Over the hill to the poor- house went an old man named John Benson in Ness county, Kansas, under very remarkable circumstances, Jast week. He is the owner of $8,000 in govern- ment bonds and other property worth several thousand dollars. Not- withstanding this, he stated to the county commissioners that he was entirely friendless, and asked them to let him spend the remainder of his days in the poor house, promis- ing to bequeath to the county at his death all his property. He said he had lost all confidence in humanity, and had reached the conclusion that he would be safer in the poor house than anywhere else. His proposi- tion was accepted.

The Baby- lonians and Assyrians reduced it to a system. At certain times every year the marriageable women were bruught into the market place, and eventuatiy put up at auction. The good-looking brought a good price. The plain- featured, although they may haye been worth their weight in gold, found few bidders. The ill-favored. on the other hand, were given away with dowers made up from the money paid for their h indsomer sisters. Many African tribes follow out the principles of this ancient practice; and that it is not wholly obsolete in Europe was shown recently in a tray- eler's account of acurious marriage custom among the Roumanians in the Westerly Carpathians. The state- |; ment was made that every year. at the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, a market is held on the crest of the Gaina, from five thousand the sea, and here the marriageable order to be viewed and claimed. All the relatives on the female side con- tribute to the dower of the young to the market The young men also helped the best they possess and appear on the occasion gaily appareled. There \is a good deal of bargaining at times, | and, as cattle are included in the gifts, | the place resemble |the be rothel is «ff-cted the pledge of ‘attachment is not a ring, but anem- | i broidered handkerchief, | In Syria certain recognized articles jare handed over to the bride’s father has asymbol of purchase. The articles are usually a carpet, a nose ring, a :neck-chain, bracelets and a camel bag. | ; They must be passed over to the father purely for form's sake. as they become “eventually the property of the young iwife.

One ofthe Recognized M -ans of Lowering the Temperature. A sick person shonid be vathed avery day, unless for some special treason the doctor forbids it, Theskn can not properly perform its function of carrying off the waste matter from the body unless its pores are kept open. In fever, sponging with cold water is one of the recognized means of lower- ‘ng the temperature. It is, therefore, mportant to know how to give a bath 0 a person in bed as easily, speedily, and ¢ff-ctually xs possible. Bofore beginning, every thing that will be required should be placed at the side ef the bed. Two blankets are needed, two towels, a basin of water (if the bath is 10 be a warm one a pitcher of hot water to replenish the basin), ant a sponge. If the bath is given every day, soup is unnecessary; when it is used a cloth should be substituted for the sponge, as soap spoils the lat- ter. Ifthe night dress and sheet are to be changed, the fresh ones should be put to air, and warm at the fire. This precaution should never b: ne- glected, as damp linen might give a fatal chill. Double the blankets end to end, move the patient to one sile of the bed, push the bed-clothes toward him, keeping him covered, and, on the cleared space, lay the folded blanket, draw the bed-coverings over it, and ander their shelter move the patient on it. Lay the second folded blanket over the spreai!, and draw all the bed-clothes from beneath it, leaving the patient covered with it alone. Remove the night dress, squeeze the sponge so that it will not drip, and bathe the face, neck and ears, wiping them carefully afierward. Pass the hand holding the sponge under the blanket, and wash the arms, drying each as soon asdone; then bathe the body and wipe it dry; turn the patient on the side, and bathe the back, then the legs to the knees; turn again on the back and finish the legs and feet. The points to be re- membered nre not to expose the pa- tient to cold by letting the blanket slip aside. not to wet too large a surface at once, and to wipe thoroughly dry. Replace the night dress and bed- clothes, draw out the upper blanket, move the patient off the lower blanket todry. They will be damp, but not wet, if the bath has been properly givon.—Good Housekeeping. —__+ 0 + ___. —An Englishinan with a missionary spirit has issued an appeal to evan- gelicals to provide “drawing-room meetings,’ at which those who attend should be required to wer evening dress. *‘We dress to go out to dinner, why should we not dress io r:ad the ; Bible together?’ is his original theory. ——— —The Honey Grove (Pa.) Herald makes this mysterious announcement: |*There is a wedding coming, and the | Herald is under oath. Guess who it is, then wait about a week or two, and you'll know who's in trouble."’ Common Knowledge. A High School boy went into one of our city bookstores and asked for a pen and a guire of foolscap paper. “How many sheets in a quire?” he jasked magnificently, as he flipped a | quarter on the counter. “Twenty-four,’’ auswered the deal- | er, gravely. { “Is it possible,” inquired a citizen | as the ycuth went out, “that a boy in {the grammar school can be ignorant /of such asimple thing.” ‘school,’’ answered the dealer, ‘they are too easy. If our young people ) learn them at all, it must be at home. | Professors have no time to waste on such common knowledge.” —Detroit Free Press. What Bothered Him.

LOCAL OPTION COLUMN. Read the local option column, ev- ery word in it is true. “There isn't a whisky built house | in Kansas City which isn’t typical of of blood money, and there isn’t a white seam between those bricks which isn't a representation of the pallid faces of widows and orphans. | There’s many a woman going down | to the provident association for a i little meal and meat whose husband is weekly paying his hard earned dollars over the bar of some barrel ‘house. God says: Woe unto you | who have built your house by wrong. You'll have flood, riot and anarchy. You'll pay back the fruit for some of that you have received.” Put yourself on record for the sa- loon or against them. “Here are fellow men sitting about you here to night who are in more absolute slavery than any colored man who ever toiled in the cotton fields or canebrakes of the south. There are men here to-night who will boast of their freedom, who are ab solutely owned and controlled by the devil or his minions, who are standing on two feet in Kansas City to-night. Some are owned by bar- keepers whose money is not their own, who have to divide up at the bar every Sunday night before going to their wives and children.” You say by your vote next Tues- day, what you think will be for the best interest of the women and chil- dren of Bates county, Saloon or no saloon. , Vote against the sale of whiskey for the sake of the dear mothers of Bates county. “I thought that my little children knew that I was not the father that God intended me to be to them, and instead of running to meet me with kisses and caresses, they would lis- ten for my footstep as Icame etag- pared home and shrink away to the ‘arthest possible corner of the house to avoid meeting their drunken fath- er.

Arkansas City, Kan., Jan. 7.—A dipatch from Anthony states that Walter E. Treadwell, the great cat- tle king, shot Chas. C. Clark, his old partner in business, this afternoon, wounding him badly. One shot entered Clark's body four inches below the heart, and an- other broke the left thigh six inches below the joint. As the men were in Clark’s room in a hotel there, the origin of the difficulty is not known. Treadwell gave himself up to the sheriff. He is one of the best known cattle men of southern Kansas. One of his extensive ranches is located midway between Harper and An- thony in Harper county, in addition to which he is interested in large herds in the territory. He is a jovial kind hearted man and very popular, but is said to be very violent when in liquor.
