Not long asro a young won! an tn New Jersey was married to a youthful aborer on her father's farm. Sometime afterward it was discovered that tlic hus- l)and was a female; the. young wife refused, jiowever, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her chosen consort. The ,Strangest part of the discovery was 1 he fact that the bride knew her husband Wax a woman before she was led to the Altar. If men do not exhibit this strange infatu­ ation for one of their own sex. they at least ©fttntimes give evidence of the fact that they love on© another. Thera are many "Instances on record whore one man has ICiveii his lifdfor another. There are many 'Inore instances where men have given life to another. • It is a proud possession--the knowledge that one has saved a precious human life. Meriden, Conn., is the home of such a happy »nan. John II. Preston, of that city. July ll, 1890, writes: "Five years ago I wan taken very sick. I had several of the best doctors, and one and all called it a compli­ cation of diseases. I was sick four years, taking prescriptions prescribed by these Same doctors, and I truthfully state I never expected to get any better. At this time, I (Commenced to have the most terrible pains In my back. One day an old friend of mine, "|jr. it. T.

A boy 7 or 8 years old, whoso parents live on Third avenue, was beating a «nim in the alley, when a neighbor ap­ peared and asked: , "How much did your father pay for ' that drum, sonny?" "Two shillings, sir." "Will you take a dollar for it?" "Yes,sir, ma said she hoped I'd sell it lor ten cents." The exchange was made and the drum put where it wouldn't do any more good, And the neighbor chuckled over his Stratagem. Ilowever, when he got t»ome at night there wore four drums >|>eating in front of his house, and the drummer hoy was quick to inform him: . "These are my cousins, and I took that dollar and bought four new drums. Do ' you want to give us 34 for them?"

If it attacks the breathing organs, the issuo is consumption; if the digestive apparatus, the issue is dyspepsia and de­ bility; if the nniscics, the issue is rhcu- tuatlsm; if the nerves, the issue is paraly- is; if the glandular system. tl»e issue is in boils and other superficial exhibitions of corruption. It is a mistake to characterize It as unseen. What festers your skin on tfevery little abrasion? Scrofula. What gives that lmck to your cough on exposure to the slightest damp and cold? Scrofula. What makes your food an oppression? Scrofula. What racks and twists the bones tind sinews as you grow old? Scrofula.

It is your duty to yourself, your family, iknd your race to manfully oppose and dis­ lodge this demon. How? We can only say that others who were afflicted as you are have found relief and cure in a moderate use of Hood's Sarsaparllla, that compound in which the skill of the modern pharmacist and the science of the roost advanced med­ ical knowledge unite for the benefit of suf­ fering humanity. , TIIE Rev.

I was first mato of the ship Triumph, bound from Boston to New Orleans'; with an asserted cargo of great value. The Captain, Babbit by name, was an oddity in every way. He always struck for new course*, toot all tracks but those prescribed by custom, and thought nobody knew anything but himself. • " For instance,,, ho insisted that a eounter-current ran southward inside of the Gulf Stream, and that the only way to make a quick voyage to New Orleans was to hug close in on the shore f-ide of it all the way out, despite the danger of capes, rocks, and reefs, the whereabouts of which he said he knew too well not to avoid them. Who could gainsav him? He was Captain of his own ship--monarch of it and all aboard. So, sailing with a stiff nor'-wester on our quarter, we s^ed swiftly on, passing ail the dangers of the coast successively, such as Barne- gat, Hatteras, etc.. and found ourselves on a morning suddeuly becalmed off Cape Florida, close in with the iand, but soon drifting northward despite the Captain's "southerly current." It was very clear--not a cloud in sight --warm and close, tliongh it was Sep­ tember, and the time for an equinoctial gale to bo upon us. „ "Heave the deep-sea lead, Mr. R.," said the Captain to me, "..nd see if it is shoal enough to get a t anchor to hold." I sounded, and furty fathoms was given. "Bend two hawsers together and drop our heaviest keclge," was the next order. "Then close furl every sail but the fore-storm-stay-sail and balauce-reefed- spauker, send down all the light spars from aloft, and get ready to house top­ masts and secure lower yards, get up preventer-braces and see all secure be­ low and aloft." "Ay, ay, sir!" And it was done.. tWe were now ready for a storm, but I, o!d as I am in sea matters, could see no token of it anywhere. 5J" We're going to have a tough time of it, Mr. R.," said Capt. Babbit to me. "Why, sir," said I, "the sky is as clear as my love's dear eyes, and the water is as smooth as a mill-pond. 1 see no sign of wind." "Wait about ^wo hours and youll sing another tune," lie replied. "I've been in these latitudes before. The worst of this will be that it will come dead off shore, and if Ave must scud, Cuba aud her ieefs will be under our lee. If we bump our heads there, it will be the last of the old Triumph and us toe." I made no rcnly, for I thought it only one of his fancies, and leaving the second mate in charge of the deck, went below to take a nap, for I'd had the mid watch and felt rather snoozish. I went to my state-room and threw my­ self on my bnuk, and soon was dream­ ing of a blue-eyed augel ashore, whom I hope to be spliced to at a not far dis­ tant time. A heavy trampling over­ head and the shout of "all hands ahoy!" brought me out of sleep, and to my feet in an instant. I hurried on deck. Never can I forget the change of scene, of sky and sea, from the calm beauty in which I had left it when I went "be­ low. Now, blaok clouds were rolling up to the northward, coming on in great blotchy waves, like crags of ebon mountains, overhanging and about to fall upon us. The sea was black under the shadowy wing of the storm, and the roar of the tempest, like a hoarse, angry voice, came to our ears from a distance. "Up with the fore-storm-staysail-- never mind the spanker," shouted the Captain. "You two mates take the helm; men lash yourselves to the rigging, it will wash us fore and aft before we get headway." And seizing an axe from the becket, he bounded forward and cut away the hawser which held us at anchor. As he did this, I looked off on our • starboard beam and saw the water ap­ parently rolling in a huge white cloud towards us. The next instant the wind struck us and for a moment I thought all was over, for the ship keeled until her lower yard-arms were in the water. "Hard up--hard up the helmP shouted the Captain in my ear. I could but just hear him, and point­ ing to the wheel, he saw that his order had been anticipated. Just then away went our mizen-mast clo*e by the deck, and that alone saved ns, for now her head played off before the wind, and the ship righted. Then the staysail filled; aud away the old craft shot, like an arrow sped Irom a well-strung bow. As we got out into the gulf the sea rose literally so hard that the foam was scattered in cloudy mists through the air. "How does she head?" asked the Captain, who stood forward of the wheel. "Sou'-sou'-west, 6ir," I replied in a shout, for the gale drowned all common tODC<. "If she goes at this rate and holds that course we will strike Cubau rock inside of ten hours 1" he cried. j "Why not try to heave* her to?" I asked. "In sncli a sea and gale we would be keeled up in a minute were we to try it; all our hope is in a change of wincC or a lull which will let us put the mainsail on her." "This looks rough, but what is to bo will be. There is no rubbing that out," T replied; and then I did my best to steer as nicely as I could, so that no broaching to should hasfeu our fate. On, on--once passing a hapless vessel drifting bottom up, with, her sails and spars alongside of her--we swept, until the night was upon ns. Then the Cap- I tain and a good seaman relieved us from j the helm and I had time to think. I went below and looked at the chart; 1 j made an estimate of our speed, aud to my horror saw we could not be over twenty, or, at most, thirty miles to winward of the rockiest part of the Cnban coast I went on deck sick at heart, for sea and ga!e i-eenied higher than ever. I told the Captain how near the last peril was, but he did not seeat to heed me. He stood with his shoulder to the wheel, and the ship flew madly on. Never had she sailed with such speed before. I went forward, aud white I looked at the phosphoric flime flashing from be­ neath the bow X. thought of home, of my own dear Ella--and I groaned in bitter agony. I never before had feared death, but now so near, it was terrible! An hour, maybe more, and then I heard ail too plain, even above the wild roar of the storm, the sound >-,o sullen and deep of the urging breakers. I rushed aft and shouted the fearful tid ings in the Captain's ear. "God help u*!--Gc d help nsl" was alt he said. An instant iVer we wee in ofhite, seething, hissing water, and then, lifted skyward on a mouutaiu roller, we were dashed down with a terrible crash upon the dreaded rocks. Darkness above-- flashing phosphorism all around--the ship shattering, parting beneath our feet, men shrieking in wild misery--my pen cannot paint the picture! And now wave after wave swept on over us, 'lifting the. ship'up and crush­ ing her down, tearing her all asunder, aud yet I clung to a rope which I had fastened to a bolt in the deck, not knowing whether one was alive beside me or not, for all was silent but the winds and waters. Like howling de­ mons they went on with their fearful chorus. How long seemed that night, while I oould feel that the shattered remnants of the old ship were going fast from un­ der. me!. But the blessed daylight came at la«t. and even the sun slion^ out. And I saw, lashed like myself to the deck, but one man--that man was the Captain. Whiter than foam was his face, and full as white his hair, which had been glossy brown on the dav be­ fore. Our eves met--his were wild and wolfish--insanity's fire was in them. The sea now drove the last part of the wreck asunder, and for a moment I thought we both were gone; but on one hight spot of rock we got a foothold, and there clutching the coral crag with bleeding hands we hung. Until then neither of tts had looked away from each other or the wreck; But together glancing southward, there we saw, not a mile distant, beautiful.* flower-carpeted, fruit-laden Cuba. White cottage^, groves of golden oranges, and tali palm trees; never had they looked so beautiful to i>». Yet a mile of terrible breakers lay between us and it--a " waste of waters" through which the strongest swimmer could not hope to pass. And the ship was gone--no, one plank--a single plank, small, but large enough for one to cling to, came drift­ ing in our reach. With one baud each of us seized it, while with the other we clung to the peak of rock which alone had saved us from instant destruction. "Let go the plank! it is mine. I will lash myself to it aud live!* cried the Captain, his eyes glaring fiercely on me. "I will not yield my right; the plank is mine, and life is as dear to me as to you!" I shouted. A "I have a wife and children; you have none; let me lire for them!" he pleaded. "I have one dearer than all the world; I will live for her who yet shall be my wife!" I cried. • "Fool--fool! she shall look for you in vain P And as be said this he drew a pistol from his bosom. Well I knew it wae capped, waterproof--well I knew how sure lie was in • aim; but I drew the plank towards me which he had let go of. when he clutched his weapon. He raised his hand, his weapon was leveled at my heart. "Give up the plank!" he shouted. "Never, coward--never! Fire, and mv dying curse go with you !* 1 closed my eyes--I knew my fate-- but a wild rush of water, a fearful wave, swept me far, far away from the rock. Then I was drowning--gurgling, chok­ ing in the water. But I rose, and as I did, something hard touched my body. I clutched it--it was that blessed plank. To it I clung with a death grasp; yet it seemed as if I was doomed to die, after all, for the waters covered me, and I lost all consciousness. But not for all time. I was restored to a knowledge that dear life was yet mine by the kind acts of Cubans, who had drawn my body, yet clinging to the plank, from the surf, and were applying stimulants when I opened my glad eyes once more on the face of bright hu­ manity. I asked if any others had ' got to the shore. They carried me to»a mournful- looking group of bodies. I saw several of the crew, but not him--not the Cap­ tain. But oven while we stood there a great rollfng wave swept him in, and for an instaut I thought he lived, he looked so grim, with the pistol yet clutched in his hand. But he was cold and dead, and after they bore him to the corpse-pile of the rest, and I had grown stronger, I took the pistol from his stiffened grasp, took aim at a piece of the wreck and fired. The bullet which had been intended for my heart went deep into the oaken wood. I went down on my knees then and there, and thanked the Almighty that I was saved for mv poor Ella; and though I have fcince done a sailor's duty in pro­ tecting and aiding the widows and or­ phans of the poor Captain, I never have been so nnselfish as to regret that lhad possession of the last plauk. Tennessee Superstition. The greatest excitement is being cre­ ated in Woaklfty County, Tennessee by the appearance of a witcn in the family of Frank Hays, living near Greenfield. Mr. Hays' granddaughter, about 14 years of age, is the object upon which the wicked phantom has centered. The young laJy is prostrated and hun­ dreds are flocking there to soc the effects of the attack, which, strange to say, no one can explain. She is perfectly ?ane until she hears them coming, when she goes into violent spasms, and declares she can hear roaring as „ like distant thunder, and she can set* animals mak­ ing their way to her. Now comes the strangest part of the story, and a number of the most reliable men in the county can vouch for this as a fact, there being eyewitnesses to the same. After each attack a small roll or bat of cotton is found clinging to the victim's neck just above her breast, and the most incredible ones have held their hands very lightly against her neck and found, after the spell is over, beneath their hands the mysterious cotton. When the rumor first went out that this strange case was in the country the peo­ ple ali ridiculed it, but the excitement is now at its height on account of all being at a loss to account for the whole affair. A DIMSM UNACCOUNTABLY 1'I-ETalent. The prevalence of ailments attributable to miasmatic poison in the air that people breaths, and the water they drin';, is well nigh unaccountable. Not alone, iu pestilential swamps, badly drained suburban distActs, and marshea exposed to the sun's rays by the re­ ceding tide, is this scourge of humanity found. Even in great cities, healthfully located, skill­ fully sewered, well looked after in every respect iu a sanitary way, we find maUiia. Its pres­ ence is often inexplicable, but its attacks axe always preventable. The protector is Hostet- ter's Stomach Hitters.

Tight Collar* CaMe Dlnesia A chapter might be written on the deleterious effects of tight collars, and especially of that variety which projects ptifily beneath the neck, to the manifest discomfort of (he wearer and amusement of beholders. By compressing the veins, tbey of course, interfere with the return of the blood from the head, and thereby pro­ mote red noses and pimpled faces, against which ali the cosmetic lotions iu the world are of no avail so long as the mechanical cause is allowed to re­ main. Tight collars are even accused--and with some show of reason--of cansing serious defects of the visual apparatus, due to heightened blood pressure aris> ing from the artificial impediment to the blood flow at the root of the u»ck.

One of the most unique labor-saving devices is a candle-lighting clock re­ cently invented by a German. The candlo is placed closo to an arm which is attached to the clock. There is a sort of fuse attachment which connects with^he wick of the candle. At the given hour for which the mechanism is set the arm comes down upon a match: this lights the fuse.- which carries the flame to the wick. If one must rise In the night, it is a nice thing to have a light all ready when one gets up. Will the Chinese Own the Earth* Some day a great general or law-giver will arise in China, and the Chinese, who have been motionless for three cen­ turies, will begin to progress, writes Lord Wolseley, in the Review of Eevietrx. Thev will take to the profession of arms and then they will hurl themselves upon the Russian empire. Before the Chinese armies--as they possess every Military virtue, are stolidly indifferent to death and capable of inexhaustible endurance --the Russians will go down. Then the Chinese armies will march westward. They will overrun India, sweeping us into the sea. Asia will belong to them, and then, at last, English, Americans, Australians will have to rally for a last desperate conflict. So certain do I regard this that I think one iixed point of our policy should be to strain every nerve and make every sacrifice to keep on good terms with China. China Is the coming power.
