THERE is one act of politeness which, in
some of the European countries, the poor
est peasant never forgets. 1t is the saluta-
ton of the dead. A funeral passing
through the streets of Pittsburg or London
is treated with no more consideration than
a street car, but in Italy every hat would
be raised in reverent salutation as the
corpse went by. There may, perhaps, be
very little sincerity in feeling which
prompts the salutation, but it is one of those
graceful little actions by which we express
sympathy for the bereaved, and acknow-
ledge, in the presence of death, that touch
of nature which makes US kin.

Select poetrp.
I'M WEARY.

Pm weary of life and its battles,
Tired of learning so oft
That our fairest and sweetest flowers
Perish first in the blast of the north;
That our hopes, like withered rose leaves,
Fall one by one quickly and sure;
And not even our loves and our friendships
In adyersty's winds will endure.
Pm tired, too, oflife's envies,
Its quarrels, its fraud, ard its strife;
And fain in the grave would be lying,
If death were the end of life.
The friends that loved and trusted
Have failed me one by one,
And my loved ones too have vanished,
Like the mists before the sun.
once had a darling cousin,
"With eyes that were dark and deep;"
But coldly the death shades were falling,
And she fell mid her shadows asleep.
once loved pretty howret,
That gay in garden smiled;
But the winters chill breath touched it,
And it faded and drooped and died.
Each thing that loved and cherished
Passed from me soonest of all
And now all that's nearest and dearest
dare not love at all
The robins sing in the morning,
And the lilies dance in the breeze
That, whispering, tosses the ivy,
And coquets with the laughing trees.
But into my heart steal no echoes J!
The music of lie has fled
The hopes of my childhood are ended
The hopes of my youth are dead
So am weary, weary and tired:
Feign would lie asleep,
Where the grass in the churchyard swaylng
With the willows forever weep.

WHAT Is MEANT BY HORSE POWER

WHAT Is MEANT By 11OhSE 1OWE
The power of prime movers is measured
by horse power. Watt found that the
strongest London draught horses were
capable of doing work equivalent to raising
$4,000 pounds one foot high per minute,
and he took this as the unit of power for
the steam engine. The horse is not usual
ly capable of doing so great quantity of
work. Rankine gave $4,000 foot pounds
as the figure for mean of several expert
ments, and it is probable that 25, ,0OOlfoot
pounds is fair minutes average work for
good animal. 1t would require five or
six men to do the work of a strong horse.
Watts estimate has become, by general
consent among engineers, the standard Of
power measurement for all purposes.-Sci-

BOGUS MOLAsSES.-Scientifc authori-
ties have of late directed attention to the
fact that large quantities of bogus and
adulterated syrups are being sold for genu-
inc molasses. These nostrums are said to
be largely composed of sawdust, paper,
rags, and starch, chemically treated with
poisonous acids. 1t is well known to
chemists that sulphurIc acid has a magical
effect upon woody fibre, such as found in
fax and cotton. Therefore linen and cot
ton rags furnish the most productive source
of the principal ingredient of the manufac-
tured syrup. Rags suitable for the pur-
pose can be bought from four to six cents
per pound, and muriatic acid is cheap
chemical SO the manufacturing of these
articles into marketable syrup cannot fail
to be very profitable enterprise. The de-
lectable compound is made in two large
establishments in New York, and also to
a great extent liz Chicago, Boston and New
Orleans.
To detect the bogus syrup it is only
necessary to use tannin as test and as
there is considerable tannin in ordinary
table tea, make strong cup of green or
black tea, and pour into it teaspoonful OF
the suspected molasses. The muriatic acid,
if there be any in the molasses, will ut once
unite with the tannin and turn the tea into
a black, dirty-looking liquid that no one
would like to drink even if it were whole
some. 1t will of course be rejected when
it is known to be poisonous, as it must
needs be when muriatic or sulphuric acid
are used in its manufacture.
The public is also swindled in an article
of artificial honey, made of cotton and
linen rags, chemically treated with sui
phuric acid and thickened with corn starch.
1t is also said that sugar made by boiling
down the bogus sugar syrup is extensively
used in the manufacture of confectionery,
and the little children are poisoned with
the oil of vitriol at q time when their deli
cate systems can i'll sustain It's deleterious
effects.

A FiekIe Woman.

| AN ODD EPISODE IN WEsLEY's LIFE
In 1749 occurred an odd episode in Wes-
ley's life. On one of his missionary jour-
neys be had been taken sick at Newcastle,
! where he was nnrsed by Grace Murray,
one of his female helpers. a handsome,
clever widow of four-and-thirty, Wesley
himself being twelve years older. He asked
her to marry him. She seemed amazed,
and replied, ''This is too great a blessing.
l can't tell how to believe it. This is all
1 could have wished under heayen.n Wes-
ley quite naturally took this as formal
betrothal. But Grace had not long before
nursed John Bennett, a Methodist preacher
of about her own age, and Wesley was soon
astoundeG by joint letter from Grace and
John, asking his consent to their marriage.
Then ensued comedy lasting for months,
the like of which no playwright has ven-
tured to put upon the stage. Grace would
have been quite content with either Of her
lovers were it not for the other. But con-
trary to all example, it was the absent one
whom she wanted. When Wesley was
with her she longed for Bennett; when
Bennett was present she longed for Wes-
ley. How many times she broke and re-
newed her engagement with each it would
be hard to tell. 81 love you," she said to
Wesley, "a thousand times better than 1
ever loved John Bennett; but / am afraid
ifI don't marry him he'll run mad" That
very evening she promised herself to Ben
melt. A week after she told Wesley she
was determined to live and die with him
She, indeed, wanted to be married at once,
but Wesley wished for some delay. Grace
said she would not wait more than a year.
A fortnight later she met Bennett, fell at
his feet, and acknowledged that she had
used him i'll. They were married q week
after. This strange marriage seems to
have turned out happy one. Bennett
died in the triumphs of faith ten years later.
Grace survived until 1903, dying at the age
ofeighty-seven. For years she was bright
light in the Methodist society. Wesley
saw her three days after her marriage, and
but once more on earth. Thirty-nine
years after, she came to London on a visit
to her son, and expressed wish to see
Wesley. He was eighty-fve years old, she
past seventy. What could they now have
10 say, except "Hail and farewell p''-Dr.

MILK FOR DIARRHEA.-The Milk Jor-
nal states on the authority OF DR.. BENJAMIN
Clarke that in the East Indies milk is used
to great extent as specific for diarrhea.
A pint every four hours will check the most

cholera and dysentery. The milk should
never be boiled, but only heated sufficiently
70 be agreeably warm, not too hot to drink

Genuine sardines are scarcely to be had
here now. Among the fish put up in tin

as good as the genuine sardines.

THE ROTHsCHILDs.-Ac cable dispatch
from London announces the death of Ba-
ron Mayor Anseim de Rothschild, men,
Der of the famous banking firm of that
name The deceased bore the name Of the
founder of the house, who was born at
Frankfort on-the-M Main in 1744, and died
there in September, 1872. The history Of
the great house, which is now carried on
in five Of the leading European cities by
members of the family of the third and
fourth generation, is almost romantic in its
interest. The original Mayer was educat-
ed for a rabbi, became a small tradesman,
and eventually got situation in Hano-
verian banking house. Subsequently he
established a banking house in Frankfort,
and had the good fortune to become the
banker of the rich landgrave of Hesse. He
borrowed money for the government from
the landgrave, to be paid as a ransom to
save the city of Frankfort from being sack
ed by the French, and subsequently, when
Napoleon decreed the forfeiture of the es-
tates of the sovereigns of Hesse Cassel and
Brunswick, the elector secreted with Roth
schild S5,000,000 in silver, which the
banker and his five sous, whom he had as
sociated with him in business, had the use
of for eight years. When Napoleon was
banished to Elba the elector gave notice
that be would withdraw it ; but when Ma
poleon escaped and returned to France he
urged the Rothschilds to keep it at two per
cent. interest, which they did until 1873,
when they returned it to his son and sue
cessor. After the death of their father the
five sons carried on the business under five
branches. Nathan Rothschild, the first
head Of the London house, is said to have
known the result of the battle of Waterloo
eight hours before the government, and
made 81, ,OOe,0O0 by the skillful use of that
knowledge. Three Of the sons died in 1855,
and one in 1886, their sons taking their
places. Baron Nathan Lionel de Roths-
child, of London, son of Nathan, became
the head of the London house on the death
of his father. In 1S47 he was elected to
the House of Commons, but refused to
take the oath prescribed 'on the true faith
of Christian He was regularly re-elect-
ed, but did not take his seat until 1853,
when his disabilities were removed. He
was the first adherent of the Jewish reli-
oion who ever took his seat in the House
of Commons. AS appears from the dis
patches, he has now been defeated in the
London elections. The house has loaned
hundreds of millions to all the leading and
most of the lesser governments of Europe.
The members of the family have generally
intermarried, and their immense wealth
will consequently remain in their family
for many years.
