IN MEMOKIAM.


Death stealthily entered your household,
Took that dear little lamb Of the fold;
And carried her in his arms DER tide
To that beautiful land on the other side.
While here she was your little flower:
Scattering sunshine and pleasure every hour,
But God needed her in that land above
To fill your heavenly home with love.
Of you she received the tenderest care,
For of earths suffering she had a large share
But now her tears are all wiped away
In that beautiful land of brighter day.
Your hearts here do nearly break,
While she in heaven to new beauties awake
She is safe from sorrow, sin and grief,
In this thought you should find relief.
She treads the paths of purest gold
Her angel form you shall behold;
When you hear the welcome the Father'll give
To those who on earth for Jesus live.
Yes, Susie is keeping her angel watch for you
When to all of earth soTows you bid adieu:
God ard the angels are caring for her to-day
In that beautiful land not far away.
She'll grow to new beauties, and heavenly
powers,
Advancing, and leaning each moment and
hours
OF God, and of nature, of heaven and earth
Oh yes it is glorious, this heavenly birth.
Yours in Sympathy,
Rose Higbie.

speaks for itself:
"Long before 7 o'clock every seat
in the Opera House was filled, near
ly 1000 persons being in the house,
and the ushers stood at the entrance
turning back the stream of people
who arrived after that time. From
500 to 1000 were in this way sent
home because there was no room
for them inside. DR.. James Hedley

say that our citizens have heard
nothing like his address for many

Engagement Rings.

The owners of stones for engage
ment rings are thus regarded in the
great world which occupies itself with
such small matters of taste and super
stition The diamond, Of course, is
good all the year around. If it is suifi-
GENTLY pure it will warn the wearer of
the treachery of his beloved object by
breaking at the least blow of steel
The pearl is fashionable, and also pre-
ferred by ideal poetic lovers, but it has
a frightful secret influence, impelling
TO treachery or death. The ruby, by
its color or brilliancy, is the image of
eternal flame, and is the best possible
omen. The sapphire means tender
ness and truth. In Poland the stones
are chosen according to the month in
which the engagement is made. The
ruby for July, the pearl for May, the
sapphire for January. For March the
turquoise, which will turn green upon
the Inconsistency Of the giver. The en-
erald, in June, is for fidelity, and Rus
slams expect always to have one emer-
aid among the wedding gifts from the
husband, as it is the omen of certain
happiness. San Francisco Argonaut.

An Appetite for Mice.

Some wonderful stories are being
told about one of Bridgeport's charac-
tiers, fellow named Joe Lander.
whose life has been spent in rowing all
over the globe. Years ago Joe shipped
before the mast on Norwegian bark
bound from Lisbon to South America,
and was shipwrecked on barren is
land which forms one of the group Of
the Azores. With two others he
reached the land. There they found
nothing but shellfish on which to cx-
ist. When these were exhausted the
sailors agreed to swim back to the
vessel and endeavor to obtain provi-
sions. Joa was the only one who
reached the wreck, the others having
become exhausted and gone down in
the sea. Joe managed to climb on
board that portion of the ship that
was out of water, where he sank down
completely worn out. He lay in a
stupor for some time, and upon re-
turning to consciousness he was covered
with rats and mice which had been
driven from their usual haunts by the
waves. In his desperation he seized one
of the mice and swallowed it without
the process of mastication. 1t pro-
duced peculiar sensation, but brought
renewed life, and as the story goes, he
lived on mice for long time, as all
provisions of the vessel were under
water and out of reach. A passing
vessel finally relieved him from his
Imprisonment and landed him in
Liverpool. Afterward he drifted to
this country and engaged in various
means Of making livelihood. Now
he is in the employ of the Housatonic
Railroad. His duties are to clean the
cars at the yard and in the houses in
the city. 1t is asserted that he still
INDUCES his strange appetite whenever
opportunity offers. Hurd's grain ele-
walton is infested with mice and affords
many meals to old Joe, it is said. The
little animals are caught by the en-
ployes and taken to Joe, who devours
one to satisfy his appetite, and stores
the remainder away between his fan
mel shirt and his body until hungry
again, when he will draw forth two
or three and swallow them without a
wink. 1t is further related that the
eldest son inherits in measure the
curious appetite of his queer old father.

Water as a Railway Motive Power.

A newspaper correspondent, writing
from Switzerland, tells Of curiou
railway as follows "'The picturesque
and practical are often curiously utter
mixed. CLEAN few particulars of a
funicular railway which connects Ter
ritet (Chillon) and Glion. The rail
way, which is on steep incline, some
think after the style of the one up
Mount Vesuvius, commences at an
angle of 80 degrees and soon increases
to 81 degrees. 1t is single line with
loop as passing place half way.
There are two carriages on the line,
enc Of which ascends while the other
descends. The ascending carriage is
drawn by the force of gravity of the
one which is descending, the latter be-
ing weighted by reservoir placed un-
derneath being filled with water. The
reservoir is emptied as soon as the car

vehicles are connected with each other
by means of wire cable, which pass
cs over a wheel at the summit of the
incline. BY the passenger remark
able Illusion is experienced. Trees,
huts, houses, rocks, all seem to be
bent back, as though by some enchant-
ment They are apparently standing
out of the perpendicular, and one can
scarcely help wondering that they do
not topple over. The deception is due
to the seats of the carriages, which are
constructed at such an angle that, not
withstanding the steepness of the gra-
dent, the occupant preserves his ordi-
nary upright sitting posture. The line
is 743 yards long, and the difference
between the level and its base and
that of its summit is 984 feet"

POPULAR SCIENCE.

: SCARCELY quarter of q century ago
there were plenty of productive oyster
beds in the waters Of Norway. At the
present day the oyster is very scarce, as
the banks have been overishcd and
neglected.
Hydrophobia is said to be unknown
among the dogs of Australia, which Cir
cumstance is supposed to explain the &C.
ton of New South Wales and other
colonies in forbidding the importation of
dogs from Europe and America.
From experiments made upon the
pulse aud temperature as affected by
smoking, it has been found that the rate
of both is increased. Let the average
temperature of non-smokers be represen-
ted by 1000, then that of moderate
smokers would be 1.00S, and while the
heart among the former class was max
ing 1000 beats, in the latter there would
be l, $50 in the same space of time. This
quickening in tie action of the heart is
considered as dangerous symptom.
The natives of the Chloe islands make
use of curious natural barometer, to
which, from its having been first noticed
by the captain of an Italian corvette, the
name "Barometre Araucano' has been
given. This novel weather guide is the
shell of a crab, one of the Anomura,
probably of the genus Lithodcs. 1t is
peculiarly sensitive to atmospheric
changes 1t has color nearly white, in
dry weather; but as soon as wet weather
approaches small red spots are exhibited,
varying in number and intensity with the
amount of moisture in the atmosphere.
IN the rainy season it is completely red.
A correspondent of the Scientific
american says that wheat is the first kind
of grain which suffers from the ravages
of the chinch bug. He has seen, how
ever, a fair-sized piece of corn ~ho)ly
ruined by it. The pest thrives only in
dry, hot weather; in wet season it can
do no harm. 1t follows, then, that any
means which can keep the ground about
the grain roots cool and moist will prove
inimical to the bugs, and the clearing
up of refuse and the rolling of the ground
have preventative effect. Some farmers,
he says, have protected their fields quite
efficiently from outside invasion by SOW
ing Hungarian grass around the outer
edges for about rod in width.

The Wonderful Secret.

Once upon time there was a king
who had little boy whom he loved
very much. So he took a great deal of
pains to make him happy,
He gave him beautiful rooms to live
in, and pictures and toys and books
without number. He gave him a
graceful, gentle pony, that he might
ride when he pleased, and row-boat
IN lovely lake, and servants to wait
lpon him wherever he went. He also
provided teachers who were to give him
The knowledge of things that would
make him good and great.
But for all this the young prince was
not happy. He wore frown wher-
ever he went, and was always wishing
Cor something that he did not have.
AT length one day magician came
70 the court. He saw the scowl on
he boys face. and he said to the king:
81 can make your son happy, and
turn his frown into smiles. But you
must pay me a great price for telling
Nim the secret"
"All right" said the king" what
ever you ask l will give"
So the price was agreed upon and
paid, and then the magician took the
boy into private room. He wrote
something with a white substance
upon a piece of white paper. Next
he gave the boy candle, and told him
to light it and hold it under the paper,
and then see what he could read. Then
ie went away.
The boy did as he been told, and the
white letters on the paper turned into
beautiful blue.
They formed these words:
''Do q kindness to some one everp
day."
The prince made use of the secret.
and he became the happiest boy in the
realm.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT
Flowers In Paris.

The London World says: A new
fashion, imported from America, has
found favor in certain Partisan draw
ing-rooms. AS the guests arrive, in
response to an invitation for a soiree
dansante, they are met at the door by
ayoung lady, who gives q small bou-
quet to each person, and insists that
the flower shall be attached to the but
ton-hole of the gentleman or the cor
set of the lady. Each gentleman Is
then expected to seek out the lady who
wears a nosegay similar in respect to
his own, and he thereupon. after the
customary salutations, becomes her
partner for the rest of the evening.
This compulsory coupling, when skill
fully organized, favors many intrignes.
promotes matchmaking, and affords a
good opportunity for the display OF
spite, by bringing unsympathetic per-
cons together.

Whole families of Swiss peasants, in
Guiding the man of the, house, his
wife, sons and buxom daughters, are
employed together at hand looms. a
checked taffeta under q dollar will u.s.
ually outwear seve al silks which range
in price from one to two dollars yard
and are made as silks at this price
usually are, by the less durable pro-
cesses of the power-loom, where the
weaver never stops to tie threat, and
the delicate fibre of tho silk must be
tightly twisted to bear the strain of the
rougher handling of wholesale work.
A goods equally as strong as taffeta
is India foulard, sometimes called
handkerchief silk. These goods are
woven in a country where the heather
workmen have not yet learned the
clever shams which are practised in
the Christian lands. All foulard silks
are dyed and stamped after they are
woven, except in the case Of pongee
silk, which is the natural color of the
reeled silk-web. French foulards are
an inferior machine-goods, and are
mixed with large quantities of "chap-
Pc or short silk, which is rough and
liable to break apart at slight strain.
Short silk differs from long silk
which is the continuous thread spun by
the worm and reeled off at the filature
in being composed of the waste of
the filature. The silk which is broken
or tangled in Keeling, the rough silk on
the outside Of every cocoon, and the
six of perforated cocoons from which
the moth has emerged, are all torn
apart and spun again by artificial
means, like cotton or flax. Chappe is
at best species Of silk "shoddy," and
is often mixed with cotton or some
other vegetable fibre to strengthen it.
Large quantities of foulard goods are
made in this country which are similar
to the French goods. The durable
"Louisine" summer silks are woven
with an even weft and wool, and are
composed of raw or half-boiled silk,
part of the natural glue of the cocoon
being left in the goods.
