She reached him just as he was about to sink from exhaustion, ^ler strength not being equal to the t ff of lifting him into the boat, she told hiqa to holdfast to the stern and thus she rowed ashore. She was perfectly cooi and self-posses sed until the young man had been safely brought Lo the beach, when, like a true girl, she did tbe proper thing and fainted. Bishop Wiqhtman’s Escape.—Bishop W. M. Wightman, of the M. E. church, South, recently Rad a very narrow es cape in Montana Territory. He had just been to hold a conference at Den- CHICKeNs AND CHICKEN CHOLERA. Meat of the sic^nos of chickens is caused by filth, neglect anil want of proper care and attention, Wherever you find healthy fowls you will sec that they are pioperly;attended to and pro vided for by-their owners. A dirty pan or fowl trough is not suitable for them to drink from ; a house tilled with Hcc is no place for t hem to roost in ; sour, wet dough is, not suitable food for them. If you desire healthy chickens give them pure, fresh water, a clean house to live in, and good food to eat If you wish well flavored eggs, keep your hens away from manure piles and hog pens, and- give them sound grain, permitting them also to run on grassiots. Give.them rich food and they will give you well colored, nice eggs. Wheat and corn will give the egg a good color. ’/ For chicken cholera give fat bacon, chopped fine and sprinkled plentifully - with black pepper. A tablespooful should be forced down 'the throat of each chitken morning and evening. No other food is necessary. For young chickona mako the dose smaller, say a pill of the above about the size of an or Woman’s' I*ot In the Fiii|klre. OlcMtini diuaryj A novel and striking feature in con nection with the Chinese Minister’s en tertainment in Loudon was tbe new departure taken by his Excellency from the established custom of hi 0 country iu allowing bis wife to be present to do the honors as hostess, what will hfs fellow countrymen in China say to such a' concession to the foreigner, such a deviation from their social system f The higher classes of Chinese, like true Orientals, keep their wofiien strictly secluded from the vulgar gaze. Woman’s position Iq, China is not an enviable one. She Is looked down upon as an Inferior, is seldom educated, and is regarded more in the light of an appendage than as a helpmeet, counsellor #Dd friend. -Even as early as her entrance upon life she receives a cbllling welcome. Chinese parents Invariably desire sons, no matter bow many cbildreu they may have. Americans waut sons-in-law. was, of course, on a stage, and one bright, cold’ morning he reached a breakfast bouse to find it in flames. The Cheyenne Indians had just made a raid on the place, and had destroyed things generally. The good bishop found a poor Methodist preacher sit ting quite disconsolate near the ruins- The Indians had robbed him of bis horse and wagon. The savages had not been gone three hours, and the bishop was luckily late enough to es cape. 4 . ^ Showing the WRite Feather.— There are a Northern Methodist church and a Northern Presbyterian church at Chattanooga, Tennessee. The pas tors of these churches were, of course, Northern men and probably Ifadicals. When the plague brokn out both of these gentlemen precipitately retired, and returned in panic to tbe frozen re gions out of which they bad carpet- bagged. The pastors of all the other churches remained ; and one of them, at least, Father Ryan, of the Catholic church, fell at bis post. The want of sympathy of tbe alien pastors In the sufferings and dangers of the comma- nlty upon which they had forced themselves is a fact sufficiently signifi cant to need no comment.—[Atlanta Constitution. ■ Arkansas Traveljy ; Indiara has rigtity-sevou Idiots and hin&tics In her asylum.
