The lire went out, and the little housekeepers set about rekindling it. They replenished the stove with wood, poured kerosene on it in the usual way, and applied a match. The top of tire stove was immediately blown off and the children were enveloped in flames. Some of the neighbors got badly btirned helping the little sufferers.

VARIETY AND HUMOR.

—There is no luck like p-luck. —The tax which presses most heavily on school-boys—Syn-tax. —The potato-rot. is doing considerable damage in Western New York. —Fire is said to he a dissipated element, because it goes out almost every night. —"Goldsmith Maid” hates to acknowledge it, hut she has reached the 20th year of her age. —The Bushes, quite an aristocratic family, are out in fall style, with various shades of red and yellow. —Now the heart of the average woman dilates with pride as she fondly strokes the fur of her seal skin sacque. —lt is said that a human being has 7,000,000 of pores through which perspiration and exhausted particles ot the system escape. We are all pore creatures. —“Do they ring two bells for school ?” said a father to his ten-year-old daughter, who attends the High-School. “ No, pa, they ring one hell twice," she replied. —King Kalakaua is sick, and because a school of red lisli came into the hay of Honolulu lately the superstitious natives believe that their King must die. —The few people of Florida who have been graciously' saved oversummdP are beginning to bestir themselves as cool weather comes on, and invite all the rest of the world to come down there and live. —Under the Constitution of Missouri every city of 100,000 inhabitants is entitled to the right of self-government. St. Louis is tlie only city in the State that can avail itself of the provision. —Three months ago the Montana papers would have stated that a horse-dealer had been invited to a hempen-necktie sociable ; now they say that the citizens have put a pull-back cravat on him. —The Marietta (Ga.) Jturnal was told by a gentleman the other day that human spittle was as deadly to poisonous snakes as their bites were deadly to man. He says while picking up a bundle of straw and trash under his arm, while cleaning a field, a ground rattlesnake, four feetlong, crawled out from it and fell to the ground at his feet. He at once placed his heel upon the head of the snake and spit in its mouth. Shortly afterward the showed symptoms of inactivity and sickness, and he picked it up by its talk and carried it to t\e house and showed it to his wife, telling her he had spit in its mouth and that it was poisoned. At the expiration of fifteen minutes the snake was dead. To further experiment he came across a blowing adder (snake), which ejected from its mouth a yellowish liquid. He caught it and spit in its mouth and it died. He caught another blowing audit refused to open its mouth. Hespitupona stick and rubbed the spittle upon the adder’s nose and it died. Afterward he came across a black-snake, regarded as not poisonous, and he caught it and spit in its mouth. Instead of the spittle killing the black-snake, as it did the poisonous reptiles, it only made it stupidly sick, from which it recovered. This conclusively shows that poisonous snakes have as mnch to fear from the spittle of man as man has to fear from their bites.

Traveling.

The great mistake which most people make about traveling is that they travel without any object except that of doing As other people do.; They think they must follow certain routes, adhere to a certain j routine and see certain things, even if they do not interest them in the least Those who never care to look at a picture at home spend days in? wearily dragging themselves through interminable picturegalleries. They may be seen standing bored to death before the masterpieces of ; Tintoret and Veronese. Those who do not know whether their own parish church is Norman or' Tudor, and moreover do not care a straw, spend weeks in rushing from one cathedral town to another, vainly trying to remember which had a campanile and which a baptistery, so that they may have some new- dinner talk when they return from abroad. Those who can barely distinguish a manuscript from a printed book will take the greatest trouble to obtain introductions to all the principal librarians in Europe, who will be expected to waste valuable time in showing them treasures which they- can neither appreciate nor understand. All this is very foolish, and a useless waste of time and money. Almost every one has some taste, and is capable of enjoying something Which traveling can procure for him. If a man is fond of his garden at home, but does not know a Titian from a Greuze, why does he pretend to look at pictures when he goes abroad, instead of trying to see sqme fine gardens, and to find out what new plants he could acclimatize ? He will always be able to get hints, even from those who may not know so much as he does himself, and, what he will find still more pleasant, he may air his favorite theories before an audience who have not heard them at every public dinner and every magistrates’ meeting in his county for twenty years. If a country gentleman likes turnips and mangolcl-wurtzel, and is great upon the fattening of pigs, there is nothing to be ashamed of in so useful a taste; and when he travels let him stop at country places, and see how the inhabitants farm, and find out what different breeds of cattle are kept in different provinces. There is no occasion tor him to stare at early stained glass until his eyes aclie, or spend hours in the catacombs listening to a lecture on the primitive Christians, when he would rather he in a pig-sty. One man takes an interest in social questions, such as pauperism and compulsory education, hut does not in the least care what particular ornament was discovered on the vases last dug up at Pompeii. Why should he pretend to do so ? He can easily get introductions to native reformers, who will show him how the poor are housed and take him to as many schools and prisons as he likes to inspect. Another may care more for a beetle or a butterfly than for the most hardened criminal or the most illiterate peasant; but he, too, by tlie operation of the same law, will probably confine his attention to early Italian reliefs aud Etruscan inscriptions. When a large party intend' to travel together it will save much trouble and fatigue if a couple of the most capable are told off, one to see after the engaging of rooms, the other to order the" food required. When a hungry party arrive late at an hotel cold and tired, or hot and tired, as the case may be, it is distressing to see how long they often take to make up their minds what they will have for supper. Tire weakest and most starving have to wait for the rest. But see a pair of Frenchmen in a similar case. 1 hey order provisionally at once the inevitable omelette. A fncandeau cold from the tabk-d'hote helps them on. Cheese, salad, fruit and some biscuits finish a very sufficient repast before their English l'ellowtravelers have spelled out half the carte. We may wonder how foreigners can be content.to live under “ such a government,” hut they may well wonder how we can continue to exist without finding out how to feed ourselves.— Loudon Saturday Review.

Romantic Story of an Earl’s Daughter.

A New York correspondent of the Chicago Times tells a romantic story of a young lady now residing in the former city, who may he seen daily passing through the streets or riding in the streetcars from her home to the suburbs with a roll of manuscript in lier hand, on her way to the offices of the magazines or the weekly papers, trying to dispose of the productions upon which she is dependent for her daily bread. She is the daughter of tlie Earl of Gainsborough, whose London Residence is on Cavendish Square, is the ownOr of the superb estates aud palaces of Exton Park, Oakham and Cottesmore, in Rutlandshire, besides Campden House, in Gloucestershire; but his brilliant daughter, Lady Blanche, whose baptismal name, as will be seen by reference to any recent edition of “Burke’s Peerage,” was Blanche Elizabeth Mary Anunciata, is lost to his sight, if not to his memory. Her mother, the deceased wife of the Earl Of Gainsborough, was Lady Augusta, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Erroll. Her two brothers are Viscount Campden and Lord Edward, and her two younger sisters are Lady Georgiana and Lady Frances. While in her twenty-first year she fell in love with a young organist named Murphy, and, contrary to the wish ot her family, she marrie'dhim. The mesalliance of the daughter of so great a house was a surprise and horror to the Earl, who in his wrath disowned her, forbade her returning to the ancestral halls, and cut her off from all the heritage of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy soon experienced the trials of penury and adversity in London, and four years ago, or within the first year after their marriage, they arrived in New York, where they again felt the pressure of straitened circumstances. But Lady Blanche was persevering, and some of her sparkling manuscripts soon found acceptance and brought her a,little income. Among other things she contributed to the Galaxy a series of brilliant essays on English high life and the English aristocracy which attracted much notice. The American citizen is around, and the fast-mail trains have done the arousing. The American citizen wants to know why passenger trains cannot run as , fast as mail trains. He is perfectly willing to risk it. —Detroit Free Press. The latest discovery at Pompeii is that of the figure of a woman lighting a fire in the cook-stove while her husband is asleep in bed.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’a Sea Weed Tonic. Schenck's Mandrake Pills, are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption. Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage follows, and. in fact, they clog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many persons complain of a dull pain in the side, constipation. coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. - These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so attected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and, almost before they are aware, the lungs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, the result of which is death. Schenck’a Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines nre prepared only by J. H. Schknck & Son, N. E. cor. 6th and Arch-sts, Philad’a, aud are for sale by all druggists aud dealers.

The strange Disease.

Like the thief at night, it steals in upon us unawares. The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After awhile a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tirecl all tlie while, and sleep does not appear to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings: There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling “sensation iu tlie head when rising up suddenly. The bow,els become costive, the skin is dry and hot at times. Tlie blood becomes thick and stagnant, the whites of tlie eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the rood, sometimes witli a sour taste and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart. The visidn becomes impaired with spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of treat prostration and weakness. All of hese symptoms do not make their appearance at one time, but during the various stages they are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men nave mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, some for dyspepsia, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., biit none of these various kinds of treatment have been attended with success. It is found, however, that the Shaker Extract of Roots (not a patent medicine), when prepared properly, will remove the disease in all its stages. Care should be taken to procure a good article.
