The Truo Tale of William Tell.
Williatu Tell ran a bay ranch near
Berg- ten about 580 yeara ago Tell bad
lived iu the mountains all bis life aud
shot ohauiois sud ohipmuoks with a
crust, gun till he was i bad man to stir
up. At thai time Swiiserland was run
principally by n lot of carpet-baggers
fttiui Austria, and Tell got down on them
about the year 1307. It seems that Tell
wantvd the government oontract to fur
nish ha. at $45 a ton for the y>>ar 1307,
aud Ge*»lrr, who was controlling the
patrooage i f Switzerland, let the ceiitraot
to an Austriau who bad a big lot of con
demned' hay luriher up tbe gulch. Oue
day Gea>->er pui his plug hat up on a
teligraph p le, and issued order 236,
regular series, to ths effect that every
anoozer who passed down tbe toll road
should bow to it Gesaler happened to
be in behind the bush when Tell went
by, and be noticed that Bill aaid "Shoot
the >ial" aud d dn't salute it, so hs told
his men to gather Mr Tell in and put
him io the relrigerator. Oessler told
him thut ii he would shoot a erab app'e
from the bead of his only son, st two
hundred yaids with a cross-sun. he
wnuli give him bis liberty. Tell con
sented, and kuooked the apple higher
thau Uiiroy's kite Old Gesaletj bow
ever, noticed another arrow melting la""
Wil lam's girdle, and he asked what kind
ot a flowery break that was Tell told
birn that it he had killed ths kid instead
of bunting the apt Ir, be intended to dri I
a bole through the stomach of Mr. Ges
sler. This made Gessler mad sgain, and
he took Tell oo a picnio up the river in
irous Tell jumped off whsu he got s
good obauc.-, aud cut across a beud in
the river, and when tbe picnio party
esnie down he shot Gessler deader than a

Undisciplined Tempera.
O all things which are to be met with
here oo earth there is nothing which
csn give such centinual, sueb cutting,
such useless pain as sn undisoiplinsd
temper.
Tbe touchy snd tensitive temper, which
takes offense st a word ; tbe irritable
temper, wbioh finds offense in everything
whether intended or not; the violent
tamper, whioh breaks through all bounds
of reason whsn eoce roused ; the jealous
or sullon temper, whioh wears a eloud i.n
the faoe all day, and never utter* a word
of complaint; tbe diacootinued temper
brooding over ita owu wrongs ;• the so
vere temper, wdicb always looks at the
worst side of whatever ia done; the
willful temper, wbioh overrides every
soruple to gratify a whim—what ao
amount of paiu have these caused in tbo
hearts of mbn, if we oould but sum up
their results 1 How msny a soul have
they atirred to evil impulses, how msny
a prsyei have tbey stifled, how msny
aa emotion of tare affection bave they
turned to bitterness 1 How bard they
make all duties. How tbey kill tbe
aw est eat and warmeat of all domeatio
oharities ! 11l tsmper is a sin, requiring
long and oaref'ul discipline.— Bitkop

Wiien over-exert i>n is c udncd to a
aoiall gtoup of turn-eles, these. instead
of becoming enlarged and sir*ngthened,
as is the case when exertion and rest are
duly interchanged, suffer chronic ex
haustion, which shows ttt-eil in a species I
of parslysiß—as in palsy, or cranio, sev
erally peculiar to writers, telegraphers,
type-setters, violinists, puuists, tailors,
milkers, nod men of various trades whose
work is mainly with tbe hammer
It is computed that ihe pen blade
forger, if industrious an 1 disposed to do
lull work, delivers nearly 20,000 a ecu j
rate strokes a day, aud in tun years over
88,000,000, etch stroke involving ex ;
penditure of nerve force, both in tbe
nerves of the brain which calculate the
distance and amount of torce necessary,
and the nerves of tbe uiucdes engaged
in the est.
Another result of overe xertion is ir.
ratibiliif of the heart, similarly due to
exhaustion of nerve-force The heart
may become dilated, so that valves—one
or more—cease fully to oloae the open
ings, or the valves Become thickeued
and incapable, of ready and complete ac
tion The elastic tissues of the great ar
teries leading out of tbe heart may be
weakened by over-distension, and the
walla may, duting some stroug effort, so
far give way as to forta a pouch, or even
to atreich out inte a fatal aneurism
This irritatolto
to palpitation, cardiac pain, and rapid
pulta.
It is estimated that 38 per cent of
cases of thia affection utnuug our soldieis
during tbe late civil war were due to ,
long aud rapid marches, or other forms
of over exertion Professional pedcatri
una are provcrnially short-lived. Moun
taiu-cltuibers, and persona who catry
gymnastic or atbletio exercises to exctss,
and especially laborers whose work is
severe, and who also suffer from intem
perance, foul air and improper diet, are
peculiarly liable to heart disease.
Care of Fruit Trees.
8. M. Mahon, in a letter to the Dow
agtae. "Uepublioan" says; Many farm
era are io the habit ef buying tret* ev
ery season and planting them in sod
ground, or to 611 some vacaat place in
their orchard Often they ara never
trimmed, never receive any niulcb, and
the rcault is tbe treabeoomea unhealthy
aud wortbleaa. We belieae ;hat six-ten
ths of the peach trees that die with the
so-oalled yellows, are ss free from the
diaease, yea, far mere ao, than man is
from th»t disease we call blues. No
doubt many peach treea do die with that
disaaaa, but if we have a tree in our
yard that ha* stood there for fifteen
years, and it bies, it has ihe yellows;
if planted the previous spring and it
of *3ourse it had the same disease.
The peach baa another enemy as fatal
or more ao to tbo trees than yallowa.
Itf is grub in the re ot; and if no remedy
iaapplied after tfeir appearance, they
are aura death tC; the tree. Thi pre
ventive aa wall as the remedy, to a great
extant, ia ia the sab. Whan trees ara
planted, put among tbe roots two or
three buarta of leaobed ashes, and the
first af June waah io very strong soap
suds or weak lye In the following
spring dig away the earth front tbe roota
of your treea and put in spore ashes,
leached or unleaohed, and you will be
surprised to seo the rapid wtowth they
will make ; as a rule ihey will be bealihy.
Also put Mshes areund tbe tree aiur
planting. You will find that ashes will
benefit any variety of fruit trees, wben
spoiled on to surface of tbe soil If yuu
buy young aa# thirfty treea, and oar*
tor them aa fou do tor your oorn, they
will amole reward yoo, aad there will
be no ooeaaion to find fault with nuraery

of the indi|(eeted milk causing cholera
infantum,
The physician siys that onol water
without iee is the great indispensib!e
articles for the preventive treatment of
children in hot weather, and it should
a'ways be accessible to the child Wa
ter, he says, is important enough to
nursii g children, but is life itself to those
reared on the bottle If water sufficient
is given babies they wi'l take milk on
ly when it is tweet, and in such quantios
as they will be able to digest. This
ssuie physician says that he tias no hesi
tancy io asserting that 'the free giving
of water is, in a majority of cases, a po
tent preventive against the terriblo
scourge of cholera infantum.
In very many instances children could
eudare the heat of day and discomfort
of the night if they oould only cool off
for a lew hours before being put to bed
at night. Their moteer's laps, upon
which they are rocked, are warm, and
everything npon whioh they may ha
laid is warm. The result is that the
more restless tbey are the more their
discomfort increases. What they Deed
is something tbat will detach them from
any heated surface, and that will also
allow theair to reach their bodies.
F'robahly the best thing for this pnr
poss is the common det hammock. Ev

Of oourae, hammocks must always be
hung in very shady plaoes. If there is .
no shade in tbe yard, or if there be no
yard, bang the haramnck in tbe house
The babies will even there get the
benefit of any air, that may be atirring,
and if there be no breeze they will be
very much cooler than if lying ou a 3at
surface.
Tbe Loss of Ammonia.
The loss of ataaonia in manures is a
question frequently disoasaed. Tbe ex
periment of Dr. Voelcker with fresh
hoise manure, gathersd from tbe stables
before being mixed with tbo heaps, will,
no doubt, iaterest and surprise many.
In one experiment the amount of am
monia which was drawn out by long con
tinued boiling, amounted ta 6 6 pounds
per ton, wbioh, at twenty cents per
pound, would amount to $1.32 per ton.
The loss, however, on the land woald not
amount to a quantity anything like this,
for in such case the was ex
tracted with boiling water. A second
experiment, with a sample of bot, fer
menting horse manure, emitting a strong
and pnngent odor, lost in like manner
less than two pounds per ton, or 39 2-10
cents in value. As the excrement, even
as bot as this is, soon cooled wben spread
upon the groaad, and aa the fresh earth
abserba the ammonia very rapidly, tbeae
experiments would indicate a loss in prao.
ties of too small a voue to be taken into
acsount, wben the convenience of time
ia taken into coneideratioo. A large
majority of our farmers are frequently
deterred from drawing out manure at
times when tbe bsuliog would cost very
little, on acoount of tbe teama standing
idle in tbe barns, for fear of loss by ex
posure, but ao small a loes should never
be considered wkea aquestioa of oonye
nieooe ariaes.

ministers most ta their happiness. You

The Poetry of the Throttle Valve.
Not long ago an engineer brought hi*
train to a stand at a little Masaschuaetts
village where the passengers have ife
minutes for lunob. A lady came along
the platform uod said :
"The conductor tolls Die the train at
the junction P. leaves fitteen minutes
before our arrival. It is Saturday night
that is the last train. 1 have a very
si'.'k obild in the oar, and no moMf for

"Well, 1 ' saitL-tbe cngiojer, "I wish I

''Would it t>o possible for you to hur
ry a little!" said tbe anxious, tearful
mother.
"No, madam, I have the time-table,
and the rules saj I most run by It."
She turned sorrowfully airay, leaving
the bronzed face of the engineer wet
with tears. Presently she returned and
1 naid, "Are you a Christian T"
'1 trust I am," was tbe reply.
"Will you pray with me that the Lord
may in some way delay (he train at the
junction ?"
"W by, yes, 1 will pray with you, but
I have not much faith."
Just then tbe conductor cried, "All
nb >ard "
The poor woman hurried back to tbe
deformed and sick child, and away went
tho train climbing the
"Somehow," mid tho engineer, "every
thing worked like a charm As I prayed
I c 'uldu't help letting tuy engine out

There stood the other train, and the
conductor with the lautern on his arm.
"Well," said bo, "will you tell me
what lam waiting here for? Somehow
I felt I must await your coming to-night,
but I don't know why."
"I guess," said tbe brother eonductor,
"it is for this poor womao, with ber
sick and deformed child, dreadful snx
inus to get home this Saturday night.''
But the man on tbe engine and the
grateful mother think they can tell why
the train waited.
The old Lady and the Tramp.
Mrs. Deacon Grover, aged 60, was seat
ed son's stocking in the
town of llorseheadg, New York, when a
trnnip entered and asked for something
to eat. The old lady went to the cellar
and when she came back her gold rim
med spectacles were gone. She said to
the tran>p :
' You've got my specs." He penied
it, and, quietly laying down the plate,
she went to a bureau, took a revolver
therefrom, qointed it at the tratup aad
told him if he didn't lay those spects on
the tabic sbe would shoot him whero be
stood.
The tramp took the spectaoles from his
pocket and mildly laid them down.
"Now," said she, "eat what I have bro
ught tor you and get out." Fie ate and
departed. When her son Agustus ap
peared the old lady again taking the re
volver from the bureau, said to him \
"Agustus, bow do you cock this weap
on ?"
DARK CLOTHES AND DISEASE —It may
not, perhaps, be known that a man wear
ing dark clothes is m ire liable to infeo
tion from cnntsgioui disease than he who
wears light oolored garments beoause
particles uhich eiuenate from diseased
or decaying boiies are much more read
ily absorbed by dark than light fabrics.
This ia eisy of proof Expose a light
and dark coat to the fuuiks of tobnoco
for five miautes, and it will be found that
the dark one smells stronger than tbe
other of tobacco smoke, and it will retain
the odor longer.
London Truth says: "The best use
to whioh a woman oan be put is to be
made the honest wife of some good man
a&d the judicious mother of healthy chil
dren. All the art and learning that she
can compass are not of so much value to
tbe world as the example of a lile passed
quietly in tbe exercise of domestic duties
and social righteousness, in the gift to
the country of obildreo who shall carry
on the national traditions of courage and
generosity, of unseliishuess and virtue."
And that reads to us as if it were an ex
tract from Washington's farewell ad
dress.
