Very Necessary Precautions.?
Eastern Financier?Yes, sir; the greatest
1 scheme yet. We are going to organize a
new telegraph company in opposition to
Jay Gould. Want to join ?
Omaha Capitalist?Jay Gould is going to
Enrope, I hear.
"Yes."
"Will he stay there ?"
V "O, no. He'll be back in a few months."
"He will?"
I "Yes."
"Well, I'll buy stock in your new com- 1
pany if you'll agree to take the poles and
i Wires in at night."?Omaha World.
|^"Yes," remarked Dumley, at the
N supper table. "I was a soldier in the late
I war, and if I do say it myself, I was a good
( one."
\ Presently Featherly broke the awful si^
lence:
"Were you wounded, Dumley?" he
asked.
"N-no, but after the battle of Bull Run
I was reported amon^ the killed. But the
report was corrected."
"Corrected to 'among the missing' I suppose,"
said Featherly, helping himself to
butter.
Couldn't Aim.?A Boston young man
was taken out by some Fort Worth gunners
to kill ducks at Hurst's lake. As a large
flock of canvas backs floated right by him,
and he didn't shoot, one of the Fort Worthites
got excited and yelled:
"Why in thunder didn't you shoot?"
"Why," answered the Boston man, "every
time I got my gun leveled at one, four
or five other blame green headed fools
would swim right in between, so I never
could get a good aim at one."
The party went home.?Texas Colonel.
The Ugliest.?The ugliest man in the
known world is an Eastern Prince. Conscious
of his misfortune, no looking glasses
were hung in his palace. Visiting a neighboring
Prince, the ugliest of men was accompanied
by his Vizier, and the two came
face to face with a mirror, when both burst
into tears. "Moderate your grief, my faithful
frietfd," said the Prince, "you see I am
quite resigned."
"Oh! It is not that, my noble master,"
replied the Vizier. "You have only seen
Jwurself for a single instant. I have to
ook ai; you every day."?Figaro.
A Good Story About Lincoln.?President
Lincoln said once that the best story
he ever read in the papers of himself was
this: Two Quakeresses were traveling on
" ^ 11 J J V>nn r*A /I icoiTCCl fl Cf

the probable termination of the war. "I
thing," said the first, "that Jefferson will
succeed." "Why does thee think so?" asked
the other. "Because Jefferson is a praying
man." "And so is Abraham a praying
man," objected the second. "Yes, but the
Lord will think Abraham is joking," the
first replied, conclusively.?.Boston Budget.
He Probably Recovered It.?Mrs.
Bullion?What was the difficulty, Harold,
between you and Mr. Balderstone ? I declare
I thought he was going to strike you
at one time.
Mr. Bullion (lightly)?Nothing serious,
my dear. We were discussing free trade
and Balderstone completely lost his temper.
Mrs. Bullion (thankfully)?Lost his temper?
How happy his poor wife will be
now?Philadelphia Call.
ttoS" Dr. J. M. C., before he sat down to a
country dinner, said: "I am very fond of
craut, madam." So his plate was very
bountifully helped. The craut was old,
sour, slick and bad. The doctor ate a few
bites and stopped. "Why, doctor!" said
the good woman, "I thought you said that
you were very fond of craut?" The doctor
felt he was caught, but extricated himself
by saying: "Yes, madam, I am, but then
it takes very little to do me."
The King Headed the List.?The
King of Persia once ordered his vizier to
make out a list of all the fools in his dominions.
He did so, and put his majesty's
name at the head of them. The king
asked him why, and he immediately answered:
"Because you entrusted a lac of
rupees to men you don't know to buy
horses for you a thousand miles off, and
mhrt'll nooor mmfi hact." "Av. but SUD- I
pose they come back ?" "Then I shall
erase your Dame and insert theirs."
The Health Resorts.?First DoctorBusy
?
Second Doctor?Yes, almost worked to
death.
"So am I. It will be two months before
the people returning from their health getting
trips will quit sending for the doctors."
"That's a fact. If ?t wasn't for these
health resorts we woulc1 have to go out of
business."?Texas Si/tings.
A Long Look Ahead.?Young Husband?"It
does seem to me you might
learn how to cook better than that; my
mother?" Young wife?"There that will
do; I refrain from learning how to cook
on principle." "Oh, you do; thinking of
me, of course ?" "No, of my son." "Son?"
"Yes, I don't intend he shall ever make
any nice girl miserable bragging about ray
cooking.".
A Mild Hint.?They had been sitting
in contemplative silence for a long time,
when William musingly said: "I think,
Naomi, that there is a great deal of wisdom
in that old saying: 'Silence is golden.'
" "There may be, but gold is unhandy.
I would rather have a bill." It took
him an hour to "catch on," but he finally
offered himself.?Lincoln Journal.
Not on an Empty Stomach.?Anxious
Arkansaw Mother?Tommy, is that a
green persimmon you are eatin' ?
"Yes, maw."
"Don't you know it ain't healthy to eat
green persimmons on an empty stomach ?"
"I ain't eatin' this persimmon on an
empty stomach. I ate a peck of 'em before
I tackled this one."?Texas Si/tings.
Different Remedies.?A lady whose
husband had a severe cold recommended
flaxseed lemonade.
"Huh!" he said, irascibly, "a man can't
have a cold without everybody suggesting
some fool remedy. I'll send for a doctor."
So the doctor came, charged the sick man
$2 for his visit and advised flaxseed lemonade.?
New York Sun.
A Little Superstitious.?Wife (to
husband)?There were two hats that I liked,
one for $13 and one for $18.
Husband?Which did you finally decide
upon?
Wife?The $18 one. I'm a little superstitious
about the number thirteen.?New \
York Sun.
Looking Ahead.?"Please, ma'am,!
will you give me something to eat ? I
haven't had a morsel to-day," said a tramp
at a farm-house. "Why, man, what do
you mean ?" said the lady, "you've got a
large loaf of bread under your arm ; why
don't you eat that ?" "If I did that what
would I do to-morrow?" said the tramp.!
Its Effect.?Young Mr. Sissy (to his
pretty cousin)?I say, Maude, how did my
song, "Home Again from a Foreign
Shore," seem to impress the company ?
Pretty Cousin?Well, some of them,
Charley, looked as if they were sorry you
had got back.?New York Sun.

PACTS ABOUT THE SEA.
The sea is the reservoir into which run
all the rivers of the world. It is the cistern
which catches all the rain that falls, not only
upon its own surface, but upon the surface
of the land and the roofs of our homes.
All this water is removed again by evaporation
as fast as it is supplied. It is estimated
that every year a layer of the entire
sea fourteen feet thick is taken up into the
clouds. This vapor is fresh, and if all the
water could be removed in the same way
and none of it returned it is calculated that
there would be left a layer of pure salt 230
feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic.
This is upon the supposition that three
feetdepth of water contains one inch depth
of salt, and that the average depth of the
ocean is three miles.
At a depth of about 3,500 feet the temnpmfurfi
is uniform, varvinc: but a trifle
between the poles and the equator. The
colder water is below. It is reported that
in many deep bays on the coast of Norway
the water often begins to freeze at the bottom
before it does at the surface.
At this depth the waves are not felt.
Waves do not travel?that is, the water
does not move forward, although it seems
to do so ; it stays in the same place. The
rising and falling moves on.
We measure waves by their height and
by the distance from crest to crest In deep
water this latter distance is about fifteen
times the height of the waves. In shallow
water the proportion is less, and this
makes a choppy sea.
The force of the waves is in proportion
to their height. It is said that the sea
strikes on Bell rock with the force of seventeen
tons to each square yard.
The pressure of the water ceases as we go
down. At the depth of a mile this pressure
is reckoned at more than a ton to the
annarn inph?that is more than 133-timeS
WM?*WW ?? the
pressure of the atmosphere.
To get correct sounding in deep water is
difficult. A shot weighing thirty pounds
carries down the line. Through this sinker
a hole is bored, and through the hole
is placed a rod of iron which moves easily
back and forth. In the end of the bar a
cup is dug out, and the inside is coated
with lard. The bar is made fast to the
line and a sling holds the shot on.
When the bar, which extends below the
shot, touches the bottom, the sling unhooks
and the shot slides off. The cup in
the end of the bar holds some of the sand,
or whatever may be on the bottom, and a .
cover shuts over the cup to keep the water
from washing the sand out. In this way
we learn the character of the deep sea bottom.
It will be seen at once that we can know
the depressions of the bottom of the ocean
more easily and more accurately than we
can learn the elevation of the land. As a
consequence we have a better topographical
map of much of that surface than we
have of the continents.
The depth of the sea presents some interesting
considerations. If the Atlantic
were lowered 6,564 feetit would be reduced
to half its present width. If it were lowo
littia mnro than thrp? miles there
VI VU CV llbklV U?V1V VtlV?u ?...?? ?
would be dry land all the way between
Newfoundland and Ireland. If the Mediteranean
were lowered 660 feet, Africa
would be joined to Italy and three separate
seas would remain.
GENERAL TAYLOR.
President Taylor was probably the only
President to whom the Presidency was an
uncoveted and unsought for boon. Mrs.
Taylor was so averse to public life that
it was said she prayed every night
during his candidacy for his defeat, and
when told of his election, said: "Why
could they not let us alone? We are so
happy here/ Why do they want to drag
us to Washington V" Who that ever saw
General Taylor at a levee could forget
him ? He grasped every newcomer cordially
by the hand, and saluted all, high and
low, old maids, brides, young girls, all,
with the words, "Glad to see you ! Glad
to see you! How's your family? Hope
your children are all well." His greeting
was almost equal to Rip's toast: "Here's
to you and your family. May you live
long and prosper!" He hardly ever opened
his mouth without making a mistake,
and people laughed heartily. Still they
loved him, trusted his judgment, and
knew his heart and hand were true as
steel; and when he died the whole nation
was a mourner at his grave. When
Major Donelson returned from Europe he
introduced him at a dinner party as "My
friend Donelson, just from Berlin, Austria."
During his candidacy, Col. W ,
a State elector, after discussing several
public topics, asked him what were his
views on the tariff. "The tariff, Jack,"
said General Taylor, who stuttered dreadfully.
"The tariff', General," said Col.
W . "Why, what's that!" "It's a
sine qua non," said Col. W , who was
one of the greatest wags that ever lived,
"that the people are much excited about
now." "A sine qua non," said General
Taylor, slowly. "I believe, Jack, I saw
one in Mexico, but I forget what it looks
like ; and I'll be blamed if I have any
views on the tariff."?Boston Budget.
Had Enough of Liberia.?Taylor, the
colored Democrat from Kansas (Jity, 310.,
whom the President appointed minister
resident and consul general to Liberia, has
left his post of duty in disgust, and proposes,
so soon its the sixty days' leave of absence
he has obtained has expired, to resign
his commission. A Washington letter
to the New York Times says: Taylor
has prepared a report of one hundred and
fifty pages, which will not be pleasant
reading for Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore,
and other enthusiastic originators of the
Liberia colonization scheme. "It is the
toughest country," he says, "I ever struck.
They have no mules, no ploughs, and the
average wages are $4.88 a year?$4.88 a
year," he repeated. "They have some
rich gold mines, but they will shoot any
one who attempts to develop them. My
God ! I exclaimed, if this is the country of
my fathers, it is a good thing they left it,
and any negro who wants to get back ought
to be hanged, and any white man who
wants to go there should be put in an insane
asylum, There is no business for a
consul general to do. Only four American
vessels come there a year, and all from
Boston. The general of the army is a feed
consul for Belgium, the postmaster general
is a feed consul for Hayti. The Liberian
Brass Band, consisting of one drum with
a hole in it and cracked fife, came and serenaded
all the night of the Fourth of July
and next morning sent me in a bill for $20.
They have their bill yet for their pains.
I was earning a good living in Kansas
City, when my friends urged me on Secretary
Bayard for this place. I want to go
back to Kansas City again. I have had
enougn 01 ijioeria."
Seeing a 3Ian Hanged.?There aie
lots of people who want to see an execution
simply for the purpose of being, able
to boast of it afterward. With such I have
no sympathy whatever. I have never
seen but one man hanged, and if I can help
it I will never see another. It happened
several years ago and I have never forgotten
my sensations. I experienced nothing
but a gentle feeling of curiosity until
the condemned man was led into the jail
yard. As he ascended the steps of the
gallows I felt that indescribable sinking
in the region of the stomach which makes j
oue think there is nothing solid in hisanatomy
below the collar bone. I tried to j
keep from observing his faltering steps j
and pallid looks, but there seemed to be a |
magnet which drew my eyes to his fear j
stricken countenance with irresistible
force.
As the knot was finally adjusted I turn-!
ed my gaze away and noticed that the rest
of the spectators looked about as frighten-1
ed as the man about to die. I couldn't j
keep my gaze concentrated upon any one
object, but it roved over the assembly, and
finally?though I tried to prevent it from
doing so?rested fair and square upon the
face of the condemned man. His eyes
met mine, and there was an appealing
look in them that went to my heart and
made me feel like a murderer myself.
After that I could no more look away than j
1 could jump over the court house. When j
the drop fell I sauk to the ground in a
dead faint. It was a horrible sensation, i
I can assure you, and I wouldn't go through j
it again for the world.?Chicago Ileralil. '
1
The Won/.d's Graveyard?Considerable
disputes have been had relative to the
space required to contain the people of the
earth from Adam to the end of G,000 years.
The space required is comparatively insignificant
when the almost incomprehensible
number of people are taken into consideration.
The basis of calculation is
presumably overestimated. The present
population of the earth is reputed to be
1,400,000,000 people. We have 133 years
yet to complete 0,000 years, but if we take
700,000,000 as an average dying every generation,
we find that in 0,000 years, allowing
33J years to a generation, 180 generations
will have passed, or 700,000,000x180?
120,000,000,000 (billions) of people will have
existed at the completion of 0,000 years.
Allowing one square yard to each, they
would occupy a space of 37,448 square
miles. This is a little more than one-half
the size of Missouri (03,415 miles) and
seven times leas than the size of Texas

earth for 18,000 years. Allowing 2 feet to
stand on, for each person, at the end of G,000
years they would make a belt around the
earth (25,000 miles) 477 deep, or from the
earth to (he moon (200,000 miles) 50 deep,
whilst it would take eight times the number
to extend from here to the sun in a
single line.?Kanscis City Times.
Influence op Beer on Digestion.?
Professor H. A. Hare, M. D., of the University
of Pennsylvania, has recently been
subjecting to scientific tests the popular
idea that beer is an aid to digestion. It has
long been supposed by many that the
lighter forms of alcoholic liquors, particularly
the various forms of beer, are an aid
to digestion. The experiments made very
clearly show that beer distinctly retards
both salivary and gastric digestion. This
was true with reference to every specimen
of beer examined, some seventeen in all.
In more than two-thirds of the specimens
of beer examined the stomach digestion
was delayed considerably more than one
hour, and in some instances the delay was
nearly two hours. Some recent experiments
made by Professor Duggan, of Baltimore,
at the Johns Hopkins University,
show that alcohol in all its forms retards
the digestion to starch in a very marked
degree. These two sets of experiments
together show very conclusively that
beer retards the digestion in consequence
of the alcohol which it contains. When
it is considered that the nutritive value of
,beer is so exceedingly small that a whole
hogshead contains no more actual nutriment
than a single loaf of bread, it will at
once appear that the popular faith in beer
as an aid to digestion or to nutrition has
no foundation whatever.?Good Health.
Travel in 1817 Versus 1887.? A magazine
published in Philadelphia in 1S18
gave the following as an item of news:
"In the course of the twelve months of
1817 19 000 \vncrrm? nascprl fhp Allpo-hnnv
- -) vvy V..V, -r-l ^
Mountains frotn Philadelphia and Baltimore,
each with from four to six horses,
carrying from thirty-five to forty hundred
weight. The cost of carriage was about $7
per hundred weight, in some cases as high
as $10, to Philadelphia. The aggregate
sum paid for the conveyance of goods exceeded
$1,500,000." To move a ton of
freight between Pittsburg and Philadelphia
therefore cost not less than $140, and
took probably two weeks' time.
In 1886 the average amount received by
the Pennsylvania Railroad for the carriage
of freight was three quarters cent per ton
per mile. The distance from Philadelphia
to Pittsburg is 385 miles, so that the
ton which cost $140 in 1817 was carried in
1886 for $2.87. At the former time the
workingmen of Philadelphia had to pay
$14 for moving a barrel of flour from Pittsburg,
against 28 cents now. The Pittsburg
consumer paid $7 freight upon every
100 pounds of dry goods brought from
Philadelphia, which 100 pounds is now
hauled in two days at a cost of 14 cents.
New York Times.
Dark Continent Wonders.?A traveler
who has just returned from an expedition
through Central Africa,gives a vivid
description of the horrors of the Kalahart
desert, in which, he says, it would be
quite impossible for any one to live, were
it not for the existence of the "sauna," or
wild watermelon, which grows in profusion,
and affords food and drink to both
man and beast. The author suggests that
the introduction of the "sama" would render
vast tracts of worthless land in the
United States available for cattle raising.
The natives of the Kalahart region always
go provided with a stock of dried poison
bags of various kinds of snakes, and, if
bitten, they at once rub into the wound
the poison of another kind of serpent,
iirhinh nnnfrQli'/oc tVio vnnnm in tVia
IT ilV/Ull (UJ/VV/U bliv T^llVUi iu bilV
wound. Even more singular, perhaps, is
the statement that whereas by the sting of
the scorpion there is accompanied extreme
pain, swelling and some danger to life, a
native who is stung at once looks for another
scorpion and allows it to sting him,
the second sting entirely counteracting the
effect of the first.
Water as a Medicine.?Ordinary
drinking water, if taken in large quantities,
acts as a solvent and a diuretic, and
also increases the perspiration if the temperature
of the air be high. Taken in the
quantity of 1 or 2 quarts at a time, the
dilutent effect of water is often sufficient
to eliminate an excess of alcohol from the
blood, as after taking too much wine.
Another effect of large draughts of water
is to make the pulse slower and to diminish
slightly the normal temperature of
the body.
Increase of weight has been claimed as
a result of systematic water drinking on
retiring for the night. The latest researches
do not bear out this conclusion. Water
thus taken will prevent any actual loss of
weight, but it is not shown that it will do
anything more. With the addition of a
moderate stimulant, however, it has often
adecidely fattening effect?Harper'sMagazine.
J6T Each little blade of grass builds itself

that govern the universe. The lark rises

in opposition to the train of motives
claims' desires, and ambitions that are the
natural inheritance of the world.?Miss C.

THE DARKEST HOUR.
For a period of four years I've been a victim of a
very severe and agonizing case of Salt Rheum, which
affected my hands to such an extent that they almost
became a burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying, compelling
me to keep it covered all the time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations,
but instead of benefitting my condition, they all
seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the
miserable disease, until I had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, the "darkest hour is just before
dny," and I am rejoiced to know that a positive cure
lias been found, which is known as B. B. B.?Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice nt Its magical curative powers
in giving me relief. My hand lias been cured and
resembles a burntsurface after being healed over, more
than anything else. It has also cured my two children
of a loathegoruc form of Itch which had resisted
all previous treatment. I refer to any business house

FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES.
For two years I have been confined to lied with a
loathsome form of Blood Poison, which had about eaten
me up, and 1 and others had no hope of a recovery.
For a while I could neither walk, sit down, nor He
down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to be falling
oil'my bones in pieces as big ns a lien egg. My appetite
was lost, my bones ached and pained me, and
friends even shunned me. I used various blood pu
rifiers without uenefit, and several physicians treated
me until large sums qf money had been expended, but
not one particle of good did nny one give me.
On the 19th of February, 188G, Mr. F. R. Jackson
called to see If 1 was not dead, as it was thought I
could not endure my suffering much longer. He
concluded to try B. B. B. on me and got a bottle from
Mr. Brocklngton, at Beaufort, S. C., and before one
bottle had been used I commenced gaining strength,
my appetite improved, sores commenced healing and
when two bottles had been used I was on iny feet and

THE SHOT GUN.
The Shot Gun is known as the "New Baker,"
and will bo made under the direct supervision
of Mr. W. H. Bakeh, who has had much experience
in the manufacture of shot guns. In
snooting ana wearing iiuanwca no ^u?1?.n,voc
that it shall be equal to any gun made in this
country or in Kurope. The barrels will be of
the best English stub-twist, the right modified
choke and the left full choke, thus well adapting
the gun for shooting birds on the wing, or
squirrels. The barrels will be 30 inches in
length, and the entire weight of the gun 74
pounds. It will have all the latest improvements,
including extension rib, checkered pistol
grip stock, rubber butt-plate, low circular
hammers, solid strikers, rebounding locks, top
snap-action and compensating fore end, which
takes up all wear in thehinge-joint, preventing
the gun from becoming loose and shakj'. The
manufacturers claim that the "New Baker" is
the most symmetrical, the best balanced and
neatest looking gun of its class ever before offered
to the public at the price.

THE CYCLONE EXTINGUISHER.
Tirzaii, S. C., March 10,1887.
Messrs. Jeffervs & Hoke, Gents:
THE Cyclone Spark Extinguisher put on my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my ginhouse
several times caught tire from sparks, so
I had to quit running while the wind was blowing
in tho direction of the gin-house. Now I
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
which way the wind blows. Haven'tscen a live
spark from the engine since I have been using it.
And another good tbingaboufrit is, it can't wear
or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. I
think it a great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. I think you ought to reduce
the present high rate of insurance on gin-houses
where these extinguishers are used on the engines,
or, at least; recommend such to the companies
you represent, because I see no risk
whatever from the engine.
Very respectfully,
Henry massey.

ELASTIC GUN WADDING.
THE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the onlv ncrfeetlv safe wad din or
for choke-bore breech-loading shot guns. By
the use of this wad the recoil of a gun is les3
sened, the distribution of theshot is more regu>
lar, and the range and penetration are greater.
Q Another advantage is that the gun is kept
, cleaner than when any othgr wad is used. Try
3 them. They are put up in boxes holding 256
wads and are made in two grades. The price for
1 the first grade is forty cents per box ; the sec{
ond grade twenty-five cents. The first grade
r should be used over the powder?the second
! grade over the shot. The first-grade wads are
3 from one-half to three-eights of an inch in
r thickness, which makes them cheaper than any
other wad in the market, as only one of the
first-grade wads is necessary on the powder,
and one of the second-grade over the shot, to
" give the best results. If you use a 12 gauge
i gun with brass shells, buy No. 9 wads. For
paper shells use No. 11 waas. For guns of a
different gauge, for brass shells, use a wad
three sizes larger than the bore; for paper
shells, one size larger. By this means the gases
. from the powder will be perfectly confined and
the very best results obtained.
Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt
of forty cents for the first grade, and twenty fivo
cents for the second grade. Address,
