Safely Home. In the early days of America, window ,/ glass, being expensive, was often car- ' tied a long distance with great care. The story is told of a settler who built a log house, and after moving his fami- ‘ ly in, went to Gorhamtown" to purchase twelve lights of 7x9 glass for the two small windows. This was tied in a large handkerchief and he started on his return. . He selected even places for his feet at every step, and avoided all possible ob stacles; thus he moved slowly home- ward. All went Well until he reached his own dooryard. As he approached the house, he saw his wife standing in the doorway, and shouted: ‘ ‘Well, Sally, I’ve got my glass home!” , Alas! his attention had been diverted; he caught his foot in a small bush by the path and fell headlong. Quick as thought he raised his hand high to shield the glass, but it came down with full swing upon a flat stone and was broken into ' fragments. Then and there he registered a vow that he 'would never look through glass in that house, and he kept his word. . “If I’d fell half way to Gorhamtown,” he said, “I wouldn’t ha’ keered; but it seemed too everlasting bad to go down and smash it right off agin my own door l”-.-—Youth’s Companion. Too Frank Entirely. Two young fellows, partners in the tea trade, were the best of friends, and their intimacy eptended to personal as well as to business matters, says An- swcrs. One of them, a simple-minded fel- low, was a bachelor, and was in the habit of reading to his partner ex- tracts from letters of an ardent and aflectionate nature from a lady in the north of England, who signed herself “Susie.” The married one went to China for twelve months, and returned just in time to attend the wedding of his part- nor. “I hardly feel like a stranger,” he , said, in his sweetest tones, addressing the bride. “In fact, I feel as though I ought to be well acquainted with my partner’s wife, since he has often done me the honor to read to me extracts of his dear Susie’s letters.” The faces of the husband and the speaker were studies as the bride drew herself up and said, emphatically and distinctly: “I beg your pardon—my name is Helen.” A Cold in the Head The quickest way to get rid of it—the simplest and surest—no bother, no trouble—is with Salva—cea (TRADE-MARK). lt cures Catarrh.

Mischievous Spottycus and His Faithful 'Followers. - On one of our small coast-survey schooners there was once a litter of luppies belonging to the captain. 'l‘hey were only to be allowed to re- main on board until old enough to leave their mother, but during their stay on board what scurrying, scam- pering, frolicsome nuisances they were! The smartest and most ener- getic puppy of the lot was a little fluffy black and white spotted fellow called “Spottycus, the Gladiator,” and he led the others into mischief. The puppies had their meals immediately after the ward-room officers... Spotty- cus evidently considered it an in- fringement of his dignity to be rele- gated to the second table, and so one day he led a crusade. It_was a warm summer evening, and the ward-room officers were just being helped to their Soup, when there was a rush overhead, followed by a most fearsome succession of tiny barks. The officers looked up, and5 beheld every one of the open sky—lights overhead occupied by a little dog reaching over as far as he could get, his mouth open and his little red tongue hanging out. The first lieutenant arose from his seat in horror, but as if that had been the signal agreed upon, Spottycus slipped from his hold and plunged headlong into the turecn of hot soup. As in duty bound, the others followed his example, and for a while, in the midst of sounds of breaking glass- ware, the thud and splash of falling bodies and a prolonged and horrible yelping, squealing and whining, it rained puppies. Their next exploit was to fall over- board all together, being led as usual by the indomitable Spottycus, whose cheerful disregard of consequences was something appalling. They were rescued from a watery grave and wrapped up in hot towels. whence they escaped to eat a lot of poisoned fly—paper. They became deathly Sick, of course, and all that night had to be attended by two of the officers and most of the crew. After this they were sent ashore, having been found beyond control. Finance in the Sunday School. The Sunday school needed money, and Mr. Smart, the superintendent, had a new way of getting it, says London Tid-Bits. He proposed giving each boy half a crown. At the end of a month the principal, together with what ,. it earned, was to be returned to him. The fourth Sunday found the super- intendent ready to audit the profit and loss account, and he commenced with Johnnie’s class. “How have you done, Johnnie?” “My half-crown has earned another one,” said Johnnie, with the air of one having an option on a halo. “Good!” said the superintendent. “Not only is Johnnie a good boy in helping the school, but he shows bus- iness talent. Doubling one’s money in a single month requires no com- mon ability. \Vho can tell but what We may have another budding Croe- sus among us? Johnnie, you have done well. And, now, Thomas, how much has your half-crown earned?” “Lost it,” said Thomas. “What!” Not only failed to earn anything, but actually lost!” said Mr. Smart. “How was that?” “I tossed with Johnnie,” was the re- ply, “and he won.” His Head Buried in )Ilul. William Norris, a typesetter. was the victim of a most peculiar accident While out gathering chestnuts at Ro- selle, N. J., in the autumn. Norris was up a tree shaking down the nuts, When a particularly hard gust of wind swayed the tree violently, and Norris fell to the ground, a distance of twen- ty feet. Theground beneath the tree is nat- urally soft and marshy, and the re- Cent rains have left it extremely soggy and soft. Norris, in his fall, struck on his head in a lot of ooze and mud, and was buried up to his neck in it. . When his companions reached Nor- ris, expecting to find him dead and with his neck broken, they saw him, instead, kickng his heels in the air and endeavorng to pull his head from its muddy place. They quickly dragged Norris from his slimy pillow, and he was as black as night when he sat up, dazed and gasping for breath. Norris’s nose bled freely for a time, and he suffered from a strained back, but after he had washed the mud from his face he seemed to be as well as ever. Stories of \Vebster’s Youth. As a boy Daniel Webster was not overproud of labor. On one occasion his father returned from a short journey and found ”certain work 'un— ,done. Summoning the boys, he asked, sharply: "lSZrckiel, what have you been doing?” “Nothing, sir,” was the reluctant upiy. “Well, Daniel, what have you been doing?” “Helping ’Zeke, sir,” was the prompt and cheer- ful answer, and the father’s anger was lost in his mirth. On another oc- casion Daniel was put to mowing, but complained that his scythe “was not hung right.” "All right,” said his father,; ”hang it to suit yourself.” Thereupon Daniel hung the scythe upon a Irec, remarking: “There; that is hung to suit me.” And he mowed no more that day.

Eiectric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and per- haps fatal bilious fevers. No menicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. c.—With 225,- 775 votes counted, McKinley and Hobart have about 7,200 majority in this state. While the precincts to be heard from may reduce these figures slightly, the Repub- lican majority will not be less than 6,000, giving the Bryan ticket the benefit of the doubt wherever it seems reasonable. The Chronicle says: “California id‘safe- ly in the McKinley column. Bryan showed unexpected strength in southern Cali- fornia and reduced the lead which Mc- Kinley had very materially, but the loss was more than mat‘ up' by the majority returned by Alameda county. Alameda gave McKinley a majority of over 5,000, which is 3,000 more than it gave Harri- son. ., The counties of the state, so far as heard from, show that McKinley is lead- ing by 7,009, but as some of the moun- tain counties are yet to be heard from it is expected to reduce this to 5, 000." Bryan’s vote in some. parts of the interior occa- sioned surprise, but nothing can possibly defeat the McKinley electors. No figures have been obtained from a number of counties in the eastern part of the state, but their total vote is hardly enough to changethe result. . ' ' ' “The congressional situation shows a decided change from the reports sent out. McIachlan, Republican, concedes his do- but by about 200 Votes. ‘ Bowers, Repub- lican; and=.Cas‘tle,'-,fusl0nist. are making a 01091-1890, and Lit-the, former Wins it will be by a narrow margin.
