No Mo' Ashes.?There was an old
colored man pushing a whitewash cart
along Brush street, the other afternoon,
says the Detroit Free Press, when a
woman opened a chamber window and
called to him :
' Hey, you ! Do you want a job?"
"What sort of job, mum ?" he asked
as be stood at the gate.
"Carry ashes out of the cellar."
"Werry sorry, mum, but I couldn't
do dat job. I used to be in de ashes
bizness, but I'ze dun quit it. If it
was wbitewashin' or beatin' a ca'pet,
I'd be right on hand, but I doan't tech
ashes no mo'."

"Heaps de matter, ma'am. Last
job I worked on I found three knives,
/ five fo'lks, seben spoons, two towels,
and $1 in cash in the ash-heap, an'
what you dun 'spose de jedge gimme
fur it."
"I don't understand," she said.
"Why, a policeman took me into
co't, an' de jedge gimme three months
in jail." *
"He must have thought you stole
the things ?"
"Sartinly, mum?sartinly, an' dat's
why I say dat owin' to the suspishus

why didn't you tell me Farmer Laurie

Mrs. James, with considerable severity.

"Ocb, mum," replied ner man ui an
work, with a beaming smile, "O'll not
be sayin' that the craychure didn't
schlip me moind, jist fer the toime bein',
mum; but anyway, he was no
baste fer Miss Ethel, mum."
"And why not?" demanded Mrs.
James.
"Why, mum," said Patrick, shifting
his weight carelessly from one foot to
the other, "Farmer Laurie made a
great pi'nt av the craychure's bein'
'well-broke'?it was mesilf heard him
shpakin' av it. An' as fer you, mum,

Made Him a Plunger.?He has a
great deal of money, to which he is ,
deeply attached. He hates to be separated
from a dollar of it. He has a
oillr hnt ton ofereataire and undoubt- '

ed respectability. He is fond of Lis
hat, and he'd like to wear it every
day, but silk bats are expensive.
"Well, the other day, some one 1
brought twins, a boy and a girl. The '
father was sitting in the parlor when 1
somebody entered to bring the news:
"You're a father now," said some- I
body.
"Boy or girl?" asked he. J
"Both?twins." J
"Great Scott!" cried he, springing
to his feet. "Give me my silk hat. I i
might as well wear it every day now. f
What's the use trying to be econom- i
ical, anyway ?" \
He Had Travelled.?A Wind- s
ham county man, who rounded out 75 j
years of his life without ever going t
more thau 2U mnes irom ms oirm- \
plae?, was 0116 d&y answering the I
questions of a distinguished Western
Visitor, who had come on to the old ?
town from far beyond the Mississippi <
valley to learn of the childhood of his ?
father and his mother, who were born t
in Windham county. The Hartford 1
Times says the old native gave the
Westerner .iust the details the latter ,
was seeking. "And I suppose you ,
have always lived around here?" said ,
the man from beyond the Mississippi. ,
"Oh, no," replied the native; "I was ,
born two miles from here!"
P?* He was an itinerant preacher, ,
and as his uplifted voice of warning J
attracted round him the usual crowd of ,
loiterers, he proceeded to give forth ]
the subject of his discourse. "Darkness
covered the land, and gross darkness
the people," "My brethren," he *
said, "you all know what darkness is. '
It is closing in upon us at the present
moment. But you do not realize the '
meaning of gross darkness. Darkness
covered the land, and gross darkness
the people. A gross is a dozen dozen,
and 12 times 12 is 144; therefore, if |
the land ,vas dark, the people were |
enshrouded in a darkness 144 times |
deeper than the land." I

S?T Recently Captain Mason, of Way (
Key, Fla., was standing on the porch t
of his hotel, when an elderly lady
came out of the buildine. The rain 1
had been falling and consequently the
middle of the street was wet. "I ]
should like to get across there without ,
wetting my feet," said the lady. "I
can help you across," the captain re- <
spouded. "Oh, dear ! I shall feel so ,
much obliged to you," the lady said :
"my feet have not been wet for 20
years." "For heaven's sake, madam," '
said the captain, "dou't show tlietu to '
me." 1

SAWDUST OX THE FARM
The value of saw Oust on the farm, to
tot as au absorbent of the liquid elenents
of manure exposed to moisture,
md to supply dry bedding and walks
ibout stables and barns, does not yet
ippear to be sufficiently appreciated,
rhe best element of all manure is
litrogen. But as commonly managed, 1
t large part of this most important 1
tern is allowed to run to waste in Che
vater that runs away from the stables,
>r that is evaporated after a rainfall. 1
farmers generally make no attempt to |
etain it, or prevent this serious loss. i

he stables and manure yard is the
me cheap and simple remedy for this
vaste. There is no better absorbent
naterial within our reach, or one that
nakes a clener, dryer bed for any atimal.
It is not that it possesses any
uanurial value of consequence within '
t self, that makes sawdust so useful to
he farmer; but because it is so good 1
is an absorbent, and makes such nice, !
Iry beds and walks; With this there
leed never be a bit of mud about a
table yard.
Sawdust is an article which, wet it 1
is much as you please, and it never
vill become mud. In most parts of
he country it may be had for the askng.
It is light, easily handled and is
tlways cleanly. When one part in a (
itable gets foul there is no difficulty in
eparating it from the rest. After use 1
mce, it may be exposed to the sun and 1
lave the water evaporated from it
vithout losing the valuable salts that !
lave beeu absorbed, and so it can be
ised over and over again for the same !

But this article, according to Prof. !

VALUE OF DEEP BREATHING.?Deep
reathing and holding the breath is an
:em of importance. Persons of weak f
itality find an uninterrupted succesion
of deep aud rapid respiration so '<
istressitig that they are discouraged <
rom persevering in the exercise. Let <
uch persous take into the lungs as <
tuck air as they can take at a breath, 1
nd hold it as long as they can. They I
rill find a grateful sense of relief in s
he whole abdominal region. Practice i
rill increase the ability to hold the i
reath and the capacity of the lungs. <
"his is done by taking and holding 1
lie long breath and then forcing more 1
ir down the trachea by swallows of i
jr. The operation may be described i
y that of a fish's mouth in water. To i
hose who have never learned it, it will i
e surprising to what an extent the
uugs may be packed. Caution at firsti
needful; but later practice will war- 1

According to a conservative estimate
by the e.liior of "Hardware,"
this year's product of the bicycle factories
of the United States will amount
to something like -100,000 wheels, and
withal the trade has suffered from a
positive inability on the part of manufacturers
to supply the unparalleled
demand. With the many new firms
contemplating entry upon this seductive
business, and the material enlargement
of existing factories, next year's
supply of wheels should reach the
enormous number of 700,000, excluding
the number which may be expected
to be sent to these shores from
every land with an intelligent manufacturing
population. Notwithstanding
this large prospective supply,
"Hardware" ventures to prophecy that
the end of the season of 1890 will find
very few wheels in the hands of sellers
or nroducers to carry over into 1897.
If any proof he needed to show that
cycling has ceased to he a mere fad or
sport, and has become established as a
new method of human locomotion
which is destined to become almost
universal, the figures cited ahove
should be all sufficient evidence of that
fact.
The Census.?Two millions of dollars
and one year of time, at the least,
could have been saved in taking the
last census, Colonel Carroll D. Wright,
the present superintendent of the
census, says, in his annual report,
'after a most careful consideration
and examination of the conditions,
with a more scientifically arranged
system, aud the employment of a
force drawn from the civil service
lists." However, as it is. Colonel
Wright hopes to have all the work
:lcme before the first of Jauuary next,
which will be two years less time than
it took to complete the census of 1880.
The total cost of the census of 1890 up
to July 29, has been $10,531,141, of
which 8604,153 went for priuting.
There are to be in all, 25 volumes of
jensus reports, involving 22,000 pages.
There are now 16,522 pages of this
whole number plated and finished.
Seventeen volumes are out of the
hands of the cenaus force. Nine of
these have been issued and distributed.
Eight others are complete ; but
not issued.
Explanation of a Passport.?A
passport is a license to travel, and also
i safe conductor, or warrant of protection.
By means of it monarchs or govjrnments
restrain the entrance of for?iguers
into their dominions, or the exit
?f their subjects from their territories,
ind also endeavor to secure the safety
ind freedom of their subjects while
traveling abroad. Passports are of very
indent date, and the first on record
was mentioned by Balzac as having
">eeu given by the Roman Emperor
Julius Ciesar to a philosopher. It was
n the terms following, namely : "If
there be any one, on land or sea, hardy
mough to molest Potamou, let him
consider whether he be strong enough
r\ wnorp yvhv with fipsnr " Th^ SVSt.P!T\
aecame very oppressive in Europe at
;he end of the Eighteenth century, and
still remains so as far as Russia is concerned.
In all European countries,
save the United Kingdom, passports
still continue to exist.
fIt appears that, after all, the
sleep sluggard is a very rare being,
rhe man who does intellectual work
tnd exhibits what his friends think a
lisposition to oversleep is merely
)beying a healthy instinct. The popular
notion that a man who works
vith his head, yet sleeps ior nine
lours, is a sluggard, is popular nonsense.
No one whose brain is active
ind who does not drink ever sleeps
nore than is good for him. Sleep is a
lellght till you have had enough of it,
jut five miuutfs beyond that point it
becomes a bore. Nobody sleeps twice
iround the clock, or even once, unless
mpelled by exhaustion?for which,
igain, sleep itself is the best and the
nost natural remedy.
Sci?" Caus made of paper pulp are

FROM
WALL STREET
TO
NEWGATE,
VIA
THE PRIMROSEWAY,
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, lie 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 impregnable
vaults of the Bank of 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 sintil
11 n n
LV.11LV U11U V.UilUV/4^ %*v
tempt 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 business
talent, whose deflections from
the path of honor has stirred to
its very depth the entire civilized
world.
We, the undersigned, having read the
new Bidwell book, "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
a?e 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 valuableaequisition for home
and otiice.

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 you cannot ignore 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 Mi'tt'ai. Rksekve
Fund Lin-: Association, of New York,
has been in business about 15 years and
during that time has paid more than
S22.000.000 to the beneficiaries of deceased
policy holders. It has in force
today as much insurance as the THREE
STONt JEST old line companies had when
they had reached the same age, and something
like 850,000,000 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 k
never taken advantage of a technicality,
as other companies often do. Now for a
practical illustration: Say you are 43
years of age: A So,000 life policy (pay as
long as you live) in the Insurance v
Company, of New York, will cost you
SlW.oO annually or S3,010 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 Sso.lO annually, or Si,722 in twenty
years. We will he 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.
