Also keep your mouth shut. This will leave tho nostrils as the only orifices for insects to enter. Thence you can readi ly expel them. In fact, you need not worry about them at all. They will be likely to irritate the inner membrane sufficiently to produco tho involuntary convulsive force vulgarly called sneezing. It has been practically demonstrated that nothing will so suddenly change the mind and frustrate the purposes of a designing insect as a healthy sneeze. Rome Sentinel. Farmer Jones painted his barbed wire fence blue, plain blue. Farmer Smith's wife swore she wasn't going to be outdone, and the fence around the Smith farm soon blossomed out red, picked with white. Mrs. Jones wasn't going to have any of the Smith family putting on airs over her and their blue fence was soon trimmed with gold leaf stripes. Smith trumped over by putting a gut ball on every barb, and Jones when last heard from was planting weather vanes, gilt horses, peacocks and lightning rod tips all over his fence, and swearing he'd beat the Smith family if he had to put a cupola and a bay-window at every post and hang a chromo every two feet along the line.

Step out into the purest air you can find, stand perfectly erect with the head and shoulders back, and then fixing tho lips as though you were going to whis tle, draw the air through tue nostrils in to the lungs. When the chest is about full raise the arms, keeping them extended with the palms of the hands down, as you suck in the air, so as to bring them over the head just as the lungs are quite full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and after gently forcing the arms backward and the chest open, reverse the process by which you draw your breath, till the lungs are entirely empty. This process should be repeated three or four times a day. It is impossible to describe to one who has nevtriedittbe glorions sense of vigor which follows the exercise.

Attempted AntUetlen ef a Ye nag Lady. Nkw York, July ?. Miss Loulie E. Ileuser, an attractive Brooklyn girl, 17 years old, was the victim of a dastardly outrage at the residence of her brother-in-law, Dr. Hasbrook, in Milton, on the Hudson, on the evening of July 4. Her relatives were absent In an adjoining town, and she had spent the evening with a lawn party at a neighbor's house. She returned home at 10 o'clock, went

Into the parlor, and sat down to the piarm. She sounded three orfournotee. ano. une sounueu turee or lour notes, and, as she was making up her mind what to play, she heard a footstep behind her. Turning about, who saw a tall, thin man, dressed in dark clothes, with a thick, black cloth mask covering his face. The scoundrel attempted to seize her, but she eluded his grasp and made for the window. The follow chased her about the room and out into the hall, where a shorter man stood holding the inside knob of the hall door. On seeing her he let go the knob and rushed to the other's aid, exclaiming, "Catch her, Jack, or she'll scream." Then the two thrust a sponge containing chloroform to her nose and mouth, and she sank senseless in their arms. The rest was comparatively easy. The wretches stripped the defenseless girl, leaving on one garment only, and threw her clothinrr tlirrtitirli f ha nnon 1nnt- fnfn fVia lint. lor. Then a noise was heard as of some ! nnn nnanincr thn cardan fruta. and the two fled, leaving Louise uninjured, but I still senseless on tho floor.

Their entrance and . , i exit were mane tnrougn a seconu-siory window opening on the roof, and which had been left unclosed o account of the hot weather. Who tho men were is still a mystery, although they betrayed a knowledge of the premises unusual to strangers. Miss Heuser says that they were well dressed, and that the hands of the tall man, who seized her first, were as soft as those of a woman. What renders the case more extraordinary is the fact that the party on the lawa of Mr. Townsend's house were loss than 50 yards distant, and should have been able to hear any unusual noise in Dr. Hasbrook's premises. The interval between the time of Miss IIcuser's return home and the discovery of her insensible body in the hall-way could not have been over 15 minutes at the utmost. Drs. Hasbrook and Gednev arc emI nli at in in thoir tnatimnnv that the vounc lady suffered no harm at the hands of tho scoundrels beyond tho indignity to which she was submitted in being stripped and chloroformed. The news of the outrage spread like wild-fire, and a thorough search was made for the perpetrators, but without success. Patrols of excited citizens scoured the neighboring country, and every effort was made to find the two men described by Miss Heuser and the Misses Lefevro. No arrests had been made up to a late hour last night. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Jeateisy. It is wonderful how soon jealousv works its way into the minds of children. All men and women are more or less jealous; some are jealous of their neighbors, if they happen to live in a better house than themselves; some are jealous if their neighbors1 children look better than their own. With parents continually showing them jealousy, it is no wonder that the same vicious traits appear developed in children ; but it is nevertheless very strange that they should show it as early as some of them do. They desire to dross finer, and have every littloknick-knackbetterthan others, is a poor foundation to build upon, yet it lies at the basis of many a life, and always leads to enormou expenses, and sometimes to wretched conse quences. Young ladies and gentlemen great deal upon this matter, for not a little of the happiness they are to have in the coming home they are looking forward to depends upon it. It is plain to see, when a person iooks into tne subject, that jealousy leads to extrava gance, and that it Meme oc tne nm things which mothers should guard their children against. i - A Methodist Presiding Elder was annoyed by an incompetent brother who wanted a license to exhort, and in order to confuse the aspirant asked him the difference between an exhorter ana a preacher.

Coming down from Chicago I listened to a couple of womea who were sitting opposite me, They resented the importunities of the news-agent who wantad to mil them books. The younger woman of the two offered to lend her companion a book, and the companion accepted the offer, with a qualifyingr question ae to the name and character of the work. The first literary womaa drew the book out of her valise and handed it over. She took it, looked at it with an appearance of great interest and ex- " Oh yes, Old Curiosity Shop.' How I do love Dickens!" "Da you?" her friend inquired. "I just doat on him. I so love the char? aoter of Little Bell' in this book." " She is so lovable," said the sec o ad literary woman, " but what a monster that other one what's his name the one with the wooden leg?" The first woman couldn't recall the character. " The only man in Dickeac with awooden leg that I know of," she said, " is named Wagner, who read for the dustman, in Our Mutual Friend.' " " 'So, that wasn't it," said the other woman ; "it was in 'OldCuriosity Shop ; it was a dwarf with a wooden leg a

How dirty and grimy every body looks. How cross and unobliging and disgraceful every body feels. The cars are crowded ana every body is wishing every body else was out of the way. The woman ia front of me has dropped her shawl oa the floor. She is not young or hand some, but she is a woman. Her face ha? a harsh, forbidding expression, bat withal, I think I can see tender lines about the mouth. It is a face that has 8 eon trouble. Poor woman, perhape she has raised eleven children. And now she has them all, with their huebands and wives, to support. No woader she looks tired and worn and repellant. If she was young and pretty as she was thirty years ago, a dozen meat would spring forward to snatch her shawl from the dusty floor and bow themselves crooked handing it to her. Now wo look at it, and feel too dusty even to teU her where it is. A commercial traveler walks down the aisle aad steps carefully over it. A woman goes down the other way and thoughtlessly steps on it. I feel ashamed of myself and pity the poor, homely woman. With an effort I rise from my seat, I stoop to pick up the neglected shawl. "Madam," I say, and oh if my son's mother could see that smile, " Madam, permit me; your shawl" I stopped right there. For, as I picked up the neglected shawl, out of its voluminous folds fell thumping and rattling to the floor a paper bag, badly fractured, full of crackers, a tin caa, some remnants of an ancient lunch, a six-inch bologna, bit off at one end, and a bottle of milk, the latter uncorking itself as it fell. The poor neglected woman did not seem to be transported with gratitude for my attention. She snatched the shawl away from me aad said, with apparent vexation : There now, drat ye; looky at ye. what you've done. Why can't ye mind yer own business and leave other people's things alone?" A ripple of subdued hilarity passed through the car, and I resumed my seat, fully resolved that if the most extravagantly lovely and loving girl that ever blessed this world of ugly rasa, should come into that car and her head should fall off her shoulders and drop into my lap, I should kick it savagely out of the window and snarl "Keep your lumpy old woodeay pumpkin-head out of the way if yoa don't want it tromped onto."
