By the way, is there a Mr, wood? A St. Louis man drew

$15,000

in the

Louisiana lottery, but lost his reason, J. H. Haverly, of minstrel famenow a miner man In Trinidad, Colotado—has struck a new vein of ore in bis rum a mine, and is making a deal of money.

An inhuman fellow, who cut out horse's tongue, was sentenced last week by Judge Staples, of Springfield, Mass. to three years in the State prison.

Mind reading Is not sjich a queer thing, after all. The average wife can read her husband's thoughts when she asks him for the money to settle that last bonnet bill.

It seems that the faith cure works both ways. A Georgia woman prayed that her husband might fall sick and die and away he went with typhus fever in less than four weeks.

It is said that about the only house on North Delaware street, Indianapolis, that has not a picture of General Harri son in the window is the one occupied by the General himself.

A man in Binghamton, N. Y., who received a legacy of $25,000 paid out $24,000 of it for a fine mansion, and inside of three months he was dead broke aud trying to resell for $15,000.

Out of 300 men discharged from Joliet prison and kept track of for two years, over 300 have been returned to prison again, and not over 120 out of the whole lot were clear of suspicion or surveillance.

When the judge says you must give the prisoner the benefit of a doubt bushel and a half of doubts come bub bling up in the mind of each juryman to ease his conscience over the verdict of "not guilty." "If I am spared to make one more voyage, I shall have completed 600 round trips when I reach Liverpool ou the trip leaving New York on October 30," writes Captain Samuel Brooks, of the Guion steamship Arizonia.

A Philadelphian in moderate circumstances recently gavo a poor woman two twenty-five-cent pieces to hold down the lids of her dead husband's eyes. Just before tho funeral he sent his man around to secure the return of the coins.

A party who ascended Mount Lassens, California, recently, became electrified, the hair of their heads standing out and sparks of electricity flying from the ends of their noses and fingers. The phenomenon was occasioned by an electrical storm.

A fakir scheme is an advertisement stating that tho ad rertiser will send to any one Inclosing the sum of $1 the secretof perpetual life. *The "sucker" who sends the dollar receives by return mail a neat card, on which ire printed the words "Don't die."

An undertaker at Cresco, Iowa, states in an advertisement that he has a number of debtors who, though now living with their second wives, have not paid the funeral expenses of their first ones, and if they do not do so in sixty days he will publish their names.

From January to July twenty-three letter carriers, five clerks, three postmasters and three mail agents went wrong and wore arrested. In no case was the sum of money over 8100, and in some it was only $5. It is strange how Cheap some men hold themselves.

The eccentric Sam Jonos, of Georgia, is said to have prospered temporally while ministering spiritually to the crowds of sinners who go to hear him preach. It is claimed by those who thiiak they kuow that he has saved $100000 since ho quit practicing law and began to preach.

It is a curious historical fact that no President of the United States has ever boon re-elected unless he was either a soldier or had held a chief executive office during the war. Washington, Jjffersou, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant were re-elected. John Adams, John tincy Adams and Van Buren were defoated.

A New York correspondent writes that It is the exception and not the rule for the sons of rich men In this city to squander their patrimony, and says: the Vanderbilts are rapidly increasing their wealth, the Astors have never known a prodigal in their family, the Goeletiof to-day are as thrifty as their ancestors, Peter Cooper's wealth is in good hands and Jay Gould appears to have no son who will throw away his money.

A Methodist minister has given the third party something to think about in his reply to a question as to why he should vote the Republican ticket. Four years ago he voted for St. John, and the third party people, remonntra ting with him for going back to the Re publicans, asked if he did not Intend to vote as he prayed. His answer was: "Yes, shall vote as I pray but I don't intend to do any foolish praying this year."

Among Jay GouldV other Investments is one of nearly half a million dollars in medical attendance. He lias a contract with I)r, William Mnnn whereby the latter devote* his whole lime to the Goold family for twenty yean at a salary of annually. Dr. Mnnn guve up a large and lucrative privats practice. But it is an awful pre* pert for any man to have half a million dollars' worth of docterlng go through and always staring him in the face.

What's a poor burglar going to do for a living if the women of the land get in the habit of going to bed with a loaded revolver within rc.: h? Two or three cases have recently wms to light where burglars have been sli:t and even captured by woman.

A critic in such matters speaking of girls playing the violin, now the most fashionable of instruments, says: "The outline of the ho«t when the fiddle is against tho shouj is given its fullest value, and the poses show the figure to the greatest advantage.

M. Conlgny, who has written a book on the artistic dressmaker of the future, those needlewomen and tailoresses who are studying geometry and drawing, says: "What lovely sartorial symphonies, what delicious harmonies in flounces, what Arcadian poems in petti coats will be evolved from these highly trained seamstresses to delight man kind!"

A pretty, young lady of Seattle, W. T. recently went iuto an employment office in that city and said she was the owner of 160 acres of good farming land in Suchomish county, with sixty acres cleared. She also said she had a small sum of money, and ber object was to se cure a husband who would work the farm and make her a good consort. She left her address with the agent and solicits correspondence from anyone who wishes to socure a steady situation, home and a pretty wife at the same time.

Strange indeed are the ways of women's minds, past man's comprehension. An artist, of Philadelphia, adver tised not long ago for a model. Satisfied that among the stacks of applicants there were many iuacceptibles and unwilling to have his studio beseiged with females he would have to reject, he sent notes to a picked number asking that they pass a given point on Chestnut street at a given hour. He gave direction* so that he would recognize them, his intention being to narrow the number to such as in general characteristics appeared to meet his requirements. XiO aud behold, almost every one refused. They were willing to pose as Psyche or Clytie in a studio, but were shocked at the suggestion of being critically watched by unknown eyes on a publid thor oughfara,

A Chicago firm, says the Herald of that city, had a very elegant parlor set of solid mahogany and the finest upholstering, also duplicates in veneered wood and cheap plush. The costly outfit, which was worth about $200, was displaved in the window and marked: 'This elegant parlor suit only §2Li' One day a mild, meek-looking wo in, examined the furniture an She took a receipt for her left her address. In due ti load of furnituro arrived I She would not permit it to and madeacarcful oxamina" she ordered the driver to taketh back, and followed herself.j was not so mild-mannered aski first visit, and said to the salesman: "Y'ou've tried to swindlo mo. I bought one set of furniture and you have sent me another. Now I want what I have paid for. How do I know? Because in every article of that set you sold me I stuck a pin while you wore not looking. Now, I'm going to pick ojut my property and see that you take it over. If you don't there'll be trouble." There was no trouble.

BEFORE THE MARRIAGE ALTAR. "Doctor, I feel miserable iu mind and body—what shall I take?" asked an old bachelor patient to his physician. "Take a wife," answered the doctor grufily. "Many are the men who have profited by taking this prescription," says the author of "How to be Happy, though Married," in his new book, "The Five Talents of Women," just published by the Scribners. "Before marriage they were worth little, after it worth much. Man never appreciates bis inferiority to woman so thoroughly as when he stands before the altar in the presence of an audience of friends, and hears the clergyman make him husband. Nineoutof ten men in such a position tremble as if they wore about to be arrested for murder, while nine out of ten women go through the ceremony as gracefully as if it were an every-day occurence. And it is ibis timorous creature in a dress suit thut promises to protect the calm and

lncia angel whose orange blossoms are aureole. What delicious sarcasm there is in the thought! And in afterlife, when the husband gets torn up by care, and when a little trouble couies to steal fcway bis piece of mind, how is it then? The woman whom be promised to protect becomes his protector. She sees sunshine through the clouds. She smooths out the wrinkled brow of care. Site props up his flagging spirits. She

IVORY SOAP,

Add sufficient warm water to wash the flannels in one by one. Don't rub any soap on the flannels, but kneed them well in the solution.

Don't rinse them in plain water, use a fresh supply of the solution, warm, and well blued, for the purpose. Don't wring tightly with the hands, use a clothes-wringer. The freer from water you get these garments the softer they will be.

Hang them out immediately, if the weather will permit if not, dry before the fire. If left to stand wet, the flannel will certainly shrink. Never wash flannel in water too hot to bear your hand in.

Never rinse them in cold water. Always use IVORY SOA?, it is the best, xnuch experience has proved this.
