. I How Uloudin Crossed Madura. - " iTobdin Lal instructed me what I thpuld do. I was to put my weight on bif shoulders with my arms and clasp bit boby about with my legs. But I could not put my weight on his iZ3 ; that would encumter his movement''. I had to keep all the weight on his shoul der. ;'In;Tu!y. IS'50, we went across. I look my place on Blondin's back, and b$ began the descent of the rope on the Canadian side. T5y reason of the fact that I bad to bear my weight on his shoulders and had to use my arms with main strength to support myself, fre quent rests were necessary. I told him when I wanted to rest, and then I drop ped down on one foot and waited till my arms were relieved, when I would spring up again, using only my arms to lift and hold myself in place. There was a great crowd there. I did not see them at first. I did not remember what I thought. From my place on Blondin's back I could look ont to the other shore and see below me the stunted pines thrusting their sharp points up from the edge of the foaming water ready to split ns if we fell. I remember, too, that I was anxious to get over, and recall, too, that the great rope before us made swings from side to side. We after ward knew that the rope swung forty feet in the centre; I felt the necessity of preserving my self-possession and I did It. There was forty feet length between the guys on one side and those on the other that it was impossible to make steady. It was the middle span. Be low us 250 feet roared the river, and over it we swung from side to side, still moving oc steadily, however. Blondin never trembled. When we had gone about ten feet on this middle span some body on the other side pulled the guv line. We afterwards found out it was done intentionally, and the rope was stopped in it swing. Blondin stopped, and his pole went from side to side in a vain effort to secure his balance. At one time it was up and dowii on the right side, at another, up and down on the left, and I recall with wonder that I was only curious to know whether he would succeed in getting control of himself or not. I didn't feel any fear. Failing of getting his balance he started to run across the horrible span, and we safely reached the point where the guy rope came out from the American shore. Then, to steady himself, Blondin put his foot oq the guy rop and tried to stop, but the guy line broke, and with a da-ib of speed he ran swiftly twenty five feet further to the next point, where the guys met the main rope. There he recovered his balance, and whispered rather than said : "Desoendez vous." The perspiration stood out on his neck in great beads, and we balanced our selves on the swaying rope. Presently he said "Allons," and I raised myself to his shoulders and we went on in safe ty and without incident toward the shore. It was not until we landed that 1 realized what had been done. Then it occurred to me that the man who pulled the guy rope was one of those who bet the leat cou'J not bs accom plished and my indignation mastered my reactionary feeling of fear. You see, many thousands of dollars were bet up on the ability of Blondin to carry a tn.in over, and human cupidity stops at no 8 icriQce. Then there were the congrat ulation and the praise of plock and the rest of it, so that in my foolish, boyish elation I forgot everything else. I do remember as we approached the shore the wonderful tableau of 100.000 peo ple who stood gazing at us. Thousands of them turned their faces away, or half turning, cast glances over their should ers at us. I remember their white faces their strained positions of anxiety women who stared, white and motion less, and men who wept, and as we drew near the bank the crowd surged toward us, and Blondin stopped, fearing they would push each other over the preci pice. Then the crowd was still again, and with a quick run we came to the shore and sprar,g to the ground. I re member one man seizii.g rre in his arms and lifting me high in the air, saying : "Thank Cod, this thing is over V Har ry Colcord, in Chuzmjo Xews. Pointer for Advertisers. Don't expect an advertisement to bear fruit in one night. x ou can t eat enough in a week to last for a year, and you can't advertise on that plan, either. j.ue enterprising advertiser proves that he understands how to buy because in advertising be knows how to sell I'eopie- who advertise only once in three months forget that most folks can cot remember anything longer than about seven days. If you can arouse curiosity by an ad vertisement, it is a great point gained x no rair sex uoesn i noia all tbe curi osity in the world. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good time from ever coming Trying to do business without adver tising is like winking at a pretty girl through a pair of green goeg!es. You may know what you are doing, but no body else does. Tece Words.

Genthce s and kind nesaare lavished up n bim to restore bim to manly grace. No one would ever suspect that he had sinned. But when a poor girl has been betrayed, she receives the brand of society and hence forth is driyeu from the ways of virtue The betrayer is honorably received ; but there is no iace for her this side cf the grave. Society has no loving, helping hand for her, no smile of peace, or voice of forgiveness. There is a deep wrong in this, and fearful are the consequen ces.

A great mistake is sometimes made in ventilating cellars and milk houses. The object of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this object often fails of being accomplished by a common mistake and insteau the cellar is marie both warm and damp. A cool pla - e should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than the air : within, or t feast as cool as that, or a very little warmer. The warmer the l air the more moisture it holds in sus ! pension. Necessarily, the cooler the I air the more this moisture is condensed ! and precipitated. When a cool cellar I is aired on a warm day, the entering air I being in motion appears cool; but as it fills the cellar, the cooler air with which it becomes mixed chills it, the moisture becomes condensed, and dew is deposited on the cold walls, and may often be seen running down them in streams. Then the cellar is damp and soon be comes mouldy. To avoid this the win dows should only be opened late at night the last thing before retiring. There is no fear that the night air is unhealthful;'it is as pure as the air of midday, and is really drier. The cool air enters the apartment during the nieht and circulates through it. The window should be closed before sunrise in the morning and kept closed and shaded during the day. If the air of a cellar is damp it may be thoroughly dried by placing in it a peck of fresh lime in an open box. A peck of lime will absorb about teven pounds, or moi-p than three quarts of water, and in this way a cellar or milk room may soon be dried, even in the hottest weather. A bushel of lime absorbs twenty-sevpn J pounds of water, and still appears as a I dry powder. In this condition it ap i pears to be very useful to spread over I the garden or lawn, or around fruit trees, or it may be used for whitewash. This precaution is often necessary in the daijy because of the prevalence, where the air is damp, of mildews and the various forms of mould. The orange and red kinds of mould especially, which sometimes form upon the cream, have most injurious effect upon the b u 1 1 1 e r . American Agriculturist. SnELTEP. IN rASTCRF.3. In Bome sections of the country past ures are supplied with shade trees that serve as a shelter from the rays of a scorching sun and a partial shelter from the pelting of the merciless storm. When this natural provision does cot exist some sort of shelter should be pro vided temporarily. This may be ac complished by erecting one or two sheds without any siding a simple roof that while affordine shelter also admits a free circulation of air. This of course for early spring or late fall shelter when storms prevail would not be as suitable as an enclosed structure. When pastures are so situated as to have no open connection with the barnyard or farm buildings to which the cattle can go for shelter from storms, it would be well to erect a shed with large doors tl at may be thrown open in hot weather or kept closed for stormy weather. A structure of this kind need not be ex pensive nor so elaborate in construction but that any farmer of average capacity c.-nld erect it alone. The roof might be made of boards and replaced when worn or too badly warped. All the lum ner that, need be required would be two sills of the length of the building re quired, six by six inches, two of a length to correspond with the width of the structure; four or six posts of the aime dimensions, six feet long, (as the shelter need not be high), two plates and two cross beams, (or three if the length requires thatthe middle be tied) four by six inches; a ridge pole of the length of the building; two pieces four by four inches to serve as purlin plates, with which to form the roof of the boards, putting them on up and down, and some short pieces to use for braces and to support ridge pole and purlins, and studding for the doois. The Bills may be halved together, also the plates and cross-beams, and the posts cut square and spiked. Such a structure twelve by twenty feet would require about GOO feet of lumber and 1,000 feet of boards and a few pounds of nails. Is there a farmer who is unwilling to do so little for the comfort of his animals? GermanUrwn Telegraph. WllERE THE XeGBO 13 INDIGENTJ- ors. It is a common mistake to regard the term negro as synonomous with Af rica. The word negro does not denote a nation, but an ideal type constituted hy the assemblage of certain physical characteristics exemplified inthe natives of certain portions of Africa and their descendants in America and the West Indies. As a rule, the prevalent color in Africa is that of the Arab, Indian and Australian. The true negro dis tricts are the Senegal, the Gambia, the Niger and the intermediate rivers of the coast, parts of Sudania, Sennaar, Kar dofan and Darf ur. Teople who are cer tainly not negroes inhabit the whole coast of the Mediterranean, the desert, the Kaffir and nottentot areaa south of the Hue, Abyssinia and the middle and lower Nile. This does not leave much territory for the typical negro. An Inexpensive Hammock. The season for hammocks is here, says a wri ter in an exchange, and I will tell you a comfortable one. Bring your old flour barrel from the cellar or store room, knock it to pieces and clean and paint the staves. Procure a rope four times in length of the place it is to be suspen ded, and in size a little larger than a clothes line. Now halve yonr rope, double each piece in the middle, and commencing two yards or so from the end, weave it over and nnder each stave about three inches from the end of each one, which will bring the rope crossed between each ; do both sides the same and yonr hammock is complete. One end of the rope should be fastened up higher than the other, At first this may not seem firm, but when there is any weight on it the rope becomes 'taut' and secure. , a Ti.n.i.oa in making out his re in his cvnrials. isexplicit to a commen- Sony's Fr iDStance' 8nch the best cal 0CCnrs: "Hied.John Smith, thy custodiv.daya' "mrried."

The Koiind-l'p ofthe UypIes Every year as soon as the win ter snow begins to melt on nearly every road within a radius o? 500 miles of Chicago, gypsy trains can be seen wending their way to the metropolis. The suburbs of Chicago are the yearly meeting-place of all the gypsy familes of the West and South. Often these families, such as the Stanley and Butler tribes, number hundreds of persons. They camp conveniently near the city. Few of the Romany folks can write,and there is little exchanging of letters among kin. The time passed near the city is the visiting period when rela tives learn of each other, and when matches between the gypsy youths. The Romany tenting season about Chi cago usually begins in March. Camp is broken about this time. The tribes scatter, some individual families going in one direction, some in another, to meet again when a year has passed. All winter,before coming to the city's boundaries, the men have been engaged in various country places buying up horses, and fitting them for the mar ket. These horses are brought into the city by the gypsy vender. They are disposed of at handsome profits. The eypsy is, therefore, never poor. In variably he has plenty of ready money. He invests his wealth in no permanent way. Seldom does he entrust !t to the keeping of a bank. If he buys land with it and settles down upon a farm, even for a short time, he is no longer a Rom. Albeit, some of the youngest gyjsies in America have shown a dispo sition within the last few years to ignore the custom of their fathers and settle themselves to the steady calling of farmers. A few are located in cities as horse dealers. The gypsy is prodigal in his expendi tures. He does not save. Everything (hat the market affords in the way of eatables he buys. He is especially fas tidious in regard to the selection of the meats which he eats, and particular about his butter. Nothing is sved from one day's provisions for the next day's meals. Whatever remains is thrown to the dogs or to waste. Gypsy cooking is rude and often unclean, but the eatables are the best that money can buy. The gypsy is not a thief. ITe is no purlr.iner of chickens. He has no need to steal for he has a sufficiency without. He will tell you with justifi able pride that in all the length and breadth of the land not one prison shel ters a gypsy. "We break no law," he will tell you. So he has in this western world, ceased to be a beggar and a thief. He has, however, xersisted in being a vagabond outcast. Yet as such he has prospered. Many a gypsy who camps about Chicago has more than 100,000. Ho k&eps his money in the most idle and careless fashion. It Is wadded in his capacious pocket, tuckled about the crevice of his wagons, hidden in the bedding. As a hor9e-trader he is of necessity a cheat. But he steals nothing. Ii is folly to search gypsy camps for stolen goods or missing children. t'nppintf and Leeching. "I commenced the practice of cup ping and leeching for the cure of many of the ills that man is heir toaome sixty years ago," said Mrs. Harriet O'Connor, aa octogenarian, who resides, still hale and hearty, on Fifth street below South, Philadelphia. "When I started practi cing in this city there were about three hundred persons engaged in the busi ness, and many a struggling artist earned his first dollar in painting the fancy signs that adorned the window sills or hung projecting from the front of the ortice of the leecher. The prac tice has declined within the last few ypars, and at present there are only twelve persons in the whole city follow ing the profession for a livelihood." The leeches used now are brought from Sweden and Norway, although those fonnd in the pine districts of New Jersey are much more preferable. For eign leeches will take from three to five times their weight in blood, six being applied for every fluid ounce of blood to be drawn. When leeches are scarce they are utilized several times before being thrown away, and to compel them to disgorge salt is thrown upon them or they are squeezed with the fingers, great care being taken not to crush them. They are imported iotothis country by a firm whose office i9 in Maiden Lane, New York, who collect orders from its customers, and make but one gereral importation, receiving fully 2,000,000 leeches per yeaj. The average price is about f 3 per thousand and the cost nrice and freight are about $2. The profit is simply enormous. The leeches are packed in moss and shipped in air tight wooden buckets, and must be kept in a cool, dark place. Attempts have been made to breed the foreign leech, but with ro success. Barbers some thirty years ago were not considered proficient in their trade unless possessed of a knowledge of cupping and leeching. Two of the most fashionnble ladies in Austin were conversing a few days ago, when one of them said there was a very dangerous dog in her neighbor hood. nas he bitten anybody?' asked one of the ladies. 'Yesterday he caught a little pig by the ear and bit it terribly.' 'Is that so? If h is that kind of a dog I'm not going to let my child play with it; I can tell you that now.' M. II.
