidote for
bites or stings of poisonous insects.
Apply a slice of onion to the wound,

II Is probable that London has the
distinction of being the only port
where the ships lying at anchor are
privileged to have their letters de-
llvered to them by river postmen, It
being customary at other ports for
sailors to apply personally for their
letters unless the ship Is in dock.
The Thames is divided into two pos
tai districts, each under the control
of 4 river postman, who delivers let
ters and parcels every morning, in a
craft which resembles a fisher boat
more than anything else. or these
districts the first extends from the
second from Limehouss to Black
well. The river postmcn start on
their rounds punctially at eight
o'clock every morning, and, needless
to say, there is only one delivery a
day. Tho mail bag may include as
many rs five hundred letters, but
this number Is largely increased
about Christmas time. As he glides
from ship to ship the postman calls
out. "Ahoy there" and hands up
the letters attached TO a boathoOli to
the waiting crew. II only takes from
four 10 five hours to deliver the mail,
so that the postman does not waste
much time. In foggy weather, how
ever. It takes considerably longer,
owing to the difficulties OF finding
the various ships, and of steering be-
tween the large vessels as they lie at
anchor.

Twelve por cent, of all the acct

average citizen, if he should meet
with one hundred serious mis-
chances on his walks abroad, would
slip on the ice, and fall down under
other circumsta 1es, siXty-eight
times he would get hurt ten times in
boarding or dishounting from cars;
he would be knocked down, or other
wise injured by horses and wagons
six times; he would be bitten by
dogs four times, and he would step
