i AID FROM AN ALBATROSS. ag most remarkable "dr- 1 in a fftl an officer of the Eighty-thinl regiment, now in Indio, to a friend in Montreal. ’Whilst the division of the Eighty-third regiment, to which the writer belonged, was on its way to India, being at the time a short distune.' eastward of the Cape, one oi. the men was severely flogged for some slight ofleuse. Mad dened at the punishment the poor fellow was no sooner released than, in sight of all his comrades, he sprung overboard. There was a high sea running at the time, and os the man swept on astern all hope of sating liUp seemed to vanish. Belief, however, come from a quarter where no quo ever dreamed of looking for it 1» fore. During the delay iairtdeol on lowering a boat, and while the crowd on deck were watching the form of the soldier struggling with the boiling waves, and growing every moment loss distinct, a large albatross, such as are always found in those latitudes, coming like magic, with,, on almost imj n^tiqnfcjppsp^hedagd^ _ at the man, who, in the agonies of the death struggle, seized it and held it in his grasp, and by this means kept afloat until assistance was reudered from the vessel. Incredible as this story seems, the name and position oi the writer of the let ter, who was an eye-witness o( the scene, placed its autheut icily beyond doubt! But for the assistance thus rendered, the writer adds, no power on earth oonld have saved the soldier, as, in conseqnenoe of the tremendous sea running, a long time elapsed before the beat could be manned and got down-ell this tiffitihe man dinging to the bird, whose flatter- iugs and straggles to escape bore him up. Who, after this, should despair? a raging see—s drowning man—on al batross; what eye couhl see safety un- d^UMlH cyfsrtBtas#,? Tk tfiljpuq to rail this chance? Is it hot rather a lesson intended to stimulate faith aud hope, and tench us never to despair, sineo in the darkest moment, when the waves dash and the winds roar, and a gulf seems closing over our heads thero may be an albatross near. TAKING CAKE OF BABIES. If you wish to have a healthy and child yotj, must bathe the baby twice a day. There is, perhaps, no cross and irritble man or woman who goes without a daily bath but would be better if it were regularly token. Your infant will be so much more quiet with daily baths as to fully pay you for your time and trouble in giving them. It will grow np stronger and will be more likely to have cleanly and genteel instincts all through life. Begin with water that is moderately warm, oiul change gradually! very gradually, to colder water, but not too cold water. A. cool hath will be more strengthening tlmn if you keep to the warm not too dl great a hurry to ge [er, providing the child is 0 not be 1*0IS ON IN EVE HV-11 AY FOOD Committees of expert* tell of adulter ation in food that is simply appalling. Were the ingredients which are mixed with food innoouons it would still bo a very great hardship; hut when it is known that the most violent poisons are employed it is n marvel I Imj the whole country docs not rise up i.nd put a stop to such practices aud punish all dealers who sell ]K)isonoU8 luiii'lcs of food. If confirmation of these startling state ments were needed, one has only to rend tho facts recently brought to light in Chicago, where it is impossible to find pure sugar and win".'" not 10 j>or cent, of the milk is good. Tn flint city the bread without exception is poisonous ; tho teas were never imported, hut are made of loaves “ faced ” with Prussian blue nnd chromate of lend. Seventy- five 1st cent, of the cream of tartar is white earth, and tho coffee is coated with lamp-black. But Chicago is no worse than other cities. Baking pow ders aro largely composed of alum, | Pickling fluid is diluted with sulphuric j acid, nlum aud vordigri* to give it a jw- j culiar flavor.

Costly spices are counterfeited in a terribly grotesque manner, th« flavor- _ _ B _ _ cool bath, ition comes only when the child is well, strong and old onoiigh to generate animal heat. A handful of salt may he thrown into the bath. Dry tho child quickly and gently, and dust tho skin with starch powder that bus no scent in it. ts should lie light the earlier years —say for three years—a child needs plenty of warmth. Let tho feet, abdomen and chest always be health fully worm. Do not overdo this, how ever, with heavy garments that will keep, the child if. a vapor bath of per- •pinion. .'The flannel dything, as wtli as other dress of the child, must be fre quently changed to promote health. All. the clothing must lie loose enough to give free play to the vital orgaus. Be clean in everything pertaining to your rooms, or you will poison the child you love, not enough to kill it, jierlmps, bnt sufficiently to impair vitality and mako it harder for the child f-j, gve. Keep tho child clean or \ t will poison itself. All discharge* from the body are poisonous daoso from the skin as well At others. An un;Jcs.*aiit smell that is perceived about many t^soii*, and in their apartmeuts, is known as the tutor humanux, or human odor—that is, the smell of dead, foul, poisonous matter, exhaled through the skin, and never washed from the body. Neither milk nor drinking water should lie allowed to stand in <ipeu vessels, whore it might become contam inated by tho germs of disease or from foul or infected air from sinks, drains, cesspools or other sources. Both milk and venter readily absorb the germs of a groat variety of diseases—ns, for instance, diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid fover, diphtheria, etc. GLOVER&DUffl (SUCCESSORS TO W. T.

J/tralil, received a backset in our District Court. Tils Honor, Judge Noonan, had appointed two young lawyers to defend an old and experienced horse-thief. Alter inspect ing his couuscl for Borne time iu silence, the prisoner roso in his place and ad dressed tho bench: “Air them to defend me?” “Yes, sir,” said his Honor. “Both of ’em?" inquired the pri- oner. “ Both ri them, ” responded tho Hires a mechanical battery to put it to activity,- ami hence vra enh use it ns an agent in tdegrapliing. But only nn- usual conimot'ou 'on the sun, as in the earth itself, disturbs onr electric equil ibrium nnd brings on sn electric storm. The aurora borealis is nil evidence of Tho. existence of such h storm, hut our duly* rare inode of defecting it is the tele graphic wire. ‘ An electric storm travels iu impulsive wares iu any direction. 11 the wave is in the fame direction as the artificial current ill a wire, that current is greatly increase 1. If it moves iu an opposite direction tlm artificial current is annulled, and no message cau be sent. An eastern or western wind has no effect on a wire running north uud south. Frequently the wires may he used with out n battery during these storms, aud Judge, “Then I plead gui'ty,” and the poor j often no business can be done till devil took his scat and sighed heavily. «torm subsides. ui Monk Sf-t-t U, BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA.
