THE HOMEBOUND HOST.
Tho round of a host advancing,

And Ibrvnf tbp uvcnlns lamp.

Of the clear electric light.

Not to the clamor of biicles.

And thrills along tho line.

Tho patter of tiny footfalls
That run to an open door,
Tho mother's lender dinging,
HerMepon tho nursery lloor;
3Ti boyish shout of welcome.
Tho girlish rlpplo of glee,
At the click In tho guarded jmrtal
Of the homebound fathcr'H key
Thu Is tho army's music:
Cheerily calls good-nlgbt
Tho merry volco of tho comrado
As ho possw out of sight
Into tho heart of tho household
U'heu the day's long nork Is done,
And ivlfo and bairns nro waiting
With a kU.i for their dearest ono.
Under tho windy flicker
And (laro of tho evening lamp

With stonily and rcsoluto tramp
A host of tho strong and gcntlo,
A throng of tho liravo and truo,
Dear llttlo wives and mothers,

"Kino Curo" Tor Consumptive.
Tho odor of cows and cow stables ia
thought to have a curative effect upon
consumptives. A hospital for this "kino
curo" is alout to bu oxncd nt lleinick
endorf, near Berlin. Tho sanatorium
proper consists of a vast circular build

hundred cows will bo kept, and tho odor
of the stables bo conducted to tho rooms
in tho upper stories. In tho center of
tho building is a largo yard, for which a
whey cure, bathing establishments, etc.,
nro planned. Tho surplus of tho dairy
products is to Imj disposed of to tho public

I recently met a gentleman of high ed
ucational attainments, who stated that,
in bIx years' resilience in tho East Indies,
ho had known of threo severe cases of
hydrophobia, and that each case was
permanently cured. Tho means used
was to take thu patient to a pool or
t ream of water, plunge him in and al
low him to just about drown and then
resmcitato him him. In each caso, as
before stated, a permanent curo was
effected. - "W. T. G." in Scientific

How Clowns "Miihn Up."
How do clowns make up their faceal
I will tell you. They take oxide-chloride
of bismuth, which they mix with greafie,
rub upon their hands mill tho composl
tion is thorough, when it is put upon tho
facu like the burned cork of tho negro
minstrel. After that, comnon chalk,
carefully dried, is laid on a second coat.
Tho chalk adheres to tho greasy skin, and
tho face is soon very thoroughly whitened.

CAPTURING A SWORDFISH.
A Vicious Slonstcr, Ilolnr; Wounded
I'lerces n Itlock Inland Host.
A man stands on a little platform in
front of tho bow armed with n harpoon
having a sharply nnd deeply barbed
point, so that in piercing tho fish, if it
goes in far enough, it cannot bo easily
got out, let the fish be as ugly as ho may.
Tho iron is so arranged, in connection
witli n ole and cord, that tho cord can
le detached from the linitKxm, the polo
pulled back, and the harwon left firmly
fixed in the now maddened fish tho
line, a very strong rope, UOO feet long,
being fast to the iron and the other end
secure on tlio vessel. This end is imme
diately fastened securely to an empty
barrel, which is then thrown overboard,
and it marks tho course and position of
tho enraged fish.
It also enables tho vessel to send out a
life boat to haul iu, tire out and, if pos
sible, capture the ugly fellow. And ugly
ho is. if he is a young fish. If ho is old
and heavy, ho is much quieter even
wiili a harpoon in him. It is tho
younger, livelier fellows that are so full
of ugly courage that attack and kill
whales, and attack, indeed, pretty much
everything in the ocean, unless it may
bo the sea serpent and the devil fish.
That they will attack a man, even a
bather, who is in water not over his head,
and kill him, too. uuIcms he can inalco
wonderful time in getting into shallower
water, was proved a few years ago in tho
case of a young Catholic priest who was
attacked w hilo bathing on the California
shore, in water just above his hips; ho
was fearfully gashed and nearly killed
lx;fore he could get ashore. Sometimes,
iu its fury at being harjiooned. it rushes
at the small boat and thrusts its ugly
sword up through tho Iwat's bottom.
Woo to the man it hits!
Our hnrpooner fastened to a fish that
was secured, ns it happened, with littlo
trouble, though the harpoon only pene
trated a llttlo way into his big carcass.
Ho proved to be 10 feet 5 inches long,
and weighed undoubtedly -liO pounds.
Much larger ones have been caught, but
rarely. Wo also secured two others, not
bo large. And it was with tho second
ono that there was an exciting time. Il6
proved to bo "a young man" among his
fellows, and an ugly young fellow, too.
Having him well harpooned, and tho
barrel going dancing at n great rato
against the wind for it is a curious and
hitherto unrelated fact that a swordfish,
when harpooned, always rushes off to
windward the life lxat put out to securo
him after duly "playing" him. In it
went a Block Islander lelonging to tho
vessel, nnd two courageous passengers.
By tho time they reached tho barrel, they
were a mile from tho vessel, and could
bo seen, with a glass, pulling in on tho
lino.
They worked tho fish a good while.
When a swordfish, finding himself har
pooned and hopelessly held, really gives
up tho fight, ho suddenly turns and goes
to leeward. The men at tho lino under
stand what that movement means. They
were still "playing" this fellow, nnd ex
hausting him, when, having several
times had him hauled iu close to tho
, boat, so that his blue llguro was dis
, tinctly visible, and as often permitted
him lo go 100 feet off or more, some;
, tiling happened which caused the captain
of tho steam yacht a nulo off, looking
through his glass! to exclaim: "They're
iu troublol ho has struck tho boat!"
and to order an instant start for them.
Ho was none too soon. Tho enraged
llsh, withdrawing bonio sixty feet, had
made ono of those arrowliko rushes upon
the boat, which can be equaled iu its
j velocity by no other llsh in tho sea. The
sword pierced the bottom of tho boat a
littlo one side of the keel, near tho center
j coining up nearly two feet. Fortu
nately men havo learned ero now not to
sit down in a boat engaged in hauling in
a swordtlsh. By standing (as well ns
they can) their feet present a smaller
' surface, nnd hence a diminished chaneo
' of being hit. Last year ono man's loot
heel was partly hit, knocking him head
long. i In tho present instance ono of tho men
had a narrow escape of hardly ten inches.
But tho men wore saved. Indeed, the
' boat, Iwing a shell lifeboat, would hardly
havo sunk, although it was already half
full of water and tho men hard at work
baling when tho steam yacht reached
them. The vicious llsh was repeatedly
lanced through tho head and neck till ho
got comparatively quiet, when, in haul
ing him up (lie side, with tho harpoon
' purchase at tho shoulder and thu long
1 grappling hook at the tail, a slipknot was
successfully got over his wide forked tail
I nnd then wo had him. But for this
last grip ho would havo turned tho boat
over. But tho way ho lashed tho sea
1 with that tail was a caution. Hartford
Times.

"So many cures for have Ihmjii advo
