IA bud of life folded i'll leaves and love
The little eve lamb nesting by our side,
The sweetest chord upon our harp of praise;
The pearl among His gifts who gave us all;
Alas clouds gathered quickly, and the storm
Fell without warning on our tender bud,
Scattering its leaflets; and the star was
drenched
In tears; the lamp burnt dimly unawares
The little lamb was faint The weary dove
Cowerd its young head beneath its dropping
wing;
The chord was loosened ON our harp;
And in our heart we heard orr Father, saying,
will We return the gift? The voice was low
The answer lower still-'Thy win be done"

Mortality on the Panama Canal.

An engineer who had been employed
on the Panama canal said to a New York
Times representative: There are 10, 600
men employed on the canal, distributed
all the way from Colon or Aspinwall TO
Panama. The distance by rail is not
over thirty miles between these two
points. / was a machinist and engineer
and made, by working overtime, $3.50
per month, but | could not stand the
climate. The wages for skilled workmcn
is $3.50 per day and for laborers So to
81 per day. The latter are recruited
among the natives and runaway sailors,
who will leave $18 month and take
chances of sickness and death for the 81
or 81 per day. You ask about the NOR
tally. Well, that is frightful. Hun
dreds die monthly, and the hospitals are
constantly filled with the sick. 1t is said
that nine out of ten patients who are
sent TO these hospitals die there. If the
dead man has money or influence, he is
put into pine box and buried; other
wise his body is dumped into pit and
quicklime thrown over him. There is an
Old saying that every tie of the Panama
railroad represents tombstone for some
poor unfortunate. Now, it is true that
every foot of eXcavated ground symbol.
ICES a grave. The canal is twelve feet
deep and from eighty to ninety feet wide.
The rains, which are abundant. not only
interfere with the work, but often causes
the banks to cave in and ill up the canal.

Scenes in Hawaii.

A correspondent Of the Providence
.Iou1Hdl writes from the Sandwich Islands
Among the cariosities Of Western Kauai
are the famous barking sands. This
phenomena of sound is attributed to the
atuition of the angular grains of sand
against each other, when the mass is in
slight movement. 1t is especially no
ticeable in dry times, and scarcely per
Geptible after a rain Happily one may
see the thing, or rather hear it, on a
small scale. 1t is common for those re-
siding in the region to keep bag of the
sand at home. When this is taken in
the hands and reversed repeatedly, al
lowing the sand to fall, first to one end
of the bag and then to the other faint
sound results, though it requires some
Imagination to liken it to a bark or a
yelp. The same phenomenon may be OBJ
served at Manchester-by the Sea. in Mas
sachusetts, and other localities in the
United States. On pedestrian excur-
sion We saw one of the grass houses now
so rare. 1t was no hut, but the grass
was neatly braided in large strands. Its
green had changed by age to a silvery
tint which was very pretty. The int
rior was lined with rushes, and in this
climate one could not ask more com
Portable abode. The principal room was
q small shop, where we tarried to rest q
little and refresh ourselves with glass
of mineral water, which we were sur
prised to find in this out -of-the way
place.

HEALTH HINTS.

Sprains and bruises call for an appli-
cation of the tincture of arnica.
Pains in the side are most promptly re-
lieyed by the application of mustard.
Lemon-juice in water lemonade with
out sugar. has been successfully used as
local application for relief of pain Of
cancer.
Equal parts of chloroform, camS hor
and chloralhydrate make a good mixture
for local application for the relief of
neuralgia.
Simple fractures may be adjusted by
almost any one. Get the limb as near as
possible in the natural position, and then
send for a doctor. There is no great
urgency in such cases.
Cure for fclons: Saturatc a bit Of
grated wild turnip, the size of bean,
with turpentine, and apply it to the af-
fcctcd part. 1t will relieve pain at once,
and destroy the felon in twelve hours.
Avoid purgativcs and strong physics,
as they not only do no good, but are
positively hurtful. Pills may relieve for
the time, but they seldom cure. Stomach
bitters are a snare, and only create de-
sire for stimulants.
Eat only such things as agree with
you and not too much at time. BY
needing the warnings of your stomach
many doctor bills and even undertakers,
too, may be avoided. Give children
plenty of milk and bread, graham or
oatmeal crackers and good, ripe fruit.
They will not only thrive on this diet,
but keep healthy.

The state department at Washington
has recently received from Consul Ather
ton, Of Pernambuco, sample OF tho
medicine now being, it is claimed, SUIT
cessfuly used in Brazil and other parts
of South America in the treatment of
cancers. The medicine and report were
officially called for by Secretary Frellng-
huysen, and in addition to the medical
testimony the consul himself says he
knows of case where this medicine has
cured cancer in the breast. The woman
is about her work every day, and APP
pears, he says, to be cured. The remedy
has already been tested in Liverpool
cancer hospital, bat with what result the
state department has not yet been ad-
viscd. Accompanying the consul's re-
port is one from DR.. Bandeiro, surgeon
at the Pedro hospital, Pernambuco, who
says that it has been known but about
four years, and is called alveloz. 1t
gives, he says, splendid results i'll the
treatment of ulcers of different kinds,
but in liberated cancers it has not given
the result that many doctors hoped. The
plant which yields the liquid grows
spontaneously in the whole north OF
Brazil. The fresh juice becomes coagu-
lated very soon, but chemists have sue
ceeded, they think, in keeping it liquid
and unaterablc by treating it with sail
cylic acid, which does not modify its
action. 1t is due to Secretary Freling-
huyscn to says that he has not forgotten
the "Cundurango job which the state
department was made accessory to twelve
or thirteen years ago. The remedy, II
etiicacious, will be an article of com
merce as much as cinchona or Peruvian
bark, and the state department offers the
information at hand solely in the inter
ests of humanity.-Neeo York Herald.
