are inferred at 1unis, North Africa. Arrange

thropist, to have these sacred relics of the
author of "Houe, Sweet Home,' exhumed
and transported to the United States for re-
interment in Oak Hill cemetery, in Wash

Payne,
Whose weary soul oft sighed for rest in
vain,
Ger life's wide desert forced afar to rodm,
Versed in Affairs and men, no learned tome
He filled, the applause of the intellect to
gain,
But, for the heart, he sang one deatbless
strain
Homeless himself, the song of Home, Sweet
Home"
Serving his country on a foreign shore,
Death took him by the hand, and, whisper

"Home ~ and rejoicing, forth with him he
went.

more,
A home in your loved City of the Dead,
And carve his lyric on his monument.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Man, the goat and the wild carni rora
are the only animals capable of re-
sisting the t1etse fly of Africa.
A Belgian scientist concludes that
the seat Of the electricity of storms is
not, as generally admitted, in the moist
region of the atmosphere, but in the
cold and dry superstratum.
A German paper, speaking Of bread
making, says Fungold germs may
be introduced with bad flour into the
bread, which will not be destroyed by
the baking temperature of the inside
of the loaf (212 degrees +. J. In the year
1S40 an orange-colored fungus was
often observed in France in the bread,
and indeed often in such quantities
that red, evi'-smelling dust particles
would Issue when the bread was
broken"
Experimentslmade by j. Aitken con-
firm the usual notion that pure water
has blue tint; but he finds that the
theory of selective reflection is INSULT
cient to account for all the variations
as to tint met with in the case of nat
ural accumulations of water. Whitish
particles are suspended in the water of
the Mediterranean and the tint varies
from deep blue to chalky blue-green,
according to the proportion in which
these particles may be present.

may sometimes protect a building.
M. Hirn tells of such a case which
lately occurred at Colmar. A thin iron
rod, about twenty-six feet long, had a
conical brass point screwed on the
top, and was connected below by
means of a series of pieces of thin
wire, having terminal eyes, with a
block of iron about twenty inches
long in the ground. During violent
thunderstorm lightning melted the
brass point, but the current seems to
have nowhere left the conductor.
M. Him insists that the mere fact
Of lightning discharge on the point
of conductor is proof of very imper-
feet construction, as, during more than
forty years of observation, he has never
seen lightning strike one of the forty
or fifty lightning rods of the factories
of Logelbach, although he has found
that currents are almost constantly
passing through the rods in the pres
ence of thunder-stooms.

sudden cheerfulness seemed fading

away.
And so you did," she cried, inn
pulsively, clasping his thin hand, "and
shat horrid Major Wynne stole them
out, and then lied about it. They
found the books and part of the stamps
hidden in his house this forenoon, :"
and she went on rather incoherently
to tell him of her part in the plot to
capture the thief, Mrs. Gray leaving
the room.
When Kitty had finished she was all
of tremble, for strange look had
come over the piRehed face before her.
Allan Gray rose to his feet, gifted
with sudden strength, and looked
manfully into the black eyes which
suddenly dropped.
"Kitty," he demanded, "why did
you take such an active part in this
matter?"
Their eyes met. The black eyes and
the blue eyes asked and answered
questions with lightning-like rapidity.
81 could not see you die,' whis-
pered the owner of the black eyes, and
he of the blue answered, softly: "Y ou
have saved my life and you must
watch over it," which subsequent
events proved that she was willing
to do.
Allan Gray received the postmaster
ship and declared that the reason the
major dismissed Kitty-now Mrs.
Gray-was to be rid of her sharp eyes
so that he might the better enjoy the
"spoils Of office. ."-Sprtnafeld Repttb-

A Wonderful Cave.

A wonderful cave has been found
near Sawtotho, Idaho Territory. One
chamber which was explored is said to
contain the image of a man made of
what had the appearance of silver. At
the head was a helmet of a peculiar
pattern, in which were three imitation
feathers made of gold or copper. From
the mouth of the strange image pro-
ceeded flame. A theory is that the
prehistoric race that erected it had dis
covered a gas-jet and that there is
communication down through the
body to the solid rock, from which the
gas proceeds perpetually. On the walls
were hieroglyphics, which, of course.
could not be read. In one corner was
very large human skeleton, at least
nine feet high, and by it stone toma-
hawk and a large cross-bow, which.
although it had the appearance of be-
ing perfectly sound, fell into thousand
pieces when an attempt was made to
lift it. A stone mortar containing
some very rich gold specimens was
found, and also some large pieces of
ruby silver.

HEALTH HINTS.

To relieve toothache apply to the
troublesome tooth tiny piece of cot
ton saturated with ammonia.
Live out of doors, well clothed, so as
to keep warm. Out-of-door life is es-
sential to health, and partic 1larly to its
recovery.
The laws of development demand
that in infancy and childhood the
bones be fed, in youth the muscles, and
in adult age the nerves, bones and
muscles all need feeding.
1t is stated in DR.. Foote's Health
Monthly that tight lacing predisposes
to red noses by interfering with the
free circulation of the blood and caus-
ing congestion of the capillaries of the
skin.
In an article in the australian
Medical Journal, it is observed that
the tomato is most useful plant. 1t
has been found to be effectual in many
diseases, especially as a preventive of
typhoid fever.
There are times in the lives of chill.
dren when colds are taken, no one
knows how, and when toothache is al
most unbearable, and yet it is not
advisable to have the tooth extracted
One means of relief at such time is
to cut large raisin open, roast it, or
heat it, and apply it around the tooth
while it is as hot as can be borne it
will operate like a little poultice, and
will draw out the Inflammation. To
wet flannel cloth with strong vinegar
and then put a hot iron under it, and
SO to steam the face, will aid in reduc-
ing Inflammation.

Through the Snow.


For what should watch when the snow lies
white
On the top of the distant hill2
For what should 1 listen when all is husb'd
And when even the brook is still?
iwait for know that my love will come.
On some errand of mercy bent,
And my lady's face will be glad and bright
With the charm of sweet content
So wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
For step that setteth my heart aglow,
For voice whose music too we'll I know,
As my lady comes through the snow.
j know she will come, for the snow is hard
When it lies at the poor mans door,
And therefore my love with her gentle heart
Thinks the itch should befriend the poor;
30 not vainly shall for her coming wait,
And perchance it may even be
My lady shall learn from to-day to own
That her pity should reach to me.
So 1 wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
For step that setteth my heart aglow,
For voice whose music too we'll l know,
Asmy lady comes through the snow.
And then when she comes through the crisp
white snow,
Will she meet me with glad surprise2
Ah then, shall l read what my heart would
know
In the CLEAN of her sweet blue eyes ?
know she will give me at least a smile,
And my heart in its light shall glow,
For love, in its warmth, can defy the cold,
And can laugh though the north wind blow.
So wait for the crackle of frozen snow,
FJr a step that setteth my heart aglow,
For voice whose music too well know,
AS my lady comes thr ough the snow.

a story is told of an Englishman
who was lately obliged to travel in Ire
land-a duty he approached with fear
and trembling. His affrighted senses
were startled on hearing fellow pas
senger in the railway carriage remark
to another, I'm just afther bein' over

other, cam afther bein over to Kill

thought the Englishman. "And to
think that they talk of their assassina-
tions so publicly" But the conversa-
tion went on: "And fhare are you goin'
now?" asked assassin No. l. ."I'm goin'
home and then to Kilmore," was No.

curdled. "Kilmore, is it," added No.

the Englishman left the train at the

Nilsson on Oscar Wilde.

Nine. Nilsson, the singer, was inter-
viewed in Chicago, and took occasion
to give pretty plain opinion Of Oscar
Wilde after this fashion
He ought to have been taken by the
ear and taken to the boat and driven
out of this country. What right has
he to come here and say that every
thing American is all wrong? / think
that your people are too good
natured or they never would stand it.
/ know l shouldn't put up with his
nonsense. You know in Europe he
doesn't appear clad as he does here.
That wouldn't be tolerated there. The
ladies are taken by that lock of his on
his forehead. The idea of a sunfower
being pretty! 1t reminds me with it's
yellow color of paleness and sick
ness. L like the lilies there
is nothing more perfect than
the lily-of-the-valley. But that sun

means of accumulating a mass of
worthless rubbish in lots of houses.
met Oscar Wilde in London once,
where we were both guests, and he
was to take me down to dinner. He
commenced to talk his nonsense and
pose to me as we were going to the
dining-room. said to him : "Look
here, Mr.. Wilde, Nine. Christine Nils
son will put up with no such stuff.
This is all put on, and there is nothing
in it but nonsense" Mr.. Wilde said !:
"Thank you. You are the first sensi-
BILE woman and true friend that I've
met" After that he acted as man
should, and talked sensibly. Some days
after he sent me volume of his poems,
appropriately inscribed. But he is not
considered poet in Europe.

Notes from the Pest House.

The bill for the purifcation of the ballot is again smothered, the judiciary commit tee reporting adversely. This IS no sur prise, as that committee is generally con- posed of the cream of all corruption and we did dare hope the present one to be an exception. But our suprise IS great at the action of Mr. Cooley, who proclaims himself an advocate of all honest measures and who introduced the bill, heard the arguments in its favor before the commit tee, expressed his complete satisfaction, congratulated the delegation on it's splendid showing. an promised to do all Tn his power for its passage; and then on the matter being reported to the House-moves it's rejection.
 And the thing from Stonlngton that the tailor made; who took occasion to adver- tise himself as being in favor of any meas ure tending to secure an honest election i; where oh 1 where was he2 Oh for the day when the people will know enough and have virtue enough to plank their feet be- low, aud raise their hands on high, and swearl
 There promises to be quite a scalping match this time over the anti factorising bills. The traders are coming up in force on one side. headed by the lawers, while the other is mainly composed of manufact- urers. The workingmen-the bone of contention-seem to have little or no in- terest in the matter. " Whoever saw the bone get up and fight" No, no, their place is to plod along from day to day |" minding their own business," taking good wholesome advice, and not disturb Ing their craniums with politics, even when it directly effects their pocket books. It is enough for them to go regularly to the polls and vote, for the "party," the party taking care of them until 1t is again necessary to repeat the operation. But the interest taken in the matter by the employers is rather problimatic. The only hypothesis on which this is accounta- ble, is that they are after GU the a0ool themselves. But if it passes, what will become of that very essential adjunct to society-the constable?
