A Child Victim o! HydrOphobia.

The victim was Ernest, the f~ive-year.
old son of August Rosenthal, an express
man living at No. 60 Fisk Street. Some
thing like two months ago the little fell
low was accidentally IL over and had
his leg broken, and for a long time was
confined to his house. About four weeks
ago the injured limb was so much better
that he was able to sit up, and, as he
seemed to delight in sunshine and fresh
air, he was allowed to sit outside the
door on every pleasant day. 1t was on
an occasion like this that he was enjoy
ing the balmy air and sunshine one after.
noon, when a strange cur came down
the street, and, stopping in front of Ro-
%senthars house, began shifting at some
baskets of meat that had been left stand
ing on the sidewalk. Little Ernest, fear
fulthat the dog might carry off some OF
the meat, tried to drive him away, and,
crawling to the gate, he rose to his feet
and kicked at it. The brute was an ugly
one, and instead of running away turned
on him, flew at him and bit him on the
left side of the face. His creams attract
ed the attention of the child's mother,
and, learning the facts in the matter,
she carried him to a neighboring physi-
clan and had the wound cauterized.
There seemed to be nothing to appre-
bend from so Insignificant a wound, and
the matter SOON dropped out of sight.
About ten days ago the little fellow
began to- complain to his mother of pains
about his head and neck, and she noticed
that he seemed more restless and fever
ish than usual. This was at first looked
upon simply as one of the results of the
shock he received when the leg was bro
ken, and no particular attention was
paid to his trouble. Sunday, however,
while the family were sitting about the
house, the boy was attacked by q terrible
| spasm that lasted some time, and was
accompanied by a copious frothing at
the mouth. Suspecting now the truth
of the matter, physicians were hastily
summoned, but they could do nothing
beyond making his terrible suffering less
apparent. During the next few days
the commissions grew more and more
frequent, and it was found necessary %
lash the unfortunate little sufferer to a
sofa. He uttered strange cries and yelp.
like barks during these paroXysms, and
the sight of water would simply throw
him into the most awful commissions.
These acute commissions lasted over a
period of three days, death bringing a
welcome release to the racked body at
three o'clock Wednesday morning.
There were half a dozen physicians in
attendance upon the boy, who watched
the case with the greatest interest,"

"COLD!"

They say she is cold, but they say what they do
not, caunot know,
The very flowers that hang from the girdle of
Spring We're growing under the snow.
Is the violet cold that it shrinks from the gaze
and the touch of the herd?
Is the sony OF the thrush, though it is not per
United to fondie the bird?
They often love fondest, love surest, who never
betray the emotion:
l could tell you of one whom she loves with a
passion as deep as the ocean.
1t is true that, in words, she has never con-
fessed to the feeling;
Love chooses II daintier way for its choicest
and sweetest revealing.
Never once has he touched her lips with his
own, never once caressed her hand-
He might kiss and caress to his hearts content
would he only understand!
'Coldl Cold" Did no know all her heart, as
they nippantly say it.
He would leap with his might Mt the talsehood
to throttle and stile and Stay it.
Some time he will know what to-day he would
barter his life to be knowing
Not, perhaps, till the roses and daisies above

She may die with the weight of her delicate
secret upon her:
Then may God charge His angels to crown her
with Heavenly blessing and honorl
So they who were made to be lovers, alas they
are nothing but friends;
He dare not, she will n~ot-behOld, for the want
of a word how it ends!
Well, the case is, at least, no marvel, the story
is common and old:

Washing Laces and Muslins,

Scrape fine a tablespoonful of white
soda bar soap, and stir it into a pint of
boiling water and add Il piece of borax
of the size of a walnut. Let it stand
until soap and boraX are dissolved. Then
pour it into a quart glass fruit can and
put into it soiled laces and muslins. If the
laces are in narrow strips, sew them into
quarter of a yard lengths by turning n
piece back upon the other, until the lace
is used up. Run the thread close to the
upper edges of the lace, so as to define
the points or scollops of the lower edges.
BY so doing when the lace is cleansed
you can pull out the points better, and
then iron it under a thin bit of linen
cloth. Fill up the jar and place it in a
sunny window, or out-of-doors in the
sun, and two or three times day shake
it up and turn it round. In one sunny
day fine laces can be thoroughly cleaned
by this method, but it will take longer to
wash embroideries. If the water looks
much soiled, turn it out and add more
until it is perfectly clear. Riuse the
laces and muslins in two Oh three clear
waters when taken out. and if you wish
them to be yellow, dip them into a cup
of clear coffee and let them become near
~ dry before ironing them. -Countrs

Wesley's Tact.

The following anecdote of the founder
of Methodism has, we believe, never
been published. 1t reaches us from a
trustworthy source, and it illustrates in
a remarkable m the mingled tact
and piety of that eminent man:
Although Wesley, like the Apostles,
found that his preaching did not greatly
affect the mighty Or the noble, still he
numbered some families of good position
among his followers. 1t was at the house
of n of these that the incident here
recorded took place. Wesley had been
preaching, and a daughter of a neigh
boring gentleman, a girl remarkable for
her beauty, had been profoundly inn
pressed by his exhortations. After the
sermon Wesley was invited to this gen
tleman's house to luncheon, and with
himself n of his preachers was enter
tanned. The preacher, like many of the
class at that time, was a man of plain
manners, and not conscious of the re-
straint of good society. The fair-young
Methodist sat beside him at the table,
and he noticed that she wore a number
of rings. During a pause in the meal
the preacher took hold Of the young
lady's hand. and raising it in the air,
called MeSiey,SL
ling jewels. What do you think of
this, SIR" he said, ''for a Methodist's
handp"
The girl turned crimson. For Wesley.
with his known and expressed aversion
to finery, the question was a peculiarly
awkward one. But the aged evangelist
showed a tact which Chesterfield might
have envied. He looked up with a quiet,
benevolent smile, and simply said: "!Ihe
hand is very beautiful
The blushing beauty had expected
something far different from a reprooi
wrapped up with such felicity in a com.
pliment. She had the good sense to say
nothing; but when, a few hours later,
she again appeared in Wesley's presence
the beautiful hand was stripped of every
ornament except those which nature had
giyen.-London Society.

FARM AND

Colts are frequently taught the
trick of nipping with their teeth by their
owners injudiciously playing with or
teasing them. Once learned the habit
is cured with difficulty. Treat the
horse very carefully, avoiding all play
inc with it, and whenever it attempts to
bite, whip it across the nose with a
switch.-N Y. Herald.
Nice ginger waters are made of
cup of sugar, one cup of butter, one
cup of molasses, half a cup of cold cof-
fee left from breakfast, two even tea
spoonfuls of soda, one tablespoonful OF
ginger, and flour enough to make a
stiff dough; knead it hard and roll very
thin, and bake in a quick oven.-Chs-
cago Journal.
Horses in pasture are often extreme
ly annoyed by flies. If they can stand
when not in use in dark, sweet stables,
by all means turn them into the pasture
only at night. Gnats and mosquitoes
are of little annoyance to horses, but the
larger day-flies and the Bot-fly set them
almost crazy. -GermantoWn Telegraph.
-When washing Isle thread gloves
for your husband or sol do not use soap;
instead of that put a tcaspoonful OF am
monia in one quart OF water. If washed
in this way there is no danger of there
being spots and streaks in the gloves, as
there would almost certainly be if
washed in the usual way.-N. Y. Post.
Peas and oats for fodder: When
cut in blossom and well cured this mixed
crop is worth more than clover hay. Cut
with the reaper if they have not lodged.
Otherwise the best plan is to cut them
with a scythe, not as grass is mown, but
by drawing them toward the mower in
punches with the blade of the scythe,
when the loose punches may be left to
dry until ready to haul to the barn.-N.
i. Herald.
Pure and good milk is a necessity in
almost every family. 1t may come into
the house in a wholesome condition, yet
there is ever the danger that it will be-
come tainted with the sewer-gas from
closets, or even with the dust carried
by drafts through sleeping or living
rooms. There can be no doubt that
while milk is one of the best and most
palatable of foods in summer, it must be
carefully guarded from the farm to the
table or it will prove a potent vehicle Of
disease.-N. Y. Examiner.
