E very observing man has seen similar “conversions au<l deplored tliefh. A HA I ) ONE. The Troy Praying Band have just closed a Season of prayer here, and suc ceeded in gathering many converts to the Methodisf belief. Among those converts was one, a party of the female persuasion \ and French extraction, who became im pressed with the spirit and was loud in i her protestations of her sinfulness, Arc. She was a little late in gettingltopie, and ] in (life morning' her aged grandfather asked lier the ciitise of her being out so late. She replied, very respectfully, that it was none of his d—(arned, 1 suppose) business, and therewith threw ut him the tea kettle which was "full' of hot water, and the cover coming off the fepttle, a stream'of hot; wa ter flew from the spout. Ihe result of t his little experiment was a decided success. To-day the old gentleman wears an oil plaster of Spmfe description all over the left side of his dear old face, and' one of j his hands looks like a sauce-plate full of wilted-cabbage. But our ungel did' not cease there with her pleasant little manip ulations. Khe had more of the good work to perform: Her married sister who 1 lived in the other part of the house, hur ried in to see what the row was, and was j immediately set upon by bur new concert. . At the close of the interview, the married sister’s face looked like a map of the south ern confederacy, and she lkjw wears a red woolen rag around her throat to help her respiration. The brother of the seraph, aged nine, came in for a lick from the) skimmer, too, before dinner, for she lath- j ered blazes out of him because he told her father that “Sis hung over the gate last | night for more’n an hour, talkin’ with Zeb.” The New York Tribune says that the j National Treasury is so economically ; managed that when a barrel wears out the | bung-hole is sent the cooper’s for e -pairs. Frightened by Their Mother’s Ghost About U o’clock bust .night the vicinity of Tenth and Market streets was suddenly thrown into a couunotioii by the weeping of two young Indies who had rushed from their residence into the street. A large crowd had quickly gathered, and had so encircled the ladies that it was with a good deal of difficulty that a Timex repor ter gained the interim of the circle, where he found hiihself face to face with both, who were weeping bitterly and appeared very much excited. One of the ladies is about nineteen years of age, and the other is quite a girl about ton. On being questioned by the reporter concerning, the cause of their trouble, the elder stated that she was sitting in the room, faeiug the street, when her sister turned around and saw a white form making motions through the window from the back yard. She immediately started up, and, on look ing through the window, saw the form outside, going through a kind of vacilla ting motion, as though beckoning some one to come away. They were so terribly ; frightened that they rushed into the street and by their loud cries, attracted the atten tion of the crowd. The reporter subsequently learned that ! Miss Manker was the elder lady's name, I and that she has been frequently thrown i inti) an alarming state by the appearance of this form. He also heard that since ; the death of her mother, three years ago' its appearance has been the cause of keep ing her in continual dread. She and her sister sat ou the dbor step of a neighbor ing house and refused to go buck to their , room until their father, who was out, had returned. About half-past nine the father arrived mid found them weeping on the door step. He led them back to the house and having closed the door, laid a good talk about the mysterious visitor. -St. Louis Times. Profits trf 1 a Gallon of Whisky. The following calculations were made I after consultation with several prominent I dealers, both wholesale and retail. Whisky, though sold in barrels, is paid for iby the gallon. There are three general classes of customers- those who intend to ] sell a good quality of liqour at 15c a glass; those wlo intend to sell a reasonably good qunility at 10c; and those who for the lat ter price make a practice of palming oft' the cheapest compound that call bo made to resemble whisky. The three kinds purchased w ill average in price $4, 62.50 | and 81.25 per gallon respectively. To the i best whisky about one-eight of its qnanti jtv is added. Thus the saloon-keeper con verts his gallon of thirty-two gills into thirty-six gills. The average drink is j about half a gill. Reckoning, then, sev enty-two drinks at fifteen cents a drink, the gross receipts for a gallon arc 810.80. Substraeting the cost given above, there j remains a profit of 80.80, or 170 per cent |of the cost. This per centage is not so lunch a year, let it lie remembered, lmt is made as Often fii the year as the stock can he turned. Men who buy whisky at ten cents a glass will pour in about two thirds of a gill with ! one-eighth addition of water. The profits ■ will be found to bis 62 00, or 110 per cent, of the cost; Tho cheapest whisky is wa tered at least one-fifth, and then adulter ated with pepper and other ingredients to ' restore its strength. This gives thirty nine gills. Reckoning three-quarters of a gill as the average drink of the class Which consumes it, there will be found the enor mous profit over the original cost of 8f 25 a gallon of 85 25, or 420 per cent.—-V.

Fat Meat for Consumptives. V 'said for fat meat is unfortimely not universal among children, but Wlieii it shows itself it is often universally repressed by r p,irents. This taste is anotln r expression of the wants of the living system which we can not disregard with impunity. Without fats the organism can not be built up in perfection. Fats counte 1-act. the tendency to consumption. Observation Ims estab lished the fact that persons who in early I life show a taste for fat meat seldom fall | victims to that disease; and, vim versa, j that consumptives have generally shown j an early repugnance to such food. There j can be no question as to the lesson taught j by this fact—that when tho appetite ex ists it ought to be indulged, and that it j ought, if possible, to be created, when j wanted, by tonics, and- abundant exercise in the open aif.
