A TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.

Seventeen Little Children SnfFocated in
Catholic OrphanlAsylum at Scranton, Pa.
The Sisters of Charity at their orphan asy-
lum in Scranton, Pa, cared for some 40 chill
dren, from six to twelve years old Last Sun
day night q sister took them to their rooms and
and locked the doors Descending, she saw
smoke issuing from a room in the second story.
Opening the door she was driven back by a
cloud Of smoke. The sister darted up stairs
and found the girls room full of smoke. She
ran to the lower floor, and started back to get
the boys. The smoke was pouring into the hall
in binding clouds, and when about half way up
stairs the sister met stranger. She made an
effort to pass, but he refused to allow her, say
ing the boys had been rescued, and it would be
dangerous for her to go for them She rel,ic-
family went back. The alarm brought four fire
companies. The flames were raging fercely
when the firemen went to work. They were in
formed of the belief that,some of the children
we're still in the building, and made an effort
to reach the upper floor In a short time the
flames were beaten and the door of the dormi-
tory burst open. The victims of the fire were
found beneath the cots Only two were touched
by fire, but all had evidently been dead some.

One Reason Why Young Children Die. and
Kittens Live to be Cats

The following extract is from a physi-
clans letter published in the Boston Jour-
nal of Commerce:
II believe with you that untold harm is
done by offering anything but breastmilk,
or cows milk properly prepared, if the babe
is hand fed, until he has q mouthful of
teeth. Milk is the food of babes, and if
the mother is healthy and lives on the right
food her milk will have teeth enough in it,
and they will appear in the light time; if
she doesn't let the baby guzzle until he is
deceased with fatty degeneration. Most
infants do become thus diseased before
they are three months old. This stops the
growth and leaves the poor, deceived par
ents nothing but increase in weight to boast
of; and when the poor little victim. to his
own greed and its parents folly gets to the
end of it's tether, he melts away like butter
in hot oven, and then it is seen how poor
Tin flesh) he has been all the time, Few COM
prehend the broad difference between flesh
and fat. The first is lean meat-muscle-the
result of growth, where fat don't care
how hard and solid it may be-is the pro-
duct Of unexcretial excess. This is why no
one bets dollar on fat horse or a fat
man-they are soft and cant stay It is
every whit as true of fat baby. The only
wonder is that any infant lives sixty days
from birth. Fed before birth but three
times day he is after birth subjected to
ten or twenty meals in the twenty-four
hours. Before birth he grows at the rate
of about ten pounds per year. After birth
he is permitted to fat at the rate of fifty
pounds per year until chronic dyspepsia or
some acute disease interferes. Feel of q
kitten, calf, colt, or a young robin-they are,
and remain while growing, but little more
than skin and bones, and fur or feathers,
because unable to get enough to fatten
them, and they never die, rarely have any
sort of disease. Children are never fairly
out of the woods until they reach the lean
age, and have pipe-stem legs and arms,
with no rolls of fatty tissue anywhere about
them. Could they be kept SO from birth,
and not permitted to over indulge, so their
appetites would always be reliable for plain
food, they would have no infantile diseases
to enrich our pockets"

Good and Bad Sayings About Women.


Good and Bad Sayings About Women.

Spurgeon: A man cannot prosper till he
gets his wife's leave. A thrifty house wife
is better than a great income. A good wife
and health is mans best wealth. -
1t is said that the girls are divided as to
the desirability of the present short ball
dress. The line seems to be at "2's.

Balzac: A woman at middle age retains
nothing of the pettiness of youth; she is a
friend who gives you all the feminine deli
cacies, who show all the graces, all the pre-
possessions which Nature has given to
women to please man. She is hateful or
lovable, according to her pretentions to
youth.
Arthur Helps: In many things women are

The British War in South Africa.

The war with the Beers is legacy of the
Disraeli administration. Ip 1852 Great
Britain recognized the independence of the
Transvaal Republic, while in 1877 Sir T.
Shepstone, Governor of Natal, without
shadow of pretense proclaimed that the re-
public had ceased to exist, and this impu-
dent assumption was confirmed by the home
government The sense of the injustice of
their cause has been manifested by the
British authorities in sending word to the
l! Beers that if they will lay down their arms
they will endeavor to prepare satisfactory
government for them. The offer came too
late, and is absurd under the present crisis,
if it would not have been so few months
earlier.

Great Loss of Cattle on the Plains.


The severe winter has been disastrous to the
cattle interests from the Rio Grande to the
British possessions. While all estimates areal
mere speculadens and guess work, intelligence
from accessible regions indicate great probable
loss, and the gravest fears are entertained that
the thickly populated pasture lands Of Montana,
by the time spring opens. William Parton of
Omaha, who has Il, 900 head of cattle on the
North Platte, expects to lose from 800, 600 to
$4,000 by the storm and cold, or about half
of his entire herd, J, McShone of the same
place has 10000 head about 100 miles west
ward, and expects to lose from 20 to 80 per
cent, though he thinks possibly the cattle may
have drifted into the foot hills, where, in q
measure, they will be protected from the wind.
1t is confidently believed that cattle west Of Sid
ney and north of Cheyenne have not suffered
greatly, though experienced ranchmen would
not be surprised to Learn that the death rate
reaches 80 per cent on the exposed ranches of
the North Platte.
