An Old Skinflint.

“How’s this, Tibbons? they tell me your wife has left yon. Is it true?” “True as a tramp, Lias; it is, for a fact" “What was the trouble? You didn’t have a quarrel, did you ?” “No, Lias; ’twant that Banner had her queer Btreaks, but Bhe was middlin’ ?Baceable. The way it come was this; on see, she wanted to be spendin’ money all the time, faster’n she could talk, an’ jest because I wouldn’t low it she gits her dander up, an’ goes off, an’ leaves me. She was the beatinest woman to spend money, Lias, you ever see, an’ it jest seemed to me as though silver melted in her fingers like wax in bilin’ water.”

“I never supposed she was an extravagant woman.” “Of course you didn’t, Lias, an’ nuther did I ontil it was too late to help me any, but that hain’t no name for it. Extravagant, Lias, is puttin’ it mild. You might send her to town with a dollar, an’ before she’d been there two hours she wouldn’t have a cent of it. That’s the kind of woman she was. Lias# “You don’t tell me?” “Yes, I do, Lias; that was her to a gnat’s heel; it was so. That -#bman wouldn’t be satisfied nowhere’s, Lias, onless she could have the run of a gold mine, an’ you know that wouldn’t do for me.” “No, I suppose not.” “I can stand abuse, Lias, eq’al to the next one; but I jest can’t stand foolin’ away money, an’ I told her so. At that she flared up, an’ left me right at the beginnin’ of a hard winter, with all the chores to do. But I don’t want her back, Lias; she can go to the old scratch for all me. She wasn’t never satisfied nohow, but then there’s some folks, you know, that’s always pinin’ if they can’t have all creation, an’ she was one of ’em. I took her to all the free shows an’ lectors that come along, an’ about every three or four year I’d give her a couple of dollars an’ let her go over into Popcorn County to see her mother. But ’tWant no use, Lias; ’twas only wastin’ money on her, for now she’s up an’ left me, an’ what have I got to show for it ? I tell you, Lias, if I ever marry agin—an’ I reckon I will, mebbe, if her people stands the expense of gittin’ a divorce for her—l’ll git a woman who can understand how allfired big a dollar gits to be in a shortcrop year.- —Chicago hedger.

The First Fugitive Slave Law.

This was passed in 1793, and was entitled “an act respecting fugitives from justice, and persons escaping from the service of their masters.” It originated in the Senate, passed the House without debate by a vote of forty-eight to seven, and was approved by President Washington, Feb. 12, 1793. It was in four sections. The first two applied to fugitive criminals, and merely specified the manner is which the demand was to be made upon the Governor, and made no attempt to enforce the surrender of the criminal if it should be refused. By the third section, the owner, his agent or attorney, was empowered to seize his fugitive slave, take him before a Federal court, or before any magistrate of the county, -city or town wherein the arrest should be made, and make proof by affidavit or oral testimony of his ownership, and the certificate thereof was to be sufficient warrant for the removal of the fugitive to the State or Territorf from - which he had fled. By the fourth section the rescue, concealment or obstruction of the arrest of a fugiiive slave were made offenses liable to a fine of SSOO.

The Pope’s Seals.

The Pope has two kinds of seals, the first -used In apostolical briefs, private letters, etc., called the fisherman’s ring. This is a very large ring, on which is represented St. Peter drawing his net full of fishes. The other is used in brills, representing St. Peter’s head on the right and that of St. Paul on the left, with a cross between the two. On the reverse are sometimes the Pope’s name and arms. j The impressions of the first seal are taken in red wax, but those of the second always in lead.

Bishop Spaulding saw a most pronounced case of dandy drag itself inertly past. The fellow had all the symptoms of acute idiocy so markedly visible that there was no mistaking the social disease. Anglomania, that had pitifully altered him from the healthy, vigorous, sensible young fellow that he might otherwise have been. “Well, here’s a thought for comfort,” the Bishop is quoted as saying. “I happen to know who he is. His family are wealthy and very fashionable. He has been brought to think that work is not for him to think of, and that his life is destined to be perfectly idle. In that view, don't you comprehend, the best course for him to pursue is the One that is most harmless, and what could have less actual viciousness in it than the •areer of an assiduous fop? Just think of it. He might be a gambler, a brawler, a sensualist; or lie might even take to burglary, arson, murderlj Qh, yes, if a young man is bound to be nothing useful, then by all means encourage him to be an innocuous dandy.”

In every department •of knowledge noble men and women are bearing aloft the torch of science to make light the dark places of earth for the benefit of man, but it will still be a long while before human wisdom, can make out why a change of weather is bad for corns.

A Help to Good Digestion.

In the BriUih Medical Journal t)r. W. Roberts, of England, discusses the effect of liquors, tea, coffee, and cocoa on digestion. All of them retard the chemical processes, but most of them stimulate the glandular activity and muscular contractions. Distilled spirits retard the salivary or peptic digestion but slightly when sparingly used. Wines were found to be highly injurious to salivary digestion. On peptic digestion all wines exert a retarding influx ence. They stimulate the glandular apd muscular activity of the stomach. Effervescent wines exert the greatest amount of good with the least harm to digestion. When one’s digestion is out of order everything goes awry, unless, as in the case of T. T. Seals, of Bellaire, Ohio, who had bad dyspepsia for seven years, the digestive apparatus is kept in apple-pie eating 'Order by Warner’s Tippecanoe, the best appetite producer and regulator In the world. Tea, fcven in minute quantities, completely paralyzes the action of the saliva. The tannin in strong tea is injurious. Weak tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee and cocoa are also injurious if used in excess.— The Cosmopolitan.

How to Keep Cider.

A Pennsylvania paper states that an air-tight bung will not keep apple juice from “working” into a likely liquid. The unregeperate possessor of a barrel of cider usually knocks out the bung and keeps the barrel even full, in a cool place. When the fluid gets “hard” enough to suit liia depraved taste he bungs it tightly up. It still keeps on fermenting and deteriorating until it is too sour to swallow. Temperance people should avoid cider of this coarse quality. There are many good people who offer no strong protest against a glass of cider as the moist of a winter evening’s entertainment if it is not too “hard,” and nobody discusses the percentage of alcohol it contains. “Hard cider” has a bar-room flavor that does not fit such a home. To produce cider suited to their taste the bung is not knocked put. It is tightly fitted to the stave, but there is a hole in it to which is fitted a tube of tin, rubber, or glass. A few inches above the barrel the tube is bent to a horizontal direction and again bent down, and the end is inserted in a bowl of water. As the carbonic acid forms it passes through the tube and escapes in bubbles, while water excludes the air. Fermentation thus slowly proceeds, until the material for the chemical changes is exhausted. It is true that there is alcohol in such cider, but it is brutal to call it “hard." It sends out an aroma so rich with suggestions of autumn ripeness that a temperance man could hardly look at it without feeling a longing at his heart. If the cider is bottled just at this stage it will foam and sparkle like champagne..

The Fashion to Work.

It is the fashion to work. Every woman nowadays, no matter how high her rank or how great her wealth, works as though her bread depended on her industry. There is no moderation in this freak that has bitten all classes like a tarantula, and set them whirling in a lever of occupation. Satan, who used to find so much mischief for idle hands to do, must be at his wits’ end to discover a pair that is not full of play or downright hard work. The moneyed class and the working classes meet on a neutral ground,where millionaires, empresses and princesses rush in for their share of labor, and look with scorn on those who hide their talents in a napkin. The fashionable idler is now as busy as a bee, with the bump of admiration in a state of abnormal development. Perhaps these “swelled heads” of society interfere with the labors of men and women who depend On their art or their mechanical skill to keep the wolf from the door, but it can be said in return that the trained artisan or laborer is always worthy of his hire, and there is no code which prevents a fashion from having its little day.— Exchange.

Almost.

Colonel McWhirter, who had done good serwice- in the Seminole war as the Colonel of a volunteer regiment, settled in Brazos County at an «-early day after the organization of the Kepublic of Texas. He soon became a candidate for the position of Congressman from that district, qnd as such he was called on to address the voters. In the course of his speech he became vary much excited, to such an extent, in fact, that his language ran away with him, so to speak. He said: “Fellow-citizens, I am not one of those who are patriots only in theory. I have put my patriotism into practice. When a savage foe involved my country in jfe bloody and protracted war, I did not remain supinely at home, but with my friends and neighbors took the field. We met the Indians in battle, and I received five wounds in my breast, every one of which was mortal ” Just at this point a man in the audience put his fingers, to his lips and gave a long, shrill whistle, at the end of which the orator, glancing at the incredulous audience, added “almost.”—Boston Globe.

THE HAPPINESS OF ELYSIUM.

Elysium was the name given by the ancient Greeks to the resting place of the righteous dead, where they should enjoy eternal peace aril happiness. None but the pure in heart, the truthful and generous could tread the asphodel meadows of the Elysian fields, and it was a land of everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs. Kate Sherman, of Streator, Ill.; said recently that she had been in Elysium;, though of course she spoke figuratively, it argued that some great good fditdne and joy had come to her. And such, indeed, was the Truth. Mrs. Sherman tells it was in this way: “I have suffered from inflammatory rheumatism for more than thirty years. Heretofore the pain would succumb to the application of hot wet flannel, but at my last attack circumstances had conspired to aggravate the disease, and I became helpless. My hands and feet were swollen enormously, and I suffered almost mortal agony. My physician, bought me a bottle of Athlophoros. After taking the third dose I was in Elysium, and Was free from pain. By the time I had taken a bottle and a half I felt so wonderfully improved that I discontinued the medicine. I have an,ungovernable dislike to all medicine, but I will say that Athlophoros probably saved my life, as I was running down rapidly, and could not have endured the pain much longer. It afforded me the only relief I ever experienced except from hot [Water, and that had failed me.” The Rev. Samuel Porter, of Crete, 111., says of the effect of Athlophoros upon his wife: .“Mrs. Porter was very much benefited by the first bottle. Before she commenced taking it she could hot walk, she was so badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she was soon able to walk. She sleeps well. Mr. John Hews, our neighbor, was very badly.off with the rheumatism last winter, and was not able to work or even to get out of his room. One bottle of Athlophoros cured him, but he has to keep it by him to take when he feels his old difficulties.” Another clergyman, the Eev. G. Hartley, of Huntley, 111., gives this as his experience with the remedy: “For six months I suffered severely from an attack of rheumatism. A friend sent me a notice of several reliable -cpres effected by Athlophoros. I procured the medicine, and less thaii one bottle completely cured me, and I have not had the least indication of a return of the painful disease, I have recommended it to others, and results similar to those in my own case have followed I regard Athlophoros as invaluable.” A. M. Blakney, who lives at the corner of Union and Green streets, Decatur, 111., only confirms the general testimony to the value of Athlophoros when he says: “During the past winter Pwas stricken with a very severe attack of rheumatism —# disease with which I had been afflicted for several years—and was rendered almost helpless, and confined to my bed. 1 I tried various medicines, and was prescribed for by physicians with no avail. Finally I was induced by my druggist to try Athlophoros. I was relieved and cured so quickly that words could not tell my surprise. Ido not hesitate in recommending it to any one suffering with that most painful complaint, rheumatism.” If you can not get Athlophobos of your drugist we will send it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall street. New York.

A Bird Story.

In front of a window where we worked last summer was a butternut tree. A humming-bird built her nest on a limb that grew near the window, and we had an opportunity to watch her closely, and we could look right into the nest. One day there was a very heavy shower. When the first drops fell she came and took in her bill one of two or three large leaves growing close to the nest, and laid this leaf over so completely that it covered the nest; then she flew away. On looking at the leaf we found a hole in it, and in the side of the nest was a small stick that the leaf was fastened to or hooked on. After the storm was over the old bird came back and unhooked the leaf, and the nest was perfectly dry. Statesman.

Feeble Frames, Shaky Nerves

And dyspeptic stomachs are nsnally found In conjunction. Vitality is lacking in all three. How can this be created? Simply .by using Hoatetter's Stomach Bitters with regularity, abstaining from habits inconsonant with health, and by the use of a digestible diet. As ,an initial sten toward the reinforcement of a depleted system, a resort to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is most desirable, since it corrects acidity consequent upon a vitiation of the gastric juices and the presence of bile in the stomach, and having regulated and, as it were, lubricated the digestive mechanism, sets it tnd keeps it at work. An immediate gain in vigor is the result. The food is converted into blood, upon which the system draws for nutrition, the nerves as they acquire vigor become tranquil, the muscular fiber gains substance and hardness, and appetite and sleep improve. Constipation, fevir and ague, rheumatism and fenal ailments yield to the Bitters.

The Eyes of Flies.

The small round projections on the side of the head of the house-fly are not eyes like those to be seen in larger members of the animal kingdom. Each projection contains many thousands of eyes disposed in rows, each one of which is capable of transmitting an impression of outward objects, and by this means a fly can see as well from behind as before, as well above as below, arid is therefore put on its guard against an attack from any direction. An ordinary drone fly has not less than 14,000, and the dragon is the possessor of not less than U 7,000 eyes. It has been practically demonstrated by means of the microscope that each one of those eyes is capable of receiving an independent and distinct' impression,
