JAMES McKEE, JEWELEK, AMERICAN WATCHES, Diamond Clocks, Jewelry, Silver and Table Ware, No. 13 FIFTH AVKNUE, One door below Market St., PITTSBURGH, *PA. LOWEST PRICES IN THE TiVQ CITIES, How a Married Woman Goes to Sleep. There is an article going the rounds entitled ''How girls go to sleep." Tbe mnutier in which lliey go to sleep, ac cording to the article, can't hold a cau dle to the way a married woman goes to sleep. Instead of thinking what she should have attendad to befoie going to bed, she thinks of it afterward. While she is revolving these matters in her mind, and while snugly tucked up in bed, the old man in scratching bis legs in front o'' tbe fire, aud wondering how he will [.ay the next month's rent. Suddenly she exclaims : "James, did you lock the door?" "Which door ?" says James. "The cellar door," says she. "No," says James. 'Well, you had better go down and Icck it, for I beard some one in the back yard, last night " Accordingly, James paddles down the stairs, aud locks the door. About tbe time James returns, and is going to bed, she remarks : "Did you shut the stair-door?" "No," says James. "Well, if it is not shut, the cat will get up into the chamber." "Let her come up then," says James ill-naturedly. "My goodness no!"returns his wife, "she'd suck the baby's breath." Then James paddles down stairs again and steps on a tack, and closes the stair door, and curses the cat, and returns to tbe bed-room. Just as he begins to climb into his couch, his wife observes: "I forgot to bring up some water. Suppose you bring up some in the big tin." And so James with a muttered curse, goes dowa into the dark kitchen, aud falls over a chair, aud rasps all the tinware off the wall, in search of the "big" tin, and then jerks the stair-door open and howls: "Where the deuce are the matches?" She gives him a minute direction where to find tbe matches, and adds that she would rather go and get the water her- than have the whole neighborhood raised about it. After which James finds the matches, procures the water, and comes up stairs aud pluuges into bed. Presently his wife savs: "James, lets have an understanding about money matters. Now, next week, I've got to pay " "I don't know what you'll have to pay, and don't care," shouts James, as he lurches around aud jams his face against the wall, "all 1 want is sleep " "That's all very well for j r ou," suaps bis wife, as she pulls the covers vicious ly; you never think of tbe worry and trouble I have. And there is Aramin ta, who I believe is taking the measles." "Let her take 'em" says James. Hereupon she begins to cry softly, but about the time James is lalliug in to a gentle doze, she punches him in the ribs with her elbow, aud says : ' Did you hear that scandal about Mrs. Jones?" "Where ?" says James, sleepily. "Why, Mrs. Jones." "Where?" inquired James. "I declare," said his wife, "you are getting more stupid every day. You know Mrs. .Tones that lives at No. 21 ? Well, day before yesterday, Susan Smith told Mrs. Thomson that Sam Baker had said that Mrs. Jones had Here shepausesand listens. James is snoring in profound slumber. With a snort of rage, she pulls all the cover off him, wraps up in them aud lays awake until 2 A. M , thinking how badly used she is. And that is the way the married woman (;oes to sleep. A Slight Mistake. She was a thin, narrow, dark-visag pd woman with "specs" on, ami she carried a package of tracklets and leaf lets which she scattered broadcast among the sinners in the Oass avenue car in which she rode. When only only one or two of 1 the pamphlets were left a mau got in. He was on his way to the depot, a countrvm tn going home, evidently. He Lad a big water melon which he disposed of tenderly on the seat, next to him, and a glass Hask with a rubber cork stuck boldly out of his coat pocket. "Ileah!" he panted as ho stuck his fare in the bo)(. "Hotter than harvest iu' up here aiu ; t it ?" Everybody looked cold disapproval at him, as good, polite, Christian peo ple do when spoken to in a street car; all but the woman with the tracts." She had fished one out and extended it to him. "Thankee," he said, receiving it in a brown paw, "comic almanac, hey ?" "No, sir," said the woman firmly. "It's to saye your immortal soul Touch not, taste not, handle not the wine," and she pointed with a crooked fore linger to the glass I'ask protruding from his breast pocket. "Oh, I see," said the man, smiling good humoredly on his sour-visaged vis-a-vis; but this bottle ain't for me, ma'am." "Woe unto him that giyeth his neighbor drink," quoted the woman fiercely. "He ain't eggsaetly my neighbor, either," said tin; man. "You see, it's for the new baby, and wife calculates to fetch biiu up by hand, and this bot tle's for him, bless his tootsy. Where's the rigging of it?" and div ing into another pocket he fished out some India rubber tubing, etc. The woman didn't want to finish her disseration on temperai.ee, butgot out without a.-kiug the driver to stop. —A man can no more protect himself agninst the influence of evil company th>iu he can dive into a tar barrel aud conic out unsoilcd. —Byron never uttered truer words than when he said, "Physicians mend or end us."

Chiromancy is one of the many su perstitions which grow out of the true science of astrology. The authors of the system placed the fingers under the rule of the planets. The hand itself is divided into several particular forms, viz : First, the hand elementary or hand with a large palm ; second, the hand necessary or spatuled; third, the hand artistic or conical ; fourth, the hand useful or square hand; fifth, the philosophical or knotted hand; sixth, the psychological or pointed hand ; seventh, the mixed hand. The thumb is very important, and is said to be the test between the wise man and the loo!. According to the length and thickness of the line at the root of the thumb is the intensity of the reasoning will to be judged. Idiots turn the thumbs in and hide them un der the fingers. A small thumb indicates irresolution and vacillation in such matters as result from reason, and not from sentiment or instinct l'eople with small thumbs are governed from the heart, while those with large thumbs from the head. Persons whose lingers tend to bend backward through suppleness and elas ticity are sagacious curious and possess address. Those whose fingers, badly placed, all differ in form toward the ex terior phalange, are wanting in mental stamina. They will b8 foolish and miserable. The hand that, held up to the light, shows neither light nor trans- : parenev, and fleshy fingers kept in ex- ! act parallelism —it is a sign of avarice, j Short and thick fingers denote cruel ty. Fingers long and straggling be long to cheats, humbugs and sharpers. Smooth, transparent fingers are the characteristics of those who are in quisitive aud indiscreet. Talkative ness and levity are indicated by smooth and conical fingers, while strong and knotted lingers show prudence and ca pacity. People who in walking move thv j ir arms and hold their hands firm j are prompt and impetuous. The nails are also supposed to be in dicative of character to a considerable extent. The short squat nails show low habits and and animal tastes; those pointed and slender, refinement; those broad and thick, decision and firmness. Small white spots under the nails indi cate the approach of good luck or the fulfillment of wishes, and cither hap pens when the spots reach the top. A black spot in the same place is a vorv bad sign, and foreshadows misfortune. Chromancy has the merit of being at least more rational than any other kinds of fortune-telling, and no doubt it is possible to be sometimes successful in reading the future by this method. The same may be said as regards cards and dice, all of them depending upon chance for the occasional happiness of the hits. Topsy-Wopsy Business. A man who probably hailed from Buffalo played a powerful mean trick on a Detroit bridal couple at Niagara Falls the other evening. They went to a hotel and registered, h'.;d supper, and then started out for a night view of the Mighty Roarer. They had not gone far when a man called to them and said— "Have you just been married ?" "We have,'' answered the group. "(iqjng to stay here a day or two ?" •'Yes." "Well, I want to say a word to you. I don't want any ducky-deary nonsense around my bouse. I want no popsy wopsv business on the veranda I want no squeezing hands on the bal conies or feeding each other at the table." The groom let his arms fall from his bride's waist in a slow painful manner, and the stranger continued !, Thc first time you call her peaches and cream, or she calls you her darling, out you go !"' "Y-yes, sir." "She's no sweeter than ten thousand other girls, and you're no more a dar ling than I am, and I won't stand love sick nonsense." He walked away with that, and peo ple at the Falls who knew the couple were amazed to hear them addross each other as Mr. and Mrs., nnd to see what precautions they took to prevent touching hands or betraying any symp toms of love. They put in two wretched days, and it was only as they were upon the point of leaving that they discovered how a ba>o villian had duped them. Wonderful Being. There arrived in Philadelphia a few days ago a man who claims to possess the incredible faculty of power of ignit ing paper, straw, leaves, cottoa cloth or other light combustible material merely by breathing upou it with his mouth for a few seconds. He gave an exhibition of his wonderful power in the parlor of'a private residence in that city last evening in the presence of a number of ladies and gentlemen, when in the space of eighty seconds he ignit ed a linen handkerchief aud two folds of heavy linen cloth by pressing them against his mouth and breathing stead* ily and forcibly. This singularly g'fted man is now about twenty-seven years old, of a light brown color, about five feet eleven inches in height, well built, and has a line looking, pleasant and in ; t"Uigent countenance. His name is A. j W. Underwood, but is popularly known j throughout the western country as the : "Fire Blower." He was born in Vigo, a small town about twelve miles south west of Torre ilaute, Indiana, and is j one of a family ol eleven children. His father was a white man, and his moth er nearly white, but with a cast ol negro blood. He first discovered his I wonderful power when about fourteen | years of age, when, in company with | several companions, he was inhaling perfume from a scented handkerchief it suddenly bursted into flame-, burning 1 lli'H severely about the face and bands. A Gettysburg Relic. The Hazelton Sentinel publishes the following incident that occurred at the late encampment of the G. A. R. at Gettysburg: Among the veterans who accompanied the Robinson Post was Johu Schaffer, at present residing in Drifton, who was a member of the 143 d regiment. lie went to Getty burg on Saturday, and ou Sunday while he was rambling over the field with a number of his old comrades he told them he was going to search for his canteen which he had hidden under a flat stone just before going into ac tion ou the first day of the fight. It seems that when his regiment was ordered to move forward John, had procured a piece of fresh beef and in order to cook it he made a frying pan of his canteen by splitting it in half, something ofteu done by soldiers in the army. In the hurry aud excitement of the moment he had no time to prepare his meal and in order to save his fry ing pan he lifted up a flat stone and placed the improvised pan under it with the intention ol finding it again should he return. Contrary to all ex pectations the regiment did not return to the same position, and Schaffer's fry ing pan was forgotten, Having a dis tinct recollection of the spot where it was hidden he had no difficulty last • Sunday in finding the identical flat stone and on raising it there iay the precious old canteen where it had re mained for twenty years. It is said Schaffer almost shed tears of joy on finding the rusty reminder of camp life. Ilis comrades gathered around him and in a few moments the remains of the canteen was divided into small pieces and distributed among them to be preserved as a relic of the battle field of Gettysburg. —The first American inscription upon the obelisk, now standing in Central Park, New York, will be "Use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

I have been treated by the best physicians, and have taken many different remedies that were highly recommended, but grew worse all the time, until I commenced using Rheumatic Syrup, and before I had used one bottle I began to improve, and after taking the syrup four weeks, I was completely cured, aud to day i am as well as ever, and can use my bauds and limbs as freely as when a boy. The effect of the Rheumatic Syrup has been truly wonderful in my case, aud I liud, on inquiry, that it is doiug equally as well in every other ease where it is being used. You are at liberty to use my name as you choose, as I am very glad to be abl« to say, as I can, that the Rheumatic Syrug is one of the best medicines on the market, aud a single trial wiil con viuee anyone of its wonderful merits.
