Mr.'i ltd Bits. Whiffin . were on
their way to the hot springs, where
Mr. W. intended to get relief for his
rheumatism 'in the baths, On leaving
home Mrs.. W. prepared for an
.emergency by taking along mustard
for plasters, with which any pains
incident to the fatigno of railway
travel might be relieved. At a way
station a . drunken travelling man
boarded the train and was put to
bed in the berth next to Mr, and
Mrs. W. by the porter, Shortly
after, Mr. W. woke up with a dread-
ful stitch in his side, Like a good
dutiful wife, Mrs. W. arose and went
to the lavatory to make a strong,
extra strong, mustard plaster with
which to relieve the paia of her liege
lord.
1 On her return she pulled the wrong
curtain aside and placed the plaster
upon the stomach of the senseless
r drunken drummer. Then she went
to the lavatory, washed her hands,
.and returned to her berth, getting
'into the right section and finding Mr.
W. asleep. "Tile plaster has reliev-
ed the pain," said the good woman ;
and with that thought on her hind
she fell asleep.
Nothing disturbed the sleepers ex-
cept the rattle of wheels jumping
rail joints for some minutes. Finally
a loud groan was heard, then these
words: — "Oh my 'stomach, my
.s -t -o -m -a -e -h, oh h h ! " This was
followed by, "I'll never touch another
drop as long as I live. Oh, it's
burning a hole in me, oh h h ! "
:By this time heads were peeping
'out from behind curtains and the
porter was on his way to the travel-
ing man's berth. Of a sudden out
came the bed clothes from tile' travel-
ing man's berth and a cry of "Oh
my, there is my stomach! I'ni dead!"
• The exclamation was topped off by
the mustard plaster being thrown
out on. the aisle of the car. The
porter thea grabbed the drummer
and shook hila until awake. Dur-
ing the first stages of sensibility he
muttered : "Oh my stomach is gone,
gone." --St Paul Pioneer Press.

A Lady's Reason for Not Dancing.
1. Dancing would lead me into
crowded rooms and late flours, which
are injurious to health and usefulness.
2. Dancing would lead me into
very close contact with very per-
nicious company; and evil com-
munications corrupt good manners.
3. Dancing world require me to
use and ,permit freedoms with the
other sex of which I would be hearti-
ly. ashamed,and which I believe to be
wrong.
4. Ministers and good people in
general disapprove of dancing, and I ,
think it is not safe to set myself
against them ; if a thing be even
doubtful, I wish to be on the safe
side.
5. Dancing has a bad name, and I
mean to study things that are pure
and loyal and of:good report.
6, Dancing is generally accompani-
ed by drinking, and drinking pro-
duces agreat deal of evil.
7. I am told 'dancing is a great
temptation and snare to young men,
and I do not wish to have anything
to do with leads: thein astray. •
S. There are plenty of graceful
exercises and cheerful amusements
which have none of the objections

HE WAS PRETTY TOUR,
A BOLO OUTLAW WHO WAS NEVER
CAPTURED.
One 0f Our Neighbors' Rad Citizens and

Pupil—Souse of itis Deeds,
Never in the history of outlawry was
there at more notorious bandit than John
A.Murrell, who operated daring the decade
preceding 1842 along the Georgia and
Florida boundary line and in portions of
Alabama and Mississippi. For years his
crimes formed the darkest unwritten page
in the history of the country.
Murrell was taught by maternal example
to be a thief and robber.
Young Murrell asked a notorious set of
gamblers to join his band. Tliey laughed
at him. He left the room and in the dark-
ness of the night secured a dozen horses
belonging to the gamblers and fled.
Mussel made a successful raid one bight
in Alabatma at a country church where he
had just preached a sermon. Ile rode oft'
in the darkness, leading a drove of the
finest horsesin the community. IIe crossed
the Chatalloochee river and never halted
until he reached' Georgia.
He was walking along the road near
Thomasville shortly afterward and saw a
young roan corning toward him.
"Where aro you going, my friend P' ask-
ed Murrell,
repl"I am not going your way," was the
y,
"Well," said Murrell, "if I can't have
the pleasure of your company, won't you
turn over your money to me ?"
The youngster was covered with a pis-
tol and came to a halt.
His hands went up, but by some means
he made a brave reach for his pistol.
Murrell saw the movement and sent a
bullet through the young inan's heart.
The dead body was buried in a lime sink.
Murrell organized a band of highwaymen
and he was chief. I•Iis word was law, and
perfect obedience was required or death
was the penalty.
So perfect was the organization and sys-
tem of operations under Murrell that not
until near the end of the Murrellites' ex-
istence was it known that there was a
lawless band of whites in that•section.
The Murrellites used secret signs and held
their meetings in calves and swamps.
A few Indians' of the Seminole tribe were
scattered
l ro a
l there throughout
soil
1-
ern Georgia, and the crimes committed by
the Murrellites were charged to them.
Companies of whites were formed.to war
against the Indians. Finally the Semi-
noles were driven into Florida, where
they sought refuge in the Everglades.
After the Incliai,ns left the country horri-
ble crimes were perpetrated throughout
that section.
Whole families were brutally butchered.
Men were shot down at work and helpless
women and children were beaten to death
with clubs. !louses and barns were plun-
dered and then burned, Lives and pro-
perty were hourly in danger of destine.
tion. Victims cried foie -mercy ip vain—
there was none shown. The crimes were
not )arid at the door of John A. ,Murrill or
his band.
The assassins wore moccasins, feathers
on their lreacls, and red paint on their
feces and hands, and indulged in great war
Whoops.
''Tremendous excitement filled the whole
section. Doors were barred at night. and
in the day men stood guard at their
homes.
'Work on the farms and in the shops and
stores was abandoned. Many residents fled
to the North and left their Homes to the
mercy of the bandits. It was at this time,
early in 1842, that Gen. William Bailey, a
wealthy citizen of Monticello, Fla., began
the organization of a band for the suppres-
sion of crime in that section.
Ho had studied the situation carefully
and came to the conclusion that, as since
the Indians had fled to the Everglades the
crimes in his section had not decreased, but
instead had increased to an alarming ex-
tent, the red roan was not the guilty one.
Ile organizer) a band of spies known as the
"regulators."
James Ellenwoocl of that place was a
regulator. Ile is now in his eightieth year
and is thoroughly familiar with the times
in which the Murrellites operated.
In speaking of the regulators and the
final history of the Murrellites, Mr. ElIen-
wood says:
"After the 'regulators' were thoroughly
organized there was a horrible murder
near 5t. Marks. Fla, A well-known young
man left Monticello, Fla., for 5t Marks.
He had on his person a large sum of gold
and bills, . Before reaching 55. Marks the
Murrellites fell upon him and murdered
him. A man named Youmans, who was a
notorious -character, was suspected of the
murder.
"He was captured by the regulators and
finally confessed that he knew all about
the murder.
"He said John A. Murrell and a large
band of robbers had committed the mur-
der. Youmans was made to stand on the
rear end of a wagon and a rope was fasten-
ed
asteii-ed to an oak limb over his head and then
adjitsted to his neck.
"He confessed that the Zftirrellites were
guilty of many crimes charged to the In-
dians. He said Jack Jewell was a Mur-
reliite and was the meanest Man under
Murrell.
"When he was told to slake his lienee
with God, Youmans asked for a Bible.
One was handed trial,
"With a bible in his and and a song in
his month, Youmans met Iris death.
"Jaek Jewell was next caught and
hanged near the piaci, of Minimum' death.
No confession could be obtained from him.
"lie wus taken to a place bear where
Youmat)ts•was hanged and there swung to
a limb until death came,
" John, A. Murrell, the chief of the Mnr-
rellites, was never raptured, but died a
natural death .among strangers. lfe made
to confessions and never made any disposi-
tion of his property. It was supposed that
Murrell was immensely rich, and several
attempts have been made to discover the
enterea.itnuts of the hidden wealth,"
JOHN BULL IN AFRICA,
The Crotty Old Gentternan Now Owns
About i,400,000 Square Dulles.
The. latest acquisition of African terri-
tory gives Great Britain an unbroken line
across the length of Africa front the liecli-
terratalean and the Nilo to the extreme
point of the continent. In all, this terri-
tory, held in various ways, from Cape
Colony up to the "occupation" of Egypt, is
in extent about 1,400,00) square miles, and
has a population of 20,000,000, In the Nile
Valley it includes incomparably the best
of North Africa, In ITganda it holds the
key to the lakes of central Africa, nearly
as large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west of Lake
Tanganyika, considerably higher and
healthier than the eastern, in German
hands. The new conquests of the British
South Africa rompnny add the great
table lands of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men live.
Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the only
vital European settlement in all Africa.
As it stands, this great highway holds two-
thirds of all of Africa in which Europeans
can live and carry on efficient adnsinistra-
tion. It has the most fertile tract in the
continent in Egypt, its healthiest in Cape
Town, its greatest gold mines and the only
region from which tropical Africa can be
controlled. Still more important is its re-
lation to African water courses. A steam-
er can start at Alexandria and run, when
the irlalidi's successor is cleared taivaay, to a
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 125 miles
from Lake 'Tanganyika. This rens to
within seventy miles of Lake Nyassa.
From this lake the Shire River, broken at
Murchison Falls, descends to the Zambesi
and the Indian Ocean. From a navigable
point on the Congo it is less than 100 miles
to Lake Tanganyika. The Aruwini runs
as near the Nile. ft is possible to start at
tI1e mouth of the Zambesi and reach the
mouth of the Congo or Nile with less than
200 miles of land to travel, and the key and
centre to this great system is now in Eng-
lish hands.
liow to Live a Century.
First, live as m1101 at possible out of
doors, never letting a day pass without
spending at least three or four hours in
the open air.
Second, keep all the powers of mind and
body occupied. in congenial work. The
snuscles should be developed and the mind
kept active.
Third, avoid excesses of all kinds,
whether of food, drink or of whatever

ninth, never despair. 13e cheerful at '

'Never let the trials of one day pass over to

The period front fifty to seventy-five
should not be passed in idleness or aband-
onment of all work. dere is wlwre at great
many men fail They resign all care and
interest in worldly affairs and rest of body

business and retire to private life, which
in too many cases proves to be a suicidal
l.olfcy,
During the next period—the period from
. seventy-five to one hundred years, while
powers of life are at their lowest ebb—one

Bronchitis is a most prolific cause of death
in the aged. During this last period i;est.

Anybody who can follow these direc-
tions ought to live to be one hundred
years old at least. There is always this
comfort, however: if we cannot live up to
our ideas always, we can at least, try our
best to do so, and the steady effort will be
bringing us constantly nearer them.
Sanitation by Sea Water.
The new system of sanitation adopted in
Havre—based upon the electrolysis of sea
water—has Droved a gratifying success.
The electric current decomposes the chlo-
ride of magnesium, while the chloride of
sodium serves as a conductor, the result
being a liquid disinfectant of great power,
being almost odorless, leaving no residu-
um when used for purposes of flushing,
and is entirely inoffensive ; the solid mat-
ter in sewage is instantaneously consumed
in this solution, as well as the organic
)natter, what is left being simply an odor-
less and troubled liquid, incapable of fer-
mentation, and containing only a few
phosphates, the salts of ammonia and the
salts of the disinfectant. Of the two
classes of microbes—anieroble organisms,
existing without air, and serobic organ-
isms, requiring air to live—the action of
this chloride compound on the first is
simple, for, as they cannot live in the
presence of oxygen, their extinction is
swift and sure; the destruction of the mi-
crobes which require free oxygen to sup-
port life is equally certain.
One Canse.
One cause of dyspepsia is emotional
waste of nervous force. The nerve force
is to the physical system what steam is to
the nmchine, In the normal condition of
things it is renewed as fast as it is used.
Taut nature makes to provision for the
immense amount expended by excessive
care, by fuss and worry, by hurry and
drive, by explosions of passion and by the
undue excitements of pleasure. All these
are like a great leakage of steam. The
stclanaci) is the first and largest sharer in
the loss.
Disuse of Slate,
The reasons assigned by the school com-
mittee for the discontinuance of slates,
slate pencils and sponges in the public
schools and the substitution of paper, lead
pencils and rubber erasers in their places
are as follows:
1. A light gray mark upon as slightly
darker grey surface is more or Less indis-
tinct told trying to the eyesight.
2. The resistance of the hard pencil upon
the third slate is trying to the muscles,
and the resistance to which the muscles
are thus trained must be overcome when
beginning to write with pencil orpen upon
paper.
3. The use of slates, slate pencils and
sponges is a very uncleanly custom and
lead to and establishes very uncleanly
habits.-13ostotl Globe,
