uncouple the cars, and while in the
act the engine struck the cars, crush
ing the arm from the elbow to the
shoulder, making a ghastly, sicken-
ing looking wound. AS soon as the
arm was released it dropped to his
side, and he stepped quietly out and
tried to remove his coat. He then
looked at his mischief-maker and
sad said, "Take me where | can get
my arm fixed" lie was then put on
the engine and taken to the hospital
where he washed the blood from the
lifeless limb without a sigh. The
chief surgeon and his assistant were
promptly on hand, dressed the arm,
and put him to bed, where his father
and brother found him and stayed
with him until his mother was
brought to the scene, where she still
remains to await his recovery or
death. From his brother,

a considerable change may be effected
with satisfactory results, when eircum-
stances render it necessary.
To revert once more to the question
of fesh-eating, it should be remarked
that it appears to be by no means a
natural taste with the young. Few
children like that part Of the meal
which consists of meat, but prefer the
pudding, the fruit, the vegetables, il
well dressed, which, unhappily, is not
often the case. Many children mani
fest great repugnance to meat at first
and are coaxed and even scolded by
anxious mothers until the habit of eat
ing it is acquired. Adopting the in
suIar creed, which regards beef and
mutton as necessary 10 health and
strength, the mother often suffers from
groundless forebodings about the ID
ture of q child who rejects flesh and
manifests what is regarded as an I'M
fortunate partiahty for bread and but
ter and pudding Nevertheless, | am
satisfied, if the children followed their
own instinct in that matter, the result
would be a gain in more ways than one.
Certainly, if meat did not appear IN
the nursery until the children sent for
it. it would be rarely seen there. and
the young ones would, as q rule, thrive
on milk and eggs, with the varied pro-
duce of the vegetable kingdom. -ST

clear. The Republican party will
remain entirely faithful to civil-ser-

party carries into actual effect these
professions of hostility to that re-

a position where its opinions upon
the subject will have only a purely

NIT that the progress of the cancer
in his throat has been, at least tenn
porarily arrested. The outer swell
ing on his neck has nearly disap.
peared. His voice has returned to
him in some measure, and, to an un-
scientific eye, there are indications
that his recovery is not impossible.
The physicians, however, declare
that this is a feature of cancerous
disease, which is liable at times to
subsiol, but will aftcrward become
more active, and that the present
condition of the distinguished
patient will be Of very uncertain du
ration. He has been now a month

he is actually stronger, and hit
chances Of life are better, than wher
he went there, is probably a question

MILWAUKEE SENTINEL 1t is I'M
fortunate that people who are really
concerned in the advance of temper
ance should encourage the political
humbug st. John, who has been re-
pudiated by the temperance workers
of his own state. 1t is serious
mistake to give countenance to a
man who abuses men who have done
more to advance the cause of tenn
perance than he and all his cranky
followers. However, it must be
said that he has not received en-
couragement enough to make him
capable of any further mischief.
The thing that is most Objectionable
about his appearance here, is the
part professed temperance men took
in political circus intended to aid
the Democratic party.
