AN INDICTMENT.

LOW brewed woman that stole my love!
Fairer than 1 —-less true!

You fooled him first with your wily tongue
And your eyes’ deceitful blue.

You looked in his, till you made him swear
His first love was all a dream;

While you let him toy with your yellow hair.
And bask in your smile‘s false gleam.

Well-a-day for your eyes so bright'.
“’eeping has made mine dim;
You would smile on, though he lay in his grave -
I could have died for him.
—Hartford Times.

Typhoid and Diphtheria.

I think there is always either in typhoid :

fever or diphtheria some local cause. It is
often very difficult to get at. The common
cause of typhoid fever is contamination
through the water supply. It is very feebly

contagious from one to another, if at all, -

though there is slight danger through the ex.-
crement. Sewer gas does not generally gen-
erate typhoid, it is more apt to generate
diphtheria. The theory of Pettenkofer. the
German scientist, is that wherever the water
supply reaches a certain low level, in the
warm season, and when we have rapid dc-
composition of the water, and in consequence
of this deficient water supply the poison be-
comes concentrated. There is no doubt but
that there is a great deal of truth in this.

Diphtheria is due to a special poison, and
the common source is through infection, but
I believe it is often produced by the accumu-
lation of animal and vegetable poisons, de-
compositions; for instance, damp and musty
cellars, ill ventilated and old vaults. The
epidemic of diphtheria at Elsrnere, England,
was traceable to the accumulations of human
excreta under the school house. These poi-
sons escape through the sewer, which is the
common lodgment of them, through leaks in
the pipe where thq plumbing is bad. Then
the rooms of the houses are artificially heat-
ed, and people are kept where the poison is.
New York has been free from diphtheria for
twenty—five years, and We have more or less
of it every year. The common remedy for
diphtheria is to avoid the danger by infec—
tion and have perfect cleanliness of the prem-
ms, and the best common law in reference to
typhoid fever is to have pure food and pure
water.—Dr. George B. Orr inCincinnati Eu-
quirer.

Actor and Archbishop.

His grace of Canterbury. after expressing
his emphatic disapproval of children making
anexhibition of themselves upon the stage
or anywhere else, drew a contrast between
the happy, innocent and Christian life of the
choir boys to that of the unhappy theater
child.

“The choir boy,” he continued, “goes to
God’s house with his heart full of religious
sentiment, to sing God’s praise. In school
choir boys are invariably the best boys, and
inafter life they do not forget their early
Christian training, which so admirably fits
them for the battle of life they are called
upon to fight. It is both unfair and unkind
to infer that choir boys make an exhibition
of themselves. They sing for the glory of
God in a building which is set apart for
God’s worship. This is not the case with
theatre children. They sing or act because
they are hired to do so and not for any feel-
ing of reverence for their art.”

“There I venture,” broke in Mr. Irving,
“to entirely disagree with your grace.
With most children the theatre is their
church, just as much as the cathedral is the
choir boys’ church. They. moreover, learn
grace and deportment on the theatre boards,
and are taught to sing and speak properly.
Surely this counts for something.”

The archbishop was silent.

“W'ith respect to the choir boys,” contin-
ued . Irving, “I have attended many ca-
thedrals, and I am sorry to say that I have
not noticed that the boys were dominated by
that religious fervor of which your grace so
eloquently speaks.”

“I am sorry. Mr. Irving,” rejoined the
archbishop, “to hear you say so.”—London
Mirror.

“Peter’s Stable.”

Travelers in Tipperary are shown a singular
survival of ancient architecture and are told
how it came to be called “Peter’s Stable.”
This Peter was a favorite horse of one of the
old Irish kings, and was given by him to a
country baron as a reward for exceptional
loyalty. Peter was intelligent to a degree,
and frequently saved children’s lives in a
variety of ways. He came to his death when
at his prime by over zeal in the cause of
humanity. His master’s wife was attacked
by a ferocious horse, which threw her to the
ground and would have trampled her todeath
had not Peter galloped up and beaten the
brute off. While the lady’s rescuer was stand-
ing over her, the baron came up and, con-
cluding that Peter was the assailant, ordered
the noble brute shot. The sentence was exe-
cuted before the baroness recovered conscious-
ness and explained the occurrence-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

The Attraction.

The talented lady who is the guardian
angel of The Norway Advertiser owns a hand-
some cedar boat, finished with shellac and
fastened with shining copper nails. She is an
able sportswoman, and while fishing on Lake
Pennesseewassee she noticed that the black
bass insisted on following her boat about,
while refusing to take the fly. Evidently
they were attracted by something. The first
and most natural inference of other observers
was that this was a tribute to the fair fisher-
woman; but an examination of the intcrior
of a bass showed that he had been feeding on
a beetle that resembled in color the copper
nail heads in the boat. It was not a very
long jump to the conclusion that the bass
mistook nails for bugs, only to find out that
alllis not grub that glitters.—Lewiston J our-
na .

Blood of the Presidents.

Eight of the twenty-three presidents were
certainly of English origin: Washington, the
two Adamses, the two Harrisons, Tyler, Tay-
lor and Lincoln. Fillmore’s name indicates
equally English or Celtic blood, and Pierce’s
biographers do not trace his ancestry. Seven
American presidents were of Irish blood:
Madison, whose mother, Eleanor Conway.
was an Irish woman; Jackson, the hero of
New Orleans; Polk, Buchanan, Johnson. Ar-
thur and Cleveland, who was Irish on the
maternal side. Three were Scotch, Monroe,
Grant and Hayes; one, Jefferson, was of
Welsh ancestry; one. Van Buren, of Dutch;
one, Garfield, of German, and on his mother’s
s‘idte of French Huguenot blood. —Boston Bud-

Portable Ink.

Pads of portable ink may be had at some of
the stationers or dealers in such supplies, in
various places. The plan is of German ori-
gin, and at one time was used in this country,
though this was, as well as we remember, ten
or more years ago, and it may have fallen
mto disuse, though it certainly should be

' quite a boon to travelers. The portable ink

can readily be made by any one by simply
obtaining some aniline color of the desired
tint, making a strong solution of the same in
a little alcohol, immersing in the solution suit-
ably cut strips of absorbent paper, and allow-
ing these to dry, when they will be ready for
:fin the manner above described—Paper

Curious Facts About the Finger Nails.

Medical Classics is authority for the follow- '

ing curious and interesting statements in re-

gard to the growth of the finger nails. They

will be new to most readers:
; The average rate of growth of the finger
‘ nails has been estimated at one millimeter,

or two-fifths of a line per week; a rate quad-

ruple that of the toe nails, which require four
3 weeks to grow the same length. This growth
j continues with little variation, even during
f disease, but the portion of the nail then
' formed is thinner and deficient. in strength.
, In sudden and acute diseases, and in those
; accompanied with extreme debility, this
i attenuation is sufficient to mark the nails
l with deep, transverse grooves, the upper sur-
. face of which is abrupt and clearly marked.
In scrofulous subjects these marks, together
with peculiar variegations, are very com-
monly observable. Extreme anxiety and
: mental depression have the same effect on the
g nails as physical disease.

It is interesting to watch the history of a
case of disease as recorded upon the finger
nails. When we look at the patient’s nails
we see on each of them a distinct ridge, show-
ing that the portion of the nail which has
grown since the acute attack is much thinned
out.

Take, for instance, a man in whom an
acute double pneumonia occurred a few
weeks ago. You will see on his finger nails
the ridge showing the acuteness of the at—
tack. This is quite distinct, and is seen on
all of the nails. These marks are very inter—
esting and tell us a perfectly straight story.
They will remain for at least two years. If
a person tells you that be has broken his
arm within eighteen mon' 45, you will see the
ridges on the nails of the nan-l of the alfected
side, while they will be absent on those of the
other side. If you are told that a patient
has had typhoid fever, look at his nails, and
if the statement is correct, you will find the
ridges. The more acute the illness the
sharper will be the ridge.

IVhen the illness comes on, the nutrition of
the body, includinyliiat of the nail, ceases

We all know abou hair falling out after
a disease like typh d fever. It only begins
to fall after the growth has recommcnced
and the hair is coming up out of the follicle.
The nail is a much more enduring evidence
of disease. If there has been an acute rheu-
mutism coming on within a few hours, with
a temperature of 104 or 105 degs., the nail
will be cut down sharply. The nails look as
though they had been cut across. In typhoid
fever, when the disease comes on gradually,
there is no such sharp cutting out of the nail.
There will rather be an area of thinning,
which will not be seen until the nail grows
beyond the white mark at its base.

Greenland Seals.

Young seals are brought forth on large
floating fields of ice in March. The baby
seals are born with white hair, which soon
changes to a soft, silky brown fur, and they
nestle on their frozen beds of ice as long as
they are suckled by their mothers. When
from 5 to 6 years old they can exist in water.
Then they begin to follow their mothers
about, much after the fashion of human ba—
bies, for their attention and the food of fish,
which they most dutifully provide. During
this period the mother seal is an alert and
hardy fisher. She will attack the most active
fish of these waters, save the shark, and we
had the testimony of Capt. Deschamps that
instances have been known where battles
hetWeen the food hunting mother seals and
these rapacious ruffians of the deep resulted
in the defeat and death of the latter. They
are powerful animals, and will force them—
selves up the most rugged salmon leaps to
attack the largest salmon. When the young
seals are 5 to 6 months old they are left to
shift for themselves. Nor are they given up
gradually.

Of a sudden the mother seems to determine
that sufficient time and energy have been ex-
pended upon them. Instantly she is a stranger
to the cub, and any further attempts at inti-
macy are resented in the most savage manner.
The Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Newfound-
land coves begin to fill with great herds of
Greenland seals in November. During the
entire whiter these break up into lesser herds

Here they remain until after the breeding
time is past, straggling along the coast until
May or June, when they disappear into the
Atlantic and head for Hudson’s and Bafiin’s
bays. Their migrations are as regular as
those of birds, and incomparably more cer-
tain than those of the herring and mackerel.
The harbor seals (phoca vitulina) are found
along these coasts at all seasons of the year,
and as our schooner threads the mazes of
coastwise islands, or glides past reef and ledge
of jutting headland, they are constantly seen
in their seemingly lifeless baskings in the sun
upon shelving rocks, occasionally turning and
flapping their shining flippers as if for easier
position in their siesta, or skimming through
shallow water and surfs, while turning their
almost human heads from side to side, like a
bevy of surprised and questioning mermaids,
astonished at our approach and untimely in-
trusion—Labrador Cor. New Orleans Pica-
yune.

The Bees and the Law.

The supreme court of the state of New
York has decided that it is a trespass for
honey bees to revel in flowers growing upon
land not belonging to the owner of the bees.
The ruling is just, but the fun will begin
when the owner of the land tries to avail
himself of this law and to find out just whose
bees are standing on their heads in his flowers
or pirating the honey from his own bees in
his own buckwheat field. There are diflicul-
ties in the way of his getting his wife to stitch
his initials in the wings of all bees from his
own apiary, as she would mark the corners
of his handkerchiefs or the northern zone of
his stockings. Nor would it be a pleasant
job to use a rubber stamp and mark each one
of his honey making insects. The latter would
object to this—pointedly. Cattle may be
branded, and sad eyed sheep can be frescoed
with a brush and paint, but the bee is not
formed by nature to wear 9 monogram of
its owner. Neither has nature fitted the bee
with a safe handle whereby it could be held
while undergoing the process of marking.
The most amiable boy would decline holding
a has for such or any other purpose. at least
would refuse to hold more than one. Even
to catch and insert a healthy bee in a device
made for the holding process would entail
pleasant results to the catcher. The tres-
passing of honey bees in New York state will
go on in spite of the supreme court, and the
busy and buzzing trespassers will go un-
stamped.-—Pittsburg Bulletin.

 

Too Fresh.

Jones was sitting on the front steps of an
Austin mansion one night, waiting for his
sweetheart to come out. She knew what
time to come, and Jones didn’t wish to ring
the bell for fear of alarming the old folks.

Presently he heard the door open", and the
old man muttered something about some-
body’s being “too fresh.”

“Did you address yourself to me?” asked
Jones, springing up with a flashing eye.

“No,” replied the old gentleman, mildly;
“I was speaking of the paint on the steps. It
was put there only this afternoon.”

Jones found with dismay that the statement
was true, and it only required about two
/minutas for him to reach his room and soap
and water.—Texas Sittings.

GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY OCTOBEIIQ, 1883.

A TRAGEDY OF MT. BLANC.

RECITAL OF THE HORRIBLE EVENT
OF SEPTEMBER, 1870.

 

1
A Party of Eleven Lost, Including Three
Americans —— Overtaken by a Blinding
Snow Storm—The Message Penciled by a.

Dying Baltimorean.

It was about 4 o’clock in the afternoon that
we entered the village of Chamouni in 1870,
and halted at our hotel. As we did we no-
ticed that something unusual had occurred.
Groups of men and women were standing
around in the little square in front of the vi]-
lage church, all earnestly discussing some ap-
parently important matter. Many of the
women were weeping, and there was a shade
of sadness on all the faces that attracted our
notice. At first we attributed it to the war
that was raging only a few leagues away.

We were not long in learning the truth,
however, for we had hardly descended from
the diligence before the terrible announce—
ment was made that eleven men had been lost.
on Mt. Blane.

WHY THERE \VAS WEEPING.

An intelligent English gentleman, who
had been at Chamouni some time and was
conversant with the facts, told us the sad
story. He said that on the previous Monday
morning—this was W'ednesday, Sept. 7—
three travelers, two of whom were Ameri-
cans, had started with three guides and five
porters for the top of the mountain. ‘ Their
names were John C. Randall, of Quincy,
Mass; Dr. James B. Beane, of Baltimore,
Md, and G. M. Corkendale, a Scotch clergy—
man.

The three guides were the best and most
reliable in the village, namely: John Balmat,
Joseph Bretton and August Cottet—all well
known and esteemed by the professional
mountain climbers of that time. The party
had reached the Grand Mulets and spent the
night of. Monday there, setting the usual
signal to inform the dwellers below of their
safe arrival. On Tuesday morning they
completed the ascent and reached the sum-
mit, spending the usual time there. On the
afternoon of that day they were seen slowly
descending the upper part of the mountain.
They looked like flies crawling over a. white
sheet. All at once, he said, there seemed to
be a veil thrown over them, and they van-
ished from his sight, never to be seen again.
At first not much anxiety was felt in the
valley. as slight snow storms are not uncom-
mon at that season. But when night came
on, and there were no signals set at the
Grand Mulets, or any lights to be seen about
the little but Where they should have spent
the second night, fears began to take shape
that some terrible catastrophe had taken
place.

As soon as the people had partially recov:.

ered from the shock occasioned by a realiza-
tion of what had occurred, the maire of the
village, who was also the chief guide. called
for volunteers to go in search of the missing
men. How forlorn a hope it was may be in-
ferred from the fact he would accept no
married man, neither any who were over
thirty years of age. It was about 5 o’clock
when these volunteers, thirty in number,
with packs of clothing and provisions on
their backs, coils of ropes and axes over their
shoulders. and alpenstocks in their hands,
gathered in front of the maire’s office to get
their final? instructions.

That night there came on, about 8 o’clock,
a tempest of wind and rain, accompanied by
thunder and lightning, such as I have rarely
listened to or witnessed, except in the Swiss
Alps. The next morning, looking from our
hotel Windows, we saw that snow had fallen
upon the mountain sides far down toward
the valley, and we instinctively felt that the
efforts of the brave volunteers must have
been fruitless, even if they themselves had
not fallen a. sacrifice to the fury of the ele-
ments.

But about 10 o’clock that forenoon they
were seen emerging from the woods, and
were soon greeting their friends, yet with
saddened faces. They reported that they had
reached a. considerable height when the
storm suddenly overtook them—a storm not
of wind and rain, as we had it, but a fierce
tempest of wintry sleet and snow. They had
spent the night under the best shelter they
could find—and small choice it was—and
early next morning had proceeded on their
upward journey. It was not far, however,
that they could go, for the show had fallen in
such quantities that not only were all land-
marks and paths obliterated, but it was im-
possible to make any progress without ino—
mentary danger of being hurled into some
abyss which could not be avoided, because
hidden under a treacherous covering of snow.
They knew, also, too well, that no human be—
ing could have survived such a night and
such a tempest at a point above that which
they had reached.

THE TERRIBLE SEQUEL.

And now, dear reader, you know why
there was weeping and wailing that afternoon
of Sept. 7, among the women and children,
aye, and men, too, of Chamouni. Eight of
their best and bravest citizens had been
wiped out of existence as suddenly as if the
earth had opened and swallowed them up.
Some of them left families and some aged
parents dependent upon them for support.

It was several weeks afterward that I
learned the sequel to this terrible affair. A
week or more elapsed before it was deemed
practicable to attempt another search for the
missing men, and then only with the bare ex-
pectation of finding and bringing down their
lifeless bodies. There was no other hope

Fifty of the most experienced mountaineers
of the village were detailed for this purpose;
and after a long and tedious search they came
upon the stiffened corpses of several of the
party, among which were those of Dr. Beans
and Mr. Corkcudale. They were in a. sitting
posture, as though they had sat down to rest,
and so had perished. In the cold hands of Dr.
Beans was found a note book bearing several
dates, the last of which was that terrible
night of Sept. 7. The record stated that they
had been two days in the midst of a terrible
snow storm; that they had had trouble with
their guides and the party had become separ—
ated. They were conscious that they were
lost, for the record closed as follows: “We
have dug a grotto in the snow at a height of
15,000 feet. I have no hope of desceeding,
my feet are frozen, and .I am exhausted. I
have only strength to write these words. I
die behaving in Jesus Christ, with the sweet
thought of my family, my friendships, and
all. I hope we shall meet in hpaven.” Dr.
Beans was a highly esteemed. young physician
of Baltimore, and had in his possesion letters
from prominent oflicials connected with the
Smithsonian institution. The object of his
visit to Chamouni and his fatal ascent of the
mountain was mainly for scientific investiga—
tion. Mr. Randall, who perished at the same
time, but whose body was notrecovered, I be-
lieve. until some days after, was a. well known
resident of Quincy, and I think was treas-
urer of a savings bank—Boston Transcript.

ANGLOMANIA IN EATING.
Some Plain Talk About the Finlcky Ways
of Overly Dainty People. ‘

The Anglo-Saxons are afraidto use their
fingers to eat with, especially the English.
Thanks to this hesitation, I have seen in the
course of my travels in the old world many
distressing sights. I have seen a lady --at-
tempt to eat crawfish (ecrevisse) with a. knife
and fork, and abandon the attempt in de—
spair. I have also seen men in the same fix.
I have seen—oh, barbarous and cruel spec-
taclcl—Anglo-Saxons, otherwise apparently
civilized, cut off the points of asparagus, and
eat these points only with a fork, thus leav-
ing the best part of the vegetable on their
plates. As for artichokes, they generally
utterly defeat the attacks of those who trust
only to the knife and fork.

Fingers must be used for eating certain
things, notably asparagus, artichokes, fruit,
olives, radishes, pastry, and even small fried
fish; in short, everything which will not dirty
or grease the fingers may be eaten with the
fingers. For my own part, I prefer to eat
lettuce salad with my fingers rather than
with a fork, and Queen Marie Antoinette and
other ladies of the Eighteenth century were
of my way of thinking. If the ladies could
only see how pretty is their gesture when
their diaphanous forefinger and thumb grasps
a leaf of delicate green lettuce, and raises
that leaf from the porcelain plate to their
rosy lips, they would all immediately take to
eating salad a la Marie Antoinette. Only
bear in mind, good ladies, that if you do wish
to eat lettuce salad with your fingers you must
mix your salad with oil and vinegar, and not
with that abominable ready made white
“salad dressing,” to look upon which is nau-
seating.

May heaven preserve us from excessive An-
glomania in matters of table service and eat-
ing. The English tend to complicate the cat-
ing tools far too much. They have too many
forks for comfort, and the forms of them are
too quaint for practical utility. Certainly
silver dessert knives and forks are very good
in their way, because they are not susceptible
to the action of fruit acids, but it is vain and
clumsy to attempt to make too exclusive use
of the knife and fork in eating fruit. Don‘t
imitate, for instance, certain ultra correct
English damsels who eat cherries with a fork
and swallow the stones because they are too
modest, or rather too asinine, to spit them

 

out on to the plate. Eating is not a thing to -

be ashamed of. To thoroughly enjoy a peach
you must bite it, and feel the juicy perfumed
flesh melt in your mouth. But let the Anglo-
maniacs say what they please, there is no ne-
cessity of sticking a. fork into the peach,- and
peeling it while so impaled, as if it were an
ill favored and foul object.

A peach is as beautiful to the touch as it is
to the eye; a peach held between human fin-
gers has its beauty enhanced by the beauty
of the fingers. However dainty and ornate
the silver dessert knife and fork may be, it
always irritates me to see people out up their
peaches, or pears, or apricots, or what not.
into cubes and parallelopipeds, as if dessert
were a branch of conic sections. Imitate
Marie Antoinette, ladies; use your fingers
more freely; eat decently, of course, but do
not be the slave of silly Anglomania or New-
port crazes. To eat a pear or an apple con-
veniently, cut it into quarters, and peel each
quarter in turn as you eat it. The peach,
too, can be cut into quarters, if the eater is
timid. Apricots do not need peeling, nor
plums either. Would you be bold efi'ough to
peel afresh. fig, or to touch such wdeli'cate
fruit even with the purest silver instruments?

Carlo' in 'l'éars.

“He had been owned by Rev. B. C. Phelps,
a Methodist preacher, stationed at Danielson—
ville, Conn,” responded the major, who does
dot hesitate,having told a story twenty times,
to tell it twenty-one times. “When Mr.
Phelps was removed to another charge he
made me a present of him. The dog took
kindly enough to me, as yellow dogs always
do to small boys. and we struck up a great
friendship and had glorious old times hunt-
ing woodchucks and rabbits. It was ‘hunt-
ing without a gun,’ but with Carlo’s help I
captured lots of game, such as it was. The
dog had not appeared to mind parting from
his former owner, and as time went by I took
it for granted that he had forgotten that he
ever owned any other master than myself.

“One day, it must have been a year after-
ward, we had been on a hard campaign
against the woodchucks, and I reached home
just at sundown. As I Went into the house
by one door Mr. Phelps entered by another;
he had been an intimate friend of my father’s
and now walked right in without any cere-
mony. After greetings by my father and
mother, and just as Phelps was seating him-
self, Carlo came running‘in without noticing
that he was there. ‘Why, Carlo,’ said Mr.
Phelps. The dog stopped, looked, and, with
a bound, was in his old master’s lap and lay
across his knees motionless, with his head
hanging down, while tears rolled down from
his eyes and dropped on the floor. Well, sir,
at seeing the dog weep Phelps himself choked,
and the tears came into his eyes. Father, he
followed suit, and I heard something that
sounded like a sob from mother.”——Forest

did ten years ago. The winter of 1888—89 hasleft
the nerves all jagged out. The nerves must be
strengthened, the blood purified, liver and
bowels regulated. Palne’s Celery Compound—
the Spring 1ne¢licine of to-day—does all this.
as nothing else can. Prescribed by Physicians,
Recommended by Druggists, Endorsed by Ministers,
Guaranteed by the Manufacturers to be

The Best
Spring Medicine.

“In the spring of $87 I was all run down. I
would get up in the' morning with so tired a
feeling, and was so weak that I could hardly get
around. I bought a bottle of Palne’s Celery Com-
pound, and before I had taken it a week I felt
very much better. I can cheefully recommend
it to all who need a building up and strengthen-
ing medicine.” Mrs. B. A. Dow, Burlington, Vt.

This is to certify that I have used for some months with much satisfaction, the combi.
nation of remedies, for Headache, known as Briggs’ Headache Troches._ The remedy cures
more headacbes, especially such as efiect Nervous Women than anything I am acquainted
with, and if this certificate will be the means of bringing It to the favorable attention of
sufferers from that trouble, I shall feel that I have done them a servxce.
