Rosewood.

g It has puzzled many to decide why the
dark wood so higly valued for pianos,.
and in these times so cleveriy initiated,
should be called rosewood. It's color.
certainly, does not look like that of rose,
but when the tree is first cut, the fresh
wood possesses strong, rose.like fra
GRANGE; hence the name. There are half
a dozen or more kinds of rosewood trees
found in South America and in the East
Indies and neighboring islands. Some
times the trees grow so large that planks
four feet broad and tsn feet in length can
be cut from them. These broad planks
are principally used to make tops for pi-
ano fortes. When growing, the rosewood
tree is remarkable for its. beauty; but
such is its value in manufactures as an
ornamental wood, that some of the forests
where it once grew abundantly, now have
scarcely single specimen. In Madras
the government has prudently had great
plantations of this tree set out in order to
keep up the supply.

Cruelty to CanarIeS.

"a "bird lover" sends this communica-
tion-applicable to all localities-to the
New York Herald: "As a lover Of song
birds beg small space in your -valu-
able Complaint Book for the purpose to
call attention to a species of cruelty that.
is being constantly practiced by ladies'
who keep canaries, Of course in utter ig-
norance OF the fact. During the present
intense heat l have been frequently
panied by seeing hapless canary birds
hung up their brass cages in the blazing
sunshine. To keep bird for two or
three hours exposed to the rays of the
sun when the thermometer stands eighty
degrees or ninety degrees is simply to
shorten it's life. All birds love tosport in
the sunlight, but 1t is contrary to comm On
sense to expect Gagged bird to be healthy
after continuous sun bath of six or
eight hours. If ladies desire that their
pets may enjoy the sun in a natural way
let them cut round cover Of green pap
er, With hole in the middle, and place
it on top of the cage, so that the. little
creature may have shade whenever it
wishes to rest. am urged to write, this
note because to-day neighber of mine
found her bird dead in the cage, and,
judging from the symptoms, It was a
clear case of sunstroke. The best plan
is to put the bird out in the early morn
ing sunshine, but by eleven o'clock the
cage should be withdrawn to the shade
behind the window blinds; then health
will be secured and the number of sud-
den deaths among these feathe:ed pets
greatly reduced. You might as we'll
wrap child in blanket and send it out
to play in the hot street as to keep
canary in the sun all day."

A Curious Crime.

A most singular revelation has been
brought about by the demolition of an
old house in the Rue Galere, Brest.
Thanks to little sandal wood Golfer fill
ed with papers, which the picks of the
workmen uncovered, hidden behind
loose stone in the chimney, the
victim of a long forgotten assassination
has been discovered to have been the last
descendant of King.
In May, 1850, an old woman named
Benoit, who lived in this house, with a
number Of other people equally poor like
herself was found dead in front OF the
fire. place above mentioned. She was in
her night-dress, and, from the appear
ance of the room, had been violently
dragged from the bed, and had struggled
hard previous to expiring.
HER SKULL WAS BEATEN IN, I
evidently with blows from bludgeon
delivered with terrible violence. The
room was horribly wrecked, asif the
murderer, crazed by blood and blinded
by rage, had experienced spite against
the very walls. Two empty brandy bot
ties and glasses on the single window
ledge suggested that the crime had fol
lowed a debauch.
A blind beggar, known as Papa Mare
chal, with whom the dead woman had
lived, was missing. He was said to have
been in the house the night before. The
police sought but found him not. At lag,
an officer came upon his, dog, playing with
some other cur. on quay. He watched
and followed the animal to house in The
suburbs. Papa Marechal was vertically
there, and was at once arrested.
The blind assassin, Tor such he was
made no attempt to deny his guilt. He had
long lived on bad terms with Nine. Benoit
| Her extravagant expenditure Of the fruits
of his mendicancy was the cause. On thu
night Of the murder both had beer
drunk. She went to bed first, and he sa
before the fire drinking. From time Il
time from the bed she greeted him witt
taunts, curses and foul language. a
last, goaded beyond endurance, he CROPPED
his way to the bed and dragged her out
She was powerful woman, and made
good fight Of it; but he overcame her q
last, and beat out her brains with hi
heavy staff Having satisfied himsel
that she was dead, he fed.

under surveillanc and died there. Tn

puruleut n after, and in three months the
BODY is a mass of sores. The face is de-
stroyed. blindness sets in, and the mouth
and lips become contracted, so that the
sufferer-they are all French Canadians
cannot receive the holy sacrament IN
his dying hours, Toward the end the
disease, after doing its deadly wor'1 IN
ternally, lodges in the throat, the symp-
toms resembling those or accute asthma.
The patient cannot rest; he smothers.
Lifting himself from the pallet, and in
tones no longer like those Of the human
voice, he pleads for more air. Father
Guillemin, lately in charge of the lazaret
to, in describing the death scene, writes:
''Imagine the expiring leper making
spasmodic movements as he turns and
twists himself in vain to catch a deeper
breath of air. Horrible contortions fol-
low. Now he rushes-that is, if his
weakness permit toward the open win
dow; now he points supplicatingly to the
door, Hear his furious yells, his lamen,
tations, MS cries Of despair, his groans
%. God have mercy on me! have mercy!
have mercyp At last with Joy, yea, with
tears of Joy streaming from his darkened
orhs, he halls the grim deliverer. There
is brief struggle, final wall of agony;
he chokes, and another Lazarus may have
been taken to Abraham's BOSOM"
Something over Is per cent. Of the pa
TENTS recover, but the disease leaves the
survivors weak ana crippled for life,
EARLY in 1868 the nuns Of the Hotel Dieu
Montreal, took charge of the pest-house,
and the Trappist monastery at Dorches-
ter, N. B., also sends volunteers. Volun-
teering for this service requires even a
nobler heroism than entering for for
lorn hope. Two nuns have succumbed to
the disease, and many have been ruined
in health. Every year medical officer
appointed by the Government inspects
the lazaretto, Of which Pere Ferdinand
Gauvreau is the respected almoner. All
that human skill can do is done to relieve
| the agony of the inmates. To stamp out
the plague is said to be impossible, at
