the Model Husband at Work.
The Doodlebugs are going out of
town. They are hastening for the
train. Mr. Doodlebug is getting them
off. He is full of business, as becomes
the head of the family.
'Here, Emeline, take this little va
lise and the baby and go on. I'll
catch you before you .get to
the station. Hold on, I'll just hook
this hat box on your fingers. There
now, that'll carry nicely ; got the baby
all right? Tommy,you and Billy and
little sister run along with mother—
great heavens, Emeline, don't let that
child run across the street alone ; take
hold of his hand, can't you ? Tommy,
come back and get this umbrella and
bag of lemons 1 Emeline! Emeline !
You've forgotten the lunch basket.
Billy, run here quick and take this
lunch basket to your mother ! Now,
Emeline, do hurry, or you'll miss the
train. Never mind the rest of the
things; I'll carry them.'
Pour minutes after Mrs. Emeline
reaches the station,having wrestled all
the way with a baby, three children
and four packages. Mr. Doodlebug
arrives, carrying a rattan cant weigh
ing four ounces. He is so tired he
h&3 to go in to the smoking car and
sleep all the way to tie station.
The doodlebugs ? Imaginary peo
ple ? Not by a long chalk, my dear
sir. They live right here in Burling
ton, and everybody knows them. No.
I don't know that he is considered i
much more selfish than some of his
neighbors. Mre.Doodlebug thinks he
is a model husband. Yes,l have heard
some of her 'neighbors say she is a
fool. But she isn't I don't think. She
is a woman, and consequently love:
her husband too well to dub him
with a couplin pin every once in a
while for his own good. She would
carry more things for him if she had
more arms.
Bursting a Gun.
Those old enough to carry a loaded
gun should be too old to play tricks
with it They also ought to be farail-.
iar with its use as to know that a
slight resistance at the end of the muz
fie will burst it, when fired. The fol
lowing illustrations are suggestive as
to the carelessness which arises from
ignorance or foolhardiness :
In bravado a young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling-piece under the
water and fired the charge. The result
was the bursting of the barrel near
the breech and the mutilation of his
band.
Another placed and held the muzzle
of his piece against a piece of plate
window-glass and firing the charge—
powder and bullet. The glass was
shattered, so was the gun barrel.
Another instance was that of an ex
perimenter who had heard that a can
dle conld be fired from the barrel ot a
gun through an inch board.
He drove a candle in to the muzzle
of the gun, fired, and the explosion
split the barrel almost its entire length,
and did not even drive the candle
from the muzzle.
Still another burst of a gun barrel
wag caused by the use of wet grass
for a wad, well rammed down over a
charge of shot *
Poison in Postal Notes.
The Old Style Discarded to Get Rid
of the Green Ink.
The U. S. Post-office Department i 3
issuing a new style of postal note. It is
of the same size as the old one, but diff
ers in color and in the method of indi
cating the number of dollars to be paid.
The old one was made of bright yellow
paper, with a broad fdesign on the back
priuted in green. The amount to be
paid was indicated by punching figures
in the margin. The new one is made
of paper of a faded lilac color, and is
printed in black on the face and in blue
•n the back. The number of dollars
is indicated by the number of stubs at
tached to it after it is torn from the
book.
, The chief reason for making the
change was the poisonous character of
the ink on the back of the notes. Supt.
Pimley,of the money-order department,
in the New York office,said that one of
the clerks had noticed, some time ago,
after handling a large number of the
notes, when his fingers were moist,that
the ink rubbed off and eventually the
fingers became swollen. He thereafter
used rubber tips when handling them.
A business man also complained, one
day, that after handling seventy of the
notes, during which he wet his fingers
at his mouth, his lips swelled up and
wete painful. A clerk in the depart
s mentat Washington was similarly af
flicted.
The new notes will entirely supersede
the old ones in a few weeks. All dan
ger in handling any number of the old
ones can be avoided by cleanliness
while at work.
An eccentric old bachelor who died
lately at Easton, Pa., left $50,000 for
the erection of a monument* over his

of a brass band to bear his name, and i
at each anniyersary of death to play a I
dirge at his grave. * J
At bea in a Basket.
It was upon September 20, 1854, the
Arctic, belonging to the now extinct
Collins line, sailed from Liverpool to
New York with more than 200 passeng
ers on board. The voyage was safely
accomplished until the Arctic got with
in 65 miles of Cape Race, when she was
ran into by the Vesta, a small iron
steamer owned and manned|by a French
man, and of about 100 tons burden,
Within four hours of the collision the
big yessel disappeared beneath the
waves,and the little vessel was speeding
on her way toward the Frencn coast
where, unconscious of the mischiel she
had done, she arrived in safety about a
fortnight later. About 400 of the Arc
tic's crew and passengeis were saved in
a boat and a few more were picked up
from rafts and bits of the vessel, n
mong the latter being Captain Luce
and Mr. Smith, then a resident of the
State of Mississippi but subsequently a
wealthy Glasgow merchant. Mr. Smith
was saved upon a ratt of planks, lashed
together by himself,on the top of which
he tied the basket, lined with tin, into
which unwashed plates were put dur
ing the saloou dinner. Upon the edge
of the basket, with his feet at the bot
tom , Mr. Smith sat for two nights and
nearly three days, bailing as it filled
from time to time. It will be heard
with little surprise that for many years
Mr. Smith preserved this much-valued
historical basket as a trophy in his
drawing-room at Glasgow, and showed
it to his friends as the vehicle in which
he floated upon the waves for fifty or
sixty hours.
