As Hiram and Peter were going to . school one day they passed Farmer Johnson's orchard, in which were sev­ eral trees loaded with harvest apples. "Let us help ourselves," said Hiram as he luid down his books. "By no means," answered Peter. "It Would be stealing." "What! Just to take a few apples?" "Yes. They belong to another." "Then, coward., go on and I will help myself!" exclaimed Hiram, and he was quickly over the fence. Now the farmer's big dog ought to have rushed out and bitten Hiram in all his legs, and when he got to school the teacher ought to have tanned his jacket, and his father should have sent him to the farmer to confess his guilt and sue for pardon. But nothing of the sort happened. He filled his pockets with apples, was patted on the head by the school teacher and had the pleasure of •eeing the honest Peter fall down at recess and break his off-leg.--Detroit Free Press. ^ Poisons and Their AntldotejC The following brief summary of the most rational and simple antidotes to the commoner forms of poison in daily use by artisans has been compiled for the American Analyst by Dr. Francis Wyatt, and it will be seen that he has suggested the most appropriate to be applied in any emergency, pending the arrival or in the total absence of a •killed medical practitioner. 1.

Horace fcreely stiff one time after he had swallowed something the wrong way: "Of all horned cattle deliver me from the college graduate who wishes to become a newspaper man." Once the managing editor of a well- known San Francisoo paper brought a young man into the city editor, and, in­ troducing him, said that he was a grad­ uate of the State University, and de­ sired to be a journalist. "Yes," said the young graduate, "I want to start in on* the bottom round of the ladder and work up," and he smiled wish the deep satisfaction of having already given the veteran journalist a sample of his saw­ mill resolution. The city editor said he wa3 glad to know that he bod no objec­ tion to starting in on the bottom round. There was nothing just then for him to climb.after, but if he would sit down and read the paper for awhile something might turn up. In about fifteen min­ utes something did turn up. Word camc that a prominent merchant had failed. The city editor told young 'var­ sity to go to the merchant, apprise him of the rumor, with the assurance that he did not believe it, and lay open the oolumns of the paper for amy explana­ tions that he might choose to make. The young graduate went out with aa elastic step, and returned in about ten minutes with a spotted shirt front and a pallid face. A gentle snicker went up from the other reporters. The city editor' looked up from his work and asked what was the matter. *The young graduate in a faltering voice said that he had been ruthlessly ejected, and carried part of the swinging glass with him as lie came out without his hat. The city editor nodded a nod that may have been to the stranger somewhat am­ biguous, and went on with his work. The young graduate stood awhile near the desk shaking with fright, and at a loss to know what to do. He said, finally, "What shall I do about it?" "Do about itf replied the city editor, in a business sort of a way, "Why, write it up." "What, write about me getting thrown ont?" asked the graduate in amazement. "Certainly," replied the city editor, emphatically. The astonished young applicant for journalistic honor* slid ont of the side door and haft never l>een heard of since. He had mounted the bottom round and had fallen off. Stray Shot* frcm Dickens. Charles Dickens had a ready tongue as well as a pen moved by the" eletrical currents of genius. A writer in Tem­ ple Bar says that Dickens was one night listening to a gentleman's atrocious singing of a popular song, and had born the infliction with great gravity, until the singer suddenly ended on a high note, with a flourish known in musical language as a "turn.1" Then he flashed on a friend present a look of amazement. • "What did he mean by doing that?" asked the friend. "Oh, that's quite in rule in music, as well as in proverbial philosophy," was Dickens' grave answer. "Whenthings are at their worst, they alwayB take a turn." One evening his friend M entered the room wearing a ridiculously long stock, which Dickens began surveying with a thoughtful, puzzled expression. "Holloa, Charley! What are you staring at my stock for?" inquired he. A heavy load of doubt seemed to be lifted from the mind of Mr. Dickens. He heaved a sigh of relief, and beamed with satisfaction. "Stock! It is really meant for a stock, is it ? I am so glad to know you • - - - ful so painful to nded it for a meant it for that! It was so think you might have waistcoat!" Dickens had once gone for a few hours to the Tivoli Gardens, a place of public resort, and was there followed about by a man who evidently re­ cognized him, and wished to pick up any stray crumb of conversation he might let fall. Suddenly Dickens turned, lifting his hat with elaborate politeness, and inquired: "Pray, sir, may I ask if you are a native of this place ?" "No--no--sir. I am not," stammered the other, confused. "Oh, I beg your pardon. I fancied I could detect broad stares (Broadstairs) on your very face."--Youth's Compan­ ion. Down East Pnmpkia Pie* A family who had migrated to town from way Down East secured .my valu­ able services as "help" one winter, and my knowledge thereby gained of real old-fashioned cooking has "helped" me since in a hundred ways. We used pumpkins--the real Jack-o-lantern kind --and prepared enough to last several weeks. This will keep well in the modern glass can with frequent scald- ings in a hot bath. We had to dry it if it "got ahead" of us. We made only one or two pies at a times as they should be eaten hot from the oven like a pudding. Chop the "vegetable" in sections--peel it if you can--and boil all day, stirring often till it is dry and brown. I used to stew it till soft, and then peel it and replace in the kettle to finish. For one large or two small modern pies allow three cooking spoon­ fuls, heaping, of hot pumpkin, one tea- soonful of ginger, a little salt, one spoonful of molasses, and one-half cup­ ful of brown, or a little more of crushed maple sugar, one tablespoonful of flour stirred smooth in a little milk. Beat this all together well till light. Add gradually one and one-half pints of boil­ ing milk. We couldn't have, all the cream or butter we wanted, as it was war time, but the pies will bear all of either you dare to use. Better use plates enough. They are not good if filled too thick, like a squash pie, as they require a brisk baking to make them light--a slow oven ruins them. When they rise up in the middle, they are done. Carrots were sometimes used in the same fashion in that far-away "East-ward."--An Andover, Mass.. iam • ___ T» Care Black Eyes. A doctor says in the St. Louis Globe- Democrat: "Physicians have been looking for something that will quickly remove traces of a black eye. Put an oyster on it, and tie raw beef on it, is the usual advice, as common as it is use­ less. When the blood once becomes extravasated nothing can be done but to let nature do the work, although bathing with warm water will assist the process. I have, however, found that when the injury is fresh, and before the blood has had a chance to coagulate, that a strong infusion or tea made of cayenne pepper, and applied with a brush to the point that threatens dis­ coloration, will keep the blood in cir­ culation and prevent the black eye from forming." A Lynx in the wtapacts. Twas a warm morning m September when I shouldered my rifle and started with my dog tor the "Giant's Basin," hoping to bring home a fine buck, for the venison waa running low at the camp, and in this region wihter sets in early, and when first here, stays. The basin was a favorite "lick" for deer, and this fall had been a plentiful one for them. The road led through sunny Keene Valley, where it turned up the mountain and led for the rest of the way along the sides of different ledges, sometimes high in the air, and again along the dry ledge of a mountain stream. At last the basin was reached, and after waiting an hour or more my patience was rewarded by obtaining a fat young buck, which I quartered and hung on a tree, to await the arrival of a party of trappers who t were going to join me at the basin on the foltywing morning. Before preparing for the night I took it into my head to have a partridge for supper, and started out accordingly. Luck seemed against me, and I was about to turn back for the basin, when to my dismay 1 had not the least idea which way to turn, and it had grown very dark, the wind had come up, and every appearance of a cold night per­ vaded the air. While pondering what to do, the wind brought to my ears a cry or moan so faint as to be hardly heard above the whispering balsams, but all doubt was removed by a second cry much nearer and more distinctly than the first. I now realized what the cry meant, and I knew that the smell of fresh venison had attracted the nose of one of the ugliest animals of the forest, the Canadian lynx, or bob-cat. Before I could make ready for an attack or find a place of shelter, the boughs ahead of me parted, and with a yell the lynx, for such it proved to be, sprang straight for my shoulders, and would have struck me full in the chest had I not retained presence of mind to drop on one knee and thus receive the whole weight of the animal on my heels. We both turned, but the cat was just a little bit qnicker, aud, catching my arm in his open jaws, rolled me over on my back, and at the same time settled his claws well into my hunting jacket. With the arm that was free I struggled desper­ ately to reach my hunting knife, that I might the sooner end the struggle, which was beginning to severely tell on my strength. At last my arm was free from his jaws; he had dropped it in order to use his teeth to better effect on my throat, aud had nearly accomplished this when from under the bushes I saw a black, shaggy mass fly through the air and fasten itself on the back of the cat, who rolled over and prepared for another struggle, which I ended by plunging my knife to his heart, and thus saving my dog, for it was my watchful friend, from a struggle that must in­ evitably end in a victory for the bob-cat. I slept that night with a lynx for a pil­ low and a dog for a foot-board, and was awakened next morning by trappers who had come in search of me, not find­ ing me at the basin. By the afd of poles we carried the cat home, and when! measured it was found to reach twelve feet, tip to tip, being the largest speci­ men of the kind ever killed in the country.- -Boston Traveler. In Pure Water and lee* "It is very hard," says Prof. Tonry, "to convince some people that a glass of perfectly clear, colorless water, with no odor or taste, may be more impure than water coming from the kitchen sink which may he used to wash cooking utensils, yet in many cases I have found such water." This is a striking state­ ment. but Mr. Tonry is able to demon­ strate that it is based on a multitude of well-studied facts. There is no abso­ lutely pure water in nature, but there are limits beyond which the contamina­ tion of drinking or cooking water cannot be safely allowed to go. The presence of chlorine in water indicate the kind of organic impurity dangerous to health. A drop of solution of nitrate of silver is a convenient test. If it produces in a tumbler of the water in question a white cloud, chlorine and its related impuri­ ties are present to a probably danger­ ous extent. Boiling will, as a rule, de­ stroy diseased germs. The popular theory that freezing purifies water Mr. Tonry thinks is incorrect. "Pure ice," he says, "is almost as hard to obtain as pure water." ' He mentions a case where typhoid fever was traced directly to the use of impure ice.--Baltimore &im. War Without Bloodshed. It is well known that the nitrite of amyl possesses the power of causing insensibility very quickly in a human being breathing its fumes. The effect is equivalent, temporarily, to a para- letic stroke. It is very cheap and plen­ tiful. and Mr. Edward Weston, the electrician, proposes to ufee shells filled with tliis chemical instead of gunpow­ der. He argues that a few gallons of this nitrite dashed on the deck of a war­ ship would render the crue helpless. The most powerful ironclads would be even more vulnerable than the light cruisers, for they would lie sucking down great draughts of air through their artificial ventilators, and the odor would thus rapidly permeate the whole ship. The whole crew being rendered helpless for an hour or two the ship could, of course, be towed into a sale port, while the captors ventilated her and removed the insensible man.' "'Jfc- Y.

Iwaat*?* a manendi a money-chest Equally true is it that the match for the ideal man, the coming twentieth- century man, is a woman, not a handle of achea and pains. A woman will have not gone far in her search for health before ahe will have discovered that her dress is a fetter self-imposfed, which she herself must summon strength to break. She must cast off her slavery to the* fashion-plate and go back to the free­ dom and-grace of the old Greek ideals, and flnd"in the deep-bosomed Junos and the stately, well-poised Venuses of antl-juitv, with their loose girdles and flowing lines of drapery, her models in dress. She must be strong and msny- sided mentally. All art, all culture, all those mighty principles of physical and psychical law--of which an ancient Greek has said that "the devinity is mighty within them and groweth not old"--must minister to her intellectual waflts, for how shall she give life who knows not the principles of life ? Last, and best of all, she mu*t be grand in that freedom and purity of soul which shall make her lovl the royal boon, a guerdon worthy of all knightly and chivalrous homage to the man who sh»U call her--wife. Cure of Pneumonia. : , 4 Bo AD, NIAGARA '•QF/'IT., T March 24, 1830. f About a year ago I was taken with a severe pain in both lungs. I was first at­ tacked with a violent chill, then a dread­ ful pain, and then a cough, accompanied by considerable fever. It looked very much like a bad attack of pneumonin. A friend of mine procured five ALLCOCK'S PLASTERS. One he putnnder each arm, one under each shoulder blade, and One on my chest dose around my throat. In a few hours the cough ceast il, the pain gradually abated, and I broke oat iu n profuse perspiratipn. I fell into a pro­ found sleep, and the next day was almost well. I wore the Plasters eight days afterward, and have never had any trouble since. WILLUM A. SAWYEB. Hew Senatorial Spwches Are Made. Prcsi'leut pro torn. Ingalls uses the old-fashioned time glass to measure five- minute specclie t of the Senators. When the Senator begins the glass is inverted, and when the sand i« all run ont he is stopped promptly. One day a Senator who thought ni« tiro minutes entirely too short demurred when the President pro tem. told him time was up, "The Chair is guided eutirt ly by this glass," said Ingnlls, firmly, holding up the twin bulbs with the rand all in the lower one.
