On Saturday, MAY Goth. 1886, Robin L.,
only child of Mr. and Mrs. f. p. Worces-
ter, aged one year, eleven months and
seven days.
There is mo flock however watched and
But one dead lamb is there.
There is no home hOwsOe' er defended,
But what has one vacant chair.
After an illness of two weeks the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Worcester
passed into the beyond. For days the
sad hearts of the grief stricken parents
chung to but faint hope of his recovery.
AT last the Angel of Mercy bore the in
FAINT spirit to its eternal home, to dwell in
the arms of Him who said Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not for of such is the Kingdom OF
Heaven" The sorrow of the parents in
parting with their only darling was IN
deed heartrending. The deepest sympa-
thies of the entire community were with
them in this their hour of trial. An evil
dence of this was shown by the large
concourse of friends who followed the re.
mains to their last resting place.
The funeral services were conducted
by the |. @. o.. F. of Sunlight Lodge
No. 273, Mr.. Worcester being member
of that ordeh Rev. l. II. Buffers. Chap
lin of the order, officiating. The remains
were viewed by many with tear dimmed
eyes as they rested in snow white cas-
ket, the handles of which were mounted
with silver and the word Our Darling
inscribed on them. The floral offerings
were very beautiful and appropriate. AT
the cemetery music was rendered while
the grave was being filed The parents
realize the truth of the words, Some
griefs gnaw deep. some woes are hard
to bear" But He who has their little
one in care will console them Strong
and brave hearts weep with the bereaved.
But Heaven alone can heal all hearts.
God doeth all things well.

A Curious Phase OF City Life.

81 fancy we loose five pounds OF tea
and coffee ever? day by people who are
passing by dipping their hands into the
open boxes at the doors and taking out
what they call samples" said VeSey

Now, watch this old woman. l know

acted afterward exactly as he described.
Then she went to another grocery store a

The Biggest Medical Fee on Record.

We complain nowadays of doctors
fees, but We who think that doctors
charge too much, read this story OF a
very ancient doctor:
The daughters of Pretus, King OF
Argos, were sick; they fancjed they
were turned into cows. Melampus, a
shepherd, had observed that when his
sheep ate hellebore, they were violently
pureed. 1t occurred tn him to send
some of their milk to the daughters OF
the king, or, as others say, he sent the
hellebore itself to them. But which
ever way it was, Melampus succeeded IN
curing the kings daughters of their
madness. After waiting proper time
he sent in his bill:
Prntus King of Argos,
10 DR.. Melampus, DR..
To curing daughters of Boyins Hal'uclna-
ton, one-third the kingdom.
Received Payment.
Alter much and anxious dclihe:ation,
the terms were agreed to, but the ava
ricio"s doctor then demanded another
third for his brother Bias. This was
thought a little cxorbitant. but was
finally paid. History does not inform
us whether sickness was common III the
kings family.-Dio Letcis's Nuyyets

A scheme for turning, or, rather, de-
fecting, the gulf stream, which for the
present, however, is likely to exist on
paper only. has been originated by Mr..
John C. Goodridge, an inventor and
engineer we'll known in New York. 1t
has for its object changing the tempera.
ture of the Atlantic states. by obtaining
more of the benefit of the gulf stream.
Mr.. Goodridge assumes that the reason
that those states do not get the benefit
of it now is, that they have between
them and it q polar current, coming
down along the coast of Labrador,
through the straits of Belle Isle, and
forming the cold western wall of the
gulf stream. The existence of this cur
rent is we'll established, and. in fact, is
one of the facts on which official sailing
directions both in the United States and
England are based. What Mr.. Good
ridge proposes is that it should be
stopped in the straits of Belle
Isle by q dam at point where
it is about ten miles wide and $50
feet deep. The dam, he says, could be
built with the adjacent rocks, and the
cost would not exceed $50: :0Oo,o 900. The
effect of this would be, he calculates, to
change the temperature of the coast from
Cape Hatteras to Newfoundland. Nova
Scotia would have climate as mild as
Cape May, and Block Island and Cape
God would become winter watering
places. Moreover, the St. Lawrence
would be open to navigation throughout
the year. Mr.. Goodridge also thinks.
though not with much positiveuess, that
the DETECTION of the Arctic current
might turn the gulf stream further
southwark, and thus cut OFT enough heat
from the British Isles to give them the
climate of Labrador; and then: giving
the reins to his fancy, he sees the queen
abandoning her icy kingdom and taking
refuge as Empress of India. But all
this, says the paper Iron, is too much to
expect for $4,000, 900, and very thank
full we ought to be that there are not
enough insane men to raise between them
even that sum for such wild scheme as
that of Mr.. Goodridge.

Signal ReYpnge.

Thir.y-siX years ago occurred the bat
tie of Chillianwallah, at which the Eng
lish ran an appallingly narrow chance OF
being defeated by the courageous
Sikhs opposed to them. Though Eng
land did gain the day, it was only by an
enormous expenditure OF brave mems
lives. A commcmoration pillar is erected
to their memory, in the garden OF the
Chelsea hospital.
This battle, however, one of the Sc
vcrcst ever fought by the British on the
soil of India. is also noteworthy because
of the shadow Of misfortune and dis
grace overhansing it. The fourteenth
re ,iment of dragons, in the midst OF
the engagement, suddenly turned in re-
treat, and nearly caused a panic in the
army. Its commander, Captain King,
overcome by shame, after ward committed
suicide.
Previous to his death he repeatedly de-
clared that he gave no order for retreat,
and knew no reason why his troops
should have fled. But the order was
heard by many officers and men, and the
captains word was not believed. Public
opinion gave a verdict OF cowardice
against him.
The circumstances of the battle have,
however, been recently revived, and new
evidence has come in, which, if true,
frees both officer and men from the worst
charge which can be preferred against
soldiers. In the regiment, says this ex-
onerating voice, was private who, for
some reason, bore grudge against his
colonel. Though he had sought for an
opportunity of taking revenge, none had
presented itself. But the man was a
ventriloqu;st; and at last bis chance
came. On the day of the battle, at the
critical moment, when it was infamy to
take one backward step, the ventrilo-
ouist threw his voice close to the colonel
and cal ed:
"Threes about"
It was the signal for retreat. The
regiment was a model OF discipline, and
had always obeycd as one man. 1t did
so now with fatal promptitude, aud. in
the melee of the battlefield, its retreat
was soon converted into hclter skiltcr
flight. The soldier had avenged his
wrong at the expense Of his comrades
honor, and at the risk Of defeat to his
country's flag Youths CJmpani9n.

A City of Mexico letter to the Boston
Herald asserts that "the ancient volcano
Popocatepetl has got into the courts.
Not that it has been bodily transported
into the halls of litigation, but it is the
subject of novel suit at law. For many
years General Ochoa has been the owner
of the volcano, the highest point Of land in
North America, together with all its ap-
purtences. The crater contains fine
quality of sulphur, which the general
has been extracting, giving employment
to Indians who cared to stay down in
the vaporous old crater. The property
was at one time fairly profitable, but
now it appears that the volcano was,
some time ago, mortgaged to Mr.. Carlos
Recamier, who brings suit of foreclosure.
The papers have been joking about the
matter, some asking what Mr.. Recamier
intends to do with his volcano when he
gets legal possession. He has been SOL
emnly warned that the law forbids the
carrying out of the country ancient mon
uments and objects of historical interest.
Probably there are precedents in law for
the foreclosing of volcanic property, but

According to the Hong Kong daily
Press, the empress Of China has caused a
great commotion among her counselors
by her liberal ideas and her conduct.
She has abated the rigor of court eti-
quette, has transferred her residence
from the winter palace to the castle in
Imperial park, takes boxing lessons, and
does not conceal her opinion that reform
in social and religious matters are
needed, aud that China no longer can
keep up he: isolation from the rest Of the
world. The conservatives complain
that her conduct is weakening the popu-
lar belief in the divine power of the inl-
perial house, and are confirmed in their
belief that a woman is unfit to rule a
country.

A Terrible Calamity Recalled.

In the county court at Milwaukee,
Judge Mason recently made q decision
sustaining the demurrer made by the
Newhall House Stock company in the
damage suit of John Gilbert Donohuc,
and the case is now thrown out of court
and at an end This action is the last
act in the terrible tragedy of the burn
ing of the Ncwhall house three years ago.
when one hundred people lost their
lives. 4 few hours before the fire there
was a merry party in one of the rooms
on the fifth floor. John Gilbert, the
actor, whose real name is Donohue, who
was member of Minnie Palmer's COM
pany, then playing in Milwaukee, had
been married the day before to a beauti-
full girl in Chicago named Gertrude SUIT
ton. The actor and his bride hurried
back to Milwaukee to join his
company. During the performance o.
the night of the fire the bride sat in q
box, and after the curtain hal dropped
on the last act there was midnight we'd
ding supper, attended by host of the
atrical friends, at the Newhall house :.
The party did not break up until nearly
g o'clock in the morning.
An hour later Mrs Gilbert was lying
dead, with many others, on the side
walk, near the hotel. Her husband,
manned and bleeding, was being cared
for near by, his life almost extinct. He
was taken TO hotel, and for days lin
gered between life and death, and con-
stantly moaning and asking for his
Young bride. Mrs. Gilbert was taken
with the unidentified dead to the
morgue. Her mother came to Milwaukee,
and the scene was heartrending one
when she visited the morgue to search
for her child. The bodies were so dis
figured that it was almost impossible to
identify them. Mrs. -.,Sutton could not
find her daughters body until John r.
Rodgers, who went to the morgue with
Mrs. Sutton, identified the body by the
underclothes, which bore the initials of
Mss Sutton.
In time John Gilbert recovered. II
was weeks before he was told the fate ol
his bride. A few months after the fire
he brought suit for 100000 damages
against the owners Of the house, assert
ing that they were criminally negligent
in the care OF their guests. The suit
dragged along until a technical point
was decided against Gilbert. and the
case has been thrown out of court.
J. +. Antisdcl, the lessee Of the hotel:
left Milwaukee soon after the lire. He
is now keeping small hotel in Mich,
igan. The site of the hotel remained in
ruins until few months ago, when ii
was purchased by life insurance com,
pany, and on it grand edi6ce is now
going up that will cost almost $1,O00,'
600. Gilbert has married again and has
played once or twice in this city sinca
that dreadful night.

A sinur]ar sort of fertilizer for pota

A singular sort of fertilizer for potato
fields has been introduced on Pcmsra-
MAN model farm. Hitherto hcrrings and
potatoes have been known as q palatable
dish in family households. The man
agcr of the farm in question has hit upon
the idea of blending them from the start,
by planting his seed potatoes with her
ring placed in every heap, and with SO
decided success as to cause him to in
crease the area thus planted from twenty
acres last year to sixty in the present
one. The expense he calculates at about
nine marks per acre, which is cheaper
than the cost of any other kind of
manure, and amply repays the outlay.
Of course it can only be employed near
the sea coast.

A representative of the New York
Tribune has made public the fact that
some of the liquor saloons of that city
sell quinine pills to their patrons. A
bartender who was interrogated by him
on the subject said: "We sell lots OF
quinine. If we didn't keep it our Gus
toners would 60 to the drugstore for
their liquor as we'll as their quinine. 1t
would do no good to kick, so we set up
the pills. Quinine to certain extent
acts on the system like liquor. Men who
drink much or go in for any excitement.
until the ordinary stimulants fail to
operate on their nervous system, often
take to quinine, opium orits compounds,
chloral, absinthe, and so on"

The King of Bavaria keeps carefully
out of sight, but contrives to provide
matter tor more stories about his private
doings than any of the visible monarchs
of Europe. King Ludwig's latest &c
centricity is remarkable even for him;
he has been photographed. During one
of his solitary walks in the Bava:ian
Alps he encountered an amiab!c OK,
which barred the way and refused to
allow his ajesty to pass. Fora bovine
subject to make himself so unpleasan:ly
conspicuous was not to be endured !;
wherefore the king seized a pank
which happened to be at hand, and
placing himself in position of attack,
as with a bayonet, he prepared to charge.
Then, of course, the surly OK shcered
of and allowed the King to pass, and he
was so pleased with his own exploit that
he had himself photographed in the at
titude of charging.

The relative efficiency of labor in the
cotton mills throughout the world can
be seen by reference to the amount OF
cotton which different workmen will
consume per year. In India the average
is s.451 pounds per operative, in Eng
land 2, GA pounds, in Germany 1900 to
1900 pounds, and in the United States
1850 pounds. The cost of gathering
and planting the cotton crop is computed
to be S113, 45O, 900, or thirty-six per

General Brisbin recently visited the
Rosebud Indian agency to witness an IS
sue of Uncle Sans beef to the red chill
dren of the prairie He found that the
beef was issued on the hoof, and the
braves were armed with repeating rifles
and revolvers to do the butchering.
First one y6ung warrior would shoot a
horn off, then another would break 4
leg, and so on. The poor animal would
be tortured by slow degrees, his death
being put off as long as possible so the
sport might last longer. "Aud this was
the government of the United States
method of issuing beef to its Indians,
encouraging them to be barbarous and
cruel, making gala day of its meat ls-
sue, and giving the young warriors a
chance to learn to shoot we'll and ride
we'll, 50 that they can kill my soldiers
more readily and kill citizens better if
they should so to war;"
