The Cnncert.

FuII of sweet sound and deep delight;
And vet the house was poor;
Poor. if YOU count by crowded seats
Put Judging only by glad heart-heats,
Twas 4 splendid house, Tn sure.
First F.s,ev sang as well as she could
Some sweet little notes that understood
And wee Kate's chirp of laugh broke out
As Wiley ran in with merry shout
The pussy purred on the rug in state;
And the good clock licked, % It's late it's late ~
While over the fire the kettle sang
It's CHEEKY song with the least little twang
That was Part First, you must know, my dear,
When only we five We're there to hear.
The IRE cracked applause; s .
Ihe baby's soft little pat-a-cake -
Made reckless encores for the music's sake,
And pussy 1ourishedhe paws.
Well, the Second Part ? All, that was fine
Fine to the hearts core, lover mine!
For over the kettles winsome plant, 3
And the baby's breathing, sweet and faint,
And over the prattle of VIII and Kate,
And the clocks impatient q Late! it's late J"
I heard the blessedest sound of all
A click of the latch, step in the halll
And % Home, sweet Hone,'' pulsed all the air
As you came, calling, up the stair.

Mortality in Three Great Cities.

A New York journal draws a compar
ison between the lists of mortality OF
three leading cities of the world for a
single week in the month of May The
cities are Paris, London and New
York. Summarized they are as fol
lows: London. counts 1,168 deaths,
with a population of 1881, 500; Paris
Sl2 deaths, with population of l, 835,
500; New York 646 deaths, with pop
ulatiop Of $40, 800. Thus, during one
week in May, 80 people died in Lon
don, ~ in. Paris, and 68 people i'll New
York out Of every 100000 of popuIa-
ton. This is certainly very bad
showing for our American metropolis,
for which there must exist some natur-
al cause. or causes. 1t might be as
well to add that the variations in tenn
perature IN New York, during the week,
were from q maximum of 70 degrees to
n minimum Of 81 degrees,

An Enactment Against Narcotics.

Opium-eating must have assumed
alarming proportions in Kentucky.
The Legislature of that state, in order
to check the practice, has just passed a
bill providing that, Oh the affidavit of
two respectable citizens, any person
who, through the excessive use of
opium, arsenic, hasheesh, or any 9TH
er drug, has become incompetent to
manage himself or his estate, may be
confined in any asylum and placed I'M
der guardianship, as in the. case of
habitual drunkards or lunatics. The
act says nothing about snuff-dipping,
tobacco-chewing or smoking. And
while on the subject of narcotics. it
may be well to- add that the
medical Journals of the coun-
try complain of the alarming
increase in the consumption of hydrate
of choral. Indeed, one periodical
| Good Health-alleges it is being used
in the most reckless manner. It is
said that even IN Europe it is suppressed
ing absinthe, opium and alcoholic
stimulants, while its manufacture has
increased enormously. Liebig says
that single establishment in Germay
produces half ton per week, while,
according to the London Spectator,
taking choral is the new and popular
vice, particularly among women, and is
doing atleast as much harm as alcohol.
The drug is said to be kept in thou
sands OF. English dressing cases, and
those who begin to use it often grow 50
addicted to it that they pass their lives
in a sort of contented stupefaction.-

Swimming Milk for cheese.

On the contrary, cur cheese, by analysis
shows richer in butter than theirs. When
the American cheese reaches the other side
of the water if poor in manufacture, ever
50 porous and spongy, or ever so poor in
flavor, it is not poor IN butter, bnt is richer
in that quality than the goods we are striV-

be saved, and the quality secured by new
