Be tfra. p-nson wer- st Hiding, gazing apparently iu the air. O hers soon j iu ed tlrem, until s Ir a crowd was gathered that the way was completely blocked. &n the wind ws along tbe street were thronged wi'h p-- p'e, and a num ber of persons were shco on the tops of the houses in the neighborhood. And whai Jo you think th:y saw ? Chuging for dear lifd to a jotting ornament near the top of a tall church steeple that pointed straight up Into the soft evening air was a Mack ct. "II iw did it gt there?" was the Cist (piesMon everyone asked, and "How will it get down?" was the next. The poor creature was looking down, and at frequent iutervla it u'.trred a pit iful cry, as if calling the crowd below for help. Once It slipped and fell a shot t distance dowu the sloping side of tbe eteenle, and an exclamation of pity cam' from the ciowd, now mttnsly interested in its face. Luckily the cat's paws caught ou another projection, and for the moment it was safe. Some looker-on suggested that it be shot iu order to save it from the more dreadful death that seemed to await it ; but no one was willing to fun the shot. Ere Ion a little window some distance above the place where th cat was cling ing was seen to open. Two boys had determined to save it ; they had mount ed the staiis to where the bell hung, and then by a ladder had reached tbe win dow. They hud tak n a board up with them, and they now pushed one end of It out or the window and lowered it till it whs within re ich of the cat. Tnen by eticourapii.g words and atgtis they tred to persuade the creature to step on the plank. Puss seemed to understand and put out one paw, but drew it back imui'd ately ; and at that instant one of the boys accidentally let go his hold, tho board turned over, and the cat would have certainly beeu dashed to the ground ' bad it trusted that means of escape. The boys withdrew the board, and soon re-apcaring at the window, were seen to be lowering a basket down on the side of the steep'e. Pussy, having now ceased to cry, watched it as it slow ly c une nearer and nearer. When it was within reach, the cat carefully put out one paw and took hold of one side of the basket, then as carefully repeated the action with the other paw, then drew itself up, and with a violent effort flung itself over the side and into the bottom of the basket. The nex: moment it was eaMy dr awn up to the window, amid lou I cheers from the spectators below. Torre llaute's Madstone. The Indianapolis Journal says: "T.'i rM II nirt.-3 uii lstoti, with its eik'hfy yrars' record of hundreds of ap plications, has twice more been used within the pust wet-k. Mr. J.is. Walker, of living's Station, on the Indianapolis ami S'. Louis, in Illinois, brought his little Kirl here yesterday. She had been I bitten by a d' that shwrd every sign i of i.einn rabid.

III., was brought here terribly ' larrt'taled by the bites or a dij that bad ! died with rabit-s, aud had bitten other ' dotrs that also died, as supposed, from the same disea.se. The stone inimedi- j atelj adhered to one of the wounds, acd j could not bere0iov d for fourteen hours, ' when it dropped off. During the time I the stone took on a d.irk cwlor. It was clearest d in sweet milk, and again ap- j p'ied, adhering to the tl- sh for ten ! hours, after which il failed to adhere on ! seral applications. Miss IIiover re I turned to her home, and word is received that she is se;iddy improving. " i Dl kino our civil war inducements were held out for Mexicans to raise cor- ; ton in Cumpetition with our Southern j States. From the climate and tempera- 1 ture of Mexico It Would seem that some- ! thing might be doae in this direction. I The first receipts of M-xican cotton in ! threat Britain were no'ed in lU, when f I.aS pounds were credited. In IStVJ 1 Mexico shipped over ri dNi tmO pounds, ' iu 11:5, upwards of 10,CHHJ,(MXt p)ur.ds, i in 1m',4. -.2.-,uhu) pounds, and in 1S05 ' nearly :JT,ii)0,0(X pounds; yet in 1W, the I Mexican shipment of ctten to Great I .

Iu point of j fact, Mexico has finally become a cot j ten consuming country, and the pros ' pect is that for many years to come she 1 will goon increasing her cotten acteag', aud striving msiuly to supply her on needi as far as possible. j The word "household" is of very old ' origin and nieaus thse who dwell uoder ' the same root and compose a family. ' "Woman was the name first given to the ' female of the human race and was for- j merly written wif mana (wife.) The ' term lady Is of Angle-Saxon origin, meaning bread server. It was formertv the custom of the lady of the aianor to ! distribute hre:nl at auu. irt-.. i i on gala days to her tenants; hence the r.ame, lady or bread server. Any woman by former English custom, whose hus band was not of lower rark than knight. was enut eu to tie ct'.led lady.

As all diseases are supposed by them to be, rot a disturbance of of nat ural actions of the body, but tbe effects produced by tbe presense of an evil spir it or several of them in the human econ omy ; consequently the remedy consists of something that will drive out the demons, and this can be done only through the agency of spirits opposed tq those already in possession. Tne term "me Jicine" consequently means something possessing in itself a spirit of tbe right s -rt to oust the ma lignant powers. A remedy, as we un derstand it, cannot be conceived by th savage; he has no word having such siguiGcaoce iu bis voobulary. Like all savages, tbe Indian believes tbe entire universe is filled with powers, individuals who are more or less human in character, and swayed by motives similar ro t)ose which move orlinarv humanity. Everything, animate oi in animate, has its own individual spirit or ''elemental," which survives long after the original has disappeared. Hence the warrior is buried with bis arms, for use in tbe future state of exlstance. Tne friendly powers of the earth and air are bound to do Lim good by reason of their original nature, but those which are able to do him barm are fUtttred and placated in every way be can think will serve this purpose. The malignant powers are supposed to be moved by tbe human passions, and some of them are thought to be easily frightened, others may be cajoled, while some ard extreme ly revengeful and hardly to be influenced by man. V by Some Lakes are Salt. The ciuse of the sa'.tness of some American lakes is too patent to require many words of explanation. It is probable that, when the continents were raised from the sea, the lake-basins had been already formed, acd came up, therefore, brimful of water. In tbe northern and eastern part of the conti nent, where the supply from rain and snowfall exceeds the loss by evapora tion, the salt, being continuously car ried away through their outlets, has become so diluted as to be an impercep tible quantity. In arid regions, as tbe Pacific slope and the country about tbe Caspian, where the evaporation was in excess of the supply, the water-level of the lak continuously sank nntil, on account of the diminished extent of surface, tbe eqmlibriam of loss and gain was attained. Hence tbe exceed ing saltness of Great Salt Lake, tbe Dead S?a, etc. For a like reason the water of the Mediterranean contains more salt relatively than that of the ocean. Evaporation exceeding tbe supplies from the rivers and rainfall, it requires a constant current through the Strait of Gibraltar. The same is true of the lied Sea, causing a like current through the Strait of Bb-el-ilm-deb. Other salt or brackish lakes probably owe tbeir saltness to tbe supplies from tbe land. Water being the most gen eral of a'.l solvents, the rains gather up the chloride of sodium from the soils and the disintegrating rocks, and where the streams fall into lake? whose only outlet is evaporation, tbe land itself ! must be a constant source of saline sup ply, and their waters must become more and moro salt, until tbeir capacity as a solvent has been reached. The Utah Basin must once have been jlled to its biim with ocean water. The outlet has been evaporation. The lake, receding to its present level, has left many evidences of its former extent. ITr.Ith naxlml. Tbe following health maxim are part lea larly timely : "Don't worry." Don't hurry. "Too awlft arrives as tardy as too slow." Simplify, simplify, simplify." Don't overeat Don't starve. "Let your moderation bo known to all men." Court the fresh air and niRht. "Oh, if yon knew what was in the air ?" Sleep and rest abundantly. Sleep is Na ture's benediction. Spend less nervous energy each day than you make. Be cheerful. "A light heart lives Jong." Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so Is he." "Seek peace and pursue it." "Work like a man ; but don't be worked to death." Avoid passion and excitement. A mo men'e anger may be fatal. Associate with healthy people. Health is contagious as disease. Don't carry tbe whole world on your shoulders, far less the universe. Trust the Eternal. Never despair. "Lost hope is a fata! disease." "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye keep them." It is estimated that precious stones valued at over $3,000,000, are annually imported into tha United States. It is calculated that gems to half tbat value are smuggled. The schemes for hood winking the authorities are so varied and iuteresting as to merit mention.

" cxprecees the feeling of many victimi cf rbeumatUm, neuralgia, sciatica and ner vous or sick headache. Having tried numberless so-called remedies, and physi cians of all schools, without relief, there tenia to be no hope. Many such have as a last resort tried Athlophoros, and to iheir surprise and joy have found that it was a afe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not an experiment; thousands have been cured by its use and they testify as to its value. Ehekomeko, Dutchess Co". Is . Y.Aug. 20, '86 I took Athlophoros according to direc tions; it caused a ringing in my ear that was not pleasant, it operated on my heart causing a slower and fainter throb, and constipated my bowels. 'When the last dose was taken I did not think much of the medicine: the next day my lamenestf was better, and continued getting Jes nntil it left me. My lameness was in my back, shoulders and neck, and had been for eight months. I was advised to try Athlopho ros by my neighbor, Wm. Jackson, who had taken a bottle of it for a severe attack of lameness in his shoulder and arm. He said "it droTe the lameness right out of me; my head felt strong, and my heart almost stopped beating ; 1 thought I would die, but I came out all right, and have not had any lamenan since." Amosj Bbiggb. Phelps, N. Y, August 13, 1886. I am a practicing physician ; I pre scribed Athlor.horos in a case of inveterate rheumatism of the right shoulder and arm. This case had been of weeks standing yes months and resisted medicine carefully selected, also the use of electric treatmoht. One bottle removed all the trouble. The case remains well, now over a year since using the medicine. G. C.

R Pi ua wJ Bon Indians Paint Their Faces. j Tbe Indians bave, without much ! doubt, been called red men on account I of the universal custom of painting ' tbeir faces and bodies, and for this pur I pose they used fine clays containing dif- ferent ox idles of iron. Sino the estab ' lisbment of their trading stoies tbe ! purchase these ochres to a great extent, but usually have home of a similar char acter which they have themselves found. ' Some advantages are claimad in tbe use j of these paints as a protection against the rigois of tbe climate, both tbe icy winds of tbe north and the torrid sum mers of tbe south, hut I', is also because . of their superstitions in regard to it, viz: that it is conducive to good luck, and ! tbat its original use was in obedience to j the direct command of God. In apply- ing it the In liar ruts a little ocbrend ! grease In tbe palm of his hand, and then j the palms aie rubbed together to thor 1 ouebly mix and obtain tbe proper con j sisteocy ; this is used for the "flat tiuts" and the strlpings and fancy touch s are ! put on afterwards. Some Indians take I more kindly to a particular color, ituag J iningtbat it gives better lusk than an J o'ht-r. When tbe paint is rubbed on the j face tbe'eyes are closed, so tbat tbe lids I may have their full share, and it may be for this reason that some tribes pull cut tbeir eyelashes, as these, by holding an extra allowance, might cause irrita tion of the eyes. The skin of many In dians1 faces, especially that of the nose, becomes full of little holes, caused, no doubt, by tbe paints used. The squaws ordinarily use red for the cheeks, and a blight vermillion does add to their beauty, or rather, in a way, bides their ugliness ; a perpetual atmosphere of smoke,- grease and dirt, with such ac cessories as lopg and fatiguing rides, severe work ajjd rough food is not con ducive to female beauty. War paint, so called, is only an excessive use of any color. After returniDcr from an exDe- ditlon most tribes paint faces black of those who have been out, that being the color of rejoicing. Frequenty th. se j ochres are robbed over the uppers of ! moccasins and on clothing, and at their ! dances horseshoe marks are painted on I their body or on the clothing, and the pony is also decorated in this way. If j one has been wounded, tbe place of the wound is glariLgly represented by red j paint on their historical pictures. J Choked by a Black Snake. ' Karl Kramer, who is now at work frescoing the Interior of Joseph Bryan's ' residence, after getting through with his day '8 work went to the brook a 1 short distance below MordecaPd pond to fish. "While standing on the bank he 1 noticed a large black snake coiled up on ' a log. Mr. Kramer struck at the snake with bis pole to frighten it off, but the snake didn't move. He then thiew a ' rook at it. The snake sprang at hitn ' and fastened its fangs in his trousers. 1 Mr. Kramer seized the snake just below its bead and jerked it upward. Instant- ; ly the snake coiled its body around j Kramers neck and began tightening its ! fold nntil Mr. Kramer was nearly suffo ' cated. lie endeavored to break tbe ' hold but failed. Seeing that unless he i was released from the dealily embrace he would be killed Mr. Kramer, who was growing weak from the struggle, staggered np to a large rock which was a short kistance off and beat the head against it until it was killed. The snake measured tight feet long and six inches around the body. Where Ererybody Carries a Baby or So. Like China, thn pjiccipal produce of Japan Is Children a very great variety it does produce indeed ! They are of all patterns, very numerous, and almost always very small. It really seems to a foieigoer that every bDy and girl in Ja pan that is big enough to carry a baby has one of them on bis or ber back. It is often hard to say which of the two is 1 pk1ce. aiu. i ianm. sawman.i woo.t Tom theyoureer babv. the on h? rri ! !n wlth ,mPr-'i ma.-i,.i.erj-. Ais.,.aii kinds of or the one carrying, they are both so small. But tbe carrying of these chil- dren is not limited to the older children entirely. Fully one-half, if not more, of all the women seen about the streets or houses are also seen carrying babies on their backs. They carry them thus In the streets, In the temples and in the stores. Everywhere von are rnnfrnnti with a cheerful pair of faces, one behind the other, loitering akout for the amuse ment of both often at work, too often visiting friends. But this ever present baby is like its parent, very quiet and contended, now and anon cooing and do zing. A corrtE of Irishmen, who had not been long in this country, met at an inn and called for dinner. As it so happened there was a dish of horseradish grated for dinner. Fat. thinking it was something to be eaten with a spoon. pnt a large spoonful In his mouth. The tears immediately filled his eyes and rolled down bis cheeks. His com panion saw it, and said : "Fat what Is the matter ?" "I was just thinking of my poor father who was hanged in swate Ireland," answered Tat. jemmy soon filled his mouth with the same, and as the tears gushed from his eyes also. Fat says : "What's the matter, what has happened to ye ?" "Ah," says Jemmy, "I was just thinking what a pity it was you were not hanged when your father was."

Working; People are often too Ul to labor, but they haven't time to take medicine and layoff. Simmon Liver Regulator can be taken without caus ing any loss of time, and the system will be built np and Invigorated by it. It has no equal ae preparatory medicine, and can be safely nsed when a doctor cannot be called in. In all common diaeases it will unas sisted by any other medicine, effect a speedy care. - - - Is Life ' Worth Living? That dejenl3 upon the Liver, for if the Lirer is inactive the -whole sys tem if out of order the treath id Lad, digestion poor, head dull or aching, energy and hopefulness gone, the sririts are de pressed, a heavy weight exists after eating, with general despondency and the blues. The Liver is the housekeeper of the health; and a harmless, simple remedy that acts like Nature, does not constipate afterwards or require constant taking, does not interfere with business or pleasure dur ing its use, makes Sim mons Liver Regulator a medical perfection. I have tented Its virtues personally, And know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Throbbing Headache, it la the best medi cine the world ever saw. Have tried forty ether remedies before Simmons Liver Regulator, and none of them gave more than temporary relief, but the KegulaMn not only relieved but cured. Ifc 11. I one Macon.
