Killed by a Fly's Bite.

Frank II. Swartz, of West Kansas,
died of disease which excited consid
erable interest among the members OF
the medical profession, both on account
of its fatality and its rarity. On q
recent Wednesday the young man was
bitten by some sort of carrion fly on
the left corner of the mouth. His
blood was poisoned, and a disease
known rs "charbon ensued. The
theory CT the case is that the fly had
been sucking the juices of some diseased
animal or carrion, and inoculated him
with the poison. His face and head
swelled to an enormous size, and his
face became discolored-black and pur.
pie. On Thursday night he became in
sensible, and on the following night he
died. Soon after the swelling began
the affected part became apparently
dead. The disease is almost certain
death, but is very rare. The physician
who treated the case had experience
with two similar cases in the East, but
be has heard of none in West Kansas
before.

The Origin of Gift Giving.

Christmas gifts, says an exchange,
had their origin in the Roman Paganalia,
which was instituted by Ser 9ius Tullius,
B. C. $50. On these festivals, celebrated
at the beginning of the year, an altar
was erected in every village, and to the
box placed upon it every man, woman
and child was expected to contribute
coin. Aubrey speaks of pot in which
Roman coins were found, and supposed
to be one of these Paganalian vessels.
The Christmas box naturally arose from
this pagan New Years box. There is
an impressive propriety and tender
beauty, however, in thus commemorat-
ing the event which gave Divine Re-
deemer to lost world-the greatest gift
that is conceivable to mankind. It is,
moreover, an equally appropriate Gus
tom which makes the season one, not
only of composing and forgetting old
quarrels, and renewing and confirming
friendships, but for a universal manifes-
tation of generosity and charity from
the rich to the poor-in olden times this
benefcence being extended even to the
lower animals, practice to which
Burns alludes in "The Aud Farmers
! Address 10 his MarR

The First Swiss Matchmaker.

day there was great distress, tor 'ne

himself to take the little machine to

It to life. and thenceforward was possess

Christmas Presents.


"What shall We give ?" I hear them ask,
As though selection were task.
For one, no gift is good to me
Unle-s the giver gives it free.
Agift is like by each and all,
Whate'er its value. great or small.
1t seems link, a token true,
That some there are who think Of you.
The Christmas gift means love or friend;
II not, then let such giving end.
The Chr:stmas-time, OF all the year.
Is lonely it no friend is nesr;
To rise at morn and not to hear
The Merry Christmas '" greet your ear;
To find no gift, DO call to dine,
No token that q friend is thine
This, this is loneliness indeed.
And pride has work to vail such need.
Zen wealth Itself is hard to bear
If loving friend may lever share.
Some think that splendor, worlds to eat,
The round Of human JOY complete;
Then paupers may Le rich indeed,
Who feel they have no further need.
What best to give? All things above,
Give faith ard friendship-human love;
But il. from ont your bounteous store,
You feel like giving something more,
Then give such gifts as you can spare
Such gifts as friend with friend may share;
Or else give what yo''' friend may lack,
Be it silken gown Oh sealskin sack,
A cap, gun, or pair Of gloves,
Some autumn leaves, or candy-doves,
A set Of china, sandal-fan,
A carriage, harness, mated span,
While pictures, books, are always right,
And "weeklies, "" monthlies, give delight
Bring gladness every month and week;
For better gifts no further seek.
Remember this, when gift is made,
Its no wap, or change or trade;
But something saved in frie ndships bank.
With interest-love; and payday llank.

While engaged in overhauling a pas
senger car at the shops of the Grand
Haven and Milwaukee railroad in De.
troit, Mich, the foreman of the shop
discovered two letters which had evi-
dently been mislaid by the owner and
had found their way under the lining of
one of the seats. The directions on the
envelopes were illegible, but the letters
themselves were we'll preserved. One
was written by father to his son, and
the other appeared to be an order for
pork from Grand Rapids (Mich.) man.
The letters were dated 1857 and had
probably been lying beneath the lining
! Of the seat for many years.

A Delayed Feast.
His coat was old and rusty,
His hat was shocking bad:

His boots were full Of weary rents,
. His step was slow and sad.
After Bijah had told him to make him
self at home, and after he had left a
pound of mud on the new oak and green
carpet, he began:
II didn't have thing to eat all day
yesterday, while everybody else had
turkey, chicken and goose"
"Do you toll or spin-have you a
home and habitation ?" queried the
ianitor.
"I'm looking for place in a bank,
and I'm half starved" answered the
man.
"Well, you ought to have had din
ner," observed Biiah, as he unlocked
the cupboard. "Here is part of my
feast, and 1 shall cheerfully set it before
you."
He placed before the man e plate of
cold turnip and slice of breakfast
bacon we'll done, and told him to draw
right up and satisfy his hunger.
"Do you take me for lank-s sided
hyena ?" Indignantly demanded the man
as he waved the lu1uries away. "l'm
hard up fer cash and my clothes are old,
but when come down to billed turnlp
and lean pork, I want to be considered
a jackal |"
"Isn't what I eat good enough tor
you" shouted Bijah, as his ears red
dened up.
For answer the man reached out his
black paw and brought it down "slap" "
on the little mound of turnip, causing
the provisions to Jump clear off the
plate. What followed no human being
will ever know. The next scene opened
with the man licking the plate in the
humblest manner, having previously
bolted down both turnip and bacon.
"I'm a good mind to make you eat
that India-rubber cat !" growled Bijah,
as he put up the plate.
"Don't sir-please let me git out OF
this ?" stammered the terror-stricken
man.
"The idea of you finding fault with
such dinner as that Why, you'd
growl about mince pie, unless both
crusts were sweetened with white sugar
worth 'leven cents pound When
had you doubled up under the table
there, was q good mind to break your
neck |"
"I am glad you didn't" sighed the
fellow; and there being no reason fo1
longer OBTAINING him he was allowed te
depart. Free Press.

mother and four children. They have
made their way to East Tennessee, where
they propose to settle. They have come

the United States their permanent home,
and they have chosen East Tennessee
because the climate is much like that tc
which they have been accustomed.
