The HOllering Woman.

THERE'S, saysthe Burlington Haaok-Eye,
one hollering woman" in every street.
A woman who never goes after anybody,
but always calls across the street, who
never looks for her children, but rushes
to the front gate and shrieks for them
until, in the pauses of her shouting, she
hears them answering from the room she
has Just left. Every street has one
hollering woman" No street has more,
for as soon as two hOllering women !"
are thrown by pitiless fate upon one
street, the neighbors vacate and emigrate
until rents come down, or, as it often
happens. one of the hollering women !"
pulls up stakes and goes elsewhere, for
they can not brook opposition. The
hOllering woman" generally manages
to keep her street in lively state of
Evolutionary excitement, and if you
happen to live within understanding dis
tance, your diurnal serenade is seme-
thing like this: "Tommy! Tom-mee /!
Tommy! Oh, Toni You Tom Come
right along here and break up some of
this dry wood, or I'll break your back !!
Mary! You Ma-ree! You get right
down off that tree-box this mint, you
great tom-boy, or I'll skin you within an
inch of your life! Ma-ree! Oh, Miss
Pinkhard! Miss Pinkhard! Oh-h.h |!
Miss Pinkhsrd! Won't you tell your
milkman, when he comes, to stop at my
gate? Mine come this morning before
we was up. Erasmus Erasmus |!
E-e-c-rasmus! E-e.e.rds-mus Come
right home and take this pail of mo-
lasses back to the grocery, and tell him
if he can't send what ordered don't
want any. Erasmus, say! Oh, Miss
Haralson! How's the baby's measels?
Did you try that tea ] sent over last
night? Who cut your new polonaise ?
Ma-ree! Mary! Where's Emeline gone
to, I'd like to know! Didn't l tell you
not to let her get out of your sight a
minute? Now, you hunt her up, and
bring her right home. Good morning,
Miss Barnaby. Did you know there was
burglars over to Throopses last night ?
Got in at the kitchen winder, and took
a pair of Mr.. TROOPS pants, with a dol
lar and half in 'en, and Miss Throop's
big jet bresspin! Where are you going ?
T0m-my! Tom mee ! oh, Tom! Mary, ]
say! Erasmus! Oh, Miss Pinkhard p
The serenade continues at random all
day long, and is familiar to every one
who has lived within gunshot of the
hOlleriLg woman"

| No medical account of his disease can
supply proper statement of the almost
supernatural endurance of the sufferer.
The simple fact is his frame was but q
mere skeleton. There was no flesh left.
The backbone was apparent from the
abdomen. The wonder is how the man
has survived 80 long. Yet at no time,
even to the last, did he fail to recognize
those about him. He talked of the
I country, of his relatives, of politics with
Mr.. Cox, and expressed with great sere-
nifty his hopes as a patriot in the
struggle. He was proud of the part he
had taken in public affairs, and without
repining he adhered to his peculiar
tenets of philosophy and faith.
At four p. m. the death struggle seemed
approaching. His respiration grew
short and feeble he sank W. "a collapse,
and he seemed in great pain, and fre-
quently the word "suffocation" escaped
his lips in faint whisper. Yet amid
that trying scene he still manifested
not only his usual fortitude, but his af.
fectionate recognition of his friends.
He pressed the hands of S. S. Cox, ex.
claiming, Goodbye, dear friend, God
bless yOu." His pulse ceased at the
wrists, and his limbs assumed marble
coldness. Time p used on, and the ap-
proach of the grim monster seemed to be
momentarily baffied by the extraordi-
nary vital power of the sick man. The
respiration grew stronger, and at six p.
m. the pulse returned to the wrists, the
heart beating with its usual force and
regularity.
Seven o'clock drew near; DIR. Pope sat
by his bedside conversing with Mrs.
Kerr, the friends having momentarily
retired. The Doctor asked Mr.. Kerr,
"Do you suffer any pain I" The patient
shook his head. "Do you feel easier
nowW He nodded his head emph atically,
at the same moment fixing an earnest
gaze on the doctor, expressing at once
thanks and relief from suffering.
Then fixing his steady gaze upon the
ceiling, his breath became perfectly
natural and regular. The sun gradually
declined behind the mountains, and as
his last rays family glimmered on the
horizon, 80 it seemed as if the quench-
less spirit was taking its last gaze through
its bodily organs of vision upon things
of earth, fainter and fainter grew his
breathing, and fixed grew the gaze. The
family and friends hastily gathered
around the bedside. The Ia heart
beatings grew soft and faint, J, Se those
of an infant sleeping The 81 sank,
and the deathless spirit took its noiseless
fight.
To the reporter Mr.. Cox said that he
asked Mr.. Kerr if "he was ready to CO."
He expressed his entire content with
heroic gentleDess which was one of his
characteristics. He conversed freely
about the future world, its rewards, hop es
and expectations, with calmEess and
equanimity. He had suffered SO much
that he desired to be relieved, and yet
he would not have his pain alleviated so
as to distract or stupety his mind. lie
based his hopes of better world upon
the practice and benevolence which he
had endeavored to illustrate in his life.
He impressed his views upon his son,
who is just entering upon his manhood.
His wife was near him constantly, and
but for the consolation of friends would
be incOnsOlable.

Cle0patra's Needle.
PHILADELPHIA Press.l

The city of Paris is proud, very proud
of the Obelisk Of Luxor, one of the two
great relics of ancient Egypt which
originally stood in front of Thebes (the
modern Luxor, where they were erected
1850 years before Christ. Both of these
we're given by Mehemet Ali, Viceroy of
Egypt, to the French Government in
acknowledgment of services rendered TO
Egyptian commerce, but only one was
removed. 1t is monolith, seventy-tw0
feet high, and weighs 500, 900 pounds. 1t
took three years, 1881 to 1888, to trans
port it from Egypt to Paris, where Its
erection took place in the Place de La
Concorde, in October, 1886. The entire
cost of bringing it from Ihebes and
planting it in Paris was $4,000 There
are two obelisks, Pompey's Pillar and
Cleopatra's Needle, in Alexandria, the
principal port of Egypt. The first is
erect; the other, lying on the sands, was
presented over half n century ago by
Mehemet Ali to George Nv of England.
This has never been removed, not so
much on account of the trouble, which
would be less from Alexandria than
from Thebes, as from the cost. That has
latterly been estimated as low as $50, 900,
and two sites have been offered for its
occupation in the event Of its removal to
London. One of these, on the Thames
Embankment, not far from the Parlia-
ment houses; the other, much more CEN
trail, near Charing Cross, on a triangular
piece of land, part Of the site Of North
umberland House, which building was
lately removed in order to carry out the
idea of making boulevard of the
Thames Embankment. Small as is the
estimated expense, the British public
have never taken very kindly to the idea
of erecting Cleopatra's Needle in Lon
don. 1t is now proposed to raise 1t from
its fallen state, to purchase and inciose
the ground upon which Pompey's Pillar
stands ESQ as to protect both from depre-
dation and decay, and to present 1t to
the Egyptian Government, which is suf-
ficiently enlightened to desire to perpet.
uate such a landmark of the reign OF
Cleopatra. "Surely we ought to pause,
the s,lpgester of the latter design says,
"before breaking link with the past
which when once interrupted, could never
be restored"

Insanity in the United States.
tScribner's Monthly.l

The intelligent care of the insane, with
q view to the restoration to health and
society, is so recent that it may be dated
in the United States in the present CEN
tury. The time is even within the re
collection of many now living when
faith in the durability of the diseasebe-
came general, even among medical men.
Upon the dawning of the belief that in
sanity was susceptible of cure, hospitals
began to be built, for the two-fold pur-
pose of custody and treatment, for be-
sides the difficulty of taking care of
lunatics at home, it was found that COM
paratively few recovered. From this
period hospitals began to be regarded as
not only the best, but to most persons
the only places for the insane. Hence
an increasing demand for their accom-
modation; and though their numbers
have multiplied largely and have greatly
increased in size, they are still made
quate to entertain all who knock at
their doors, and with piteous appeals
seek admission. In this connection may
be noted curious result Of the estab-
lishment of new hospital facilities. The
newer states in estimating the hospital
capacity necessary for their insane, have
naturally consulted the census statistics
to find what number to provide for; but
il is invariably found that when u hos
pital is opened for the accommodation
of a given district, the applications for
admission far exceed its capacity, largely
outnumbering the statistics collected by
the census-taker. The country seems
suddenly thronged with insane people
and we are apt to be impressed with the
belief that this dread disease is largely
on the increase. But the probable fact
is that no such increase really exists.
1t is not unnatural that, mainly out Of
family pride, the questions of tho census.
takers are often evaded, and the relatives
Of the unfortunate patient, seeing nc
benefit TO come from revealing this
skeleton in the closet" keep it from
observation. But, promptly, when an
asylum is opened within their reach
free to all without pay, the curtain II
drawn and they come forward with theil
afflicted.
That insanity does not increase, pre-
rata, at least in the United States, il
proven by the census returns for tn,
past twenty years. In 1850, this country
had population of 23,191 ,876, and |
total number of insane and idiots o
81 ,397, or in 37S. In 1860, with pop
ulation of 81 ,443 1922, there were 1886
insane and idiots, or in 1888; and il
1870, with a population of 1866, ,983
there were 81, 800 of that class, or il
| 623.
In England, during the same period
there was an average of about / in 450
in Scotland, in 460; in Ireland | il
400; in France, in 600, and in Austria
liza, in 524. These reports, If accurate
show favorable condition in this coun
try as compared with that of others.

The Good King AlphOnsO.

King Alphonso, of Arragon, who was a
good and pious man, heard with pain
that the pages Of his court had quite
given up the habit of saying grace either
before or after their meals, or even OF
saying their prayers; so he thought he
would give them lesson. One day these
boys were invited by the king to dine
with him at his own table. Dressed in
their best attire, and delighted at the
idea of the honor they were about to re-
ceive, the pages came into the royal
dining-room. They were sE Eown their
seats at the royal dining table, and king
and guests sat down to dinner, no bless
ing being asked as usual before they be-
gan the meal. This was, indeed, arranged
beforehand by the king.
During dinner, to the surprise of all,
there stepped into the dining hall beg
gar, who, in spite of his rags and his dirt,
went up to the royal table, sat down,
and, without n king an apology or ask
ing leave, began to eat and drink to his
hearts content.
The pages, exceedingly surprised, kept
looking at the king as if TO ask his leave
to turn out this unlimited visitor. The
king himself had planned beforehand
that the man should come in in this bold
way, without being asked, and he, quietly
and patiently, sat watching him eat and
rink without saying anything or appear
ing to take any notice. At last, after
having made very hearty meal, the
beggar got up and went away, without,
however, having, by word or look,
thanked the king and his courtiers for
the feast.
Turning to the pages, King Alphonso
then said: "Well, gentlemen, how do
you like this man?'
/" Not at all, your majesty" they all
replied. "Never did we see a man SO
rude, so ungrateful, so shameless, as that
beggar!"
Upon hearing this reply, the king rose
up and said, in a loud, solemn voice,
which could be heard by all present:
"You yourselves have been as rude and
ungrateful as that poor man. Every day
you have been richly fed by King far
greater than / am-even by our Heavenly
Father, who giveth us richly all things
to enjoy; but you have sat down and
risen up again, day after day, without
thinking for moment of the Giver of all
these good things"
The boys blushed, and slipped away
from the royal table without single
word. but never again did they pass Il
single day without asking Gods blessing
and thanking Him for His gifts.

Strauge Death from RemOrse.

[ Dayton, o., Correspondence Cincinnati Enquircy.l
The public will remember that about
fifteen years ago Henry M. Brown, be.
cause of political differences, murdered
J. +. Bollmyer, at that time editor and
proprie tor Of the Dayton Empire. Meet
ing Bollmyer on the way from market
one day, he shot him with revolver,
from which he died almost instantly.
Brown was subsequently tried for the
murder, but because of political feeling
was, after some delay, acquitted. For
fourteen long years Brown, filled with
remorse and deserted and Stunned by
his former friends, has been an outcast.
OF late years his mind has been en-
feebled, and during the past year or two,
from want of sleep and rest and appetite,
never being at rest or at ease, he became
living skeleton. About i've weeks
ago he left home to walk or wander out
into the country. Late one evening he
was seen going out Wayne street, since
which time he was not recognized by
any one until his remains were found
this morning in field of broom corn,
near the Asylum. Having lain there
through the heat and storms of five
weeks, nothing, of course, was left of the
remains but the mere skeleton and his
clothing. The skull, however, is miss
ing and can not be found. His bones
were gathered together and were buried
in Woodland Cemetery, and the coroner
has held an inquest, but, of course, moth
ing can be learned of his death, except
the mere supposition, which amounts
almost to certainty, that to escape the
torturing remorse which continually fol
lowed him he wandered into the broom
corn field and perished from exhaustion

THE EVENING BELLA.
By CHARLES s. LARNED.

Soft ring the bells In the village splre,
And the west spreads out a sea Of fire;
Down by the river, beyond the wood,
The villagers d we'll In brotherhood:
Afar roll the meadow lands to the sky,
And the bells are ringing the day goodbye.
Soft ring the bells q mellow song,
And evening shadows glide along,
Like dead black beings under the trees,
And fainter grow the melodies;
Blue and dark the world, at rest,
And only line Of red In the West.
Soft ring the bells on the evening air,
Calling the resting land TO prayer;
The mist bends down to the rivers flow,
And along the sky dying glow
Thus cen liie's day lies down In the west,
When The bells shall ring US forever to rest

Prince are given in an English paper:
On the 9th, at five in the evening, he
