A MoTHER,s CARE,E n,sr4Kr

st. Joseph special: The fatal mistake
of mother, which caused the death Of
one child and all but killed another, was
made known to-day. Mrs. Tom Hart,
living at Fourth and Oak streets, was
giving her children quinine treatment
for ague. Friday night, just before the
children were to be put to bed, the
mother took what she thought was the
quinine bottle and gave the children
large dose. Within few moments the
daughter grew black in the face, with all
the symptoms of morphine poisoning.
and in an hour was dead. all treatment
failing to revive her or cause her to re-
cover consciousness. The boy was not
taken in the same manner. He became
drowsy, and symptoms of coming
spasms. He was walked constantly un.
til morning, and is now out of danger.
The, little girl was buried to-day. The
mother states that she had morphine and
auinine in the house in bottles almost
the same size and shape, and in the
semi-darkness took the morphine bottle.

A Hornets Nest in a Clock.

G. F. Kleine, a jeweler in San An
tonic, Texas. has very great curiosity
in the shape of small round clock, such
as are sold generally for about So, con-

brought it to him saying his mother had
had it fixed only a few weeks before and
it wouldn't work. When Mr.. Kleine
came to open the clock, what was his
astonishment to fad beautifully con-
structed wasp's nest or mud throwers,

pleased was he with the novel sight that
he gave the young man a new clock for

entered through the hole in the top of
the clock, where the hammer of the
alarm works, and proceeded to make
themselves at home. York

$50 here am writing at home, dear
And you so far away,
And when you read the letter,
wonder what you will say.
The green leaves whisper around me,
The nightingales sing above,
Just as they did that day, dear,
When you told me all your lover
81 can see her." he fondly whispered,
As he sat by the far campfire,
And read and read her letter
With heart that could never tire
81 can see her true eyes shining
As she leans on her little hand,
And gazes and dreams about me
Here in this distant landl"
The bugle rang out at midnight,
The fight was lost ere morn,
He fell, with his old battalion,
Leading hope forlorn;
While at home the sun is shining,
And the roses of June unfold,
But the maiden is quietly weeping
As she dreams her dream Of old.

In August, 1856, three high officials
left China as an imperial Commission
to examine into the condition of their
countrymen abroad After year alb
sence they have reported upon the state
of the Chinese in Spanish, British, aud
Dutch colonies. In the PHILIPPINES the
Chinese community complain bitterly of
wrongs at the hands of the Spaniards,
and beg for Consuls. There are about
fifty thousand Chinese there, prosperous
in business, and they are murdered,
burned out, and plundered without re-
dress. In Singapore they number
$50, 900 and are the richest among the
inhabitants, owning fouT-ffths of the
landed property. In Mslacca and Selan.
gore they are we'll protected, and several
of them are millionaires. The Chinese
in the Dutch colonies complain of being
outrageously treated. In Australia
they prayed hard for measures for their
protection. There are several millions

Senator Bate of Tennessee has, says
the Atlanta Constitution, popularity,
in that he invariably appears with a
cigar in his mouth, but no one has yet
seen him smoking. While he used to
be an inveterate smoker, for the last
twenty years he has never lighted q
cigar. Conversing with some of his
friends he told them the story. In a
battle during the war Senator Bate and
his brother, Colonel Bate, were together.
They were in conversation, when the
Senator drew from his pocket cigar,
and struck match with which to light
it As he did so a cannon ball tore
his brothers head completely from his
body. The cigar was not lighted, and
to this day he has never lit one, and
probably never will

Tea Drinking and the Teeth.

Some years since, when on duty at
recruiting stations in the north of Eng
land, ! took observation on the great
amount of disease and loss of the teeth
existing among the class of men offering
themselves. 1t became a cause of re-
lection of itself in great numbers. As
far as inquiries went l was led to trace
it to the excessive tea drinking INDUCED
in by the working classes in the manu-
featuring towns, and this went on all
through the day. whether with food or
not. In fact, instead of o'clock tea
being the invention of the upper classes,
it was found to exist to a, injurious ex
tent in the working classes long before
that'time. Tea seems to have Pc
culiar tendency to cause hyperamia in
the tooth sacs. leading to Inflammation
and, eventually, abscess of the fang,
with, of course, dentralgia at every
stage. Whether this special tendency
was due to theme or tanniu having an
elective affinity for dentinc it is not
possible for me to say. 1t would be
curious to know if medical men,
practicing in such manufacturing dis
tricts, had observed the deterioration of
teeth to be coiucident with tea drink

According to Mr.. Mookerjee, a Hin
doc authority on pisciculture, the re-
suits of fish farming are remarkable.
Professor Huxley has stated that an acre
of land will produce in year ton of
grain or two or three hundred weight
of meat. The same area of water, how
ever, will yield greater weight of fish
in week. There seems to be no good
reason, says Public Opinion, why fish
ahould not be made a more important
part Of the diet, and with wellman-
aged fish pond on every farm large
amount of nutritious, valuable, and ex-
cellent food could be easily produced at
a very small expense. The subject is
well worth the careful attention of
thoughtful farmers.

An CnambiiiOus Man.

No hot ambition, wild and wan,
Deforms my life so fair,
I'd like to be a selectman,
And have folks call me squire
But I'd not climb the topmost height,
The wind of Fame's wild sport,
But yet 'twouli be no more than right,
went TO General Court:
And so I'd live and die content
In modest, shy retirement.
It's true, may move into tow;
Before my hair is grayer,
An then | hope TO gam renown
And be elected mayor;
But would not be grand and grea
To make the people stare,
But were j governor of the state,
think would not care,
Nor let Fame's tempest-torn control,
Mar my sweet quietude of soul
I'd live the most content of men,
Far from Fame's maddening roar,
And could | go to Congress then,
think I'd ask no more
Of course the President must be
The man the people choose,
And should the people turn to me,
could not well refuse.
But still ambition would not harm
Ny souls serene, transcendent calm
Iwish no splendor when die,
But all things neat and plain,
A catafalque of ebony,
A six mile funeral train;
And / would rest in pace content
II my loved land should raiss
A million-dollar monument,
To speak to future days.
Let others toll and strain for fame
/ am content without name.

HOW THEY MANAGED.

'Pack up your thin gs as soon as you
please, my dear" said Mr.. Chesney.

about that. Mrs. Chesncy had always

ney, with a little start.
'1nto the country," said the family
autocrat. I'm tired of this city bust
ness. 1t costs a great deal more than it
comes to. I'm told that you can live
at half the expense in the country"
'But," gasred his wife, "what is to
become of the children's education"

IN the neighborhood, not more than a

mile from the place, and I've bar

Meanwhile Mr.. Chesney explained
to his wife the various advantages
which were to accrue from the promised
move.
"1t's unfortunate" said he, 'that
Elma and Rosie aren't boys. Such
lot of women folks are enough to
swamp any family. Men, now, can
always earn their bread. But we must
try to make everybody useful in some
way or other. It's so healthy, you
know" added he. ''And the rent
wont be half of what we pay here"
