Dead Mems Bones.

An old settler informed US the other
day that La Sale is underlaid with the
bones of dead men, and that we scarcely
walk rod without stepping on the
grave of some one long since departed
There is no doubling the fact that Black:
hawk and other big Indians fought des-
perate battles over the site of this city,
and there are many bold warriors sleep
inc beneath the thunder of busy manu-
factories here instead of the roar of artil-
lery and the rattle of musketry. In some
parts of La Sale workmcn have found
carloads of human bones in eycavating
for cellars, but these are supposed to have
been the bones of white men. In the
cholera times many died and were buried
by the canal. Of late men at work on
the new railroad have turned over the
whitened bones and grinning skulls OF
those buried there, and hold them as
curiosities. There is scarcely street or
block in the city that does not cover the
last resting-place of some one, but the
march of progress leaves little time to
think of the dead of quarter of a CEN
tury or more ago, and consequently their
memory is sadly neglected.-Ld SalIs

HOSPITAL for Invalid Pet Dogs and Cats

On Bergen street, near Court, IN
Brooklyn, there is peculiar hospital.
It is devoted to dogs and cats, and is the
only one of its kind in the city. The
building is large and roomy and patients
are numerous. Well-to do people own
ing ailing pets are its principal patrons.
Each floor of the edifce is divided into
wards, and the dumb creatures under
the doctors care receive every possible
attention. Clean beds of straw or husks
are provided for each animal. While the
reporter, guided by the expert veterinary
surgeon who conducts the establishment,
was strolling through the retreat
stylishly attired lady entered with a dog.
1t was in the arms of colored maid.
From the depths of crimson blanket
a wrinkled and ugly face, ending with
black nose, peeped out The dog was
a pug and his right fore paw was
bro. ea. In few moments the whining
animal was in the hands Of the doctor,
who, with a dexterous movement, set
the fractured bore, The leg was firmly
bound with strips of cloth, liniments
were applied and the patient ''put to
bed"
While the doctor was laying the little
pet down the animal gratefully licked
his hand. and ut one time almost seemed
to laugh in the ex' ess of his JOY.
"When shall be able to take Lion
away" inquired the lady in anxious
tones.
You may call for him in ten days,
madam.'
ooh, but 1 must see him before that"
"No trouble about that, madam; call
and see him any day between ten A. NJ.
apd five +. NJ"
With murmured "thank you, SIR"
the lady departed:
At the time of the reporters visit there
were tifty-three dogs and probably half
as many cats under treatment. Some OF
the dogs were suffering with diseases
peculiar to dogs; some had been badly
gnawed in street fights with other ours;
two or three had fractured tails, and one
big fellow, evidently in the last stages of
decrepitude, was, to all appearances,
dying by inches.
YES" said. the professor, che is dying
of cd age. He is a full! blooded New
foundland and is owned by gentleman
connected with Martins Stores. When
he was placed in my hands six mouths
ago he was nothing but skin and bones.
Oh, yes, he has picked up flesh. but 1
cant save his life and he will probably
die inside of fortnight
"What do you charge for board and
treatman,l'
"Ordinarily abo"t 81 week. but in
cases where tine animal is valuable and
requires unusual care we sometimes get
double that amount"
One section of the building, the sunny
side, is reserved as the lying-in ward,
which at the time of the reporters visit
was inhabited by five canine mothers,
each of different spccies-bull dog,
mastiff, pointer, settcr.and greyhound.
The patients in that ward receive extra
attention, for which an extra price is
charged. Feline sufferers were found in
another part of the building and those
that were able were partaking of their
evening meal. The hospital throughout
is as neat as wax.-Nsao York telegram.

The w0cldrS Need.

What the worlds need demands OF US Is
not more eloquent preaching, more passion
ate appeal, more subtle philosophizing, more
originality Of thought, but the clear voiced
outspeaking Of Gods Word as it has been ap-
pretended in the deepest experience OF our
own heart and conscience. Only let men
come face to face with the facts Of redemp-
tion, and with the thoughts Of God as they
are incarnated in Jesus Christ. with their
self-evidencing light and power, and we may
trust God for all the rest. This would bring
the weary and heavy-laden round US, tke
thirsty travellers round q newly-dlscoVef

power Of prayer, of rebuking iniqulty, OF
touching consciences, Of winning hearts, and

the dry ashes alone, rubbed over the
poisoned member, were equally effective.
Since this discovery, have had no fur

many others, with like good results,

Pur,utts and F1easurcA

In regard to the awfulness Of certain pur-
suits, pleasures, and amusements, 1t is i'm,
possible to lay down any fixed and general
rule; but we may confidently say that what
ever is found to unfit you for religious duties,
or to interfere with the performance Of them,
whatever dissipates your mind or eools the
fervor.of your devotions, whatever indisposes
you to read your Bibles or TO- engage in
prayer wherever the thought Of bleeding
Saviour or Of holy God, Of the hour OF
death or of tho day Of Judgment, falls like a
cold shadow on your enjoyment, the pleasures
which you cannot thank God for, on
which you cannot ask His, blessing,
whose recollections will haunt dying bed,
and plant sharp thorns. in its uneasy pillow
these are not for you. These esehew; In
these be not conformed to the world but
transformed by the renewing Of your mind
-"Touch not, taste not, handle not" Never

never be found where you would not like
death to find you; never indulge In any
pleasure which will not bear the mornings

the world, not from its spots only, but even
from its suspieions.-[Dr. Guthrie.

The Chaneellor's Promise Fulfilled.

There are several very excellent stories
concerning Lord Chancellor Eldon.

"a promise, my dear young lady~ in.
terposed the Chancellor, trying to recall
how he had pledged himself. i
"Yes, Lord Eldon, a promise. You
were standing over my cradle when papa,
said to you: Mr.. Scott, promise me
that if ever you are Lord Chancellor
when my little girl is poor clergyman's
wife, you will give her husband living,a
and YOU answered: Mr.. Bridge, my
promise is not worth half crown, but I
give it to you, wishing it were worth
more"
Enthusiastically the Chancellor ex-
claimed: "You are quite right; l admit
the obligation remember all about il"
and then, after pause, archly surveying
the damsel, whose graces were the re-.
verse of matronly, he added: :"But surely
the time for keeping my promise Is not

For moment Miss; Bessie was Silent,
and then, with a flush and o ripple of

that when the means of utilizing the

The resistance of wood to heat may be
considerably increased, though absolute
inconbustibility cannot be secured. Tho
resisting material must take the form of
an injection into the fibers of the wood
or of q coating; and it must be not too
expensive, non-corrosive, speedy in be-
coming fixed, easily applied, neat and
unalterable. An injection of concentra-
ted solution of phosphate of ammonia Is
recommended as the best treatment for
small pieces of wood; but more gen.
orally available plan is coating with
cyanide of potassium or asbestos paint.

knsw man and his name was Horfss7,

He grumblea at morning; he grumbled at
And to grumbss and growl were his chief

He grumbled so much at his wife that she

An enterprising Paris manager htely
asked Meissonier, the great French artist,
to paint drop curtain for MS theatre.
The old master replied: Il have catcu-

valued at SIG, 900 per metre. Your cur
tain would therefore cost you 81, 320, 900.
But this is not all. 1t takes me twelve

It will therefore take me 100 years to
