ij in iroui pmn, "tne uiat'K-vuni t can't kill me!" Mrs. Delaney, after a few sobs, strikos a bell on the table twico, and blips down to the door.

I incline to thu belief that tlico people think that I am a "goner," but I exult in the idea that they are all mistaken. Tho doctor, being privily advised thereto by the clergyman, tolls mo that I must die, When? Well, by morning. I don't believo it. Ho reiterates the statement, and I reiterate my unbelief. THK CLERGYMAN KNEELS ANll l'UAYS, and tho doctor retires. Tho clergyman follows about an hour after, and the two women sit up with 1110. The vuinito continues, and I make a rather sick joke about the cuttle-fish and its black-vomit. I am answered by sighs. The assistant appears, and I swallow somo medicine. The long watches of the night pass away, and I am still alive and heusible. The black-vomit diminishes in quantity, and by daylight it ceases. The assistant conies about 10 o'clock, and is met at the door by Mrs Delaney. 41 Is it possible!" he ejaculates, and he forgets Ins professionally quiet tread, ami walks briskly to my bed. Every day I have numerous visits from physicians. Yielding to the general wish, my physician has drawn up a formal report of my case, and it lies on my table, and is carefully read by every medical man who comes into my room. I am as yellow as a d?rtv lemon, but r am gaining. I have lost half my weight at least; every rib sticks out as plain as a barrel hoop ; every section of my vertebra) stands out in bold relief like a walnut, and my legs are like walking-sticks ; BUT I STILL LIVE. I have survived tho twin events of a relapse and black-vomit in yellow fever, and I propose, as soon as I get well, to adopt Mrs. Delaney for my mother. You will doubtless read a full report of my caso in the leading medical journals. You seo I am bound to rise to the surface. Merit always wins. CllOOHAN. KniBft's Latest Triumph. Just now we are told that experiments have been made at Krupp's manufactory of Bredelar on certain big guns producing big results in connection with such a big treaty as that of Berlin Peace! Let us see what these peaceful pets, these artillery infants can do. At 10,000 yards tho ball from one of these charmers will perforate the thickest ironclad 5 at 2,000 yards two such shot will disable or sink tho largest ship alloat. And every one of these shots cost somo $l,r0 in money and six minutes in time to do its deadly and destructive work. Thus in 12 minutes and forfUOOyou can dostroy an ironclad costing 9 1,600,000, provided the shooting is good. Include the other minor matters, such as the death of the crow, consisting of COO or 700 men. Hero is one feature following the Berlin treaty. London Cor. Ii Itimorc Shh, Salt Sa vino. Salt is healthful and necessary for animals when running to grass, but in winter we do not give them salt. They will eat it, it is true, but it creates thirst ami then they are apt to drink too much cold water, and bring on chills and fever, and perhaps inflammation of the stomach or bowels. In summer salt acts as a corrective to the laxity and flatulence which the succulent grasses may produce A tight box under tho cow-shed, in which the salt may be put, Ss tho most economical way to feed it. A saving may be made by pouring all of tho old beef and ham brine into this box, tho cows will taken lick or two every day, ami this is better than giving them a heap on thu ground twice a week as the oonimon practice is, which is a waste of salt, and besides makes a bare spot. Farmers study little economies tho '.east of any class of business men.
