We have received quite lengthy
.mmunication from Sylmar, de.
nounciug the cruelty which is alle@
d to have been perpetrated on q
woman with a child in her arms wht
was turned out of country house
two M lies from the station, on The
morning of The heavy snow storm
1t was dou tless very cruel anc
mp oper thing to permit the woman
to walk through the storm carryin
child in her arms, and the story a.
,elated by our correspondent is all
on the woman's side. Probably there
is another side which if told would
present many extenuating circum-
stances. These women who come
out from intelligent offices in the
ify with baby in arms. are general
ly pretty hard set. and show but
little gratitude for kindness. At an,
rate our corr spondent's article is to
ong for the space at our command.
Nevertheless he has our thanks tor
the.communica'ion. BY a tile inquir-
ing he may find out some damaging
facts on the other side. We think 1t
quite probable that the woman took
fit of "tantrums' and went out in
to the storm, in place of being driven
out. This is characteristic of that
class. When well treated they grow
impudent and exasperating beyond
endurance.

Whitemarsh Church is located in
Talbot county, near a cross-road village
Known by the singular and not euphO-
niOus title of 1.-THE Hole in the Wall. u
The village name is said to date from
the ancient days when Oxford was a
port Of entry. The smuggling sailors
would bring their crooked liquors from
the port at night and deposit the bottles
of cognac and hollands in hole In the
wall of the traders shop, returning in
The morning for their payment.
WhitemarSh Church dates back be-
yond 1690, and here mjnistered CON-
missary Bray, one of the origlnators Of
the famous society for the propagation
of the Gospel, through the agency of
which the Church of England has
spread its influence into every strong
hold of heathenism. A building used
by him as female seminary yet stands
about a mile away towards Oxford. In
some unexplained way it long since.
with the land on which stands, became
alienated from the Church, and Is now
the County Almshouse.
In I'LL the Rev. Mr.. Maynadier was
rector, residing at the parsonage on Il
farm short distance from the church,
and singular story is told of his
family. The tradition is that his wife
died after brief illness, and was buried
with rather unusual haste. The worthy
man, overcome by grief, retired early,
but was aroused from his slumbers
shortly before midnight by a knocking
at the front door. Imagine his feeling
when, on opening it, there stood his
buried wife, faint and terrified, but alive
and in the flesh. She had been hastily
coflined without the removal of a
valuable ring. and one Of the attend
ants, aware OF the fact, had exhumed
the body just after nightfall for the
purpose of robbing it. But the ring
clung to the finger, and an effort was
made to sever the joint; blood flowed,
the corpse groaned, moved and recOv-
cred CONSCIOUSNESS. The would-be rob-
Der of the dead fled in terror from the
scene. and the lady thus happily saved
from ner grave, made her way through
the night to the desolate home from
which she had been carried few hours
before. She lived to tell the story for
many years afterward,

n Long Neglected Sense.

Isn't it a little singular that the nose,
the organ of smelling, has, through all
the long centuries, been neglected in
the matter of education? All the other
senses, save alone that of smelling, are
cultivated and improved. Take that
iof sight, which has been aided and edu-
Gated by means of the microscope and
telescope, not to speak of spectacles,
which overcome visual deficiencies and
continue old eyes in useful employment
to the last moment of existence. If
you have a daughter with piano or
neIghbors similarly endowed, you know
what has been done in educating the
touch, BY educating the finger tips
the blind are enabled to read. The
sense of hearing and of taste are both
educated.
Take the practical arts. What a
blessing a plumber or health officer
would be with a nose trained to busi-
ness. What sweet boon specialist
would be who, with snuff or two In
the suspected locality. would be able to
say, "this is malaria" ''that's scarla-
tina, 4" "here's typhoid fever" Isn't it
strange that this last quarter of the
Nineteenth century, big with great in
ventions, has done nothing for this long
neglected sense2 Then the shape of
the nose. 1t is not unlikely that 1t has
greatly degenerated in form what it
once was. Take an old coin of Rome
or Greece and you will readily satisfy
yourself that this is no mere assump-
tion. Roman and Grecian noses Of
pure types are now extremely rare.
These distinctive types are merging
into a conglomerate pose. 1t Is said
that character depends largely upon
the form of the nose. Why. then,
leave so much to chance2 Why not
train up nose In the way it should
go2
TIA person has good nose, a nose of
character, he usually, like the blue
china, endeavors to live up to 1t. To
elevate the race, then, would it not be
we'll to begin with the nose? L have
little doubt pug nose has IN many
cases, been more burdensome than the
proverbial milestone. Many boy OF
good intentions has perhaps been turned
aside from the path of high endeavor
by discovering the formative period
that his nose was a pug or OF some
other plebian form. Many, it Is true,
have been able to rise above such dis
couraglng endowment, but no one can
compute the thousands who have fallen
after a noble but Intellectual struggle
against a nose,

Grounds for Divorce in China.

The Chinese have a firm belief In
marriages being made IN Heaven. A
certain deity, who they call .''The Old
Man in the Moon," links with a silken
cord, they say, all predestined couples.
E,rly marriage is earnestly inculcated.
One of their maxims states that there
are three cardinal sins, and that to die
without offspring is the chief. AS in
other countries spring is the time when
Young peoples minds turn to thoughts
of love, and most marriages are cs.-
ebrated in February, when the peach
tree blossoms appear. Among the mar
rage presents are live geese, which are
supposed to be emblems.tlcal of The C IN
cori and happiness OF the marriage
state. 4 Chlnaman may divorce his
wife for seven different reasons, and IN
the list are ill temper and q talkative
disposition. The birth of a son is the
occasion of much rejoicing, for without
sons a man lives without honor and
dies unhappy, with no one to worship
at his grave and none to continue the
family line.

Cigar Makers in Bremen.

Cigars form one OF the principal in.
dustries of Bremen, giving employ
ment to thousands of hands and invest
ment to large capital. The artisans
form a peculiar class, and consider
themselves of a superior order to other
handworkers. They dlsdain the drudg-
cry Of preparing the rough tobacco for
the core, and deYolve it upon women
and children, generally members of
their own family. They are an idle lot
as rule. Monday and Tuesday are
loitered away or spent in the beer
houses, and it is only on Wednesday
that the weeks work seriously begins.
In the four following days, however. a
clever workman can earn sufficiently
high wages to indulge in luxuries, aid
ed, as he generally is by the six days
wages of his wife. 1t is possible for an
expert and industrious couple to earn
from sos to Cos a week. The cigar
maker is almost invariably musical and
a member of singing confraternity,
and the work in the factories goes on
amid universal chorus of voices.
This is considered to help both the
quantity and the quality of the work
done. Much interest is shown in these
establishments about the news OF the
day, Every morning paper is bought
and one of the hands chosen to read 1t
aloud for his fellows, who in turn sub.
scribe to indemnify him for his loss oil
time.

Auntie's Rose.

II Is only a rose, my darlings,
Do you ask what the tale can be-
Why a rose that is withered and faded
Should be so dear 70 me?
Somebody sent it me, darlings,
Back in the days of yore,
On the night that his ship was sailing
Away TO the dreadful war.
But had my rose, my darlings
To comfort me day by day,
As read the bitter tidings
of the fighting far away,
TIL il dropped and died, my darlinsy,
And / read its message plain,
That be who had given that little rose
Would never come back again.
And now j am old, my darlings,
And life draws near its close,
You know why my heart is happy
AS watch my sweet dead rose.
Our life has another chapter
To read in the world 10 be,
And love, like new rose, darlings,
Will blossom for him and me.

THE AFrEn DINNER NAP.
A Luyury About Which Opinions
Differ Concerning sIee2lessness-


There Is much difference Of opinion
concerning the desIrability of an after
dinner nap. Tfose who advocate II
cite the example OF animals, but these
gorge themselves with food whenever
opportunity offers, AM are heavy and
| drowsy In consequence. A short rest,
! however, is different from leshargic
sleep, and often appears to do good.
Brain work should certainly be forbid
ito IA after dinner; the interval between
4, :. md bedtime should be devoted TO
f~.l .eatiop and amusement. In the
case OF ildsi.g people Short nap after
a late dinner ofteh helps digestion, but
as a general rule it is better for such
persons to make their principal meal a.

elderly people are at low ebb IN the
evening.
When sleeplessnesi Is Troublesome re-
lief shonld be sought fo. ia the diScov-
cry AID removal Of the cause whenever
possible. The condition is often due to
Indigestion, and when this is tie case
the ordinary remedies for inducing
sleep are worse than useless. The
rsryous relations between the brain
AMI the stomach are so intimate that
disorder OF the one organ is almost GER
.sin to affect the other. Excitement,
worry and anxiety, which have their
-seat in the BRAN, interfere with the
functions Of the stomach, and in like
manner anything that unduly taxes the
power Of OF irritates the stomach dis
oriers the circulation and nutrition of
the brain. The sleeplessness often
complained OF By gouty persons is due
to the poisonous effect of the morbid
material ur0n the nervous system.
Excessive smoking, too much alcohol,

,yer-woI ke5 persons, are frequent
causes Ct sseepiessness. In all these

A Monstrosity.

Mr.. s. S. Liller, sexton of the
Bridgeport Presbyterian church, has
in his possession singular malfor-
nation. 1t is calf, having the hind
parts resembling very closely those
of dog, and large head almost
perfectly round and about fifteen
inches in diameter. 1t is thickly
covered all over with hair, and one
view makes it resemble a human
head and the nose and mouth are al =
most upon the neck. The eyes are
on exactly opposite sides of the head,
which is so large as to make them
almost disappear. The tail is fat
like beavers and the knee joints
out of all proportion. The color is
very light, almost white, with a few
brown spots. The cow from which
it was taken had to be killed, as it
was unable to give birth to the mon
strosity. The COW was the property
of John Liller, who lives ON the
Troutline farm on Deep run, in Ohio
county. 1t is well worth any ones
time to see this freak, and several
museum managers are trying to get
possession of it.
