SUDDEN DEATH OF LITTLE WALTER Buck
Walter, the youngest son OF MIR. and Mrs.
Norman Buck, bright and brilliant lad of
five years of age, had been complaining
few days of not feeling well, and seemed
feverish, the most of the time capable of
playing about both in and out of doors. The
mother administered domestic treatment not
thinking there was anything alarming in his
symptoms, and he seemed to be better up to
Christmas Eve. That evening he expressed
desire that the rest of the family should
attend Christmas tree, as he expected some
presents, and accordingly they went and
some presents were brought home to him
which he seemed to enjoy much. The fam
lily retired for the night, after in bed some
time the lad complained of sleepessness, but
was urged to be quiet. His father threw a
kiss to HIM and he returned the salutation,
and then said { have kissed father and he
has kissed me. At half past two he was
taken with violent spasm; physician was
sent for. He partially came out of the first
but did not seem to be conscious, and then
immediately went into another from which
he never recovered and expired about half
past five ann, on the o5th. They feel deep

LABOR,S AGITATION.
The Situation Abroad.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Nearly five thousand wOrkmen connected with
the building trade in Philadelphia have made
demands on their employers for an advance of
wages, the increase to take effect either after
April Is or after May I, and have united under
the title OF the Amalgamated Building Trades
to secure the accomplishment of that object.
They comprise carpenters, plasterers, painters.
bricklayers, tin and slate-roofers and granite
cutters. The object of one is the object of all i,
and for the time being they stand in their re-
latiOns toward employers with reference to the
Increase as one trade. Out of AGO carpenters
In the city 1000 are members of the Brother
hood Of Carpenters and Joiners and they ask an
advance after May Of from g. so to So a day,
which they expect to get; some Of the employ
ers, it is claimed, having already agreed to give
them the Increase The movement originates
from prospect of unusual activity in the build
ing trade this summer, all the contractors it is
claimed, having their hands full of work and
enough ahead to keep them busy until next
September. The present wages of $3.50 per
day for carpenters have been the rule since last
May, being the result of demand similar to the
one in question. for an increase of half a dollar
a day, the wages previous to that having been
So. The increase last year was obtained with
out strike, though some Of the contractors de-
INJURED for several weeks before they agreed to
the advance. In the present case the workmen
believe they stand better chance of getting
what they ask than they have at any time be-
FORE for the reason that they are better or
result of careful survey of the situation and
an assurance to themselves. they claim, that the
demand for an increase was fully warranted by
the prosperous condition of business

It is not generally known that there is in

There are thirty in the kennel. Plantagenet is
by all odds the finest dog in the pack and is gen.
orally conceded to be the champion living dog.
He Is two years old. sired by Dashiug Monarch

open class at the dog show in Pittsburg last
month aud will compete in the big shows in
New York, April Is. 10. 20 and 81, and in Bos-

pion class. The only dog that can seriously
compete with Plantagenet is Thunder. owned
by Mr.. Moore. of Philadelphia Thunder is out
OF Fairy, a pure Laverack setter, now owned by
Mr.. GoOdseil. Plantagenet Is of Llewellyn
stock which is but an OutcrOss Of Laverack.
For Piantagenet 81 500 has been offered and re-
fused Money will not buy him.
Another splendid specimen of the canine race
found in Mr.. Martins kennel is Fairy, one Of the

other notables in the kennel are Petrol, bred by
Mr.. Llewellyn, though of pure Laverack stock !;

THE COUrsTsrsIp OF A CAPITALIST.
How n Rich yTaa from the Rockies
Wo0ed and Won n Chambermaid.

From the st. Louis Republican.
rugged looking capitalist from the wild can
yons OF the Rocky mountains, named James
Jones, Is now the hero of social sensation
which, since yesterday morning, has pro-
dnced no small commotion among BOARD
ers at the Planters House, where he is
stopping. He retired early Sunday night,
but found himself too restless to sleep.
During his fitfui attempts to slumber the idea
worked itself into his brain that it would be un-
wise for him 70 return to the gulches OF the
Rockies without a wife. The idea troubled him
to such an extent that he arose yesterday MORN
ing at five o'clock and started out IN search OF
helpmate. Among the first persons he met,
after leaving his room 1t that early hour, was a
chambermaid. who goes by the name of ''Dutch
Mary" In an off-hand, busness-Hke way, pc
cuar to men who hail from the mining districts
of the far west, he told the chamberlnad that he
was looking for a better half and asked her if
she wouldn't become his bride.
"Och. mol" replied Mary. Il don't want to
have anything to do with you. I don't know
you How do you expect me to know you? or
course, won't marry you" After saying this
Mary turned on her heel and went about her
work. But poor Jones took heart in the thought
that there we're plenty ofas pretty chambermaids
circulating around as ever We're caught He
accordingly continued his persistent search I'M
til he ran across French Florence" To Flor
ence he proposed bluntIy and she bluntly re-
fused, saying that ''she wouldn't do anything Of
the kind If she knew herself-and she thought
she did" By this time the mountaineer began to
feel blue, as there were no other chambermaids
In sight. However. after moments reflection
he concluded to tackle Dutch Mary again. He
went back to her and duplicated his appeal,
when she relented and said: 'Why, yes, my
dear. of course 1 will marry you tomorrow"
This answer made the ardent lovers heart leap
with Joy, and was the canse of his returning to
the hotel after a short tour about the city,
with any amount of stuff, which he laid at the
feet OF his intended as presents. During his
tour about the city he purchased her Sl75 silk
dress, a S22 parasol, gold watch and chain
and two elegant gold rings, heavier than those
worn by any of the lady guests at the Planters.
The wedding. in grand style, takes place at the
Planters to-day Jones is about forty years Of
age and the bride twenty-one.

The Physiology Of Walking.

A medical contemporary devotes considerable
space to a consideration Of the physiology Of
walking, subject suggested by the recent
pedestrian match It states that. in walking,
the body goes through q double series of undu-
latiOns, which are somewhat similar to the
curves in the flight of a bird. There is verti-
cal movement which reaches its highest point
when the body is vertically over the supporting
or active leg. The other movement is lateral,
and results from the necessity of keeping the
center Of gravity over tie supporting leg, and
this changing Of the center of gravity from side
to side is aided by the arms. In "step" one leg
gives slight propulsion 70 the body, which then
swings forward, little muscular effort being
necessary. In the "OLeay style' Of walking
the swinging is done BY the trunk muscles.
which are made to move the whole pelvis. and
thus the leg and thigh muscles are saved. It
is termed walking with The hips. The foot is
not brought sharply dowr upon the heel. but
carried nearly parallel to the ground. In slow
walk there is always one period when both feet
are on the ground. and aiether when only one
foot supports the body. Is the walk quickens.
the time in which both fet are down together
diminishes, and In very rapid walking prac-
tically disappears. In very rapid walking there
Is also kind of pulling by the forefoOt as it
comes down. The Galore developed by long
walking Is something quite enormous, since q
pedestrian who walks one hundred miles in a
day will produce the equivalent of enough heat
to boil I20 pounds Of ice-cold water.

Avery Brave Little Girl.

From the Montezums (GA.) Weekly.
A gentleman living near Henderson, while
ploughing few days ago, sent ten-year-old
daughter to the house for his gun, for the pur-
pose of shooting some rice birds that were In
the field. Returning with the gun, the brave
little heroine was attacked in the road by an
Infatuated bull and instead Of running and
screaming, and thus urging the beast on. as
most other children would have done, she stood
her ground, and as the beast advanced, she let
go the contents Of both barrels into his face.
The beast, seemingly in state Of intoxication,
ran here, there and everywhere in search of the
child, against fences, trees, etc, but climbing
the fence hastily the little girl managed to es-
cape She ran and told her father of the Incl
dent. who, hearing the report of the gun, was
rushing to her to ascertain the cause of the
shooting. With the assistance Of two colored
men the now cOwed animal was driven home.
and 1t was discovered that both Of his eyes had
been shot out.

"A physician or forty years standing writes
as follows to the London Times: ''While there
is necessarily great diversity of opinion as to
the fitness of women to undertake any Of the
occupations which men follow, entaing great
physical labor and exposing them to vicissitudes
OF climate and temperature, and various bodily
hardships. it appears that women are physically
and intellectually competent, and in some
cases especially so, to follow certain callings
of different character now entirely in the
hands of men. In my own profession the
employment Of trained women in places of
trust. as MANAGERS of Institutions. as matrOns
as sisters Of charity, aud as nurses, has long
since been recognized as an essential part
of our social scheme and no hospital or
analogous institution will thrive where the
trained lady influence is not felt and seen. But
there is one branch in the medical profession for
which it has long seemed to me that the edu-
Gated woman is specially adapted and which ap-
pears to have escaped the attention of those
most interested in finding suitable occupation
for her. 1t is the practice of pharmacy Both in
and out of hospitals I apprehend that pharmacy
as well as the public would profit by an extern
sIve employment Of women. Any one familiar
with foreign hospitals, in which the dispensing
department is in the lands of women, will be
able to say whether they do their work well or
Ill. l do not hesitate to affirm that have

and smell, their c0nseientiousness. cleanliness
and tidness think thai they possess special
qualifications for undertaking more generally
the work now left to met whose general scien-
tific attainments are certainly not beyond the
reach of any ordinarily educated girl. Pharna-
ceutical work is entirely indoors; it rarely if
ever. entails night work. and neither physically
nor mentally does there appear to be the slight
est objection to the employment of well-trained
women in the compromising and dispensing of
medicines. The physician would often profit by
the suggestions and hints which clever female
pharmace ,ltist would be able to offer. and which
do not present themselves to the male chemist,
while women, by entering upon this career,
would add largely and legitinately to their
sphere of useful and remineratiYe occupation"
