Mere la it light 'breeze right as- tet:n# but the ship is steaming as i'itst ah the wind, and the bails .hong listlessly from the yards 7tnd.11aped against the yards and rQpeto, As one descends the en- gine -room ladder the air feels elope and deadly heavy,alnd I?rings on a dull headache. The engineer on watch is dragging himself Mind as if his limbs were lead, *std. even the engineeredo not seem to 'be going ahead with their Usual energy. As we passed 'through the tunnel which cos• lgected the engine -room with the etoke hole the stifling atmosphere nearly drives us back. There is ippt a breath of air coming down the ventilators, and the heat is eo great that one has a sensation ail of a lump of lead in the ears, and one's voice sounds thick and 'air away. The firemen are stripped to the *aisle and the engineer has very littte more on, being only distin- guishable by the gilt band and '''badge on his cap as he moves about from one furnace to another directing the firemen ,or regulat- ing the water in the boilers. In spite of the heat the fires burn dull, for they get no air, and the firemen,urged on—one might almost say driven—by the en- gineer, 'are doing all they know' with rake and shovel to keep up steam, the perspiration running in streams down their coal -be - .grimed bodies and leaving them striped like zebras. Each man in turn falls back exhausted, and is succeeded by : another, who lays hold of the heavy 'slice' and works the fire through and through; but all to e,, o purpose, for in spite of all -,they can do the steam will not rise. In technical language, 'she is steaming stiff," and, unless the wind changes, or gets stronger, will continue to do so. To keep on at this work with- out drinking is impossible, and the firemen consume an incred- ible quantity of water; but, in epite of all the praise bestowed upon this beverage, it has its dangers when drank to excess, especially in a high temperature and presently one of the men,-vho • had been indulging too freely, is seized with the cramps in the stomach and has to be carried on deck, leaving the rest tearing away at the obstinate fires.

A solid young fellow, who had been writing a letter with a pencil, got up from his seat in Erie•depot ti,; a stroll around, leaving his unfi:. fished letter on the seat. A ulna came in, took the seat to wait JI for his train, and in an absent way 1 picked up the missive. U.e held I it in his hands when the young man returned, and said: 'That's my letter, mister.' 'Well, you can have it,' was the reply. g,'Drd you read it?' 'N—o. That is, t glanced over afew lines of it and noticed that hardly a word was spelled cor- rectly.' 'It is a letter to my girl.' 'Yee.' 'Girl I'm going to marry.' 'Yes.'14 'And 1 don't care a cocked hat about the spelling. What I want to impress on that girl is luv, 1—u—v, and lots of it, for there's sixty acres of land and a sawmill behind her.' 50 A man's definition of a flirt varies widely acdording to whether or not she shows a bis position to flirt with him. It is a melancholy fact and much to be regretted that 'good people who want only what is right often get what is left. When a young man begins to talk about his troubles to a girl it is a sign that it will not be very long before she will be his great- est one.

A plucky four year old baby lives in Oskaloosa, Ia. It is the child of Mrs Wilson, and, while playing about the mouth of a deep well covered by loose boards, fell in. The well is thirty feet deep and contained ten feet of water at the time. The mother saw the child fall, and frantically grabbing a clothesline, lowered it into the well. The child grasped the line, but of course could not hold on tight enough to be drawn up, so the mother tied her end above. "Will pet bold on tiCl mamma runs for papa ?" tremblingly cried the mother to the little one. "Ess," came a brave little sob from below. The mother hurried away and soon returned with the father and several other men, who after much difficulty, rescued the child from its cold bath. The little child was almost unconscious from cold when taken out. The happy mother hugged her rescued one and wept for joy, while the assembled crowd threw up their hats in acknowledgment of the baby's grit—N. Y. World. ']Time will prove my client in - 1 nocent 1' cried Squiljig. 'Your On a farm near Emans, Pa., a argument carries some wait with if,' observed 'the court.

Jack e' corps of harvest hands threw down their rakes, scythes and forks and s,Iuit work, all because a buxom *omen had usidertaken to drive a • reaping machine in the attire of a man. In this part of Pennsyl- vania it is a otrmman thing to see tfarmers' wives and daughters in the bay and grain fields partici- pating in the lighter portion Orf the harvest work. Driving •a mower or reaper is generally con-' ,sidered easy work, but it is done -exclusively by men on account •of the danger a woman would incur 'in getting her shirts caught in the wheels or knives of the machine while intent in'handling the reins. This particular farmer's wife, however, is ,pluoky and original as well as 'buxom., and the otther day she determined to show "the boys" that she ,could master the problem of woman's proper wesrk. So she rigged herself up in a snuff fitting blazer and a pair of her husband's trousers, with a broad - brimmed harvest hat shading her brown rieglets and lightly, mount- ed the reapingmachine. Having mapped out her course she pro- ceeded to drive across the field and mow a broad swarth of rain. At first the 'barvesters,farm hands, men, boys and girls were astonish- ed at the sight and then they thought it was funny. The resale contingent of the harvest hands, however, began to feel jealous as they watched the smart little wo- man drive around the field so • neatly, and thought she was in- 'fringingupon their own particular prerogatives. Besides this, the sun beat down 'upon them opipres- -sively, engaged as they werein hard labor, and finally they de- cided to strike. Fifteen mon ac- cordingly threwdown their imple- ments where they stood and walk- ed off the field, shaking their fists ungallantly at the fair driver .of the soaping machine. They have not yet been prevailed upon to re- turn to work, and the grain in the field remains uncut. t A CATARRH, if„,AT.ARAi4AL btAFNERit—HAY FEU VI A NEW HOME TReATMENT.

Bunting, who be- longs to one of the oldest families of Long Island, has been senten- ced to nine years in the state prison with hard labor, for em- bezzlement of clients' funds. James M. Whipple, of Lehigh township, rode one of his horses over to the brier patch a few days ago, hitching it to a tree, close to a stone wall on Daring Edwin Slater's place. Just over the wall 'there were .tore hives of bees. While stamping and fighting flies the horse knocked a stone from the top of the wall. It struck one of the beehives, and the disturbed bees swarmed out in great numbers and pitched at the horse's head and neck. The horse began to scream terribly and pull at the strap. Whipple was in Slater's house at the time, but when he ran out the horse had yanked itself loose, and was dashing down the road at a break- neck gait. The angry bees had stung it so severely that it tumbl- ed into a ditch by the roadside, and when Whipple had got there the poor animal was in the agonies' of death. The horse was worth $175. 50 The CLINTON New ERA, admitted Iso he one of the best local paper. in Ontario, will be sent to new auhsoribers, for the Want e of the yea•, for b0 cent. cash. RERORTING RAPID TALK. "Speaking of rapid talk make makes me think of the time I was sent to report a lecture by Henry Ward Beecher,' said the mayor's private secretary, Tom O'Neil, at the Press Club the other day. 'I was something of a stenographer and bad always been'able to keep pace with every man I bad been assigned to take. So, with no misgivings, I sharpened my pen- cil and took my seat at tho re- porter's table, and waited for the distinguished divine to begin. The subjeet was 'Evolution,' which, in those days, I know absolutely nothing about. Well, he started in, and for a minute everything went all right. The second minute be took a spurt, and I found myself pushing my pencil at a high rate of speed. The third minute he puts on more steam and I had to write so fast my pencil got hot and came near setting the paper afire. The fourth minute he spurted 'again and I was lost. He kept on spurting until at last he struck his gait. 'Heavens 1 how he talked. No manuscript, no notes. He just stood up there by his desk with one hand on it, the other by his side. His mouth was open, and without changing the expression of bis face or moving a muscle the words came rolling out one after another like drops of lead from the summit of a shot tower.'— Chicago Journal.
