Then he re timed: “My breakfast is eaten slowly and well digested. It gen erally lasts me until about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. At that tim ■ the gnawings of hunger begin to assert themselves. , This is where my discovery com s in. 1 always go provided with several small pieces of alum. When I begin to get liuflgry I place one of those little bits o! nlum in my mouth and allow it to slowly , dis olve. The effect is that it contracts tho throat and the stomach, and the sen sation of hunger disappears. I repeat this dose until bed time,nnd I fall asleep like a child. G iitlemen, I tell you that enting is nothing but a habit after all." The judge's imp utmt disc >very has not ns yet stimulated the alum market to any appreciable degree. Nnm ' Q leer Ointments. “I will bet you $4 against, an empty pill box,” said a N walk druggist, “that you cannot persuade a J. rsoy woodchop per that rattlesnake oil is not a sovereign remedy for rheum tism, or induce a Pennsylvania Hutch woman to ren unco her belief in the virtue of goosegrease for colds, sore throat and kindred com plaints.

A Ronmrkable Recovery. Dr. Robert St. George Dryauforth of Wa hingt. n relates a curious experience of his own during the civil war, and later while acting as a coriestiondent in the Franco-German war. While serving in the first great struggle th' doctor was shot through the lungs nd was invalideel. He subsequently w nt to Europe for his health and remained there some years Wh n the German war broke out he b . inc c ii '-po", lent for the N w York I'r.'j .ne, and in ono of the battles he was shot through the base of the sku'l. He caught a heavy cold while lying ! wounded on the battk-fi hl, and hu wound in the lungs troubled him so much that his life w is despaired of and : he was a victim of rapid consumption. One day during a violent fit of coughing the doctor brought up a piece of his ' overcoat, which had been shot into bis lungs t n years Wore. The ejection of th a cans.- . f irritation so relieved him that he at once became Iwtter, and finally I completely recov. r 1.

It was chained opposite the cage of a lion. From the first day these ani mals be< ntn : neighbors they < v need a hostility against each other tint al: irncd the managers. To prevent an outbreak, the elephant was removed to a p >int out of the sight of tho lion’s cage. It was thought the an'.m ds would forget each other. Shortly after midnight a watch man on the street w u startled by the rattling of chans, followed by the trumpeting of the elephant and the rour ing of the lion. Il istcningto the mu seum he found the managers and a num ber if the :t:igi.' work ngm-n battling with tli<- little elephant, which had seized the lion with its trunk by the hind leg mid was tugging to pull the beast through the bars of the cage. The roars of the lion aroused all the other aiiMhid.’, and their cries added to the confu ion. Twice the men succeeded in breaking the hold of the elephant, which then, maddened by K iatches and bites of the lion, strove to break down the strong cage in which its enemy wa? confined, and twice the elephant renewed its hold. Finally the men, rc-enforced by other workers in the museum, succeeded in binding the little cleplia t with ropes and chains, nnd securing him at a place far removed from the lion. It xvas found that the lion’s leg was badly wrenched. The elephant ‘ escaped with unimportant scratches and bites in Sts trunk. Birclte’t ltn<i Dream* Aunt Annie was getting ready for bed one night. It rained very hard, and there was thunder, with sharp flashes of ; lightning. The window was open, but . the blinds were shut. Suddenly she thought she hoard some filing say, “Chirp, chirp!" outside the shutters, and a little tap, tap, against them. She waited, and listened a mo i ment; and then it came again—a sharp little cry—“Wcet, weet!" She opened the sbutti rr, and in flew a little yellow bird. lie had been fast asleep in some high tree, when the bright flashes and the loud rain woke him up an 1 frightened hint so that he came to I the window and begged to be let in. 1 think he must have felt just as you do when you have a bad dreiunand want to creep into mamma’s bed. Perhaps he thought his house was on fire, or that the flood had come again. But, when he got in, the .gaslight and the strange place frightened him still more. He flew round and round the j ceiling until Aunt Annie was afraid he would batter himself to death. Bhe hud turned the gas down very low, so as to quiet him, when l e dashed into it, and put it out; but he did not Lum i himself. Aunt Annie put a towel over the water pitcher, so that he could not fall in, and she took care to move about very softly. Presently, the poor little fellow, finding that nobody wanted to hurt him, settled down on the gas-fixture at the head of the bed, folded his tired wings, tucked ' Ids little head (which must have ached, I am sure, from the bumps he ha I given it) under his feathers and xvent to sleep. He looked very queer indeed—just as though he had uo head. His tiny claws could just clasp nicely round the smooth perch he had chosen. Aunt Annie left the shutters and the window both open, while birdio slept all night or. th < funny roost; and, when the bright summer morning came, he fl. w- out into the fresh air, before auy bdy was awake. Away he ’.vent; anil we never saw him again. How astonished he mu t l ave been xvhen he opened his eyes, to find him self in a bedroom, sitting on a gas-fix ture I I guess he must have tlieught to himself: "How did I come bene! 1 went to sleep las night in a tree; And bow I got he e I do not see!’’ Earth Waves.

I, with two of my comrades, was sent to tL right of the Purdy road, on the brow of the hill near where the reserve was stationed. The night was one of unusu ally black darkness, and wo had orders Io shoot on sight. I xvas slightly in ad vance of my two comrades, and in a most solitary spot. Along.aboui four o’clock I heard some tie coming through the brush. Iliad no time to consult my comrades, for on he camo. I shouted “Halt!" My foe stopped. “Who comes there?” No reply, but on he came. I called again and then fired. I was frightened, and my heart was in my mouth. I heard something drop heavily to the groui <l, accompanied by a groan equal to the signal of a fog horn. My shot brought Lieutenant, Green, of my company, to the post. He with my comrades wanted to know what my shot meant. I said, “I have shot some one in that thicket, for I heard him groan." With the aid of a lantern which the Lieutenant had brought, wc proceeded to carefully investigate. We had not far to go until we came upon a dead mule, shot as fairly between the eyes as you please. The Saving Power of Whisky. General Steedman was fond of telling the following instance of what liquor would sometimes do. The night after the battle of Chicka mauga, Steedman was riding past a cabin by the roadside. A woman at the fence said to him: “There is a dead Union of fiicer in my house.” Steedman dis mounted and went in to see the dead man. fie found him lying in a corner covered with a blanket, where the sur geon had abandoned him. He pulled the covering off, stooped down, and by the light of a canle recognized his old friend, Colonel Durbin Ward. He was cold and apparently lifeless. Steedman felt his pulse, and found a slight fluttering. Call ing for his orderly, who carried a canteen of whisky, he raised the dying man. nnd putting the canteen to his mouth, poured a liberal quantity of the reviving fluid down his throat. The reaction came, the surgeons were sent for, and Durbin Ward was saved. He never got done thanking Steedman, and he never could listen with patience to a temperance orator decrying spirits thereafter. “I am a living exam ple,” ho used to say, “of the saving pow er of even commissary whisky.” The Wrong Leg. Mr. Smith had the rheumatism and the doctor failed to cure it. One day a friend asked leave to send a lady mind curer to his aid. The Indy came, boasted of her exploits in her science, and, sud denly placing her hand on the patient's knee, cried: “I feel it—the sciatica is all centered here I” Mr. Smith eyed the lady, quizzically. “Excuse me, maddam,” he said, “but you’ve touched the wrong leg. The pain is all in the other one.” A Lover’s Motto. “Funny motto to put ou your coat of-anns, Bigsby !” “What’s that ? ’ “So far. and no farther.” “I don't understand it.” “It refers to my courtship, and its happy and speedy termination was be cause we told the old man at the begin ning that our principles were so-fa. and no father.” A Tonsorial Dentist. “Razor pull, sir ?” “N no. See here, barber, didn’t you us" to be a dentist ?” “N> t as I knows of." “You'd make a good one.” “Why so, sir ?” “If nil my teeth were on the outside of my face you'd have them out in a min ute.’' The Empress of Austria is full of patri otic prejudice.

The idea of education is to train the mind so that its action may lie rapid and logical, its functions healthy and law abiding. In accomplishing this, the storehouse becomes filled with knowledge useful and pleasurable. IVomen’s education was, at one time, considered thorough when her mind had Im-ui trained to comprehend only the sentimental part of life; of its practical part she need not know anything. All this is changed. In those days she was not expi'ctcd to study what her brothers delved into, to its depths. Her talents and aspirations were hedged about by conventionalities, bounding her ambi tions on every side. Now the willing nes- to give her opportunities increases, and educational institutions invite her patronage. Universities and colleges prejiare her for professional life; techni cal and business schools fit her for busi ness and the trades. it is conscientious work the world needs, and the more capable a woman is, the more thoroughly she prepares herself, i the more desirable her work will be, and the more extensive her market. The world is fast finding out that, be hind the gentleness and grace possessed by woman, there are just as large stores of judgment,eni rgy and thoroughness, and it is fast utilizing these resources. In bus- I iness, success depends upon the value of the work one can do, and it is beneath the dignity of a true woman to appeal for patronge, simply because she is a woman. First fit yourself for what you would undertake, then patiently demand it, and you stand au equal chance with your ' brother. The higher a woman aspires the more ' extensive should be her education. If she expects to begin that long scige to enter a profession, the highest and best law schools are open to her; the faculties of our finest medical colleges receive her courteously; technical institutions will fit her for lithographing, wood carving, architectural work and designing for house decoration; business col'eges xviL te ch her a knowledge of accounts. An education gained in either school will lay the foundation for an active, in dependent life. Every girl should re ceive Hull an education with the idea of utilizing it, and then, if she ever accepts an offer for a quiet home partne sliip.it xvill make her an active partner as well as a helping one. * We have yet to learn of a spirited, well informed woman losing anything in the estimation of the world by the knowl edge that renders her independent. Women in Mar. The suffragists arc xvaging war in tin: East. New York is the battlefield most exciting at present. Kenridge, a mime familiar to Ledger renders, treats the subject in most felicitous fashion in a late issue of the New York Graphic. She says: “They want the spoils of war, but not its dangers; for how many do you suppose would be willing to do mili - tary service ? If forced to march against the enemy, they would look with more anxiety to the fit of their uniforms than to the conditions of their swords and muskets. If the opposing army had some pretty good-looking men in front they might forget to fire nt them until tbo late, or if the General came prancing forward on his charger with a few mati nee tickets the entire regiment would surrender at discretion. But take the most favorable view of the case—even that has its horrors. Imagine our noble band of suffrage infantry communing with each other on a battlefield m this w ise: “Oh, Julia, -come help me load this horried gun. Is there a trigger ? And whereshall I put it ? In the barrel—oh, no, that's where tiie bullets goes.” “Nevermind leading up now,” says Julia; the enemy’s over two miles off. j Here’s some caramels I found in my hav ; crsack.” “What nasty, sharp swords these, are,' says a third; “I've a good mind to throw mine away, and just use this sweet little silver dagger Cousin George gave me for a paper-knife.” “I don’t believe our caps came from Paris,’ says a fourth; ‘they’re not the very lastest style for army use.’ At which there is a shriek of disgust, and the command to march being given, the ladies meander off to meet Hie enemy, feeling terribly depressed by tliLs infor -1 mat ion ” Kenridge is so disgusted with her own picture that she feebly concludes: “De fended by such soldiers, this land of the free and home of the brave wouldn’t be worth living in." Too Bashful. “Bridget, you sit up so late that we don’t have hviikfast till nine o'clock.” “I'll do better, mum ” “I think it's the beaux, Bridget.’ “Likely, mum.” “And you’ll have to stop sitting uj» so late nights in the kitchen with them. ’ “Oil, thank ye, mum, but they’d be so bashful in the parlor, ye sec.” Bab falls bumpsits head, Baby baw fa, they think its dead.
