Tho Crown of Womanh hood.

Tho Crown OF WOm0nhoOd.
The following paragraphs are words
of wisdom from Ruskin that will interest
women:
"And whether consciously or MOI,
women must be, in many a heart,
enthroned. There is no putting by that
crown; queens they must always be
queens to their lovers, queens to their
husbands and their sons, queens of high
er mystery to the world outside, which
bows itself, and will forever bow. before
the myrtle-crown and the stainless scep-
ter of womanhood. But alas! they are
too often idle and careless queens, grasp
ing at majesty in the least things, while
they abdicate itin the greatest, leaving
misrule and violence to work their will
among men in defiance of the power
which, coming straight from the Prince
of all peace, the wicked among them
betray, and the good forget.

to her as may enable her to understand,
and even to aid, the work of men. 1t is
OF no moment. as a matter of pride or
perfectness in herself, whether she
knows many languages or one; but it is
of the utmost that she should be able to

worth and dignity that she should be

Boston supports 800 insane. says Mr..

This is frigttful! Insanity has in
creased 40 per cent. in decade and
most Of the cases are incurable. What
ever the individual cause may be, the
fact remains that Uric Acid blood sets
the brain on fire, destroys its tissues,
and then comes some form of fatal lun-
acy.
Nothing is so pitiable as mind dis
eased. Most brain troubles begin in
the stomach; then if the blood is filled
with uric acid, caused by failure of
kidney action, and the consequent de-
struction of the blood life-albumen-
you have the fuel and the flame and a
brain in full blaze rs when one raves,
or in slow combustion, as in milder
forms of insanity. Rev. f. ID. Hop
kins, of St. Johnsbury, w., few years
ago was confined in an asylum. H.
took terrible cold while aiding in put
ting out fire IN a neighbours burning
house, and for twenty-five years thai
cold was slowly filling his blood with
uric acid and finally tho deadly work
was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warner safe cure
and recovered. That was three years
ago and having ridden his blood Of all
surplus uric acid, he has remained well
until this day.
1t is indeed terrible thing to lose
ones mind, but it is more terrible
thing to suffer such condition when il
can be so easily prevented.

Ham was glad there was day left for
man to rest and recuperate. But just

ANIarvelOuS Cash Box.

In New Orleans, La, there is now
on exhibition novelty IN the shape of
a fare and change box for street rail-
way cars. The box generally resembles
in external appearance an ordinary
railway fare box, but differs from it
materially in its workings. 1t not only
serves as depository for the customa-
~ nicAsls paid by the passengers for
transportation, but it also makes
change. There are two openings in
the top of the box. one being for the
reception of fares and the other for the
making of change. 1t is this money
changing apparatus that is an interest
ing and most valuable novelty. For
instance, if the passenger desiring to
pay fare should offer silver dollar to
be changed he would not hand it to the
driver but would drop it into the box
through an opening marked ''change."
The dollar would go into some inner
recess, but at the same moment half
dollar, a quarter dollar, two dimes and
a nickel would appear in a small basin
in reach of the passenger, who would
thus get his change and then drop his
nickel into the place for fares. If a
half dollar should be offered for change
a quarter dollar. two dimes and
a nickel would be returned by
the ingenious mechanism. If a quarter
dollar were offered the change would
come out in the form of two dimes and
a n 0En1 ,,,t ;,@ s., oL
would bring forth two nickcls. If by
mistake a nickel should be dropped in
to the change hopper it would not dis
turb the interior arrangements, but
would pass through into the basin and
be returned to the passenger.
Of course this automatic mechanism
would not give change for bank notes,
as the principles of its operations de-
pend IN the weight and sizes of the
coins which: on entering the box, pass
through holes proportioned to their
respective sizes, and then press upon
levers which open other oritices and
set free the corresponding coins which
are to come out in change.
There are also on the side of the box,
under glass, four dial plates fitted with
hands or indices, which mark the
amounts of money in the change de-
partment. When car starts out the
change box must be furnished with a
proportion of coins of the denomina-
tons mentioned, and as change is made,
and as these are successfully dropped
out, Others must be put in their places.
These dial plates show what is on hand
and obviate the necessity of examining
the interior of the mechanism.

Oh! wonderful stream Is tho river Time.
As it runs through the realm Of tears.
With q faultless rhythm and . musical
rhyme,
And q broader sweep and a surge sublim,
As it blends in the ocean of years!
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of
And the summers like buds between,
And the years in the sheaf, how they come
On the rivers breast, with it, ebb and its
flow,
As it glides In the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up tho r1ver of Time.
Where the softest OF airs are playing.
There's cloudless sky aud tropical cline
Ana song as sweet as vesper chime,
AUD eJunes with the roses are straying.
And the name of this isle IL the "Long age, "
~, AUD we bury our treasures there;
There are brows OF beauty and bosoms Of
| snow,
There are heaps Of dust-oh We loved them
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
There are parts of an infants prayer,
There's lutte unswept and . harp without
! SCrl0gS,
There are broken vows and pieces Of rings,
Aud the garments our loved ones used to
! wear.
There are hands that are waved whom the
fairy shore
BY the fitful mirage is lifted inair,
And We sometimes hear through tho tur
| bulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in tho days gone
! before,
When the wind down the river was fair
Oh! remembered for aye be that blessed

And when evening glows with its beautiful

And our eyes arc closing In slumber,

May the greenwood of soul be in sight.

Lead-P Poisoning at Sea.

The Paris Municipal Laboratory has
received a report concerning an cpl
demic of lead-poisoning which recently
happened on a Norwegian vessel coming
from Cadiz. Several of the crew exhib-
tied symptoms of lead-poisoning, and
the vessel was put into port in New
York. The Captain and several of his
men were sent to the hospital at Coney
Island. Two men died; the others re-
covered, after suffering severely. The
affair was investigated, and it was ascer-
tanned that impure drinking water was
the cause of the catastrophe. The ships
tank was painted inside with red lead;
the water became of q yellowish color.
The Municipal Laboratory has issued a
recommendation to landlords and all
persons who have cisterns or water
reservoirs hat resin or tar, dissolved in
t~urpentine or benzine, should,,be used for
painting them. 1t appears that in Paris
and its suburbs a great many cisterns
arc painted with pigment containing
lead.-Br7tiSb Medical Journal

A HINDOO FUNERAL.
The Searching and Ultimate Submerging OF
a m Corpse.

The Searching and Ultimate Submerging OF
a Woman's Corpse.
A bed of straw was spread close by
the bank, and the corpse laid upon it.
The body was wrapped from head to
foot in a red cotton rag. Then more
straw was piled upon the body and a
very little wood upon that, after which
one of the relatives touched a lighted
match to the straw. The mourners sat
down upon their heels in a group tc
windward of the pile, and chatted So
cially while they watched it burn. The
wind was strong, and it burned tiercely
for about three minutes, n then very
moderately for about ten more, by the
end of which time the fuel was all con-
sumed. Then the mourners arose, dip
ped water from the river and drowned
out the fire; the corpse lay there almost
intact, and we all saw that it was a
woman. The limbs were drawn up
and the face c%ontorted, the hair was
burned away, and the entire remains
were black and hideous, yet only the
skin and hair were burned. Presently
one mourner put a stout stick under the
neck, another put another stick under
the hips, and at the word the carcass
was tumbled over the edge of the bank.
and fell into the water with a loud
splash. Afew yards further down it re-
appeared at the surface for a moment;
upon which one of the cremators reached
out with his stick and pushed it under,
after which we saw it no more. Not
more than ten yards below that we saw
the heads of two large gaviais that
floated at the surface, watching the pro-
ceedings with evident interest.-IaOo

Cause for Rejoicing,

CrNcINNAT1.-The Times Star says: ga
remarkable discovery made last winter is
attracting widespread interest. As it in
wolves a most important question-that Of
public health-it is being discussed by emf
nent physicians and public men. 1t is
shown conclusively that throat and lung
troubles can be cured without resorting to
the use of morpnia or opium-especially
dangerous in the case of children as ar
resting development, and poisoning the
system. The Governor of Maryland and
all the officials of that State endorse the
remedy; the State chemist of Delaware
p%ronounces it the purest and most effect
i've, and hospitals and charitable institu-
tons in Philadelphia nj other cities use
it with remarkable results. The remedy,
which is only twenty-five cents a bottle, is
Red Star Cough Cure. 1t is purely vege-
table; it contains no poison or narcotics,
and is a positive cure.

The utility of tears to animals in
general, and particularly to those which
are exposed much to the dust, such as
birds, which live amidst the wind, is
easy to understand; the eye would soon
be dirtied and blocked up had not Ma
ture provided this friendly, ever flowing
| stream to wash and refresh it. A very
little fluid is necessary to keep the eye
always clear and clean; but here again
| we must admire the wondrous mechan-
ism that works the human body, for it is
| to be observed that when, through
| some accident or hurt. the eyeball has
need of more water than usual to cleanse
it, Nature at once turns on a more
abundant supply of tears.-Western Ru-
