How Wife Supports a Husband and
Two Children. -

I
The house is on First street, South Bos-
ton. The husband is an Englishman an
invalid, large and burly, and walks with
crutches. The wife is over forty, with
hair very white and pleasant face. The
house is furnished meagerly but neatly.
A stove and few chairs compose the fur
niture. The following conversation en-
sues: "Good afternoon "Please take a
chair.n 1--WE had heavy rain this morn
ing" s Yes, the earth was parched. .
You need a fire on such a damp day.

The Dull Season In London.

A London correspondent says "The
dull season in London is nearly over and
the great city will shortly awaken from
its annual siesta. Dwellers in American
cities can form no idea Of the absolutely
forlorn and dismal appearance Of some
parts of London during the off season.
The business regions of the East which
center around the Bank of England do
not show so visible difference, but
among the fashionable localities of the
West End the change effected in a few
weeks is marvellous. The great club
houses which line one side of Pail Mall
are as silent and deserted as the ruins of
Pompeii. A glance within reveals bare
walls and uncarpeted rooms, while the
costly furniture, enshrouded in dingy
white drapery, is piled together in con-
fused heaps. The sentinels in the yard of
st. James Palace yawn involuntarily as
they pace up and down upon their posts,
and st. James street, beyond, soon again
to be filled with throngs of carriages On
drawing room" days and other occa-
sions, now echoes to the voice Of a club
waiter exchanging civilities with a cab
man on the other side of the way. West
ward through Piccadilly the human tide
has dwindled down to tiny stream of
people whose necessities compel them to
remain in town all the year round. The
parks are brown and dusty; grim King
Coal has won his yearly victory over
Dame Nature and his grimy hands have
sullied the purity of her face. Rotten
Row is empty, its gay cavalcade has van
ished and few grooms exercising the
horses of their masters now mOnopOliZe
the stately avenues of Hyde Park. The
mansions which fringe the parks are like
the few servants who inhabit them-out
of livery-while their owners are to be
found at every spa and watering place in
Europe seeking new supply of health
and energy for the coming winter.
Around the Parliament Houses at West
minister the stiffness is only broken by the
measured tramp of policeman, and the
owls might find refuge in the gray towers
of the adjacent abbey if quietness was the
only requisite. Through all white fronted
Belgravia the streets are as silent as the
grave and it is necessary to penetrate far
toward the western suburbs before the
dwellings show signs of inhabitants.'

A Diamond OF IIl-Omen.


A lady of great accomplishments, and
one who has had considerable experience
of life-none other than the wife of Capt
Burton, the renowned African trav-
eler-has just published book in which
she foretells much peril to England, and
especially to Queen Victoria, if that SOW
ereign persists in retaining in her posses
sion the celebrated Koh-i-noor diamond.
That stone has always had bad reputa-
ton. 1t is said though without sufficient
reason, to have been discovered in the
mines of Golconda, and that in conse-
quence of some terrible deed of cruelty
perpetrated on its finder his dying curse
still clings to it. Mrs Burton traces the
history of the gem through many possess
ors, all of whom suffered some terrible
disaster or came to violent death. The
first lost his kingdom, the second died in
exile, others were strangled Or assassi-
mated in different ways The fall of the
once great Empire of Aurungzebe she at
tributed to the Mountain of Light. When
Nadir Shah captured Delhi he took away
with him to Persia treasure and Jewels of
incalculable value, among them the Koh-
moor. From the moment he reached
Persia everything went wrong" The
Emperor was soon after aSsassinated and
his jewels stolen. lis next possessor was
poisoned; the two next had their eyes put
out, and so on, disaster ever following the
stone till it came into the possession Of
Runjeet Sing, the Lion of the Punjab. He
died soon after-then his son was poisoned,
and at brief intervals his grandson and
great grandson also were assassinated.
Anarchy followed then came the conquest
Of the Punjab, and so the diamond fell
into its present destination.
This is all matter of history, and has
been recounted by previous writers. But
Mrs Burton does not pretend to go only
over the old ground again. She declares
that she did not know the history of the
gem until she had had dream, wherein
it was made known to her. She then
looked into the question, though it must
be allowed that she is not quite accurate
in her account Of the fortunes of the former
proprietors. Many of them whom she
does not mention were prosperous and
powerful rulers; some died peaceable
deaths, and one, the monarch of the Sikhs,
SO far as regarding the diamond as i'll
omened, valued it as holy relic and be-
queathed it to Juggernaut.
But Mrs. Burton is a firm believer in
omens, and entreats the Queen to discard
the stone, which she sometimes wears.
She says that Lord Dalhousie, who sent it
to the Queen, died soon afterward; that
the Duke of Wellington, who gave the
first stroke to the new cutting, lived but
three months, and that Prince Albert next
fell victim to the ancient curse. Now,
it is not difficult to understand how
belief in the ill-omen of this diamond
should have prevailed in the East. Apart
from the facts connected with its history,
it's extreme value-since it is by far the
purest diamond now in existence-would
have induced some to malign it in order
to possess it. But it is not so easy to ac-
count for the credulity or superstition,
talent and practical knowledge of the
world as Mrs. Burton.-N. 7. Times.

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease of their patients.
The country seems to be filed with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression of spirits,
with evil forebodings, whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high cOlored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, distressed feeling at the pit of
the stomach, food affording no nourishment
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time a
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after
time with expectoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, a general wasting of
the body. In such cases we need remedy
that will act upon the liver, Kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the SHAKER

Prosecuted BY a Woman.

The San Francisco Bulletin says that a
young gentleman of estimable character
residing in that city and shining light
in an honorable profession unwittingly
incurred the displeasure of a young lady
acquaintance about three years ago He
was ignorant both of the time and manner
of the offense. The young lady, however,
soon made it manifest by commencing a
systematic espionage on all his mornings
and outgoings. She followed this up with
a series of letters addressed to an intimate
friend of his in which the history of his
private life from day to day was related in
detail His social and business relations
were, judging from this correspondence,
as familiar to her as they were to him.
All the letters were signed Cora Kent"
a name which she took no pains to con-
ceal as being fictitious This unpleasant
correspondence was KEEP UP with remark
able regularity for two and half years
never less than three and frequently four
letters beng received each week by the
involuntary mutual friend All the let
tiers were mailed in San Francisco but
each one bore three-cent stamp. Dur
ing this time the young man thus perse-
cuted was unable to identify his remorse-
less prosecutor, and 1t was by the merest
accident the discovery was fiually made,
but the object is still mystery. A letter
addressed to the young lady, mildly init
mating that if she continued her unwar-
ranted persecution any longer she would
find herself in the strong hands of the law,
stopped the correspondence.

up without proper, vigorous instruction

or man would indulge in it'' And then
