"She got up and went out, and 1 saw that she had sat down on a brand new silk hat that cost me eight dollars, and had ruined it. That was not very good luck for me." Detroit Free Press.

Years ago a man of considerable literary attainments and fairly good sense was crossing the plains, when he was thrown from his mule with such violence that he was for a long time insensible. By the use of whisky nnd other rough measures he was finally restored to consciousness just as lie was passing to another and better world. Looking solemnly upward into the tearful faces of his friends and economizing a moment in the matter of breath, he silently signified his wish to utter his last words. A dozen ears wero offered to receive them: "Don't put any poetry into my obituary," he said. San Francisco Examiner.

The liomio is gem-rnlly spurious oblong building, one story high, resting on a foundation of unhewn stones, frequently on a rock of solid granite.

Hound uboiit are grouped tlio out-bouses, which lire of the essence of nil Finnish farms: the cowhouse, tlio forge, tho siuldo, tho pigsty, the granary, tho little- house for artificially drying tiie corn, and tho bnlh-honxo (for tlm Finn's notions of cleanliness are extremely advaneed, and in summer even tho poorest peusaut takes a "Turkish" bath uboul six times a week; in winter nuec or twloo. Tlm corn fields, which are not divided hy fence, ditcli or hedgerow from tlm wide plain of rolling fern that stretches aw ay to tho forest, are studded over with stones and boulders that look, nt a distance, like petrified sheep and oxen.

Among the other staple articles of consumption are dried salt fish, herrings nnd cheese. Whenever meat is to lie found on a Finnish farm, it generally assumes the form of mutton which has been parboiled, salted and smoked, and which, if appearances are grossly deceptive, may piove a toothsome viand. No house is without a few hooks and newspapers, among wldeh you can always find a Bible, or nt least a New Testament and hymn hook. But besides these farm-houses, which are tenanted hy middle-class farmers, the traveler occasionally comes across a solitary wooden cabin standing in tlm dreary plain scores of miles away from tho next house, like a frail boat on a storm-tossed ocean. For the Finn lias no aversion to solitude; he likes to be alone with nature aud his conscience.

Like Thoreau, lie feels that our planet being still in the Milky Way, it would be folly to complain of loiiel.urss. And this love of peace and quiet is no less characteristic of 'tiie nation than of the individual. Moreover, it lias been strengthened by li tter experience of the results of launching ort into the ocean of polities sanguinary wars, famine, and pestilence, which have often reduced the population of Finland to a couple of hundred thousand souls. This experience, lies ut the root of the desire liich they liave always manifested to keep aloof from wars, rebellions, nnd political intrigues which were the main elements of tiie history of northern countries in the Middle Ages.

He is a doctor hut on this occasion he was himself practiced on. A friend of liis brought it about. In this way: They were sitting together, the doctor and Ids friuud, in thu hotel rotunda. Said the friend: "ITovv deceptive a men's looks are! Now, I'll venture to say you couldn't say how many sum. mors that man over there lias seen.

and he pointed to a man who was sitting some ten yards away looking steadfastly to the ceiling. "Pshaw!" said the doctor, "I say lie's do you really think I cant come within two years of ii? I say that you cant come within two years of telling the correct number of summers lie has seen. "Well, I never bet, but I certainly feel like doing it in this case. I say lie has seen thirty five summers. All right.

Now for the proof to the contrary. I happen to know him. And the friend piloted the medical gentleman over to where the subject of his guess was still gazing eeilingwards. "Robinson, old man, said the friend in soft sort of tone, "how many summers have yon seen or "I why, none at all, you know, none at all. He spoke in the piteous monotone that sometimes distinguishes the blind.

I have seen no summers. But if you mean how old I am he smiled faintly, thinking he was correcting his friends metophor "why, I am thirty-two. Tlio friend thanked him; the doctor gazed again nt tiie vacant though lifelike eyes and said, us he walked away: it wns a small sort of trick, I "But you didn't come very near to tiie correct number of summers ho had But tlio doctor only walked nwn.v moodily, muttering something about hating practical jokes.

I asked her to spell it. She hesitated again nnd then replied that she didnt know how it wns spelled.

With his own fair hands he has aided in drafting a bill which shall diminish and punish drunkenness He will have in the bill a clause making tlio Salvation Army a legal moral engine in his realm. His advisers know better the temper of tbe German people than he aoes, and have heard, which ho probably never has, of the strenuous opposition of Gormans in tlio United States to all prohibition laws, on the ground that they are an undue luterforance with porsonnl liberty, meddling with a mans natural right to eat and drink what ho pleases. But the emperor will not have it, and will insist on the passago of his bill. The spectacle of the emperor and a large proportion of his reiehstag locking horns on tlio prohibition question may therefore be looked for with interest.

It is by strengtliing this sentiment that the work of temperance reform is to be chiefly prosecuted. Tell a man tho law says he shall not get drunk and he is quite likely t'o do it out of spite convince him that "it does not pay to get drunk and no Jaw will be needed, OFFICE: Oyer 4H East Donafhw Akimic.

Louis Union Depot, THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT LAW. Tlio first city election under the Aus-traiion ballot law passed of smoothly. The law gives universal satisfaction to all who desire quiet, orderly and dignified elections. No doubt it can be improved in somo of its details, but its main features are admirable and Its results excellent. Somo of tlio worst features of elections unilor tho old system are entirely done away with.

The disorderly crowds around the polls, the noisy peddling of tickets, the offensive electioneering and solicitation of votes near 'the polls, tlio pulling and hauling of doubtful voters, tho prying into peoples ballots and trying to see how they vote, are all done away with. Perhaps tho two best features of tiie new system are tlio absolute secrecy of tho ballot nnd tho provision prohibiting any person from remaining within fifty feet of the polls. Every person feels nov as lie approaches the polls that lie is exercising a right ill a dignified way, and when ho prepares and folds his ballot lie feels that ho lias not boon subject to any meddlesome or pry ing dictation. Tlio secrecy of tlio ballot is a great safe guard to its puritv and independence, and the fifty feet exclusion provision works admirably. Indianapolis Journal HE WAS SHOCKED.

An Albuquerque traveling man relates tlio following: Not long ago I was riding through a great tunnel of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad near Raton, New Mexico, and was somewhat startled by the low soft tones of a feminine voice a few seats back, which said "Charley, dear, do behave and quit your monkeying. I was greatly shocked at this and the darkness hid a deep red blush that suffused my countenance as I pictured the scone behind me and tried in vain to penetrate the darkness to get a glimpse at the couple. The sweet voice again reached my ears in a frightened whisper "Charley do leavo my skirts alono Just at that moment the train glided into the light, showing no doubt a look of 1 horrified propriety on mv countenance and exposing to my view, three seats back, a pug dog (Charley) tugging at the hem of the skirt of his mistress, a spoclacloil old maid of perhaps fifty years. I immediately went into the smoker and it required several pipes of tobacco to quiet my nerves. DIPHTHERIA.
