THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Paying Her Debt. It wm n very poorly furnialiod room in a eottngo home i n small cottage, one of tunny, nil cmnll, menu niul can tlly furnished, mid tho "haniU" lived there This one wns Morgan's cottnge, mid it was Jnck Morgan himself and his s'lHtcr, Madgo, who wcro seated nt hreakfnst, lingering as was possible only on Sunday morning. Sho was a tall, wull-formeti, striking ly handsomo girl of ldnelcon, as shu sat facing her brother, who was somo five years older j and upon her faco was an eager, troubled look, whilo ho was Hiillen and downcast. Young as they were ttioy had scon better days s boon well educated up to tliroo years provlous to that Juno morn ing, and then been thrown suddenly upon their own rosources. Jack fought his way, sullon and rc Ecutful, making Cow friends, and seek ing none. Madga was tho braver of tho two, meeting their reverses with quiet cour age, and bringing energy, trust, and cheerfulness to tho mean cottago homo. Just ono week has clasped sinco an aunt rom whom thoy had never hoped for aid, had left them each a hundred iionuds, anil Jack had resolved to try iris fortuno in Canada, while Madgo nut hers asulo for a rainy day. "I'll Htay hero until you aro sure of success, Jack," she said, when ho urged her to join hint, "and keep a homo lor you in c.no that you should need ono." "Do you call tliif hole a homu I" ho asked, bitterly, and she only smiled and answered : "A shelter, then." Hut she was not smiling when she pat nt tho Sunday breakfast, eating lit tie, brooding sadly, until suddenly sho cried "Jack, wo must do something. Think what wo owo Tom Kim.'' 'Owe him I I belie vo wo havo paid him every farthing,' said Jack, sharp lv. "Wo havo paid him tho money, I know ; but we can never pay him what wo owo htnvstill. "Hah! Don't bo so sentimental, Mndco. "Common gratitudo is not sentiment alone, Jack. Jaok, she repeated, "can you forget who camo to us in that soro need, paid doctor and butcher, and thon buried our mother besido father in tho cemetery 1" "And do you forget," her brother re plied, almost aucrily, "how wo worked and starved and perished, until every Bmlling ot tlio money was in lorn King's pocket again 1" "I know 1 I know 1 Hut think how ho helped yon and mo to get our situa- tion in tho mills, and how delicately ho made tho loans ot monoy. And now, oh, Jack, I must do something!" "What can you do t If Tom King choso to lose Ins money tn speculating, now aro you responsible! 'I am not, but, Jack, there is Aunt Kato'a money.1' "All you havo iu tho world.'' "JNo, sho answered, "J. have my wages.' "A noble fortuno I Don t bo a fool, Madgo." Hut Madge was a fool in tho senso he meant. All through tho morning, whilo she dressed in her quiet morning lor church, oven through tho service there, sho was thinking of what sho owed Tom King. When her mother crushed by the death of her husband, unablo to meet tho change lrom comfort to poverty, sank down prostrated, when Jack, un ablo to get work, was cursing fortune, Tom King camo as their father's friend, and kept them from starvation. Madgo'a hoart glowed as sho remembered how thoughtful ho was about sparing hor trouble in every way. Ho was raoro than doublo age, and a grave, reserved man, whom sho re garded with tho allcctionato respect she would havo given her father, but with that same roverenco she loved him deoply. And when tho whole town knew that Tom King lay in tho Now town hospital, sick and penniless, tho whole noble, grateful heart of Madgo morgan went out to mm. Many stories reached hor. Ho had made a fortuno and lost it ; ho had invested in mines that failed and ruin- od him ; ho had been engaged, accord ing to the Newtown gossips, in a dozen duleront speculations, winning vast sums only to lose them. Hut ono broad, indisputable fact remained, if all tho rest wcro falso ; he was lying iu tho hospital sick from tho excitement that had put tho last stroke upon his ill-luck. Dinner over, Madgo put on hor bon net again "I'm going over to tbo hospital Jack,' sho said Only a grunt answered hor, but sho would not bo put off by Jaok's sour jookh, aud wont on her errand. Here, upon a low iron cot-bed, palo and emaciated, but evidently on tho road to recovery, Tom King lay when Madgo Morgan camo up to tho ward with a nurse, her faco so crave and tender that tho strong will aud patient cuduranco ot its usual expression wcro lost in tho pure womanly sympathy that rested there, "My friend!" sho said, taking tho wasted hand oxtonded to hor, and Tom King wondered if over two words hold so muoh as those two. "Why, Madgo,'' ho said prcsontly "do not teel So badly, I m gaining every day. Iho doctor Bays ho will havo rao on my feet in a week, and I'm going abroad again.'' "Again! When yon havo been so un tortunato there." "Eh t Oh, I see?" with an odd look in his oyes ; "you'vo been rcadin tho Newtown Mar, Uulucky, wasn II" "Yos. Hut, Tom I camo to tell you " tho words camo slowly "that I havo Bonio monoy that that is of no use to mo. Hit will start you again, I "You want mo to tako it 1" "You can borrow it, anxious not to hurt his pride, and somo day whon you aro rich you can return it. ' "Yes! I sco 1 Havo you got it with you V "I thought I would bring it with me," sho said, her faco Hushed with pleasure, "aud hero it is." IIo opened tho white envelope and took it out, note, just tin tho lawyer had sont it to her. Tom king laid it on tho broad palm of his hand and stroked it tenderly. "All your wealth, Madgo ?" ho ask od. "Not whilo I hao theso," and si held up her hands. "I am so glad though, that I havo It, llo lav very quiet, looking steadily at tho note for somo minutes : then ho began to speak, his oyes still fixed on tho money, his voice steady but mono tonous, as if ho was reading a story thero : "When I went away nearly three years ago," ho said, "I went to see if I could not shako myself frco from a dream I had. I dreamed that I could wiu tho lovo of a child, a mero slip of a child, who was forced into premature womanhood by trouble, alio was ut terly unconscious of my lovo, but I knew I could not hide it if I stayed be- hie her. (Jut ot her sight, lar lrom tho sound of her voice, tho dieam, in stead of fading became clearer, moro vivid. Day nnd night I dreamed, but I worked as well. 1 pit what money had Into investments that promised wellbut there, I will not speak of that. Providence was morclful. I mil alive, nt last," ho paused there, but a low, sweet voico took up tho story. And tho dream will become rea lity," tho vclco said. "Tho child-wo man did not read ncr own neon, nor understand why nothing In her life met or filled tho longing there. Not until sharp sorrow came, and sho heard of him sho loved Ij ing ill and in povorty and pain, did sho understand that he took all tho lovo she could over know away with him. "And now, juadgo r "It Bhall bo as you say. I lovo you. am young and strong, nnd I think can bo a help and not a burden to you." "Will you bo my wife, Madgo t "Whenovor you will." "Madge, did you think, my dear, that I was ruined 1 I tun a rich man, Madge, bnt I mean to keep this," and his hand closed over tbo note, "ion shall never havo it again, Madge." "I am content, sho answered. And even Jaok was satisfied s some thing of his sullen temper being lost when ho oneo moro found himself on tho road to prosperity. A Word to Delioate People. Without being actual dyspoptic, a great many peoplo suffer from what is termed weak indigestion. Tho symptoms of Bitch a condition of stom ach and intestines aro only too well known j tho feeling of uneasiness after eating, with probably somo degree of distention and flatulence, acid eructa tions, constipation or tho roverso, or tho ono stato alternating with another discomforting or alarming sonsations about tho region of tho heart, swim ming in tho head, noiso in the ears, sleeplessness or non-refreshing slumber, or occasional headaches, gcnoral ennui and weariness, and lastly, nervous symptoms of any or all kinds, not tho least distressing ot which may bo somo of tho many phobias that afflict people with weak digt-stions, from carnipno- bla to hydrophobia. 1 havo had pa tients who no amount ot reasoning would convince that they wcro'not Buf fering ftom hoart-disease ; others who suffered thoy said from incipient softoning of the brain ; somo who had no lungs ; oiuers minus nver.

Well, such people, at all events, have ray sincere sympathy, and my advico to them in the matter of diet is somo- what as follows : Eat moderately : on no account tako what may bo called a full meal. Tako food whenover hungry: for instance, havo breakfast immediately after get ting up, merely going out of doors for live minutes previously. it hungry about 12, havo a cup of coooatina ; d'no at two o'clook off a tender joint, or stoak, or chop, witli potatoes spar ingly and greens, a little soup, and tapioca or rico pudding. No pastry, or BweetP, or cheese. Tako no fluid until you havo nearly finished tho solids. Vary tlio food overy day. Fish only if quite digestible, which it often-times is not ; no veal or pork, but mutton, bcof, gamo and fowl. Fruit beforo breakfast, but not after dinner. Harper's Bazar. Hot Years. In 1302 and 1304, according to a Frenoh periodical, tlio Rhino, Loiro and Seino ran dry. In 1015 the heat throughout Europe becamo excessive. Scotland Buffered particularly in 1025; men and beasts died in scores, lbo heat in soveral departments dining tho summer of 1705 was equal to that in a glass furnace. Meat could bo cooked by merely exposing it to the snn. Not a soul dare venture out between noon and 4 r. m. In 1718 many shops had to closo: tho theaters never opened thoir doors for several months. Not a drop of water fell for six months. In 1773 tho thermometer roso to 118 do grees. In 1779 the heat at Bologna was so great that a groat number of people wcro stifled. Thero was not sufficient air for tho breath, and people had to tako rcfugo tmdor ground. In July, 1783, the heat beoamo intolera ble. Vegetables wore burned up aud fruit dried upon the trees. Tho furni turo and woodwork in dwelling-houses cracked and split open ; meat went bad in an hour. Tho rivers ran dry In sev eral provinces during 1811 : expedients had to bo dovisod for the grinding of corn. In 1822 a protracted heat was accompanied by storms and earth quakes ; during tho drought legions of mico over ran Lorraino and Alsace, committing incalculable daraago. In 1832 tlio heat brought about cholera in Franco ; 20,000 persons fell victims to tho visitation in Paris alooo. In 18 1G tho thermometer marked 125 de grees in tho sun. Tunny Little Ones. A tathor found his son playing on tho front steps. "Edward,' ho said, "what do I see T Aro you not disobeying your grand mother, who just told you not to jump ilnurn tlif'sr. Ktpiw 1'' "No," Baid Edward, "no, indeed grandma didn't tell us not to, papa ! Sho only camo down to tho door and said, 'I wouldn't jump down theso steps, boys,' and I shouldn't think sho would an old lady like her!" "Ariso with tlio lark, and with tho lark to bed," read a little boy from his l'irst Iteader ; then ho stopped a n mont and contemplated tho pioturo a lark at tho head of tho lesson. "Alaratna," ho said, "that lark's toe nails aro so long i d bo atraid to go to bod with linn. ' A little miss asked her father when ho was writing a sermon : "Papa, does God tell you what to writo in a sermon t" After a little consideration tho parent returned nn nflirmntivo an Bwcr. but ho was completely nonpluss cd by tho further question : "Then why do you scratch it out t" Thero was a great parade of soldiers, and little Alary, aged eight years, wont to the door with her pet dog, Gyp, to see tho prooossion movo by. Like nil littlo dogs. Gyp waH sauoy and began to bark. Alary ran upstairs to her mother, exclaiming : "Oh. mamma, oomo downstairs i I'm afraid Gyp will bite tho army."

"Take back tho heart that thou grtv cst," said tho poker player when he pulled for a diamond flush. "Woman has twlco the nerve of man 1" shouts a female orator. Wo don't know nbout that. Women sel dom marry women. A correspondent asks If it is proper to tlonco with a married lady when her husband is looking on. Certainly. Tho danolng is suro to bo very proper Under such circumstances. Statiitioa show that there Is less crime in the United States in propor tion to the population than in any other country in tbo world. Hackmcu on the Canada side of Niagara think every American who oomes there has just robbed a bank. That may account for their charges. "Your manner is very shocking," said tho lady to tho tramp. "Ah," re plied tho tramp, "you noticed it, did you t That's my personal maguotism." "Promiso mo, dear husband," said young Mrs. Nowbride, nffcctionately, to Charles "promiso me nevor, in your darkest hours, ever to commit suicide. 1 am told it may vitiate your life insurance." As he gazed at her soft, rosy cheeks with a look of never-ceasing admlra tion, he was impelled to remark : 'Your cheeks are as beautiful as a peach." "Aro thoy rlpo T " sho aikcd innocent ly. And he immediately wont out nnd bought throe for a quarter. "Do look at that couplo !" whispered Mr. Bass. "Anybody would know thoy wcro just married. How silly ho nets, and right beforo everybody." "Dont be to hard on tho poor fellow,'' replied Air. Hiss ; "ho probably hasn't anybody else to make love to just at present.'' Loco, tbo Weed, acts upon horses and cattle just as alcohol does on man. They loso all appetite for normal food, become apparently intoxicated at times, and finally die from a disease strange ly like delirium tremens. From tho vica comes the California expression, "as bad as a locoed horse." It is not generally known that there is a stone, called tho centre rock, in the rotunda of tho capitol, at Raleigh, N. C, upon which, if a man squarely stands, his words becomo inarticulato to thoso about him. This is upon au thority of tho llaleiyh Nexus, which adds that soveral gentlemen in experi menting recently with" this peculiar stone, all experienced its curious effect. Tho English post-ofiioo department is far ahead of ours in somo respects. Tho postal savings bank established iu 1801 has received in penny and six penny contributions something like S200.000.000. This department also effects lifo insurances and annuities. By paying a penny a week between tho ages of fifteen and sixty a peison is entitled to an annuity of $11 after reaching tho lattor age. Such small savings and small profits would be de spised in this country, but it is quite likely that something similar, though on n largo scale, will somo time be adopted here. With tho masses gov ernment savings banks aud annuities would bo very popular. An Early Writing taper. Alany centuries beforo Christ, Numa left writing upon the papyrus, whence our name, paper, is drived. This plant which was revered as sacred by tho old Egyptians, grows abundantly in shallow streams and marshes in upper Egypt and Syria. Bruco found it growing iu tho river Jordan, and uo tioed a curious fact, that it always pre sented the sharp, angular side of its pear-shaped stem to tho swift current. The stem is eight or ten feet high, two inches in diameter, aud crowned with a fringe of hair like leaves, which cir cle a blossom of slender spikelets. Be neath tho brown Bheath winch envel ops tlio root-stalk of tho dark green plant ho other sheaths which aro very transparent. Theso, when split into thin leaves and dried in tho sun, wcro glued together, and formed the roll of papyrus, on which many of tho ancient writings havo como do ivn to us. This paper was both tloxiblo and durable. Specimens from Pompeii can be Beon in the museum at Naplos. In tho fifth contury papyrus paper, ot which many varieties existed, was largely raanutac- tured at Alexandria, and ranked high in tho commerce of nations. Its uso continued until about seven or eight centuries ago. St. Nicholas. Potatoes in their Jackets. "Should potatoes bo peeled beforo cooking, or should they bo boiled in their jaokots I say most decidedly in jackets," writes Professor Matticn Williams, "and will Btato my reasons. From fifty-threo to fifty-six per cent of tho saline constituents of tho potato is potash, and potash is an important constituent of tho blood so important that in Norway, whoro scurvy onco prevailed very seriously, it has been banished sinco tho introduction of tho potato, and, according to Lang and other authorities, it is owing to tho uso of this vegetablo by a pooplo who formerly wcro insufficiently supplied with salino vegetable food. Potash salts aro freely soluble iu water, and I find that tho water in which potatoes have been boiled contains potash, as may bo proved by boiling it down to concentrate, then filtering, and adding tho usual potasn tost, platinum chloride It is ovident that the sicin of tho pota to must resist this passago of tho pot ash into tho water, though it may not iiniy prevent it. Tho bursting ot tho skin occurs only at quite tho latter stago of tho cookery. Tlio greatest practical authorities on tho potato irishmen appear to uo unanimous) J do not remember to havo scon a lire peeled potato in Ireland. 1 find 1 can at onco detect by tho difference of fla vor whether a potato has beon boiled with or without its jaokct, and this dif forenco is evidently saline."
