Funeral of Warren Adams.

The funeral Of the late Warren Adams,
CT Ludlow, was attended at that place Tues
day afternoon. The occasion drew together
large concourse of people, both from
Ludlow and adjoining towns, filling to Its
utmost capacity one of the largest churches
of the place. The Rev. John Gregory of
Mortified, being opportunity in the vicin-
ity, conducted the services, assisted by the
Rev. r. E. Rockwell of the Methodist
church. 1t is believed the discourse must
have given very general satisfaction. His
de,neation of the prominent characteristics
CT the deceased were just and discrimi-
mating. -"
MI. Adams acquaintance was wide and
extended, and it is probable he had done
business with more persons in this vicinity
than any other single individual. A COM
psnionable man and withal very tender and
pronounced in his sympathies, it could not
be otherwise than that he should have
strong andnppreciative friends, many of
whom improved the opportunity to be
present on the occasion of his funeral.
A man of indomitable will, he was hard
to force, but of extremely quick and tender
feelings, child even could lead him. He
will be greatly missed in all this region,
but by none more than by the poorer class
who, in almost unnumbered ways, have al
ways been the peculiar objects of his bene
factions. Still another class will greatly
miss his kindly greeting-the village chill
dren, who ever regarded him as their tru'
aud trusty friend and had he lived to thu
rounded age of four score years, it is mex
to certain he never would have regarded
himself as too old to associate with and t.
enjoy the society of groups of little chill

Saving is Wealth.

Under this caption some one has writ
ten the subjoined very sensible article, the
truth Of which many Of our readers can
verify from their own experience:
"Great cause Of the poverty Of the pres
ent day is the failure of our common poo
pie to appreciate small things. They do
not realize how a daily addition, be it ever
so small, will soon make a large pile. If
the young men and young women of to-
day win only begin, aud begin now, to
save little from their earnings aud plant
it in the soil of some good savings bank,

and vigor for future contingency. Let

In recent number Of Nature, Mr. G.
Bidie records the following fact with re-
gard to the common black scorpion Of
Southern India
One morning servant brought to me
very large specimen of this scorpion,
which, having stayed out too long in its
nocturnal rambles, had apparently got be-
wildered at daybroak, and been unable to
find its way home. To keep 1t safe, the
creature was at once put into glazed en-
Genealogical case. Having few leisure
minutes in the course Of the forenoon, |
thought | would see how my prisoner was
getting on, and to have better view Of
it the case was placed on a window, 10 the
rays OF hot sun. The light and heat
seemed to irritate i, very much, aud this
recalled to my mind story which had
read somewhere, that scorpion, on being
surrounded with fire, had committed sui
eide. 4 hesitated abont subjecting my
pet to such terrible ordeal, but taking a
common botanical lens, | focused the rays
of the sun on its back. The moment this
was done it began to run huTiedly about
the case, kissing and splitting in very
fierce way. This experiment was repeated
some four or Eve times with the like re-
suits, but on trying 1t once again, the scor-
pioD turned up its tail and plunged the
sting, quick as lightning, into It's back.
The infection Of the wound was followed by
a sudden escape Of fluid, and friend stand
ing by me called out; e See, il has stang
itself it is dead, and sure enough, in less
than half minute, life was quite extinct.

first, that animals may commit suicide
second, that the poison Of certain animals
may be destructive to themselves.

The Esanimaux Dog.

Il is now just twenty years since DR..
Kane and his Artic explorers returned
from that cold and dreary expedition, the
object Of which was to discover north
west passage. Many Of the bold adven-
lures died in that bleak and inhospitable
region others came back fearfully frosted
and others again with the seeds Of con-
sumption 80 firmly imbedded in their sys-
tens that early graves soon received their
mortal remains Among the latter was
the talented and adventurous Doctor hins
self, who headed the expedition, and whose
imposing monument may be now seen at
Laurel Hill, Philadelphia's beautiful City
Of the Dead.
The survivors Of this expedition brought
with them several Of the Esquimaux dogs,
an animal as useful and in fact almost as
indispensable in that cherries and barren
cline as is the horse with us. Several Of
these found their way to Baltimore, and
the species has been preserved intact to
this day. In fact they have greatly sin
creased and multiplied, and thus settled
question which had been long in dispute.
Previous to the testing Of this experiment,
it was a matter of grave debate whether
the Esquimaux dog could survive in so
mild climate as Baltimore.
The Esquimaux dog is invariably white
in color, with long hair but not shaggy,
under the medium size, (the ordinary cur
being the standard, and remarkably active

the clocks disk was gong swung upon
poles, aud near it was a pile of artificial
human limbs. The pile was made up of
the same number Of parts necessary to
constitute twelve perfect bodies; but all
lay heaped together in apparent confusion,
When the clock indicates the hour of one,
out from the pile crawled just the number
Of parts needed to form the frame Of one
man, part coming to part with quick
clink, and when completed the figure
sprang up, seized a mallet, and walking up
to the gong, struck one blow. This done,

ALI About Eggs.

A writer In the Medical journal, dis
coursing on dyspepsia says;-We have
seen dyspeptics who suffered untold tor
ments with almost every kind Of food. No
liquid could be taken without suffering.
Bread became burning acid. Meat and
milk were solid and liquid fires. We have
seen these same sufferers trying TO avoid
food and drink, and even going to the
enema spring for sustenance. And We
have seen the tormeats pass away and their
hunger relieved BY living upon the white
Of eggs, which have been boiled in hub
bling water for thirty minutes. At the
end Of week, we have given the half
yolk Of the egg with the white, and upon
this diet alone, without fluid Of any kind,
we have seen them begin % gain flesh and
strength, and refreshing slaep.

A CHARMING WOMAN.

A charming woman, I've heard 1t said
BY other women as light as shes
But all in vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.
Her face, indeed, is pretty enough,
And her form is quite as good as the best,
Whore nature has given the bony stuff,
And clever milliuer all the rest.
Intelligent, Yes--in certain way
With the feminine gift of ready speech;
And knows very well what not to say
Whenever the theme transcends her reach.
But turn the topic on things to wear,
From an opera cloak to a robe dc mutt
Hats, basques, orbonnets, twill make you stare
To see how fluent the lady can be.
Her laugh is hardly thing to please;
For an honest laugh must always start
From gleesome mood, like sudden breeze,
And hers is purely matter Of art
A muscular motion made to show
What nature designed to lie beneath
The finer mouth but what can she do,
If that is ruined to show the teeth2
To her seat in church-a good half mile
When the day is fine she is sure to go,
Arrayed, Of course, in the latest style
La mode dc Paris has got to show;
And she puts her hands on the velvet pew
(Can hands so white have faint Of sinY)
And ihinks-how her prayer. book'stint ofblue
Must harmonic with her milky skin
Ali what shall we say Of one who walks
In fields Of flowers to choose the weeds?
Reads authors Of whom she never talks,
Aud talks of authors she never reads?
She's charming woman, I've heard it said
BY other women as light as she
But all in vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.

not at all Improbable that genuine seal
skin jacket will before long be almost as
impossible an article of the ordinary femi-
nine toilette as a string of brilliants ITSELF
Some thirty years ago sealskin was com
mon enough Boxes were covered with
it, gloves and driving rugs were made of
it, costermongers and cabmen cut their
caps from 1t. Then came time when
some cunning furrier discovered how to
dye it rich dark brown, and to give it
that ezquisitely soft and downy texture
which is its chief charm. At once
ladies adopted the luxury.
twas soon found that of cloaks, jackets
mufis, dainty little hats, collars, cuffs, bags,
portmonnais, and thousand other artlclos
of feminine use, 1t was the most delight
full, the most beautiful, the most iudis :
pensable Of all possible materials. The
demand Tor " increased with rapidity,
almost marvellous, and the fashion, in :
stead Of wearing itselfout, has, If anything,
steadily increased. Indeed, the best Alas.
ka sealskins, like the fun of the sable, the
silver fox, aud the Russian sea otter, com
nand an altogether fancy price, and
handsome jacket Of close texture and uni
form color. with no white hairs to break
the continuity of its tint, will fetch as
many guineas as 6ye-and-twenty years ago
it would have fetched half crowns. Tie
result Is that the luckless seals have had
