A Benton Where Men and Women Wear Next to Nothing. Copt Robt, B. b,oliy, formerly a ship- master be the servico of the Clyde Line, has just returned with Mrs. Kelly from Venezuela, where for twenty-one months he has been engaged in mining pitch in Pitch Lake, near the coast. The lake, 1 which is six nines long, is nothing but pitch, Capt. Kelly says. The blocks are cut out of the lake just as ioe is cut ' from the Hutleon. "They are then carried on the backs of natives to a railway end shipped to the nearest seaport, six miles distant. The pitch is sent north and ultimately, con- verted into pavements. A few hours after the blocks have been out out the holes close up and present an even sur- face. 1 "The 150 miners at the lake, who are Indians, Spaniards and negroee. wear no clothes to speak of. 'When the tempera- ture gets down to seventy degrees they shiver. The W0111011 in the vicinity of the lake are clad just as lightly, with only a bandage about the hips. When my wife iirst went to Venezuela the women flocked from miles around to gaze at a woman who was fully clad. I "rhe forest trees keep out the fresh air and the lake glows like a furpace. The miners have to keep :weeding as tee pitch softens or they would get Muck itt the lake. "Oa all sides are scorpionsnarantulas, snakes, lizards, centipedes and other in- teresting things. The flies are of the size of cherries and they will bite iron. Boa -constrictors are over twenty feet long, and there are all sorts of queer for -footed beasts." The Captain mad Mrs. Kelly expect to reourn to Venezuela in the spring. Was It Telepathy? "A strange ease of telepathy came under my observation recently." said a well-known telegrapher to a group of listeners at the Planters' the other day. "Some years ago there lived in the city an operator and newspaperman named Johnstone, who met with an accident Shat disabled him from work for some months. Nob being very well fixed linen- oially,his little savings were soon exhaust- ed in meeting current expenses and pay- ing dootor'S Wile, until at last he did not • have a cent in the world, and was not yet strong enough to hustle for a living. In this extremity Johnstone approaehed an acquaintance ante told him the situa- tion, and asked for a loan until he could get on his feet again. This was some six or seven years ago. May, the man approached by Johnstone, advanced suffi- cient money to pay outstanding claims and tide over for a few days,until he could. look around and find something to do. This was the last seen of Johnstone in St. I Loui ; he disappeared as completely as though swallowed up in the earth, none of his former aoquaintancee knowing what had become of him. "Now comes the strange part of this story. Monday, December 30, lase, I met May on the street, and during the course or conversation he casually inquired for Jobnstone, asked if I koew whoa had be- come of him, saying that he could not get hirn out of his head—had been thinking of bim all day. I leplied that I did not know whether he was living or dead, had not heard anything about him sinoe he disappeared from Si. Louis some six years ago. May then related his finanoial dealings with Johnstone, and we parted. "New Year's evening a letter was re- ceived by May postmarked at a small town in Colorado, mitten by Johnstone, and containing an express money order for the full amount of the claim. The letter was dated December 30, the very day May had made inquiry of me ?is to whether I knew anything about Jonastone, whether he was alive or dead, How do I account for it? I don't try to explain it. It hi too much for me." Preventing Lightning, The loss of a barn and all the season's crop and frequently, portions if not all of the live stook therein, has become so com- mon of late years, that it forms one of the most serious drawbacks to tanning ill some sections. We notice records of Efteen barns burnt in three Pennsylvania counties during a late storm. We suggest that an investigation be made as to the proportion of barns actually destroyed in this way, which were supplied with a properly constructed lightning conductor, passed sufficiently deep in a moist subsoil, and kept moist by watering, especially before a storm in times of drouth. It is seldom one hears of the dwelling house being struek ; it is the barn and this is tor than the house. more frequently supplied with a conduo-ISIDENCGENERAL HARRISON ON THE PRE- Y. GRATEFUL FARMER. HE SPEAKS VOLUMES OF GOOD SESSE IN A FEW WORDS. The Symptoms of Kidney Disease The Medicine That Always Cures Dodd's A grateful old farmer who had been camel at a hopeless stage of diabetes said: "People ought to buy Dodd's Kidney Pills the same as groceries, and never be without them in the house." The moment any ot the symptoms of kidney disorders are felt, such as chills, fevers, creeping sensations, backaches, headaches, eta, then you ought to take a few doses of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are so much like the stitch in tem°. It is wonderful how like a "shoulder to the wheel" they are for tired kidneys. Except sitting in a draught, over -eating and over drinking has more to do with poor kidney work than any other cause. Then Dodd's Kidney Pills affect us like forgiving our trespasses. What s the cause of sallow,sickly skin, nervousness. depression lack of ambi- tion, hysteria, sleepla4sness, Bright's disease, diabetes, paralysis, female trohbles? The plain unvarnished truth is, the kidneys are failing or have failed to do blood filtering work.

The Youth's Companion of February 18th publishes an unusually valuable article for young men, by the Lord, Chief Justice of England, on "The Bar as it Profeasion." Sound advice, taken from a long and. varied. exaerience, and. wise encouragement are given to young and prospective lawyers. It is as readable as a story, yet will bear careful study. Of eloquenceLord. Russell says "The desirable thing is to have something to say; and as to the manner of saying it, Daniel Webster spoke truly in his cele- brated oration itt honor of john Adams when he said, "Clearness, force and earnestness are the qualities which pro- duce conviction.'" Regarding the neces- sary qualificatious for mw: "Love of the preaession for its own sake, and physical health to endure its trials, clear- headed common sense and ability to wait are the main considerations to be taken into account in determining it choice of the bar as aprofession. If the youthful aspirant possesses these, success is, hu- manly speaking, certain. The lawyer must remember that while he is fighting for the interests of his client, there are greater interests even than these,. the in- terests of truth and honor; and he must never forget, as Sir Alexander Cockburn well expressed it, "that in the battle his weapon must always be the sword of the soldier and never the dagger of the as- sassinr Il For e next issue of The Companion, the Washington BirthdayNumber Jus- tice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the able in- heritor of a great name, has written an interesting supplement to Lord Russell's article, presenting the subject from an American point -Of view.

Each issue of The Companion contains one or more articles of exceptional value, written by the ablest men and women of the age. No Tails.

The woman of to -day is the nearest approach to perpetual motion that the centuries have thus far evolved. In addi- tion to taking on all manner of new at- tributes, she manages every little while to revive some old interest in which her grandmothers excelled when life was as simple as rushaights and rag carpets. Just now it is needle work, Fancy work, scecalled, ran itself into the ground a few years ago. So mudh of it was devoid of all fancy, and so hopelessly inartistic and senseless, that there was a revulsion of feeling against the enitre kit and boodle of notions with wheal women had been employing their fingers in odd minutes. When the athletic fever was first epidemic among women, fancy work was scorned and scoffed out of sight. A good deal of it will never come back. The tidies that protected nothing, the bows that tied nothing to parcelain, the painted placques that.produced worse shivers than tea -store prize chromes, they are gone, even from the backwoods, where the women are learning that decorated kitchen utensils and "throws" are no better than worsted flowers and hair wreaths.

He well detailthe provisions and methods of electing a, Chief Magistrate, and will have much to say bearmgnpon the eligibility of a Presi- dent for re-election; will give his views as to the length of the Presidential term, and express rather decided opinions rela- tive to the annoyance to which Presidents are subjected. Irmo office seekers. The article is practical, based upon experience and observation, and is very timely. General Harrison belieyes that the fears (expressed by the framers of °lir Constitu- tion) that the power of the office is such as to enable an arabibious incumbent to secure an indefinite succession of terms have never beep. realized. "In practice the popular opinion has limited the eligi- bility of the President to one re-election. But some of our leaden g and most thought- ful public men have challanged the wise doin of the four-year term, and have ad- vocated six years, usually accompanied with a prohibition of a second term. And unless some method can be devised by which a less coosiderable part of the four year term must be giveu to bearing ap- plicants for office and to malting appoint- ments, it would be wise to give the Presi- lent, by extending the time, a better :halite to show what he can do for tlie 3ountry.
