A Tear of Disasters.
L So far 1883 has been a year of start¬
ling calamities. More death- by vio¬
lence have occurred within sir weeks
than in all the fifty-two weeks of last
year, or any one of the three preceding
years. More lives have been lost by ac¬
cident on sea sacrificed and land in since the January Egyptian 1
than were
war. More damage has been caused by
the storms and fioods of the ln-st few
weeks than by the storms and fl-xids of
the three or four preceding years.
Hundreds of lives were lost and mil¬
lions of dollars’ worth of property de¬
stroyed by the disastrous floods !n Ger¬

Before the country had recovered from
jibe effects of the snow and fee storms
'came the unprecedented floods in tho
Ohio Valley. These have resulted not
only in great destruction of property
and loss of life, but in unsettling tiie the
conditions of business activity in in¬
undated districts. Manufactories have

'people and have hundreds been thrown of others outof have employ¬ lost

How Women Bathe.
Kind rentier, didst ever see two women
bathe? They emerge from their bath¬
house, looking as though they hail stolen
something and expected to see a burley clap
policeman bob around the corner,
iiis rode hands upon them, and cxult
inglv cry, “Now I’ve got you.” Then
altogether they" trip along like half Dundreary’ a dozen steps, sand¬ not
or a
piper, but somewhat resembling both.
Then one says "Oh, dear 1” and reaches
down to pick a pebble out of her shoe,
while like the other takes of panthers, the opportunity and then to

house. Her mate, of course, doesn’t get
the pebblo out of her shoe, but gilts sev¬
eral more in to keep it from being lone¬
some. Then the screamer tiptoes down
again to the yelling place and says,
“What a fool I was!” Tlie other comes
down, having secured a new invoice of
pebbles in transit, and screams, “What
is it?” As it is nothing but the devil’s
apron string and not a snake, the
screamer again sayB, “What a fool!”
And the other replies, “Lknow it!” Then
they laugh. But they keep their eyes
about them, and each month is ready to
emit a scream. By this time they reach
tha water's edge. A puny roller is ad¬
vancing. It breaks a little way out, and
as the line of foam is sent up the bench
they turn nnd scamper with all their
might.
Then one says, “What a fool!” And
tho other hold replies, “I know determined it!” Then
they tnke of hand*, to
do or die. Another wave makes them
flinch and tremble and scream just a lit¬
tle, but they keep on till the water
reaches to what would be their knees if
they were men. Now they face, each
other, each bolding the two hands of tho
other. Anybody who hand-engine has seen the. will fire¬
men at work on a un¬
derstand (lie motion readily. They keep
this lip for five or ten minutes, talking
like a brace of parrots all the time, till
one of them screams with all her might
and runs half way to the bathhouse. She

once more, and the
manoeuvre is repeated. Then one of
them whispers, “There’s a man!” And
tlie other says, “i don’t care one bit,”
and rone with all hor might to tlie bath¬
house. Then tho one who bas seen the
man saunters slowly after, picking up a
•hell or two on the way, pretoaiUiig to
think there isn’t such a thing as a man
in creation. By and by they emerge
from tho bathhouse, and ostentatiously and
display chatting the key, in towels voluble bathing
dresses, a most man¬
ner. “It was just lovely!” slio one feels re¬
marked. And tlie other says

Delights of British Railway Travel.
who Two gentlemen Belfast, belonging to returning Glasgow,
had been to were
homo by way of Stranraer and entered
the train leaving there shortly before 8
o’clock. They traveled by themselves
till they reached Ayr, when they were
joined by astalwart, gentlemanly-looking
man, who proved to be a dangerous com
panion. Directly the train moved out
of the station the new-comer Tucked up
a pipe belonging to one of tlie gentlemen
and threw it out of the window. Al
gentlemen though rather chagrined neither of the
said anything, wishing to
avoid disturbance and believing that
their companion was intoxicated. Soon
the stranger began to punch them in the
ribs with a stick, put himself into a
menacing attitude, talked very incoher
ently and amused himself by knocking -
oft'their hats. The two gentlemen began
to think that matters had proceeded quietly just in¬
far enough, and one of them
formed the stranger that he had better
desist, sisted and that lie might find, if he he per¬ had
in his “little game,” that
met his match. The train had passed sud¬
Irvine and was flying onward, when
denly the stranger producecn'rom a styl¬
ish game-bag a six-chambered revolver
of large size. He examined it for a min¬
ute or two and then drew the trigger
once or twice, evidently to satisfy him¬
self that it was not loaded. The exami¬
nation of the, revolver concluded, tho
stranger laid it down beside him on the
seat while he took from a case filled with
ball-cartridges lmlf a dozen to load the
revolver. The stronger of the two gentle¬
men thought that lust limodoraction had
arrived and quietly picked up the revol¬
ver, ostensibly with tho object of look¬
ing at it; but when his excited fellow
traveler requested it to be returned the
request was refused. Then a scene oc¬
curred in the compartment. The stran¬
ger rushed of*^ue at the gentleman having pos¬
session revolver, knocked off his
hat and endeavored forcibly to possess
himself of the weapon. He failed and
was then observed looking for a knife. sit

Ilow Ice Is Made.
Kvcry knows that different fluids will

boils at 212 deg. Fahrenheit.; ether at
95 (leg.; sulphurous acid boils at 15 which deg.,
or 17 dog. below the point at

form, and under the ordinary pressure deg.
of the atmosphere, will boil at 28
below zero, or CO deg. below the freez¬

Tho ammonia, us fast ns it becomes a
gas, must have caloric to generate, and
it will suck what, it requires out of the

It is at those points in the apparatus
where this process is going on that we I

will be continued for three months. The
Sits states that the circulation of its several
editions last year was 55,536,033, ageinst 50,
236,919 the year previous. Hie Sox, while
it furnishes a live and generally acceptable
newspaper at a very low rate, expends fsct. a

Under dale of .Julj J, 1862, E. B. Bright, of
Windsor Locks, Conn., writes aphiiu, modest
narrative, which, from its very simplicity, has
the true ring of fine gold. Remedy and ^ “ "- to y
father Knsiug Kant's seeins
1 e improving, in fact, he ia very much better
i ban he bas been for a longtime. He had been
tapped three times. The first time they got
from him sixteen quarts of water, the second
time thirteen quarts, and fully as much more
the third lime, and he would constantly nil up
again every time after lie had been tapped,
until ho commenced using Hunt’s Remedy,
which acted like magic in his case, as he
begun to improve at once, and now his
watery accumulation passes away through
the secretions naturally, and he has none Ox
that swelling or filling up which was so
frequent before the functions of the kidneys
were restored by the use of Hunt s Remedy.
He is a well-known citizen of this place, and
has always been in business here. ’
Again ho writes, November 27, IS *2 :
“I beg most cheerfully and truthfully to
state, in regard to Hunt’s Remedy, that its
u ho was the saving of my father’s life. 1
spoke to you in my previous letter in regard
to his being tapped threo times. It is toe
most remarkable ea. e that has ever been
heard of in this section. Fo». a man of hi
years (sixty years) it is a most remarroibo
curo. He had been unable to attend to his
business more than a year, and was given up
by ihe doctors. ’The first bottle of Hunts
Remedy that he used gave instant relief. H<
has used in all seven bottles, and continues
to vise it whenever he feels drowsy or slug
gifib and it affords instant reli e f. He is now
- and lias been
attending to his regular business
several months. I am perfectly willing that
you should publish this letter, as wo thor¬
oughly believo that father’s life was saved by
using Hunt’s Remedy and these facts given
above may be a benefit to others suffering in
like manner from diseases or inaction of the
kidneys and liver.”________
