been sat upon, and his boots were full OF
snow. The policeman regarded him with
suspicion, the gentlemen with sup

value of Bombay civilians now bids
fair to rise yet higher, although the
real value will remain much as it was,
in view of the growing cheapness of

state of their widows fund, it has
been proposed that f400 instead of $500
per annum, should be the pension grant

widows after the lst of July, 1875:

two of men whose salaries are over
$50, 900, many more who receive over
S25 1000 per year, and hundreds whose
income from salary alone runs from
IS 900 to $4,000. Not by any means
does the remuneration depend upon
educational advantages. On the con-
trary. some Of the highest priced
officials are self made men with good
common 'cart-horse sense Away up
town is the superintendent Of large
ugar-retinery whose salary is $4,000
per year. Many years ago he came
here a poor German sugar-reliner, and
worked for days wages. He was fer
tile in genius, experimental a great
deal, and made valuable discoveries in
the refinery process. He was rapidly
promoted in salary and position, and,
when he received and was about to ac-
cept a salary of 5000 from d rival

remain. In the brewer inter.

leading Eastern roads receive less than
$4,000. The bank Presidents receive
enormous sums. At least six receive
$4,000 per year each; nine range
from 1925, 900 to $50, 900 and a number
gets from 10000 to $4,000. The same

A Miracle EXPLAINED.

P. R. Russell in the Boston Watchnan.
A case OF remarkable cure came I'M
der my observation in Manchester,
Mass. about 1850, while I was pastor
of the Baptist Church in that place.
There was worthy man and wife in
church by the name of Day. They had
an interesting and bright little boy, ten
or twelve years OF age. He came into
the house one day from school and
play, crying from pain in his hip and
leg. The family physician, having
been called in, sroke of the case as
serious one, and directed that the pa
tient be kept in bed, and quiet as pos.
sible. Day after day, and week after
week, he called, applied his various
remedies, and took the special pains to
keep the little sufferer quiet and still.
The leg was drawn up, and daily grew
more and more rigid. The doctor ex-
Eausted all his skill, but with no re-
lief, The family were in deep af1lic-
ton, and the church and neighbors eX-
pressed their kind sympathies. The
physician recommended, AS the last re-
sort, that the little sufferer be taken to
the Mclean Hospital in Boston, where
he might be examined and operated
upon by the best-trained surgeons in
the country. With much prayerful
solicitude and with tender hands, he
was conveyed to the hospital.
The doctors placed him, poised upon
one foot, upon a table, held up and
carefully examined the contracted and
somewhat withered limb. The doctor
conducting the examination at last
said, "can't you straighten out this
leg, my boy?" ''No. SIR 'sWell, you
can try. Now will bear down, and
at the same time you do all you can to
put the foot down to the table, The
doctor gently pulled downward by the
ankle with one hand, and rubbed the
muscles with the other hand ; the foot
was soon brought to the table. "Can't
you stand upon this foot now, boy!"
sNo, SIR ''We1l, you can try The
feet were spread land the boy was soon
able to stand on both legs squarely.
''Now, boy" said the doctor again,
''Can't you step along a little?' ''No,
sir" swell, you can try; and, a lit
tie steadying, he soon took one step,
and then another, and so on, and in
few minutes he was able to walk back
and forth on the table freely. The
doctor then said to his anxious and
wondering father, take the boy home
there is nothing the matter with him
but the contraction and stiffening Of
the muscles, growing out of contine-
ment and the want of action. The boy
took his fathers hand and walked
through the streets of Boston with
agility. When the cars came in at
night, was near the depot, anxious
to know the result of the hospital ex-
animation, and what was my surprise
and Joy to see the lame boy-hopeless-
ly afflicted, as the physician said, with
hip-complaint- on to the platform
and run up the street with the agility
! Of Young antelope.

The first carpet mandatory estab-
lished in the United States was in
Philadelphia, in l79l. The census of
1910, less than twenty years after, re-
ported the whole product of the United
States in this class of goods at 10000
yards, of which $500 yards were made
in Philadelphia. The census of 1870
shows that there were then $50 car
pet factories in the United States, EN-.
