St. Louis Republican: Gen. Neal
Dow, of Maine, is in pressing need
of the commiscratIon and sympathy
of his friends, the ProhIbitiOnists,
in tho merclless Overhaullng he is
now subjected to at the hands OF
his former allies, the Republicans.
When Gen. Dow was Republican
he could not say enough in favor
OF the manner IN which tho prohi.
bitIon law was enforced IN that
state, but since he ceased to be a
Republican and entered on the
task of destroying that party and
substituting the prohibition party
for 1t he cannot say too much
against the manner IN which pro-
hIbltion has not been enforced.
Six months ago he wrote letters
declaring that 95 per cent. of the
"rum traffic" in Maine had been
suppressed and that toototalism
was 4 success; now he makes
speeches asserting that there is
not city or town in Maine where
the law is not entirely ignored"
The great Prohibition leader finds
some difficulty in making these
two statements fit INTO one another
and the cause he represents is SUI
fering IN consequence.

A CURIOUS HOSPITAL CASE,


A Lying Skeleton Child, With the Actions
and Peculiarities of a Monkey.
A very strange case has come to the
notice of the physicians Of the Children's
Hospital in Philadelphia. About two
weeks ago child was brought for treat-
ment, and when its clothing was removed
it was found to be living skeleton. The
legs and arms are without one particle of
flesh, nothing but the covering of skin.
The head comes almost to point, and
the actions of the child are very much
like those of monkey. The child does
not suffer, and if left alone will reman
quiet, but if made uncomfortable in any
way will make noises which resemble the
cries of monkey. The child is five
years of age, and has never spoken, and
is only as large as child of two years
in good health. DR.. Louis Starr has
made tests and says he cannot discover
any evidence that the faculty of hearing
is present. In scratching the child uses
its thumb, just as do monkeys. 1t will
hold on with its hands as monkey
catches the bars of its cage, and has tie
same power to catch with its feet as with
its hands. The doctors say the child
does not suffer. The only food taken is
milk from bottle. 1t lies in curleG.
up position like an animal, and is per.
fectly unconscious of anything around il,
DR.. Stair, one of the visiting physicians
to the hospital, says it is the most r.
markable case he has ever seen,

which should have the privilege of
jumping overheard with the notes of
the entire party, and trusting to his
ability to jump from the steamer to the
deck of the tug, which would carry him
to the office where the story of the
disaster might be written. Mr.. Fielders
was the fortunate man. Giving his
watch and other valuables to his COM
rades, and taking in return their man.
usCript, Mr.. Fielders waited until the
tug had come as near the vessel as
possible, when he boldly leaped into
the darkness. Happily he reached the
tug, and despite the opposition Of the
officers he was able to reach the city
within an hour, and the next morning
a million people read the complete
story of the accident without dreaming
of the bravery which had made this
possible.-E. Marshall White.

DRIFTING.

Far out to seawlrd blink the stars,
And sho7ewarl sweep the waves ali l5ht
With beans that sparkle on the bars
When moons of Summer paint the night
a lone bark drifts across the main,
Sole traveller on the wild =, wide rea h
OF waves that fly the wind to gain
\ shelter on the long brown beach
y moment sinks it out OF sight
Between high Kills of liquid green;
Another, and its sails, snow white.
Against the cloudless sky are seen.
And so some souls drift ever on
The tireless waves of human strife,
Far reaching for the benison
That brings gladness into life.
And all around the great sea means,
The low sad winds go murmuring by,
The gull its matin cry entones
And fair star faces prink the sky.
All, God, guard well thy human barks
That ever drift and drift and drift
Upon the eddylng tide that marks
Where mingled joy and sadness shift.
Guard well thy barks of souls, O, Col.
That they burn fairly sweet and bright
And at the beckon of thy rod
Rise skyward with the stars to light
Their comrades through eternal night.

In the Name Mary

More women have been named Mary
than any other name which has blest or
cursed the feminine sex 1t stands as
the typical name for the holiest and most
abiect of women-icr the virgin and the
wanton. And in every language of Asia
and Europe, as well as that of Egypt,
this name appears almost without varia-
tior. 1t has been an equal tavorite with
the aristocrats of France and the Puri-
tans of New England, and it equally be-
comes literature or kitchen. 1t is stately
when we speak of Lady Mary Worthy
Montague; it is simplicity itself when We
refer to Mary O'Brien, who brings in our
breakfast rolls. At one time it may bring
up picture of divine by painted face,
hanging in the rich gloom of an Italian
gallery, and at another of a red checked
dairy maid with her bare feet in the
daisied grass. Two of England's five
Queens have borne il, and the most men,
orable woman that Scotland ever pro-
duced has made it immortal. The proud.
est woman of France has dignlfied it,
and the worst woman that Russia have
disgraced it. There are as many Marys
smiling at the circling suns that make
the brief summer by the northern sea as
loll through the luxurious days by the
Mediterranean. The name that Catho.
lie missionaries gave to the first conver
ted Indian maiden was Mary, and per-
haps the first daughter of every family
for all time will stand in imminent dan
ger of bearing the name, for it is the first
to be considered in naming girl babies,
and when rejected is always thought OF
with lingering tenderness. How many
lovers have loved it! How they asso-
ciated it with purity and gentleness, with
womanIiness and candor and trust. What
a fateful name it is! Its bearer seems
predostined to sorrow yet it is gladstone,
too. My mothers name was Mary"
What pleasant thing to say. My lit,
tie daughter Mary" Could anything be
pretter? My sister Mary, who is
dead" What wealth of tender sug
gestions! MARY my WIFE" What pic
ture of home comfort.

The dews drop cool above their head,
They know not when sweet summer fled.

There has probably never been issued in

Hotel Ryan. The cover is really very beau
tiful and artistic, and t.. g workmanship
throughout the book is of the most finished
and attractive character. The work is spe-
cally valuable on account of its containing
a complete guide to st. Paul, and by it
strangers will be able to find their way
about the city without other assistance.
The book is well written, while it does not
Overdo the subject. An excellent feature
of the book is its handsome cards announc-
ing the locations of the representative houses
in all lines of business. it is certain that ii
is the best advertising medium outside the
GLOBE that has ever been issued, and it
will do a grand missionary work in all of
its several fields. Col. Emerson is TO be
congratulated and commended for his en-
terprise.
