Most Remarkable Natural Echoes.

Among the most remarkable natural
echoes is that of Eagles Nest, on the
banks of Killarney, in Ireland, which
repeats bugle call until it seems to be
sounded from hundred instruments,
and that of the banks of the Naha, be-
tween Bingen and Coblentz, which re-
peats sound seventeen times.-Phila-

You are my sisters new beau, are you,

Just as I came through the hall.

And you cannot dance at all;
It's Just because you're rich, guess,
Made you the ''''catch" at tho ball.
Aid she says that when you are married
She'll teach you thing or two;

MILK.-Whercvc milk is used plenti-

men and women. Wherever its place is
usurped by tea we havo degeneracy swift

geon, who has devoted large share Of
attention to this subject, has ascertain ed
from careful measurments of numerous fac
tory children, that between thirteen and
fourteen years Of age they grow nearly four
times as fast on milk for breakfast and sup
per as On tea and coffee-a fact which shows
the benefits ofproper diet. No diet is SO
suitable for growing children as we'll cook ed
oatmeal porridge and milk, long the staple
food in Scotch families, but now, in macy

morning Mrs. Hetty Maurer aud her two
year-old child were found on the roadside,
two miles from Mrs. Maurer's house and
near tho house of her father, John Klinger,
in RAIN township, frozen to death. Mrs.
Maurer had been petted child. Her
mother died five years ago. In 1883 she
ran away with Joseph Maursr, one of the
farm hands, and her father sent her word
that she should never darker his door
again. A year ago Maurer went to Can
ada, aud for while sent money TO her,

from an older sister she managed to exist
Her husband died during the Montreal
smallpox epidemic. She learned his flte

softened her fathers heart, she went to
his house yesterday to ask to be taken back
with her child. The old man refused to
hear her plea aud she left When found
to-day, the babe was wrapped in her shawl.
Deputy Coroner Reagan has taken charge
of tho remains aud refuses to let old man
Klinger take them for burial.
SENSIBLE ADVICE.-presiden Whites

preeminently sound. DO not try to be
smart he said, 'but do everything that
comes to your lot in faithful and satsfac-
tory manner The ambition 10 be smaFtis
tho curse of the seBtii generation. The smart
nan is not willing to stop long enough to
dc anything well, because he wapts to do
everything in fifteen minutes, and spend
the rest Of his life in odoring hi. own wons
dcrful interior. He starts with series of
kangaroo leaps, aud is more than likely to
end one ofthcm by landing iu au uuex-
pcctcd ditch. There are a great many
smart men in prison, aud a very considera-
BILE number have retrea ted to Canada, they
go up like rockets, and they come down
like charred sticks.
Go slow. Recognize the fact that you
are not genius, and that consequently
you must work hard for what you get.
And above all things do not try to be smart.

not afford to buy them to secure their circu-

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. There has
been considerable discussion here as well
in political and social as in newspaper circles
concerning the severe arraignmcnt of certain
newspapers by President Cleveland in his
Harvard college speech. on which occasion
he denounced intrusious by the press into his
domestic privacy, The aliusion by the pres
ident evidently refers to certain special dis
patches sent from Washington, wherein sug
gestive but no less indicate comments were
made upon the conditions of Mrs Clevcland's
health. While it is thought the PRESIDENT
denunciation was rather sweeping the opin-
ion is universally expressed that the provo
cation justified the severeSt apprehension
