The Harmony of Home.

never likely to t knocked at by
friends. Fen ■ ible : eq>le will give it
a wide be: th, and prefer friendship
and i vthna v wifli th »se who live at
peace, Nobody finds a wise young
man courting a grrl in a family who
get on ill among thems’elves.
wants a l*i: 1 out of a good nest, and
has no wish to 1 e dra^ n in bv mar
riage to take one side of a life long
fireside feud. It is hard on a girl you
say. Sometimes. But about the
young man’s -.g,-<-by there can he no
question whatever, If all homos
were happy what a pleasant world it
would be, and there is no reason why
happiness shoul l not reign every¬
where if people would only make wis¬
dom, and not stupidity, the guide of
their lives.
V/hat strikes one r.s an odd thing
is that many are able to exercise pa¬
tience and common sense abroad, but
find it next to an impossible task at
home. With them, everything is
done for the benefit of society at large
and fit the expense of their own cir
cle. In other people’s houses they
have a face like a benediction, whilst
in their own it is disfigured with
frown-. Of all follies this is ono of
the greatest. As if it were not their
int- rest, let alone their duty to do ex¬
actly the reverse. If any one has a
mind to be cross, snappish and disa¬
greeable, let her choose a field foii
giving vent to her i;l humor as f.:r
removed from home as possible. Our
best side should be turned not to
strangers, but 1 > those with whom
we dwell, and, while it is right to
wi ii for the good o] ::iion < every¬
body, we should be anxious most of
all about the fa.eraMo impression we
make on ova* own fidks at home.
If thero is t » be household harmo¬

Duse Ball ar*tl Heart Disease.
A prominent physician is impress
c«! with the idea that the great nat
iona! game »tf ba^e ball produce* heart
disease, and gives an interesting com
j parison of sports from the M gienu*
point ol view. ••The trouble with
base ball is m running, Now take
| the batsman who has been resting on
the bench awaiting lits turn. — lis
j heart is b ating leisurely until lie
makes a hit. Then suddenly lie starts
and funs with all lu> might to first
base. The muscular force of the
heart is at once overwhelmed with
the enormous demand upon it. Bv
the time it gets up n vigorous action
the demand ceases, when the runner
reaches Lis base. Then another ter¬
rible mb to second and so on. The
result is that the heart is taught to
act in fits and jerks and thumps and
spasms. Contrast the effect of this
-port on the heart with the work of
the scientific runner. He starts
around the track quietly, with meas¬
ured step, ard breathes and moves
every part as regularly as a clock.
The heart responds gradually, in¬
creasing its vigor and. developing its
power of action to tho highest point.
But these da slung runs cannot but be
harmful. The batsman who makes a
homo run is nearly always ready to
fall down exhausted when he reaches
the home plate. The greatest fault
with gymnasium exercises in general
is that they do not reach the heart as
they should. Rowing is another
splendid exercise on that account.
The control of tho breath and the
heart’s action shouM be the most im
poitant scientific consideration in
sport, and in a game like base ball, I
am sorry to say, the conditions do not
favor the control.”—Philadelphia In¬
quirer.

Happened on ti:e Wabash.
“Heard' of the Wabash river, I
rccon *7” he queried as he combed liis
long yellow; whiskers with his fingers
and i idled down his vest.
“Yes.”
“Probably never heard of Jerry
Dewlap ? Jerry lives on the banks of
the Wabash, and lie’s pizen Idled
down. A .\>out a month ago lie come
to town one day and said a boat had
upKot in the bend above his house and
drowned two men. He wanted us to
go up and help drag.fur tho bodies.
We was willing, of course, and Jerry
proposed we try a plan he said had
walked in thousands of cases. It’s nil
ole belief with some folks, you know,
• hat ii a loaf of bread i-j filing on the
water it’ll float to whar a dead body
is lying and then stop. We reckoned
to try it, and every man chipped in
and we took up about a hundred
loaves.”
“Jerry bossed the job,” continued
the man with the yellow whiskers,
“and we got out two beats loaded
with bread and kcerfully dropped the
loaves overboard. Some of ’em went
humping along at the rate of six
miles - an hour, while others sort ’o
circled around and went off slowly,
We used up the hundred loaves, and
Jerry was taking up a collection to
send *o town after more,, when a fel¬
ler come up stream in a canoe' and
called out:
“What ar’ yon uns a-doing over
that V
“ A-rising the dead,’ I answered.
“Oh, ye are !’ lie continued. ‘Well,
when I cone around the bond ole !
Jerry’s wife was out in a boat a pick¬
ing up them loaves, and I reckon she
get np to ninety-five ! You uns had
better send down some pork and ’ta
ters to keep company !*
••AtH, sir, that ar’ was a : nt up
on^us ly ole Jerry to git a heap o’
br ad without working fur it, and
when we took him ashore to ad min

he do but turn to and outrun the he.-t
of us and git clear off !”—New York

The following are the latest

An agent fora Now York boot
and shoe house, who goes
taking measures, a leading lamv
dry man and a cigar seller were
waiting their turn in the Ebbitt
house tonsorial apartment. They
talked shop.
Said the agent: “There in r.o sc-'

It is number five.. That is tne avs
erago among ladies of her size and
weight, though you d be astonished
to know’ how many sixes and sev^
ens are worn by fine Indies.
“Tho average size for American
ladies is number four, except in
Kentucky. I do not know the rea¬
son, but it is a fact that all boots
and shoes sent thero average ono
or two sizes smaller than those
sent anywhere else, except possi
bly to New Orleans. The smallness
of Kentucky feet is well known to
tho trade. Kyrlo Belle w wears a

half. Langtry wears a 5 and Gebv
hard a 9, though he is on tho books
as wearing an 8. Col. Calvin S.
Brice has a singular foot. It is long
enough for a number twelvo last
and wide enough for a six. It has
no arch, but, on tho contrary, the
hollow of his foci actually makes a
hole in tho ground, lie could not
find a shoo iu tho world ho could

•“Tho average sized last for
Americans is number nine.
“Tho average in tho classes we
deal with is lower. Aimeo woro a
small number two.”
“7/hen Aimeo was boro tho last
time.” said the laundvymnn, “she
had in ono washing about 70 pairs
of stockings. Langtry sent one
washing to us that had nearly 200
pieces, including 50 handkerchiefs.
The most sumptuous things in la¬
dies’ wear that ever como to us are
Mrs. Langtry’s. Her laundry bill
would run two or three families
comfortably.”
Said tho cigar man: “Tho aver¬
age price paid for cigars by mem¬
bers is 5 cents. ‘Many buy l wo for s’
that is, two for for 5 cents, and a
small number buy three for a (lime.
I can count on my. fingers those
who buy higher priced ones, and

locust, black cherry blacl£ birch,
European larch, hard maple, white
ash, shelUbavlccd hickory, burr oak
and white pine.
Commenting on theso, Mr. Gas
ton remarked : “Tho above men
tioned varieties all have a commor
ciul value in their timber, ns well
ns shade and ornament. The black
walnut has now. and will kayo in
tho future, tho greatest commercial
value of any of tho above named
varieties of limber, and should be
planted by the Amorican people by
the hundred million, or bv the bill
ion, Every farm from, Maine to
California, along tho hedges or
fences, broken or bottom lands and
all waste places, should bo planted
with nuts or trees of tho black wal
nut, and used for living barbed
wire fence Jfc>sts, as far as possible.
Tho* black walnut usually com¬
mences to bear nuts at about ten
years of ago. Tho nuts have some
commercial valuo in them. They
make food for lic^s, and uro very
valuable for fuel. They can be
gathered in great quantities in the
fall and thrown in open sheds, or
piled on an open platform made of
boards, hull and all; after they get
dry they make a fuel equal or su¬
perior to our ordinary soft coal,
and will mako a good substitute
for coal iti places where it can not'
bo obtained. Tho stumps, logs and
crotches havo now and will in the
future have a great valuo for cabi¬
net making and veneering purpos
es. Tho tops make excellent cord
wood.
“Every black^walnut tree, grown
with plenty of room to develop,
can, in fifty years, at tho presont
value of the lumbti, bo made worth
at least §50; in 100 years 1100; in
200 years, §200; in 400 years,
The nuts, for fuel and other purpo¬
ses, will pay a good interest on the
land they occupy.—Prario Parmer.

Prohibition Flections This Tear.
Prohibition elections will bo held
in three states this year. Tho first
will occur in New Hampshire to
day. Now Hampshire already has
a law prohibiting tho sale of intoxi¬
cating liuqors, but tho manufacture
of them is not prohibited, and the
prohibitionists claim that the en¬
forcement of the law is made
snally difficult on that account. Tho
question upon which the people
will vote, therefore, is whether or
not intoxicants shall.bo manufac¬
tured in tho state, and as it will be
presented in the form of a eonslitu
tional amendment, a two-thirds
vole is necessary for success of the
prohibitionists. it is thought the
amendment will rcccivo a majority
vote, as Kcw Hampshire is ono of
tho pioneer prohibition states, but
doubt is expressed as to whether or
not it will receive two-thirds.
The second election will occur in
Massachusetts April 22, and it will
also present the prohibition ques¬
tion in the shape of a constitution¬
al amendment, but a m^orily vole
will bo decisiyc. Tho prohibi
tionists are confident of success.
Pennsylvania will voto on the
question of constitutional prohibit
bition in June, and although the
election in that state will occur on
a later date than in the other two,
the campaign has already become
the most exciting. Party lines have
been obliterated, and democrats and
republicans arc pulling together
for or tfgamst prohibition, as the
case may bo, although it is said
that most of the prohibition votes
will be cast by the republicans. It
is thought that * the prohibitionists
are in the minority at this time,
notwithstanding that, they are
pushing their canvass with very
great energy, and they hope to
overcome all obstacles and to se*
on re tho adoption of tho prohibi¬
ting amendment to tho constitution.

WhfCu Easton is Doing for the Her.th

I have directly learned, from tho
best authority, that a distillery firni
within three miles of tho Massaehu
setts State House has a Contract to
furnish 3000 gallons of rum daily to
tho African trndo’for tho next 7
years. This would bo equivalent
to almost 1,000,000 gallons annual
ly. 1 tr will bo tv surprtao to many
to learn that almost all tho rum
manufactured in tho United Slates
is mudo “within five miles of cur
Stale House. During tho last six
years the total* quanity mamifaefr
u od and ‘djjpooited ih tho distiller *
warehouses of tho country, was 11-
133,704 gallons, ah avorago of } t *
855,6117 gallons yearly, of whiett
total the disti-iefios tireund Hi'4
Tub made 10,860,120 gallons, or 91
per cent of all mad' 1 in this country.
Almost ah tho liquor sent from
(ho United States to eurso Africa
is sent from Boston. No other liq
nor than that most accursed of all
liquors, Boston’s rum is sent from
America to tho dark continent,

This Snako Drunk Whisky.
A corrosrondont hear Hamilton,
Marlon county, sends tho following:
Mr. Owen Hatch, who keeps a
small grocery sloro in this neigh *
bot hood, can vouch for tho truth of
this. Mr. Ilatcli soils liquor as
well as family groceries. Keeping
only a,small stock of liquor on
hand ho keops most of it in jugs.
Ono day last week u.two.gallon jug
of corn liquor was loft standing ou
tho floor behind tho counter. Mr,
Hatch stcpped.bchind the counter
and was surprislll to so© a black
snako coiled around the jug with
its head inside. II# watched it for
a moment and soon discovered that
the snake was drinking liquor, pit
was not disturbed and after severr f
minutes it slowly uncoiioci itredf
and altcmptod to crawl away, but
was too drunk, and stretched itself
out on tho fioor apparently asleep.
until next day. Air. l atch exaDi-i
ined tho jug, and found that tl o
snake Imdyirank more than a quart
of liquor. Two days later tho same
snake returned; 'ur:’ when if crawl¬
ed under tho counter Mr. Hatch
watched it. By coiling'itsclf around
tho jag fend giving its neck it twi; t
around tho stopper, it nw- able to
remove tho cork, and again thrust
its head inside and began to diinlc
liquor. It was allowed to (Link in
fill again, after which it was killed.

A Bevy of Girl Whistlers.
There aro twelve Chicago girls—•
twelve of them at Boris museum,
on Eighth avenue. They are hold¬
ing a whistling convention anil
they toot away from morning uni
til night in Lydian measures, love*
ly lullabies and mellifluous march
es. Their softly sighgig strains
striae tho fancies oi Botis’ patrons
as only tho soulful symphonies of
whistling Chicago girls ceuld.
Modest and demure they look
while seated in a row, but when
they rise to tho occasion—that in
to say, to their AKoiian twittering
—they are simply captivating.'
Mr. Boris brought them all tho
way from tho Windy City, and hq
is justly pi’oud ot his vcijture and
saj-s that Theodore Thomas, Pat-,
rick Gilmore, and other great lead¬
ers may profit by tho pointer if
they wish, but that.they will havo
to provide good music beforo it
will equal tho resonant sounds
emitted by tho ruby lips ol the
Chicago girls.
One thing is certain, tho museum
has been taxed to its utmost capac¬
ity to hold the thousands who dai¬
ly flock to hear tho girls, and they
are proving a very pleasing an t
popular attraction.—N^f York
