An old farmer lately gave this advice
to his sons: "Boys, don't you ever wait

back up to you to be milked."
A philosopher says: "Nature is a fault
less workman. She never makes a mis
take. In order to give women something
wherewith to occupy their minds and
hands, she gave them long hair. At the
same time, foreseeing that circumstances
might arise in which the possession of
long hair would be inconvenient, she
made the back hair of woman detacha
ble, so that it can be taken off and laid
aside whenever such a course seems de
sirable." - A Hartford man went home to dinner
and saw part of the washing still left in
the tubs. Hurrying to the yard he saw

keep the newly-washed garments from the
ground.
"Here I've been, holdiBg this line for
over an hour, sir," she snapped.
"But why didn't you call some one?"
he inquired. "There's that new family
next door the woman would have come
over in one minute."
But the wife said: "Woman next door,
you big idiot, you! Hasn't she been
peeking around for two weeks to see my
wash, and d'ye think I'd give her a chance
to find out whether the sleeves of my
nightgown were pieced down with un
bleached cotton? You don't know any
thing, sir, and you make tracks for a
piece of rope, sir."

A box full of fine-cut was handed him.

French Orators.
Col. Higginson, in a letter to the
Woman's Journal, from Paris, gives the
following interesting description of the
scene witnessed by him at the centennial
of Voltaire:
I came to Paris a little earlier than I
had intended, not so much to honor the
memory of Voltaire though in many
ways I honor it, not in all as to avail
myself of an unusual opportunity of
hearing French eloquence. I had always
wished to know whether this wonderful
ly adaptive language lent itself to oratory
as it does to prose writing and to conver
sation ; and when I hear Victor Hugo and
Emile Deschanel, I found that its re
sources were greater than I had dreamed,
lis delicacy, its precision, the fine edge
of its satire, the exquisite ease with
which one who wields it can decapitate
an opponent before he knows it, like the
sword of Saladiu all this I observed
with delight. But I found also that it
had in it a power of gradual swell and
reach, for which I was not so well pre
pared. I never heard a finer ocean-swell
of a sentence than when Victor Hugo de
scribed all the arts of peace, all the joys
of home, all the pursuits and interests of
life, and then showed how sovereigns
made all this to culminate in that fright
ful International Exposition called a battle-field
1 To say that it was brilliant and
electric is nothing: it was a swell like an
ocean wave, bursting at last in spray and
dyiBg away in sound.
It is idle to call Victor Hugo a mere
rhetorician; it is impossible to appreci
ate his style without hearing it from his
own lips. And it implies a French audi
ence, too, full of enthusiasm, of literary
perception, and of demonstration; men
around me followed the progress of
sentence with smothered "Ah-h-h" of
breathless delight, and the applauses at
the intervals with hands and with shouts
never with feet were Buch as
might
well carry an orator beyond himself.
Long before the hour of meeting, all
tickets were sold, and placards announc
ed the fact a dense crowd' surrounded
the theater and it was hard to reach the
door. When I told the sergent de tille
(or policeman) at the door that I was an
American and must have a place, he left
his post to another and guided me to
where a few more seats were yet sold by
speculators, and I got one for less price
tu an some wno came later.
Never did I see an audience of finer asr
pect. There is amon' cultivated French
men, I maintain, an air superior to that of
Anglo-haxons ot the same grade; equal
mtellect with far higher polish. The
platform was filled with such men and
the audience had a prevailingly well
dressed look which surprised me. This,
indeed, was the picked audience; the
vast popular demonstration of six thou
sand persons was going at the American
circus at the same time. When I asked
my French neighbor whether Victor
Hugo was on the platform, he looked at
me with surprise. "When Victor Hugo
enters, he said, you will hear a sound
rrom the audience like that of an ocean
And such indeed was the shout of ao
plause when that commanding gray head
appeared amidst the crowd on the plat
form. "When Victor Hugo rose to speak, the
scene was to the eye tar more impressive
Twelve candles were lighted that he
might see his manuscript these candles
lighted up the strong face of the old poet,
with its white hair and short white beard
and behind his face rose a laureled
pedestal, on which smiled the bust of
Voltaire. It was the only bust of him
ever seen by me in which the smile was
not cynical and a little repulsive in this
bust it was simply kindlv and equable.
and Victor Hugo's praises of the smile
seemed therefore less daring. The speak
er's manuscript consisted of sheets twice
the size of the largest foolscap I ever
saw, and the band writing was in propor
tion, so that the speech was read without
glasses. The effect of it was to try a
sentence in his own vein serene, defiant,
conciliatory, revolutionary, winning, ter
rific. You could not call his manner
over-done, because it was so in keeping
with the matter and so natural to the
man. .Never had he more fehcious an
titheses, more dramatic climaxes; and
even when he raised his hand above his
head, each finger quivering, with sepa
rate currents of excitement, and when he
struck his head with his hands as if to
tear his hair, it still seemed merely as if
the key-note of the whole were pitched
a little like ours, and as if all else were
correct. And certainly, if the test of ora
tory is to make the moat of an occasion
and an audience, that effect was reached
by Victor Hugo.

A correspondent ot the Charleston
Newt and Courier writes the voyage of
the Azor to Liberia: The sufferings of
the immigrants were intense. They had
not been accustomed to practice self de
nial, and soon exhausted the limited
daily supply of water. There was great
waste despite the efforts of the officers.
The fever ipread rapidly, and before we
reached this point, which is a colonial
settlement on the West Coast, belongiug
to Great Britain, twenty-three of our ill
fated emigrants had died. I have never
seen a sadder sight than when their re
mains were committed to the deep. The
names of the dead will go to you by the
first mail steamer that touches at this
place.
St. Louis Compared with India.
"This is hotter than India," said a gen
tleman behind the counter of a promi
neut cigar store on Fourth street to an
Evening Post reporter who was buying a
weed.
"How do you make that out?"
"I mean one suffers more from the heat
as it now rages here than do the white
people in India. I was in India nine
years, sergeant in one of the British regi
ments stationed there, and I know that I
have suffered more from the heat during
the past three days in St. Louis than I
ever did in all the years I was in India.
.The reason is that the temperature, high
as it is, is eqable it ranges all the year
round from say 110 to 120, and the sys
tem gradually becomes accustomed to it.
While here the changes are so sudden that
the ueople are prostrated at once."
"How do the white people in India
keep cool?"
"The hot winds that blow there seem
to come straight from a furnace, and to
protect themselves from these winds
masses oi seaweed, caned taties, are
erected in front of all the doors,' stretch
ing in a slanting direction from the top
of the door to the ground, and these taties
are kept wet by natives throwing water
upon them all day long. Drafts of ai
are prodaced in the rooms by what they
call punkahs, like the movable fans, kep
in motion by steam, that you see in the
restaurant. Only the punkahs are about
six feet long and three feet wide, and a
native keeps pulling them, standing at
one end, by means of a rope. Attached
to the bottom of the punkahs are cur
tains, which sweep down within six inches
ot your lace when you lie in bed. You
find your bed, though, covered with bugs
you can sweep them off m handfuls.
you clear the bed of them by placing
in the sun, you find it covered the nex
morning the same as ever."
"Are sun-strokes frequent?"
"JNotas long as the men are not on
duty, i'rom 0 a.m. until 4 r. M. it is
dangerous to be out ia the sun. During
one march which my regiment made in
in 1858, about fifty men a day were struck
in that regiment alone. A man wouli
begin to laugh, then to cry, and in fifteen
minutes he would be a corpse. I have
seen their skulls split open as if some oue
had struck them on the head with an ax
and you could see their brains boiling
while the skull itself became black

gress, which has recently been in session
at I'aris, have done their work very well

ropean mails transported across the Unit

Four francs a kilogramme for letters was
the sum named in the French project of
the Postal Congress. But our Commis
siouers insisted that the price should be
six franca a kilogramme, or halt as much
again, and that amouut was finally agreed
on.
uut representatives also succeeded in
limiting the obligation to pay for loss of
registered packages, in all countries be
longing to the Postal Union which agree
to it, to $10 or thereabouts, without re
gard to the conteuts of the packages, the
value ot the contents to be endorsed on
the packages, in order to secure special
care in transmission and handling. It
was not possible to arrange finally an in
teruational money order system with
France, because France desires to have
the rate uniform for all countries, a thing
out ot the question, at present at least.
But the subject was well ventilated, and
it is probable that at a special convention
to consider the international money order
system some arrangement will be made

TnE Biggest Man in the Would.-
William Campbell, who is said to have
been the biggest man in the world, died
in Newcastle, England, last May, at the
age of twenty-two. He was born in Glas
gow in 1856, and went to Newcastle last
November, where he became landlord of
the public house known as the "Duke of
Wellington." When but nine months
old, he weighed 5(J pounds, and at the age
of ten he turned the scale of 252 pounds.
He continued to increase in size until.
just before his death, he weighed 728
pound. His height was G feet 35 in
ches, he measured 95 inches around the
shoulders, 70 inches around the chest, 47
inches around the thigh, and the circum
ference of his calf was 35 inches. One
suit of clothes for him required more
cloth than would be needed to make
three suits for an ordinary man.
A Woman's Bravery.- -Quite a ro
mantic tale f reward for bravery comes
from Copenhagen, of which a laborer's
wife past fifty years ot age is the heroine.
It seems that the poor woman, observing,
a few months ago, three children who had
fallen through the ice on the lake, rushed
into the water, and, at the imminent peril
of her own life, rescued the children. His
majesty the king decided that this act ot
bravery should not pass unrewarded. The
poor woman was sent up to town from
the country; a room was prepared for her
in the royal palace, where she staid a
couple of days to see the sights of Copen
hagen, and the other day . she received
from the bauds of the king, in the pres
ence of the royal family, the rredal and
ribbon for civil acts of bravery, being the
first woman in Denmark who has receiv
ed this honor,
George Washington Revise d.
George, did you chop down the cherry-
tree V
"What do you soy?"
"Did you chop down that tree?''
"Ax me no questions ond I'll tell you

'George, you have a hatchet?"
"So's a hen."
"You chopped down that tree?"
"Didn't."
"Young man, commere to me."
"What d'you want?"
"To play hide and seek."
So the old man went out to seek the
hide. The scene which ensued in the
wood-shed beggars description. It was
touching in the extreme.
"I hold it to be a fact." says Pascal,
"that if all persons knew what they said
of each other, there would not be any
friends in the world."
A woman need not always recall her
age, but she should never forget it.
A Healthy Body and a Clear Head.
. If indigestion, constipatiou and bilious
ness torment the body, the head canuot be
cl ear. These disorders react upon tlie brain
most hurtfully, and produce a cloudiness in
the organ of thought not experienced by a
healthy man. Happily these brain-oppressing
maladies may be entirely dispelled by
that peerless alterative, llostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which cheers, refreshes and invigor
ates the brain and nerves, while it regulates
the organs of digestion, assimilation and bil
ious secretion. It expels the morbid humors
which poison the system through the bowels
and urinary passages, and exerts a powerfully
invigoratiug influence as well. Its cathartic
action is never irritating, violent or painful,
but even, natural and progressive. As an
appetizer and Bleep promoter the Bitters is
unrivalled; it mitigates the infirmities of
age, relieves the ailments peculiar to the
gentler sex, arrests premature decay, and
builds up an enfeebled physique.
