charging him with breaking into the

revolver. He was bound over in
the sum of $I5o, in default of which

Franklin effected an entrance INTO

of a peculiar make and consequently
easily recognized. On Friday he
tried to trade the pistol to several
parties and finally went into Dea-
cons hardware store and offered to
trade. Mr.. Deacon recognized the
pistol and gave the information which
led to his arrest. An Indictment al

A MELoDRAMATIc, as we'll as scien-
tific, picture of the inconvenience to
the living arising from the presence of
the dead is drawn by DIR. Eklund, of
Stockholm. To remedy the evils re-
sulting from delay in burials and sub
sequent decomposition, the doctor pro-
poses to render some simple process of
embalmment compulsory, and suggests
the creation of corps of embalmers
for that purpose. This plan rather
runs counter to modern views on the
subject of burial, which tend to favor
methods allowing of rapid disintegra-
ton, and is, besides, far inferior to
cremation both from q financial and
o practical point of view. Notwith-
standing oil that may be urged-and
urged truly-against the practice of
inhumation, it is q matter wherein
prejudice, custom, and dislike of
innovation will long hold scientific
arguments and methods in check, to
the greater or less detriment of public
health.

PROF. RICHARD A. PRocToR main
tains that most of the meteor streams
with which the earth comes in contact
are derived from the earth itself-that
is, thrown off by volcanic action at
time when the internal forces of our
planet were sufficiently active to give
them the initial velocity requisite to
carry them beyond the earth's attrac-
tion-some twelve miles a second.
Comets, which he regards as the par
ents of meteor streams, he thinks may
have originated outside our solar sys-
tenn. Most of the comets whose orbits
belong TO our system he thinks origi-
mated in the larger planets. The sun
is now perhaps giving birth frequently
to comets, which probably pass beyond
the limits of its attraction.

and though week since It would have
almost broken my heart to have met with
any delay in my studies, yet now think
can wait year longer before going 10
college; and by studying evenings / will
not lose anything now know"
"But II the war should not be ended in a
year-if it should last till you are too old
TO go to college-or il these men should
never come back-should be killed-then
you would have their families to provide
for all their lives. Would you not then
regret what you had doneP"
The boys face grew very pale. He sat
silent awhile; the large tears came In his
eyes and splashed down, but he soon
brushed them away and looked up with an
antroubled face, saying:
"You know, father, that many of our
most eminent men never went through COL
lege; so IL live promise you that your
heart shall vet grow warm with love and
pride for me-"
He did not know, as his father rose and
turned to his desk, that his heart was al
ready throbbing with love and pride for his
son; but he heard the quiver in his voice as
Mr.. o. replied:
not give you my answer till tomorrow
morning. In the meantime do not mention
the subject to any one. And now l must
excuse you, Albert, for 1 have something
else to to do"
So Albert fastened home to his own
room, where he was soon immersed in
bookkeeping, that he might be sure of his
proficiency in case his father might accept
his offer.
That night Mr.. o. consulted his wife,
and in the morning told Albert he might do
as he wished.
Charley B. and William H. were very
much surprised to hear Albert's PROPOSE
tion; but when they found he was in earn
est, and his father approved his plan, they
enlisted and went, leaving their dear ones
in his care.
And we'll did he redeem his promises.
Good old widow b. grew to love him as her
son; and many prayer went up from her
heart for Albert.
He watched over the little children, too.
in loving, brotherly way, going to see
them often, and frequently sending them
little gifts "from brother Albert" when he
could not go. Then they and their maiden
aunt Emily were invited to his fathers
house every Sunday to dinner and tea.
The four dollars week which he gave
aunt Emily, and the three dollars which he
gave Mrs. B., still left him money enough
to help many other soldiers families, and
Albert fully realized the truth, at is more
blessed to give than to receive"
The year was not quite gone when
Charley B. came home with one leg, and
soon the news came of William H., killed
on the field Of battle" Then Mr.. o. pro-
vided for the two children, leaving them
still in the care Of their dear aunt Emily;
and when Albert had instructed Charley B.
in the mysteries of bookkeeping Mr.: o.
took him into his employ and sent Albert
to college.
