Here is an old auntie's prescription for fever and ague which, for forty years, bas proved acme when taken according to di- reetion : Blow out the dust from whole mustard seed, either black or white, and take a tablespoonful before breakfast every morning for three successive days; then omit it three mornings, and again take it three succestive mornings.

Al. J. Aimee& A rronoh Officer's Marriage, When an officer desires to marry, he must inform hie Colonel, Alto sends the Woo, 'nation to the Wm.

Though not actually allowda by the regulations, an .officer in love often provide the necessary dowry for his betroth- ed ; and this is settled upon the bride for her own use and. benefit. Women .E'oisoners. Some of the more modern historians distrust the stories of the Roman prisoner Locusta, and of the women who in Italy sold ague to fana as the best means of sails- fyieg jealousy or hate or greed; but the Hungarian tribunals are trying a case which makes all these legends possible. No less than ten women in the little town of alitrovitz are charged 'with poisoning their husbands with weenie obtained from. ily papers, and they are L only a section of the womenoriginally arrested or suspected. Ihey wereall Apparently tauglie,by a single wontaie Esther Suttee te witult or bet7o: allet, who deliberately instructed at least one disciple, and probably many more. The poisonings, some. sixty ,18 umber, were done with little precaution, and cover a space , of „moo then , ten years, during ell which time a vagunsuspieion has been fleet- ing about. The evidence against the women under trial is said to be overwhelming, and most of them have saved trouble by pleading ecuilty.

Inefluimary, at all events, it does not pre- vent epidemics of crime, though no doubt, the improvement of chemical analysis helps the authorities in detecting and punishing the guilty. . End ota Terrible Career of Crime. In the Birtniugham (Alabama.) jail there died, from consumption, a young man who, since .1884, had eommitted five murders. His name was Henry Smith, aged 24 years, so thatervlunt he begee his'eareer of killing in 1884 he was—only just over 17.. All the • murders were of a most colcablooded and atrocious Character.

His next crime was a, sportive af. fair, intended no doubt to show off his skill with the revolver Walkingajoeg the street one day,wi th a friend, they got in the track of an inoffensive negro. "Watch the nig- ger drop," said Smith to his friend, and pulling out his revolver he fired, and the ne- gro dia drop —a corpse. That was in 1887 and he again escaped arrest. His crowning crime, and as, it turned out his last, wasperpetratecl in 1888; when be quarrelled with amen named Speers.

Happily the practice cf light lacing, though still it fruitful source of illness, does not now occupy it foremost piece anumg the recognized causes of detail. The fact thee it does occasionally stand in this position, however, shoula be noticed by those foolish persons whose false' tastes and vanity have made them the alarmism devotees of a cus- tom so injurious. It should be remembered also that, whatever maybe said of the more evident effects, indirect consequences of thus tightly girding the body can but be exaetly es thriateca They can not but be hurtful.

Chief amen the disorders thus induced. are those which eon - cern the circulation, and it is to the laborin incapacity of a heart thus imprisoned an • impeded, both as regards., the oatflow. and return of blood, that such disastrous conse- quences as occurred not long ago in a Berlin theatre must be attributed. According to the Lancet, One of the Lactresses, who had taken part in an evening performance, and seemed to be perfectly well, was found next morning dead in bed. . Subsequent exambo ation of the body showed thatcleath was due to syncope, and this was attributed to tight lacing, which the deceased had practised in an extreme degree. As regards the persons immecliately affected, the warning conveyed by this incident is obvious. The beauty in ematenr theatrieals lies in their realiem—there is seldom aay acting in them.

Valerie's Love Song, i • A surprise which was prepared by the Em- peror and empress for the Archaucbess Valerieon the eve of her wedding is now being talked, of in Vienna. Our correspondent • there tells us that lettroneBeeeente, the direc- tor of the Court Theatres, was asked to invite a famous Vienna quartetteLto come to Isehl on July 30, and to tell DO one of their corn- ing. From the station they were taken to the house of themastee of coremomes, put into a room alone and given four copies .of a love song and accompaniment. The song, which bore neither the name of the poet nor the composer, they ti ere asked to study. An ample repast was sent them, and they were directed to remain there until they were sent for. At night, when the fires on the mountains were extinguished and the moon shone a light over woods aud hills, they wereled to the imperial villa and 'placed under a group of trees opposite the front terrace. At a sig- nal agreed upon they were to begin their song. They heard talking in the apartment winehopens . out upon the balcony. Pres- ently the Empress appeared with her arm round her daughter. Close behinathein fol. lowed the Emperor with the bridegroom. •As they stood silent on the balcony gazing at the truly beautiful scenery, Prince Rohm. lohe gave the signal and from beneath the trees rose sweetly the notes of the tender love Leong,: the words and music ot whieh had been composed by the young 'bride. Her eyes overflowed with 'grateful tears as she looked from her fether to her mother. • The *Emperor afterwards went 'below . anti gave each Singer a handsome diamond scarf - pin, thanking them at the same tirae for their rend -Emig of the song. ‘. Expedition Against Slave-liunters. Cardinal Lavigerie means business most undoubtedly in Africa. According to Mon. seigneur 13rnicae, Director -General of the Anti-Slevery Society, the question of form- iug a volunteer corps for an expedition into the Sahara will be one of the chief subjects of discussion at the General Congress of the Opponents of Slavery which is to assemble in Paris on Sept. 22. The organization of a corps of this kind. was suggested by Car- ainal Levigerie himself, and has-been ap- proved of at the Brussels Congress. His Eminence hopes, so the Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says, to raise a band of 200 men, who will not be raw recruits, but seasonea soldiers of the lerenels Array, Ind he is ready to march through the des - art -with them as their chief chaplain. The object of the expedition will be the repees- :ion of slavery, and the punishmerit, if nem 3essary, of hostile tribes whohave pillage& and laid waste some of the desertcases. Of course the French Goverment will have to eive its sanction to the employment of sold- iers of the nrmy of Africa for these pun poses, but Cardinal Latigerie is sanguine as to the result of his application for troops to enable him to carry out his rather bold pro.

How a Cyclone Made a Rich Man of Mira. He was it Western man and be was telling were' gentlemen in tbe smoking -me all about the natured advantege al the IN ild and 'woolly west— " Don't have ceedones out there some- times t" asked, of hien.

There wore no buildiugs of any kind upon the place when I bought it—at least nothing but a cyclone cellar. In this cellar the former occupant of the plum heel been content to dwell with his family, mad here too my wife and I nod our two small children passea onr first night upon the farm. Now, gentlemen comes the strangest part of my story. As 1 out erged from our cellar on the following morning tlte first thing that zny reprieving eyes beheld were a beautiful, house and barn ripen my place. I enterea the home mild found thatit was furnished througlt out in the mest elegant shape end it fine stock of provisions in the pantry. After gosng through the house 1 next visited the barn.

"But," said one of the gentlemen in s hesitating way, as if be hated to suggest the idea, "are you not afraid that another cy- clone may come alongsome time and Mlle the house and barn again ?"

When Love is at its Best, As tired children go at candle light, The glow in their young eyes quenched with the sun, Almost too languid now that play is done To seek their father's knee and say "Good night ;" So to our great Father out of sight, 'When the brief gamut of the day is run, Defeats endured, and petty triumphs won, We kneel and listlessly His care melte. IThen widen° sense of gain, no tender thrill; As wheu we leave the presence of a friend, No lingering content oar souls' to steep, 13' tit rec!reening eta galht and inset still, We turo the leaf upon the cluladay's end, And, oarless, drift eut to elle 440 of sleep. Not such is prayer when love is at its best, And if our lagging soul de isot outsose The words we. utter, though our obember Jlooe . Be hallowed by our knees, 'Were vainly , pressed.
