lelp rejecting that if fall we fall like Luci-
fer, out of the heavens, and that upon our ar
iva, upon earth, or, rather upon water-for VIZ
are over the middle of Lake Michigan-we
would be literally dead"
AS will be seen, it ends abruptly, the
end being reached, probably, when the
storm threatened, and when he was COM
PEELED to abandon writing In order to
light for life.
The question now arises, what of
Donaldson and the balloons 1t has been
stated to be the belief of the people, of
Michigan that Donaldson threw Grim
wood out of the balloon, and was him
self carried further on, and may yet be
living. IF there is such a belief among
the people residing in Michigan, which
may reasonably be doubted, it is not
shared by the people of Chicago, nor will
it be by any one who knows Donaldson.
None but 6end or monster would be
capable of such an act, and Donaldson
was neither. He is doubtless dead, and
will never be able to dispute the SANDER
uniusti6able. It is becoming not only
that his friends, who know that such
thing were impossible, should repel this
attempt to malign-without shadow of
reason-the memory of brave man, but
that every one should resent and repel
it in the name of common humanity.
All such insinuations are only baser ex-
hibitions of the same spirit that could
fabric reports to the effect that Donald
son and Grimwood were alive, and keep
ing out of sight for few weeks to create
sensation, as has. been repeatedly done.
All these things are not merely idle and
stupid /; they are positively wicked.

lake, returning to the city before dark.
The vessel is arranged with every con-
yenience of necessity and comfort for the
afflicted little ones, and an experienced
physician accompanies the craft, though
the pure air is all the medicine depended
upon to effect the cure of the ailing chill
dren. This simple treatment is found to
be wonderfully eficacious in the too
often fatal irregularities of the bowels
known as 'ssummer complaint" and
large numbers of innocents have been
rescued from an early grave by this
means alone, without the assistance OF
drugs of any description.
The bark Kate Crosby, Of Yarmouth,
N. S., which arrived at New York, few
days since, SO days from London, passed
through an immense feet Of icebergs on
her voyage hither. Her captain has fol
lowed the sea all his life, and states that
never before in all his experience has he
seen such large foes of ice. At one time
70 icebergs were counted from the deck
of the bark, and the thermometer fell to
nearly the freezing point. The third day
of this frigid company, after passing
very close to large iceberg, it turned
over and burst with a great noise, like
the rlmbling of an earthquake. During
tine three days the bark was ice-bound,
she passed four steamers. 1t is matter
of wonder that catastrophes from this
cause are not of more frequent occur
renee. The steamship Indiana, of the
American. line, reports encountering be-
countering between Is and 20 icebergs
within two hours. She was obliged to
steam directly between the bergs in sew
eral instances. The thermometer was
influenced ten degrees. The ice foes
extend farther to the south this season
than ever known In previous years.

The Accident to Edwin Booth.

Monday morning, Mr.. Booth, who
had as his guest DR.. Kellogg, Superin-
tendendent of the State Insane Asylum
at Poughkeepsie, started for Stamford,
with the double purpose of exercising
his horses and enabling his guest to adj
mire the picturesque scenery of four
mile drive. He had selected for the
work his favorite mare Nellie and her
colt, and, taking the lines, he turned
their heads In the direction of Stamford.
They travelled at good pace, and ex
hibited no signs of restlessness. AS
they began to descend Richmond Hill,
within a mile of Stamford village, the
headstall of the colt broke, and Mr..
Booth became unable to gaide or check
the team. The colt naturally became
frightened, and started down the hill at
break-neck rate of speed, carrying
along her more sedate mate. Mr.. Booth
was quickly thrown against telegraph
pole with great force, and rendered tenn
porarily irsensible. DR.. Kellogg man
aged to retain his seat for some time and
endeavor to check the speed of Nellie
and her colt, but was unsuccessful. He,
too, was thrown out, and received severe
cuts on the head, front and back. His,
injuries, however, were but slight, and
when the villagers came out and assisted
in the removal of the two wounded gen
tlemen to Mr.. Booths residence, the
Doctor was so far convalescent that he
declined assistance and asked them to
aid the great actor.
Mr.. Booth was carefully lifted, while
still in an insensible condition, from the
rosdside and carried to his home at Cos
Cob. He spoke for the first time upon
his arrival home, when he asked for his
wife and daughter, and at once recog-
nized them. Mr.. Booths injuries are
slight, consisting of fracture of the
left arm, below the elbow, and of two
ribs-New York Herald.

A Mothers Love.

A touching story of the late inundation
in France comes through letter to the
New York Tribune:
A young mother is awakened by the
inundation. She has two children, twins
at the breast, adorable little girls The
water invades her house it is night, and
the hour is full of terror. The hus-
band takes care of himself and
mounts on the roof. But the woman
thinks only of her children; she ties
them to her breast with scarf, and, as
she is about to swim from the house she
thinks that the bread-trough will serve
as a boat. The house is tottering as the
mother embarks In her frail boat. She
is scarcely out of the house when it goes
to pieces. The husband disappears In
the ruins The little boat floats away,
but strikes against a tree and is over
turned. The poor woman seizes a branch
and climbs into the tree with the strength
Of a ioness fighting for her young. But
the tree is young it bends; it will not
hold all three. The mother sees that the
end has come, but her motherhood is not
conquered. She ties her children to the
strongest branch, she kisses them again
and again, she signs them with the sign
Of the cross, and cries, "To the mercy
of Godl" This piteous drama was wit
messed by spectators who could do moth
ing in aid until quarter of an hour was
gone. The mother was drowned, but
the children were saved like Moses.
They were adopted by the Sisters of
Charity of Castelsarrazin. The mothers
funeral was an occasion of mourning in
the midst of the general sorrow. Her
face seemed sanctifed by her action.
One of my friends said to me, 6 j never
saw such beauty" Her eyes were half
closed, her lips were slightly open, her
hands crossed above her breast as if she
were still praying for her children
There is no spectacle more divine than
that of maternity In sacrifice.

Advertising Pays.

A Washington dispatch says The
bids for furnishing Internal Revenue
stamps were opened to-day. The results
were very anomalous. Several firms
offered to do the engraving for nothing.
The firm which now has the contract
offers to pay the government $2,100
monthly for the privilege of furnishing
them free to the government. This is q
curious illustration of the advantages of
advertising. The firm which is now doing
the work is satisfied that the advertise
ment is worth 100 monthly, beside
the cost of the material. The law per-
mits the engravers to affix their imprint
to every stamp. The law requires the
Commissioner to award the contract to
the lowest bidder. He is in doubt
whether the firm, which wants to pay
for doing the work is, under the law, the
lowest bidder.

positive voice behind them. "I'l let
you know that's mig baby, an dear one

caught the child up in her arms.
Then she began to see that there were
only three rather frightened children,
who meant no harm and she grew very
pleasant and half apologized.
.You see, I put on the kettle to boil
for tea, and said I to myself, I'll go
out and pick dish of berries for sass. >
So brought Wrinkle, and left her
here a-sleeping. Do you see what nice
dish of berries I have?"
Nay, furthermore, the little woman,
out of the goodness of her heart, said :
Now you shall all come down to my
little red house, and take tea with me
and my man. An you can carry Pinkie-
winkie and don't look so sorry, little
girl. You can see the ducks and pigeons
and posies, and have cream on your ber-
ries. Come onI'' and away she went,
with the train of children behind her.
After they had got safely away, such a
chattering and connection as there was
in the woods
Brown-bird, swinging upon twig,
said:
"Squirrel, l consider you both polite
and kind I wish there were more like
you in the world!"
eDon't mention i'll" said Squirrel,
quite embarrassed, and he ran away.
Little Brown-bird flew futtering to
her nest, and bugs and bees and idle
birds set to gossiping. The little flow
ers nodded their dainty heads, and all
the forest leaves we're SO amused they
shook their sides with LAUGHING, while
the sunlight cleaned benignly down,
and said, "My children, I am glad you
are again happy. "-Enaaaa Burt, st.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Three Times One.
Keep your baby fashions,
Little maid;
Growing-up will spoil you,
I'm afraid
When the bonnie girlies grow,
Half their prsttinesses go
VINO could look at such as you
Without pang or two?
Well-a-day!
If could, I'd keep you,
Tiny chit,
AS you are this minute,
Every bit.
Not another inch of height;
Aren't we tall enough now, quite
Two-feet-two?
Why, I'd give my Sunday bonnet,
With the purple posies on 1t,
To be you!
Could the budlet only
Hold the flower,
Gould you spare your dimples
Half-an-hOur,
might recollect, you see,
How things looked when was three.
Very WELL
You know what there is to say,
You'll be big as some day
Won't you tell?
All! did but manage
matters mere,
Pinafores should fit you
Many year;
For dread lest when you're old,
You'll have lost your heart of gold
On the way;
That were sadder don't forget
Than to live to see my pet
Getting gray.
Goldlocks may some day
Miss their crinkle;
Forehead learn the feeling
OF a wrinkle.
Never mind so naU ght be stole
From the sunny-tempered soul
Worth sigh.
Thievish fate will have to pay
All he ever took away
By and by.
Stop you, then, I'd dare not,
If might,
Though the risks stand heavy,
Black-or white;
Game of hazard, every whit;
Luck and unluek, toss for 1t,
Yes or No;
Take your chances with the rest;
Natures methods must be best,
AS things.

Short Sermons by observation-disclosures

ALL SORTS OF HAIRS.
/ suppose you youngsters think that
all hairs are alike, except as to color; but
that is only because your eyes are not
very sharp. If your eyes were as sharp
as microscope, you could tell from the
tiniest slice of hair whether it grew on
boy or quadruped, and what quad
ruped. A human hair, am told, looks,
in that searching little instrument, like
hollow tube, quite transparent, and
marked with irregular lines around it.
On looking very closely, these lines are
seen to be the ends of separate surface
coats, or bark of the hair. Think of
your hairs having bark Inside the
thin, scaly covering is fbrous sub
stance, from the bulb where it begins, to
the point. The color of the hair is de-
cided by the color Of the fluid that fills
this transparent tube. A cats hair
looks, under this prying instrument,
like the trunk of an old, rough palm
tree; while bats hair resembles flowers
to form chain. A bat from India has
the trumpet-shaped cups expanded very
wide, and notched on the edge. Hair
from the head of abee is pointed and set
with short hairs standing straight out
from the stem and the hairs of cater
pillar are Like stout, horny rods, drawn
to point and set with spines on each
side.
This is very queer but there's an
other thing about it. IF the hairs Of
sheep, and other animals whose hair is
used in manufactures, had not rough
scales which clasp and mat together,
they could not be made into telling.
That is what makes broadcloth and
other wooden cloth so firm and strong.
DUMB DOGS.
What's the use Of dog that can't
bark? 1t seems that on the Guinea
Coast there is a race Of dogs that are ab-
solutely dumb. The bird that told me
does not know whether or not they are
good watch-dogs. Guesses not. Per-
haps they don't bark because they've
nothing to watch! I heard sailor say
that once a few dogs OF the barking kind
were left on the desert island Of Juan
Fernandez. Thirty-three years after
ward, when the original dogs were dead,
and their descendants had all grown
| wild, not one of the wild dogs could
bark. Then some of them were taken
away to another country by sailors, and
behold! after time they began to gain
their voices, and bark like common dogs.
This sounds Like a hard story, and I'll
not say yea or nay to it, though it was
told to me as truth that had been en-
dorsed by Mr.. Darwin.
DOGS THAT GO "A-CRABBING.S
Jack hears ali sorts of queer things.
| Listen to this true story: At low tide,
on the coast of Terra del Fuego (and
perhaps on some other coasts), crabs
! hide themselves under the loose stones
that are scattered thickly over the beach.
Here they lie carelessly, not dreaming of
danger, waiting for high tide. In the
meantime the dogs come looking for
their dinners. With one fore-paw they
turn over stone, and with the other
knock out the astonished crab. The
dogs have to be quick about it, too, for
If the crab has time to think, he grasps
the stone SO closely with his claws that
the dog cannot get him off, without
greater trouble than the dinner would be
worth.-St. Nicholas for September.

out. It measures eight inches in length,
four inches in diameter, and is creased
like futing-iron. The weight of this
tooth is four pounds and nine ounces.
