Revived by a Little BROTHERS. Kiss.

A very remarkable case of what
might be called bringing a child back
to life occurred recently at the resi-
dence of Mr.. joseph Meyer, on third
street, between Jefferson and Market.
Mr.. Meyer has two children. one boy
about ten years old, and the other a
girl about two months old This baby,
which always appeared healthy, was
taken i'll with something like convul-
sions, and came very near dying before
medical aid could be summoned. DIR.
Henderson was called in and gave the
child some medicine to relieve it, not
thinking, however, that it could posi-
bly, live. He then left but returned
the next morning. When he reached
the house the child was barely breath
ing, and in few moments afterward
respiration stopped al ogether. Every
appearance of death was visible; the
face assumed the hue of death, the
jaw dropped, limbs relaxed, and the
eyes became glazed. The doctor ex-
amined the pulse and listened for the
beating of the heart, but failing to find
any signs of life, pronounced the child
dead. 1t lay thus for fully ten minutes,
with the members of the family group
ed around the bed, lamenting, as is
usual in such cases. The little girls
brother, who was just old enough to
understand the situation, and who
seemed to be greatly grieved, suddenly
stepped from the circle and approached
the supposed corpse, leaned over aud
imprinted kiss upon the pallid lips.
The baby's mouth was partly open,
and in kissing her the boy blew his
breath down her throat. The little
lips suddenly moved, the child gave
several sudden gasps, and then COM
menced to breathe-slowly and very
feebly at first, and then gradually
stronger, until respiration become al
most natural. Every one around was
terribly astonished at this unlooked-for
coming back from the dead, and did
not seem to realize the fact until the
child had been breathing half an hour.
1t is still alive and rapidly improving.

My sisterll be down in a minute and says
you'll to wait, if you please;
And says might stay till she came it'd prom

Nor speak till you spoke to me first. But that's
nonsense, for how would l know
What she told me to say if / didntl Don't you
really and truly think so,
And then you'd feel strange here alone And
you wouldn't know just where TO sit;
For that chair isn't strong on its legs, and we
never use it a bit.
We keep it to match with the sofa But Jack
says it would be just ike you
To flop yourself right down upon it and knock
out the very last screw.
Suppose you try2 won't tell. You're afraid

was meant
Well then, there's the album-that's pretty. if
your fingers are clean.
For sister says sometimes | daub it; but she only
says that when she's cross.
There's her picture. You know it, It's like her;
but she amt as good-looking Of course.
''This is me- It's the best of EN- all. Now tell
me- you'd never have thought
That once / was little as that It's the only one

For that was the message TO pa from the photo

That he wouldn't print any more till he first got
his money for that.
WHAT Maybe your tired of waiting. Why,
often she's longer than this
There's all her back hair to do up and all her
front curls to friz.
But it's nice to be sitting here talking, like grown
people, just you and me.
Do you think you'll be coming her often2 On,
do But don't come like Tom Lee.
"Tom Lee? Her last beau. Why, my goodness
He used to be here day and night
Till the folks thought he'd soon be her husband
and Jack says that gave him fright.
You won't run away then, as he did for you're
not rich man, they say;
Pa says you're as poor as a church mouse Now
are you2 And how poor are they
"Ain't you glad that you met me2 Well, | am;
for / know your hair isn't red,
But what there is left of it's mousy, and not
what that naughty Jack said
But there | must GO Sisters coming. But
wish | could wait just to see
If she ran up to you and kissed you in the way
that she used to kiss Lee"

Boy Inventors.


Some of the most important inven-
tons have been the work of mere
boys. The invention of the valve mo-
ton to the steam engine was made by
a boy. Watt left the engine in very
incomplete condition, from the fact
that he had no way to open or close
the valve except by means of levers
operated by the hand. He set up a
large engine at one of the mines, and a
boy was hired to work these valve lev
ers. Although this was not hard work,
yet it required his constant attention.
AS he was working these levers he saw
that parts of the engine moved in the
right direction, and at the exact time
that he had to open or close the valves.
He procured strong cord and made
one end fast to the proper part of the
engine, and the other end to the valve
lever; and the boy had the satisfaction
of seeing the engine move off with per-
feet regularity of motion.
A short time after the foreman
came around and found the boy play
ing marbles at the door. Looking at
the engine he soon saw the ingenuity
of the boy, and also the ad vantages of
so great an invention. Mr.. Watt then
carried out the boys inventive genius
in practical form, and made the
steam engine a perfect automatic
working machine

The Women and Railroads.

Women appreciate the benefits of
railroads with q keener relish than men,
Railroads have brought to women and
to the family blessings of a peculiar
and valuable character. Isolation is
the dreary lot and portion of the rural
women of America. The lives of far
mers' wives are dull and insipid; they
are without recreation and amusement;
they are distant from works and dis
plays of art and science; their lot and
that of their children is one of loneli-
ness. For this reason farmers wives
suffer from mental and moral weari-
ness; life looses its zest and freshness for
them, and their children flock to the
cities to seek new ways of industry, en-
terprise and enjoyment. Women feel
the need of society more than men.
while they have less opportunity for
social intercourse, and they appreciate
it because they have less of it, and have
a sharp sense of their need in this re-
spect. They are more aesthetic; they
covet personal and household adorn-
ment, and they have an Unsuitable
longing for the means by which their
tastes may be gratified. All this would
be more and more as it is, this condi-
ton of things would increase and tensi-
fly, but for the civilizing and refining
influences created by railroads, and
but for the means and facilities for cul-
ture and social improvement which
they have created.
The railroads make the city and
country near neighbors. They break
up the rustic and ld-fashiened habits
and ways of life which have prevailed
on the farms and in the remote vii
lagos; they are the direct agencies in
educating, refining. polishing and ele-
waiting the classes of people who have
been in the past without the possibili-
ties of culture and refinement The
railroads carry books, magazines, fresh
newspapers, models of taste and labor,
patterns and knowledge of art, the
results of experiment and science, 10
the most distant communities and to
the scattered homes and fre-sides
the vast areas of our COM
mon country They have removed
from the ways of rural life the curse of
isolation, and the shackles which
bound men women and children to a
sameness of scene, toll and effort during
their lifetime, and from generation to
generation.
The railroads have made the country
cosmopolitan, and they have brought
everybody within the radius and in
fuence of the highest sources of enjoy
ment. The greatest singer in the world
comes to the metropolis, and the rail-

roads make it practicable for thousands
from near and far to listen to the mira
Giles OF her minstrelsy. The great ora
tors, through the facilities created by
railroads, visit all the people of the
country at their local centers and places
of resort, or the people are enabled to
90 long distances to listen to their argu-
ments and eloquedce. Famous men
and women in all professions are no
longer strangers to the masses of the
people. Travel has been cheapened
and made comfortable and convenient
by the railroads, end it has greatly en-
larged the field of everyone's vision.
The women to day are vastly priv
LEGGED beyond their mothers. The first
settlers in the West came in ox-teams,
and were six and eight weeks, or longer,
on the road ''over the hills and far
away" and they left in the unap-
proachable distance behind them all
that was dear and delightful by associa-
ton and memory. The railroad has
opened a means of transit from the
past to the present, from the farthest
East to the ultimate West, and few
hours or day or two by rail will carry
the men and women on the boarders of
civilization, to the scenes of their child
hood, to "the old folks at home" to
the old homestead and Preside. Rail-
roads enable friends and relatives to be
set down at the far distant bedside of
the sick and dying, and to minister to
the cherries and forlorn wherever thei
lot may be cast.
Men value railroads because they
facilitate business, enhance the price
of land, promote speculation, and aid
in money getting The dollar mark is
the mark of mans appreciation of rail
roads. Railroads are of inestimable
value to women, because they add SO
much to the possibilities and delights
of social intercourse, because they
make rural life pleasant and diversity
it by means of travel and recreation,
and create community of interest and
association between city and country,
adding to the polish and urbanity of
one the natural truth and freshness of
the other, and because they introduce
the modes and fashions of polite city
society to the homes in the fields and
villages remote from the noisy and busy
centers of population. For the women
railroads have been an unmixed bles-
sing and benefit In all their relations to
the daily life of the people.
