‘Wniten for Tum Evexrxe Sram. HOW A WITCH WAS CAUGHT. BY JOEL CNANDLI R HARRIS (“UNCLE REMUS”), [Cop righted 1885.) The little boy sat in a high chair and used his legs ax drumsticks, much to the confusion of Uncle Remus, asit appeared. After a while the old man exclaimed: “Well. my goodness en de gracious! how you ever in de roun’ worl’ er anywhere’s else speck me fer ter make any headway in tellin’ a tale wiles all dish yer racket gwine on? I don't want ter call nobody's pa, kaze he mos’ allers talks tooloud,en iffealider ma twon't make so mighty much difference, kaze she done got so Usen ter it dat she dunner wen dey er makin’ ny fuss.

Not den, you des better behave, bekaze hit don’t cost me nothin’ fer ter cut dis tale right short om, “One time der wuz a miller man w’at livo by @ riveren had a mill. He wuz a mighty smart man. He tuck so much toll dat he tuck’n’ buyed "im a house, en he want ter rent dat ‘ar house out ter folks, but de folks dey "lowed dat de house was ha’nted. Dey’d come en rent de house, dey would, en move in dar, en den goup- stairs en go ter bed. Dey’d go ter bed, dey ‘would, but dey couldn’t sleep, en time it got day dey'd zit out er dat house. “De miller man, he ax'd um w'at de matter wuz, but dey des shuck der headen ‘low de house wuz ha’nted. Den he tuck’n try ter fine out w'at kinder ha’nt she wuz dat skeer folks. He sleep in de house, but he ain’t see nothin’, en de mos’ w'at he year wuza big ole gray cat a-promenadin’ roun’en hollerin’. Bimeby hit got so dat dey wan'tnofun in havin’ de ha’nted house, en w'en folks 'd come long de miller- man, he'd des up en tell um dat de house 'uz ha’nted. Some ‘ud go up en some wouldn't,but dem w'at went up didn't stay, kaze des ‘bout bedtime dey’d fetch.a yellen des come a rushin’ down, en all de money in de Nunited States er Georgy wouldn't git um fer to go back up dar. “Hit went on dis away twel one time a preacher man com’ long dar an’ say he wanted some'rs ter stay. He wuz a great, big tan, an’ he look like he wuz good accordin’. ‘De miller man say he hate mighty bad tor ter discommerdate ‘im, but he despintedly ain't got no place whar he kin put 'm ‘cep’ dat ar han’ted house. De preacher man say he des scon stay darez any whar's, kaze he bin livin’ im deze low groun’s er sorrer too loug fer ter be sot back by any one-hoss ha'nta. De mil- ler man ‘low'd dat he ‘us afeard de ha’nts ‘ud worry him might'ly, but de preacher man “low, he did, dat he use ter bein’ worried, an’ he up’n tell de miller man dat he'd a heap Yather stay in de house wid de ha'nt, no mat- ter how big she is, dan ter stay out doors in de rain. “So de miller man, he ‘low he ain't got no mo *pology fer ter make, bekaze ef de preucherman ‘wuz ready fer ter face de ha’ntsen set up dar en out blink um, dey wouldn't be nobody in de roun’ wor!’ no gladder dan him. Den de miller man showed de preacher man how ter git in de house an’ had ‘im agreat, big fler built. En atter de milier man wuz done gone, de preacher man drawed a cheer up ter de fler an’ waited fer de ha’nts, but dey ain't no ha'nts come, Den wren dey ain't no ha nts come, de preacher man tuck’n open up he satchel en got 'im out some sparribs en sot um by de fier fer ter coox, en den he got down eu said he pra'rs,en den he got up en read he Bible. He wuza migh*y good man, mon,en he prayed en read a long time. Bimeby, w’en his spar ribs git done, he got some bread out'n he satchel, en fixed fer ter eat hissupper. “By de time he got all de meat offn one er de ribs, de preacher man listened, en he year'd @monstus scramblin’ en scratcbin’ on de wall. He looit aroun’, be did, en dar was a great, big | Diack cat a sharpenin’ ‘er claws on de door facin’. Folks, don’t talk! dat ar cat wuz a sight! Great, long w'ite toofs en great big yaller eyeballs ashinin like dey was litup way back in | Yer head. She stood dar a minnit, dat old black eat did, en den she ‘gun tosidle up like she wuz gwine ter mount dat preacher man right dar en des. But de preacher man, he desshoo’d at 'er, enitseem like dis sorter skeer'd 'er, kaze she went off, “But de preacher man, he kep’ his eyes open, en helt on ter his spar-rib.

By Mary Prescorr. [Copyrighted 1885.) Ariadne had been on the Nereid a whole day, bat owing to seasickness, she had_not so mach ‘as glanced at the passenger list, Having, how- ever, found ber way upon deck, the morning of the second day,she felt equal to no greater literary effort, than reading t over, and pon- dering upon identities. “Upon my word, Selina,” she sald, presently, looking up with a gasp, “There's a real, live lord, on board. I wonder how we shall find oat which one he is? Lord Kingsbury! It sounds sweetly; the title is always a kind of spell that evokes memories of manorial estates and alarge rent-roll. I seeafine path and noble trees, and statuary and fountains,— and—oh dear,—do you suppose we will get ac- quainted with him? Come, Lena, can’t you take an Interest?” “*The rank is but the guinea’s stamp,’” sald Lena,looking up from her novel. “J think your noble lord is that oldgentleman in the Sealskin overcoat, who limps; lords are always gouty, you know. He doesn’t appeal to me.” “How discouraging you are, Lena, Now I suspect"—Just then a young man who had been dozing in a deck chair a little way behind them, threw off his rug and began to pace the deck, after the manner of those who would as- sure themselves and the world of the trast- worthiness of their sea legs. He had a fine car- riage and his bright chestout hair blew across his white brow in heavy rings, while he gave & passing glance at Ariadne und Selina ashe waiked, from a pair of “Killing” brown eyes, as, Ariadne expressed it; a half indifferent, lordly glance, tempered with a touch of amusement. “Now, that’s my idea of a lord,” whispered Ariadne, “But a lord is not always young.” % but if he isn't Lord Kingsbury, his lord- ship isa myth. Now the question is, how shall we get acquainted with him?” “Speak in the singular, please. If he wants to know you he will manage it, without your lifting a finger, He looks as if he were laughing at us “Let those laugh who win. Where has the bird flown? I hoped he was on a walking-match ‘across the deck?” “He went into the card-room. I daresay he is agambler; they're almost always good look- ing. They've been betting on the ship's speed; she made two hundred and ninety knots yes- terday, and that young gentleman in the brown. ulster took the pool.” “He doesn’t look ‘takin,’ the steerage.” “I don’t think so,” answered Selina. “He moved my deck chair last evening, when the wind blew too fresh on the other side.” “And you talked with him!” “Certainly. And what's more, he talked lke a—a—he’s just splendid! He has read Rus- kin and Huxley and all my favorites. He had the poets at his tongue’s end.” "A nice place for them. You oughtn't accept attentions from such people, Selina; I suppose he’s some drnmmer, and he looks as if he ate with his knife. You might not like to know him in New Yorr.” “Ishould be glad to know him in heaven,’ confessed Lena, “I don't believe your Lord- ling can hold a candle to him, conversation- ally.” “Fudge! I hate men who read Ruskin and talk philosophy and quote poetry—they are al- most always poor and peculiar, live on a salary, and have no ideas about flirtin: Just then the young man in question picked up the parasol which the wind had snatched from Ariadne’s hand and had sent half across thedeck. He brought it to her, with a pleasant bow. “Thank you,” she said, quite stify; but without seeming at all crushed, he took’ the vacant chair beside Lena, and resumed the broken thread 0; last evening's discourse.

He held @ roll of music in his hand. “Did you request your cousin to practice with me?” he asked Selina. “It will be an Immense tavor,” turning an appealing glance pe Arl- ado jt would be in truth a charity. Yes,” answered Selina, “I askea her—but—” ‘I must decline, thank you,” said Ariudne, Jofiily;sea sickness and music are not iriends." “Pardon,” be said, “I was not aware—-you are so plucky to keep upon deck. But perhaps you sing yourself,” turning to Lena, pte ifyou wouldn't mind my mistakes.” “That's what we practice tor, lo correet them,’ he returned, aud he olfered his arm, to the saloon.

Its Hygienic Uses and Hints om the Material to Use. {Wiliam A. Hammond in the New York Journal. Dr. re are few matters concerning health that are more completely misunderstood by the average man or woman than the subject of . As now is the timeat which it is important to begin to exercise special care ‘avoid taking cold tt will not be out of place for me to say a few words on this important question to the readers of The Morning Journal who want to know what is right in regard to the ‘care of their health, and yet perhaps do not know exactly what to do. ECESSITY FOR UNDERCLOTHING. In the first place, I may say that in our cli- mate some kind of underciothing should be hacer ™an, woman and child all the year und, summer as ter—though, of eourse, It should. er sR soos with the season. There are, doubtless, many who wear Pothing of the sort, winter or summer, and Who have thus far escaped ail ill consequences, or at Jest think they have. In all probability, however, ney are deceiving themselves, They may not yet have suffered any serious inconve- nience from their neglect 10 rly clothe themselves, but they are quite certain! thongh the process goes on slowly, weal their resisting powers, and are hence rendering themselves less capable of bearing up against the attacks which morbid influences ure con- tantly making. Every year finds them more apt to suffer from slight ailments, each one ot Which debilitates the system; advancing age makes them more susceptible, and at last pne! monia, pleurisy, dysentery or’some other serl- Qus disease strikes them down. The changes in our climate are s0 sudden and severe as to Tequire ail the vital strength of the organism to coinbat them, and if the body be not Propeny retected the danger. is greatly increased. ven with all the care that can be exercised the barriers are often broken down. There are many men and women within my personal Knowledge who cannot even for a sin- ule day omit their customary woolen shirts oF rawers without contracting a cough or becom- ing subject tg rheumatic or neuralgic pains. One of thes@is agentleman holding a bign gifice under the government of the United States. He dislikes the sensation of wool next to his skin, and has repeatedly tried to harden j himself tothe point ot being able to dispense with the thick flannel ‘shirt that his wife insists on his wearing. As often, how- ever, as he has made th attempt he has been obliged after i few hours’ abstinence to return to the disagreeable garment, for a gentle re- minder comes to him in the form of a slight stiteh in hisside while he is snifting the fresh morning air on his way to his office. By the time he has gone a tew blocks, whether on foot or in bis carriage, it is painful for him to breathe, and the suffering goes on increasing ull he is freed to go home and puton the pro- tecting shirt, very much to his wite's delight at the tuitilment of her predictions MATERIAL TO BE USED, There is a widely prevalent idea that silk is the best substance from which to make under- clothing, and I have known many poor girls to stint themselves in the necessaries of iife in or- der to save enough money to purchase silk an- dergarments. Bat silk is not the best material with which to inake underclothes so far as eon- cerns their health-preserving qualities what- | ever may be its advantages so far us beauty and immediate comiort are concerned. The chief object of underelothing is the retention of the natural heat of the body in such a way that low temperatures and sudden changes will not affect the surface. Several years ago I performed some experiments which Went to show beyond adoubt that silk is below wool in its power to prevent the loss of heat from the body and very little superior to cotton, Indeed, nothing is in this respect preferable to wool, abd of this ma- terial all underclothing meant for winter use should be made. In summer a inixture of wool and cotton, called merino, may be worn, but even in very hot weather silk is not desirable, for it is not’ such a ready absorber of the perspir. ation as is wool, and hence allows the Ly to be kept ina state not very remote from that known as parboiled. Wool, however, taking up, as it does, the moisture from the body, ex- poses It tw the action of the atmosphere, it is evaporated, and the process being a cuoling une, | keeps the ‘in from becoming overheated. Rabbit skins, cushions of various kinds and the so-called “protectors,” worn over the chest ure horrible affuirs, as they prevent the escay of the excretions from the skin and hence la- cllitate the collection of dirt as well as impeding the proper exercise of one of the most Important functions of the body. I have frequently seen persons—men and women—divest themselves: ofa halfa dozen layers of skins aud pads before | Leould get at the naked chest (o examine it | with the stethescope, The odor was disgusting These buttons | had thee n vere supe aad the effect upon the organs they were sup- | posed to protect certainly deleterious. No un- | derclothing should ever be so thick as to pre- vent the free passage of the eutancous excre- tions and the atmospheric air, ‘Tue skin re- quires ventilation as well as do the lungs. Chamois skin undergarments, “perforated” or Unperforated, are abominations. COLOR OF UNDERCLOTHING, A notion exists that red is a particularly ad- ‘Yantageous color to give to the undershirts and drawers worn in very cold weather. There is ho foundation In fact for such an idea, It has been said that the dye stuff used for the pur- pose of producing the color in question is more irritating to the skin than the other substances eniployed, but, even if this were true and 1 am strongly inclined to question the corréctness of the stttement—it would be no reason for using red-colored undergarments 1n_ preference to brown or white. It is not irritation of the skin that is wanted when we put on underclothing but protection trom cold and sudden. vicixsi tudes of temperature. When {tis necessary to irritate the skin it is better to muke ase of a mustard plaster or a blister, and not to divert the clothing from its proper objects. Under- glothing should be made of white materials, ‘Theoretically, black would be preferable ior wine ter use, as it is a better non-conductor of heat and a’better absorber of moisture than any other color, other things being equal; but it | Mould provably be diticult to get opie to clothe themyelves in clothing of thts color or to tind the necessary articles iu the shops.

The chief objec- tion to stockinet is that the garments made of it fit too close wo the skin to Ue comfortavle or to jultil all the objects to be obtained from une dercicthing. When, however, the garments are made vat of plece-goods and expressiy for the person who is to wear them they cannot be, so jored ay to embrace the body as tightly ag though they were made of india-rabber. Strata fair, therefore, are furmed at various pol nis and these help fo retain the heat.

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION, From the Philadelphia Record. ‘The carelessness with which poisons are han- died has been unfavorably commented on by the press, and practical suggestions are made as to methods by which to avold such accidents in the future. But people are liable also toanother danger, which is more widesptead in its effects than would be the carelessness or thoughtless nessot a drug clerk. There are twenty thou- sand druggists in the United States, and nearly all of them are licensed to sell liquor, in fact, it may be assumed that at least one<ixth of all the whiskey consumed in the United States is sold by dfuggists. Large quantities of it are used as one of the ingredients in physicians’ Prescriptions, and while it may be true, as 1s Sometimes claimed, that there are doctors who do not prescribe ‘leoholic lquors in cases of sickness, they are the exception—not the Tule. All medical men who are_not prejudiced know the value of good liquor in a sick room, and order it freely in many cases, such as feeble digestiop of old people, eholcra infantum, cholera us, acute dyspepsia, consump: tion, hemorrhages and other lung troubles, and'to counteract the depression caused by Pneumonia, fever and in fact all inflammatory iseases, “Hut whiskey 1s not always, put up with a prescription; it is sometimes ordered to betaken separately, und in that case there is nothing more natural than that the druggist who furnishes the medicine should also be galled upon to supply. the ‘quer. Women, from the peculiar character of their organism, often need a stimulant, and, of course, it Is ob- tained at the drag store; In fact, it may be said that alcohol in some shape or other plays as important a part In medical treatment as any drug in the modern pharmacopeis, Now it is somewhat strange that while medi- cal men are constantly insisting on the neces- sity of purity in drugs, if they ure to have the desired effect on those to whom they are ad- ministered, they: are positively silent as to the character of the whiskey which thelr patients secure at drug stores. It is admitted, even by. members of the trade themselves, that’as a rule the druggist handles the lowest, poofest, and cheapest whiskies that are manufuetured, lia bie as they are to be imposed on like other peo- ple. Ih a recent conversation with a wholesale liquor dealer, the writer learned several facts which Induced him to visita number of drag Stores and purchase a small quantity of the Whiskey sold there; about a dozen samples, Were obtained, all of whieh were carefully sub- Jected to analysis, and the result obtained was certainly startling, vitriol, logwood, creosote and catéchu were found freely, while the color ing inatter was equally as poi which is usea in deéeiving people with so-called green tea. It would not be difficult even for the non-professional mind to form an idea as to the effects of such whiskey upon the system. “Administered to sick people with their ‘constitutions already enfecbled by disease or taken by nervous, delicate and over-worked women, the evil di terrible.

Would this prevent the patient from using it when his system craves for it? Decidedly not. Besides, alcohol in spite of all that may be said to the contrary, is admitted by eminent phys ologists to be an article of food, and necessary {o the system, even when perfect health Is eit Joyed. ‘There are many people who occasionally feel the need of # tonic, but from some or other are opposed to taking whiskey; such people generally compromise on some one ot the numerous bitters with whict the murket Is flooded. laying the flattering unction to their souls that they are using something surely vegetable, composed in fact of samples from the labratory of nature. ‘There is no ¢xazgeration in saying that asa rule these nauseous com: pounds consist chiefly of the vilest and cheap. est whiskey, carefully disguised by some flavor, but destructive to the system.
