with the oxygen of our a mosphere as to form such an explosive compound that the lighting of a single match would produce a mighty flame which, in an nstant, ‘vould consume every living thing on the eurface of the earth.

Still further, since water is the reealt of burning hydrogen gas in oxvgen, this same fierce ard terrible flame would be as Spee lily followed by a nu ighty Jeluge of water, enveloping the entire surface of our own panet. If the body of the comet were not of av inflammable vature, but com-

LAMPS AND THEIR VALUE.

They Are Less Injurious to the Eyes Thar Other Artificial Lights,

Even young eyes suffer by tho use for reading or working of flickering gas. The lamp flame i# steady, sofs in color and grateful to the eyes, Formerly the clumey student lamp was the only really reliable one for reading, but the “‘Jamp craze’’ has evolved a multitude of new patent burn- ers, all of them good and all of them rea- senable in price. Foran couple of dollars one can buy an excellent lamp complete with green porcelain shade. For three or four dollars a really handsome one may be had. Whatever the quality, in shape the reading lamp should be low, with a goed broad base, so that it stands securely.

There is no one article tn the house, ex- cepting perhaps good beds, that ean give ras much solid comfort as lamps for read- ing and working by. «Every grown mem- ber of the family should possess one. There

be one cf extra lighting power on

he children's study table, the library and sitting room tables. ~~ :

We all do without-many things that would add to our comfort in life, not be- cause we are obliged to do so, but from lack of Knowledge or thought. I¢ is not wise to coddle oneself, to search for mew wants, to make new necessities which an- chor us to one place because we cannot be comfortable clsewheré, but @ ‘personal lamp {s a sensible luxury of indulgence, and the sooner it becomes a necessity the better is our prospect of continued \zood eyesight, not to mention the splendid rev- enue of comfort enjoyed through all the evenings of our life.—KMa Mortis Kretseh- mar in Woman’s Home Companign. ~

A Good Exercise For the Back.

A good exercise for the spinal muacles consists of the following movements: Stand erect, with the feet together, and rise upon the toes; then gradually sink down by bending the knees until the thigh and calf are doubled upon! each other. The trunk should be erect all the time and especial attentipn paid to the spine, keep- ing it straight. If a person will remove the clothing and hang by the arms, all tension is removed from the spine, and a second person can determine if the spinal curvature can be removed or not. If, when hanging in this position, the spine is straight, there ig no reason why it can- not be cured, but if it is crooked when hanging there is little hope of doing more than keeping it from growing worse, and this is very impertant. In the department of medico gymnastics ina large gymna- cium this is the way they examine such cases. A teacher says, ‘‘Any movements which do not present any resisting force (meaning apparatus) can be safely taken to benefit slight spinal curvature. ’’—New York Ledger.

Gentlemen In Court.

At an assize court the late Justice Manile was engaged in passing sentence on a pris- aQner when one of the officers of the court annoyed him by crossing the gangway be- neath him with papers fur members of the, bar. ‘‘Don’t youknow,”’ cried the judge, severely addressing the official culprit, “that you ought never to pass between two gentlemen when one of them is ad- dressing the other?’ Having thus relieved his mind, the judge proceeded to pass sen- tence of seven yeats’ pefin) servitnde on the other gentleman.—Household Words.

BURGLARY IN 1745.

No Wonder a Neward Was Offered by tho Suffering Citizens,

The protection of rroperty, real and per- sonal, in this city in 1745 was less thor- ough and less systematic perhaps than i is in these days when the maintenance of the police department costs $6,000,000 a year and the value of property delivered to the precinct houses and to the property clerk at headquarters is more than $750,- QOOU a year, but whatever the local arrange- ments were for the protection of property, they were, if the statements of the local chronicles of the city are to be believed, inadequate in the case of Patrick Phegan, a resident New Yorker, who offered a re- ward of £38 and all reasonable charges for the recovery of property taken from his residence under the flagrantly indefensible conditions following, as recited by Phegan in a proclamation addressed to ‘‘the good people of the king’s colony:’’

Whereas about 12 o'clock on Saturday night

last one Timothy Long, jeyne7, aged about 4) years, hes a dent on his upper lip under his right nostril, a sear on his right cheek, is

apout 6 foot high, wears a blue coat, a black crape jacket, a light colored wig, in company with Thomas Powle, a lusty young man, be- longing to the garrison of New York, with the aid and assistance of Judith, wife of Patrick Phegan, the undersigned, did rob the said Phegsn’s house of several sorts of goods (the said Phegan then lying dangerously ill of a violent fever and sickness), among which were a good feather bed, a chest with sundry sorts of foods, a teakettle, a frying pan and many other things.

As may be seen from this, Patrick and Judith were engaged in what in these days would be described as light housekeeping, bué the traditional affection of many weak inembers of the fair sex for a soldier in wuiform led toa larcenous partiality for Powle, a Tommy Atkins of the city garri- son. Phegan’s recital of the details of the robbery and the personal appearance of the male conspirators against his frying pan and teakettle does not include a descrip- tion of the wife of his bosom, Judith, but his apparent deficiency 1s supplied in the second half of the proclamation, which is as follows:

The said Judith is a thin, lively woman, with hazel eves, a small scar on her face: wears sometimes a short scarlet coat, at other times a long black cloak, and has taken her son with her, aged about 4 years, a handsome, lively boy, with his hair eut off lately, only a little lock behind. Whosoever secures the said persons so that they may be brought to jus- tice will have £3 and all reasonable charges paid by PATRICK PHEGAN,

It is not stated whether Long junior, Powle, soldier; Judith, the thin, lively woman, or her son, with his hair cut, was apprehended by the local constables, but it is evident at least that Mr. Phegan recoy- ered from his fever and violent sickness, and the action of Judith seems to have re- lieved him from any possible charge for alimony. Phegan was a grocer, and in an old copy of one of the loca) newspapers there appeared this bulletin, over his sig- nature, one year after.the departure of Judith:

*“We hope all our kind customers as are upwards of ope month in arrears will think that it is now a good time to discharge, the

severe and the grocer is but illy provided to stand the brunt of a long winter if he baye mapy scores.""— New York Sun.

Death Pulls the Trigger.

A man doesn't have to pull the trigger himself in order to commit sui- cide. He doesn’t even need a gun or any kind of weapon. All he need do is work hard and at the. same time neglect bis health. Death, will do the rest. Men nowadays are all in a hurry. They bolt their food, and get indi- gestion and torpid liver. The blood gets impure. When the blood is impure, sooner or later something will ‘‘smash.” The smash will be at the weakest and most overworked a In a marshy country it will probably be malaria and chills. A working man will probably have a bilious attack. A clerk or bookkeeper will have deadly consumption. A business, or pro- fessional man, nervous prostration . or exhaustion.

It isn’t hard to prevent or cure these dis- @ases if the right remedy is taken at the right time. Dr. Pierce's. Golden Medical Discovery makes the appetite keen, diges- ‘tion and assimilation perfect, the liver act- ive, the blood yore and the nerves steady ard strong. It drives out all disease germs. It makes rich, red blood. firm flesh, solid muscle and healthy nerve-fiber... It cures malaria and bilious attacks. It cures nervy- ous prostration and exhaustion, It cures 08 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bron- chial, throat and kindred affections. Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser contains the letters of thousands who have been cured. *

* I have been one of your many patients, by taking Dr. Pieree's medicines,” writes Mrs. Per- tia Cook, of 149 W. 3d St., Covington, Ky. “ Your ‘Favorite Prescription’ and ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ have saved my life when it was de- spaired of.’’
