The Lepers.

A San Francisco doctor, named
ODonnell, proposes to come east and
exhibit a number of Chinese lepers.
About the time the doctor gets on
this side of the Rocky Mountains,
into the states with his leprous com
pany, he will be put under arrest.
Chinese immigration of healthy peo-
pie is a severe infiiction. but when it
comes to passing round the leprous
people of China, as a show, or for
whatever other purpose it is an in
Fiction that should not be submitted
to, longer than it will take to arrest
and send the lepers back whence
they came. There is no law under
which the doctor can be sent back
to China with the leprous crowd that
he has associated himself with as
Snowman, but to China he should 90.
The French pride themselves on
their great desire to be a free peo-
pie, and to accord to other people
the same freedom that they ask for
themselves. That they do not al
ways practice what they preach, finds
illustration in the refusal of the sew
eral city governments of France to
permit the Catholics to indulge in a
day of prayer, fast, and procession
to stop the ravages of Cholera. If q
Catholic, prayerful procession could
do no good in stopping cholera, it
could do no harm. 1t night have
done great good in soothing the
minds of people that are frightened
By the cholera Doctors say that
fright gives cholera to many people
WHY then not allow the Catholics
to pray as much as they please, and
have as many professions as they
please. if by such instrumentality the
panicky state of the mind can be re-
moved

There is no point about which the
farmer is so apt to be in error, the
american DGiryn1Ga says, as he is in
his calculation of the temperature of
wells and springs on his farm. He al
ways thinks they are colder in summer
and warmer in winter than they really
are The only possible means of APP
proximating to the correct tempera-
ture is to put a thermometer in the
water, testing for the greatest heat
along in September, and for the great
est cold any time after January | and
before warm weather sets in. Many a
man does his milk and butter great
injustice by over-estimating the cooling
power of his spring or well water.

NuptiaI Fancies.

Marriages take place at all kinds OF
places-from caprice, love of notoriety
and sometimes from untoward eircum
stances. Recently couple were united
IN a railroad car; the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal
VOWS have been spoken; people have
been married on horseback, in towers
and balloons The writer once partici-
pated in wedding on the piazza of a
summer cottage on one of the Thousand
Islands, the moonlight glinting the
majestic river that flowed beneath. and
browning the fair bride with sueh
splendor as the kings daughters might
well envy. Niagara has witnessed the
marriage VOWS, and behind the bridal
veil OF Minnehaha Falls many couple
have been made one. A Brooklyn min
lister several years ago married a couple
from his chamber window, telling them
TO come round in the morning and SION
the necessary papers. The making out
OF the preliminary papers, if the clergy
man u q man of tact, is usually done
after the ceremony. tor not seldom is
there . marked hesitancy on the part
OF tho contracting parties in answering
che fatal question of age. Many times
have the eyes of the bridegroom opened
wide as the tally of years counted some
half dozen more In the presence Of
the clergyman than in the prenuptial
condolences of private conversation. and
though the records are attested as true.
TO the best of the signer's knowledoe

bride. Strange accidents sometimes
happen in the preparation of the certifi-

Then hurries away to know mammas wishes.

Tie HonlesicA Parrot.

Poll Parrot belonged to lady in De-
troit. She lived in q great house on
Woodward Avenue.
Polly was a fayorite. All the nice
little children on the avenue knew and
loved Polly. On their way to school
they would stop to say: .sGood morn
ing, Mistress Polly aud to offer her
bit of cake or cracker from their lunth-
baskets. For these friendly Offices
they were amply repaid by the quaint
sayings which were sure to follow from
the glib tongue OF Polly.
Sometimes in answer to cheerful
GOOD morning. Mistress Poily!n the
bird would drawl out, 9 Good MORN
ing Polly sleepy" For thenext i
might be. Good morning don't
bother a bird. =
Polly's mistress lost the bulk Of her
fortune, and went to live in another city
When she was ready to move, 4
change came over Polly. She grew
moody and silent. To her little friends
greetings she would scarce deign
reply.
At her new home her mood changed
but, alas not for the better. She now
complained all the time; and the burden
of her cry was ever the same: Poly
wants to go to Detroit-poor Poly
wants to go to Detroit"
So sad was the birds moan, that
lady who lived across the street had tc
close the front doors and windows Of
her house and retire to therear tliatshe
might not hear it.
For fourteen days the poor creature
sent forth her pitiful wall. She refused
food, and died with the half-fnished
petition upon her tongue: Poor Poly
wants to go = - our Little Ones.

Juvenile Labor I'm Factories.

New Jersey has for thirty-three years
had a law in its Statute books prohibit
ing the employment of children under
ten years of age in factories; but the
law has been dead letter, and over
$4,000 children, large proportion of
them under ten years of age, are now
at work in the seven thousand manu-
factories and workshops of that State
In 1888 the Legislature authorized the
employment of an inspector to inquire
into the condition of the children and
report what measures were necessary
to enforce thelaw He has made the
necessary Investigations, and he testi-
hes that wherever he has found children
employed in labor beyond their wears
and strength he has been shocked by
unerring indications of physical and
mental ruin and moral degradation.
Not only were they dwarfed and stunted
in body and prematurely old, but alb
normally ignorant and precociously i'm
moral. The direct tendency of the en-
ployment of children in factories is to
depreciate the value of adult labor and
reduce the earnings of parents who are
able and willing to work.
These remarks are true of child labor
the world over. 1t is to the credit of
the Tories of England that they sue
ceeded in passing factory acts putting
stop to the work of children. as it was
running the race of English working
people. The labor of the father ought
TO be enough to support the wife and
children, -Dsmorest's Monthly.

Domestic Pond Lilies.

At the New York State Experiment
station there is barrel cut down to con-
venient size. and then set in hole dug
in the earth upon corner Of the lawn.
The top of the barrel is just level with
the surface of the lawn. 1t has about
four inches of river mud in the bottom,
in which were planted few roots of the
common white pond lily. The barrel
was then filed with water, and is kept
full from faucet in the aqueduct pipe,
the water being turned on as often as
necessary. The barrel has been beauti-
full miniature pond OF white lilies all
through the season. In the fall, after
the weather gets cold, the barrel or tub
is lifted out and carried to the cellar,
where it is protected from freezing, and
where the roots Of the lilies will be kept
in conditions similar to what they would
be surrounded with in their natural state.
Nothing can be more charming in the
way of flowers on lawn than a small
pond of water lilies blooming daily the
whole summer through OF course the
barrel must be set where teams and per-
sons would not walk into it by night or
day. If the tub is tight one, the
trouble Of keeping it supplied with water
will not be great upon any lawn. .-Ns,c

shortsioh,ed do.ss.

A writer in the London Times claims
the cause of mYopia to be the applica-
tion of the eyes to near objects; in other
words, the pouring over books and
handicrafts. When the eyes are directed
to near object, they are turned in or
rendered convergent, so that the axes Of
vision meet upon it, and this position is
maintained by muscular effort which,
if continued, alters the shape of the eye
in the direction Of the elongation. Mani
testify, the alteration will be most easily
effected dnring youth, when the tissues
OF the b,dy, including those Of the eye,
are comparatively lax and distensible,
and will also be most easily effected
among those young people whose tissues
are exceptionally weak, by reason of in
adequate food Or Of unhealthy descent
or surroundings Badly lighted schools
are the great manufactures of myopia,
the bad light compelling approximation
Of the books or other materials Of study.

In several cases whales have been
known to utterly demolish vessels; and,
perhaps. the most remarkable case is that
Of the ship Essex, chronicled by DR..
Cheever. The Essex was an American
full-rigged ship, hailing from Nantucket.
and on one of her voyages that proved to
be her last they sighted large school Of
whales in latitude forty degrees in the
South Pacific. Several boats were put
ont, and that steered by the mate soon
fastened to a whale, that rose under it,
however, &ad so damaged it that it was
obliged to put back to the ship. The
boat had hardly got alongside when
sperm whale that they estimated was at
least eighty-fve feet long rose alongside
of the vessel, and in a moment struck
her in the bow, going about three
miles an hour. The ship shook
90 that every man aboard was
knocked to the deck, and the masts
threatened to fall. The whale dived i'm
mediatelY, and appeared about two hun
dred yards ahead OF the vessel, where it
lashed the water for several moments as
if undergoing great agony; then, how
ever, it seemed to be seizes with de-
sire for revenge, as it suddenly started
ahead, increasing its speed, and finally
striking the vessel head on as before.
The coming together of such heavy bod
les was fatal, as the bow of the vessel
was completely crushed in. She had al
ready commenced to settle from the first
blow, but the second threw her on her
beam ends, and in ten minutes from the
time she was struck she went to the bot
tom. The crew had taken to the boats,
and were thus left in the open ocean with
limited supply of food. Their hard
ships and suherings are described as ter
rible.
Some of them finally reached a desert
island called Ducies. There was small
supply Of water here, but nothing but
gulls and other sea-fowl to eat. The
majority Of the crew soon decided to
leave, three preferring to take their
chances on the island. They have never
been heard Of since The others at
tempted to row to the island Of Juan
Fernandez, over two thousand miles
away. The mates boat-was picked up,
however, by the Indian, Of London,
ninety-three days later, all the crew hav-
ing died but three. The captains boat
was picked up by the ship Dauphin, OF
Nantucket, with only two men alive, and
these had only been saved as were the
members Of the Greely party, BY eating
their dead companions Out of the en-
tire crew of twenty, five only were saved
to tell the most tragic story ever asso-
ciated with the whaling interest.-Cin-

Shakasneara and Death.

There are in Shakespeare's plays about
ninety deaths, taking place either on the
stage or behind the scenes, Of important
personages. 1t might be increased by
soldiers and attendants who were killed
by the way. The modes Of death are
very various, and yet not quite all which
we might naturally anticipate. Cold
steel (the dagger or the sword) accounts
for about two-thirds Of the whole;
twelve persons die from old age or
natural decay, in some cases hastened by
the trying circumstances Of their lives; !;
seven arc beheaded; five die by poison,
including the elder Hamlet, whose symp-
toms are 50 minuteiy descdbed BY his
ghost; two Of sufocation, unless. indeed
Desdemona makes q third. two BY
strangling, ons from D fall, one Ia
drowned, three die by snake bite, and

death with sand bag,
