Damages for Communicating
WhOOping Cough.

In case recently tried in the United
States Circuit Court at New York, dam
ages were asked against a person be-
cause he had taken his children to
boarding house, when they were sick
with the whooping cough. The child
of the proprietor took the disease, and
some of the boarders left the house and
went elsewhere. The court held that
damages must be awarded for whatever
loss resulted from the bringing of the
disease to the house. The opinion of
the judge is in part as follows:
"The defendant took his children
when they had whooping cough, con-
tagious disease, to the clearinghouse
of the plaintiff to board, and exposed
her child and children of the other
boarders to it, who took it. The jury
have found that this was done without
exercising due care to prevent taking
the disease into the boarding house.
She was put to expense, care and labor,
in consequence of her child having it,
and boarders were kept away by the
presence of it, whereby she lost profits.
Words which import the charge of hav-
ing a contagious distempter are in them
selves actionable, because prudent peo-
pie will avoid the company of persons
having such distempter. The carrying
of persons infected with contagious dis
ease along public thoroughfares, SO as
to endanger the health of other travel
ers, is indictable as a nuisance.

What Makes The Wires Hum?

Most boys believe that the humming
sound made by the telegraph wires is
caused by the messages hurrying to
their destination. Most men believe
that the sound is caused by the vibra-
ton of the wind. A writer in an Aus
trian journal, however, calls attention
to the fact that one who will give close
observation to both the wire and the
sounds will find that the latter make
themselves obvious likewise when there
is a total absence of wind: and on
quiet morning in winter, when the
wires appear to be covered with frost
to the thickness of finger, they never
theless carry on lively vibrations and
signing, while the air is totally quiet.
According to this writer, therefore, the
vibrations are due, not to the wind,
but to the changes of atmospheric tenn
perature, and especially through the
action of cold, as lowering of temper
ature induces shortening of the wires
extending over the whole length of the
conductor. A considerable amount of
friction is produced on the supporting
bells, thus inducing sounds both in the
wires and the poles.

A Merchants Story.
Youths Companion.


A member of a large mercantile firm
recently gave me bit of his early ex
perience. He said:
81 was seventeen years old when l
left the country store where l had tend
ed for three years, and came to Boston
in search of a place. Anxious, of course,
to appear at the best advantage, Ispent
an unusual amount of time and solicit
tude upon my toilet, and when it was
completed l surveyed my reflection in
the glass with no little satisfaction, glan-
cling lastly and most approvingly upon
seal ring which embellished my little
finger, and my cane, very pretty af
fair, which had purchased with direct
reference to this occasion.
"My first days experience was not
very encouraging. / traversed street
after street, up one side and down an
other, without success. I fancied to-
wards the last that the clerks all knew
the moment 1 opened the door, and
that they winked ill naturedly at my
discontinue as 1 passed out. But ma
ture had endowed me with good de-
gree of persistency, and the next day l
started out again. Towards noon |
entered store where an elderly gentle
man stood talking with lady at the
door. I waited till the visitor had left
and then stated my errand. "No sir"
was the answer given in peculiar crisp
and decided manner. Possibly I look

to feel, for he added in kinder tone,

face flushed painfully. "What wish
to say is this" said he, smiling at my
embarrassment-'sIf I were in want of
a clerk, 1 would not engage a young
man who came seeking employment
with a fashy ring on his finger and
swinging fancy cane"
"For a moment mortified vanity
struggled against common sense, but
sense got the victory, and replied,
with rather a shaky voice am afraid,
sI am very much obliged to you," and
then beat hasty retreat. AS soon as |
got out of sight slipped the ring into
my pocket, and walking rapidly to the
Worcester depot left the cane in charge
of the baggagemaster "till l called for
it." That afternoon | obtained situ-
alton with the firm of which am now

John Wilkes Booth.
Philadelphia Times.

The question as to whether or not
John Wilkes Booth is dead is being
very extensively canvassed just now.
Men are swearing that they have seen
him in Havana others that he is a
preacher in Georgia, and still another
claims to have met him in Europe.
These declarations are bringing out all
sorts of suggestions as to what has be-
come of the body of the assassin of
President Lincoln. These discussions
are interesting, but will probably never
disturb the well settled fact that what
remained of Booths bodysssafter the
doctors got through with it now lies
buried in Greenmount cemetery, just
outside of Baltimore. One Of the most
ludicrous statements made in connec-
tion with this subject comes from SOL
dier of New York regiment, who
says: "One night when was on guard,
about three or four o'clock in the
morning, on the dock, l saw a naval
vessel come abreast of the arsenal.
She appeared as if she was afre with
blue and red lights and signal rockets.
Then large ships boat came to the
dock and challenged them, got the
countersign and passed them. They
went to the arsenal and brought out
Booths body and took it in the ships
boat. The boat took it to the ship
and then the ship appeared as if on fire
%H LII
down the bay. The ship returned in
a week and l asked one of the sailor
and he said that they had fired Booths
body away in a sixty four pound Col
umbian gun into the Atlantic Ocean"
The old soldier who tells this remarka-
BILE story claims to have been on duty
at the Washington Arsenal at this time
and to have assisted in the hanging of
Mrs. Surratt and the other,conspriators.

How it Afflicted Them.

Peter Brown left Brockton, Mass,
about three years ago, and last week he
returned, and just as he was strolling
down the street to his native town he
met farmer by the name of Smith, who
was not prosperous when he left, and
lived outside the town. Brown was
surprised to see the granger attired in a
dress-suit, with a silk hat, and a big
diamond pin blazing on his shirt front,
and he inquired

Give Water to Infants.

A physician of the New York Nurse
ry and Child's Hospital believes, from
his practice, that infants generally,
whether brought up at the breast or
artifcially, are not supplied with suffi-
cient water, the fluid portion of their
food being quickly taken up, and leav-
ing the solid too thick to be easily di-
gested. In warm, dry weather, healthy
babies will take water every hour with
advantage, and their frequent fretful-
ness and rise of temperature is often
directly due to their not having it. A
free supply of water, and restricting the
frequency of nursing, has been found
at the nursery to be most effectual
check in cases of incipient fever, di
minished rate of mortality and marked
reduction in the number of gastric and
intestinal complaints being attributed
to this cause. In teeth cutting water
soothes the gums, and frequently stops
the fretting and restlessness universal in
children at this period.

For "THE UNION"
HOP 4 HILL.'
BY BESSIE ALLEN.

It once was mine. These acres wide
Once filed my heart with glad, fond pride.
"Hope Hill" All, rightly named art thou,
How oftentimes has thy fair brow
Foundation been for castles high,
Mounting up to the sun-lit sky.
Oft have sought each shady nook
With congenial friend, or fav'rite book,
Often merrily climbed the hill
And roamed DER the whole wide field at will.
Long, long ago, fond fancy drew
And painted picture Of fairest hue:
vine clad cottage, in the shade
Of q pines protecting boughs that swayed
In the passing breezes to and fro
And sang paean, soft and low.
Beyond, stretch of woodland wide,
It's lofty trees the forests pride,
And in the valley just below,
Wild flowers in all luxuriance grow,
Forget-me-not and violets blue,
Buttercups, daisies, dogwood, too,
And there the subtitle, sweet perfume
Of arbutus in its perfect bloom.
Great, droning bees, for very joy
slipped till the sweetness seemed to cloy,
While wild birds chirped and sang their song
And futtered round the whole day long.
And over it all, a sky so bright
The scene was one of pure delight,
Such as Eden must have been
Fer sin and Satan entered in.
Such was the picture fancy drew
Once and placed before my view,
Dazzling and fair, but over all
Now may lethean mantle fall.
day, stranger feels thrill
Of triumph and surveys "Hope Hill"
And proudly says: "'Tis mire, all mine,"
Plants here q tree, and there vine,
ga haven when I am old twill be,
To dwell therein in harmony"
Shall the dream of day be wrecked, laid low
Or, shall the stranger, fruition know?
All what the future shall bestow,
None, save God above, can know.

Pearls.

We are never ruined by what we
want, but by what we think we want.
To be wise before the act is better
than to philosophize on it afterward.
Whenever you doubt whether an in
tended action be good or bad, abstain
from it.
If falsehood paralyzed the tongue,
whata death-like silence would prevade
society.
1t is easier for woman to defend her
virtue against men than her reputation
against women.
Hope is the only good which is com.
mon to all men those who have moth
ing more, possess hope still.

Should find my race was nearly run,
Would I have earned the glad "Well done?"-

Would go onward without fear?
Would there be time for any tear?-

Would it then be so strangely sweet,
Where loved ones wait their own to greet,

Would all the countless trials sore
Perplex me never, never more?
