It . has pasted its tears upon brutes of men an its 'prayers upon hardened' women, an' its

Detroit Free Press. Silence Fell Upon the Scene. He is a choleric old gentleman, whose objurgatory powers are as varied as they are forcible, and, who, when he opens his shoulders, talks more nutmeg graters, cross-cut saws, and tin tacks than any man in Fall River; and who can swear at a moon-baying-dog, or a political reformer in a style that will paralyze the one and make the other die of sheer want of incapacity to understand the linguistical whaling he has. A big-hearted, generous and wideawake old gentleman is he; one of those before whom book agents tremble and lightning-rod peddlers stand abashed. One day, when it was wet and nasty, he was puttering around some property in which he has an interest, bossing the workmen and generally instructing and well, we will say blessing everybody within earshot. Just at this moment his good lady popped her head out of the door, and seeing the mud-bespattered condition of the old gentleman's pants and boots, said : "See here, James dear, if you attempt to come into this house before you've scraped your pants and cleaned that nasty yellow mud off your boots I'll set the dog on you. I'm not going to have my carpets mussed up because you've taken a fancy to go around in the dirt, bossing the workmen, and fancying that you have a big railroad contract which you are putting through. You hear me?" He did. And then he got up and objected until there was a blue and sulphury air all the way from Globe Valley to Steep Brdok, and the people down on the fiats wore wondering what was the cause of cho coppery taste with which their oxygen was being impregnated. He objurgated the mud and objurgated the house. He objurgated the mud on his shoes and pants and blessed the shoes and pants. He anathematized the man who invented mud and pitched into the man .who spread the mud around the houses. He darned the woman who growled and the cause that made her growl. He swore seven storieshigh at the man who had mud on his shoes and pants, blighted the man who built those aiticles of comfortable wear, and scarified the ' remorseless idiots who were laughing at the fun, and wound up by a grand peroration in which he verbally condemned and scalped everything over an inch and a half high. By this tinie the workmen had taken to the woods, the paint on thd fences had been blistered and a sick cow in the. next field was dying m threeableaux.

If with the higher degree of heat, the doors and windows; are kept open during the entire season, as -may. be easily and comfortably done, the evil would not be so great, but, as, generally managed, it is the gravest mistake in our phT&ical life. ; ' ' If in the window-6hutter df a dark room you open a small aperture, and look in ' the jet of light as it streams through1 the room, you will discover that the air is full of floating motes, The air of our houses is always crowded with these. . In their ordinary condition they are not mischievous, but after they have been exposed to contact with a heated surface, they do poison us. Millions of these carbonized particles come from the stove or furnace to poison our lungs. IE you would have good throat, lungs, and nerves, sit by an open fire, and keep as far as possible from stoves and furnaces. If you cannot escape those evils, wear more clothing, especially upon the feet and legs, and keep the doors and windows open. Most people, even many intelligent reformers, have the idea that to sleep in a cold room is good essential to health. It is an error. It is better to have an open fire in yonr bed room. The atmosphere is not only by this means constantly changed, but you will keep the window open, which will add greatly to the needed ventilation. But more than this, with the fire you will have fewer bed clothes over you, which is a gain, as a large number of blankets not only interferes somewhat with the circulation and respiration, but prevents the escape of those gases which the skin is constantly emitting. Even furnace or stove heat with an open window is better than a close, cold room. Interchauge with theexternal atmosphere depends upon the difference between ihe temperature of the' air within and that without. Dr. Dio Leivis. ? Hales lit Mines and Tunnels. Mr, Adolph Sutro, of mining fame, gives ' m a New.. . Orleans paper his views of the value of . mules for, underground work,; In comparing t them with horses he makes these statements : It has been said that they have a strong propensity for kicking but I have never seen them kick whenui a tunnel. They become very tame -in. fact, they become quite the miners pets. The men become quite attached to them; and as the shift mules pass along by the men at lunch, they will often receive fyom one a piece of pie, and from another a cup of coffee, etc. When a signal is given to 'fire a blast the mules understand the signal, and will try to got ouUof the way of it just as the men do. Of course under ground it is very dark, and the mules become so accustomed to darkness that even when they go out into the sunlight they can not see very well, and when they go back from the sunlight into the mine they cannot see at alL So we are in the habit of covering one eye with a piece of cloth whenever they go out, and keep the covering over the eye until they go into the tunnel again; we then xemoye the cloth, so they have one good eye to see with. We had t adopt this plan for preserving the sight, because the mule is so stubbon that he will not pull unless he can see his way ahead. We have found out another thing about mules. We tried horses at' first, but we found that whenever anything touched the ears of a horse he would throw up his head and break his skull against the overhanging rock; but if you touch a mule's ears he drops his 1 head. For that reason we could not use horses. . We employed mules and they have answered very well. A Suduen Thought. An aged African, over whose head so many seasons had passed that scarcely a hair was left upon it, called at the Gratiot Avenue Station, and said to the captain in charge : "Sah! de boys up my way won't let me alone!" "What's the matter ?w "Why, sah, I can't move out but dey am on de watch to call me ole baldhead." "I see." "What can I do, sah?" "I'd buy a wig if I were you." "An kiver up de baldness?" "Yes."
