which I am acquainted. I liopo the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children , and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their lorcd ones , by forcing opium ,
morphine , soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats , thereby sending
them to premature graves.1'

One Masher Who Gets His De
serts.
This "mashing" business must bo
the outcome of a diseased brain , be
cause-there is an indifference to rs-
sults that would bo utterly strange
in a man who has his right mind.
The masher is by no means a brave
man , but on the other hand he is gen
erally a contemptible coward. No
man with any" personal respect or
courage would stoop to such low
practices. This particular masher
boarded a Cottage Grove avenuecnr
and took his seat beside a lady who
was the possessor of some personal
charms that seemed to impress them
selves on the mind of the lellow. He
crowded closely against the lady ,
who did not seem to notice him. He
persisted in his crowding and it
could be seen without any effort
that she was very angry. She said
nothing to the masher , however , but
let him go on. He got so bold that
he became offensive in his actions ,
although he never said a word to
her. The lady was dressed in a sort
of blouse that was gathered about
her waist with a silk belt and this
belt was' fastened by a long , stout
steel "pin with"a silver head. Some
of the passengers who had their eyes
on the man noticed that she put her
hand on the belt and kept it there
for a moment , looking askance at
the masher who sat next to her.
Once more he pressed his knee
against her. That was enough for
the woman. She quickly pulled out
the stiletto-like pin from her belt ,
and , with a strong thrust , jabbed it
into the masher's leg. The whelp
jumped as if he had been shot , yelled
like a stuck pig and made one grand
rush for the door. He did not stop
to get off the platform , bufc vaulted
over the dashboard and fell prone on
his face in the stre.et. The pas
sengers laughed with delight and de
rision at the man's discomfiture ,
while the woman wiped off her pin
with her handkerchief and replaced
it in her belt. This is the proper way
to serve all men of this stamp. A
few lessons like this and the disre
putable practice would bo materially
lessened ; at least the masher would
show more respect for his intended
victim. Chicago Post.
The Man and the Rat.
From the Boston Courier.
A singular story , which the
genius of a Hoffman or a Poe might
make extremely effective , is that of a
man in Indiana who seems to have
been haunted by an evil spirit in the
form of a rat or at least that is the
form the idea would probably take
in the story.
Some twenty years since he was
feeding grain into a threshing ma
chine when a rat ran across the floor
of the barn where he was at work.
Ho turned to watch it nnd allowed
his hand to be drawn into the ma
chine in his absentmindedness. His
hand was torn off , and he has since
been forced to make shift with the
remaining hand , which fortunate
ly was the right.
A few days since , so the story goes ,
he was feeding a threshing machine
in the same place , when again a rat
ran n cross the floor. Remembering
the old accident he vented his indig
nation in a violent kick at the ani
mal , when his foot slipped , and he
lost his balance , and , in recovering
himself , he let his right hand be
drawn into the machine , and it was
in turn pulled off as the other had
been. The story is a curious one ,
and full of possibilities in the way of
development of its marvelous side.
It could be carried a little further ,
and the crowninc : incident be made
the death of the victim of the malev
olent hauntina ; rat.
A Self Inflating Life Saving
Belt.
In nautical circles a newly patent
ed life saving belt is attracting much
attention. This new apparatus
clasps around the body at the waist
Hue , and in its empty condition is
easily carried. To this girdle is at
tached a little iron flask , which con
tains carbonic acid or carburetted
hydrogen gas , the former mixed with
from 10 to 20 per cent , of pure alco
hol in order to prevent the chilling ot
the gases when filling the flask.
The hollow space in the belt has a
capacity of a little less than 100 En
glish quarts. Two hundredgrains of
fluid carbonic acid gas and twenty
grains of alcohol are required to fill
it. When the belt is to be used a
conveniently placed valve is opened
and fills at once with light gases.
According to scientific principles 100
liters of gas will displace the same
amount of water : that is to say , will
support in the water a weight cor
responding to 100 quarts , or , in oth
er words , about 200 pounds. Any
human being equipped \viththegirdle
has every prospect of success in a
combat wifjh the waves. New York
Journal.
A Hearty Eater.
A well known traveling agent for
a Philadelphia carriage paper has
carried off the honors for eating in
this cityIn a recent meal for him
self he consumed two whole chickens ,
fried Maryland style , five pounds ;
"
one extra" porterhouse steak , ten
ears of corn , one dozen tomatoes
sliced with onions , one quart stewed
potatoes nnd one dozen corn cakes.
He was the only man- who partook
of the meal , and he did not fall into
ashes when he finished. Cincinnati
Enquirer. .
A Bland But Shrewd Senator
Senator Sawyer , of Wisconsin , who
went out West nearly forty years
ago with two thousand dollars , the
savings of fifteen yeare , and is now
one of the richest men in the United
States Senate , has a large heart , and
a sharp eye for business , too. A
writer in the Minneapolis Tribune
relates that he once played a neat
trick uponsomeEastern speculators.
.Some years ago some Wisconsin
lands were advertised for sale under
the general law , and Senator Sawyer ,
then , as now a large Wisconsin land
holder , took care to post himself
thoroughly upon the value of each
parcel put up at auction. When the
sale day arrived a party of Eastern
capitalists on the lookout for a
speculation were on hand to bid.
They knew Sawyer , and in every in
stance they raised his bid. They felt
very much elated when they saw or
thought they saw a look of annoy
ance steal over his placid counte
nance as section atter section was
knocked down to them. They
bought nearly every parcel upon
which Sawyer set a price , and went
away delighted at their shrewdness.
Some years after , they visited-Wis-
consin and called upon Sawyer. He
was delighted to see them , and in
vited them to his house in Oshkosh
and treated them very hospitably.
They were going to look at the lands
they had purchased at the sale.
Sawyer chuckled as he shook each
by the hand , and invited them to
call again'when they came back.
They have not called to date.
The senator expected to meet sharp
ers at that sale , and so he got a
friend to bid on all the best lands for
him , and secured the good timber
lands offered.
The Eastern men still hold the ti-
bles to half the bogs in Wisconsin.
A Feast Celebrated by Duck
ing.
A swell Englishman arrived at
Burmah during the feast. He went
to call on one of the leading men of
Rangoon in a tall silk hat and black
clothes , and was met at the door by
a girl with a bucket of water. Thn
girl asked him in Burmese whether
he was observing the water feast ,
and he supposing that she wanted to
know whether he had come to see
her father nodded his head , and with
that nod this whole bucket of water
went over his silk hat and down the
back of his collar , completely drench
ing him. During the same time an
other party of Englishmen were told
that some girls were coming to throw
water on them. They had the ser
vants brin < r out the bath tub and
put it on the veranda , and when the
girls came they got possession of the
bath tub and splashed the English
men until one of them rushing in
seized one of the maidens and lifting
her up dropped her into the tub.
This was considered very impolite ,
and the young man who did it suf-
feiod by receiving no further atten
tion from the Burmese beauties.
Philadelphia Press.
An Italian's Ingenuity.
An Italian on the river bank has
solved the problem of giving his
children an outing with the least
possible exertion to himself. He
places his three children in a baby
carriage , to the handle of which a
rope about twenty feet long is tied.
The bank behind the house has a
gentle decline , so that a brisk push
from the father sends the carryall
flying down the grade. When the
water's edge is reached the vehicle's
flight is checked by a cord. But the
most remarkable part of the con
trivance is the goat which draws the
contrivance backup the inclined
backyard. The animal is made to
trot through a loner hall from one
end of the house to the other. Thus
the man can sit inside the iear out
side door of the hallway , away from
the sun's rays , steer the goat by a
well directed kick , while at the same
time the little ones are enjoying a
delightful toboggan slide amid the
refreshing breeze wafted across the
stream. Springfield Republican.
The Polite Frenchman.
When Gen. Morean was in the Unit
ed States he was once the victim
ot a very droll understanding. He
was present at a concert where a
piece was sung by the choir with the
refrain :
"To-morrow , to-morrow. "
Having a very imperfect knowledge
of English he fancied it to be a can
tata given in his honor , and thought
he distinguished the words :
' To Mpreau. to Moreau. "
Each time the refrain was repeated
he rose to his feet and gracefully
bowed on all sides , to the great as
tonishment of the audience , who did
not know what to make of it. Le
Figaro.
The Passion for Knowing.
Knowledge is valuable as a lever
to lift men and women to a higher
plane of being , but it is not in itself
the be-all and the end-all of existence.
The pasaion for knowing is superior
to the knowledge itself , but both to
gether are not sufficient to insure
the welfare of a nation. There must
also be the desire , the effort and the
wisdom so to use the knowledge as
to improve and exalt the character ,
and so to cultivate the whole nature
of those we teach as to make them
not only better scholars , but better
and nobler men and women. New
