There passed down on the train the 9TH
er day an aged but smart looking lady, be-
tween sixty and seventy years of age, hav-
ing with her little child about two years
of age, whose dark complexion unmistake-
ably betokened Indian origin, and naturally
excited some curiosity. She was a widow,
with an only son living in Connecticut.
Her son grew to be young man, and,
filed with a love Of adventure, he forsook
the parental roof and came west. His ro-
wings at last led him to Bismarck, Dakota
Territory, where he became interested
with Indian traders, and finally married
rhe daughter of chief the fruit of the
union being one child. At length in an
engagement with the hostiles the young
man was killed. The sad news in due
time reached his mother. She was almost
disconsolate in her grief. With true ma
ternal affection she at once resolved to
search for her sons child, and, if possible,
find in it an object upon which she might
bestow her care and motherly love. Forth
with she journeyed to Minnesota. The
difficulties in the way formed no barrier to
her New England energy. Her diligent in
quiries along the Northern Pacific railroad
brought to her acquaintance man who
had known her son. For $50 he offered to
find the squaw who had been her sons
wife. Without going into the details of
the search it is sufficient to say that the
tribe of Indians was found and with it the
squaw and her child. When the lady first
saw her child she thought she could dis
cern IN it resemblance to her son, but
when the child was in the midst of a num-
ber of Indian children, it was hard to dis
Germ much difference. Nevertheless the
mother of the mother of the dushy little
half-breed was bent on having her sou
brought up under the gentler influences of
Connecticut civilization, and she quieted
her compunctions of barteriDg in human
flesh by the exgencies of the case and the
gift Of six sacks of -four to the bereaved
Indian mother. The old lady departed
with her new treasure, as happy as a boy
with a new toy. She fondled the little boy
with indescrlbable affection, and the little
red responded by making his doting grand
mother buy him all the peaches and ap-
pies that the train boy offered, The pic
ture of youth and old age has seldom
more romance in couple than was here
presented. It will not be surprising one
of these days to hear of this cultivated lit
tie savage pulling with the Harvard crew.

EVE-ANGELICAL CORNER,


All the stylish dresses for fall are to be
cut short.
Shetland floss is much more popular
than wool or worsted for shawls or saeuues.
Whole sets are shown of the new ribbon
material, comprising skirt, overskirt and
sacque.
The amount of Swiss plating put in the
train of dress renders long white skirt
unnecessary.
The latest in Paris for ladies' hats is
one of lustreless silver braid, with daisies
and ostrich tips.
Pins Of frosted silver in the shape of a
single plume are used to fasten black lace
around the throat.
Satin and broeade are the most popular
materials in the imported dresses at Stew
arts fer fall and winter wear.
Black stockings will be worn by all
tony English ladies this fall, and they
won't even bang their hair as an offset.
The President of the Central Pacific
railroad, few months ago, purchased for
his wife diamond necklace for SIG, ZOO.
A London merchant advertises "perfect-
ly natural looking eyebrows at 81 shillings

sired.''

pin in their apron so that it won't cratch a
fellows arm there will be more marriages.

MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.

Wait not till the little hands are at rest
Ere you fill them full of flowers
Wait not for the crown1ng tuberose
To make sweet the last sad hours:
But while in the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh, fill their liyes with sweetness!
Wait not till the little hearts are still,
For the loving look and phrase;
But while you gently chide a fault
The good deed kindly praise,
The word you would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
Oh, fill young lives with sweetness!
All! what are kisses On clay cold lips
To the rosy mouth we press,
When our wee one flies to her mothers arms,
For loves tenderest caress?
Let never a worldly bauble keep
Your heart from the joy each day should reap,
Circlng young lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys,
Give thanks for the fairy girls;
With dover of wealth like this at home,
Would you rifle the earth for pearls?
Wait not for death to gem loves crown,
But daily shower life's blessings down.
And fill young hearts with sweetness.
Remember the homes where the light has fed
Where the rose has faded away;
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
Oh, cherish il while you may!
And make your home garden of flowers,
Where JOY shall bloom through ehildhood's hours
And fill young lives with sweetness.

HOW YELLOW FEvTR ARISES.
THE PRODUCT OF AN INVISIBLE POISON
HOW IT SPREADS.

Surgeon General Woodworth, of the U.
S. Marine Hospital Service. has. issued a
cilcular regarding yellow fever. It is adj
dressed to the medical officers of the SER
vice, and says that although the quarantine
law was not passed in time for Congress to
make an appropriation, still everything is
being done which is possible without the
expenditure of money. Medical officers are
required to assist the civil health authori-
ties when requested to do so. The Sur
geon-General says:
The weight of scientific evidence seems to
warrant the conclusion that yellow fever is
produced by an invisible poison, capable of
self multiplication outside of the human Or
ganism, which it enters through the air
passages. The poison germ or miasn is a
product of the tropics. In this country
yellow fever has prevailed in most of the
Gulf and Atlantic cities, and in many of
the towns along the Mississippi river. In
some instances it has been carried inland
with the people fleeing from infected local
tiles, but it has never shown disposition
to spread epidemically at points remote
from the continuous water roads of COM
merce or 10 lodge in high, salubrious places.
The cities of the great lakes have always
been free from the disease. Yellow fever
cannot be said to be epidemic in the United
States, from the fact that in some years it
does not appear, though the important germ
undoubtedly survives the mild winters. 1t
appears to have about as much resistance
of cold as the banana plant; when the ba-
naua stalk is killed down by frost. the yel-
low fever does not recover until again inn
ported. The germ is transmissible. 1t is
capable of being transported in the cloth
ing and personal effects of passengers and
sailors, but its spread from one city to an
other is chiefly accomplished by vessels,
their damp, filthy holds aud bilgewater be-
ing it's favorite lurking places. Confine-
ment, moisture and high temperature favor
the multiplication OF virulence of the poi
son. When wharf or spot of ground or a
house becomes infected, the poison at once
commences to spread, creeping slowly in all
possible directions, continually enlarging
the area around the center of infection un-
less checked by disinfection, as has undoubt-
edly been done by the use of carbolic acid
in New Orlegns in former outbreaks. Yel-
low fayer is NIT fseE the
sick to the well, the sick and we'll being
dangerous only as possible carriers of the
poison germs or miasm. In support of this
assertion it may be stated that at quaran-
tine hospitals, where the effects Of yellow
fever patients are burned or otherwise thor
oughly disinfeeted before the admission of
the patients, the attendants do not contract
the disease. This has been demonstrated
many times. All well llersons whose effects
have been disinfecis q may be considered
harmless after SIX or seven days have
elapsed from the time of leaving an infect
ed district or vessel, as the period of incu-
bation Of the disease lasts from two tos six
days.

SUMMERS DONE,

Thinner the leaves of the larches show,
Motioness held in the languid air;
Fainter by waysides the sweetbriers grow,
Wide bloom laying their gold hearts bare,
Languishing one by one
Summer is almost done.
Deeper-hued roses have long since died;
silert the birds through the white mist fly;
Down of the thistles, by hot suns dried,
Covers with pale fleece vines growing nigh;
Little br ooks ca.mer run
Summer is almost done.
Later the flush of the sunrise sweeps,
Shortening the reign of the slow-coming day;
Earlier shade of the twilight creeps
Over the swallows skimmipg away;
Crickets their notes have begun
Summer is almost done.

captains of vessels, who have received these
facts with Indifference or refused them Gre
dence. It is to be hoped that more general
attention may be given to this important
subject; and as it is one which deeply con-
Germs the interests of the mercantile marine,
it seems most desirable that some public
body-the Wreck Commissioners, for in
stanee-should get together all the substan-
tial information which might lead to pla-
cling the matter in an effective shape.
What could be more applicable for initial
experiments than trial of life-boats, etc.,
going out in rough weather to stranded or
wrecked vessels? We throw out the hint.

Bread From Standing Wheat in -Four Minutes
and Thirty Seven Seconds.
carrolton lMo.l Democrat, July 25.

Carrolton (Mo.) democrat, JnIySo
The last sensation occurred last Thurs
day, when about fifty men were present by
invitation to see Jim Lawton beat his own
time of two years ago. when his wife had
bread baked in eight and quarter minutes
after the wheat was standing in the field:
At 10 o'clock a. m. the Buckeye reaper,
drawn by Cy. Burnett's dun mules, stood
at the corner of the growing neat, machine
gear ready for a start. Men we're stationed
every few feet along the line of the grain
ready to seize an armful as it fell from the
reaper and rush with it to the thresher
close by, which, under the direction of vet
eran drivers was getting under way for
business. At the mill, just sixteen rods
away, LaWton stood at the window watch
ing the moment when McCaw, on the
swiftest horse in the country, should start
from the thresher with the grain, while Mrs.
Lawton and her neice, Miss Alice, had all
preparations made to make griddle cakes
and biscuits in the. shortest possible time.
At the drop of the hat the dun mules
fifteen seconds the threshed wheat, about
a peck, was in the sack and on the horse,
and the race commenced for the mill.
There were too bridges to cross, and the
excited spectators could see only column
of dust, hear couple of taps on the plank
bridges as the horse flew over them at
lightning speed, and the wheat was deliv-
cred to Lawton in the mill. In one minute
and seventeen seconds the flour was deliv-
cred to Mrs. Lawton, and in three minutes
and fifty-five seconds from the starting Of
the reaper the griddle cake came from the
hands of Miss Alice, was gobbled by
dozen eager hands-and that was the last
of 1t. In four minutes and thirty-seven
seconds from the starting of the reaper,
according to the best double-timer stop
watch in the country, a pan of biscuits was
delivered to the hungry crowd by Mrs.
Law ton, and that was the last 6eefi
Then other pans of delicious biscuits were
baked more at leisure, and boiled ham and
ssone.minute biscuit" formed sandwich it
was right hard to beat, and then as it would
be impossible for western gathering to be
worthy the name without speech of some
kind. Mr.. Smiley proposed that General
Shields make speech. which he did, in
those incompatible graceful words of his
that fill even SO pIosaic proceeding as
grinding wheat with the poetry of elc-
quencs. Then Lawten, IN his modest way,
had to say something and be made little
speech, which was heartily applauded as
well as that of General Shields, and the
party separated.

GENERAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. hot, suItry
day. The usual summer dullness in business
is somewhat intensified by the fact that the last
days of the month are upon us.
During all of the day the Cotton market was
dull and easy. and sales were confined to 800
bales.
There was fair movement in Flour to the
local trade, and $50 bbls we're sold for shipment
to Jamaica, holders selling freely at current
rates. The sales to-day footed up 1895 bbls. at
prices ranging from So IS to Sc. according to
quality and brand. New wheat flour is begin
ming to arrive.
Though the market In Corn Meal was dull
and weak there was no quotable change in
prices, though they are barely maintained.
The sales of Corn are reported at 205O sacks at
49c u bushel, the supply being abundant and
the market easy.
There is an easier feeling in Pork. owing to
unfavorable advlces from Chicago, and our
market closed dull at our quotations.
The stock of Bacon is light. and the demand
for lots going into immediate consumption
being lively the market is stronger.
In the line of Dry Salt Meats, Shoulders are
from q to nc higher than our previous quota
tions. There were three car loads sold to-day
and the market closed steady.
COTTON-The market ruled dull and easy
throughout the day with sales of only 300 bales
