Care of Neglected Children.

One of the most original and courage
ous attempts to relieve the afflicted was
made by Mrs. Cornelius Du Bots a num-
Der of years ago, In taking twenty chill
dren, pronounced blind, from Randall's
Island. They were put In a comfortable
house, well cared for and the best medical
attention secured. In less than q year
seventeen of the twenty had their eye
sight restored. 1t was not disease, but
neglect, that had deprived them Of 1t.
Imagine the joy of these poor little souls
that had been taught they must grope
through life as In one long night. The
light from seventeen pair Of grateful
eyes-wnat q halo for the head OF a good
ANGEL
The next experiment will, to ears
polite, seem q more daring one. There
was at that time q belief prevalent that
the itch was not only a contagious, but
III incurable disease, and when Mrs Du
Bots sent for twenty children who were
suffering from 1t, Randal's Island drew
q breath Of relief, and society In which
the brave woman was a leader buried its
face in a perfumed handkerchief. The
children were exceptionally depraved,
and In a state too disgusting 70 be de-
scribed. Care and cleanliness took the
place Of fire and sword, the Gospel prac-
tically applied did the rest. and twenty
healthy, happy aud well behaved chill
dren grew up to call their be~nefactress

Robbed Her Employers

KREDEBsTowN, Pa, May 3I.-Misg
Mary Milestone, a domestic in the fam
lily OF Theodore Parker, a prominent citi-
zen Of this place, has been missing since
Friday last. 1t was at first thought she
had been spirited away or foully dealt
with. Mr.. Parker, who had been away a
week, arrived home yesterday and began
an investigation. He soon learned that
John Nauss, a young barber, had not
been seen since noon on Saturday, and
suspicious of an elopement were aroused.
He afterwards discovered that cash, Jew
elry and other property, valued at over
81, 200, had disappeared. The girl had
been with the family about eight years,
and during the last four years had han
died considerable money in settling small
bills. 1t was not an u%nfrequent thing for
MIR. Parker to entrust large amounts with
her to pay out in his absence. His wife.
however, always kept the key of a small
safe in which the money was placed.
From this safe there is missing $500 in
gold and notes, a lady's gold watch and
chain worth $l75, a diamond ring worth
$205, a pair of earrings and breastpin
valued at $3.50 and several hundred dol
lars worth of dress goods and dresses
belonging to Mrs. Parker. Mr.. Parker
has taken steps to intercept the runa-

Novel Method OF sw1ndllng.

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, May 3l.-A
method of swindling was played at Coesse,
a village in the eastern part of this county,
on Monday night. The victim is William
Allen, the proprietor of a general country
store. On that evening a stranger,
claiming to be a deputy United States
marshal, came to his pace Of business and
placed him under arrest for passing coun-
%terfeit money. Allen was ordered to turn
over the money in his possession, which
he promptly did. Tho bogus marshal
then decided not to remove his prisoner
until the following day, and went with
Allen to the %latter's home. During the
night the marshal found it necessary to
leave the house, and since that time he
has not been seen. The same trick was
successfully worked at Niles, Mich, a few
days ago.

An Assurance of Health.

Among the assurances of health afFor-
ded us by the regular discharge of the
bodily functions, cone is more important
and reliable than that which regularity of
the bowels gives us. If there is any
even a temporary interruption OF this
the liver and the stomach suffer conformity
with inactive organs, and still greater mis-
chief cnsues if relief is not speedily OBJ
tanned. A laxative. above all cavil, on
the score of mineral composition or VIC
lept effect, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
approved by the medical profession and a
most important item of the family materia
medica of American household. 1t is
botanic, painless in action, and if persist
ed in, effectual. The stomach and liver,
in no less degree and no less promptly
and thoroughly than the bowels, are reg
ulated and toned by it, and it is an ad-
mirable defense against malarial and rheu-
matte ailments, and a benign remedy for
kidney complaints, and debi-
lity.
