How Rheumatics Should Dress.

Flannel Undertaking, or call it wool,
is not cure for chronic rheumatism,
but it is so sure preventative that !
am justified in urgently recommending
its use. Nay, further; without holding
extreme views, like the German doctor,
/ would advise patients who are sub
ject to rheumatism or rheumatic govt
to adopt the wooden system of clothing
almost entirely, both by night and by
day. There is no reason at all why the
sheets of the bed should not be of wool,
pillow-cases alone being of linen. If
this plan were adopted there would be
but little chance indeed of catching a
chill in bed. Once adopted, so great
would be the comfort obtained and the
safety ensured that the old linen or
cotton sheets would be very soon dis
carded. | must here warn the invalid,
however, against neglecting to have
these wooden sheets or thin blankets
regularly washed. | would carry my
scheme of wooden day clothing 50 far
as to permit neither linen next to the
skin nor, except on particular and I'M
avoidable dress occasions, linen any
where; and the same rules should be
carried out summer and winter. OF
the feet and limbs particular care should
be taken. The shoes or boots-boots
are best-ought to be strong, of the
best leather, and roomy enough to adj
NIT a warm worsted sock or stocking
being worn. These should be soft, and
on no account should they be worn
after they become damp with perspira-
ton or otherwise. Those who suffer
from chronic rheumatism have often
weak right hearts; the blood does not
find its way back from the feet with celer-
ity, and heat and perspiration are the
results. Thousands of people not only
catch cold, but positively catch their
deaths, through the feet. Why will
they not be warned? Socks and stock
ings are cheap enough, yet ! know
many who spend pounds on their backs
and begrudge pence on their feet.
Two pairs of stockings or socks week!
This is not enough, reader If you
are subject to rheumatism, or have an
idiosyncrasy that points that way, or if
you are ever troubled with acidity or
heartburn, change the socks once day.
If you do, you will live to bless the

Gbe firesioe,
Our Little Ones.

There's clatter on the stair,
There's chatter In the air.
Where our little ones are rompng right merrly;
There's shout sent along
And some snatches of song
From baby voices caroling cheerily.
There's litter In the hall,
There are stains on the wall;
The windowpanes have marks of little fingers;
There's an antiquated dolly
Looking sad and melancholy,
Whose loneliness, though lost still fingers.
Mother Goose, with paper wings,
Dog-eared and dirty, sings
OF the marvellous in miscellany rhyming;
While the nurse reads tween mods
OF goddesses and gods
With baby prattle lispingly Ginning.
There are bumps, there are tumbles,
There are rolls, there are rumbles
There are little folks joys and sorrows;
There are trials sore to-day
Which quickly pass away
In assurances of hopeful to-morrows.
Then from the hopeful morrow
Let us generously borrow
All that we may that is beaming, bright and merry
For our little ones to-day
SO happy in their play,
All, full soon will be way worn and weary.

My Baby.

BY MRS. 5. II. GRAHAM CLARK.
My baby never cries.
Her merry laugh rings out
In Joy that knows no doubt,
Both musical and sweet,
And like her dancing feet,
Free rs the breeze that signs.
My baby never means
She sings her little songs,
Broken with gay diphthongs
OF glancing baby glee,
As happy hmnming bee
Mid honey-bower roams,
My baby never signs.
But little thrills of bliss
Enhance joys consciousness,
And quick-caught breaths of peace
Break waves which never cease,
Where glory never dies.
My baby troubles not.
Some babys cry hear,
1t grieves my heart and ear;
My baby's heart is gay,
She's happy all the day;
Dear Lord, how sweet the thought.
My baby, o my babe!
Rich child year to-day
In heaven, where joy holds sway,
And pain recedes with sin
And lets no shadow in.
My heavenly little babel
l hold up empty arms
And weep out joy and praise
That thou art rich and safe
That arms love theihest
Enfold thee in their rest,
Away from all alarms.

The Bishops ofthe Episcopal Church
in triennial convention at Chicago,
sent out a. pastoral, which makes
pointed reference to tho intense con
ditions of modern life. Among the
most obvious and alarming perils, the
Bishops say, are the temptations in.
cident to q rapid increase OF wealth,
the contempt of lawful authority and
the spread of unbelief. Tho increase
OF poverty, discomfort and pride are
as marked as the accumulation OF
fortunes and the growth of luxury.
How" the Bishops ask, ''shall this
discomfort and misery be remedied,
wealth recognize its stewardship, at.
fuence own the brotherhood OF map,
and the less favored and successfulot
the community be rendered cheerful
and contented with their lott" But
the Bishops do not answer the ques.
ton, neither can any body Of politi.
clans nor ecclesiastics. 1t implies 4
condition Of affairs that have existed

The Jury ON the Rio Wreck.

The coroner's jury at Rio has concluded
it's investigation OF the recent disaster.
The following is it's finding: We find
that the above persons came to their
deaths by being crushed and burned to
death in the day coach OF said train, and we
find the said switch was left open by the
negligence OF c. H. Wells, an employe ofthe
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company.
The verdict is signed by John Buchanan,
foreman; John UrQuhart, Milo Phelps, Ed.
win Fisk, G. NJ. Morris, David Robertson,
and B.. NJ. Allen, o Wells has been
arrested at the instance of the oroner,
and was taken before a Justice OF THE peace,
charged with criminal negligence. He WAS
bound over to appear before the circuit
court.
Special Agent John A. Hinsey, who rep.
resents the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad in negotiating settlements for the
claims for damage to life and baggage by
the Rio smash-u up, says: I have made no
more settlements since those already re-
ported, although some are pending. The
baggage claims and the Winter family alone
been paid. AS the other claims are
there will be no objections to max
ing it public, but / shall not give the
amounts OF individual settlements. The
object to have their affection for

More Disturbances IN Chicago.

On the 9th inst. there began another
formidable strike at the stock yards for
eight hours a day. The old worknleen as
saulted the newly employed. As the hi orn-
ing progressed the strikers became more 8 b
stinate and the deputy sheriffs found greater
difficulty in dispensing them. About 8
o'clock the crowd at the yards got more
noisy, and assaults on non-union men be-
cane more frequent. Two regiments OF
military were ordered out and went to the
scene. A proclamation was issued by
Sheriff Hancock saying:
On and after Nov. 8 and until further
notice, entrance to Packingtown will be
open for admission for all men who desire
to go to work, and for all persons who de-
sire to do business with packing houses or
in the stock yards. No other person will
be admitted. Ample protection will be
furnished for all men who desire to go to
work..
A meeting OF packers was held in the di,
reetor's room Of the board OF trade. Rep
re~sentatives Of every one OF the packing
houses were present. The decision reached
was unanimous. After discussing the sit
uation the resolutions were drafted and
adopted without a dissenting voice. The
signatures OF the packers were then affix-
ed. Only those strikers will be taken back
to work who will sign an agreement to re-
nounce all connection with the knights 81

Salisbury ON the Bulgarian Dificulty.

Lord Salisbury, in a speech at the lord
said, in referring to Bulgaria: The sympa.
thies OF the English people were aroused
by the spectacle OF her struggle fer inde-
p%endence, and the language of diplomatic
menace used toward Bulgaria had caused
the deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy
LED by men debauched by foreign gold had
hunted Prince Alexander from the throne
OF Bulgaria and outraged the conscience
and sentiment OF Europe. The injustice OF
this deed was aggravated by foreign diplo.
macy saving the conspirators, an act OF in.
reference which caused reprobation
throughout Europe. Bulgarian rights were
assured by the Berlin treaty, on which the
salvation OF Europe depended. English
interest in that treaty was not an isolated
interest. Other powers also were interest
ed in the vindication of the treaty. He
was sure that if a majority OF the signato.
ry powers recognized the fact that it was
their duty to enforce the treaty, England
would not be found backward in co-operat-
ing with them. II England's individual in.
terests only were affected, England would
ask no counsel and would seek to assist
ance, but would defend her int erests with
her own arm; out in this instance she
would not accept the responsibility of iso-
lated action. The government policy was
shaped in harmony with that of Austria.
He trusted that the peace would not be
disturbed, and that under the influence OF
public opinion the infant liberties of Bull.
garia would not be disturbed.

The New Governor Of Wyoming.

A Washington friend of his says: One OF
the most fortunate men l ever knew is
George w. Baxter. He was always a man
OF great personal magnetism and most
pleasing address. His father was Judge
John Baxter of Tennessee, whose brother
was governor of Arkansas during tho
Brooks.Baxter %imbroglio. Young George
entered West Point in 1877 and graduated,
being ordered Immediately to the frontier;
where he was engaged in several lively
brushes with the Indians. Before he left
Tennessee he was betrothed to the daughter
OF Col. Charles MCGEE, one OF the wealthiest
men of the South, and president of the
East Tennessee, Virginia Il Georgia rail
road. After graduating from West Point
he married her and took his vile to Wyom-
ing. He resigned from the army in 1882
and entered the cattle business, in which
he made an independent fortune. His PER-
sonal qualities made him popular all over
the state. and when he called on President
Cleveland as an applicant for the govern. r.
ship Of Wyoming he had the backing Of the
entire state, the Tennessee delegation and
Attorney General Garland. He is . true
Democrat, and a stauch man. %

composed state by a boy who was out hunt.
ing. Wentworth, whom the prisoner &C
cuses -of administering the fatal blow Was
killed by a train on the Milwaukee
road near Cresco, nine days after the

with foul play or else he committed
suicide. The parties connected with the
CRIME were OF highly respected families. It
ID reported that the grand jury has indict-
ed Beaman for murder. There has been
some talk Of lynching Beaman. but the

fully prepared to meet an attack II made.

ly and his assailants were about twenty

SWEPT BY HURRICANE.
Madrid and Other Spanish Cities
Devastated


MADRID, May ia terrible hurricane
has just swept across the middle of Spain.
In this city seventy persons are known to
have been instantly killed, and 200 others
have been seriously injured The wind
struck the city with the suddenness of
lightning. A train of cars and cabs
were overturned and broken into splinters,
roofs were dislodged, and telegraph
wires everywhere torn from the poles,
The parks in and about the city were de-
vastated, and in some cases entirely de-
nuded. One church tower was blown down.
A number of houses in the suburbs were
entirely wrecked, and of the many cottages
on the outskirts of the capital which were
blown from their foundations and wrecked,
some were SO completely and quickly bro
ken up and scattered by the wind that they
may be said to have simply vanished before
the storm. Telegraphic communication
has been so completely cut off that it is i'm
possible to obtain news from the provinces,
but it is believed that the ruin wrought by
the hurricane has been widespread.
The Queen visited the various points in
the city and suburbs where the damage
wrought by the hurricane was most marked.
Her Majesty expressed profound sorrow at
the loss of life and much sympathy with
those whose homes had been wrecked by the
storm. The damage will exceed 81, $780,
600. The queen sent a sum of money to be
applied to the relief of the distressed.
Animals evinced the widest terror during
the hurricane. Farm crops and villages are
distressingly ravaged in the country dis
trictS, the working classes suffering the
severest losses. Many washerwomen were
blown into the river at Manzanases and
twenty-eght drowned. The largest tree in
Madrid, which stood in front of the parlia-
ment building, was blown down. The hos
pitfalls are crowded with sufferers The
storm was preceded by several days hot
weather
