”itcontcs hard on us to take that girl!”
William Hurt grumbled to his wife. “When
llnry ran away with that Frenchman,
Dubi‘cuil, my father washed his hands of her,
”and to the day of his death he never men-
tioned her name, not even when the news of
her husband’s death came to us. They’ve
always lived in France, and I thought; we
>..wcre rid of them. She has no claim on us,
and yetnshe writes to me on her deathbed,
asking me to take her daughter. ”
"Well, she thought as you and Hiram got
all the prOpei-ty, and she was disinhet'ited,
you‘ought to give her daughter a home," nu-
swered Mrs. Hart.
She was almost as cold and hard and un-
dcmonstrutive as her husband, but, unlike
him, she was not selfish, and beneath her un-
sympathetic cxtcrior she had a strong sense
of duty.
i “That. girl didn’t; give us a chalice to say
. you or‘nal’ ," M‘f'. Hurt continued angrily.
‘(She'writes' that she .would sail the day after
her mother’s funeral, and by this telegram
she must be hero on the train today. Pretty
piece of business! I’ve the greatest mind in
the world to send her packing!”
The bomb linemen William Hart‘s" face
grow harsher as he dwelt: on his grievances.
It: should not have been a grievance to give :1
home to a. poor orphan niece. He was n
wealthy farmer, with thrco sous, two of
them coarse and robust like himself; the
youngest, Robert, a. weakly, frctful invalid
: about 18 ears old. 3
, “I don, see the use of making 5. fuss,” Mrs.
311:3st in 131ch voice. “Hir;am‘s 'dea'd,
ond’you happen to be Lucille Dubreuil's only
relative, so you’ve got to take her. You
can’t turn a girl of 17 out 011 the world. I
dare say she’ll givoadeal of trouble—girls
always do; pond, then she’s foreign and not
used" _ [Our fire 5.”, g, _ - .,
“I don‘t microfiber not being tiSed to our

pnufie‘j‘; butiqthc fiestion wit me is, How uré
goiug‘fm‘; puhpp with hérs? ‘Falfnys did de-I
spisc Frenchifiecl people!”
“Here comes the train now!” said his wife
“And yes, there’s a girl getting out, in
deep black. I suppose it’s she.”
The sgntion was only a few steps from the
farm etc, but. those few steps Mr. Hart did
not ta 0. Ho and his wife leaned upon the
low gate, and watched curiously a. little
figure hurrying toward them. A lad who
was showing her the way pointed to the
farmer and his wife, and then returned to
‘ the station.
She ran hastily forward, licr veil thrown
back from her small, pale face, her large gray
cycs alight with cagerncss, and an appealing
smile on her lips.
“Ah, you are mon onclcl”shc cried, and
the next moment her arms were around the.
farmer’s neck, and her kisses on his cheek.
Ho almost pushed her from him.
“Yes, I‘m your uncle,” he said, coldly,
“but you needn't choke me. This is your
Aunt Jane.”
_ His voice and repellent manner jarred
upon Lucillc’s sensitive nature. She drew
back. and gazed timidly at the tall, stern
faced woman before her. She dared not
proffer n caress which had already been re-
pulsed, but she took Mrs. Hart’s hand with u
- look which would have gone to any woman’s
heart. Whether it did or not, it never on-
tered her aunt’s mind to kiss the girl and
make her welcome.
“Yes, I’m your uncle‘s wife,” she an-
swered, stifi’ly, “and I hope you’re going to
bengobd girl, and not make us too much
trouble.”
“Why, she isn’t but; a mite,” her uncle
said, gazing at her disapproviugly, “and
Mary wasafine, largo girl. But: then that
little whippersnapper of a Frenchman wasn’t
bigger than u. pint cup.” .
“Hush!” said his wife, in at low voice.
But Lucille, who had never heard the word
“whippersnapper” before, and understood
English but; imperfectly, only gazed inquir—
ingly at the speaker. .
“Well, come to the house, and take off

way, Lucille following her, with all elasticity

and her lovely mnmma’s brother? 0h, why
did momma. send her to them?” .
“Here’s your room,” Mrs. Hart said, open-
ing a door, “and there’s your trunk been
brought up. You’d better-have a wash: be-
fore you come down to dinner.”
“Merci, madame!” Lucille Said.
“I mean
I tank you, my aunt." ~1r

that,” Mrs. Hart said, withgufirim smile,
“or you’ll he laughed ain’t Harry up,-f6r I
can’t keep your dinner waiting; it’s against '-
iny rules.” ' ' .
As she closed the door Lucille sank on hef‘
knees by the bed, and burying her face in it,
weptr violently. “Ah,” she sobbed, in her
own dear language, “I don’t understand their
words, but their looks, yes! They do not
want me. They- grudge me the shelter of
their roof. They despise me. Ah, why,
when mammn died, did I not stay in Dinard
as a servant, a nurse, anything rather than
come to these cold hearts? Ah, dear Dinardl
If I could go back, if I could wake up in my
own little room and find thisf‘nn ugly
dream!” '
She closed her eyes, and before her rose the
fields of Dinard, with their masses of scarlet
poppies against the dull green background of
waving grain. The solemn rhythm of the
sea. was in her ears, she was dancing the
- ronde with her playmates by moonlight, and
her m'bther‘s beautiful eyes were smiling
tenderly at her.
“Ah, she wanted m to come !” Lucille
said, resolutely. She knew what was best for
,me, and I will be brave and cheerful and try
' to make them love me.”
As she smoothed her hair before the small
mirror, you saw Lucille was not pretty. She
was pale and thin, but her eyes were full of
expression, and her movements easy and
‘vgrnceful. . There was refinement in the girl’s
very look, and gesture, the refinement; of
~"good breeding and good blood on her father’s
‘ side, and her pretty mother had been quick
to mold her own habits and tastes on those
of her husband’s. The family was half
through r’dinner when Lucille entered the
kitchen._ Her uncle looked up. ‘ .
‘fYou éan’t: be 1huiigry' much, or you. tnko
too long to drink. This is yourcou‘sin Lucy,
boys. That’s her name in this house, for no
Frenchified ‘Lucille’ for me.
“Lucy,’that’s,your cousin Stephen," point-
ing withhls knife to the larger of the two
tall young men, who grinned and, looked
shecpish, but did not rise from.their seats,
and extendu hand of welcome. “This is
James , and hercj'sv‘ilob, é .no;uccot_mt crip-
ple, as you on; see. - You’d‘bettersit'by him,
I reckon, you’re both. so puny.” . '
The youngfmeu timed and looked mcro
sheepish than ever, :33 their cousin, with her
pretty, graceful" step, went to each, shook
hands, and tried.to say a few courteous
.words in English, which only mado'them

wcrcred., " ‘ ,, "
“If youd’on’t talk the funniest ‘lingpli’ her

”travelers, are English. Iwilllenrii it bien-
tot. ~My cousins vil! help me,” With an upr
pealing smile at them which they met
stolidly.
To Lucille that. dinner was a. revelation of
how much men could eat, and how loudly
they could talk‘without quarreling. Gazing
at them she was reminded- of u menageric,
where she once saw the animals fed.
Bob alone was sulky and silent. He was
offended at what his father had said about
him, and leaned back in his seat eating nct' -
ing, and giving fretful answers to his mother.
When Stephen and James left the table to
measure a. pony, over whose height; they had
had a fierce altercation, Dob followed them,
and as he took his first step Lucillo saw that
he was lame—n most painful lameness. where
one of his feet doubled up as it touched the
floor.
To Lucille’s surprise, neither father nor
mother tried to assist hint, but his father
called out roughly, as the boy stumbled:
“Serves you right for trying to get along
vithout your crutch! Folks will notice your
foot just the same if that‘s what your trying
to hide.”
Lucille did not understand the words of the
boy’s reply as he turned his angry face to his
father, but the look and tone shocked and
surprised her. Whatever may be the faults
of French training, want of respect to par-
ents and old persons is not among them.
As for Bob, blind with anger, he tripped
up against :1. box lying on the floor and fell
flat.
In a. moment Lucille was beside him, and
as he scrambled up, she took his arm.
“Vill you not lean on me?” she said, in her

soft voice. “I can help you out. ”
“Leisure alone. will vou!” he cried, roughly

tiepulsed, and coloring hotly, the girl re-
turned to her seat. Her aunt’s manner was
gentler to her that evening. \Vhethcr it was
her proffer of service to the cripple, who was
the only one of the family on whom the stern
mother lavished anything like tenderness, or
whether she felt some sympathy for Lucillc’s
mortificntion, she was certainly kinder.
But; what words could point the stranger’s
homesickncss as she bent over a piece of
crochet. to hide her tears that; evening! She
was outside the family circle. They spoke a.
language almost unknown to her, and they
were interested in things she had never heard
of. N 0 one addressed a word or look to her,
as she sat at some distance from them, feeling
herself too wretched to live.
She was startled at llob’s voice in her car.
“I say, Lucy, you look awfully lonesome
here."
“Lonesome?" sho repeated; f‘tvhnt you call
(lat? Ah, yes, settle! Yes, yes. It is to break
do heart; to be lonesome.”
“Well, this hard; but when you can talk
English you won't mind, you know.”
“I will talk English nevaire, ucvaire!" she
cried, raising her hands with a despairing
gesture. “It; is too diflicilc. Ah, but my
tongue refuse to learn.”
Bob laughed. Hero was one inmate of the-
fainily more \vretched'andmoro helpless tha‘u
himself.
“I say, Lucy,” he began, sheepishly. “You
didn’t mind when I liollered at. you because
you wanted to help me? You don’t know my:
ways yet,-but I’d r'athcr fall and break my
neck than have any Oilo help me.”
She understood enough to know that; he
was making a kind of apology for his rough-
ness. .
“Ah, no!” she cried, “I don’t mind notiu if
you vill me help to learn (lat; dreadful Eng-
lish data ties up my tongue.”
“I’ll do it,” and the compact was sealed.
Lucille did not; know that Bob’s English was
the worst of Its kind, for the Hart family
were ignorant, and had known little of
schools, but human interest was just. then
what. she was yearning for. -‘
, , In her quiet, unobtrusive way," the girl
made herself useful to all the family. To’
her aunt her ready, cheerful service was in-
valuable, and even her uncle would shout for
“Lucy” when a. button was ,wanted on his
shirts or a. message must be sent; to a neigh-
boring farm. She was so gentle, so courteous,
so unselfish and ready to oblige, that a. house-
hold whicii had known nothing Of those
qualities bcforo began to find them very nec—
essary to their comfort.
As for Bob, he often wondered how he had
lived without his cousin, to interest him in
her bright stories of foreign countries, to
beat up his pillows and bathe his head when
ho was ill, and make herself in slave to his
sick whims. But much as Lucille had grown
into the hearts of tho Hart household, they
were not demon..trntivc, and in the next two
years her :uuiL- had never caressed her, and
not even fro i 30'.) had she ever heard one
word of affection.
How the poor, sore little heart longed for
loving words and looks! How impossible to
her emotional French nature did it seem for
people to feel an ufi‘ection they were neither
nblc nor willing to express! They did not
notice that the pale, thin girl became daily
paler and thinner, and homesickness grew
licrcer and stronger in her heart. Not. so
much a longing for Dinard as for the loving
words and tender caresses of her humble
friends there. ,
There are tender, simple natures like
Lucillc's iii the world, but, thank God,
they are. few for their own sakes. Even
Lucillc’s dreams become troubled by
that; cruel nostalgia which was consuming
her life. She would be back at: Dinord, and
with the murmur of the waves would mix
the sweet, shrill voices of her companions, as
they sang the ronde:
Nous n’irons plus an hols.
Les lauriers sent coupes.
Then she would wake up, her face wet with
tears and her bosom shaking with sobs. But
one morning she did not: wake to conscious-
ness, and, her aunt, going into the room,
found her muttering in a kind of low delirium.
“Typhoid fever,” the doctor said, “and
there is no constitution to resist it.”
She faded slowly away, patient and quiet,
with long intervals of consciousness, until
the end came. She had fallen into a kind of
stupor, apparently the coma. which precedes
death, when she suddenly opened her eyes, to
see hernunt’s face bending over her bathed
in tears. Bob was sobbing on his knees by
the bed. and her uncles hard face was work-
ing couvulsivcly.
“0 Lucy, Lucy, don't leave us. my dear!”
sobbcd her aunt. “What shall we do with-
out you?”
She looked at them with surprise, and then
her pale lips parted in a charming smile.
“You love me, you want; me,” she cried,
“and I did not know! Kiss me, aunt, oh,
kiss me once!”
Her aunt raised her head, and with that
farewell caress, the loving tender soul went
forth to find its kind.
No one can say Lucille’s life was lived
quite in vain, for Mrs. Hart became gentler
and more womanly because of it. As for
Bob, poor Bob! he never forgot his sweet
patient cousin, and he was a better on
worthicr man for the lesson of her life—M.
SEW PIPE FlRES.
Something Besides Wood.
The second annual report of the fire mar-
shal of the city of Boston for the year ending
May 1, 1888, contains, among other matters,
the following interesting information:
I have been able to satisfactorily trace the
origin of but five fires during the year to
steam pipes, and the circumstances surround-
ing these in no way tend to show that wood
in its normal condition, i. 0., when free from
any previous desiccation, is in danger- of be-
coming iguitcd in this manner. In other
words, ignition in said cases appears to be
merely a certain species of what is popularly
termed “spontaneous combustion,” the steam
pipes themselves being merely one of many
indirect factors which often assist in produc-
ing such combustion. Although the subject
has been discussed pro and con from the year
1846, when Chief Braidwood, of the London
fire brigade, first addressed the house of
lords on the topic, to the present time, when
the opinions of experienced persons litter-
ested in the matter seem ,to be somewhat
conflicting, I find by far the preponderance
of evidence in favor of the conclusion that
wood, subjected for a number of years to the
heat of steam pipes, may eventually reach
such a state of carbonization (is, with the ad-
dition of moisture, exposure to a draught of
air, or under the influence of friction, caused
by expansion and contraction of the pipes,
may break into flame. As the ignition point
of ordinary pine wood has been determined,
by experiment, to be 700 dogs. Fahrenheit, it
,js evident that this must be reduced by some
process in order to admit of its taking fire at
29:: dogs, the temperature of steam under a
pressure of sixty pounds.
I have found one of the most frequent
causes of fires, which are directly traceable
:to steam pipes, to be the self ignition of dust,
fluff, small pieces of paper, waste, etc., which
seem especiuny attracted to the neighbor-
hood of 't'nclosed steam pipes through almost
imperceptible crevices. In several such in-
stances thc fires have been fortunately dis-
covered aud extinguished before doing any
harm. P. A. Montgomery, secretary of the
iVestei-n Mauufncturcrs’ Mutual Insurance
company, in special report N0. 5 cf the Man-
fncturcrs’ Mutual Insurance company, refers
to this saute element of danger, and suggests,
as a remedy, the use of a funnel shaped cast-
ing, cast in two parts, from three to six
inches in height, fitting close at the top, and
screwed to the floor, where the pipe passes
through; and he further recommends thatm
thimble of some non-combustible material
should be put through the hole in the floor
or partition and securely fastened on either
side, in order to protect the wood from con-
tact; with the pipe.
The light sheathing b which the pipss
are often 2covered, be! ' . obliged“ ’ ' .
stantly absorb the confinedaStgmn '_ '
extremely liable to 'reachl.,p._.da ga' '
tiou terrmcmture. Sheathing med .
such condition by being in 01050 contact
with the pipe, and so placed as to be suscep-
tible to more or less friction, .causcd one of
the five fires herein referred to; another was
caused by lumber dust in the dry house of
n planing tnill sifting through the flooron to
the pipes. The desirability of employing
SOIDO' sort of non-combustible covering for
steam pipes, to prevent their contact with
wood, dust, etc., is apparent. They should
never be inclosed in wood sheathing. Pro-

Too Plain for the Girls.
The state of Pennsylvania has lately passed
claw which introduces a radical chat-go in
its marriage custonts. Under this act a
couple may appear beforeo. probate court
and sign and have recorded a. marriage con-
tract which constitutes as full and complete
amurriago as though the parties had been
united by a preacher or a. magistrate. But:
what. girl'would cure to be married in this
simple and uuceremonious style? She wants
a preacher, elaborate toilets, friends, flowers
and presents. The new marriage method
will not be popular with girls who regard
matrimony as the principal event of their
lives and want to do it up with becoming
display and ceremony.—-—Chicago Herald.

Thousand Souls. I .
o
I went; to see a criminal executed by tho
method known as tho “garrote.” When I
reached the spot the avenue and the roadway
to the jail was packed with natives of all
shades, as was every place in the vicinity
where a view of the field and scaffold was
possible. i believe there were fully 10,000
natives there—men, women and children—
and as they have a weakness for bright colors
in their scanty garments they formed a. very
“circus poster” picture. In a double hollow
square around the scaffold was a regiment of
infantry, Spanish and native, and n cavalry
company occupied a position itt double line
at the extreme right. Under the bamboo
trees that; line the avenue rind jail roadway,
and iii the shade of the jail wall, were
gathered groups of Europeans and Spanish
army officers, but; the soldiers and native
spectators were exposed to the direct rays of
the suit, which I could not have endured for
any great length of time. I was armed with
a good sun umbrella, but I sought ashndy
place under some bamboo trees just; as such
as I could get there.
DESCRIPTION OF run Gannoru.
To the left of the center of the field stood
the seaflold and “gnrroto.” A merely cus-
ual glance ntjt is calculated to send a. thrill
of horror‘through every fiber of the body,
for it seems to be one of the cruclest instru-
ments of death imaginable. It can be briefly
described. It consists only of a strong up-
right post, midway upon which projects a
piece of inch board for the condemned to sit
up‘on. It; isn't a. very comfortable seat, but
he probably never gives it: a thought: after
the execution begins. Above the seat, placed
at a proper height to catch the prisoner’s
neck, is tho-“Wrote,” It is a screw lever
attached to an iron collar, and looks as if ’it
might be a letter copying press slightly re-
constructed The screw does not pass
through the post, but through a flat iron
band which passes around to the front, be-
ing heldin place by grooves in the wood.
' Tho condemned, with his hands and feet
heavily manncled, is placed upon the seat
and his body is bound firmly with cords to
the upright post. The flat iron band is then
clasped securely about his throat, and at a
signal - m the proper official the execu-
tioner begins to tu'm- the screw very much
as you would turn the screw on 2. copying
press. The neck of the prisoner is gradually
pressed back against the post, the flat iron is
drawn tighter and tighter against the throat,
blood starts from the mouth and uosti‘ils, the
tongue is forced out; over the chin and the
man dies in' the most horrible agony. '
The executioner, who stands behind the
victim, in full view of every one, must have
an exceedingly peculiar mind, to say the
least. Fortunately, a black cap is drawn
completely over the head and face of the
condemned, and the fearful contortions of
his face cannot be seen, but one can readily
imagine how the face looks as the iron collar
slowly chokes the life out of the body.
Presently a procession of about a dozen
black robed priests, several acolytes and a
delegation from the Society of Peace and
Charity came moving slowly up the avenue,
and turned into the jail to give the prisoner
the last cousolations of his religion. They
heavily
weighted and decorated with pure silver em-
broidery and filngrec work, in the center of
which was a. most artistically executed oil
painting of the Virgin Mary, while the neo-
lytcs carried crucifixes and a pail of holy
water, all of solid silver.
The procession passed into the jail yard to
the little chapel, where the prisoner sat un-
der guard waiting for the final summons.
And, oh, what a pitiful sight he presented!
Promptly at. 8 o‘clock—40 the second—a
small bell in the jail yard sounded and a
guard appeared with a. pair of heavy hand-
cuffs, which were quickly clasped upon the
wrist: of the trembling prisoner, 30 was
lifted to his feet, but. seemed too weak ‘to
walk, and was supported on either side by a,
jail guard. Near him stood a priest, who
whispered words of encouragement to him
occasionally, and a procession was formed
for the march to the scaffold. In advance
walked an altar boy with alnrgo bell, which
he tolled monotonously as he moved alon ,
and then came the prisoner and guards, to -
lowed by the priest and acolytes bearing the
beautiful silver banner. On each side marched
a. file of soldiers, and the jail officials and a
few privileged spectators brought up the
rear. The solemn procession moved slowly
out; of the chapel through the jail yard, at
distance of perhaps twenty yards,'und into
the outer yard to the main gate, about forty
yards further, nnddown the roadway to the
field. At this point the commander of the
military placed himself at the head of the
column, and marched with it to the foot of
the steps leading to the scaffold.
The executioner, dressed in an ordinary
business suit, had already reached his post,
had given the screw lever a turn or two to
see if it was in proper working order, and
had placed the ropes ' so that the prisoner
could be quickly bound to the upright beam.
He threw open the iron throat clasp, hung
his hat on the top of the post and was ready-
to proceed with his part of the transaction.
sna'rcnnn rnox DEATH. ‘
Suddenly there was a movement in the
crowd near the jail entrance and a. man was
seen working his way toward the scaffold.
The lines of soldiers opened'und SEnorélzinto,
one of the aids or: “uyudautes” of the gov-
ernor general, rushed into full view shouting:
“Stop! Stop! In the name of her majesty.”
Probably the most’ dramatic scene 1 ever
witnessed in" real life then followed. As
Senor Pinto hurried across the field the
priests on the Scaffold knew at once what had
occurred, and they set up a wild shout:
“He lives! Long live the queen!”
“You’re not to die; the queen has pardoned
you!” some one shouted in the prisoner’s ear,
and he sunk to the floor in a dead faint.
Then the vast multitude began to realize
what; had occurred, and from 10,000 throats
arose the wild cry :.
“He lives! Long live the queen l”
“Viva! Vivnll Viva!!!”
Then the priests raised the bewildered
prisoner on their shoulders, and he passion-
utely kissed the image of the Virgin on the
beautiful banner, while the crowd raised a
deafening shout of:
“Viva! Vivazl Viva ! ! l”
He had at; last realized that ho was not to
die, and his tear stained face beamed with
joy and gratitude. The crowd, now released
from restraint, cried and shouted, and gave
vent 'to its feelings in every possible way.
The march from the scaffold back to the jail
was quickly done, the thousands of spectators
following closely behind, shouting lustily
until the outer gates were closed in their
faces, and then the intense excitement began
to decrease. The crowd soon dispersed, and
within a. few hours all traces Of the exciting
dvent had been removrd—Manillo; Cor. St.

”arrayed by an Apple.
A bright detective in Macon captured a
burglar in a very clever manner. A store in
Hazelhnrst had been robbed, and there was
seemingly not; the slightest clew to work
upon. While examining the premises the dc-
tective noticed an apple, out of which two
bites had been taken. His professional in-
stinct caused him to examine the apple, and
he saw upoh it tooth marks that were not
only irregular, but peculiar, and be resolved
to find the man that had bitten that apple.
He visited a store in a neighboring village
where he knew there were a number of 1081'-
ing negroes. Among the number there was
a real neflo dude, and jhis manner and con-
versationi‘convinced the detective that he had
found thev‘man he" wanted, but it was neces-
sary to put him‘ to the test.
Spying some apples in the store the wily
detective purchased a dime’s worth and
treated the crowd. The dude negro had
taken just one bite, and as he was raising the
apple for another away went the apple and
his two wrists were joined with a shining
pair of bracelets. It was done so‘ quickly
that the negro stood as if paralyzed and sub-
mitted to be led off without resistance. Ho
subsequently owned up to the entire affair.

Dangerous Vegetables.
There is light at last on nsubject of vast
importance to all vegetable eaters. It seems
that a green vegetable is as surely injurious
to health as green fruit. But cooking will
generally render a. fruit harmless, while it
will not do so for a vegetable. A recent case
of wholesale poisoning of French soldiers
was traced to the solanine in unripe potatoes.
This csculent is poisonous more often than is
supposed. If dug before maturity the tuber
is by no means safe. But for worse is it to use
a potato for food that has, after being dug,
been exposed to the light. for any length of
time. They should be stored in the ‘dark as
soon as dug. If bitter they should never be
eaten. The more discoveries are made as to
our health and to our sanitary needs the less
we seem near to a true knowledge of the best
conditions for sustaining, health and life.—

evolved. Any one may observe the process
who will take the trouble to study closely

influence of good women is needed in every'

in a school of boys. When the school is
large enough to have at its head a strong,
nblc man, to whom in cases difficulty and
rebellion the ladies of the corps can appeal,
all goes well. They seldom need to appeal.
The mere knowledge that: the man is there,
with his strong arm and his possible stick, is
usually a deterrent that suffices. But )vhen

out with them alone, day after day, with no
resource against persistent disorder, which is
a. confession. of defeat, we do something
which is extremely likely to result; in the de-
velopment of wild boys.
It is surprising how well many of our
gentle and resolute indies manage, unsup-
ported us they are by visible force. But out
of every fifty boys there are likely to be as
manyas five who will defy the teacher, if
‘not totally conquer and frustrate her, to the
extent of making her life a daily renewal of
bitterness and shame. ' If we place a. lady
bound to supplement; her. We must arrange
it so that, at any moment of need, she can
summon by telephone or otherwise a. super-
intendent, a selectman, a trustee, with a. stout
policeman accompanying him, well provided
with the means of subduing the rebel. He is
always a coward. Let: him but know that
his gentle teacher has this resource and it
will usually keep him in order.
As a people, I fear we are a. little too soft
and sentimental about childhood. We might
advantageously caress it a little less and
study it much more. Children, like other
musical instruments, give forth music only
when they are played upon by a. skillful hand.
organ full of pipes, trumpets and flutes.
\thn a master touches the keys and works
the pedals, the mighty instrument fills all the
region with haztuony. It is wofully other-
wise when airunskillful or insufficient player
fills the organist’s scat. _. 3
A well governed child, that is, a. child that
has learned reasonable obedience without loss
of natural vivacity, is the most enchanting
object in the universe. It graces and cheers
every home of which it is a. part. Every cye
rests upon it with pleasure and benediction.
But alas! on ungoverned or misgoverned
child can easily become something hideous
and terrific. No creature can be more cruel.
In my life I have known two or three in-
stances of cruelty to children from parents
and teachers, but it seems to me I have
known a. hundred cases of the most savage
cruelty committed by children upon parents,
teachers and one another. They are cruel
because they are young. A proper considera-
tion for the rights and feelings of others is
not naturally a trait of childhood; it belongs
to maturity. It comes with knowledge of
life and experience of suffering. Hence the
necessity of children being instructed in cle-
mentary morals, and of their being com-
pelled, if necessary, by the strong band, to
respect other people’s rights.
In truth, stable virtuo in all its forms be-
longs to maturity, while vice is a thing
green, raw, mindless, stupid, immature. In
our schools and colleges it is the crude, pro-
vincial minds that: give trouble, and when we
visit one of our prisons, we find that three-
fourths of the criminals there are little more
than wild b0 5 in a. cage—James Patton in

Raising Coyotes for Their Scalps.
Some Lake country cowboys lassoed two
coyotes, ripped off theirscnlps and let; them
go. The scalps were passed in and the
county paid the prescribed bounty on them.
The coyotes were not so lively after the op-
eration, and in a few days were both killed
by a rancher. He was disgusted to find that
their scalps were both gone, and, having
killed the varmints, thought: he was entitled
to the bounty on producing their carcasses.
He certainly was not. The bounty is offered
for their scalps, which i t was intended should
be taken from the dead carcass. The cow-
boys intended the coyotes to run until their
scalps had grown again, and the farmer
gathered the animals before the second crop
of scalp was ripe. It was a barbarous trick
to take off the scalp of a. live unimal,.aud the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Coyotes should take the matter in hand.—

per 100, the drayage two cents, and commis-

socks, consumed the entire proceeds of the
sale, leaving the faruteruot a cent for his
seed, the labor of planting, cultivating,
harvesting and shipping, which, as any one
knows who has heed, dug and picked up pota-
toes, is no trifling mutton—Portland Ore-

There are plenty of instances where‘ men
have been seized by lions and lived to relate
the particulars, though no two agree as to
sensations. A week subsequent to our cup-
turo of the three lions I bud been outwith
some of the natives to prepare a. bolt in a
rocky ravine. W'o had built; a stout; pen of
rocks and logs and placed acalf asabuit.
The sun was nearly down as we started for
camp, and no one had the. least suspicion of
the presence of danger until a; lion, which
har‘ een crouching beside n bush, sprang out
an knocked me down. .In springing upon
his prey the lioti or...thc tiger strikes as ho
seizes. This blow of tho paw, if it falls on
the right: spot. disables the victim at once.
I was so near this fellow thatho simply
reared up, seized the by the shoulder on
pulled me down, and I was flat, on the earth
before I realized what had happened. I was
on my back, arid he stood with both paws on
my middle, facing the natives and growling
savagely. The men run of about 300 feet
and then linltcd, which was doubtless tho ,_
reason why I was not carried off at once. I
can say without conctfit that; I was fairly
cool. It had come so suddenly that I had not
had time to get rattled. I had been told by:
an old Boer hunter, if I ever found myself in
this fix, to appeal to the lion’s fears. Had I
moved my arm to get my pistol, the beast
would have lowered his head and seized my
throat. So long as I lay quiet he would
reason that I was dead, and give his atten-
tion to the natives.
All of nsuddeuIbnrked out like a. dog,
followed by a grow], and that; beast jumped
twenty feet in his surprise. He came down
between mo audtho natives, and Iturncd
enough to_scc that his tail was down and
that he was scared. I uttered further barks .
and growls, but without moving a. hand, and,
after making a circle clear aroundmc, the
lion suddenly bolted and went off with a.
scare which would last him a, week. If you -
had picked up a stick and discovered it to be
a snake you would do just as the lion did.
He supposed ho had pulled down a man.
The man turned into a. dog. It appeal..l to
his fears. -
After the lion had gone I grew so weak
that I had to be carried to camp. He had
inflicted :1 pretty bad bite on my shoulder, '
and it was a fortnight before I could hold my .
gun for an ofi’bnnd shot. I had the i:;'csc;co
of a. fourth captive during this time to con-
sole me, however. No animal went near the
calf on the first or the second night, but on
the third we captured a fine linlf grown
male, and got him caged without trouble.
Curiously enough, ho had offered the calf no
violence, being overcome by the situation,
and when we found him the two seemed on
the best of terms—Cor. New York Stair.

A HELP TO PHYSlClANS.
The Pltonograpii 'Shown to Be of Service
i in Making Diagnosis.
. Although some ten years have elapsed
since Mr. Thomas A. Edison startled the
world by inventing a. machine that stored
up, sound and reproduced it at will, it is
only within the past few months that this
wonderful invention has been brought to
such degree of perfection as makes it of prac-
ticul utility to the public at large. Some
time has passed since I began to investigate
the practicability of this machine, so its to
give to the medical world a better and more
certain Illf‘leS of teaching, recording, repro-
' ducing and demonstrating the physicalsigus
or sounds of the normal as well as of the dis-
eased condition of the heart and lungs.
. At this early stage of my experimentsl
. must say that I predict; a great future for it,
and the opening of a new field for investiga-
tion in phyjsical diagnosis and teaching.
It is n'very extraordinary fact that; while
the deepest tone that our cars are capable of
Theo ifiging is one containing sixteen vibra-
' ti6n a second, the phonograph will record
ten vibrations or less, an can'thcn raise th‘d’
pimh until we hear a reproduction from thd ‘

wh’o Coquetry There.
A pretty Japanese maiden, dressed in soft
embroidered silk, sitting on the floor, bend-
.huz nun: :1 knto. on which she strums an ac-
companiment to her voice, wOuld iii nnprub-
ability touch the heart of a. young J apauese;
but no matter how much he might be
touched, he must appear utterly indifferent
to her, and ignore her charms and her pres-
ence. For, progressive as is Japan, young
men and women are never allowed together
alone, and such a. thing as a flirtation or co-
quetry is unknown. Unlike China or Corea,
J upon allows parents to invite a. young gen-
tleman to their house as guest, but be de‘
votes his time to the parents; the daughter
may play the koto, or entertain him in other
ways, but she is noticed no more than is a
colored servant woman by aguest. in a. south-
ern homo.
It seems strange to us that custom can so
control feelings and sentiment, especially
when every day we see here at home young
then doing the exact opposite, ignoring pa-
rents and older members of the family, and
feigning more interest in the young women
than they really feel. Marriages in Japan
are carried on much as they used to be, the
parent making the choice; but nowadays if
it: chance that either young lady or gentle-
. man object to become husband or wife, the
parents do not force the matter, and, as a
rule, babies are not betrothed by their pa-
rents as they are in some other Asiatic coun-
tries. Neither nre women so secluded as
,Ehcy are in those countries, for nearly as
'mnuy Japanese women are to be seen On the
streets in J upon as are American women in
this country. In fact, the Japanese woman
or girl is to Asia what the American girl is
l to Europe—American thaziuc.
The Mangosteen.
Travelers in Java have filled pages and
columns with rhapsodies over the mango-
steen , and all unite in extolling it as the su-
premo delight of the tropics. Tho mango-
steeu appears to one use. hard round fruit
the size of npench. Its hard outer shell or
rind isof the same color and thickness as a
green walnut, but in this brown husk llo Six
or eight segments of creamy white pulp.
The little' segments are easily separated, and
tmnsfcrred to the mouth melt away, the
pulp being as soft and fine as a. custard.
The mungostecn’s delicate pulp tastes, its all

tnrtness is veiled iittiicsc delicious flavors,

offered, and P. and O. steamships have made
hundreds of ineffectual efforts to get a has-
ket of maugosteens to England for the queen.
The hard rind looks unchanged for weeks,
but the delicate pulp melts away, and the

Gentlemen—Seven years ago I contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I
tried a physician, the best at: command, but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get: sore, and my body covered \vith sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to wor'se, I
felt that my grave must be reached in’thc
near future. I gave up the doctors' treat-
ment, and with a despairing hope I com-
menced taking your medicine. I began to
improve fr‘om the first bottle, rind in a short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but: two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.
