A Wife Who is a Halrmaet.

Letter to Springfield Republican !:
Gan illustration of what a man can
accomplish in spite of . adverse cir
cumstances affection, with loving,
willing wife to aid HIM, is found in
DIR. G. Germaine, of Westfield, Mas
sachusetts, for years one of our
most respected and successful ply
sicians. Three years since his eyes
began to fail, and gradually his
sight weakened until about a year
ago it was entirely lost. He had
no means of livelihood aside from
his profession, so as his sight grew
dim, his wife, who is a woman of
broad culture and refinement, &C
companied him on his visits to pa
tients to guide him. Gradually
accustoming herself to note the va
rious symptoms of the sick, and by
earnest study, she became fully
competent when her husbands sight
was wholiy gone to describe all the
outward symptoms OIL patients to
hin, so that he has not been obliged
TO give up practice, but can be
fonnd every day going his regular
rounds with his wife by his side.
His former patrons With but lew
exceptions, continue him as their
family physician, and his blindness
has not affected mis- skill and sue
cess in treating various forms of
disease, although, OF course, it pre-
vents him from practicing surgery.
Every one sympathizes with DR..
Germaine in his affection, and adj
mires his courage and his wife's no.
bic devotion and energy.

Touching Incidents

A singular and beautiful incident
happened in Jacksonville, Fla, not
long ago. The httle daughter of a
resident of that sity was III the hab
it of daily feeding nightingale,
which would come To the house
every morning to receive its food.
Not long ago the little girl slckened
and died. and as she lay IN the coffin
the nightingale few through an
open window into the room, sang
one of its most beautiful melodies,
and departed. An hour later it was
found in the front yard, having ev-
identity persisted from grief at the
loss OF it's young friend.- New
York Post.
A precisely similar iocident hap
pened in Chicago last winter. An
old man had been in the habit of
throwing fire-wood, boot-jacks, and
what furniture he could spare at an
old tom-cat that came around about
two o'clock every morning. One
day the old man died, and as he lay
in his coffin the cat came around
and uttered one OF the most uefant
melouies. a miGute later 1t was
found dead in tue back yard, hav-
ing evidently died OF grief at the
loss OF its head, which one of the
mourners Lad blown off with shot
gun. There can be no doubt that
history repeats ITSELF Chicago

A Heather Burial in New York.

A Heather Burial In New YORK.
The body of All Sing, one OF the
colony of Chinese laundrymen at
Belleville, n. j., was buried with pc
culiar ceremony last Monday. HIS
fellow countrymen had ordered a
hearse with particular instructions
that it be decorated with "chickee
felle" {chicken feather plumes.
The hearse is an innovation at Chi
nese funerals. As the body was
borne into the Chinese quarters,
show money, con sisting of pieces OF
brown paper, bearing chinese char
acters, was scattered. A tin pan
with burning incense was placed at
the head of the body in the hearse.
The grave had been dug deeper than
was considered proper, and it was
partly filed with earth again. II 8
hole at at the foot OF the grave an
earthen jar was put, and over this
were thrown candies and nuts
When the hole had been filed up, a
plate with meat and chicken was
placed over it. Near by were chop
sticks, bowl OF rice and bowl of
tea. The grave was partially sur
rounded by burning tapers. Tea
was poured over the grave, and the
mourners, prostrating themselves,
went away. The ceremony was
witnessed by a large number OF
people, New York World.

Turkish clemencz to Yermin.

A Turkish family often remove
from one set of apartments To an
other in order to escape the deas
and other vermin. The insects
take up their abode between the
badly -jointed planks and under the
rugs. They increase and multiply,
because the Turks are unwilling to
destroy animal life. A lady, famil-
lar with Turkish manners, tells the
following story OF the Turks elem
ency toward fleas:
was once visiting at the house
of Pasha lately arrived at Andri-
anople. The Hanoun, a charming
woman, was complaining bitterly to
me of her rest having been much
disturbed the previous night by the
abundance of these creatures in her
apartment.
One of the slaves modestly re-
marked that she had occupied her
self in scalding the floor of the
room her mistress had slept in, and
expressed a hope that she would
not be longer troubled in that re-
spect.
A general cutlery against the
.,.ss.> -s-si,S Ca humanity was farscu
by all the woman present, and a
chorus of "Yx=xEif Gss;stdiIhs 90 PITY
Sinh was heard.
Ii is curious that they raised no
such outcry when they heard of the
frightful destruction of human life
that took place a few years later
among their Christian neighbors in
Bulgaria, but a lew miles from their
own secure homes.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
Pattz.s Short Livad-Doll.

! 1t was Patty's fourth birthday,
and her oldest sister, Anna, gave
her a doll, not 8 new one, but Anna
was so old that she did not care for
dolls, and so gave Patty her last
one.
In those days a real doll was
quite a rare thing, and neither
Nell nor Patty had ever had any
| thing but rag ones so this real doll
was 9 treasure.
That afternoon a whole load of
company came to visit st the farm
house, among them was little Sal
lie Morton, about Patty's age. 1
grieve to say that she and Pattie
Quarreled over the doll the whole
afternoon.
They pulled off every one of it's
clothes, and while the older people
were all at tea, and the children
waiting for the second table, who
should bolt into the dining-room
and race around the table but those
two young rogues-Sallie ahead,
swinging the naked doll by one arm
and screaming, "You shan't have
itI' while Patty followed, scream
ing still louder, "Give rae my doll"
Two women got up very quickly
from that table. Mrs. Morton took
the doll from Sallie, and told her to
90 cut and be quiet, while Patty's
IN 1ther gave her the same order,
and taking the doll, shut it up in a
drawer.
When evening came Anna dressed
the doll nicely. and then Patty took
it IN her arms and sat down on the
floor in front of that pleasant old
fireplace, which she can never for
get, while Nell sat by her side tend
ing her rag doll.
don't you wish you had real
doll. Nell?" said Patty.
NO" replied Nell, stoutly. "My
rag doll is better than your new
one is, now"
"Oh, no"
Yes, it is. L can do lots of
things with her that you can't with
yours. See her stand on her
head
That's nothing. See mine,
too"
I'm not afraid to hold mine by
one arm, like this
"Nor l. See therer
81 can swing mine around.by one
leg, and she won't break"
"Nor mine won't"
swell, now, you don't dare TO do
this" And Nell bent her dolls
head over her knee.
Silly Patty! She couldn't take
dare. She would do as Nell did,
and the next thing-crack! and the
new dolls head was broken of.

Salt for Animals.

Many farmers are very stingy in
the matter of supplying animals
with salt. They seem to think that
the money invested in salt for ami
mails is virtually thrown away, and
they study how to avoid this loss
as far as possible. Occasionally
farmer will find that some sheep
will live six months without eating
salt, and he loses no time in making
his discovery known to the world.
A large proportion of farmers fur
nish salt to their animals but once
a week. On these occasions they
eat so much of it that they feel I'M
comfortable during the following
day. Stock of all kinds should
have salt constantly within their
reach, whether they are in the yard
or pasture. 1t is very easy to keep
a supply of salt in an open box in
shed where cattle can have free &C
cass to it. 1t requires but little in
genuity to erect a salt box in a pas
ture so that it's contents will not be
wasted. All that is required is a
hanging roof that can be removed
by the heads of cattle and sheep.
When cattle have supply always
within their reach they will never
eat so much at any time as to rel-
der them uncomfortable. Salt is
not luxury, but a necessity, and
it should be supplied without
stint. Animals know better than
their owners do how often they re-
quire salt. Any stock owner would
object to being allowed to taste salt
but once a week.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Good Words for the Skunk.

A fuller acquaintance with the
habits of the skunk would lead US
to consider 1t one of our most valu-
able friends. We make our first &C
quaintance with it, however, through
the sense of smell, or the death of
chickens and ducks, of which the
skunk is very fond. The intense
odor OF the skunk is very oppres-
sive, and it makes its presence
known in a way that is unique and
searching. While the fragrance OF
the skunk is sui gsneris and over
powering, it is not damaging as
that from sewers and sinks and
neglected potato bins and cabbage
pits. Judging the latter from odor
alone, they must be condemned
more surely than the odoriferous
skunk. We know the uses OF pota,
toes and cabbages, and think of
their good qualities. But not so
with the skunk. Let US see if we
cannot afford to endure them and
allow them an occasional chicken
or duck for change of diet. The
skunk Is pre-eminently an insectiv
orous animal. He diligently pur
sues his calling at night when III
sects are most abundant, and when
his enemies, dogs and men, are
asleep. He devours even the Colo
RADIO potato bug (decem lcnedta J, and
finds rich morsel in the strawber-
ry grub (Iachonestra). He makes
hearty meals on cut-worms, and
gOrges himself with white grubs,
the Larvae of the May beetle, which
he roots after in the loose sod, or
the decaJ ing hay or straw about
stack ards. He plows through the
litter and leaves gathered in the
hooks and corners of the fields,
which are the covers and breeding
places OF the myriads of clinch
bugs. He reaches millions of ene-
mics in secluded places which man
cannot reach with the pillow, rake or
fire. We may clear the litter and
trash from our fields, but the cor
ners and fence rows harbor the en-
envy we try to destroy. A Kind
providence has sent TO our aid this
half -domesticated animal that seems
to increase like the Norway rat in
populated districts, and for the
common reason that his food is
more abundant there. We wish we
could see some like compensation
in the presence of the rat, but sci
ence has not yet revealed 1t, and
civilization has not, like
Chinese, found use for it. The
skunk, unlike the rat pays as he goes.
We can afford to take care of the
chickens and ducks and let the
skuuks multiply. Build the walls
of our porches and dwellings so the
skunks Can not get under them,
and they will keep at such a dis
lance from our homes as not to Of
fend us. The old Greek motto,
Know thyself," is good one, and
It suggests good one for US, Gar
ner, know thy friends. y A Farm
,r, in Cincinnati Commercial.
