U jiaost intense nervous excitement. And I will tell you why. The early •T; t®ars m.v manhood were spent in ^ 4 Pittsburgh, as a moulder,in one of lier - olde.st stove foundries. And happy days they were!--full of hard wort and honest pride iu my / young wife, my strong arm and my in throwing a pattern. But that's neither here or there. What you wish to know is the story of the struggle which well-nigh ended •1In my being thrown alive into the blast, f * 1 was on the night force then and was just approaching the foundry ene even­ ing in early fall, aa "Old Cupola," as we called the tall, red-headed Scotch­ man who tended the blast cupola, was itarting up the incline plane, that in ;.j* those days led to the cupola room, with I 4is wheel-barrow loaded with pig- iron. * Close behind him was a stretch of new wall, that the masons had just put ap, and left without "tying." Just then a strong breeze came up, and I saw that the wall was beginning to top­ ple. I yelled to the man to get out of the way, but he did not hear me, on ac­ count of the wind, and the next breeze tumbled the upper part of the wall pell- mell upon him, as 1 supposed. But on reaching tho spot, I found that, as he had been close to the wall, most of the bricks had been blown over him. His head seemed badly crushed, and as soon as I could give the alarm, I cut the tie-strap of a horse that was hitched in front of a saloon opposite the foun­ dry, and in five minutes returned with a doctor. They had carried "Old Cupola" into a railroad hoarding house near by. Tho doctor directed me to sponge the bk>od from Cupola's head. I suppose the water revived him ; at least he "came to," and I was the first ' man he set eyes on. Whether or not that had anything to 4o with the nub of my story, I don't know. You must be the judge of that. When the doctor had finished "patch­ ing" him up, he said that the only seri­ ous wound was across the top of the man's head, where the edge of a brick had left a long dent or crease; but that the brain did not seem to be in the least f?^=-H|flfected, and unless something like , -train fever set in, he couldn't see why * Cupola" wouldn't pick Tight up again. And he did. I used to drop in and see him oc- ju isasionally and t&ke some little dish or iV-*.;-'i,fainty that Martha, mv wife, would * *' His head seemed as clear as a bell, and be mended a sight faster than even the doctor bad any notion of, on the itart. He was always very thankful for all the little things that my wife sent, and more than that, he seemed to take a great liking to me. He was very re­ ligious and read his Bible almost con­ stantly. • In six weeks from the time of his hurt he was out cgain, and in two weeks more, began work at his old job. Meantime I had been promoted to the position of foreman of the casting- room. This job always took me up into the cupola-room a few minutes before time to draw off, to 6ee that the blast was all right. "Old CupolaR-]fad been back at his work a long time--several months--do­ ing it just as quietly and faithfully as ever, when, one day, I came up to the cupola-room, to take a last peep at the blast. He had wheeled his last barrow of "pigs," up before the furnace door. II 1 1 threw open the door and looked into the blast. It needed a few more "pigs" of iron, before it woald be ready to 8raw off. As I turned around from the furnace toward "Old Cupola," it struck me that his eyes had a queer look. But my next thought was that it was only the effect of the white light from the open door of the blast, shining squarely into his face. "Throw a few more 'pigs' in,"' Mid I, "and then you may knock off." He started to reach down to his wheel- g barrow, to pick up a "pig," but sud- § denly drew up and clapped his hands to his head. Bv this time I had stepped to the op- * po;-ite side of the barrow, and just had it on my tongue's end to ask him what was the matter. But I never got the words out--for the next second he gave such a yell as I never expect to hear again. Then he held up both hands, like a preacher saving the benediction, and shouted: "Then the fifth angel sounded--." Here he seemed to for­ get something, aud flourished his right hand in a circle, as though finishing the sentence with the gesture instead of 4 words. Then his eyes seemed to shoot fire like the flames and sparks that leap : out of the cupola, where the blast door is opened. "Ah! Devils! Dogs!" he sereamed, "D'ye think t' scape the fifth angel who a hou'ds the key t' the bottomless pit? T' Hell! Ah! It smokes like a fur­ nace !" As he paid those last words he made a - -grand flourish, and pointed to the opeu if door of the blast. I caught the idea .lhat was in hi-< crazy brain. He thought the blast was hell and he was going to jgat me iuio All this happened in about three sec­ onds. I looked about for something with which to defend myself. There wat nothing. It must be a single-handed struggle between man and man. He was naturally of a wiry, powerful build and the handling of the heavy iron "pigs" and wheeling them up the inclined plane for so long,had developed the muscles of his arms and legs, until their cords were like cables. Luckily I had left my coat below, aud only had on a molder's flannel shirt and pelted pants. With the wickedest laugh that ever broke from human throat, he jumped clean over the Harrow, to grap­ ple me. I ducked my legs, for an un- der-hold. This sent him sprawling over my head, and for a minute he was floored. But was only for a moment, as my im­ petus hud carried me against the wheel­ barrow, and I stumbled. He was up again and at me, before I had hardly regained my feet. "Dog! Sorcerer! Murderer!"he cried, "There's nae 'ecapin' me. Its my ain bluid is on your lian's an' my ain een saw't!" This time I braced for a blow at his head, but he deftly knocked it off, and grappled me around the waist. I had read when a boy an account, by an African Hunter, of his falling into the grip of an ourang-outang. The story impressed me deeply/ but I never expected to experience the awful sensations which he described. As tho long arms of the mahaic gripped about me, binding my left arm down against my side, crushing my breast and face against his own, that incident flashed acrcsa my mind. But as the demoniac held me, eye to eye with himself--his frothing lips pressing my own, and the lurid light of the seething, molten mass, into which he was struggling to pitch me, falling full upon his face, showed me all the devils of consuming madness that glared in his frenzied eye, I would gladly have exchanged places with the hunter iu the clutches of the infuriated man- beast, for that beast lacked the dread­ ful idea of hell lhat burned in the brain of the lunatic who would, in a moment, plunge me into as awful a hell as im­ agination can picture! I reached my right arm over his left shoulder and about his neck and gripped his throat, but it did not hinder him. Nor could I trip or impede his move­ ments by twisting my legs about lj|8 own. His strength seemed infinite. There was but one chance left me-- that of swinging the furnace door shut with my free hand, as he would drag" me close to it to thrust me in. With his second stride his foot struck a 'peg' that had spilled from tbe bar­ row, and we fell together to the floor, writhing, pitching and plunging like reptiles! He could have crushed me in his grasp, strangled me, or beat my brains out, killed me in a dozen ways; but he was bent on throwing me alive into the molten metal. Just as he had freed himself from the grasp that I had secured by reaching my fore arm around his neck, and clutched into his^mouth, I gave a wild cry. A rush of footsteps up the inclined plane told me that help was at hand. The seconds between the time when the sound reached my ears and that of the appearance of the men in the door­ way, seemed endless. One of the lads had a lantern. "Shut the furnace door quick!** I cried, as they rushed forward to where we were. As they did bo "Old Cupola" Bprang to seize them. But "click" went the furnace door, and strong hands, fresh for the strug­ gle, pinioned him from behind, and dragged the "Fifth Angel"--as he was ever after called--from his station at the mouth of the bottomless pit. This ehock resulted in brain fever, and for weeks I was unconscious or dis­ tracted. I have never fully recovered, and from that day to this, I have not looked into a furnace door. Do you wonder that I cannot endure the sight of a blast furnace cupola, or bear to read of trials of strength be­ tween man and man. --- Chicago Graphic. A NOTABLE ISLAND. THAT DISHCLOTH. What Men JLIke lit Women. There is a certain something, which, for want of a better name, is called womanliness, and it is that which makes woman attractive to men. A great many virtues go to make up this one great possession, and they are what men like in women. Men like, in the first place, amiability in women. They like a pleasant appearance. They like the doing of little things that are pleasant to them. They like the courtesy of the fireside. They like women whose lives and faces are always full of the sunshine of a contented mind aud a cheerful dis­ position. They like an ability to talk well and a knowledge of the virtue of silence. They like a motlierliness big enough to understand the wants of the older as well as the younger boys. They like a disposition to speak good, rather than evil of every human beiug. They like sympathy--which means a willing ear for the tale of sorrow or .gladness. They like knowledge of how to dress well, which, by and by, does not mean conspicuously. Men are most attracted by good material, plain draperies, and quiet colors; not by showy colors or de­ signs. They like intelligence, but"they pre- /er that the heart should be stronger than the brain. They like a companion--a woman who has sufficient knowledge of the world and its ways to talk well with them, who is interested in their lives and plans, and in their hopes; who knows how to give a cheering word, or to listen quietly, and by a tender look express the grief which the heart is feeling. They may sometimes say that chil­ dren are a bore and a nuisance, but a man shrinks from a woman who openly declares her dislike of them. A man expects the maternal instinct in a wo­ man and is disappointed if he does not find it. They like women to be affectionate. There never was a man yet, no matter how stern, no matter how cold, no mat- ler how repressive as far as his own feelings were concerned, who did not like % loving squeeze of the hand, or a tender kiss from the woman nearest to him. These are some of the things that men like in women.

John (heroically)--No,--New Haven News. Soctainj, the Home of a Frmes Oentus. Guernsey, one of the group of islands in the English Channel, is noted, not tlone for its rocks and cliffs aud quar­ ries, bnt also as being the place of resi­ lience of Victor Hugo, the famous French novelist. The island is tri- tngular in form, aud as it is only nine rod a half miles in length much the pleasantest way to see its beauties is on foot, The southern coast is indented with several small but exceedingly beautiful bays, presenting a great variety of granitic forms, often almost volcanic in grotesqueness of shape, the cliff* rising sometimes over three hun­ dred feet in height, often perpendicu­ larly, from the silvery beaches of soft, white sand at the base. Wild caverns are hollowed into the sides of the cliff*, and rivulets, under the sylvan covert of many varieties of vines and shrubs, descend from the plateau above to these bays. Near the brow of the stern, pre­ cipitous, thunder-scarred Titanio cliffs of Plenimont. Victor Hugo lays some of the most striking passages in his book, "The Toilers of the Sea." The small guard-house which he represents to have been haunted aud makes the rendezvous of smugglers, stands there still, entirely alone. It is built of stone, and is little more thau a large square box with a roof built over it, yet so en- chantiugly has the ingenious novelist woven it into bis story and clothed it with a robe of mvstery that the re?*ler imagines it a mansion of rare and strik­ ing appearance. St. Sampsons, the Becond largest town on the island, is particularly noteworthy as being the scene of many of the novelist's most striking passages. He gives a vivid and sometimes truthful description ol the scenery and people of the island. Tho immediate location of his residence is at liautville, where he lived and wrote for many years prior to his re­ moval to Paris. His mansion still re­ mains furnished as he left it, in a man­ ner highly characteristic of the distin­ guished author. It cannot be doubted that much of the brilliant and vivid writing, which has immortalized the name of Victor Hugo, was in a large measure due to his surroundings. This is particularly due to his descriptions of the ocean. The approach to St. Helier's from Guernsey is around the southwestern angle of the island, brist­ ling with reefs, showing their teeth tc the mariner in the most threatening manner. Of these the most formidable is the Corbiere, or "Sailors' Dread," the haunt of innumerable corbieres, oi sea-crows. A light-house has beer erected on the highest point, but it is » most formidable foe. It must be owned that few spots present a finer oppor­ tunity for studying the effect of a raging sea on a rugged shore. The under-tow meeting the waves formed by the wind, and again affected by the diverse cur­ rents and tides, which here rise fortj feet, produces off the Corbiere, as o£ the Caskets, waves of extraordinary height, grandeur, and fury. The New Money Fad. "Can you give me two hundred dol­ lars in new money?" inquired a young man at the teller's window at one of tht big banks down town a few days ago. "Mr. wants it for his wife." "Certainly," replied the teller, recog nizing in the applicant the confidentia clerk of one of the bank's heaviest de positors. The money was handed out in clean, crisp tens and fives that had never beer in circulation. After the young man had gone, the telier remarked to the writer: "That new money fad is on the in crease. Just as soon as a man begini to feel a little toney he gets the notioi thatno member of hid family ought U handle the soiled and crumpled currency iu general circulatiou. When th< madam goes a-shoppmg she must havi her purte tilled with brand new bills Many persons explain their mania f»i new money upon the theory that then is contagion in the much-handled bills They seek to keep disease away fron their family circle by excluding, to ai full extent as possible, all money tha has been in circulation. They keep i supply of the new bills of various de nominations constantly on hand, ant the ladies of the household feel tha° they are thUB well protected agains' contagion." Most of the new money is procuret directly from the banks, but there ar« frequent individual applications at th« sub-treasury for new bills and new coin When the sub-treasury has an abun dance of small denomination bills oi hand such applications are unhesitat ingly complied with.

It will doubtless pass, and will be a very good law, as manj boys and some worthless men kill rob­ ins, larks, eta, and these birds are oftec seen in the markets here.

It is a kindly act and one which indicates the claims of the order to be truly fraternal. A few weeks since, a poor and unlettered lit­ tle girl of this city presented herself as a voluntarv sacrifice, lay upon the operation table and permitted many square inches of her skin to be bound to the denuded head of her sister. Then she lay--cramped and suffering--foi weary days, bound in one rigid position, in the hope that she might thus aid in making the operation successful.

Some housekeepers lave a penchant for immaculate table inen, a taste for mirror-like cook stoves, i special style of bed-making, shining «a sets or glass-ware, floors upon which ;he footstep of man seems almost a lacrilege: dyspepsia-inviting dinners, or i continual warfare of extermination is iraged against the busy and persistent ly. Others have aggresive ideas about Irainage, clean cellars, kitchens, gar- lens, etc. Writers upon household topics give prominence each to his in- lividual predilection or hobby; and ;here is euch variety," and all urged with equal vehemence as the essential ;hing, that the young housekeeper or )ne desirous of improving upon her present methods is disheartened at the cutset, knowing well, or soon learning, -hat the strength of the average woman s unequal to the accomplishments of ;hem all. Perfection is seldom attained in all the minntia and details of any vocation, ind some things are very likely to lack the attention the writers mentioned set ap as an absolute requirement. Each one must study the matter so as to de­ termine for herself what tasks she can place among the non-essentials, and to which she must give her time so as to secure the health and comfort of her family, for these are of more importance than mere show or gratification of the aye. Indulgence in these fancies is often carried to such an extent as to make both herself and family uncomfortable, There are, however, some housekeeping details the neglect of which brings dis­ comfort, disease, and sometimes even death. A certain woman in aiding a family where typhoid fever was present came upon a dishcloth which to her mind was sufficient explanation of all the trouble. Iu many a household that has a tidy appearance, and care iH taken to pre­ serve immaculate cleanliness in other particulars, the dishcloth and disb towels are an offense to the olfactories and a source of danger to the family. Better have dust on the furniture, or chairs set awry, or many other irregu­ larities than to serve food upon dishes which have been subjected to an osten sible cleansing by any questionable aids. Very much lias been written about hotise drainage and much attention given this matter by householders, und very properly, too, but it matters not what close application of the best scien­ tific principles may here be made, or tc what perfection other things may be carried, if the director of the kitchen is neglectful of her dishcloth. Young housekeepers, place this among the first in your list of essentials. Mothers training your girls in household work look carefully after this matter, and all having servants, it will be worth your while to insist that your dish washing be done in a careful and effective man ner, and with cloths which are bott sweet and clean.--Health and Home. A Fiet . Hi aft Interview wittt a leading drug house the New York World, Nov. 9, 1890, gifes the following comment on the propri­ etors of reliable patent medicines: "He is a specialist, and should know more of the disease he actually treats than the ordinary physician; for while the latter may come across say fifty cases in a year of the particular disease which this medicine combats. Its manufacturer investigates thousands. Don't you suppose his prescrip­ tion. which you buy ready made up for 50 cents, is likely to do more good than that of the ordinary physician, who charges you anywhere from $2 to $10 for giving it, and leaves you to pay the cost of having it prepared? "The patent medicine man, too, usually has the good sense to confine himself to or­ dinary, every-day diseases. He leaves to the physician casss In which there is Im­ mediate danger to life, such as violent fevers. He does this because, in the treat­ ment of such cases, there are other ele­ ments of importance besides medicine, such as proper dieting, good nursing, a knowl­ edge of the patient's strength and so on. Where there is no absolute danger tft life, where the disease is one which the patient can diagnose for himself or which some physician has already determined, the patent medicine maker says fearlessly: «I have a preparation which is better than any other known and which will cure yon.' In nine cases out of ten his statement is true." This Is absolutely trua as regards the great remedy for pain. St Jacobs Oil.

During the Iodk. cold winter, the blood becomes thin and impure, the body becomes weak and tired, the appetite may be lost, and oust now the system craves the aid of a reliable medicine like Hood's Barcaparilla. These are the mentha In every year when thous­ ands of old friends resort to a regular course of Hood's Sarsaparilla. The (act that Hood's Sarsa- parilla, once fairly tried, becomes the favorite bpring medicine speaks volumes for its excellence and medicinal merit. M a r c h A p r i l M a y Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted to the needs of the body during these months. It thor­ oughly purifies and vitalizes the blood, create; a tood appetite, cures biliousness and headache, gives healthy action to the kidneys snd liver and imparts •trengthto the whole body. In these months this year thousands of new patrons will take Hood's Sarsaparilla snd realise its benefits in blood purified and streng h restored. Will you be one of the number? Hood's Sarsaparilla costs but little, and th« Investment, yields profitable re tarns. Just try it M a r c h A p r i l M a y Now is the Ume when yon should give Hood's Sarsaparilla a lair trial.

There 1b tnore Catarrh in this section of tho country than all other diseases put together, aud until the last few years was supposed to ba incurable. For a great many years doctors pro­ nounced it a loual disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu­ tional disease, aud therefore requires constitu­ tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu­ factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only co2i8titutional cure on the market. It is taken internally iu doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They oiler one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad­ dress. F. J.
