A pretty story is told of Moses Men
delsohn, the founder of the family whose
name has sound of music in it. He
was humpback, and a young Ham,
burg maiden rejected him because he
was misshapen. He went to bid her
good-by, and while he was making a
last supreme effort at persuasion she
did not lift her eyes from her sewing
''Do you really think marriages are
made in heaven?" she asked. ''Yes, in
deed,n he replied; land something
specially wonderful happened to me. At
the birth of child proclamation is made
in heaven that he or she shall marry
such and such one. When was born
my future wife was also named, but at
the same time it was said, Alas! she
will have a dreadful hnmpback.' %,
God I said then, "a deformed girl will
become embittered and unhappy, where
as she should be beautiful Dear Lord,
give me the humpback, and let the
maid be well favored and agreeable
The girl could not resist such wooing
as that, and threw her arms around his
neck.

SANITARY.

As the summer advances the authorities
of New York begin to stir themselves to
prevent the shores of the harbor and
neighboring beaches from being polluted
and Uttered with carrion, carcasscs, garb-
age and the endless variety of rubbish
which naturally finds its way from a great
city into the nearest water, there to drift
about at the mercy of wind and tide. The
experience of the past has led to the ap-
pointment of a shore Inspector, whose
business it is to see that the harbor is not
befouled to such on extent as to render
sorts of Coney island, Rockaway and the
like unpleasant for visitors As sample
of the work done in keeping the bay clean
five sea captains have just been arrested
and indicted by the grand jury for throw
ing overheard condemned bedding within
the forbidden limits. Also a number of
employees of the street cleaning depart
ment, and the superintendent of a dump
boat, have been hauled up for dumping in
the wrong waters, and various vessel own
ers are in difficulty for employing oils, rot
ten potatoes, and the like, where would
cause trouble. The regulations require
all dumping to be done in deep water be-
low the Narrows, in the open bay, not
nearer to Rockaway than three miles. and
not beyond the west end of Coney island.
There is regular patrol along the beach
after every high tide, to'bury whatever an
imals and refuse may drift ashore.

What a Bow Did.

We give an account of a youth who two
or three years ago 'stook it into his head
to raise fowls for profit, and this is what
he did: With his own hands he built
moderate sized hennery which improved
his mechanical ability, purchased q
small number of fowls and took care of
them while attending school and doing
his proportion of the ''chores." In one
year and half he cleared, after paying
for everything that his fowls consumed,
one hundred and forty dollars; and yet
he spent no more time with his fowls
than most of his sehool-mates did in
their amusements which brought them
nothing, and without doubt caring for
his pets gave him as much satisfaction
as anything else could have done. He
made his money simply by having
regular daily system of cleanliness, and
feeding those few fowls, and properly car
ing for their eggs and increase. Some Sat
urday in the fall, when 'sschool did not
keep" he drew in lot of gravel, which
he piled in a convenient place, and kept
a layer of that fresh, fine gravel on the
floor of his hen house for the fowls to
wallow in. He kept the walls and cell
ing of the house whitewashed, and
sprinkled a little powdered sulphur
about to keep off the lice. On a broad
platform above the ground, under the
roosts, he caught the drippings, which
he cleared off every week, sprinkling the
floor, of course, with ashes and sand, or
the two mixed. He kept oyster shells
before the fowls constantly, and. often
threw to them cabbage leaves, turnip
tops and the like, and gave them a va
riety of food at regular intervals. He
generally gave them a variety-usually
a warm dish of scalded Indian meal and
shorts every morning, and often in cold
weather seasoned it with pulverized
cayenne pepper In the afternoon he
fed whole grain, such as damaged wheat,
oats or corn 1--WE would advise the boys
to feed good grain always. Once or
twice week he gave little chopped
meat or scraps, and kept little tub of
fresh water in one corner. The conse-
quence was that many afternoons he
collected from fifteen to twenty eggs
even in the coolest days of winter. Now
what is there to prevent all country
children from doing as well as this Yam
kee boy did, They may not all have
taste for the care of poultry, but is there
not something that may be done about
the farm and home that may give health
full, innocent amusement, and at the
same time help on to a life of pecuniary
independence? Won't they all take
hold and see what they can de2

BIBLES FOR MISSOURI.

The board of managers of the American
Bible society has issued an address to the
people of the United States, announcing
the fourth general distribution of the Bible
by the society. 1t was ascertaincd that
out of 5000, 1888 families visited during
the last ten years 723, ia were without the
Bible. The greater number of these
Scripture destitute families were supplied
either by gift or purchase, but a wide
scope of territory has not been traversed
by the agents of the Bible society and par
ticularly to cover this the new distribution
has been ordered. The first general dis
of the Bible society was made in
1929. when the then new state of Missouri
was the western border, and the popula-
ton of the country was II, $4,000. The
second was ordered in 1856, when the pop
ulation was 26, 500,0 900. The third was in
1886, when the population was nearly 81.
100000. Now, in the thirty eight states
and nine territories, including the Dis
trict of Columbia, the population numbers
nearly So 100000, The field is large and
appears to be ripe for the harvest The
agents of the society have had an eye to
the heavy immigration, and to supply the
foreign elements it is necessary to print
the book in fifteen foreign languages; 101,-
095 copies of these editions were distr1but-
ed last year to newly arrived immigrants
at the port of New York. 1t is proposed
to carry on the fourth general distribution
with vigor and all possible expedition.

SMALLPOX.

1t is useless longer trying to disguise the
fact that small pox has obtained firm
foothold in Davenport.
Several new cases were reported yester
day and the health department seems to be
unable to prevent the spread of the disease.
The infection undoubtedly started at the
picnic held at Washington Park "a week
ago last Sunday and the Zipp case in
Rock Island originated at the same place.
1t is most necessary that every precau-
ton be taken to properly quarantine and
guard against all danger of infection as
there can be no doubt that the warm
weather will soon blot out the plague.

MALARIA

Ii the last number of the Medical Meas
attention is called to the recent prevalence
of malarIal diseases in localities which had
for very many years been exempt. In the
carly history of the country fever and ague
and kindred complaints prevailed in Con-
necticut and Massachusetts Just as in reg
ular malarial districts of the west and
south. Then they disappeared or were
known only by occasional epidemics until
in Connecticut from 1882 to 1850 no cases
known. Since 1850, however, there has
been remarkable increase to the present
time. In Massachusetts cases have been
growing more frequent for fifteen years
past. It seems that on the settlement of
a new country malaria has been generally
prevalent. As the dense forests are clear
ed away, the swamps drained and the soil
cultivated malaria generally disappears.

Police business quiet.
The produce exchange had meeting
yesterday morning on the subject of a toll
bridge and endorsed the resolutions of the
board of trade, previously published.
Morris Rosenfield, of Rock Island, de-
sires to tell the Democrat that he is not
sixty years old.
Eastern schools and academies have
yielded up their quota of fair Davenport
population. Their return has added to the
male population also.
1t is stated that the youthful ticket
agent who appeared in an Oscar Wilde
suit the other evening desires to introduce
the fashion. 1t will never be popular here,
Davenport youths being to emaciated for
knee breeches.
Mr.. c. III. Pearse who was reported
mysteriously disappeared, has turned up.
He claims that he was sent to Council
Bluffs and from thence to Keokuk under
orders; which orders were of course never
given. 1t is feared he is not in his right
mind

COUNTERFEITs.

Davenport was flooded yesterday with
counterfeit silver dollars. They are a
good imitation, the only quality lacking
being weight. They are trifie lighter
than the genuine, otherwise good imita-
ton, In order to show the amount of
them afioat. it is but necessary to state
that Collector Green had thirty of them
presented at his office yesterday. Beware

An Infatnatad Indian.

Among the delegations of Indians re-
GENTLY on a visit to this city, says me
Washington Post, was young and good
looking chief. His name was Ko-wa-che.
He possessed to the fullest degree the
peculiar knack of getting on the right
side of the women folks, with whom he
was great favorite.
He with the other chiefs attended in
Vulnerable social gatherings and wasev-
erywhere lionized. Ko-wa-che was pet
ted to an extent that made even the
medicine man envious. But such a
thing as the bronzed savage being sus-
ceptible to anything like sentiment
wasn't for a moment thought of by the
ladies, and they patronized him to mani
fest the. interest they felt in this dusky
Lovelace.
The unsophisticated brave. it now ap-
pears, didn't look 1T the affair in exact
ly the same light. The warrior from
the primeval forests of the land of the
setting sun was madly, passionately,
head-oEer-heels in love, and the object
for which his soul now yearns is a bright
young girl of this city She is well
known as a society favorite. She met
the young chief at a social party given
at the home of the Indians host. The
interest she took in him differed in no
way from that manifested by her sister,
and she led him around. admired his
dress, and talked pigeon-English to him
because it WAS the fashion to do so. In
a few days after meeting the young girl,
he and his companions had to leave the
city to return to their tribe. He felt
that, rather than be separated, the pale
face maiden would avow her feelings
and leave the city with him. Though
he Jagged and delayed by various eN-
cuses the final departure of the dclega-
ton, to his ehagrin and disappointment
she came not. At Carlisle, where the
delegation had stopped for a season, he
concluded to return to Washington. 1t
was great way to the capital city, but
distance didn't eater into his calcula-
tions. lie wanted the pale-faee beauty,
and he could recognize no law that kept
her away. He would have her if he had
to emulate the heroic feat of Locllinvar.
The members of the committee on In
dian affairs received word that ko-wa-
che had made his contemplated effort to
escape the vigilance Of his companions,
and had been caught sliding out the
back entrance of the hotel in the guise
of waiter He WAS promptly collared,
and as the information went to the COM
mittee. is now under the surveillance of
the others of the party, who are making
for the backwoods country with their
prisoner as rapidly as their tedious
course viii permit.
