THE General Synod of the Church of
Ireland, which is a member of the Es-
tablished Church of England, yester-
day adopted resolutions unfavorable to
the cause of Ireland. This was to be
expected. The Established Church is
living in the past and wants to live
there. In the present there is too
much Of sentiment favorable to the
disestablishment of the church to be
comfortable for its prelates. The dis
establishment of the church means the
abolition of many lordlike honors and
many fat pickings for the clergy
thereof.

Thep clap their childish, chubby hands when
"Papa dear'' they see.
And just as evening twilight has deepened
into gloom,
l hear their CHEEKY voices ringing round the

The ram of snow and winter blow fiercely in

And many pangs of sorrow I've suffered in

But those jewels in the window inspire my

Bereft of home and children, with naught to

No cheering light to guide them in all the

Bright jewels in the window may greet

THE WINTER SoLST7CE.

What is the time of the year7
What is the hour of the dayl
Later at morn and sooner at eve
The pale stars shine alway;
And the low sun drifts to the south,
So wan that at height of noon
We hardly know it the dun light
Be the parting glow of the sunlight
Or the gleam of tho risen moon;
And ever through shade and feeting shine
We hear the bleak winds rune:
"Alas, alas for the summer fed,
And sky and earth so grayl"
Oh. for the odor of violets
That sprang with the April rain,
And the breath of the rose and the lily
That long in their graves have lainl
And oh, for the orchards wealth of bloom,
And the wheat fields waving goldl-
Ny heart is faint for the splendor
Of harvest moons, and the tender
Tale that the zephyrs told!
How shall we live now earth is bare,
And the sun himself is cold,
And the only wind is the bitter north,
Bemoaning wood and plain!
Waitl there's thrill in the air!
Seel in the south forlorn
The great sun stays his wandering beams,
And new year finds its morn
The stars are a-watch, and the moon;
The wailing wind drops low:
There's a murmer of daffodil meadows,
And Of songs in the silver shadows,
And banks where the violets blowl
Let fires be lit, let shrines be decked,
And joy be lord of woel-
The sun in glory mounts the sky,
And God for earth is bornl

A leading publishing house states that
when a manuscript is received it is turned
over to "reader," who, after examin-
ing it carefully, returns it with his
opinion as to its merit or lack of merit.
If reader returns a manuscript with a
strong endorsement, the merits of the
work are considered from a commercial
point of whether it is likely to
sell, how much it will cost for pro-
duction, etc. Frequently the manu-
script is turned over to second reader,
sometimes to a third. If all say, "This
is a strong work; think it will pay you
to publish it, or words to that effect,
of course their recommendation goes a
loug way in the question of publication.

1t has often been remarked that dogs
in the country, though they abound in
every farm yard, do not get mad and
kill people by their bite, as is sometimes
the case in cities. "The only reason we
can imagine for such a difference" re-
marks the Witness, sis that country dogs
are petted, while city dogs, when allowed
to go loose, are often pelted. The ma
tural depravity of man shows itself in
many boys IN tormenting and torturing
dogs and cats. If kindness to animals
were inculated oftener in churches and
schools the average of the people would
be greatly improved, as is already the
case in many places where Bands of
Mercy have been formed. But it may
be said, If cruelty to dogs causes hydro.

cats do the some2 and the answer
is that it does. The bite of a

when in a state of furious excitement. 1t
was the bite of a chained fox, excited
by punishment, that killed one of
Cauada's first governors, the Duke of
Richmond. If dogs cannot be protected
from persecution'i cities they should
either be banished or confined, and the
fewer of them the better. Pasteur's
success in curing hydrophobia by inocu-
lation, if fully established, will be an
important point gained by patient in
vestigation; but whether or no, so long
as bitten persons believe themselves
to be cured there will be much fewer
deaths. 1t is the constant apprehen-
sion of a dreadful death which aggra-
Yates, if it does not in many instances
cause, the diseased called hydrophobia,

guished from it."

A Boston Adrertiser correspondent as
serts that ''the citizen of the United
States is surprised and disappointed to
find how small part his great country
is playing in the life of the eastern coast
of South America from Cape st. Rogue
to Cape Horn. The Yankee colony in
the various cities consists almost exclus-
lively of those connected with the lega-
tions and consulates-a mere handful of
individuals. There are some few en-
gagged in business of various kinds, with
now and then a clergyman, ship chard-
Ter, naturalist, professor, or dentist, and
the officers of the United States ships in
the different harbors are an important
element. The trium phs of American en-
terprise are more of the past than the
present. You will still see Baldwin
locomotives and old fashioned cars on
some of the railroads, though the loco
motives are fast being supplanted by
those imported from England and Ger
many, and the cars are made in the
country itself Stephenson horse-cars
hold their own, and some of the COM
panies are managed by Americans, who
have made considerable money out of
them. In Rio the New York ferry boats
ply across the bay. The Bell telephone
is generally used, but the management
is now principally in the control of local
organizations. Agricultural implements
and sewing machines from the United
States have very good sale and Wal.
than watches also find purchasers. The
great life insurance companies of New
York have their advertisements over the
country, and as their officers are in large
and elaborate buildings it is to be sup
posed they are doing profitable bust
ness"

Referring to an announcement that at
a recent exhumation in a Wastern ceme-
terry the body of a woman was found
turned to stone, the Louisville He3ical
Ne,os says: "Petrifcation of the body of
a warm -blooded animal never has been
known, and it is quite safe to say never
has taken place. The condition of the
body which leads to such a misconcep-
tion is not that of petrifcation, but of

The wild horse of the plains aud
Rocky mountains is pretty much thing
Of the past. Nevertheless, few isso.
lated herds are said to be occasionally
found A Montana writer says, in sub
stance, of these isolated bands, that,
with the wild horses stallion is at the
head, and is the leader of every herd,
having such full control over them that
no band of cowboys are able to drive a
band of horses so fast or so well as
stallion can. All in the band are so
thoroughly afraid of him they keep in
bunch, and their speed is guaged by his
own, he running behind with his head
low, scarcely above the ground. He ad-
vances quickly on the hindermost ones,
giving them sharp bite on the rump,
thereby giving them to understand they
must keep up. Should one turn out he
follows him, much after the fashion OF
a shepherd dog, and runs him back.
Until his band are out of sight in the
mountains he keeps this up. Here they
scatter in all directions, in ravines, can
ons and inaccessible places, so that when
the rider arrives at the place he last saw
them he is mortified to find his own
horse almost exhausted and the herd so
scattered that he must give up the chase
in disgust.

A man was seized with an epileptic fit
in the street in New York the other day,
whereupon kindly disposed policeman
darted into neighboring grocery and
asked for q handful of salt, which he
forced into the poor fellows mouth.
The operation was approved by some of
the spectators, who complimented the
policeman upon his knowledge Of 'just
what to do" in such cases. "Ofall pop.
ular remedies, " says a physician who was
questioned on the subject, "that of
choking man with salt just because he
has tit is the most senseless and barbar-
Gus. In some cases it would do serious in-
jury, and might cause death. Hystero-
epileptics are troubled with choking
sensation and spasmodie contractions in
the throat, which interfere greatly with
breathing and swallowing. To crowd
salt into it is foolish and ignorant pro-
ceedinR."

The Spider Cure.

Spiders were formerly considered to
be cure in rural districts for agues.
Some years ago a lady in Ireland was
famous for her success in curing people
thus affected. 1t appears that the only
medicine she employed was large
spider rolled upin treacle The patients
were ignorant of the contents of this
novel bolus, so that Imagination had
nothing to do with the matter. In Eng
land, also, the spider has been called in
as an ague doctor In Lincolnshire the
creature was treated very much after the
above mentioned Irish fashion, being
rolled up in paste and swallowed; but
elsewhere the animal is put into a bag
and worn round the neck.

Several very severe cases of trichinosis
have occurred recently-all traceable to
eating raw pork ham. This, it appears,
is favorite dish with Germans, and whole
families and their guests have been
severely affected by this disgusting dis
ease. Some of the patients are expected
to die, but most of them are likely to
recover. The warning to cook thor
oughly all kinds of pork before eating
is very obvious. So much diseased pork
comes into the Chicago market that
there is danger of its being cured as
hams or bacon and scattered over the
country. All diseased pork should be
sent to the soap-factories.

People Along the EIbe Shore.

One of the most pleasing traits, to me,
in the German character is the Kindness
shown to animals. One is not made
miserable, as in Italy, by seeing the
wretched, raw, bleeding horses straining
at an impossible load, kicked and lashed
into hopeless efforts TO drag a weight far
beyond their strength. On the contrary,
the fine horses which draw the loads of
stone or wood are as we'll fed and
groomed as those between the shafts of
a carriage. Indeed, humanity would
here seem to be carried almost to ex-
cess.
Particularly glad is one to see well
treated the good dogs which so willingly
drag about the little carts, reminding
one of Ouidas pathetic story, "A Dog
of Flanders" / often see the market
women put down sack for the good
beasts to lie on, and it is pleasant to hear
their cheerful greeting when their mis-
tress returns; and amusing enough to
see two rivals barking eXcitedly at each
other, while the women, laughing give
a helping or restraining hand. All, too,
who have beeen in Germany will remem-
ber the little wooden boxes fixed up in
trees or against houses for the birds TO
make their homes in.
But though humane the Saxons are
