During the'Civil War, the State of Louis - aria established at Mount Lebanon, in Blen- ville parish, a labratory for the preparation of medicines to be used in the Confederate service. To supply the water needed a, deep well was dug. After the war all the build- ings connected with the laboratory were de- stroyed by fire, and the well remained yawning and uncurbed. Thus it has re- mained ever since, for no one uses it, and it is no one's business to fill it or cover it over. A pine wood has gro n up about it; and the well has long ser ed as a pity fall for animals that stray in that direction. A Louisiana paper say that when a cow or a pig or any other ani al disappears from the neighboring town, it is commonly remarked that the animal is "at the bottom of the well," and that is the last that is said about it. One day recently very fine 'goose, which belonged to e gentle an named Matthews, who lives not far a ay, strayed off in the morning, and in ti Ca evening her brood of gosslings came "ch eping " back without her. It etas surmis d that the goose -might have fallen into the ell. Two days afterw rd Mr. Matthews, rifle in hand, on his way to join a hunting party, passed neir the old ell, and noticed that a large hawk appeare to be greatly interest- ed in something wh ch was going on in the well. _ The Wyk circled round and round above the opening, dive into it, reappeared screaming, and wen down again. After a succession of such mevements the hawk finally emerged fro the well with a great white load in its tal It was the missing goose; and the goose, to Mr. Matthewe' astonishment, had a long black snake hanging from her beak. A shot from the riftbrought the trio to the earth, and the than set about solving the mystery. The snake appeared to have attempted to swallow the goose, head first, for her beak was sticking in his throat, so that he could not gee away nor could she get rid. of him. . Evidently after her fall down the well the goose had found a foothold on a bit of curb- ing, and had there been attacked by the snake, with the singular result described. In that predicament she had been pounced .upon by the hawk. Mr. Matthews killed the snake, bagged the hawk, and restored the goose to the bosom of her grateful family; for she was little the worse for her extraordinary series of,adventures. The hawk was found to measure five feet from tip to tip of its out- stretched wings. • • Story of a Famous Hymn. . The most famous hymn of Mr. Sankey, "The Ninety and Nine," is the subject of an interesting article in the Christian Common- wealth. When leaving Glasgow for Edin- burgh with Mr. Moody, Mr. Sankey stopped at a news-stand and bought a penny religi- ous paper. Glancing over it, his eye fell upon a few little verses in the corner of the page. Turning to Mr. Moody, he said, "I've found my hymn." But Mr. Moody was busily engaged, and did not hear a word. Mr. Sankey did not 'find time to make a tune for the verses, so he pasted them in his music scrap book. One day, they had an unnsallv impreesive meeting in Edinburgh, in whicli Dr. Boner had spoken with great effect on "The Good Shepherd:" At the close of the address Mr. Moody beck., oned to his partner to sing something ap- propriate. At first Mr. Sankey could think of nothing but the twenty-third Psalm, but that he had sung so sften ; his -second thought was 10 sing the verses he had found in the newspaper, but how could that be done when he had no tune for them? Then the thought came and that was to sing the verses, anyway. He put the verses before him touched the keys of the organ, and Doctors Recommend CEYLON' TEA.

'—A bayadere stripe runs around and not up and down. — School girls should not correipond with young men. —When writing to a gentleman begin, "My Dear Mr. Brown." --In entering a church pew the mother should precede -the daughter. —I cannot advise any young man to marry a woman whom he does not love. . — At a- fOrmal "at-home " it is proper to remain abeut twenty minutes. — Do not accept an invitation to visit a family unless it comes from one of the ladies thereof. — When a luncheon is given in honor of a friend her place is at the right of the hostess. — When entering a carriage with a lady allow her to be seated first, and then take the seat opposite to her. —It would be a breach of etiquette not to thank a gentleman when' he has been courteous enough to act as your escort. —Announcement cards ' are sent out as soon after the wedding as is convenient. The sending out of wedding cake is no longer in vogue. —.There could be no daintier nor more useful present for your betrothed on her birthday than a pretty gold watch and chain. — A gentleman who is going to a place of amusement with a lady and her mother should walk on the outer side and offer his arm to the older lady. —Let the invitation to your old friend to make your house his home during his visit to your town, come from your mother, and not from you. —A clergyman's visiting -card should be worded in this way: " Reverend Francis Brown Robinson." The address .should be in the lower left-hand corner. —If your .visitor is a lady she is, when at the table, served first '• if a gentleman, then he is served ,immediately after the ladies of the house have been attended to. --The fact of your sister not being " out " does not interfere with your visiting -card. As the eldest daughter you should have "Miss Robinson" engraved upon it. • — As even well-bred children do not eat when outdoors or in stores or public con- veyances'sorely grown-up girls cannot be excused for bhhaving so improperly in a street car. —Unless you are betrothed to the gentle- man, do not send him a Christmas or birth- day gift. your generosity might be mis- construed into a desire on your part to re- ceive a present from him in return. — P. P. C. means pour prendre conge ; it is written on cards left or sent by post when one leaves a Place not expecting to return to, it permanently. —When a maid servant brings in a cup of tea or chocolate for a visitor she leaves the room after presenting it and takes her tray with her. .Any small salver, covered with a linen doily, is proper for awl service. —The hostess calls on all those who vitit- ed her on her "at home" day. Answers are required to all invitations, except to an "at home" oc a church wedding. Cards answer for one's non-appearance at these two function. , —For a gentleman, linen rather than silk handkerchiefs are preferred. A hemstitch of medium width is the fashionable ,finish, and the initials or monogram are embroid- ered in white cotton, the letters being very finnan, in one corner. —The bride's family furnishes the car- riages for the bridal party and for them- selves. The bridegroom furnishes the flowers for the bride, for the bridesmaids and ushers, and quite frequently nowadays sends a bouquet to the bride's mother. —Pieces of silver sent as wedding pres- ents should, unless for some particular rea- son, be marked with the initials of the bride. The linen furnished by the bride should have the initials of her maiden name upon it. • The Ant Pest. Soon the summer pest, ants, will begin to worry the tidy housekeeper. Here is what is alleged to be a sure remedy. It is in- expensive, and comparatively harmless, at all events : Dissolve 1 lista of corrosive - sublimate in 100 parts of water, which will be a very strong dose. Remove everything from the shelves where the ants are, or the carpet from the floor where they - appear to come up, and pour boiling water all around to kill them and clean the wood. Then pour the corrosive sublimate over the shelves till it reaches all the cracks and crevices, and let it dry in. Then fill your - powder bellows with red pepper, and care- fully blow the cracks and crevices full of that. Cover the shelves with paper, or put your carpet back in place, and you will scarcely be troubled again. Uncle. Sam's Conscience Fund. "The people sending money to the Con- science Fund of the United States Treasury are not known," writes Clifford Howard in the June Ladies Home Journal. "They never present themselves at the Treasury, and they take care to conceal their identity by making their contributions anonymously or under assumed names. In a great many instances the contribution is made through a minister or priest, which is done, perhaps, for the effect of not only more purely hiding the identity of the penitent, but of adding sanoitity to his contribution. Others again make their peace offerings through friends or relatives, and even jailers sometifnes per- form this duty for remorseful criminals. As a further precaution against diacovery many CULISITC0111.7.41.• TUN..

It is always taken for granted that such remittances are intended for the Conscience Fund, as it is reasonable to presume that no one would send money itt that loose fashion unless it were for the pur- pose of expiating some Secret crime against the Government., I "Occasionally some one will remit by check or money -order, in which case, of course, his nartfe becomes known ; and Midst in a great while some man will have the course -se to deliberately confess his guilt and sign his name to the communication ; but such instances are rare, for there appears to be a general fear among these eontritepeople that, although they clear their consciences by making reparation • to the Government, the law may still have the right to lay hold of them for their misdeeds." • The Ideal Schoolhouse. To begin with, mays Mrs. Whiteman in the Atlantic, the entrances of a school house should be made as inviting asthose of a home. If there be a yard, no matter how small, it should have,- first of all, ever- green trees in it or some bit of leafage which, winter or summer, would bring a message from the woods. It should have flowers in their Season, and vines should be planted wherever possible. Within the school every color should be agreeable and harmonious with all' the rest. Ceiling, floor, woodworbi, walls, are so to be treated, as to make a rational and beautiful whole. In entrance hails, for example, where no studying is done, a. fine, pleasing red or cheerful yellow is an excellent choice. In bright, sunny rooms a dull green is at once the Most agreeable color to the eye and per- fect as a background for such objects as casts or photographs. In a room where there is no sunlight -a soft yellow will be found of admirable use. The ceilings should be uniformly of an ivory white tint, which will by refleation conserve light, and will be refined and in key with all other color& The treatment of wood is ,a study in itself, Briefly and for practical .use, wood can be treated in two legitimate ways—either it can be painted with relation to the wall colors, or it can be stained to anticipate the results of time upon wood surfaces. N ight-Work. It has always been said that, the engineer of a railway train has a great deal of un- pleasant responsibility, but according to a little incident told by a engineer, the wife of a man in his occaps,ti n has her trials as well. • - "It's trying work on the mind, air, is engine -driving," said the engineer, in reply to some friendly questions, "and it aint all over with when I go home, either. The switches and signal lights and side tracks get into my head, sir, and they bother me when I'm asleep." "And they bother my wife, too some- times," he added. "The other night she waked me up crying, 'Murder! Murder! Are you trying to kill me,Henry ?'.and there ILwas, sir, 'milling her arm almost out of its socket, with my foot braced against the foot -board, trying to reverse 4" , Unfortunate Illustration, An English journal tells a story, true or invented, to show the danger into which public speakers run when they indulge •in untried object lessons. - The speaker in the present instance was a Tory who was-- ddressing a large audience in Scotland. -n the course of his argil,' mint he took Ifroni his pocket a nut, and held it up between his fingers. "Now, my friends," he said, "this nut represents the whole church question. The shell is the Free Church, good in its way,, but not the best of things. Now crack the shell, and you get the Established Church." At the word he cracked the nut, but, alas ! it was rotten, and the orator wag overwhelmed with derisive cheers. Is °Housekeeping Hard. The revolt a of certain women against housekeeping rs not a revolt against their husbands; it is simply a revolt against their duties. They consider housework hard and monotone and inferior, and con- fess with a cynical frankness that they pre- fer to engross paper, or dabble in art, -sr embroider pillow shams, or sell goods, or in some way make money te pay servants *ho will cook their husbands' dinners, and nurse their babies for them. And theybe- lieve that in this way they show themselves to have superior minds, and ask credit for a deed , which ought to cover them with shame, for actions speak louder than words. And what does such action say? In the first place it asserts that any stranger— even a young, uneducated peasant girl, hired for a few dollars a month—is able to perform the duties of the house mistress and the mother. In the second place, it substitutes a poor ambition for hive, and hand service for heart service. In the third place, it is a visible abasement of the loftiest duties of womanhood to the capacity of the lowest paid service. A wife and mother cannot thus absolve her own soul; she simply disgraces and traduces her holiest work. Suppose, even, that housekeeping is hard and monotonous, it is not more so than men's work in the city. The first lesson a bnsiness mah has to learn is to do plateau( ly what he does not like to do. All regular useful work must be monotonous; but love ought to make it easy, and, at any rate, the tendium of house work is not any greater then the tendium of office work. As Rr house work being degrading, that is thel veriest nonsense. Honte is a little royalty, and if a housewife and mother be of ele- like to knew myself," said the young man. "She acted very queerly while she was back here. I really -think she must be crazy," And the- proprietor evidently .theught so himself, for he said no more about it. The Dog and ydrophobia. - An authority on do , says it is a great mistake to kill a dog etlirectly after it has bitten any one. It has been proved scien- tifically, and is adinitted 'now by all phy- sicians who are poated that hydrophobia it not a spontaneous disease, and cannot be given to a person by a dog bite unless the dog be mad when it causestthe wound. The dog's condition, if it be mad, will be mani-- fested within two days, or two weeks at the latest. By permitting it to live, therefore, the physicians can tell definitely whether the person bitten is liable to have hydrophobia. If the dog goes mad within that time they know the person 1 bitten may have the same dread disease. If the dog does not go mad then there is no fear of hydrophobia, and the wound cnn be treated as any other wound would be. By killing the dog yon destroy the chance of certainty as to the fate of the person: Bitten, and leave the imagimation full rei to fear ths worst results when it might ave been possible to know in ad- vance hat hydrophobia was impossible. • Of course here are exceptions to these rules which ill suggest themselves to persons. When dog is so vicious that to leave it alive is to endanger other people, then the first duty would be to destroy it unless it could ae kept carefully secluded where the poitsibi Hy of harm would be removed. But e •en in such cases when the dog is illnd it should be done by a physi. csan, ho should keep a portion of the brain, by which it can be determined wheth r the dog had rabies or not. • Addressing the Bull. A fa mei. in Stirlingshire, Scotland, em- ployed a half-witted countryman in the capaci of herd. Returning home with the cows o e day, the herd was suddenly attack- ed by he bull, which occupied a separate field, ut had Somehow broken away. For - Glaciate y the herd, who was a big man and posse)) ed of enormous strength, always car- ried a tout stick with him. When the bull attack d him he defended himself with the stick f1' a while then watching his oppor- tunity he seized the 1111 by the tail, at the same ime applying the stick with great stregt across the animal's ribs. His great said, a gh enabled him to "hold on," • and soon t e bull was down on his knees bellow- ing for mercy. " A , roar noo," he • dressing the bull, and still laying on for all: e was worth. " Ye'll roar noo, but ye ken wha began it." The Camerons. The Camerons are well known ea one of the br vest and most chivalrous of the Hight d clans.

As is well known, some warehouse men or storekeepers think their help should in- duce shoppers to buy whether inclined or not, and blame them (the help) if they do not succeed, though very many visit llhe stores merely to satisfy their curiosity, aind have no intention of buying anything. .11A shopper in a Glasgow drapery wareho se had the man at the _dress goods counter take down half his stock for examination, and ,thendecided that nothing suited her, and rose to leave. The proprietor always ac- costed the customers as they came out, to see if they had found what they desired. This particular assistant knew that if the proprietor should find out from the woman that her wants had not been supplied it would not be greatly to his credit, so' he said—" Madam, do you see that man etemd- ing in the door ?" " Yes." " Well, if he should speak to you as you pi out don't be alarmed. He is e lunatic, but being a rela- tive of the owner of the store he is allowed a great deal of liberty, as he is dangerous only at times." The woman 'gathered her handkerchief and umbrella and started for the door, looking a little nervous. When she was about to pass out the proprietor turned to her suddenly and said—" Madam, did you get what you wanted ?" The wo- man uttered , a frightened squeak, swung her umbrella at a parry, and fled up the street. The proprietor, filled with surprise, went back to the dress goods counter, and said—" What in the world was the matter with that lady who juet went out ?"
