1HE STRICKEN ROSS FAMILY.
The Secret SORROW for their Stolen

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
On porch overlooking a beautiful
lawn IN front OF a duiet-loOking resi-
dcnce on Walnut lane, Germantown
on sunday sat three persons. An elder
ly-iooking gentleman, dressed in a
pialh business suit, a nice-looking lady
OF nearly 90 years, clad in black, whose
hnely nodded features bore traces of an
inward sorrow, and 1.-THE, supple lad
of some l6 years comprised a trio who
have occupied more or less public at.
tention for the past nine years. Thew
were the parents and brother of Charlie
koss, who nine years ago on Sunday was
abducted.
The grief of Mrs. Ross has not been
assuaged by the lapse of all these years.
and, like her husband, she suffers un.
told anguish from the feelin gs of sus.
pense in which they are at all times
Kept by the fact thar they do not know
whether the boy is alive or dead.
Were we only assured of Charities
death, said Mr.. Ross, :" it would be a
relief for we are tortured with thoughts
OF him being reared among thieves and
outcasts lfhe is alive he is surely among,
vagabonds, because those who stole him.
Mosher and Douglass, could not have
lntrusted him to others than foo. pads
ana robbers This is what causes us SO
much worrinent, for | would rather
have him dead than grow to lead a dis
honest life.
ut is indeed deep mystery to think
that nine years could pass without any
trace of the boy being discovered. His
abductors We're traced, but never has
anything turned up concerning Charlie
himself If he is alive my wife and ri
feel, somehow or other, that we will
hear OF or come across him some time.
why we entertain such a belief, or how
we expect To find him, l cannot tell
but, nevertheless, we feel that, if alive.
he will be restored to us some day.

From the San Francisco Scientific Press.
No household in the country should
ever be without supply of haxseed,
both whole and ground; for there is
scarcely anything which can be used with
greater success by the amateur physi-
clan At least half of the ailments of lit
tie children may be traced to cold, or to
some disturbance of the digestive or
gans; and in either of these cases a flax
seed poultice is a sovereign remedy.
Pour boiling water on the ground flax
seed, stirring briskly at the same time,
till it is the coRsistence of mush; then
put it into a flannel bag previously pre-
pared, apply it as hot as it can be borne,
and cover with several folds of flannel,
Let it remain until it begins TO cool when
it may be replaced by another.
In cases of cold ON the chest, hoarseness
and cough, it often acts like a
charm, and also IN attacks of diarrhHa
and pain in the bowels. | have seen a
little child screaming in agony, relieved
in few moments by this safe house
hold remedy, falling into a quiet sleep,
and awakening the next morning quite
well. Its great recommendation is, that
it can do no harm, even If 1t should fall
to do good, which is more than can be
said of many nostrnms confidently pre-
sciibed for family use.
Flaxseed tea, if properly made is ex-
cellent for colds and coughs, and is
pleasant enough to necessitate no coax
ing CT the little ones. Put two table
spoonfuls of the seed into a quart of
cold water. set it over the fire, and,
when it begins to boil, allow it two min
utes by the clock. Then strain, add the
Juice of a lemon, and white sugar to
taste. Keep it on the back Of the stove
where it will be warm. and give Wine
glassful at short intervals.

The Charm of Breakfast.
from Harper's Bazaar


Sydney Smith orce said that break
fast was so pleasant because nobody was
conceited before ] o'clock. In truth,
most people are at their best at this
hour Ethey have been refreshed with
sleep, the annoyances of the previous
day have stepped into the back ground,
or have proved of no account, the odor
of hot coffee stimulates their appetites,
they are beginning the journey of anoth-
er day, and like all journeys, there is
mere or less excitement and expectation
about it; who knows what pleasant things
NAV happen therein, what charming
companions may be starting out to meet
us, what letters the postman maybe that
minute taking from the mail bag for us,
what checks the publishers may be that
instant signing in our behalf. Possibly
by dinner time we may be .lsIlluslohed
and out Of temper; the happiness we
looked for may have failed US, the
friends we counted upon may have DIS
appointed US, the editor may have de-
ciined our ode which was to make our
name a household word, the mailbag
may have been robbed, duns may have
assaiied us; but in the morning at break
fast the world is before us to choose, an
other page of that interesting romance,
every day life, is opening before us, and
all the sweetness and light of our being
DISPLAYS itself-that is to say, unless we
belong to that class of people who do
not "come down to breakfast as If q
great piece of good fortune had nap
pened to them over night" who rise
out of temper with nothing in particu-
lar. but the world in general, and con-
tinue irritable and disagreeable till
their appetites are satisfied. 1t is char
liable TO suppose that this popularity is
owing to an empty stomach, but all the
same these are not the kind of people
one would wish to sit down with; they
are a blot upon the morning sunshine,
an intrusion upon the serenity OF
the hour, a rebuke to US as ii our
lightheartedness were only make
shift of frivolty, as though they really
believed we we're as glum as
they but not so candid. In short break
fast should never be slurred over. as 1t
is in some households, as if it were a
necessary evil, piece of drudger7 to be
endured with all possible dispatch, 5e-
fore the earnest and profitable business
of the day; for in more or less degree
it is our breakfast which Is going to de-
termine the day for us, which Is to pre-
pare our system for the days journey
and the days worry, and is highly inn
portant that it should be made inviting,
that the room should be cheerful, the
| food irresistible, AID the company such
as to encourage digestion.

When the farm possesses only a mea-
gre supply of barns and other perma-
Dent buildings for stock, autumn is the
season for constructing cheaper shelters
under which cattle, sheep and swine
may be protected. In sections where
timber is plenty, sheds and pens can be
built at small cost When building
material is scarce it becomes more
difficult matter to properly house the
stock. In sections where the winters are
dry and protection is reQu ired from frost
and wind more than from rain and
snow. straw and prairie bay make ex-
eellent substitutes for weather boards
and shingles. 1t is no unusual thing TO
build sheds for both sheep and cattle of
straw and hay with the assistance OF a
few forks and poles. These sheds are
best located where the opening faces
the south, and if constructed on a slope,
dry beds will be secured,
The poultry of the farm is liable 70 be
neglected for what are considered OBJ
iects OF more Importance. In point II
fact these minor APPENDICES, when pro-
vided with warm, dry shelter and prop
er 70 ed, are source of considerable
revenue to their owners By all means
provide shelter for the fowls. Feed
them iudIciously through the winter,
and eggs in January, February and
March, with early broods of spring
chickens, viii repay with good interest
tor the care and the money expended.

A Most Remarkable Case.

About so yeas ago q man came to
Coeherton, Sullivan county, n. Y, who
gave his name as James Gardner. He
was an Englishman and for some time
worked there as farm laborer, although
he had an abundance of money. One of
the farmers by whom he was employed
was ramed Mitchell and this man had a
daughter named Matilda. After short
acquaintance the couple we're married
and Gardner bought farm n ar that
village and settled down. This was in
the year 1851. During their residence
here the couple were blessed With Eve
children. four of whom are known TO be
alive In the year 1867, accompanied
by their children. they sailed for Eng
land Arriving in the latter country Mrs.
Gardner discovered that her husbands
name was not Gardner, but Isaac Poole,
and that he had been forced TO leave
England on account of crimes commit
ted there. This proved a great surprise
to Mrs. Gardner After his wife made
this discovery Gardner deserted her and
she was compelled to return to her old
home on the farm. This she did in the
year 1871, bringing all her children
with her. Gardner, through a
third party, Supplleu MS VIE
with money to pay her return passage,
and also a sufficient sum to keep her and
her children for some time. After Wis
iting her old home. Mrs. Gardner and
children moved to Newburg, n. Y, ana
has since made that city her home.
Fer many years she kept up CORE
spondence with her husband in Eng
land and the children have now several
letters, all of which are signed Isaac
Poole" In the early part of last August
Mrs Gardner was killed on the Erie
railway track in Newburg. and after that
the family became scattered. Of the
sons, Morgan and John still make New
burg their home, Sarah resides at Pas
sale, n. j., and the whereabouts of
Thomas is unknown. Thomas NJ. Moore,
lawyer in Passaic, n. j., recently re-
ceived a letter from England inQuiring
Of the whereabouts of the children of
James Gardner or Isaac Poole. The let
ter stated that Poole who was danger
ously sick, wished to learn the where
abouts Of his children in order that his
property, which amounted to over Sl0QF
boo, might be divided among them. Mr..
Moore found trace Of the family and will
have no trouble in identifying the for
unate heirs.

Meat Eating IN Paris.

According to report published by
the French Minister of agriculture the
consumption of butchers meat in Pari,
during 1881 aggregated 33l ,483 So
pounds, and in 1882 $50, 980,7Gl. During
1882 there were consumed in the de-
partment OF the Seine 1926 horses, -
mules and $40 asses, forming total o
$685. 500 pounds, of which two-thirds
were converted into sausages. Tie first
TACT of importance to notice is the pro
Qressive consumption of butchers meat,
evidencing on the whole that the Paris
population are augnenting their ma
terial comforts. The second fact tc
which the attention ofthe Partisan func
tionaries should be drawn is the incon-
sistency of prescribing American pork
in consequence of alleged unhealthy
tendencies and yet permitting the con
sumption Of horses, mules and asses
neatly done up in sausages.
