A Mothers MOurnfnl Death.

The closing pages of East Lynne,
wherein the novelist aptly pictures the
sad finish of the wasted and blackened
life of woman, among her children, al
most find parallel in the death of Mrs.
Kate Moynahan, on the West Side, last
night. There is one difference, and an
important one, namely, the causes lead
ing to the separation of mother and
children are widely dissimilar. In the
case of the mother depicted by the nov
elist it was crime, in the present case it
was vice-intemperance. Mrs. Kate
Moynahan was 38 years old, and the
mother of three children. Awhile back
her husband, James, after years of use
less pleading, was compelled to apply
for divorce from the mother of his
children, owing to her uncomfortable
passion for strong drink. The decree
was granted, and the pair went various
ways, the father being awarded the Gus
tody of the children. Perhaps it was
thought by the discovered pair that they
would never meet again, but the moth
er's love for her children was such that,
after brief absence, she sought the
husband she had sinned against, and
begged one boon, that she might be al
lowed to call and see the little ones at
intervals. The request was granted, and
she called at times at their home, 90
Aberdeen street, and spent an hour with
the dear ones 1t was noticed that her
spells of drinking were becoming less,
and the possibilities of a brighter future
began to glimmer. But that dream is
over now. Between 6 and z o'clock last
evening Mrs. Moynahan went to the
home, and, after being there a brief
while, sadly conversing with and weep
ing over her little ones, she fell back in
her chair dead.-Chicago Inter. Ocean.

Poison i'm the SILK Handkerchief.

Dangers Turk sometimes in unsus-
pected quarters. The following brief
paragraph from the Warwick IN. "
Advertiser affords an illustrations "On
one of the warm days of last week, Mr..
w. Z. Sayer, of this village, while in
the cars on his way home from New
York, used new reddish-colored silk
handkerchief to wipe the perspiration,
dust and cinders from his face. The
next day his face was covered with
blotches, which had every appearance
of having been caused by some poison
GUS substance. The handkerchief, no
doubt, was the cause, it being probably
colored by an aniline dye"

acquaint themselves with the nutritious
properties of these succulent vegetables.
He has just found in Vermont, for in
stance, a huge puff-ball, which, in a
fresh condition, he says, would have
made an excellent meal for half a dozen
persons. When fresh the flesh on be-
ing cut should remain without the
slightest tinge of yellow. Cut in slices,
dipped in egg and -four and properly
cooked, the dish can hardly be distin-
guished from the best omelet, having in
addition delicate oyster flavor.

GEN. BRIsBIN estimates that there are
now 92,729 Indians on reservations in
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
They occupy 92,757,953 acres of land,
which he would open to settlement by
removing the Indians to permanent
Indian Territory north of the Missouri
and Columbia rivers. He would give
up the entire region between these
rivers and the British Possessions, cut
ting it up into reservations extending
from the rivers north to the boundary
line. He believes this the best game
region left; that it will be the last por-
ton of the country settled by the
whites, and he would put the Indians
there and allow no whites to cross the
line.

Com collectors will be interested in
the fact that one of the 5-franc pieces
coined under the nephew of his uncle
has just been sold for $48. 1t was one
of the coins known as the lock-of-hair"
pieces. Immediately after the coup
d'etat, Napoleon ordered the coin
age of silver with his effigy; die was
prepared, and a proof-coin struck off and
sent to the Elysee. Those were busy
times there, and the Prince-President
left the coin carelessly on the chimney
piece for two or three days. When
next he Glanced upon the proof-coin, on
examining it closely, he was dissatisfied
with the curl of one lock of hair upon
the temple, and sent it back to the mint,
with directions to have the defect
altered. The messenger reached the
mint just as the Director, taking silence
to mean assent, had ordered the work
men to begin striking off the 5-franc
pieces. Before the order was counter
handed, few pieces-twenty-three, the
legend says-had been minted, and, as
may naturally be supposed, these pieces
have peculiar value for collectors on
account of their rarity.

II you will be good and quiet be,
And come and stand by mammals knee.
Well, years, and years, and years ago
How many don't really know
There came q rain on sea and shore
Its like was never seen before
Or since. II fell unceasing down.
Till all the world began 10 drown.
But Just before IL gan TO pour
An old, old man-his name was Noah
Built him an ark, that he might save
His family from watery grave.
And in il also he designed
To shelter two of every kind
OF beast. Well. dear, when il was done.
And heavy clouds obscured the sun,
The Noah folks to IL quickly ran,
And then the animals began
To gravely march along in pairs
The leopards, tigers, wolves and bears.

The rabbits, squirrels, elks. walruses,
The camels, goats, cats and donkeys,
The tall giraffes. the beavers, monkeys,

The sheep and mice, the kangaroos,

And at the very. very end

And master, faithful dog was seen.
The livelong time he'd helping been
To drive the crowd of creatures in;
And now, with loud, exultant bark.
He gsyly sprung aboard the ark,
Alas 30 crowded was the space,
He could not in il find place;
So, patiently he turned about
And those extremely heavy showers
Descended through nine hundred hours
And more; and, darling at their close.
Half frozen was his honest nose,
And never could il lose again
The dampness of that dreadful rain.
And that liz what, my curls of gold,
Makes all doggies' noses cold!

Bound to Have His Outlet.

A Brazilian Count, millionaire, was
dining at the table d'hote of fashion
able hotel in Paris. His outlet was to
his taste, and he ordered another.
1--WE only give one outlet" said the
manager, "and no bread with one fish
ball"
Without word the Count rose, went
out, bought the hotel, returned, led the
manager to the front door and kicked
him down the steps, then, reseating him
self at the table, said:
Bring me another outlet"
They brought it swift as the eagle
cleaves the air.

PRINCE ARTHUR, Duke of Connaught,
has left England to devote a month to
the serious business of counting. He
has gone to Potsdam to see that "sweet-
est face to him in all this world and
will not leave for the space of exactly
one lunar revolution. This is the Ion
gest time on record that Prince of the
House of Guelph has been known to
dedicate to the solemnities of love-
making. The Prince of Wales used to
take flying visits to Denmark, and hard
ly gave himself time to say good
morning" before he was off again. The
Duke who affects the sea met the daugh-
ter of the Gar at a ball or two in the
Winter Palace, and, in true sailor fash
ion, proposed and married her off-hand.
But the Duke who is soldier is evi-
IDENTIFY bent on the regular routine of
sap and trench, and is investigating the
heart of his sweetheart as he would a

AT last good news comes from the
famine districts in China. Rain has
fallen in sufficient quantities to hold out
promise of fair autumnal crops. All
that is now Immediately required there
fore, is to find support for the sufferers
until the grain is once more gathered
in. But the more important question
of how can such visitations be avoided
for the future still remains for the con-
sideration of the Chinese Government.
During the last dynasty-from 1868 to
162S-the provinces now suffering from
drought were visited by similar periods
of famine forty times. That the ex-
IRENE verge of misery was sometimes
reached may be gathered from the
ominous statement appended to the ac-
count of ten of them that "men eat
each other" The records of the pres
ent dynasty are not yet available, but
there is no reason to suppose that the
droughts have, under the Manchoo rule
been less frequent than formerly.
