Tses Of MarrnM.

The French Academy of Sciences
has received an interesting cOmmuni-
cation from DR.. Neumann, on the
physiological action of marrow in the
animal economy. In his opinion this
substance contained in bones, PLAYS an
important part in the production Oi
blood and red cellules are constantly
being formed in it. He remarks that
when the element Of the red marrow
of bone are examined in the human
frame and in that of the rabbit, one
always finds red blood cells, each
containing a nucleous, clearly dfstin-
guishable, by their yellOwish hue and
by a more homogeneous consistency,
from the other numerous cells resem-
bling corpuscles of lymph, which he
considers TO be partly colOrless blood
cells and partly others of the medui-
larry issue. Some of the former have
simple nucleOus, the outline OF
which is well determined others
contain one divided in several parts
not so clearly defined; and in some
the nucleous seems to have disap-
peared altogether. The latter consti-
tute transition between the embTy-
Onary and the blood cells. In order
to ascertain whether this transition
from the lymphatic to the red cells is
effected in the vessels or otherwise,
the author of the paper has endeavor-
ed to seperate these vessels from their
ordinary coutents, and has found that
the transition forms described, Origi-
nate in the capillary vessels of the de-
dulleEy tissue, which form close net
work. The latter according to his OBJ
servatiOns, are rich in eOlorless ele-
-ments, a fact strikingly illustrated in
the marrow of frogs. To conclude
therefore, the author thinks that the
cells of marrow resembling those of
the lymph, are an element from
which new red blood cells are being
constantly formed, in order TO replace
the elements of the blood which are
being constantly destroyed, either by
physiological or by pathological ac-
ton.

ATrue and Touching Incident.

A young man and his wife were pre-
pairing to attend Christmas party at
the house of friend, some miles dis
tant. Henry, my dear husband, don't
drink too much at the party to-day /;
you will promise me, won't yOu?"
said she, putting her hand upon his
brow, and raising her eyes to his face
with a pleading smile. mo, Mile, /
will not; you may trust me,n and she
wrapped her infant in a soft blanket,
and they descended. The horses were
soon praneing over the turf, and a
pleasant conversation beguiled the
way. ''Now don't you forget your
promise" whispered the young wife,
rs they passed up the steps. Poor
thing! She was the wife of man
who loved to look upon the wine
when red. The party passed pleas
antly; the time for departure drew
near; the wife descended from the
upper chamber to join her husband.
A pang shot through her beating heart
as She met him, he was intoxicated /;
he had broken mis- promise. Silently
they rode hOmeward, save when the
drunken man broke into snatcbes of
4 song or unmeaning laughter. But
the wife rode on, her babe pressed
closely to her grieyed heart. "Giye
me the baby, Mile! 1 can't trust
YOU with him. he said as they ap-
preached a dark and swollen stream.
After some hesitation, she resigned
her first-born-her darling babe,
closely wrapped in a great blanket
to his arms. Over the dark waters
the noble steeds bore them; and when
they reached the bank the mother
asked for her child. With much care
and tenderness he placedsthe bundle
in her arms; but when she clasped it
to her bosom, no babe tOds there! 1t
had slipped from the blanket, and the
drunken father knew it not. A wild
shrek from the mother aroused him,
and he turned round just in time to
see the little rosy face rise one mo-
ment above the dark waters, then
sink forever, and that by his own in
temperance. The anguish of the
mother is better imagined than de-
seribed.- Washington EUening Visi-

nnn Piatt,on Snfrnee

In his Xenia Fourth of July Grafton
Dom Piatt gives his version of sutf-
rage in this country as follows:
II believe we have too much suff-
rage. do not refer to its extension
so much as to its use. | am willing
to have the negroes vote, and believe
we would be better if women were
included. But we have too much of
itgoing on. There is scarcely month
in the year that we are not called up
on to elect somebody to something
The result is that we neglect our duty
by transferring the glorious privilege TO
people who are willing to make it
their business. 1t seems to me that
it would be better to limit some of
this. 1t is a terrible business to talk
about giving up this great right. But
would it not be as well to have some
respectable body apoint constable,
for example, as to throw open the
polls to the vote of a few cOrner-grO-
cery politicians to make the selection?
at must strike every one that it
would be to the interest of the COM
munity to have the Judiciary as far
removed from undue influences as
pOssible-especially to get it out of
the political arena. In our larger
cities the scOundrels elect the judges,
and the judges in turn protect the
seoundrels. Would it not be as well,
and Just as republican, for the Gov
ernOr, aided by. the Senate to appoint
the Supreme Judges, and the Supreme
Judges TO appoint the Common Pleas,
and these last to select our magis-
trates? If good salaries were added
to long terms we might hope for some
thing efficient and honest We
might compromise on the constable.
He could still be elected, and so retain
a republican feature to the system
Again, in our cities, that have come
te be utter sinks of pollution, often
sive to the nOstrils of all humanity,
we have the evil effects of universal
suffrage; and it is strange that after a
war of the most expensive and
bloody character, we accord to q cor
pOration what we denied to the state.
When the Judiciary and its police
together with the boards of sanitary
officials, are restored, as they should
be, to the state, where they belong,
there is nothing left to the corpora
ton but questions of property, in
which property holders alone are
interested. Then the stockholders
only should vote; and a man might
as well claim control in a railroad
company because he rode in the ears,
or ask to sit at the board of bank
because he slept on the steps, as for
nOn-prOperty holder in a town to de-
mand a control of its affairs"

A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND.-There is
a charming tradition connected with
the site on which the temple OF Solo
mon was erected. 1t is said to have
been occupied in common by two
brothers, one os whom had family;
the other had none. On this spot was
sown field of wheat. On the even
ing succeeding the harvest, the wheat
having been gathered into separate
shocks, the elder brother said to his
wife, 'My younger brother is unable
to bear the burden and heat of the
day 1 will arise, take of my shocks,
and place with his without his knOwl-
edge" The younger brother being
aetuated by the same benevolent mo-
tives, said within himself, my elder
brother has a family, and have none;
place with his without his knowl-
edge" Judge their mutual astonish-
ment, when, on the following morn
ing, they found their respective shocks
undiminished. This course of events
transpired for several nights when
each resolved in his mind to stand
guard and solve the mystery. They
did so when, on the following night,
they met each other half way between
their respective fields with their arms
full Upon the ground hallowed by
such associations as this, was the tenn
pie of Solomon ereeted-so spacious and
magnificent, the wonder and admira-
ton of the world. Alas, in these days,
how many would sooner steal their
brothers whole shock than add to it a
single sheaf!

DELAWARE PEACHES.-The peach
fever in Milford and vicinity is Begin
ming to rage pretty extensively. Sew
eral persons from New York and
Philadelphia have visited Milford and
vicinity, and have purchased a con-
siderable amount of fruit. Some have
purchased orchards Jumped, and 9TH
ers have given so much a basket the
orchard through, delivered at the de-
pot. A. T. A. Torbett sold his large
orchard last week to parties in New
York, on private terms. He sold the
orchard Jumped, but agreed to pick
the fruit and deliver it at the depot
We heard the sale was between six
and ten thousand dollars. 1t is sup
posed that this orchard will have
twenty or twenty-five thousand bas-
kets at least. We know of some par
ties that have sold their peaches at
forty cents basket, delivered at the
depot, and some at little higher fig
ure. Fears are entertained by some
in this vicinity that the dry weather
We are having now will affect the
growth of the peaches and will prob
ably cause a great majority to drop
of. The extreme dry spell that we
have had for the last six weeks, and
are still continuing to have, has been
destructive among the vegetables and
the forward potatoes. Dell

THE CHRONICLE.
PRINCESS AND PAGE,
BY LUCY II. HOOPER.

Spring in France is sunny and fair,
Springs sweet odors enchant the air.
Into the Louvre's easement wide
Pourest the Sunshine'S golden tide.
Princess Marguerite standeth there,
Jeweled daisies amid her hair.
She glances down and whispers low.
who is the page that waits below?'
''You handsome youth with joyous air,
With broad white brow and shining hair
The page looks up-his eager glance
Rests ON the fairest face in France.
Glance answers glance with meaning sweet
Fair page-fair Princess Marguerite.

The summers scented zephyrs glide
Into the Louvre's easement wide.
Summers sunshine in golden sheen
Glimmers around Queen Catharine.

as he that waiteth now below:"
THE velvet cap that crowns his curls
Is clasped with daisy wrought of pearls.
Last night he sang an old song sweet,
'Si dOuce, 81 douce, est In Marguerite
81 hear and heed; so have care,
My handsome page-my daughter fair!
III.
The autumn winds chant wild refrain
Above the dark and sullen Seine.
A pallid moon with spectral light
Changes to ghostly day the night.
Over the rivers bosom spread,
Widens a stain of fearful red.
Out of the depths there rises now
A pale dead face with clOven brow.
And tangled mid the blood-stained cuTls
There CLEANS a daisy wrought of pearls.

Lima Beans.

All will agree that that there is no
bean grown at all to compare with the
Lima, especially when eaten green,
even as a winter bean. Used in the
winter it is different from all others
/ from the fact that it is nearly equal in
quality to what it is in its green state.
But all may not know that it is the
most difficult of beans to raise. Its
principle enemy is wet spring. 1t
is not of SO large a size and intirm
that when planted, if the weather is
moist, il becomes soaked through and
rots, sometimes even after it has
sprouted 1t not unfrequently hap
pens that two and even three plant
ings are necessary, and the crop fails
afterwards. Sometimes a hot, dry
August renders the vines barren,
sometimes heavy rains just at the pc
riod of inflOresence will "dO" for
them.
The best mode to raise Lima beans
successfully is to select dry spot for
the poles firmly, elevate the hills, and
set the seed dperpendicularly justunder
the surface, first greasing the seed with
lard or butter If the soil is rich and
not too wet, the chances are that a
good crop will be the result.
But to insure a good crop as nearly
as it can be done, plant the beans in a
shallow box filled with the best soil
about one inch each way, say about
the middle or 10th, April, place the
box in ahot-bed, or lin q sunny window
of a constantly heated room Ofa house,
and start the plants there When the
period arrives for transplanting-that
is when the time of probable frost is
Over-set them carefully out by the
poles. taking as much earth with them
sufficiently moist to adhere, as posi-
BILE, make hole with a round stick OF
suitable size, and draw up the earth
and press genly. Should frost
threaten, cover with old papers, straw
or hay, the former being the best, asst
is easier to manage, makes less dirt and
can be saved for future occasions. a
few clods will keep the paper covering
in its place.
But this should be what might be
called the early or first crop of Limas.
The second crop should be planted in
the usual way, and from the two il
would rarely happen that enough fol
Summer and Winter use-in case the
plot or ground is large enOugh-would
not be secured.-GerDldR Iele-

Vincent Collyer, Secretary to the
United States Commission, organized
at the Cooper Institute, a year ago,
says he has visited and closely in
speeted thirty-one tribes, in their wig
vans and native homes, numbering
nearly Sc, 600 souls, located in Kansas,
the Indian Territory, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona, and California
Some of the tribes are the most war
like and troublesome in the country,
others more civilized. Among all of
them he was received, and in many
case with marked hospitality.
In nearly all the tribes visited school
teachers and farming tools were found
and in all his journey he did not see q
case of drunkenness, witness a scene
of violence, or hear a blasphemOus
word by an Indian. He believes that
by patient efforts all the tribes can be
civilized, and that in less than two
years we will have heard the last of
Indian Outrages. A deep religious
feeling pervaded nearly all their con-
versations and councils.

They are a lovely sight,
And quite a little shock I'll have

The reapers are so kind, you know,
And drop them as they go;
Indeed, they often pity me
Because L pick so slow.
Yes, sir, my feet get very tired,
And my hands are very sore,
But don't mind, for mothers sick,
And 1 must work the more.
This is the strangest world, sir,
That have ever seen;
So few have all the reaping,
So many have TO CLEAN;
So few have all the wealth and ease,
So many have the toll,
But then it must be right, l think,
Else who would till the soil.
And surely God is good to all,
For things are better than they seemi
He gives the farmes grain to sow,
And gives me heads TO CLEAN;
Oh, sir, we ought to love Him well,
Who is so good and right,
And mother says, in His own heaven,
He'll serve us all alike.
Well said, my pretty little maid,
And happy shall we be,
If, when the stUbble fields of life
Are CLEANED by you and me,
The richer fields of heavenly life
Shall by us both be seen,
And God shall say, ''my children come,
Forever reap and glean."

DON'T BE A LoBsTER.-A lobster,
whom left high and dry among the
rocks, has not sense and energy enough
to work his way back TO the sea, but
waits for the sea to come to him. If
it does not come, he remains where he
is, and dies, although the slightest
exercise would enable him to reach
the waves which are perhaps tossing
and tumbling within yard of him.
There is q tide in human affairs that
cast meninto tight places" and leaves
them there, like strained Holsters. If
they choose to lie where breakers have
flung them expecting some grand bill
low to take them on its shoulder and
carry them to smooth water, the
chances are that their hopes will nev-
er be realized. Nor is it right they
should be. The social element ought
not to help him who makes no effort
to help himself.

The Black Death.


The first appearance in Europe of
this unparalleled disease was at Con-
stantinople in 1347, whittier it was
brought from the northern coast of
the Black Sea. 1t spread thence to
Cyprus, Sicily, Marselles and some of
the seapOTts of Italy: the remaining
island of the Mediterranean, particu-
larly Sardinia, Corsica Majorca, were
visited in succession. In January :,
1913, it appeared in Avignon and in
other cities in the south of France :;
also in the north of Italy, and in
Spain. In the same year it visited
Germany and England, but it did not
break out in this country until August,
and it then advanced SO slowly that a
period of three months elapsed before
it reached London. The north of Eu-
rope was attacked in I349, but the pes
thence did not reach Russia till 1851.
Such was the course of this plague
1t was highly contagious, and, as
Hecker says, ''the pestilential breath
of the sick who spat blood, caused
terrible contagion far and near, for
even the vicinity of those who had
fallen i'll of plague was certain death,
so that parents abandoned theirinfect-
ed children, and all the ties of kindred
were dissolved" The same writer,
who is, however, greatly inclined to-
ward "astral and telluric influences,
and an organic life in the system of
the universe" also states that the
plague was preceded by great atmo-
spheric disturbances, deluges of rain
and earthquakes. The symptoms of
this frigtful disease were principally
bOils and swellings of the glands,
''such as break out in no other febrile
disease" and black patches all over
theskin, whence itwas called the black
death. The disease was also often Oc-
cOmpanied by splitting or vomiting of
blood, and those who were thus atfiict-
ed sometimes died Immediately, but
never lived more than two days.
Toward the end of the plague, many
lives were saved by opening the bOils.
The mortality caused by this pestil-
ence in this country, ahd its effects,
have now to be adverted to. The pop
ulatiOn of England and Wales at the
beginning of the fourteenth century
may probably have been about three
or four millions, and of these there is
but little doubt that more than one
half died of the pestlience. Parlia-
ment was from time to time prorOgued,
and proclamation issued, bearing wit
ness to its direful and increasing prev.
alence. Ou the 1st of January, 1919,
Parliament was pTorogued on account
of the plague having broken out in
Westminster: on the 10th of March
its meeting was again postponed, be-
cause fthe greatincrease Ofthe plague;
on the lst of December it was found
necessary to go out of the country to
escape the pestilenee. Whereas no
small part ofOur people of England is
dead Of the pestilence" was the pream-
be of the proclamation. On the 18th
of June, 1850, animportant regulation
relative to the wages was made, "be-
cause a great part of our people is
dead ofthe plague. ."-LeRgmdn'S Life
