CALLING THE ANGELS IN.

We mean to do It, Some day, some day,
We mean 10 saoken this fevered rush
That 10 wearing our very souls away
And grant to our goaded hearts a hush
That Is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps Of angels drawing near.
We mean to do 1t. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden Of daytime droil is o'er,
Wen alt and muse, while the stars come out,
AS the patriarch sat at the open door
or his tent with heavenward gazing ego,
10 watch for the angels passing by.
We Ree them afar at high noopt:de,
When fiercely the worlds hot tiashngs boat
Yet never have bidden them turn aside,
And tarry awhile in converse sweet
N NSr prayed them to hallow tho cheer we spread
10 drink OF our wine and break our bread.
We promised our hearts that when the stress
or the life-work reaches the longed-for close
When the weight that we groan with hindert
less,
We'll loosen our thoughts to such ropose
AS banishes cares disturbing din,
Aud thon-we'll call the angels In.
The day that we dreamed OF comes at length
Whom red Of every me coking quest.
And broken in spirit and shorn Of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door Of rest,
And wait and watch as the day wanes on
But the angels We mean TO call are gone!

This is all about boy. Several days ago
an item appeared in the State Press to tic
effect that In Westport youth named
Jackson had been kidnapped. lie was last
seen talking on the road to two strange men
in buggy. Search was made for him, but
without avail. However,, he was not kid
mapped. Master Jackson lived with two
aunls i'll Westport, where he went to school,
Ills parents live in Philadelphia. When
school closed he was promised the vacation
with his parents, but for some reason the
promise was not fulfilled. SO Master Jack
son started off on his own hook. The fam
lily have friends in Washington. Knowing
Washington to he somewhere near Philadcl-
phia, and Congress having adjourned, he
determined to visit the Capital, and then
suddenly surprised the family in Philadcl-
phia. lie had no money, but he had an
iron bolt, safely secured in his pocket This
he was going to sell and with the proceeds
take tho cars for Washington. Fearing that
hc would create suspictgb, by attempting to
dispose of his property in Wcstport he
walked to NOrwalk, distance of four or
five miles. On reaching Norwalk he had
solved much better plan for raising funds
than disposIng of the bolt. lie would catch
fish and sell them: He might run short of
money where there was no fish to catch,
and then the bolt would come handy But
he had no tish-hook. lie had line, how
ever, and also Il bit of brass chain. In Nor
walk he met boy and succeeded in dis
posing of the chain to him for penny.
With the penny he bought-a hook, and at
tachcd 1t to the line, and went to the water.
lie had heard that flesh frozen was safely
carried to Europe, where it found good
market, but having no icc-chcst he con-
cludcd to just catch enough fish for tho
local market. lie tishcd three hours in the
broiling sun, and caught but one fish about
three inchco in length. This discouraged
him. 1t was getting toward night, and he
was very hungry. He went to the railway
station and loitcrcd about till night-fnll, de-
termined, under the cover of darkness, to Sc
cure ride on the cars. Twice he got seat
ed on the platform of a car but the noise of
OF starting made him SO nervous that he
jumped off. Late in the evening he asked
man to tell him the way to Westport. lie
was hungry and frightened, and unnamed
generally. The stranger took him in for
the night, and the next morning directed
him Oh the road home. Near noon he
reached point where he could look down
upon the beautiful village. 1t was lovely
scene. The bells were ringing, and the vii
layers were gathered in holiday costumes.
They had been out all night securing the
woods, and all the morning dragging the
Naugatuck river Now the bells were call
ing them to more thorough search. 1t
was beautiful sight To the boy with the
iron bolt in his pocket il must have been
very affecting indeed.

Heat and Light III tho Sick Room,

Each person in a room should be sup
piled with 5000 cubic feet of air per
hour; and this should be done, where
possible, without creating a percepti-
BILE draught, for the nervous irritation
induced by draughts is liable to pro-
duce Internal intlamations. The tenn
perature Of the sick room should be
kept at uniform height, the best
average being from sixty-five to seven
ty degrees Fahrenheit, except for in
fants or very old people, who require
temperature from seventy-fve to
eighty degrees Fahrenheit; and for
those it is especially important to guard
against changes, and keep it as uniform
as possible. All cases of fever require
temperature lower than the average,
as from fifty to sixty degrees Fahren-
heit, to assist in reducing the high tenn
perature of the body; but when the
fever subsidies, and there is much de-
bility remaining, the temperature
should be raised somewhat above the
average. AS patient can bear a
greater degree of cold when In bed than
when out of it, ,sssJR8yalescents from
severe disease, tevesH Ga ecially, should
have the temperature of their rooms
higher than that maintained during til G
height of the attack. Diseases of the
air passages, rs Group and diphtheria,
requirea high temperature (eighty to
eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit> and a
moist atmosphere. The best method
for heating the sick room is by The
open CRATE fire. The room should not
be darkened by blinds, except where
there Is disease Of the eyea, with photo
phobia, or when the patient Is very
restless and cannot sleep; then strong
light must be excluded. Otherwise
the sunlight must be allowed to enter
and act chemically by decomposing the
noxious gases, and thus purify the air.
OF course it Is not advisable to place
the patient under strong uncomfort-
able glare Of sunlight, nor In summer
to allow the SUMS rays to shine into the
room and raise the temperature too
high, Artificial light has no useful
effect, but does harm by burning up OK

That Fly-Papor.

Now is the season when the druggist
hangs dozen sheets Of sticky fly-papcr in
the windows to show the folly of Investing
in mosquito-bars. The said sheets are COW
cred with flies, dead and dying, sometimes
artistically arranged and sometimes dropped
on in reckless though captivating manner.
There is no sham about this paper. 1t will
catch any fly who takes n sheet of 1t for a
skating-park, and it will hold him long en-
ough for you to run to the wood-pilc and
bring the axe and knock him in the head.
The only trouble is to work up the fly. He
sometimes knows his business, and you can't
beat 1t into his noddc that sheet of this
paper represents cool and grassy valley in
to which he is privileged to mcander in
search OF Jumps of white sugar. He will
sit on the edge Of the window-sil and won
der and think, and kick out his legs in the
sunshine, and If you think he has got 80
hard up that he must come down to molas-
ses and pulp, you keep right on trying
Visions Of the thousands Of flies captured at
the drug store 'tsincc Monday noon'' will
rise up before you, but only to make you
more down-hcartcd. If you spread out ten
sheets OH the chairs and table and floor, you
run more chances of catching fly than
with one. Any arithmetic will tell you
this. 1t may be an hour or two before some
reckless old reprobatc of fly will start out
to see what you have been doing. Back III
a corner and don't breathe while nc is max
ing for the table. He may light down.
Flies have their tired moments the same rs
thrcc-year old steers. Hc will slide to the
cast-then north by east-then southeast
then wheel to the west and l)ok around to
see if anybody has broom trained on him.
Give HIM time. If the molasses IS up to
his grade you will catch him sooner or
later. When he finally slides up to
the paper you can bet you've got
him. Taking hold of the table with his
legs he will reach his head out, nibbc a
little, smack his lips, and then make dive
for the centre CT the sheets, calculating to
fly off with 1t to the knot-hole in the ceiling.
If you have tackled the sheet down you've
got fly. If you haven't away goes cont.
You may catch second fly before the s,lm-
mer is gone, but If you are impatient and
want to make show you must order your
dead flies by the box from New York,
spread out your paper in quiet place, and
put 'eml on with the machine used by all re-
spectacle druggists.

Deceptive Distances on the Plains.

A story Is told of two Englishmen who
started from Denver, COL, for a walk to
the mountains before breakfact, an appar-
emily easy task, as the mountains did not
appear more than a mile or two away. AZ
ter walking for an hour without seeming to
have made any progress toward the desired
goal, one Of them became discouraged and
concluded to return for his breakfast; af-
terward he took carriage and went in
search Of his friend, whom ho found on the
bank Of a small ditch. His friend inquired
what he intended to do. He replied, to
wade tho ditch. His friend said there was
no necessity for that, as 1t was less than
three feet across, and he could easily jump
1t. "You can't tell anything about 1t In
this country" responded the othor; s1t
may be three hundred feet across for augbt
/ know" His morning walk proved to
extend about fifteen miles before he
reached the foothills. q }t SI

A Desperate Situation.

Two Young French half-breeds, one
named Pierre Lavcrdurc, and another
whose name was not ascertaincd, were out
on hunting and trapping expedition in the
vicinity of Milk river during March last,
One night, while camped little to tho
south of the boundary line, they were
aroused by the apparent bowling of tho
wolves In CLOSE proximity to their tent.
Being pretty well used to such music, they
did not pay any particular attention to it.,
until popularity in the sound gave them
the impression that the noise proceeded
from Indians instead of wolves. They
started up and ran outside the tent and
were Immediately met by fusilade from
different points. Lavcrdurc was struck by
two shots, one passing through the upper
part of both thighs, and one through both
legs, fortunately without breaking any
bones. He dropped, and called out to the
Sioux that they were half-breeds and not
Indians. The Sioux replied that they knew
very well what they were, and were going
to kill them. Laverdures comrade mean
while had made arlsh and got away, and
the wounded man was left by himself with
| q gang of redskins around HIN. However,
he determined to sell his life to the best ad-
vantage, and reaching for his sixteen
shooter, he crawlcd to Whole In the Ground
and awaited events, and rs an Indian made
his appearance he shot him. The Sioux,
finding 1t too hot for them, decamped, and
the poor fellow lay till the following day,
when his comrade returned with assistance

1t is mere matter of counting, and the result
is that there are nearly million more female

that the balance which originally lay on the

Mrs. Emma j. Parsons was caught stealing
in Rochester dry goods store. She was
wealthy. The Justice before whom she was
taken was asked to promise that, if she would
plead guilty, he would not infliet any punish
ment; but be refused to make any pledge, aud
the case was tried before jury Mrs. Parsons
was defended ss a kleptomauiac. Her brother
swore that her strongest characteristic was
cupdity, although he would not admit that
she had ever before stolen anything. The
lawyers argument to the jury that Mrs.
Parsons, beingleo rich that she had no need to
steal, and SO respectable that orime was abhor-
rent to her, could not have intended to do
wrong, and must have been actuated by
mania that made her morally irresponsible.
The jury's verdict was: 1--WE acquit the pris-
oner Of any intention to steal" This case
should not embolden ealthy women to indulge
in shoplfting. for few jures could be depend
ed on to follow the Rochester example; and as
for poor women, the plea of fkleptomanis would
be of no avail for them.
