DR.. Rintersnith- waive a rule have
observed for many years, the value Of your
remedy prompting me to say, in reply to
your request, what know Of your Chill
Cure; The private assurances Of its efficacy
| had, and the good results Of its effects
had observed on Mr.. X. ". Meredith, who,
for more than fifteen years, had been lore
man OF my oihce, induced me to test 1t in
my family. The results have been entirely
satisfactory, The first case was of two
years standing, in which believe every
known remedy had. been tried with tempo
rary reliet-the chills returning periodically
and with, seemingly increased severity.
Your cure broke them at once, and there has
been no recurrence of them for moro than
six months. The other case was of milder
FORM, and yielded moro readily to other
remedies; but the chills would return at in
teryals until your medicine was used, since
which time, now several months, they have
entirely disappeared. From tho Opportu-
nifty have had to judge, do not hesitate to
express my belief that your Chill Cure lie
valuable, specific, and performs all you
promise for 1t. Respectfully

IN A ROW BOAT.
BY BESSIE CHANDLER.


We're off for { row on the briny Atlantic,
In a boat that's not "bonny," nor given to
clipping
It won't even "curtsey," it isn't romantic,
And the waters harbor, filed up with ship
ping
Yet, what do we care for the "Blue Danube Riv
err"
For Venice. the Rhine or Geneva's fair shorel
The splasi4 of a blade, with its ripple and quiv-
er,
Sings just the same music the universe DER.
md beneath this tall ship house-peaked and
roomy,
And yonder old hulk, without bowsprit or
mast,
We glide into shadows as graceful and gloomy
AS the Doges palace itself can cast.
A ferryboat comes-she's thing of beauty
See her colored lights on the waves shine
down;
They are only her signals doing their duty,
Bit they CLEAN like jewels in a monarch 8
crown.
There is no weird legend in any quarter,
No ''madrigal' floats to the listening ear,
No mandolin" tinkles, but over the water
Come fresh, laughing voices, jolly and clear.
And SO on we go, in the deepening twilight,
Without any sentiment, romance or stuff
The same moon gilds ALL with its touches of
high light;
We're perfectly happy, and that is enough

size and remain at two cents. It, too,
is to sound the loud tom tom and cast
javelins at the World. James Gordon
Bennett has sent for the superintend-
emit of distribution and the superin-
tendent of presses in the Herald Office
to meet him in Paris-to be exact,
they sailed at o'clock yesterday
morning. Mr.. Bennett, it is said, is
laying plans to penetrate the vitals of
the World. Mr.. Pulitzer, I am in
formed, declined to consider general
proposition to partially restore the
prices of the papers which reduced
them-viz., the Times, Herald and
World. Therefore, the conductors of
the other journals propose to fight it
out with him. The clash of quilts and
the crash of brains will be q more awe
inspiring spectacle than the late re-
spected earthquake.
The evening papers, as | wrote a
short time ago, areslowly drifting into
contest. 1t is only question of
time, apparently, when the CONNER
cial Advertiser and the Evening Post
will be down two cents to meet the
Mail and Express, which is enjoying an
era of wonderful prosperity on account
of it's price. There has been some talk
of new afternoon paper.

From the New York Herald. I

From the New York Herald.
in most slave countries the traveller
notes q distinct interchange between
the characteristics of the two sexes,
the man being usually poetic, senti-
mental, wanting in energy; the woman
realistic, bold, fearless, and enterpris-
ing.
In the light of this fact the reader
will be at no loss to understand the
story just told by the Varshavsky
Dnevnik:
They loved each other at Kalish, in
Poland. Her parents objected to 81
marriage because the young man was
without fortune; his parents objected
because he had no means of support
ing g. family. In this dilemma the
young lady, first abstracting 5000
rubles from the desk of her mamma,
drove to the lovers residence, and
finding his mother absent carried him
off in triumph. The two soon after
ward crossed the frontier and are now
spending their honeymoon in Western
Europe.
Which seems to indicate that love
laughs at locksmiths even in Poland.

May, but later the bees did not do as
well, and swarming was not general
unIll the latter part of June. He had
eighty seven colonies in the spring.
which increased to $50. Only six Of
the new swarms were natural. Tween.
ty-tWo or the old ones were divided
art1ticlally. His average WELD this
year is forty pounds of honey to the
swarm.
b. E. Foster said that in Nav his
bees gathered more honey than ever
before. Some of it was fine and some
not as good as that of last year. He
made five or six swarms by dividing
old ones. Four hives of his bees aver
aged about sixty pounds of honey to
the colony, but he had taken $50
pounds from one colony,
Il. Bacon spoke of the yellow finish
IN the honey, which he attributed to
wild mustard. Others thought lit
came from the dandelion or the catnin.
He is satisfied with an average WELD Of
thirty pounds.
Mr.. Miller wintered thirty-fve out of
th1rty-seven swarms, keeping them in
sheltered building where the mercury
never went lower than five degrees
above freezing.
His average yield of honey was 52A
pounds, although he has taken from
one swarm as high as 800 pounds.
w. q. Perry lost seven out of eleven
swarms during the winter. His aver
age yield was from twenty-five to thir-
ty pounds. Mr.. Evans attributed the
dark color of his honey to sumach
blossoms.
Feeding bees for winter requires O.
peculiar knack as we'll as care. Mr..
Bacon uses sugas and water, one third
water and two-thirds sugar. This
food is all eaten before spring, and be-
fore the bees commence to gather
money, 30 that none OF it goes into the
crop.
A majority of the members favored
tke Italian breed OF bees. Others
thought there was little difference so
far as working qualities are concerned
between the Italians, the German and
the hybrids. The Italians are the
most gentle under handling. The
points TO be considered in breeding are
gentleness, qu1etness in wintering.
proiifcness and working qualities.
AS 20 wintering bees, G. d. Wheeler
buries them in the ground. He digs
two trenches with boards at the
sides, top and bottom, and covers them
with layers OF shavings and sawdust
and then with earth. Arrangements
are made for carrying off the water
that soaks through and for furnishing
ventilation. The method is compare
lively new, but seems to furnish the
necessary warmth.

Split Ten-DolIar Notes.
1From the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltim ore SUM-
A new departure in the matter Of
counterfeiting money was brought to
light at the United States sub-treasu-
ry in Baltimore few days ago. A
somewhat worn ten-dollar government
bill was presented at the cashiers win
dow with q request for change, which
was given. The note was sent to
Washington as mutilated currency,
and was returned with the informa-
ton that one side of the note was
good, but the other side was well ex-
ecuted counterfeit of the original. 1t
was found that genuine ten-dollar
bill had been split, the face being sepa-
rated from the back, a. seemingly i'm
possible undertaking. The original
face with counterfeit back had been
used, and it is quite likely that the
genuine back with g. we'll executed
counterfeit face has been passed in
some other quarter. More recently
another ten-dollar 'sfront" was pre-
sented at the cashiers window with g.
similar request for change. The clerk
at the window, suspecting the bill,
told the man who handed it in to wait
q moment until he could consult DR..
Bishop, the sub-treasurer. DIR. Bishop
recognized in the note the familiar
game, and said it was worth just SIS.
When the clerk returned to the win
dow the man had left without waiting
for his change. The sub treasury,
which was out SIS on the first transac-
ton, was evened up by the second.

The Corpse BIushed.

From the New York Star.]
For some time prior to her death on
last Tuesday pretty Mary Wiseman,
of 72 Navy Street, Brooklyn. had a
dread of being inferred while in a
tranced condition. She was q tall,
spirituelle girl, with dark hair and
brown eyes, and was employed in a
Canal Street store. Last Monday
she left her home early, and while
crossing the bridge had an attack of
vertigo. She went to the home of her
aunt, 81 Catharine Street, New York,
where DR.. Hemingway attended her.
He diagnosed the case as summer
complaint, and prescribed accordingly.
That night she slept quietly, and on
Tuesday morning died without awak-
ening. Her mother was at once sent for,
and fearing that the death was but a
trance called in DIR. Keefe. He used
every test known to science to detect
life, and after exhausting every means
pronounced her dead.
The body was not placed on the ice,
however, but was removed to her
mothers house. There DR.. O'Grady,
of 1852 Sands Street, was calledin. He
opened q vein, but no blood flowed,
and he pronounced the girl dead.
Fourteen hours after death the body
was placed on ice. Modification had
then already set in. Forty-eight hours
afterward the remains were taken
from the ice and prepared for burial.
The family were startled shortly after
the body was placed in the coffin by g.
hectic flush suffusing each cheek. At
once all the fears of trance were re-
vived, and DR.. Colgan was hastily
summoned. Neither he nor the under
taker could account for the strange
appearance save on the theory that
the blood being impoverished did not
readily CONCEAL, and when the body
was removed from the ice the expan-
sion of the flesh produced capillary
attraction and the consequent flush.
The funeral was delayed until after
noon, when, all hope of life being
abandoned, the remains were inferred.

FARM AND HOME.
Grandpa's Pet.


A bundle OF sweetness rolled up in blue
A round, curly head that was golden;
Two wee chubby hands that came peeping
through,
And ne'er one thing could be holden.
Such lump of fun as eyes never met.
And The whole went by the name of grandpa's
pet.
He's up in the morning when daylight breaks,
IND every one knows all about it,
The day begins just when Roger awakes
And none are SO hardy as doubt it.
An autocrat he, whose wish must be met,
All must bow to the reign of grandpa's pet.
Does he want a CROWN He'll have grandpas
hat
The coal-scuttle serves him to fish in.
When he chooses to ride, he'll ride the cat
And pussy must bend in submission.
He cannot do wrong-he never did yet
Why, the whole world was made just for grand.
pas pet.
When he makes crows nest of grandpa's wig
Then the old man is ready to kiss him,
He draws his snuff box about for a gig.
And the worst word that's said Is, God bless
him
All clocks in the house to his time are set
Well there's nobody there but grandpa's pet.
What pity we cannot be always young,
And rule like q king in his glory;
What pity that time, with his iron tongue,
Must change the sweet tune of lifes story.
Alas that we lose in furry and fret
The dream of the time We were grandpa's pet.
