Young women who are contemplating
elopement-and undoubtedly there are
great number OF them should reflect
a little upon the troubles which came to
a New York girl who adopted this
romantic way of getting married. She
got desperately in love with beautiful
mustRche and handsome diamond
pin with a young man attachment, and
made arrangements TO marry him. As
her father, however, did not fall in love
with the beautiful things that had fas-
cinated her, she was compelled to elope.
That was five or six months ago. The
mustache and the diamond pin are just
as handsome as they ever were, but the
young man attachment has since aban-
doned the young woman and caned her
father in most outrageous way. She
is satisfied that another time she will
try less romantic way of getting mar
ried.

that each animal has a stall to itself.
The space is SO economical that the

By mechanical contrivance. which is

cattle can be fed and watered in their

The use OF the electric light on ocean
steamers is one of the most valuable to
which the new method of illumination
can be put; and the public will be glad
to know that the experiment, as tried
on the City of Richmond on her last
voyage from Queenstown to New York,
was q perfect success. It was not alone
in replacing the dim oil lamps in the
main saloon that the electric light
proved valuable and useful, but in fur
nishing illumination for dark and com
paratiyely inaccessible places, whore it
is dangerous to carry an open lamp, and
where very little can be seen with any
of the ordinary styles Of open lamp.
The Detroit Free Press believes the
lake steamers will have to follow in the
wake of the ocean steamers, and when
all these and the railway tunnels--per-
haps the cars as welfare fully illu-
minated the travelling public will begin
to realize how great blessing the
electric light is.

Tho special correspondent of the
London Times thinks that the number
OF persons killed by the Scio earth
quake does not greatly, if at all, ex-
ceed 1000, and that this is possibly
too large. In the southern half of the
island scarcely house remains in a
habitable condition, so that a popula-
ton OF nearly 10000 persons is camping
out in the open air. Throughout the
northern portion of the island the re-
peated shocks wrenched the houses and
frightened the inmates without doing
them any serious bodily harm, except
in very few instances.

Conveying Scarlet Fever.

The following facts, reported by the
Hartford COWdnt eyhibit the red
flag Of danger TO all who would guard
against scarlet fever: A Mrs. Avery, a
daughter of Frank Gallup, of Poqnon-
noe, died at Cincinnati with scarlet
fever Of the most malignant type, A
trunk containing her wearing apparel
was sent home, and the clothing dis
tributod among relatives. Some of the
dresses were altered by dressmaker of
the village, and one of her customers
contracted the disease by visiting the
house on business, and among the first
victims Of the fever were members Of
the Gallup family.
The people, like those of most small
communities, are social and friendly,
and funerals have been attended by
neigEborS and friends, and articles Of
clothing loaned and borrowed, thus
further disseminating the contagion.
One afflicted mother, wild with grief at
the loss Of children, has taken the re-
mainder Of her family to visit friends
at Essex, Conn, not thinking of the
danger to which she exposed those who
are willing to receive her.
