THE VERDICT.

The jury found that G. FRANKIE came to
his death from injuries received by being
run over by train 43 of the st. Paul NJ. &
M. railroad, and the company and en-
ployees are relieved from all responsible
ty. The Jury recommend that it is alb
solutely necessary in view of the danger at
the Third street crossing of the various
railroad tracks, that the city authorities
should require greater protection to travel
at this point, in that gates should be built,
the crossing bridged or entirely closed to

Sheriff Richter was found at his Office in
the Jail building in the afternoon and ap-
peared to take the result very calmly,
though it was contrary to what he had ex-
pected. He had believed all along that
the court would find that the ballot boxes
had been tempered with and thus declare
that the count of the judges of election
must stand. He said it would
not make much difference though
with him, as since the recent
legislation the Office ceased to be desirable,
il. and was hardly worth holding. Had he
known last fall that the legislature would
cut down tie pay as it did, he would not

"Oh, most anywhere; want to 60 around

ordered, rather bewildered by the unusual
style of his customer.
"Oh, don't want to go this way. Drive
the other way was the order, after a block
had been traversed.
The order was obeyed, and, after a block
or two had been ridden in silence, the man
shrieked:
I'm crazy, that's what l am! Give me
the lines and let me drive to police sta
ton! !"

BLACK BIRCH.

Are there black birch trees agrowing in the far off
woods wonder
With a wealth of balmy essence in their branches
1.-the and strong?
In the Spring time do the children reach with
eager hands to plunder,
While the quiet woodland arches ring with laugh
and shout and song?
can see an old gray school house with ledge
and wood beside it.,
And the rumpled, mossy pasture land runs close
While, away back in the greenness, with tuft of
fern to hide it,
and runs Ger.
There's battered tin cup hanging dropping
bough close by it,
Where the sunlight comes in fickers and the
shadows gather dim.
On the rush of childish footsteps when at recess
time they spy it!
Oh the flash Of cooling water! Oh the warm
lips at its brim!
Then the pulling at the birches! The delightful
swish and rustic
And the cracking Of the tender twigs the noisy
bursts of glee!
When the sharp rap on the window calls-oh,
what merry tussle
In the filling out of pockets so that nc sharp eye
may see!
little smugglers gather,
And spicy, woodsy fragrance penetrates its
dingy hooks.
Ah how sly the rodents nibble, while they make
vain endeavor
To appear absorbed in cleaning from the wisdom
OF their books
When the daily tasks are ended, and with dinner
baskets swayng
All the little folks bound homeward and the
house Is left in gloom.
Then across the teachers weary face pleasant
smile is straying
AS she brushes out the litter with her clumsy
hemlock broom

How to tell Good Eggs.

A good egg will sink in water
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from the
kettle.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the shell
are fresh laid.
After an egg has been laid a day or more
the shell comes off easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has lime-like surface to its
shell.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth of
shell.
Eggs which have been packed in lime look
stained, and show the action of the lime on
the surface.
Eggs packed in bran for long time smell
and taste musty.
With the aid of the hands, a piece of paper
rolled in funnel shape and held toward the
light, the human eye can look through an
egg, shell and all.
If an egg is clear and golden in appear q
ance when held to the light, it is good; if
dark and spotted, it is bad.
The badness of an egg may sometimes be
told by shaking it near the holders ear but
the test is dangerous one.
Thin shells are caused by lack of gravel,
ETC., among the laying hens.

Beautiful Women Increasing.

How well the woman of the day bears
herself 1t is noticeable fact, says the
Cleveland Herald, that the average of beauti-
full women grows with the age of the world.
/ opine it possible that the day may come
when feminine beauty will be universal.
And yet the sameness of handsome faces
and symmetrical figures will beat down the
barriers of taste, and the world know no
such thing as admiration of beauty in
women. How much variety has to do with
the standard of taste We step from class
to class in appreciation of beauty, as boys in
a school. This progress, leading toward a
higher plane, affects the subject that is
viewed and prompts true woman to elevate
her general tone, as the admiration of the
connoisseur prompts the true artist to his
work. But universal beauty will never be,
because With it all beauty, as such, would
vanish.

VOICES OF SPRING.

Through all the night 50 shrill and clear,
Glad heralds of the Queen of Spring,
Who comes her bounteous gifts to bring,
With singing birds and sweet perfume,
ExhaNd from generous apple bloom.
Peep, peep, no sleep, peep, peep. peep, peep
Thou mlnstrels of the swampy deep!
Reminders of the cowslips home,
Where oft my bare feet used to roam
BY meadow brooks TO homeward bring
This golden gift Of early Spring.
How oft has proved the song, peep, peep,
lullaby for boyhoods 8 sleep!
When tired of rambling through the woods,
Where, in their deepest solitudes,
BY stumps festooned with pine and plum,
we stopped TO hear the partridge drum.
or, when half lost in dreamy sleep,
HOW pleasant is the song, peep, peep,
As fancy takes me back once more
beneath the raftered roof of yore,

ihe pathos of the April rain
And thus through all the hours Of night,
LII morning comes with roseate light,
e nhe frogs their tireless vigils keep;
whose drowsy. tinkling notes, peep, peep,
Come floating on the perfuIned air

COST OF FUNERALS.
How Kansas City People Bury Thei1
Dead.
kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
Funerals have fashions just the same as
the cut OF coats and pants, and a Star re-
porter on his rounds this afternoon had an
interesting chat with leading undertaken
on the subject. Said the reporter:
"Are funerals very costly in this city?'
We'll, happy medium between the two
extremes is the rule If floral decorations
are used the expense of a funeral averages
about 5000, but without these silent emb-
lens of life cut down in death, the bill
is very much less. Flowers come very
high"
How as to the price of cofins ?"
"All the way from S. to $780, though of
the latter very few are sold in this city A
prominent lady, who died within the past
year in this city, sleeps the 'dreamless and
in tongueless silence in one of those fine
caskets, but it makes no difference to her
poor sister if she sleeps in one which only
cost $50, about the average price. By the
way, coffins of the old fashioned, fddle-box
style are about forever buried, out of their
remains coming the more handsome as well
as the more fashionable casket."
whence come the bulk of these cask-
ets?"
From Cincinnati; that is for the West
and South. AS Philadelphia furnishes most
of the carpets for the country, so does
Cincinnati supply us with our last tene-
ment."
"Is the tendency toward costly funerals,
and do you have much trouble in collecting
bills ?"
"No, the tendency toward display is fast
dying out. Of course there is desire to
have such last rites as will be in keeping
with the dead ones circumstances and social
position, but gorgeousness is of the past. We
have even put away the plumes which waved
on the hearse and were colored to symbolic
the age of the corpse. 1 haven't a plume in
my house. AS to the collecting of bills l
find less trouble than men in other business.
AS rule people pay funeral debts"
What does hearse cost ?"
"All the way from $500 to So, 800. One of
the former price looks well on paper, but is a
very poor affair. Plate glass and fine orna-
ments cannot be used on such vehicle. The
average cost of one of these solemn carriages
is 81 800"

A Residence Five Feet Wide.
New York Post.

New York Post.
The narrowest house in this city may be
seen at the northwest corner of Lexington
avenue and Eighty y-second street When
Lexington avenue was cut through some
years ago, a strip of land five feet wide and
one hundred feet deep was all that was left
of a certain lot belonging to a person who
did not own the next lot on the street. The
strip, while of little value by ITSELF would be
valuable to the person owning the adjoining
lot on Eighty-second street, because it would
not only enable him to build house five
feet wider, but would give him windows all
along the side of his house on Lexington
avenue. The two owners, however, could
not agree as to terms, and a house was
erected on the lot adjoining the narrow strip.
The owner of the latter had nothing to do
but to abandon his lot or to build house
five feet wide upon it. The latter course was
perhaps adopted because such course would
shut up all the side windows of the neigh
boring building, and considerably reduce its
value.
The new building, which has been finished
for some months, is therefore five feet wide,
one hundred feet deep and four stories high.
1t is divided into two houses, each fifty feet
long, and the entrance doors are, of course,
on the avenue, as there is no room for door
at either end of the building. The law
allows building at corner of street to
have projecting bay windows along the side,
and taking advantage of this circumstance,
the architect has managed to plan house
which, while peculiar in inside appearance,
and probably very uncomfortable to live in,
may find tenants. Without these bay win
dOws or square projections running from the
oIo&s 10 kha hox,
been possible to build house at all, for no
room would have been wider than three feet.
Each house has, therefore, two bay windows,
in one of which are the stairs and in the
other one room about eight feet wide by fif-
teen feet long upon each floor The long
passage between the stair-well and the room
is about three feet wide. Each house con-
tains kitchen eight by fifteen feet, and four
rooms, each Of the same size, but on different
floors. There are also ingeniously placed
closets at each end of the building and under
the stairs. Both houses are unoccupied.
One is offered for rent at $500 year.
If the object of the builder of these extra
ordinary houses was simply to shut out the
light from his neighbors building, he would
probably have accomplished the same end at
much less expense by adopting George
Kemp's device of sheet-iron shields. Mr..
Kemp did not wish the occupants of the
building in the rear of his house, at No. 72O
Fifth avenue, to overlook his premises, and
so he built an iron scafolding in his back
yard and placed iron shields against the OBJ
noxious openings, shutting out air and ligh1
as completely as brick wall would have
done. This arrangement has been for years
the sorce of no little comment from the
neighbors and passers by.

Daniel Webster's Dying Words.

A correspondent of the Boston Post gives,
upon the authority of gentleman intimately
related to Daniel Webster's family, some ex
plantations of the circumstances attending
the utterances of the great expounder's last
words. He says that in answer to question
from an attendant at the bedside of Webster
one of his physicians said in substance:
'You may give him spoonful of stimu-
liant at = o'clock; another at - o'clock; an
other at = o'clock, and if he still lives, an
oGher at = o'clock" These directions were
followed with exactness until the arrival of
the hour last mentioned, when the attend
antsI were undecided about administering
another dose. 1t was in the midst of their
doubts that the dying statesman partly
raised his head and feebly remarked: II
