What Seven W omen Have Done. A recent Kholihli Book, “Facto, non Verba,” contains 1 1 1 history, of the philanthropic labors of sevi n English women. It is full of interest not only for its facts,' but for its nTerences. The Athetuvmn says; “If the volume floes nothing else, it at any rate gives ns anew notion of how much there is for women to do, stud how much a wo man can an if site is in earnest about her work.” Miss Rye began her efforts a few years ago. She bad a capital ot •£750. Its lasting capacity inis been is miraculous as that of the “Wi dow’s erase of oil.” She had helped •me hundred and seventy-eight gov ernesses to emigrate to the liritis 1, coh mies, where they have all, mainly torongh her efforts, found employ ee et. She has put fifteen hundred English women into good places as h, ;.e.st os, m Australia ad New Zea ioi.l.

Fat Folks. I like fat folks. There’s something jolly right in the fact of one’s being a great big porpoise, and you never saw a fat man or woman but y\ t 1j a t was good natured, nnl.-ss disappointed in love. I often wish I stood in Baker’s shoes. He weighs 280, and when seen coming down the street lie resembles a sloop under full sail. When he en ters a street car everybody shoves along at once, and if it’s crowded, two or three men will get up at once to offer him a seat. He is of impor tance wherever he goes. If he sits on an inquest he influences the jury and if he predicts the weather people put faith m him. If there’s a crowd ar >und a sick horse Baker elbows bis way rightin where I couldn’t, get, and they are always sure to make him treasure*-' at Sunday School excur sions, send him invitations to deliver Fourth of July orations, and he is al ways selected to present the fird com pany with new hats and a speech. And there’s Mrs. Scott, who weighs neariy as much us B iker. ’When it’s a hot day everybody asks after her com fort, and when it’s a cold day every body congratulates her on being fat. She was made the president ,of a be nevolent society, the treasurer of an art association, and the “head man” in a monument enterprise, just be cause she wus fat and “could fill the chair” better than any lean woman. If she went aboard the ferryboat they always placed her carefully iu the very center of the cabin in the best arm-chair aboard, so that she could not careen the craft over, and if forty lean women hung over the railing to starboard or port nothing was ever said or cared about it. She had the biggest tent at camp meeting, the best place to see tlu Fourth of July tire works, aud grocers were always send ing her early strawberries and first vegetables. I fell in love with a f it. girl once. I loved madly, because 1 was loving 207 pounds of girl. She was ; uiable, tender-hearted, good-natured and true and I think she loved me. AV . were to bo married in the fall, and I should probably have been one of the hap piest of husbands, when an accident dashed my prospects. She fell over board just its we wefc about to leave ihe ivliari uu a steamboat excursion. Three or four sailors plunged after, and got a gang plank under her, a cable around her waist, and towel her to the wharf. Then they rigged a derrick and lifted her out by sec tions, but they were so long about it that site took a severe cohl, and the result was death. There were months and monttjs after that I could never pass a Ida 1 of hay without thinking of my lost Amanda and shedding tears, and even to this day I never see an,elephant, or rhinoceros without her dear visage rising up before me. — M. Quad. ? A Heavy “Sell “I know'd Gas well. We’d been partners m Calitor ny. He was one of tbe best fellers I ever kuowued, and we was always gettin’ sells on one another. But Gas got the lnaviest thing on me when he died! As soon as he was shot, I see he was a goner. I helped him up on the bank, and eased lum off all I could, savin’ over all the Bible I knowed, and promisin’ to give his watch and gun to his folks. But Gus wanted me to agree to send him to Frisco, where his folks lived. Sol I promised, and he died happy. Well, I buried him on the spot temporary. Three years ader, when I cal’uted lie was about eit up, I went for bis bones. Now what do you think Gus had been and gone and done? Why, as he was buried in alkali, he’d gone and turned himself into solid stone," and then he expected me to pay freight on him all the way to Frisco J I did it, though, but that was the last load Gus ever got on me!” When Jeff had concluded this touching reminiscence to his departed friend, he stopped bis horse aud took a drink to his memory.— Travel* in Utah by John Cochnan. Seasonable Suggestions.— Never go in the sun; it heats the blood. Food is fuel, and furnishes heat; eat no food. Cloihes prevent the escape of heat from the body; wear none, or only a loose shirt and drawers. Work bents the system; do nothing. Sit in a craft Reading, talking and think ing generate heat; do neither. Bathe every hour of the day, and take a shower bath between. Wear a cap with ice in it. Sit with your feet in a tub of ice water. Call your wife and /daughters when you want anything; it is a cool operation. Dnnk iced-tea, lemonade, plain soda and such; have a cool stream running in all the while. By observing these simple directions one can get along without going away, unless the effect sends him off'.. What roof covers the most noisy tenant ? The roof of the raou h. $2.50 A YEAR. Swearing. —Cowper writes some lines which it would be worth while for every one to learu : “It chills ray blood to hear the blest Supreme Rudely appealed to on each trifling theme; Mantain your rank, vulgarity despise— To swear is neither, polite nor wise ; You would not swear upon a bed of death; Reflect ! Your Maker may now stop your breath.” Some who would not swear by the name of God, tbfhk nothing of swear ing “By George,” or “By Jingo,” or by something tl e; others often cry out “Good gracious!” or “Mercy on me 1” and the like. These are the beginnings of swearing. They are to profane swearing, what acorns are to the oak. Coolness. —A young man was carv ing a at a dinner table one day, when by an awkward move he kocked it into the lap of a lady who was sit ting opposite in all the glggy of a green satin dress. Instead of show ing h's verdancy, by profuse apologies and confused manner, be simply said: “I’ll trouble you for that goose, Miss!” Can the annals of society furnish an example of self-posession more sub lime ? - ♦ . . - What is a Darling? —An exchange answers this question in the following delicious style; It is the dear little beaming girl who meets one on the door step; who flings her fair arms around one’s neck, and kisses one with her whole soul of love; who seizes one’s hat; who relives one of one’s coal, and arranges t he tea and toast so prettily; who places her elfish form at the piano and wabbles forth unsolicited, such delicious songs, who casts herself at one’s foot-stool and flushing face, and on whose flossy curls one places one’s hand and breathes ‘God bless her !’ as the fairy form departs. was a party given in Dal las ' am i:;, and this is the way a re pot t rof that ] 1 ice goes into the toilet bus I mess: Miss LI. wore a red bom bazine dress, with point aluaea and an ovor-skirt of rose gingnam with a border or parsley blossoms. Her tourrot was particularly notice able fioru tj ! fact that her hair wajjfc so deliciously scrambled in front. She aim wore ’hi b lilac double-buttou gloves, No tj store shoes, slashed at the heels, and Pompadou sock. Decidedly the best practical joke of the yem- is related by the Jef fci.-rm (Texas) Democrat. The entire police force of the town w'ere-arraigned before the Mayor on the charge of vagrancy. The charge was preferred by the families of the policemen, wiio suited that the parties under charge had no visible means of sup port, as they had received but twelve dollars from the city in the last five months. #3s"Tn a Western village not long since there lived a couple whoso lives had been one prolonged quarrel. The wife finally was taken very sick. The doctor called several times, and at length one night said to the husband that he feared the woman would not iive flic night out. The old man went to the honsj of a neighbor, and rap ped 'oudiy. Mrs. W., came to the door, said lie, “can you come up to my house and lay out my wife ?” “Is your wife dead ?” a-ked the good wo man. “Oli, no, he replied, in a sub dued voice, “but she’ll be dead enough by the time von get there. N (thing like time saving and fore thought. BgU To prevent flies from injuring picture frames, boil two or three onions in a pint of water; then with a gilding brush apply to your frames, and the flies will not light on the ar ticle so washed. This may be used without the least apprehension as it will not do the least harm to the frame. A Quaker being asked his opin ion of phrenology, replied indignant ly: “Friend, there can be no good in a science that compels a man to take off his hat. , tfis#““How many deaths last night!” inquired a hospital physician of a nurse. “Nine,’’was the answer. “Why I ordered medicine for ten,’ “Yes; but one wouldn’t take it.” EaT* A rustic couple newly married marched into a drug store and called for soita water. The obliging clerk in quired what syrup they would have in it, when the swuiu,* deliberately leaning over the counter, replied : “Stranger, money is no object to me. Put sugar in it.” A young widow in New Or leans being a>-ked after her husband’s hiulth, answered with a soft, quiet smile, “He’s de;>.d, I thank you.”
