discovering a strange light in your

"What do you mean ?" demanded

The Sour Folks.

The Cosmopolitan.
When the milk Of human kindness
turns sour, the acid which is produced
is one of the worst in all creation. 1t
bites and stings in every direction.
Sour folks begin the day in a bad
humor. Before anybody has a chance
to vex them, they begin to be vexed.
They come down stairs sulky and
grim, as if they had been offended or
injured. The morning salutation is
something between grunt and a
grOan. Breakfast is eaten either in
silence or else with a few grumbles
either as to the character of the eata-
bles, the perverseness of the servants,
or the unsatisfactory state of the
weather. A day thus begun is spoiled
in the beginning, and remainsspoiled,
all day.
Sour folks are continually meeting
with disasters which do not befall the
sunshiny and cherry. Somebody has
put too much salt or pepper in their
soup, and they must tell everybody
of the burden of sorrow which this
error caused. They get their toes
trodden on, their ribs elbowed, and
their feelings hurt wherever they go,
They make the most of every slight
they receive, and in telling the dis
NAL story of it, insist that the sights
were intentional and deliberate.
There is nothing magnetic about
these sour folks. People learn tt
avoid them. Their advice is no
asked, nor is their company sought
Then the sour folks wonder why they
are not wanted. They lament thei
loneliness, and think the world i
conspiring against them. So the.
become sourer and yet more sour, I'm
til their faces are worse than funerals
and their presence less desirable thai
that of a thundergust.
Oh, for a little sunshine to sweetel
these sour folks!

The Epidemic of Crime.
Rochester Democrat.

Rochester Democrat.
Whence comes this epidemic of
suicides and murder? Recent dis
cussions have named several causes.
Hon. c. H. Reeve, of Indiana,
charges it to infidel teachings-hold-
ing that hopelessness of a future state
cripples fOrtitude for bearing Iife's
ills. Another declares that suffering
from the universal business depres-
sion the cause. A third writer at
tributes it to increasing insanity, a
physician thinks much of the ten
dency is inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free-thinkers have committed sui
eide, but so have orthodox church
men. Financial straits have beset
many, but the wealthy have also Ia
ken their life.
One feature common to almost
every such crime challenges atten-
ton. Well nigh every report of sui
eide and family murder mentions the
perpetrator as having "for some time
been subjectto melancholy" Whence
comes this? All recognized medical
authorities tell us that the fire which
consumes the brain is always kindled
by arrangements of the digestion
that good digestion isimpossible with
out pure blood, and pure blood is
never known where the liver and
kidneys are out of order. Under such
circumstances, preventive should
be sought, and for this Warmers safe
cure is sovereign-a fact conceded by
the best authorities in the land, anC
it is especially commended by thu
celebrated DIR. bio Lewis.

THE DREAM OF LIFE.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

Twas but bubble-yet twas bright
And gaily danced along the stream
OF life's wild torrents in its light
OF sunbeams sparkling-like dream
OF heavens own bliss for lovel;ness-
For heetness like passing thought;
And ever OF such dreams as thee
The tissue of my line is wrought.
For l have dreamed of pleasures when
The sun of young existence smiled
Upon my hayward path, and then
Her promised sweets beguiled
But when came those sweets to sip
They turned to gail upon my lip.
And have dreamed of friendship too;
For friendships thought was made
To be mans solace in the shade
And glad him in the light, and so
fondly thought to find friend
Whose mind with mine would sweetll
blend
And as two placid streams unite
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to the sea,
So might our happy spirits be
Borne onward to eternity,
But he betrayed me, and with pain
woke to sleep and dream again.
Aud then dreamed of love, and all
The clustered visions of the past
Seemed airy nothings to the last
Bright dream. 1t threw magical
Enchantment DER existence-cast
A glory on my path so bright,
seemed to feel and breathe its light
But now that blissful dream is DER,
And have walked to dream no more.
Beyond the fartherest glimmering star
That wrinkles in the arch above,
There is world of truth and love
Which earth's vile passions never mar.
Oh could 1 snatch the eagles plumes
And soar to that bright world above,
Which Gods own holy light illumes
With glories of eternal day!
How gladly every lingering tie
That binds me down to earth I'd sever,
And leave for that blessed home on high,
This hollow.hearted world forever.

HIS OWN ROBBER.
BY GEORGE w. SYMONDS.

Mr.. John Burkley, sole proprietor
of the Burkley Bank, was being regu-
larly robbed.
The mysterious populations had eX-
tended over a period of about five
months.
The bank building was stone
structure three stories in height.
There were two entrances one in
front, which opened into the princi-
pal business room of the bank, and
one on the side, by means of which
admittance could be gained to the
upper stories, which were occupied by
the banker as dwelling.
His family was small one, con-
sisting of his daughter, Edna, a beau
tiful girl of nineteen, middle-aged
servant woman, and coachman and
man-of-all-work, who slept over the
stable.
Three clerks were employed in the
bank, although four had formerly
held positions there.
Just before the beginning of these
mysterious robberies, Edward Rad
cliffe, cashier, had been discharged.
Although of excellent character,
careful in his attention to his duties,
and in every way moral and self-re-
specting, Radcliffe had rendered HIM
self Objectionable to the banker.
He had dared to love the bankers
daughter, and upon asking for her
hand in marriage had been discharged
for his assurance.
He had no difficulty in securing an.
other position in the village as book,
keeper for the largest store one OF
thejuniOr clerks had been promoted
to his late position, and the affairs O
the bank moved on as usual.
Then it was that these mysterious
rObberies began.
Every night, at the close of bust
ness, the cash and accounts of tn,

The burglar and fireproof vault il
which the papers, money and book
of the bank were stored at night wa
of the most approved pattern.
1t stood in the rear of the mai
banking room, and had two doors
bothprovidedwith combination lock:
The key to the main door had bee
carried by young Radcliffe, and whe
he was discharged it was turned owe
to his successor. The banker alon
knew the combination of the vaul
After two or three hundred dollal
had disappeared he changed the con
bination of both locks, and too

The losses still went on, and II
money was apparently taken fro
the vault between the closing al
opening hours.
1t came to his knowledge that h
daughter and young Radcliffe we
meeting clandestinely, and in his fiji
anger he was willing to believe tn
the latter was the rObber, although

Hot Weather housekeeping

Butter needs to be kept cool as well
as fresh. To put it in salt and water
hardens it better than anything except
ice. To put it in basin that stands
in salt and water is not quite so eff
fectual, but avoids the difficulty OF
putting it actually under water.
Green vegetables soon become tlabby
and stale in hot weather owing to
evaporation from the leaves. This is
soon cured by fresh cutting the stalks
and putting them into mot UNDER
the water. Town vegetables are apt
to be in worse plight than this, for
they are stacked IN wagons or trucks,
the first to 90 in being, of course, the
last to come out, and there they heat
and ferment, and finally arrive at the
consumers houses in a state of I'M
whOlesomeness for which we know no
cure.
Fruit also ferments, and, like every
thing else, sooner in damp than IN dry
weather. Children often become Ill
from eating fruit, and so all fruit is
tabOOed, but the beginnings OF fermen-
tatiOn or decay ought to be blamed.
1t is better to keep fruit on wood, not
on a china dish, and there should al
ways be space between each, wherever
it is possible, and never more than one
layer. Ii it were practicable, it would
be better to hang fruit up instead OF
laying it on anything. Grapes hung
up in a dark cupboard can be kept for
many weeks, and they spoil in a few
days on dish. Red currants have
been preserved in the same way, but
it is not often worth while to tie each
bunch to a string-BOston Budget.

\ New Use for Electricity.

From the New York Tribune1
What Is this? ' asked a broker.
as he sauntered into a Wall
Street banking house on Saturday and
fixed his inquiring gaze on a curious
little machine from which there came
a subdued whirr and a strong current
OF air. Then he put out his hand to
investigate. There was sudden snap.
and he drew it back with three fingers
cut halfway off. While the clerks
were binding up his wounds previous
to starting him off for the family doc
tor they explained that the thing
which be saw was an electric motor.
while the part that he felt, but hadn't
seen, was an eighteen-inCh fan, making
2,2OO revolutions a minute. The
broker went home with his curiosity
satisfied, and the clerks decorated the
machine with huge Placar1 Hands
OFT. There are now over fifty OF these
fans IN use in the down town district
alone, the stOck-exchange and most of
the leading banking houses having
them. The rent for a machine Is 81

The Use of Sunflower.s

This plant is a vigorous grower, and
has been extolled as a preventive OF
malariaI diseases. The seed affords
excellent food for hens and also for
horses. 1t is said that there is no
kind of feed that will keep horses in
health, give them a sleek appearance
and make them lively and spirited
like the seed OF the sunflOwer, feeding
half pint night and morning. 1t is
particularly recommended for giving a
horse power OF endurance, being fed
half pint night and morning with
other feed. The stalks and heads,
after the seed is worked out, also make
good material for fires, and are espe
cially convenient in summer, when a
quick fire is desired and an enduring
heat is not wanted. In their growth
they make snowy appearance about
dwellings and give an agreeable ira
GRANGE to the air. The latest direc-
ton in the line of utilization OF the
sunfower is the planting Of a seed In
a place at the proper distances, so
that the stalks as they grow will serve
as bean-poles. We have seen them
started in that way this season, and
as they grow the leaves are removed,
thus forming an excellent stalk for the
beans, but what the effect will be upon
them remains to be seen. The roots
must tax the feeding capacity OF the
soil quite heavily.

trinidad Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch
When whale Is captured off the
Bocas, the blowing of horns heralds
its approach to one of the whaling
stations in the islands of the Bocas
We at once determined to follow tn,
whaling boat which We soon saw
rounding point, rowed by eight Wig
orous whalemen, and towing huge
shapeIess mass. The capture OF 8
whale off the coast OF Trinidad is al
together different from an occurrence
Of the same kind in Northern and Arc
tic regions, owing to the swarmin2 OF
countless sharks about the defunct
monster and their ferocious attacks
upon his carcass. We followed in the
wake of the whaleboat and quite close
to the whale. Already the sharks,
with an instinct rivallng that OF car
rion birds, were gathering round their
prey and increasing in numbers every
moment. We reached Monos, another
island in the Bocas, and there at the
whaling station, situated at a fiat
point IN shallow water, the lifeless
whale was hauled in close to the shore.
Now began the work of cutting up the
whale and carrying the blubber masses
to the caldrons. At this stage the
sharks actually grew frantic, and
would Jump out OF the water to seize
on some piece OF blubber they thought
within reach. These otherwise dan
gerous fish are, on an occasion of this
kind, perfectly harmless to man, and
this is well known to the whalemen.
One OF them having dropped his knife
in the water, dived to recover it in the
shallow water, and was left unmo-
Tested by the swarming monsters,
whom he almost touched at every mo-
ment. Numbers of sharks are also
harpooned with the greatest facility
on these occasions, and the oil which
is obtained from their livers is said to
be superior to cod-liver Oilin therapeu-
tic properties.
