A subscriber met Horace one day and said: “Air. Greeley, Ive stopped your paper.” “Haveyou?” said Horace. “Well, teats ioo bad,* - and t t Id «i>i ■* bat went j i.s wry Fhe next ui -i.iuu' G'r-el » m> bis subscriber at m, n i s id: thought you hvi »t<>pp <1 th-* i n buDA?’’ “Sol did.’’ * then theremust be some mistake, said Horace, “for 1 just came from the office, and the presses we*e rur.ui g. the c erks were as busv as e.er, the compositors were ir rd at work, a d the business was >oirgonthes m as yesterday amlfthe day befoie.” “Oh!” rjflcnlat°d the subscriber, “1 didn’t mean that I had stopped the paper, I stooped onl my copy of ; t because 1 didn't like your edit >rials.” “Pshaw!” retoited Grteiey, “it wasn’t worth taking ud my time to tell me such a trifle as that. Mv dear sir, if you expect to control the utterances of the Tribune by the purchase of one copy a day, or if you think to find any newspaper worth reading that will never express convictions at right an. les with your own, you are d >omed to disappointment.”

Hot Water. — A prominent physician ot New York recently declared) that hot water is woman’s beet friend. It will cure dyep r* sia, if taken before breakfast, <md will ward of chills when she comes in from the cold. Lt vx ill stop a cold if take» early in the stage.— It will telieve a nervous headache, and give instant '-elief to tired and inflamed eyes.. 11 is most efficacious for sprains and bruises, and will frequently stop the flow of blood from a wound. Itisasovereign remedy for sleeplessness, and, i i conclusion, the doctor asserts, “wrinkles flee from it. and blackheads vanish before its constant use.” Use of Turpentine.— .turpentine has almost|is many uses in the house as borax. It is good for rheumatism, and, mixed with camphoroted oil and rubbed on the chest, is one of the best remedii s for bronchial colds. It is an excellent preventive against moths, although naphtha is prefe able, the odor leaving much sooner; it will drive ants and coci roaches away,if sprinkled about the shelves and cupboards; a spoonful in a pail of warm water cleans paint excelly; and a little in the boiler on washingsday whitens the clothes.

A Baby as Security.

One of the women attendants out at the children’s sanitarium on the Lincoln park lake shore tells a pretty story, “A woman who was sick enough her■elf to be in a hospital came up here with her child. It was a tiny thing, and no weak that It could hardly cry. The mother had to be assisted under the Shelter, and then we gave her a reclining place from which she could see the lake. Soon after there stopped in front of the building an Imposing carriage and team. The occupants were a woman, whose dress Indicated riches and refinement, a pretty and elaborately dressed baby, and the nurse. The three came In. The mistress of the party saw the sick woman and spoke to her. I did not hear what was said at first, but a few moments later I heard the rich woman .say: “•Don’t be afraid, I will leave you my child as security.’ And then the rich woman picked up the tiny child that was so weak and carried it herself to the carriage and got in and was driven away. The nurse and the rich baby remained at the sanitarium and entertained the sick woman, and when the other returned the sick child had on a new dress, and a bunch of sweet peas was fastened about its neck. It was so quietly done, and so pretty, too, I Just went off alone and cried from Xr.--Ohicago Chronicle.

HE FOOLED THE SNAKE

And Proved Himself the Smartest Frog the United States. Mikon Lake is a good-sited body of water at the extreme northwestern section of this city, says a Rahway (N. J.)' correspondent At the eastern extrem-! sty of the lake is a large dam, over which superfluous water empties into the Rahway River. Thousands of huge rocks and boulders support this dam, and during a dry spell, when very little or no water is running over the dam, scores of huge, ugly-looking, browncolored water snakes use the rocks for sun baths. It was at this point that Nick White witnessed, a singular scene the other day. He was watching the snakes and had his eye on an old fellow, who, he declares, “had scales on him like a salamander,” when his attention was drawn from the pilot to a frog that was hopping along on the bare ground between the rocks and the river. The frog was nearing the snake, apparently unmindful of his peril, for snakes love frogs and toads. But this frog had evidently “been to school,” as subsequent events proved. “I guess the old snake had one eye open,” said Nick, “for as soon as the frog came in reach he sprang for him. The frog, seeing him, essayed to get away, making a high leap toward the water. But the snake was too quick for him and got between him and the water. It was then that the frog manifested his schooling. He picked up a twig about four inches long and held it in his mouth like a bit. I wondered what for, and when I ascertained, said I to myself: ‘Nick, that is the smartest frog in the United States.’ The snake seized the frog by the fore leg, and, lengthening out, opened his jaws and wriggled forward. “In went the frog’s leg, and then, after many efforts, the snake got the frog’s nose and part of his head in until he came to the twig, which, extending an inch beyond his own jaws, queered him and saved the frog. The snake writhed and wriggled frantically. He relaxed the muscles of his jaws, as does a darky just after he cuts a watermelon, but all in vain. I laughed so hard and so long that I became weak i in my knees and had to sit down and rest before I looked for a club to help the frog out of the difficulty. Then I got a big stick and moved quickly down upon the sanke, who was too busy to hear me. “With one strong, well-delivered blow I broke his spine and paralyzed him, and as his jaws relaxed the frog backed out, dropped the twig, looked up at me and gave a croak of thanks. Before I could reach him he gave two leaps and was in his element”

Lost All Her Sails.

Capt. Wilson, of the British ship Crocodile, has made a report to the Merchants’ Exchange describing a phenomenon witnessed on the way from Newcastle, New South Wales. The Crocodile left Newcastle June 22. In 145 degrees west longitude and 10 degrees north latitude the strange appearance of the clouds was first noted. They were crossing and recrossing each other with great rapidity. The barometer fell from 29.95 at noon to 29.87 at 7 p. m. The wind increased to a gale In the evening, and at midnight the sky was lighted, by vivid electric flashes. The sea reached a terrific height, and a great twisting, writhing column came into view’, apparently bearing down on the ship. Lightning flashed from this pillar and splintered into sparks on the sea. It looked as if the Cnggodile was certain to go to the bottom, but the cyclone passed astern. Instantly, as it passed, every sail on the ship was ripped away from its fastenings. The Crocodile keeled over until the water was almost even with her hatches. She righted, and a terrific wave washed over her fore and aft. It was then discovered that her cargo had shifted. It took several days to right the cargo before the ship was ready to make sail.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Resembled a Criminal.

The Bavarian Minister at Berne is likely to feel a good deal of natural resentment against the Swiss police force for some little time to come. He ■ went to Winterthur, the Swiss Risley, where the national rifle festival was being held, and was enjoying himself in a quiet Teutonic fashion when suddenly he was seized by detectives and hauled off to the nearest lockup. His demand for an explanation was met by the confident assertion that he was no other than a notorious criminal. The detectives were so sure they had the right man that it was not until a high Government official had identified the unfortunate diplomat that they consented Jo his release. They had a portrait of the malefactor which closely resembled the features of the Minister.

Town Is Disappearing.

Eisleben, the Thuringian town which was Luther’s birthplace, is gradually fading from view. One by one the streets are being abandoned, and the houses crack and fall into ruins, owing to subterranean disturbances brought on by the big hollow spaces made in salt mining for many centuries. The other day nine houses tumbled in. The geologist, Prof, von Fritsch, in Halle, says there is no doubt that the salt layers in the soil underlying the town are in process of dissolution consequent on subterranean inundations. The town is now appealing to public charity, for one-half the inhabitants have lost their all.—Chicago Record.

New Idea in Photographs.

A photographer announces “comic pictures taken while you wait.” These pictures are render comic by placing the head of the subject upon a ludicrous little body and then mounting the whole upon a fractious donkey.

Sir 'William Harcourt has taken to driving mules; he rides through the New Forest in a phaeton drawn by a pair that has been presented to him.

OLD SAWS RESHARPENED.

Pay as you go if you can’t get your trunk without doing it Great oaks from little acorns grow, if a hog doesn’t eat them. There’s many a slip between tho banana peel and the sidewalk. Count your chickens after they aro hatched, and lock the door of the henroost Rank is not always an evidence of merit; there’s a rank smell, for instance. All the world’s a stage, but some have box seats while others have to hang on behind. Never do to morrow what you can do to-day; but this doesn’t apply to paying your gas bill. Birds of a feather flock together, but none of the feathers get into a Ixiard-ing-house mattress. It is said that the end justifies the means, but millionaires don't always have the biggest funerals.

SIGNS AND SUPERSTITIONS.

If you see a load of empty barrels it’s roing to rain. If you can’t break an apple you’ll die m old maid. Every time a star falls there’s a death omewhere. Cobwebs in a house are a sign there .< no kissing there. If it doesn’t dear up at 11 or 3 it von’t clear up all day. If the water boils away on-the stove 's a sign it is going to rain. If her petticoat hangs below her ress it’s a sign her father loves her est. Put on something new New Year's <ay and you’ll have plenty ail through he year.

Trouble Over Tunis.

A new and serious subject of conflict las arisen between France and Italy. Twenty-six years ago the latter con■luded with the bey of Tunis an adantageous treaty, renewable at the xpiratlon of twenty-seven years, uness denounced twelve months In adzanee by one or the other of the contacting parties. Since then Tunis has tecome a feudatory State of France, n so far that she is subject to a French protectorate and that the French are in ontrol of the foreign relations of the 'ey. It is by virtue of this control that ’rance has now intimated to Italy her itentlon of denouncing the treaty, her bject being to bring the beylik within lie sphere of the Gallic customs sysem. Italy, which not only possesses ast interests in Tunis, but lias also ■veral hundred thousand of its sub■cts settled there, has all along proofed against France’s occupation of le country much in the same way hat France protests against the presnce of the English in Egypt. The ispute in connection with the denunatton of the treaty may possibly ring matters to a crisis.—New York ' ribune.

One Gooseberry Kills a Child.

A little o-year-old daughter of John 'ellwoitli. of Delphos, Ohio, died as ic result of a peculiar misadventure, he was running through the garden ■hen she fell on her face. Scrambling i her feet, she immediately comlained of something causing her ead to throb. The pain soon became •orse and a physician was called, who as unable to diagnose the case. The hild grew worse and died four hours fter the accident in great agony. An - amination of her head was made rom the nose, and a. large green goose'erry was found in a small recess far back in the head. The only theory which can be arrived at is that in faring the berry was introduced into the b.lld’s nose, and by drawing her breath e.’.ickly the berry was drawn into tho ‘lead.
