^tumorous Department. On The Fence.?In a New York town which has. a colony of colored people, one big darkey was one day employed in setting out shrubs on the lawn of a handsome estate. The master of the house was nowhere to be seen, and a number of the gardener's friends were leaning comfortably ou the fence watching the operations. Another darkey, driver for a physician living next door, looked curiously at this row of spectators, and then addressed the doctor, who was just getting into his buggy. "Doctor Wilson," he said, solemnly, "dere's somebody dead at Massa Jones's, sartiu sure." "Dead !" echoed the doctor ; "no such thing, Caesar. I should have heard of it if there had been any illness in the family." "Well, sab," said Caesar, pointing to the row of sable individuals hanging on the pickets, "if dere ain't nobody dead to Massa Jones's, sah, den w'at fer is all dis yer mournin' strung along de fence ?" Surprised The Lord.?The coming of the templar knights reminds the Commercial Bulletin Spicer of an incident that occurred when he was an active member of De Molay. The commandery had an outing, and the culminating point was a banquet, of course. Sir Knight Spicer had seated himself for a quiet time, when, to his horror, a messenger wmsperea in nis ear "Sir Knight Spicer, the eminent prelate is absent. Will you kindly invoke the divine blessing?" Mrs. Susan Spicer said : "Seth, you are never going to do that ?" But Seth did, and as he sat down, said to Mrs. S.: "Did not that astonish you?" And Mrs. S., with that crushing effect which all women have, said : "It did not astonish me Seth; but I think it must have astonished the Lord." WoF When, after the second battle of Bull Run, General Sickles assumed command of a division of the Army of the Potomac, he gave an elaborate farewell dinner to the officers of his old Excelsior Brigade. "Now, boys, we will have a family gathering," he said to them, as they assembled in his quarters. Pointing to the table, he continued, "Treat it as you would the enemy." As the feast ended, an Irish officer, Captain Byrnes, was discovered by Sickles in the act of stowing away three bottles of champagne in his saddle-bags. "What are you doing, sir ?" gasped the astonished general. "Obeying orders, sir," replied the nnntnin in a firm voice. "YOU told us to treat that diuder as we would the enemy, and you know, general, what we can't kill, we capture.'' P3T GrigsOn?We couldn't think of anything else to do at the club the other night, so we took a secret ballot to decide who who was the smartest man in the crowd, who was the laziest, and who was the stingiest.

Health Hints.?None of the minor "ills" is more troublesome than an ingrowing nail. By pouring hot tallow over the nail, the hardened flesh about it is shrunken and relief is immediate. When any part of the skin has been frozen, apply ice, suow or cold water. The vicinity of a fire and warm room should be avoided. If the part blisters treat it as you would a burn. A drop of cold water, placed in the lobe of the ear will put a stop to hiccough, or if this does not produce the desired effect, press firmly on the arteries of the wrist, where the pulse is felt. A growing inability to sleep in sick - _ r* _ f.i.l u . ;? ness is omiDOUS 01 u iuiui resuu; in apparent health it indicates the failure of the mind and madness; so, on the other hand, in disease or dementia, a very slight improvement in the sleeping should be hailed as the harbinger of restoration. A bad breath may be cured as follows, no matter what the cause : Three hours after breakfast a teaspoonful of the following mixture: Chlorate of potash, two drachms ; sweetened water, four ounces ; wash the mouth occasionally with the mixture, and the breath will be as sweet as an infant's. In cerebral exhaustion, active muscular exercise in reasonable amount and variety may be allowed and enjoyed ; in spinal exhaustion, relative, and in some cases absolute, rest is demanded, or only passive exercise for a shorter or a longer time, as may be, according to the special peculiarities of the individual. A correspondent of The Lancet says: "A few years ago, when in China, I became acquainted with the fact of the natives, when suffering with facial neuralgia, using oil of peppermint, which they lightly applied to the seat of pain with a camel-hair pencil. Since then, in my own practice, I frequently employ this oil as a local anmsthetic, not only in neuralgia, but also in gout, with remarkably good results.?Health and Home. The Effect of Pulling Fodder.-Stripping the leaves from the standing stalks of corn while in their best green condition, is quite a common practice in some sections of the country. When properly cured and bound in bundles, they make excellent winter fodder, and it is generally considered that the pulling of the leaves cause no decrease in production of grain. To test the question of loss or gain, experiments were u ade on 15 plats at the Georgia station. From one-half of each the leaves were stripped and the fodder carefully cured and dried. The plats from which the blades were stripped yielded 23.9 bushels of shelled corn per acre. The unstripped plat gave a yield of 27.3 bushels per acre, a loss of 3.4 bushels as the result of pulling the fodder. But the yield of fodder was 270 pounds per acre; at a cost for pulling and curing of 81 cents. In other words, there was a loss equal to 190.4 pounds of corn and a gain of 270 pounds of fodder. From the above and a similar trail preceding it, the conclusion is reached that the strongest argument against the practice is the meager results in fodder compared with the amount ol labor involved. ine same laoor employed in mowing grass or any other good forage crops, even without the use of improved harvestiug machinery, would yield vastly greater reresults. In Case of Accident.?If a fishbone becomes lodged in the throat, it can generally be removed by swallowing a raw egg at once. Glycerine, with a few drops of carbolic acid added, makes a good lotion for slight cuts and abrasions of the skin. In case of swallowing poisons accidentally, the ? first step is to secure vomiting. A mustard emetic is usually the most efficacious. A heaping teaspoonful of the ordinary ground mustard mixed in water, is about the right quantity. If mustard fails to act, try a teaspoonful of water. It used to be customary to administer castor oil when a person swallowed anything with sharp edges, as bits of glass or china, but recent writers advise that articles of food be given iu-1 stead, which will cling about the fragments, and so protect the bowel walls as the whole mass moves downward. Potatoes are the best for this purpose. The individual should be fed on them for two or three days. The potatoes mnv hp. nnnkad in a varial.v of wuvs? baked, boiled, fried or creamed. Bathing.?Many people are iu the habit of dabbling a great deal in bath tubs filled with fresh water, during the heated term. This is injurious. Sponge bathing, in the majority of cases, would effect the cooling and refreshing purposes intended and cleanse the pores just as well. Nature evidently intends man shall bathe frequently iu summer. In winter, if one is not engaged in particularly dusty or dirty pursuits, a bath all over once, twice, or perhaps three times a week, should be nlentv. Cold baths are best for the strong aud vigorous ; but the weaker ones, who begin with tepid bathing water, should end each bath with a dash of water as cold as the system will bear. A good friction with a coarse towel, supplemented with a hard rub down, or perhaps a little bay rum or alcohol rubbed in after the coldest bath, will restore healthy action and bring a glow to the surface, causiug the whole body to feel invigorated.?New York Telegram. J?* The animals intended especially for breeding purposes should be fed in a manner different from those that are being fatted for. market. A very fat animal is not stptable for breeding, aud many valuable mares, cows, sows, and ewes that are -.very high in flesh, V \ v a \ either die in giving binli to their young or fuil to produce vigorous offspring. The ninny cuses of milk fever which occur ainoug cows and ewes may often be traced to the use of too much concentrated food and a lack of judgment in feeding. Musquitoes and Rats.?If a bottle of oil of pennyroyal is left uncorked in a room at night, not a mosquito or any other bloodsucker will be found there in the morning. Mix potash with cornmeal and throw it into the rat holes of a cellar or barn, and the rat will seek new quarters. If a rat or mouse guaws a hole into your pantry, stuff into its hole a rug, wet first with water, then sprinkled with cayenne pepper, and no rat or mouse will molest again. Apples as Brain Food.?Apples are now recommended by many physicians as brain food, because they contain a quantity of phosphoric acid and are easily digested. When eaten at night some little time previous to retiring, they are said to excite the action of the liver and produce sleep. 0OYAI HPT1 POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder.

FROM WALL STREET 1U NEWGATE, VIA THE PRIMROSE WAY, BY AUSTIN BIDWELL. Austin Bidwell started life as a clerk in Wall Street, and soon succumbed to the allurements of the primrose way. His first criminal venture was a trip to Europe to sell stolen bonds. After a few similar enterprises in New York, he returned to Europe with a pair of shrewd confederates and engaged in a systematic campaign of swindling the principal banks of the continent. The conspirators were so successful in this that they next laid siege to the seemingly impregi i 1. r ,1 -r> ? naDie vaults or me uanK or England, and actually succeeded in securing over ^1,000,000 by artfully executed forgeries. But retribution came at last, and this brilliant coup cost Mr. Bidwell 20 years in English prisons. The story of his experiences is told in FROM WALL STREET TO NEWGATE. It is replete with Stirring Incidents, Marvelous Adventures, Hairbreadth Escapes ) and remarkable experiences, such as few men have met with. They are narrated in an easy, picturesque style, evincing sincerity and candor, with 110 attempt at sensation or exaggeration. The truth told is stranger than fiction, and history may be challenged to produce another life into which has come so many varied and bewildering events, or to disclose another character, trained in a religious home, having: culture and an unusual busi ness talent, whose deflections from the path of honor has stirred to its very depth the entire civilized world. We, the undersigned, having road the new Bidwell hook, "From Wall Street to Newgate," believe it will benefit every one to read this marvelous history of human experience. Aside from its dramatic interest, there ate great moral lessons involved of especial interest to young men and employees in positions of trust. We, therefore, recommend this story as a unique and valuable acquisition for home and otlice. J. Pierrepont Morgan, L. J. Page, John W. Mackay, Robert A. Pinkerton, W. E. Tetl't, Philip W.

IT HAS BKKN PAID In Full, ami Before Legally Hue Umler the Pulley Contract?A Few Fact* for the lienetit of Those Who do Their Own Thinking. ON last Monday, we delivered to Mrs. M. U. Williford, as benetieiary of her late hushiiud, Mr. Wade II. Williford, of Winnshoro, S. C'.. check No. 9,858, on the National Park Bank of New York, for 82,000, which was the full amount for which Mr. Williford wiys insured in the Mutual Reserve, under policy No. 150,956, and on which he had paid 81<>.10 in premiums. Wo have the beneficiary's receipt for 82,000. We do not publish the above because we consider that there is anything remarkable about the payment of the claim; but simply for the information of certain agents of Old Line companies who have, since Mr. Williford's death, tried to convince some people in this section, that the claim would not be paid without a law suit, or if they (the Mutual Reserve) did pay it, it would be for the sake of an advertisement, etc., etc. The claim, under the written contract between the Association and Mr. Williford, was not duo until August 15; therefore it has been settled at least 20 days :? ,i,,n The next point we desire to impress is, had Mr. Williford paid one of the Old Line companies, whose agents have been so industriously slandering and misrepresenting the Mutual Reserve, the same amount in premiums as he had paid the Mutual Reserve, his beneficiary would have received $1,060 instead of $2,000. Therefore, the gain by insuring in the Mntual Reserve is $040. Possibly the old line company would have paid within 30 days ot the date of Mr. Williford's death; but we submit that even if the Mutual Reserve bad taken 12 months, the $940 additional insurance would have been very liberal compensation for the additional time. Now, as to the advertising feature, we will say that during the past 14 ygars, the Mutual Reserve has paid out over $22,500,000 in death losses, and we suppose this amount has also been paid out for advertising purposes, and that the association is now paying out about $3,000,000 a year to widows and orphans for the same reason ; which is about six times as much as some of the Old Lino company's, whose agents have been abusing it, pay out in the same length of time. We will now say a few words to the people. These agents, who have been slandering the Mutual Reserve, KNOW that it has paid every honest death claim that has been presented to it, IN FULL. They know that their companies charge more for insurance than it is worth, and in order to keep you blinded, they will slander the Mutual Reserve, tell about their companies' enormous assets; but say nothing of their liabilities, and never try to convince you that their rates are reasonable, because they know they are twice as high as safety, with economical management, requires. Every man who is insurable should insure his life for the benellt of those dependent upon him, and not as an invest ? ? d Lrt r.Ln.,ld /?a? oil fKo nrAtootmn luciii, nuu uc nuuuiu ^ci ou possible for the amount of money he can pay out each year. We can furnish gilt edge, iron clad life insurance for about 60 per cent, less than Old Line companies charge for it. Our rates are guaranteed. We would be pleased to talk with you on the subject. Send for rates. S. M. A L. GEO. GRIST, Agts. ARE YOU A THINKING MAN ? OR do you let somebody else do your studying. If you are a thinker we want you to consider a few points which we will submit. Here they are: Can you afford to go on from day to day, week to week and year to year without throwing around your wife, children or those dependent upon you, that iron clad protection which is absolutely guaranteed to them by a policy in a first-class life insurance company? If you decide that vou cannot iernore life insurance, are you using the same business sense that characterizes your daily business transactions if you place your insurance with a company that charges you twice as much for your protection as it is worth, or as another company equally as reliable will furnish it for? The Mutual Reserve Fund Like Association, of New York, has been in business about 15 years and during that time has paid more than 922,000,000 to the beneficiaries of deceased policy holders. It has in force today as much insurance as the THREE STONGESTold line companies had when they had reached the same age, and something like $50,000,000 to spare. It has more assets, as compared to liabilities than any company in the world. It has paid every honest death claim that has been presented, in full, and has never taken advantage of a technicality, as other companies often do. Now for a practical illustration: Say you are 43 years of age: A $5,000 life policy (pay as long as you live) in the Insurance Company, of New York, will cost you $180.50 annually or $3,010 in twenty years, if you live that long, in cold cash, not counting interest. The same size policy in the MUTUAL RESERVE, will cost you $80.10 annually, or $1,722 in twenty years. We will be pleased to explain our system to you and also to convince you | that any derogatory statement made by any agent of any old line company doing business in ;this section about the Mutual Reserve, is absolutely false and is inspired by his desire to sell you something you will never derive any benefit from. It ' will certainly do you no harm to learn all you can about our company and its plan , before placing your insurance. SAM M. A L. GEO. GRIST, General Agents. 1 I WANT YOUR PATRONAGE.
