Mrs. Scoyille has written u lengthy
and piteous appeal to Mrs. Garfield for
her forgiveness of and intercesson for
the slayer Of her husband. We quote
the following from her letter:
All those dreadful weeks of the Pres
idents suffering i prayed that the
Father above us all would spare his
life. Day and night my beseeching cry
went up. "God save the President |
thought he conld not die.
When the people of the whole world
called nightly unto Him to interpose
in his behalf, | said. "Surely He will
show forth His glory" But alas the
tenderest care Of. wife, family, and
friends. the prayers of the people, could
not move the Ruler OF the Universe to
countermand the DEGREES OF his all-wise
ahd mysterious providence, could not
keep IN his poor despoiled body his
grandly beautiful soul.
Despite the vigils, the tears, and the
prayers Of his family, of the Nation, of
the world, the midnight bells were
tolled, the midnight cry WAS heard.
The President is dead" We gaze up
ON the lifeless clay -gone--gone To
dwell with the glorided saints of the
Lord. And we, our tears flowed with
out stint. aud we said. lis there no
Godg"
Truly. IL WAS n grievous wrong. The
Lord aud He alone can Judge where
lies the moral responsibility.
Mrs. Garfield will probably not at
tempt to interfere with the course Of
the law; and President Arthur could
not be moved 10y any prayers or tears
to do so. While pity may plead duty
must he ineNvrble.
Since writing the above the follow
ing dispatch appears before the coun-
try. The course of Mrs, Garfield, az in
dictated. toward Mrs. Scoville's letter
will be universally indorsed:
CLEvRLANr, Ohio. February III.
Ill. Rhodes, secretary of tho Garfield
monument committee and near friend
1T Mrs. Garfield. was interviewed by
the associated press correspondent to-
day. He said. Mrs. Garfield received a
letter from Mrs. Scoville this morning. !
and that he was authorized in her be-
half to say, that toward the slayer OF
her husband she cherished no malice.
lie must answer only to his God and
the American people, For the sister
and all members Of his family she feels
only profound pity. Further than this
she asks to he let alone with her sor-
row, and to he spared being dragged
into useless and torturing publicity.
Mrs. Garfield will not answer her letter,

Boring the Ears.

A good deal has been recently writ
ten on the subject of boring the ear.
"for the sake Of the eyes," says the
London Lancet. 1t is always easy tc
find excuses for any practice which
ministers to vanity. That that counter
irritation set up by boring the ear and
wearing Q ring may, during the few
days following the operation. have some
effect on the eyes, supposing these or.
gans to be the seat Of any low form oi
Inflammation, is Just possible; but that
permanent good should be done by
wearing rings in the ears after they
have ceased to irritate, is inconceivable.
The test for motive in the recourse tc
this device would therefore be
willingness on the part Of the applicant
for this form Of treatment" to allow
the healing process to be delayed (sayl
by wearing rough ring dipped in some
irritating application. in short, SO pre-
pared as to act like . seton This, in.
deed, might do good, but in such case
probably recourse TO few blisters be.
hind the ears would be better. II ID
nonsense to suppose the wearing ofe
rings can be Of any service to the eye,
unless they irritate, and il they do ir.
ritate, the process by which the result
attributed to them Is obtained IL circui
tons, and. from surgical point Of view,
awkward in the extreme. Science can.
not prostitute truth TO fashion even in
so small matter as the wearing OF ear.

Lemon Juice as Smallpox Remedy.
1--s. -.p.n d.. 0an.vs navvrr, Of Irun
ton. Ohio, published his experience
with lemons as remedy for smallpox.
1t is as follows:
was taken sick April II with what
l supposed wss a severe cold, having
had my hair shingled the previous FRI
day. The l4th L was quite feverish
with q severe pain in the head and back
Saturday, 10th. was no better; Sun
day, fever somewhat reduced, | pre-.
sumo by the aid OF aconite, which had
been administered to me by Drs. Morris
and Dunn; eruption very indistinot
underneath the skin.
Monday morning, 18th, eruption I'M
mistakably that OF smallpox. Tuesday
morning eruption very abundant, crop
increasing rapidly in size and number.
Wednesday morning very dense crop
all over the face, forehead, scalp OF
head, neck, and soles of feet. Upon the
arl,s, hands. legs and body, they were
pretty evenly distributed, but not SO
closely packed as upon tho above men,
toned parts. By evening was suffer.
By 1890 o'clock the pain was almost
intolerable. My nurse had retired and
was sound asleep in bed. My feet
were so tender that dare not let them
touch the foot-board OF the bed.
My head could not suffer to lie on the
pillar. lay, raised on my elbow, my
neck resting upon my hand. had by
this time become SO nervous / dare not
shut my eyes from fear OF seeing un-
pleasant visions. Pulse about ninety.
l had upon the table at my bedside q
paper of lemons, also one OF oranges.
These were all the agents within my
reach.
I recollected that lemon Juice in suf-
fcient quantity was a sedative and
would lower the hearts action, and by
so doing might relieve mo of these un-
pleasant visions. therefore squeezed
all the Juice possibly could ont OF
one Of the lemons into the glass, to
which added about two tablespoon
fuls Of water and drank it. I then
opened the rind and sucked the balance
of the juice. 1 about twenty minutes l
took another lemon and used it in the
same manner. In q short time / felt
very cold, as If l were lying in close
proximity to q large mass OF snow or
ice. My pulse had dropped to sixty.
shut my eyes to see il the unpleasant
visions were gone. I not only found
that they were gone. but by placing my
hand upon my head l found the poI
had gone also. laid down and slept
two hours comfortably. I awoke, 1
presumed, from cold, although ha6
plenty of cover over me and the fire
was still burning in the CRATE. felt
so we'll pleased that I.took little more
lemon juice. 1 kept my pulse at from
sixty to sixty-seven for thirty-six
hours, when all eruption and elevations
had disappeared from my skin. l then
bid good-by to lemon juice and small
poI.
So strongly l am convinced OF the
power of lemon juice to abort any and
every case of smallpox, il administered
as administered it myself, that look
upon it as specific OF as much GER
tainty and power in smallpox as quinine
Is in intermittent fever. therefore pub
lish my experiments, hoping that every
physician having a case OF smallpox
will give it fair trial and report the
result to me.

The SBOw-FilIed Nest,

II swings upon the leafless trec,
By stormy winds blown to and fro;
Deserted, lonely, cad to sec,
And full OF cruel snow.
In summers noon the leaves above
Made dewy shelter from tho heat;
The nest was full Of life and love;
All, life and love are sweet
Tho tender brooding Of the day,
The silent, peaceful dreams of night.
The joys that patience overpay,
The cry of young delight,
The song that through the branches rings,
The nesting crowd with eager eyes,
The flutser soft of untried wings,
Tho flight of glad surprise.
All, all are gone l know not where;
And still upon the cold gray tree,
Lonely and tossed by every air,
That snow-flled nest I see.
i, too, had once place OF rest,
Where life and love and peace were mine
Even as the wild-birds build their nest
When skies and summer shine.
Dut winter came, the leaves werc dead;
The mother-bird was first to go,
The nestlnss from my sight have fed;
The nest is full of snow.

Batting With Minnows.

For long time Mr.. Furness studied
upon some plan to crush the milkmsr
and make him acknowledge the fraud he
had been practicing for months, and al
last an idea struck him. He hunted up
his sons tishpole and started for the
lake, and after some three hours OF
patient fishing on the government break.

perch, that would average about four
inches in length, and placed them in the
aquarium. Then he told the hired giri
to be sure and call him early enough in
the morning so that be could go out and
get the milk when the milkman came
along. He said he wanted to see the
milkman particularly, on business, and
she said she would be sure and call him,
and she did. About o'clock there
was rush Of wheels, the jangle Of .
bell and the milkman was at the door.
Mr.. Furness seized the pitcher and
then rushed to the aquarium. Only
I9res ef .ne iish xsEe alaye, snH ,Rs tRs othsIs r
Furness seized the live ones, thrust
them into the pitcher and rushed out.
By holding the pitcher pretty high up
the milkman was prevented from seeing
what was in it, and he poured in the
milk, all unconscious of the trap that
was laid. Mr.. Furness then handed
over the milk ticket and said 1t beat
all what weather wvro h.viasy.
The milkman said he never saw such
weather since the fall of AT, when
there was period OF seven weeks that
the sun never shone.
For goodness sake, my FRIEND
said Mr.. Furness, "what on earth Ii

g. don't know, I'm sure" said the
milkman "let's see." And he bent
over and looked into the pitcher.
"Why, it's something alivep sX.
claimed Mr.. Furness.
"Here," said the milkman, "lets
pour it out" And he took the top OF
a milk can and held it while Mr.
Furness poured out the contents OF the
pitcher.
"Fish. by the Lord Harryl" said the
astonished milkman.
"Well, I should say fish !" calculated
MIR. Furness, Indignantly, and looking
at the milkman in q searching manner.
"What does it mean2"
I'm blessed IL / know" said the
poor milkmsn, helplessly.
"Well, I'm sure don't" said Mr..
Furness.
There was long pause, and then Mr..
Furness said:
al want you TO tell me candidly,
now, Just how much water you put Ia
your milk, and whether you put in any
thing else besides water"
"Well, you see, sometimes I am q
little short. When have milk enough
to go around TO all my customers 1
don't put in any water; but when I
have sale for-well say-s hundred
quarts, and only have ninety or ninety
five quarts of milk-well. I can't afford
to lose my customers, you know"
"Are You short very often?" MIR.
Fuiness asked.
"Well, no-not very often," and the
man blushed and moved uneasily ON
the feat.
"I see the subject is becoming pain
full" said Mr.. Fnrness, stifliy, "and
will not pursue it further. But don't
you think that hereafter you can fur
nish me with little purer article OF
milk. and We will let by-gones be by.
