Ben Ridgely, a Louisville, Ky., newspaper man, who, for, the first twenty years of his life, had been accustomed to feeding on champagne and diamond back terrapin, has for the past; twenty years been having a catoh-as-catcb-can wrestling match with the usual boarding-house spread, and is still alive but weak. One day, early in the spring, he went to his landlady with a complaint. "Madam, " he said, with a denu-semi-quaver in his voice, and a piece of wetness in each eye about as big as a buckshot, "haven't I been a pretty good boarder for the two years have been -"ith you!" "Why, Mr. Ridgely, of course you have. Only yesterday a lady asked me how long you had been a member of the Young Men's Christian association," replied the lady in surprise. ' j "Yes, and when, you gave us eggs with feathers on, did I ever kickf "Wha what's thatf stammered the woman, thrown off her balance by the sud denness of the blow. "And did I ever Insist on your clipping their wings?" j , "Sir, I don't-" "And didn't I keep right on, even though you let the butter wear its hair banged, when you knew I hated bangs?" "Mr. Ridgely, this is going too" "And did I complain, when I found a but ton in my pie, because there wasn't any but tonhole in the flap?" "Sir, J won't stand this any -n "And did I report you to the Society of Prevention of Cruelty when I picked that poor, helpless cockroach out of the biscuit?" "Shut up, you" "Yes, and ' when I found a minnow in the milk, did I ask you whether you milked your cow with a fishing pole or a seine?" "Wha wha wha " - "Don't mention it, madam. When the steak was a little tough, was I one of the boarders who sent a buzz-saw and a steam engine up toj the house?" "I I I" "And did ever object to paying for furni ture repairs, because the bread was so heavy that when I swallowed it, it knocked the bot tom of the ekair out f "You mean, good for nothing " "Don't get excited, madam. Did lever Inquire whether you drew your tea with a windlass or a chain pumpf "Oh, you villain, you wretch, you "I hear you, madam, and I want to ask if I ever reflected on your molasses can by ask ing if you had a patent on that fly trap?" "Oh oh oh you oh " "I ask, madam, did I ever do any of these things? And I answer by saying," Never, no never. Therefore I want to know why in thunder, excuse my forcible language, please, when they bring me a plate of soup vith a dishrag in it, they don't bring along a pair of scissors to cut the darned thing up so a rnan won't choke on it That's all, madam." When the lady was resuscitated, Ben was compelled to go out into the cold, cold world and fret another boarding-house. Such is woman's inhumanity to man. Death to Prairie Dos and Ants. Leadville Cor. Dallas Herald-. ' Some three years ago, while making a trip across tlie continental divide, 1 stopped for dinner at a road-side tavern, situated in a creek valley; close at hand was a prairie dog town, numbering over 500 inhabitants, Not long I since, I had occasion to stop at the same house, and saw that the small level prairie, once occupied by prairie dogs, had been inclose plowed, and was then cov ered with a luxuriant crop of grass. Seeing no signs of the little beasts, upon asking what had become of them, I was told they had been exterminated in the f ollowing way : Balls of 'cotton or rags were saturated with bi-sulphide of carbon an impure preparation will do and is cheap pushed far down into the holes, and the holes firmly packed with earth. Bi-sulphide of carbon being an ex tremely volatile fluid, quickly evaporates and forms a heavy gas, which occupies every chamber and gallery of the animal's dwelling. This gas is as promptly fatal to animal life as the fumes of burning sulphur or carbolic acid gas. j My informant also destroyed in a similar way several colonies of large " ants, of the same species as those found in Texas. He built a fire close to the ant-bed, shoveled the earth forming the antrhill into the fire, so as to burn up the ants contained in it with their young, then scraped the surface of the ground clean, and waited a while to give the ants a chance to clear the tunnels from any earth that may have dropped into them. A ball of cotton saturated with bi-sulphide of carbon was placed in the center of the bed, covered over with a tin vessel large enough to embrace the greater number, if not all the outlets, and earth was packed about the tin, so as to exclude air. JNext day tne tin was removed. He showed me the sites of several beds In his yard where the ants had been killed in this manner. Since then, while in Colorado Springs, I was told this plan - has been successfully used in California for number of years; it was used for the exter mination of gophers, yellow-jackets, and all ther burrowing animals and insects. Chased br a Spider. Gentleman's Magazine. lhe king of tne spiders on tlie pampas is not a Mygale, out a Lycosa of extraor dinary size, light gray m color, with black ring around its middle. It is active and swift, and irritable to such a degree that one can scarcely help thinking that in this species nature has overshot her mark. Wheu a person passes near one, say within three or lour yards of Its lurking-place, it starts up and gives chase, and will often follow for a distance of thirty or forty yards. 1 came once very nearly being bit ten bv one of these savage creatures. Rid ing at an easy trot over the dry grass, suddenly observed a spider pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and keeping up with my beast I aimed a blow with my whip, and the point of the lash 6truck the ground close to it, when it instantly leaped upon and ran up the lash, and was actually within three or four inches of my hand when I fiuBff the whip from me. The srauchos have a verv Quaint ballad which tells that the city of Cordova was once in vaded by an army of monstrous spiders. and that the townspeople went out. with beating drums and flags flying, to repe the invasion, and after firing several vol levs thev were forced to turn and fly for their lives. I have no daubt that a sudden Increase of the man-chasing spiders, in i year exceptionally favoraole to them, sug gested this fable to some rhyming satirist of the town. That Husband of Mine. New York Sun. A woman hastily entered a Harlem lager beer saloon and demanded of the proprietor "Has my husband been in here?" "Idon't know him. Is he a tall manP "Yes." "Red-headedr "Yes, and red complected. "Full beard?" "Yes." "Wear a slouch hatr, . "Yes." "He was here not five minutes ,aga He came in, drank a lemonade, and then walked down the street." "Drank what?" "Lemonade." "Wrong mttal" she said, shooting herself out ox the door. THE TROUBLE SAFELY OVES.

Breaking Bridges by Vibration, In answer to the question, "Is it true that the marching of a body of soldiers. in regular military 8tep, has been known o cause the falling of a bridge?" The Manufacturer and Builder has the fol- owing: The statement is substantiated y the strongest kind of evidence. We believe that it is a rule observed by marching armies, when thev ... cross a bridge, to stop the music, break step and open column, lest the measured cadence or a condensed body of men should cause the bridge to vibrate so greatly as to endanger its stability or to cause it to fall. Numerous instances of accidents caused by the neglect of this rule are re corded. For example, the Broughton bridge, near Manchester, gave way be neath the measured tread of only sixty men who were marching over it. A chain bridge, crossing the River Dor- dogne near Bordeaux, about the rear 1850, gave way from a similar cause. lhe terrible disaster which befell a battalion of French troops a few years since while in the act of crossing the sus pension bridge at Angiers, in Trance, is one of the most convincing evidences of the extreme danger from the cause here named. The facts, as recorded, are as follows: "Reiterated warnings were given to the troops to break into sections, as is usually done. But the rain was falling heavily, and in the hurry of the moment the orders were disregarded. The bridge, which was only 12 year3 old, and which had been repaired the year before at a cost of $7,000, fell, and 280 dead bodies were found, besides many who were wounded." A bridge, or similar structure, may be crowded with people going and coming, with cavalry or with cattle, with in finitely less danger than with the far less weight of a body of men going over it m regular marching order. In the latter case the structure is set into vibration, which every step that is taken adds to, until the swing becomes so violent that it may overcome its powers of re sistance and cause it to give way at its weakest point. In the former case a multitude of vibrations are set up in the structure, but being irregular that is, non-synchronous one is neutralized by another and no effect is produced. it has often been noted as a singular fact that large trees have been uprooted by wind storms of no unusual violence, which have withstood much more violent gales. An explanation of this mystery which appears to us to be very plausi ble, may be found in the facts above de tailed, lhe wind in powerful gales rre quently comes in gusts, which cause the tree to swing, and if these gusts happen to be so timed as to coincide with the natural swing of the tree each, successive impulse swings it more powerfully, until at lensrth.it is UDrooted bv a wind which. had it blown steadily, wouldjiay lone it no uamage. p "Cornell's Mummy Speaks. Chicago News. President White was slowly unwrap ping the Egyptian mummy recently ac quired by Cornell university. Oh, could we but know what those sightless eyes have seen, what those tune-dried ears have heard!" "Or what that silent tongue has said," put in a sophomore. ies," continued rresident White, "I should like to know how this grim visi tor from the dingy past worked out his livelihood. Oh, could those palsied lips but speak the words that were perhaps struggling for utterance the moment he gave up his spirit!" "Perhaps we might get them out with a corkscrew," suggested a freshman. "Nonsense," remarked the president. "But all scientific experiments are nonsense until they succeed," said a member of the faculty. "Trael" "Let us try." The students had no trouble in finding corkscrews. The first jerk brought out the words "your honor." "Ah, this reference to honor shows that he died in a chlvalric cause," said the president. - "Perhaps he was addressing hissing, whoso honor he had valiantly defended to the death," said the stroke-oar of the ancient history class. "Perhaps. Let's draw once more." The corkscrew was applied again and again, and a number of words ex humed. When spread out on the table in the order of their discovery these words were: "Your honor, the defense asks another continuance." matrimonial Intelligence. Texas Sittings.

Many persons when they come to settle up with their druggist, think they have been buying "ergotinin. BAFFLED! One of the Host Unaccountable and Dangerous of Beeent Deeeits Discovered and Exposed, There is some mysterious trouble that is attacking nearly every one in the land with more or less violence. It seems to steal into the body like a thief in the night. Doctors cannot diagnose it. Scientists are puzzled by its symptoms. It is, Indeed, a modern mystery. Like those severe and vague maladies tnat attacK norses ana rostrate nearly all the animals in the and, this subtle trouble seems to menace mankind. Many of the victims have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A strange, sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite Is poor. There, is a feeling like a heavy load upon the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation is felt at the pit of the stomach, which feod does not satisfy. The eyes grow sunken, the hands and feet feel clammy at one time and burn intensely at others. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is at tended with a greyish-colored expectora tion. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does net seem to afford any rest. He becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a peculiar whirling sensation in the head when rising up sud denly. The bowels become costive, and then, again, outflux intensely; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood grows thick and stagnant: the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, depositing a sed iment after standing. There is frr quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweet ish taste; this is often attended with pal pitation of the heart, The vision becomes impaired, with soots before the eyes; there is a feeling of prostration and great weak ness. Most of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one third of our population have this disorder in some ot its varied xorms, wnue meaicai men have almost wholly mistaken its na ture. Some have treated it for one com plaint; some for another, but nearly all nave failed to reacn tne seat oi tne elisor der. Indeed, many physicians are afflicted witn it themselves, ine experience or nr. A. G. Richards, residing at 468 Tremont street, Boston, is thus described by mm self: "I had all those neeuliar and nainful symptoms which I have found afflicting so many of my patients, and which had so often baffled me. I knew all the commonly established remedies would be unavailing for I had tried them often in the past. I therefore determined to strike out in a new path. To my intense satisfaction I found that I was improving, lhe dull, stupid feeling departed and I began to en iov life once more. Mv aDDetite ieturned. My sleep was refreshing. The color of my face, which had been a sickly yellow, grad ually assumed the pink tinge ot heal in. in the course of three weeks I felt like a new man and know that it was wholly owing to tne wonderful emcacy or v arner s lip- pecanoe The Best, which was all the mtd- icine 1 took. Doctors and scientists often exhaust -their kill and the patient dies. They try everything that has been used by, or Is known to tne profession, and tnen fail Even if they save the life it is often after great and prolonged agony. Where all this can be avoided by precaution and care, how insane a thing it is to endure such suffering! With a pure and palatable preparation within reach, to neglect its use is simply inexcusable.
