Three freight cars containing So, 000,-
600 worth of silk-worm eggs arrived at
ST. Johns Park Depot on Tuesday.
They had come from Hong Kong to San
Francisco in twenty-three days, and
thence to New York in less than seven
days, the speed being faster than the
mails are carried by the same route.
This uncommon cargo is going to Italy
and the south of France, and could have
reached it's destination quicker and at
less cost by way of the Suez Canal, but
it has been found useless to ship them
that way because the Southern climate
matches the eggs.
The silk worms are put upon long
sheets Of cardboard in China, and are
left until each board is covered with
eggs, which are about the size of mustard
seed. The eggs stick to the cards, which,
interlaid with sheets of paper, ARE packed
in the wooden boxes, tightly closed, and
wrapped in canvas and mating. In this
shipment there were SAT cases, contain
ing over 100000 cards. The cases were
transferred yesterday to the Hamburg
steamer Frisia, which viii sail for Europe
to-day. When the eggs reach their des-
tination, they will be stored in vaults,
secure against warmth, until the null
berry trees on which they feed have
grown their foliage. --4NeaO York San.

awakened no troubled feeling, brought
no image of an unpaid bill. True, there
were unpaid bills, but none of recent

instead of being fifteen hundred dollars,
was scarcely six hundred, and this sum

remarkable Case.

A remarkable case of restoration Of
speech has recently occurred. Some
time ago little son of Mr.. Daniel j.
Farr, who lives at No. Lafayette street,
lost his voice, and was unable to speak
above whisper. The parents were
greatly distressed on account OF it, for
he was bright little fellow, and they
consulted many physicians, but they
told them that the vocal organs were
paralyzed, and that he would never be
able to speak aloud. A few days ago the
boy went out to skate, and as he arrived
at the ice he saw some of his playmates.
Without thinking he attempted to shout
to them, and to his great surprise ne ut
tered loud s'halloo." He at once start
ed on the run for home, and shouted;
" Mother, can speak" The mother
was at first much startled, bit. when she
found that her boy had really regained
the use of his voice, her delight may be
better imagined than described. - Port

A New Settler.

The Detroit Free Press has the fol-
lowing in its police report: "Say, you,
I want to go home!' exclaimed Aaron
Wallace, as he came through the door.
q Mr.. Wallace, we are always wanting.
The man who wrote Man wants but lit
tie here below didn't live great while,
because they sent him to l1lnatic asy-
lum."
"But must be off on the early train, !"
persisted the prisoner.
"What train r.
g For Klumbus."
"There are many sad thoughts con-
nected with your case" said his Honor,
as he leaned back and tossed chestnut
from one hand to the other.
That train will go, Judge, and leave
me here I"
81 think it will. Many trains will
come and go without regard to you. You
came here a stranger, thinking to settle
in Detroit-in the only city In the world
where a grocer will give you a box of
soap if you hint to him that he puts sand
in his sugar. You lied to people, had a
fight in street car, got drunk, and the
way you became a settler was to settle
down in the mud"
"I'll give million dollars to get out
of this !" exclaimed the prisoner.
st don't doubt it, Mr.. Wallace but
the die is cast-the mold is prepared

up for thirty days. =

" Be calm Mr.. Wallace you are red

cession to the family of nations thus leads
the van in appreciation of our Centennial
fair. It is the old story, " the last shall
be the first. sAF
IT is settled that Dom Pedro II, EN-
peror of Brazil, will come to Philadel-
phia early In the spring. A residence to
cost $50, 900 has already beenpicked out
for him, and Brazilian exhibition build
ings are going up in the park. Mean

AN Associated Press telegram from
Washington says: "The guests of the
Centennial authorities who have returned
from Philadelphia express themselves as
much gratifed with the manner in
which they were entertained both in the
city and on the Exhibition grounds, and
say their hopes of the success of the en-
terprise were much strengthened by be-
ing made acquainted with the progress
of the work, the large amount OF money
already subscribed, and the interest
manifested by foreign governments,
which have secured ample space for the
exhibition of their respective products.
In addition to promised support by
members of Congress who attended. the
banquet, many others have privately ex-
pressed their views to the same effect;
so that it may now be safely said that the
81 500, 900 asked for by the commission
will be appropriated by Congress, in
order to place the exhibition beyond the
possibility Of failure"

An Infant SmOthered in Its Mothers
Arms.

s4t q
It was cold, bitterly cold, yesterday
afternoon, when Fred. B. Bastron and
his wife left their residence on South
avenue to visit the parents of Mrs. Bas-
tron, who reside at 49, Thorn street.
They took with them their only child, a
girl four months old. TO protect the
child from winters cold, they carefully
wrapped her in a heavy shawl. The
sleigh-runners moved over the frosty
ground, the bells jingled, and they were
on their way. They little thought those
bells were the music of a funeral train,
however; but SO twas. The fond mother
knew not that the very method she had
adopted to ward off cold and death from
her infaIlt was the surest way to invite
the grim enemy. Passing down North
Paul street, they crossed the Vincent
place bridge. While going over the
bridge the child cried, and the mother,
thinking that the cold wind from the
gulf below troubled the little one, drew
her closely to her breast and wrapped the
shawl more closely. The child cried
once more on Lake avenue and then was
still. It never moved again. 1t had
died in its mothers arms. "Smothered
to DEATH" was what the physician said
when they called MIN to where the dead
babe and It's grief stricken mother stood.
Arriving at the house of her father,
Christian Kramer, the mother hurried In
and soon removed the shawl from the
child. It was corpse. DR.. Weyburn
was summoned, but medical aid was use
less. Life had been crowded out By the
very means adopted tosecure its preserv-
alton. Rochester (N2Y) Democrat.

THE DYING YEAR.

Yes. the year is growing old,
And his eye is pale and cleared.

Plucks the old man by the beard;

Solemnly and slow!
Cav! Cav the rocks are calling,

They are chanting solemn masses.

Pray-pray"
