IIER HUSBAND'S FRIEND.
BY LUCILLE IIOLLIS.
' "Winifred, I wish yen would dress
yourself as becomingly as possible to
night. I have promised to cali with
you upon a friend," Mr. Arlington said
to his wife, as they entered the hand
sonio dining-room of their hotel and
passed down it smiling and bowing to
their acquaintances.
''What friend, Jamsie?" Mrs. Arling
ton asked, shaking out her napkin.
"Grace llolden."
Over "Winifred Arlington's face passed
a shado of pain or .displeasure, as she
turned her searching eyes upon her
litis! md. Great gray eyes they were,
aud slightly gloomy now, as she an
swered, rather coldly:
May I ask why yon desire ine to vis
it that woman who, yon know, is an ob
ject of indifference to me?"
"I am sorry that yon take that tone,
Winifred," Mr. Arlington responded,
somewhat sternly. "Knowing that
Grace llolden is a dear friend of mine,
it seems to mo that you might care a lit
tle to cultivate her acquaintance. At all
events, she has come to live at tho St.
Cloud, and I have promised to takej-ou
there, to-night to seo her. And if you
desire to please me you will make some
effort to keep up a future polite if not a
cordial intercourse with her."
"And I am to arrange 1113' toilet with
especial care, that your 'dear friend'
1 1 t m
may oe nioveu to approval 01 your
wife" with a faint flavor of irony.
"Graeo is anxious to know and love
you; and I'm sure she will appreciate
your exquisite taste in dress," Mr. Ar
lington explained, adding, "it is very
likely that wo may meet Dennis Mitchell
there this evening."
"Miss llolden seems to be a great fa
vorite of gentlemen."
"She is -equally a favorite with wo
men, my dear, who view her with un
prejudiced eyes."
Mrs. Arlington Unshed slightly under
this rebuke to her covert disparage
ment of her husband's friend; but she
inwardly, with each word of Mr. Ar
lington's in her praise, grew less and
less inclined to bo just toward the wo
man whom she believed he must once
have dearly loved. If there was any one
disagreeably prominent fault that Wini
fred Arlington possessed, it was jeal
ousy ; but she was too sensible and con
ventionally self-controlled to allow this
passion to often sway her; only in re
gard to her husband, whom she adored,
was she unable to curb this tormenting
demon. She hail met and become en
gaged to Mr. Arlington in France. Two
years afterward, when she returned to
her home, to prepare for her marriage,
she had heard of her betroth's inti
macy with this Grace llolden. To her
question concerning the lady, ho had
answered:
"I have known her almost a lifetime,
aud think her one of tho sweetest wo
men on earth."
Instantly Winifred's jealous love re
sented such praise awarded to another
woman by the man who was to make
her his wife, and this feeling was inten
sified when the two met, briefly, at
Winifred's wedding, aud tho bride dis
covered that Grace was wondrously
lovely, and noted the almost reverential
devotion with which tho bridegroom
bent over her little white-frloved hand.
Mrs. Arlington was clad that before
her return from her wedding tour Miss
llolden had left town for two years of
travel abroad ; and now the first disturb
ing element of her married happiness
arose with this jealous displeasure that
thela.iy had again taken up her abode
in the same city.
It had scarcely neede 1 Mr. Arlidgton's
expressed desire that his wife should
make her toilet this evening with espe
cial care. Not only was Winifred a true
artist in regard to dress, but her wo
man's instinct prompted her to look
as elegant as possible in the presence
of the one whom the secretly regarded
as a sort of rival. Certainly she was
admirable iu every detail of her cos
tume, when she sunk back gracefully in
one of the satin chairs of the haudsomo
hotel jiarlor to await the entrance of
Grace Holden
Moreover, she knew the prevailing
rosy hue of the room set off to advant
age her colorless olive complexion, and
that her posture expressed just the atti
tude she meant to assume with Grace
a degree of indifferent condescension.
But, when Grace came swiftly, lightly
along the velvet-covered corridor, and
into tho salon her tiny, slight figure
draped in a trail of white grenadine,
with dainty lavender bows deftly dis
posed about her costume and holding
fast her magnificent yellow hair that
wa.s braided down her back there was
an easy grace in her manners that en
tirely disregarded any perceptible hau
teur on her guest's part and sustained
her as mistress of the situation.
"Good-evening to you both," she
said, smilingly, as she advanced, "and
especially to you, my dear Mrs. Arling
ton. I am very glad to meet you. It
was very nice of Mr. Arlington to
bring you. I told him this morning
that I should be sorely displeased if he
failed to do so, for I have felt rather
guilty that I have been here nearly two
weeks without sending him earlier" word
of my return, and giving you an oppor
tunity to come;" and she chatted pleas
antly on until Dennis Mitchell joined
the group.
Then, too, she brightly led the con
versation, proving herself a charmingly
entertaining hostess, cleverly engaging
tho elegant but rather silent Mrs. Ar
lington in tho flow of repartee, or gra
ciously explaining to her the reminis
censes of merry times which the reunion
of herself and her two old friends
called forth.
"Cannot you help us to make a party
for tho races to-morrow afternoon ?"
asked Mr. Arlington of Grace, as they
arose to separate. "Dennis intends go
ing, and Winnie has always desired vis
iting Jerome Tark."
"Thank you, I should enjov doing so,
exceedingly; but cannot tell you defi
nitely before the morning."
"Very well. I will stop as I go up
town, and take you to lunch with us if
you can go. Try to arrange it so that
you can," ho answered.
JWhen the good nights had been said,
Winifred's rankling pain found slight
expression in her scornful voice, as she
questioned:
"And what do you think of this rath
er forward paragon of a friend of my
husband's, Mr. Mitchell ?"
The tall, handsome gentleman
glanced swiftly at his friend, and saw
the faint shadow of . pain that flitted
across Mr. Arlington's face. Nor could
he fail to understand the secret revealed
by Mrs. Arlington's tone?. But it was
not for him to make known her hus
band's past life, with which Grace llol
den stood so strangely and closely con
nected.
"I have always thought that Words
worth's lines,
' A perfect woman, nobly planned.
To waru, to comfort, and command."
might well have been written of Grace
llolden."
"But you must acknowledge," said
vinifred determined to maintain her
position alone, since her husband and
friend both stood so loyally by her ri
val's standard, "that she is far too infe
rior in physique to suggest such words
Ordinarily the lady would not have
made a remark in such ill-haste, she
herself being noticeably tall and com
manding of stature; but she was thor
oughly piqued at the admiration which
she was determined not to understand
"Perhaps you are correct in that criti
cism; it is rather surprising what a won
derfnl amount of charcter animates that
small woman," Dennis argued, laugh
ingly. lie really had always admired
Arlington s wife, and regretted sincere
ly the unpleasantness sho was feeling
towanl ner Husbands friend.
Tho next day Miss llolden was Mrs
Arlington's guest at luncheon; but tho
meeting between them would conceal
into formality despite Grace's vivacity
Here, wnere tne latter lady could as
snme her own prerogative as a hostess
When the meal was over, while Miss
llolden waited in the parlor, and Wini
fred had run rip to her room to put the
finishing toucnes to ner handsome toi
let, Mr. Arlington joined his friend.
and found her leaning her brow wearily
against a tiarK bronze upon the mantle
"Grace."
Sho turned swiftly a worn, sorrow
ful look in her violet eyes, and about
her trembling lips.
"James, is your wife going to dislike
me? Metst I always be lonely? Am I
never to havo friends?" she asked im
petuously.
It was the first time that James Ar
lincton had heard a wail from this wo
man's brave heart, and it fairly con
vulsed his features with the pain of the
wound it gave him.
"And to think that 1 am to blame for
this," he said with bitter self-reproach.
Instantly his tone, and a reckless
gleam that came into his eyes, restored
Grace to her calm self repression.
"Hush!" she answered him; "all will
como richt in time. L shall yet find
some one to love."
Winifred swept into the room.
"Here is Mr. Mitchell; and if Miss
Holden has finished her discussion of
love with my husband, we will go;" she
answered, coldly
The eloquent blood rnshed to Grace's
cheeks, but she met Mrs. Arlington's
clanee. steadily, as sne replied:
"T cannot say that any discussion
imnn that subject which Mr. Arlington
and I have had is ended, but the mere
interruption of change of place will not
interfere with it. and, summoning ;ur
Mitchell to srive him lier arm, Miss Hoi
Acn calmly went to her place in the car

Tho day was perfect, and the stand
crowded with a lasmonaoie, guy,

upon the Arlington party was, for the

races they made their way, laughing
and talking, toward their carriage

val, a sudden exclamation from Grace
startled them all.
"Good God! Stanley Arlington?"
Three faces in that group suddenly
blanched; and the stranger, who stood
as if struck dumb by this sudden en
counter, was as marble-pale as his
brother, and mend, and Miss Holden.
Grace was the first to speak again,
with almost miraculous self-possession
assuming the control of the strange
scene; though there was an awing reve-
ation of love in the way she nestled
ler gloved hand into his, saying:
You have como back to stay, btan-
ey.'"
'Then you know, ' he commenced,
hoarsely, "that I did not shout "
"1 know everything, btanley; and so
does Dennis and your brother! And all
is well!"
Thank God for that! but I shall
never feel that the stain is not on my
name, or that it is a worthy one for you
to bear, until I learn who was the crim
inal." "Hush! Stanley, do not say that. It
is enough that you have been cleared
in the eyes of the world, that Mr. Wynd
ham's wound proved very slightand
the forced check was made erood. and
that tho offender has a thousand times
expiated his sin in the sincerity of his
repentance. And 1, oh! Stanley, can
not you guess how I have suffered
waiting for you to return?"
"My precious, loyal wife." he breath
ed, with unutterable tenderness; and in
the midst of the crowd he touched his
ips reverently to her brow.
'Is it possible, exclaimed James Ar
lington, wringing his brother's hand,
'that Grace icas your wife?"
les. We were married the nicht
before I went away; I had come to tell
you so, when "
Grace put her hand over her hus
band's mouth ; but she was powerless to
prevent his brother's impetuous out
break. "Then you have the noblest woman
in God's world for a wife! and I am "
"Never mind what you are." said
Grace, commandingly; "here is your
carriage. I wonder if Mrs. Arlington
will find it in her heart to pardon this
peculiar reunion and make room for my
nusoana as wen as myself ? '
Although Winifred did not under
stand much that had transpired she was
conscious of the wrong she had done
Stanley Arlington's wife, and held out
her hand in silent apology; and Grace
placed hers within it as a seal of pardon.
But the next day that silent avowal of
understanding between the two women
was a hundred times ratified, when
Winifred Arlington walked swiftly into
her sister-in-law's room and took her in
ler arms, and kissed her passionately,
crying:
"Grace,- you are the dearest woman
in the world!"
"James has told you ?"
"Everything; Of his temiitation. and
forgery, and frenzied shot at Mr. Wynd
hani; and of Stanley's rash flight when
wrongly suspected of it all; and how
you, with Dennis Mitchell's help, nobly
saved my Husband from the conse
quences of his sins and led him toward
a new life though through him you
had lost your love. And. now. I know
that it was to save James' worse remorse
that you never sjioke of yonr marriago.
urn tirace, how can we love you
enough?"
"How, indeed?" asked James Arling
ton, following his wife into the room,
with his arm locked in that of his
brother. "I could not accept your
bearing the burden of my secret longer,
Grace. Winifred and Stanley know all;
and have forgiven all !"
"les, my darling, and, thank God,
we two men, who because of the Arling
ton traits of weakness in our blood have
made your life so long bitter and lonely,
will bo strong and worthy, henceforth,
because of tho strength wherewith you
have saved us." said Stanley, erravelv.
Grace only bowed her lovelv head in
joy deep aud unutterable, while Wini
fred whispered:
God bless you, my husband's friend."
The Value of a Nose.
Some years aco. in Scotland, two in
timate neighbors, childless women of
middle age, had each a son born on the
same night. It was a cold season, and
for greater convenience and comfort a
great fire was built in the kitchen of
only one of the two houses, and there
the mid-wives dressed tho newly-born
babes. Something distracted their at
tention and the identity of the infants
was lost. There was no alternative left
but to leave to chance the determina
tion of which was the baby boloneinc
in the house where the fire was, and ac
cordingly it was selected in a darkroom.
in which the babes were laid side by
side. The father of one of the infants
was a wealthy man with an immense Ro
man nose; the father of tho other was
poorer and had" a small pug-nose. Time
passed ; the fathers each died and the
boys grew to maturity. As they grew,
the boy assigned to the rich man's fam
ily showed symptoms of a nose pointing
pertly skyward, while the other's face
developed a huge nose, hooked like an
eagle's beak. There was no mistaking
the inference. When the Koman-nosed
boy reached maturity he brought suit
for the property left by the rich man
and now held by the pug-nosed youth.
The legal contest was bitter but brief.
The noses were brought into court by
their respective owners, and the jury
could not hesitate. The young man
with the Roman development was rein
stated in his undoubted right. It was
a Scottish cause celebre.
A Wife's Cure fob Drunkenness.
The Mancheste'r Guardian says that one
of the oddest defenses ever made by a
prisoner was offered before the Lancas
ter magistrates by a woman named Sew
ard, who had attacked her husband with
a poker, as he lay in bed, and fractured
his jaw in three places. Mrs. Seward
pleaded that she beat him thus to get
him under the doctor's care, as he was
killing himself with raw whisky. She
was committed for trial at the assizes.
COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
So Not Check Perspiration.
Nearly every one knows it is danger
ous to check perspiration quickly, and
yet many forget to practice the truth
they know. The weather has been un
usually hot, and the heat may return.
Let the following be a hint for behav
ior. Hall's Journal says checked per
spiration is the fruitful cause of sick
ness, disease and death to multitudes
every year. If a tea-kettle of water is
boiling on the fire, the steam is seen is
suing from the spout, carrying the ex
tra heat away with it, but if the lid be
fastened down and the spout be plug
ged, a destructive explosion follows in
a very short time.
Heat is constantly generated within
the human body, by the chemical dis
organization, the, combustion, the food
we eat. There are 7,000,000 of tubes or
pores on the surface of the body, which
in health are constantly open, convey
ing from the system by what is called
insensible peispiration this internal
heat, which, having answered its pur
pose, is passed off like the jets of steam
which are thrown from the escape-pipe,
in puffs, of any ordinary steam engine;
but this insensible perspiration carries
with it, in a dissolved form, very much
of the waste matter of the system, to the
extent of a pound or two or more every
24 hours. It must be apparent, then,
that if the pores of the skin are closed,
if the multitude of valves, which are
placed over the whole surface of the hu
man body, are shut down, great harm
results. The great practical lesson
which we wish to impress upon the
mind of the reader is this: When you
are perspiring freely, keep in motion
until you get to a good fire, or to some
place where you are perfectly sheltered
from any draft of air whatever.
.Cooling off suddenly when heated
sends many of our youth to an early
tomb. It is often a matter of surprise
that so many farmers' boys and girls die
of consumption. It is thought that
abundant exercise in the open air is di
rectly opposed to that disease. So it is;
but judgment and knowledge of the
laws of health are essential to the pres
ervation of health under any circum
stance. When over-heated cool off
slowly; never in a strong draft of air.
Gentle fanning, especially if the face is
wet with cold water, will soon produce
a delignttul coolness. wnicH leaves no
disagreeable results.
Lacing. If all the women insane on
on this subject were iu the asylums, the
accommodations would have to be large
ly increased. The habit is a general
one, and very injurious. A good au
thority says: "It has been found that
tho liver, the lungs, and the powers of
the stomach, havo been brought into a
diseased state by this most pernicious
habit. Loss of bloom, fixed redness of
the nose, and eruptions on the skin are
among its sad effects. If prolonged,
there is no knowing to what malady
tight lacing may not lead. Its most ap
parent effect is an injured digestion, and
concsqueat lesi of appetite. Of this,
however, it is often difficult to convince
the practiced tight-lacer, for vanity is
generally obstinate. But, looking at
tight-lacing, without consideration of
its effect on health, and merely as its
tendency to improve or to injure the ap
pearance, nothing can bo more absurd
than to believe that it is advantageous
to the figure. A small w.ist is rather a
deformity than a beauty. To seo the
shoulders cramped and squeezed to
gether is anything but agreeable. The
figure should be easy, well developed,
supple. If nature has not made the
waist small, compression cannot mend
her work."
Smiles. If people will only notice,
they will bo amazed to find how much a
really enjoyable evening owes to smiles.
But very few consider what an import
ant symbol of the fine intellect and of
line feeling they are. Yet all smiles,
after childhood, are things of education.
Savages do not smile; coarse, brutal,
cruel men may laugh, but they seldom
smile. It is painful to reflect how sel
dom the poor smile. The effluence, the
benediction, tho radionce, which "fill
tho silence like a speech" the smile of
a full, appreciative heart. The face
grows finer as it listens, and then breaks
into sunshine instead of words, has a
charming influence universally felt,
though very seldom understood or
acknowledged. Lord Bacon tells of a no
bleman whom he knew; a man who gave
lordly entortainments.but always suffer
ed some sarcastic personality to "mar a
good dinner," adding, "Discretion
of speech is more than eloquence, and to
Bpeak agreeably to him with whom we
deal is more than to speak in good
words; for he that hath a satirical vein,
making others afraid of his wit, hath
need to be afraid of others memory."
An Old House. The State House at
Annapolis, Maryland, erected more than
one hundred years ago, having fallen
into a decayed condition, is to be judi
ciously renovated, but care will be
taken not to alter the appearance of the
Senate Chamber, the seene of Washing
ton's surrender of his commission at the
triumphant close of the revolutionary
war. It has been determined to pre
serve a3 far as practicable all the features
of the past in the building that are cal
culated to excite the veneration of vis

. Good Stock vs. Scrubs.
Do our stockmen and farmers appre
ciate the differenco between a good steer
or cow and a poor one ? Do they know
how much more a good large draft horse
brings than a little, inferior animal.
bred from a small, worthless trotter, so
called ; or a good, well-bred hog or sheep
more than a "prairie" rooter or a Mexi
can mongrel? If they do not, just let
them make enquiries of those who raise
and sell Ihe improved breeds. WTe
know the good stock brings 100 per
cent, more than the scrub, and at their
enhanced value they are more profitable
to feed or to graze than the poorer
kinds. It is a waste of capital for a
farmer to breed any thing but good stock,
whatever argument may be advanced
in favor of the Texas cow upon the
plains. It is as easy to raiso a' 1,500
pound steer at four years old, if good
bulls and cows are used to breed from,
as to raise a 900 pound Texan, and the
price obtained for tho full bred one is
nearly twice as much as the scrub will
bring. As to horses, it is almost im
possible to sell a little, trifling horse,
only for a cow pony, but the large draft
horse always sells at good figures. A
Berkshire or Poland China hog will
make nearly double the pounds of meat
from a given amount of feed as the
poor, ill-bred hog, and the meat is bet
ter. A merino ewe will produce from
eight to ten pounds of good merchant
able wool; the Mexican and specimens
brought from Missouri and Arkansas to
the State will not show over three
pounds of hair and wool that sell only
for carpet wools.
Why our farmers will waste their
money, feed, and grass on such kinds
of stock is a mystery, w hen they can do
so much better, but we are young and
havo time to improve, and, judging
from the number of enterprising stock
men who are purchasing good bulls and
rams, the day is not far distant when
Colorado will do far better than she is
doing now. We hope to see before
another year the stock of hogs in our
State quadrupled, and before five years
enough pork made in our State to sup
ply the home demand. Colorado Ex.

What will cure it ? An incision should
be made, slantingly, with a sharp-pointed
bistoury or knife upon the right side
of tho neck at the base of the abscess.
The cut must not be so deep as to come
in contact with tlie spinal marrow. Ihe
opening at the base of the tumor should
be made snflicient in size to allow the
pus to freely escape as fast as it forms.
A seton should bo passed down from
the natural opening at the top of the
tumor through the artificial opening
made at its base. Before inserting the
seton it should be dipped in tincture of
cantharides. This will be found the
safest plan for promoting healthy gran
ulations and adhesion of the walls of
the tumor. The fistulous track is not
probably very long, unless it has been
some time standing, and tho tape seton
will work its way gradually and effica
ciously out, by which time tho cure is
made. A stimulus is also necessary to
be applied to the interior of the tumor,
by resaturating the seton, in three or
four days after it is farst inserted, with a
solution made by dissolving ten" grains
of nitrate of silver in one ounce of cold
water. The latter should be applied
twice a week until a healthy discharge
appears. Then stop. In the opening,
from the top down to the bottom, should
be injected three times a week, a stimu
lus composed of one drachm of chloride
of zinc dissolved in one pint of cold
water. Apply the zinc lotion in half an
hour after using the cantharides and ni
trate of silver lotion. The cantharides
should be used only once, and the ni
trate of silver on the third or fourth day
after, and continued twice a week as
long as necessary.
How to Increase the Flow of
Milk.-A lady correspondent of a South
ern paper, writing from Arkansas, gives
the following recipe to increase the flow
of milk in a cow. She says: "Tepid
water, slightly salted, given twice a day.
will increase the flow of milk one third ;
if tho cow will not drink it at the first
trial scatter a handful of brau or meal
over the top of it. They soon become
very fond of it, and will drink all you
givo them. I tried this plan three years
ago with perfect success. I had only
one cow, and sue was of the common
scrub stock of the country, and after
she began to drink the water, prepared
as above, she furnished me twice a day
two ordinary water-buckets full of milk.
and by feeding a little corn boiled with
cotton seed, the milk vielded enouch
butter to supply my table bountifully
and leave me a few pounds to sell every
week. I gave her three gallons of water
twice a day."
Old Fashioned SnoEs Revived.
Many of the shoes of centuries ago are
being revived, and a successful imita
tion of those of the Queen Anne period
has the toe pointed and a strap across
the instep, tied with a bow over a very
deep toe piece. "Shoes are made of silk
to match any dress, with or without em
broidery, the shape being pointed at the
toes, short on the instep, and moderate
ly low as regards the heel. Many are
embroidered in simple designs, such as
a green spray in the form of a bow, or
a star in satin stitch of gold-colored
silk. The patterns are not large enough
to give an appearance of size to the
foot, but are simply ornamental, and do
away with the necessity of large bows,
which are now replaced by double loops,
of ribbon on the binding at the instep.
Kid shoes, both black and white, are
also embroidered to match the dresses
in silk, as also in black, sbel or gold
beads. Boston Transcript.

Keeping a Secret. -
Buggies, an old cabinet-maker, of
Boston, told me that ho used to make
Stuart's panels for him. They were
made of mahogany, and as Stuart com
plained that he missed the rough sur
face of canvas that was favorable to the
sparkle of his color, Ruggles invented
tho way of prcducing that sort of sur
face by cutting teeth in the plane-iron
and dragging it backward, that proving
the best way of indenting without tear
ing the wood. Buggies said that at the
time he used to work for Stuart, his
shop was in Winter street, on the
ground floor,, and, one day, sitting at
his shop door, he saw Stuart coming
down the street, in earnest conversation
with a gentleman. Stuart came into
the shop followed by his friend, and,
said Ruggles, "I saw that the gentle
man was urging him to tell him some
thing that he was unwilling to trust lrim
with." Stuart said: "Mr. Ruggles!
have you got a piece of chalk ?" I gave
him a piece; he then turned to the other
and said; ' J 'mow a secret: tlct stands
for me," and i.e made a mark. thus. 1.
"Now, you are my good fiit-nd and
would like to know my secret, you are
: man of honor, and if I tell you it will
do no harm, and, at any rte, it will
gratify you as a mark of my confidence,
so I tell you," and, making another
mark, 1, "that stands for you, so there
are two that know it. But you are a
married man, and, as your wife is a dis
creet woman, and you never have any
secrets between you, some day when
you are alone together, and have no
thing to talk about, you tell her you
know something curious, but are afraid
she will speak of it. She will be indig
nant at not being trusted, insists that
she ought to know; promises she never
will whisper it to any one, and perhaps
cries a little, so you tell her, and that
stands for her;" he made another mark,

"Three," said his friend. "There are
one hundred and eleven that know it

The Value of Knowing how to
Swim. Hanging in shrouds of a sink
ing ship on a wild November afternoon,
the engine-room flooded from the leak,
the steam pumps not able to work, my
back tortured beyond endurance with
hard labor at the levers of the hand
pump, the deck swept by the bursting
seas, a wild and angry sky above, the
lee shore perfectly horrible in the tem
pest of its waves and the thunder of the
surf that went rolling and charging by
squadrons of billows over a half a mile
of low, sandy bottom, I asked myself
whether, if the ship broke up, I could
manage the under tow that merciless
drag backward of the sea, the top
most wave washing the swimmer
illusively toward the shore, the under
most sucking him down and out. I said
to myself au emphatic "Yes!" But the
experiment was spared me, and I got
ashore next morning in a life-boat.
Ever since that awful hour and night, I
have had a sincere respect for the sci--.

ence and art 01 swimming, 111 which,
next to God, then rested all my hope
and trust.
But before we talk about fighting an
under-tow in a wicked sea-way, let us
discuss the principles and methods of
swimming. To drown in a river, with
the shore only a few yards away, when
any dog or donkey would reach the
land, must involve a feeling of personal
humiliation as well as despair. To le
self-trustworthy is the first thing in
moments of danger; but the art of swim
ming has a high value in the saving of
other lives, and is, besides, a luxury and
accomplishment worth having for the
mere fun of the thing. In our civiliza
tion swimming is an acquired accom
plishment. It is understood to be a
natural function, with nearly all kinds
of animals, hogs and humanity being
the leading exceptions. The inability
to swim is in all cases a defect of educa
tion. Si. Nicholas for July.
A Dead Officer's Rino. A touch
ing incident has just occurred in con
nection with the death of Lieut. Wm.
Van W. Rertly, who fell with Custer in
hat terrible fight on the Little Big
Horn last year. At the time of the bat
tle he wore a seal ring with his crest
cut upon it, and this, together with his
clothing, his sword, his pistols, and all
his belongings, was torn from his dead
body and carried away by some one of
the foe who had helped to kill him.
His mother, unable to secure his re
mains, and longing for something that
had been with him to the last, tried in
every way to recover it; she offered im
mense rewards; she had fac similies of
the die made and sent to the different
agencies along the frontier, and she
wrote to all the commanding officers in
the Sioux country, describing it, and a
few days ago she received official no
tice from the War Department that the
ring' had been found. It was taken
from the finger ' of one of the 1,500
Cheyennes who came in the other day
for the annual supply of forgiveness
and ammunition.
A Strange Directory. The first di
rectory ever published in Philadelphia .
was sent out by a man named McPher
son in 1785. The Philadelphians of
those days did not take kindly to the
collection of addresses, and when the
collector couldn't get a man's name the
publisher printed the answers given, as,
for instance: "I won't tell you," 3 Maid
en Lane; "Non of your business," 15
Sugar alley; "Never mind what my
name is," 1G0 New Market street;
"Don't you wish you knew?" 185 John
street; "Just as you please to put it;"
49 Market street. In the directory for
1793 appears the following: "Dorleans,
Mess., Merchants, near 100 South
Fourth street." Had it been printed
D'Orleans ihere would have been no
misunderstanding. They were Louis
Philippe, afterward King of France,
and his brother, the Due du Montpen
sier. The crockery dealers have "had their
annual dinner. Wishes were made that
the hotels might do a "smafching" busi
