removed large glass marble from the
throat of the little O'Leary girl, who had
died the night before. The little girl,
who was eleven years of age, swallowed
the marble some time laet May, and
since then has been slowly starving to
death. The marble stopped in the esoph-
agus, about half way between the
mouth and the stomach. The throat was
not inflamed, but the stomach was in bad
condition, and the peritoneum in high
state Of inflammation. The case Is pecu.
liar one, and quite lnexplicable. The
| marble had long maintained 4 position
in part Of the throat where it would be
least likely to lodge. The size of the
marble would appear to render the act of
swallowing absolutely impossible; and
yet, at times, food, both fluid and solid,
were swallowed with no trouble or
Inconvenience. DR.. Mcdonald did
all that was possible to save the little

Three or four years ago when there was
a grip on the potato market there lived
near an interior village in this state farm
or named Peters. He raised good crops,
paid his debts, and was down on rings of
all sort. The price of potatoes kept going
up and Up, and the old farmer grew un-
easy. He came into the village every
evening 10 see how the market stood, and
although he never said much it was evi-
dent that he would burst his hoops pretty
soon if things continued on that way. At
length the climax came. One evening the
old man and his son had warm corner In
a grocery when citizen entered with a
newspaper in his hand and said:
''1his New York daily says that the
prlce of potatoes is certain to advance
again before the week is out.
"That !" exclaimed Peters, "another
advance in 'taters?'
"Yes, the Lord only knows what Is to
become of the poor if this potato ring isn't
bursted."
The farmer arose, buttoned his old white
overcoat clear 10 his chin, brough his fist
down hard ON the cheese-box, and sternly
said:
1.-THE time has comel I've stood il
and stood 1t, as long as can, and now
I'm going to actl George, we'll go home
and get ready to throw fifty SIX bushels OF
peach-blows on the market tomorrow, and

Winnemuc The Apache.

In the Min1ehaha, Santa Fe, place
devoted to faro, rouge ct noir and the sale
OF various liquors in the city, there hangs a
bow and arrow, and beneath it is a placard
announcing that it was a trophy taken
from the body of Winnemuc, the Apache
chief, by James Morris, in 1873, at Alamosa
Canyon, for which the SAID James Morris
received medal and a vote of thanks from
Congress. Winnemuc was one of the most
desperate of the old time raiders. He was
war chief among the Apaches when Vic
toria was only a sub-chief. He is credited
with having killed thirteen white men with
his own hands, and innumerable Mexicans,
and this, too, at time when the Apaches
were more familiar with bows and arrows
than with improved Winchesters.
IsolsIed settlements lonely teamsters
and herders shuddered at the mention OF
his name. 1t meant an ever present and
terrible danger to them. He had the
Apache habit Of slipping of the reserva-
ton with fourteen or fifteen braves, max.
ing q rapid dash through the country,
burning, stealing and killing and then re-
turning to the protecting care Of benign
government before sufficient preparations
could be made to pursue and punish him.

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who have crossed to the further
side;
The gIesm of their sunny robes / see.
But their voices are lost in the rushing tide,
None return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatmsn cold and pale
We hear dip Of the oar.
And reach gleam Of the sail.
And 10. they have passed from our yearnine
hearts;
They cross the stream and are gone for aye
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of day.
We only know their barks no more
Sail with us DER life's troubled sea
Yet somewhere L know ON the unseen shore
They watch and beckon and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold,
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand BY the waters cold
And list for a sound of the boatmans oar,
1 shall watch for gleam Of the sunny sal,
| shall hear the boat as it nesrs the strand,
| shall pass from 81 ght with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land.
| shall know the loved who have gone before
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river
The angel Of death shall carry me.

A Mangied wreck.

On the Bay City train Michigan, the
other day was a woman with baby abDut
eight months old. and in the next seat back
was an old man who couldn't sit still until
he had said
''That's baby you have there, isn't II p
'Yes, SIR"
"About a year old, isn't he p

cid yeti"
.'Isn't, ehl Well, Pm the father of nine
children, but it's been so long since I've
seen baby that I've forgotten how they
ought to look. Is he girl 2"
'.No, sir; he's boy
'Just me, agin. 1 never can tell one
from fother. Is he purity healthy3"
''Oh, yes"
''Squail much nights?"
"Never squalls at all
''Dont, eh q That's the kind of young
'un l like to see around. My Samuel did
nothing but howl for the first two years,
Sarah was allus sick. Moses fell out of the
cradle and broke his arm, and something or

'.No, SIR"

''Yes, sIr."
"'Sposen you call him arter met My

'rl do it," promptly replied the wo-
man.
"That's business. Here's the cash and
tine boy Is named jefferson, arter me.
Lemme kiss him about four times.
The baby was duly kissed and congratu-
lated, and at the next station he left the
train with his mother. The old man was
tickled half to deatL over the matter until
the conductor came along and asked:
"Did you pay her anything to name that
baby after youi"
''Yes-twenty dollars. He's clipper,
and don't you forget it,"
''And so is his mother. She's down in
the Detroit House of Correction, and the

two dollars a week !"
'N-o,al"

The old mans jaws fell, his eyes re-
manned fixed on the ceiling for minute,
and then he fell back in his seat with the
exclamation:
''Chaw me! Everybody has called me
fool for the past twenty years, and now
know they were right Conductor"
b ''Yes."

my neck, and step on me a thousand times

Dancing In a Cathedral.

Among the early Christians, as also the
Pagans, dancing Is constituted a part of
the religious ceremonies; and did not David
dance before the ArB, and the daughters of
Shiloh come out to dance in dancesl The
practice of dancing in churches was looked
upon with favor in France until the Twelfth
century and in SPAN, in this very nine
teenth century, it forms part Of the Easter
Sunday ceremonies at the Cathedral in Sc
vile. Lady louisa Tension, travelling
in these parts, speaks of them as being most
singular and quite peculiar to Seville. The
principal actors are boys, who are placed
in the open space in front of the altar, five
standing on each side opposite each other.
They begin slow movement, singing
hymns and keeping time with their casta-
nets. A dignitary, ,disapproving of the Gus
tom. tried to stop them; but this so en-
ragged the authorities that they suddenly
shipped off the boys to Rome, so that the
Pope might judge for himself. His holl.
ness saw nothing against it, and continued
the privilege, allowing them to dance with
Their heads covered, before the sacrament
and this is done to this day.

Flower Garden and Lawn.

The planning for the planting of orna-
mental trees should have been done before
the time for setting them. Evergreens
may be left until later, and will need more
care; their roots should never be allowed
to become dry. The lawn will need a
dressing of some kind; ashes, guano, or
some other fertilizer may be applied; use
manure only when 1t is fine and thoroughly
rotted, with no weed seeds alive in it. For
new lawns upon a heavy soil, SOW Ken
lucky blue grass; on light sandy soil, red
top, with white clover is best (; all the way
from three to six bushels to the acre are
advised. Sow half the seed in one direction
and cross-sow with the other half. This
work should be done as soon as the land has
been put in proper condition. Where sod.
ding is to be done, first thoroughly enrich
the soil, make the surface even. and tC
press the Gods down firmly use board arc
heavy FOUNDER. If the walks and drives
need repairs, attend to them when tht
ground is more settled. Beds of bulbs may
be uncovered as soon as the frosty night
are over. If beds of flowers are to b
planted the designs should be made, ant
their location in the grounds and other de
cided upon beforehand.

Easter Pilgrims 1t tho Jordan.

The earliest scene of the immersion was
in the Jordan. That rushing river, the
one river of Palestine, fonnd at last its Mt
purpose. Although no details are given of
the external parts of the ceremony, lively
notion may be formed of the transaction
by the scene which now takes place at the
bathing of the pilgrims at Easter. Their
approach to the spot is by night. Above
IS the bright Paschal moon, before them
moves bright flare of torches, on each
side huge watchfires break the darkness Of
the ulght and act as Deacons for the sue
cessive descents of the road. The sun
breaks over the eastern bills as the head of
the cavaicade reaches the banks of the
Jordan. The sacred river rushes through
its thicket of tamarisk, poplar, willow and
agnus -castors with rapid eddies, and of a
turbid, yellow color, like the Tiber at
Rome, and, about as broad. They dismount,
and set TO work TO perform their bath ;
most In the open space, some further up
amongst the thickets; some plunging in
naked; most, however, with white dresses,
which they bring with them, and which,
having been so used, are kept for their
winding sheets Most of the bathers keep
within the shelter of the bank, where the
water is about four feet in depth, though
with a bottom of very deep mud. The
Coptio pilgrims are curiously distinguished
from the rest by the holiness with which
they dart into the main current, striking
the water after their fashion alternately
with their two arms and playing with the
eddies, which hurry them down and across
as if they were In the cataracts OF their
own Nile; crashing through the thick
bcughs of the jungle which on the eastern
bank of the stream intercept their progress,
and recrossing the river higher up, where
they can wade, assisted by long poles which
they have cut from the opposite thickets.
1t Is remarkable. considering the mixed
assemblage of men and women In such
scene, that there is so little appearance OF
levity or lndecorum. A primitive domestic
character pervades in singular form the
whole transaction. The families who have
come on their single mule or camel now
bathe together with the utmost gravity,
the father receiving from the mother the
infant, which has been brought to receive
tie one immersion which will suffice for
the rest of its life, and thus, by Curious
economy of resources, save it from the ex-
pense and danger of a future pilgrimage in
after years. In about two hours the shores
are cleared; with the same quiet they re-
mount their canels and horses, and, before
the noon day heat has set in, are again en-
camped on the upper rlain OF jericho.
Once more they may be seen at the dead
of night the drum again wakes them for
their Lomeward march. The torches again
go on before; behind follows the vast
multitude, mounted, passing in profound
silence over that silent PLAIN; so silent that
but for the tinkling of the drum, Its depart
ure would hardly be perceptible.
