POETRY
The Night That Baby Died.

No black plumed hearse goes slowly sweeping
by,
No suits of woe nor masks OF misery,
No long procession winding to the TOMB
Its serpent length of stimulated gloom;
Only one carriage and two mourners there,
Who On the other seat, a burden bear
A little pine wood coffin, rudely stained
To initiate fabric finer grained.
WHO would suppose that that small box con-
The hopes, the fears, the joys, the exultan'
pride
Which in the dark were cruclned, 80
The night that Baby died:
Poor Baby! What CLEAN OF glory III
Yon wretched hovel, when he frightened II
With his sweet presence OF a wlnter inoin.
Saw not that he to poverty was porn,
For from the first his blue, contented eyes
Reflected visions of serener skies
Tie saw. beyond the world that round us
lies,
That far-off shore whose outlines seem so
dim;
He found companions in the seraphim,
And al the wealth of Heaven belonged to
him.
Its pearlv portals angles opened wide,
The night that Baby died.
He was not poor, but very poor were they
TO whom he camc-brief sunshine of their
day
The only sunshine that was ever lent
To light the gloom Of their dark tenement.
And when he fell into the final sleep
Their hearts were torn by agony so deep
That, bending over him, they could not weep,
But gazed upon him in their dumb despair,
Upon the little face supremely fair,
The aureole glory of his yellow hair,
Then Rugged the grief to which tears were de-
MED,
The night that Baby died.
Dear Lord. who art the poor mans friend and
shield,
Be with that carriage in the Potters Field;
Command the white wings Of the Holy
Ghost
To cover them who need Thy healing most.
And when upon the little coffin lid
The dull earth falls--the poor pine box is
hid
Though no priest pray, and never prayer is
said,
BE thou with them to sanctify their dead.
And though their lives through tortuous path
be led,
Teach then to know, whatever is denied,
They gained the love of Him, the cruciiied,
The night that Baby died.

MERIT REeoeN,zEp.

Benson's CapcIne roroos Piasters receiv

the Philadelphia Exposition, over all arti-
cles OF like character, proving by the high
est medical authority in the world, that
they are greatly superior to ordinary porous
plasters, and not patent mediclne-as no

there. Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster is
positively the best external remedy ever
devised. They relieve pain at once, and

PENNS YLVANIA ELECTOR
OBJECTED TO.

Congressman Stenger, of Penna., is
preparing objections to Elector Daniel j.
Morrell, on the ground that he was Cen
tepnial Commissioner, and that his case
is similar to that of the Rhode Island
Commissioner. The Rhode Island SUI
preme Court held that Centennial Com
missioner holds an office of trust; that a
man voted for who held that position on
the dag of election could not be ap-
pointed an elector. His resignation af-
forwards would not cure the defect, be-
cause he could not resign an Office to
which he was elected. The Pennsyl-
vania statute says, after declaring that
electors shall be chosen by the people:
"If such an elector shall die or fail to at
tend, the other electors shall fill the
vacancy" The objection will hold that
Morrell was not appointed an elector, and
there was no vacancy to fill. John
Reilly, of Altoona, went before Fields
and swore that Morrell the
commissioner was Morrcll the elector
named IN the Governors certificate, and
that he knew the fact because Morrell
had told him that he had paired with a
man on the day of the election in order
to go down to Philadelphia to attend to
his duties as commissioner.

DEATH RATES AT DIFFERENT.
AGES.

Although the mathematical calcula-
tions in life insurance are rather intri-
cate, nothing can be simpler than its
foundation principle, Iknown as the
law of average This may be formula
ted thus: All ordinary human events,
such as births. deaths, marriages.
weather phenomena, crimes, casual
ties, are found to recur with acertain
average regularity, when observation
is extended over a wide area and q
long period. A and b might insure
each other at the schedule rates, but
they would get no protection from
average until they joined with them a
large number of others. The applica-
tion of average to life insurance is
simply. that while nothing is less cer>
tain than an individual life, nothing is
more so than the duration of life in
the mass. That is, il we take large
body of selected persons of the same
age, it is utterly uncertain which ones
will die in any year, but perfectly GER
tain ho,o many will die on the average
yearly until all are gone; if more die
in one year than is expected, some fol-
lowing years will bring variance the
other way and restore the average. OF
course, the rate of mortality increases
with age and the "law" undertakes to
affirm merely that out of q given num-
Der Of selected persons of one age, say
1928 will die ON the average this year,
S4S next year, $40 the next, and so on.
To show hisprogression. the following

100, ,00U selected lives at age 10), show

The SOUTH IN THE CABINET.-About
a month ago the republicans were threat
ening to turn Mr.. Lamar out of the Sem
ate ON the charge of "bulldozing" in
Mississippi. The Springfield Republic
can seems to wonder thats some of
them should now be begging him to take
The same paper asks il it is good and
polite thing to take n orthern democrat
like Kendall Gibson, Governor Brown,
of Tennessee, or Senator Lamar into
President Hayes's cabinet, why isn't it
also to to take a Northern democrat like
Mr.. Hewitt, Gov. Hubbard, of Connecti- :
cut, or Senator Randolph, of New jersey?
They are alike the same sert of honest,
(high-toned, patriotic men. And if re-
publican voters are wanted in the South,
they are needed also in some of the
Northern States as well especially in New
| York, New jersey and Connecticut.

"A Study of Words.

Transylvania Presbyterien: A study of
the pedigree Of many words which are in
daily use would prove more fascinating
than any other kind of mental recreation.
Trench, in his little work on the "Study
Of Words" has done much to cultivate
the taste for this kind ofinyestigation;but
he made only a beginning. The field is
inexhaustible. In this article we pro-
pose to give short list, to which we will
add from time to time:
.'Jet" derives its name from the Gag
ates, river at Lycia, where was found
the black stone which the French call
gagate, or jaet, which we abbreyiate into

books, has given her name to thes'pamph-

"Punch and Judy" are the relics Of an
ancient mystery play in which the
actors were Pontius Pilatc and Judas
Iscariot. ....,4 =.
"Dollar''is from the German thaler
which is derived from Thai, the valley
Of Joachim, In Bohemia, where the sill
yer works were situated that made this
coin.
"Bigot" is from Visigoth, in which the
fierce and intolerant Arianism Of the Visi
goth conqueror of Spain has been handed
down to infamy. .lfI
"Humbug" is from Hamburg; ga piece
of Hamburg news" was, in Germany, a
proverbial expression for false political
rumors.
mExhort" and "yeast are from the same
root, which signifies something boiling or
|overflowing. a.
"Gas" and "gust' have the same
parentage. Nd
Blue Jeans Williams prepably does not
know that the fabric from which he gets
his name was originally made by Moors,
at Jean, in Spain.
"Gauze" derives its name from GAIA,
where it was first made. as-.l
Damask silk was.first made at Damas-
Gus.
The word 'spanic" has a curious origin
According to Herodotus the god Pan
was supposed to have assisted the Greeks
at the battle Of Marathon, 400 B. c.,
striking such a terror into the Persian
hosts that they fed totheir ships in per-
feet dismay. From that time the Greek
term panikon was used to describe IN
reasonable or sudden and overpowering
fear.
"Tabby cat" is all unconscious that her
name is deriyedfrom Atab famous street
in Bagdad, inhabited by the manufac-
turers of silken stuffs called Atabi, our
taffety, the wayy markings of the watered
silk resembling pussy's coat.

"Old Nick" is none other than Nikr.
the dangerous water demon Of the Scan

In the phrase "Deuce take it" the
deity Tiw still continues to be invoked.

can be stated qnite authoritatively from
both sides that Mr.. Conkling has had no
such conferencc, and had no interviews
yesterday with Speaker Randall, ex-
Congressman Voorhees, and other Demo
Gratis on political matters. There is no
more truth in this story than in the one
which was started early in the week that
he intended to denounce the decision of
the commission on Louisiana and would
be supported by enoughRepublican sena-

is a pure invention. Mr.. Conkling was

Deaths Mortality Rate,

The number of deaths.rises annually
to age 73, then sinks rapidly, the class
being nearly exhausted; the number
surviving steadily falls; but the ratio
of deaths continually increases and
the rate of increase in this ratio itself
increases.-From "An Exposition of
