Der of enthusiastic Masons together.
"After labors," in Masonic language,
they retired to refreshments" IN
der the exhilaration of champagne
and other viands, the chaplain, the
Rev. F. III. CumminS, of Rochester,
was called on for a toast.
He responded with peculiar en-
phasis and in the language OF their
ritual; "The enemies of our order
may they find a grave six feet deep,
six feet long and six feet due east
and west" Immediately after that
toast, which was received with great
enthusiasm, Colonel William King,
an officer in the war of 1912, and
then a member of the assembly
from Niagara County, called Whit
ney, of Rochester, Howard, of Buff
falo, Chubbuck, of Lewiston, and
Garse, of Canada, out of the room,
and in carriage furnished by Major
Barton they were driven to Fort
Niagara, repaired to the magazine,
and informed Morgan that the ar
rangements for sending him to Can
ada were completed, and that his
family would soon follow him.
Morgan received the information
cheerfully and walked with his sup
posed friends to the boat, which was
rowed to the mouth of the river,
where rope was wound around
his body, to the end of
which a sinker was attached.
Morgan was then thrown over
board; he grasped the gunwale of
the boat conVulsively. Garside, in
forcing Morgan to relinquish his
hold, was severely bitten.
| Whitney, in concluding his mar
rative, said he was now relieved
from heavy load; that for four
years he had not heard the wind
rustic or any other noise at night
without thinking the sheriff was
after him.
Colonel Jewett, looking fxedly
at Whitney, said: "Weed can hang
you now" "But he won't" was
Whitney's prompt reply. OF course
a secret thus confded to me was
inviolably kept, and twenty-nine
years afterward, while attending a
national republican convention at
Chicago, John Whitney who then
resided there, called to say that he
wanted me to write what he once
told me about Morgan's fate, to be
signed by him in the presence of
witnesses to be sealed up and pub
lished after his death.

Where Diphtheria Occurs.

The mortality statistics collected
by the census bureau furnish some
interesting points in regard to the
distribution of certain diseases. The
number Of deaths during the census
year reported as due to diphtheria
is. males, 1886; females. 19,549;
total, 3S,298; giving a proportion of
51.SS per thousand Of all deaths in
in which the causes are reported.
The total number of deaths from
diphtheria under year Of age was
1886; under 5 years of age was
20,O25; between and Is years Of
age, 1852. In the North Atlantic
states the proportion Of deaths from
diphUheria to the total number of
deaths having recorded causes, was
51.29 per thousand, being in the
cities 46.71 per thousand, and in the
small towns and rural districts
$3.50. In the Gulf Coast states the
proportion of deaths from diphtheria
was but 1916 per Thousand (13.74 in
New Orleans and 1927 elseWhere),
and in the lake regions it was 81.15.

and the remainder Of the region
$40 per thousand. The statistics
of enteric or typhoid fever are
equally instructive. The total NUN

| fever are: Males. 1852; females
I11,O53; total. 22,905, being in the
proportion of 1921 per thousand Of
all deaths having reported causes
In the North Atlantic states the
| proportion of deaths from this this
cause was 1925 in the large cities
and 1892 in the country. In New
Orleans it was 1857 and in
the rest Of the Gulf states S0.02
In the Lake region the
deaths from typhoid were 17.1e
per thousand i'll the large cities
and 27.21 in the remainder of this
region. 1t will be seen from these
figures that neither diphtheria nor
enteric fever are especially diseases
of the large cities. They appear to
be more prevalent in the small
towns and rural districts which
have no general water supply OF

their water from springs and wells

The Ethics of Baggage Smashing.

From the report of recent interview
with a handler of personal baggage at
a railway station we learn that the only
wonderful thing about damaged trunks
is that the number is not greater. The
tendency of the travelling public to car
ry large trunks, which are bought as
cheaply MS possible, is not viewed with
favor by the stout fellows who are ex-
pected to handle baggage. The rule
is for single man to handle trunk,
no matter how large the latter may
be; rs q natural consequence the great
boxes in which some people stow their
effects are hard to lift and are dropped
with alacrity that Is not in the least
modified by regard for contents. There
are two remedies exclusive of COM
plant to the company-whioh never
does any good; one Is to distribute
weighty articles more carefully among
the various pieces of luggage, and the
other is to use smaller trunks. There
ls not the slightest possible excuse for
making trunk OF large model of
Noah's ark, unless, indeed, the owner,
ike Noah, proposes TO transport live an
lmals and TO smuggle them through as
] personal baggage. y Herald

Overfed Pigs.

There has never been time when the
question of overfeeding live stock of every
character has received so much attention
at the hands of breeders as is now the
case. Pig breeders are at present con-
sidcrably exercised on account of the
fearful losses sustained from cholera,
and it has slowly dawned upon the
minds of many of the gentlemen that
perhaps the evil practice of overfatten-
ing has something to do with these
continued losses. Science has as vet
failed to prove the truth of this assump-
tion, but practical feeders and breeders
are coming to that conclusion, and in
many localities are governing them
selves accordingly by disseminating the
practice OF crowding their stock. OF
all domestic animals, the pig goes it
upon his cheek, and at the ordinary fair,
or fat stock show, his very fullness of
cheek is too apt to govern the awards.
Consumers. however, do not indorse
these paunchy, round, overfed and
stuffed porkers, knowing that good porl.
cannot generally be found where ami
mails are seemingly fed for lard pur-
poses and that alone. What is required
and demanded both at home and abroad
Is the long-bOdied hog, which affords a
deep shoulder. lean ham, and sides
upon which meat instead of fat is the
rule. There has been growing dlspo-
sition to stop the practice of over-feed-
ing hogs, and SO general has the de-
mand become for good lean pork that,
notwithstanding the universal practice
to feed to the utmost capacity, breeders
are now changing their views, and send
ing to market pigs that will guarantee
good-paying block qualities. 1t is very
reasonable to suppose that an animal
overloaded with great masses of abso-
lutte fat and grease cannot be as healthy
as the one which, while sufficiently fed,
is not burdened with q mass that Is only
profitable to the lard manufacturer.
Foreign dealers in American pork do not
hesitate to assert that the stock of this
country Is overfed, and II is to these ex-
porters that the American breeders are
indebted for the change that cannot but
result TO the benefit Of the feeder, the
dealer and the consumer. - Londo,
Farmer.

''POcket Burroughs" in the British
Parliament. H

"Pocket burroughs" derive their
quaint appellation from the fact that the
individual commanding their votes car
ries them, as it were, in his pocket.
Not all the pocket burroughs, however,
are under patrician control; the purse
OF Plutus holding influence over agoodly
number OF them. 1t is well-known
fact that there are scores of them pur-
chasable as any othcr commodity of the
market can be bought up, lock, stock
and barrel, and are so bought. The
late commission of inquiry into con-
tested elections gave ample evidence of
this, having brought to light the as
founding revelation that the voters of
several such burroughs-not small ones
either-were bribed. almost to a man!
Many OF them even boasted Of the large
sums they had received, after stipulat-
ing for, and chatiering over them, with
out thought of shame or qualm of con-
science.
One would naturally expect that a
candidate for Parliamentary honors
would be required to give some proof of
his fitness for Parliamentary duties. But
in boroughs like these no such qualifica-
tion is needed. With them, political
capacity and knowledge of statesman
ship--or, indeed, other knowledge of
any useful kind-are the least and last
things thought of. Money will make

A garden swept away, and these
Grcat heaps OF logs aud clay that press
Tho earth with their unsightlincss.
They made the cottage low, where we,
Myself and John and babyy three,
Atlcast of all earth's children were
Most glad OF life, most free from care.
Tho morning, oh, Il was so bright
And cloyor blossoms red and white
Mnde the air heavy with perfume,
And carly roses were in bloom;
The climbing peas in bud, and beets
In red-llned leaves telling their sweets,
The beans grew fast, tho cabbage, too,
Its sesrereen leaves cmpearlod with dew,
Stood sturiily. and from my door
/ saw II all and wondered moro
And more-my baby on my knee
Why God had been so good to mo.
Then John came whistllng from the field
John was my life, my sun, my shield
And as he came, my heart, so blest
With olden memories tenderest,
Seemed overwhelmed just to see
Him come, and see the baby glee.
He talked with me n little while,
Drank from tho we'll, then with smile
Lifted the baby up, and said:
Good-bye;" and laid upon my head
His hand with tender touch, and then
My work is done. and now, you sec,
