of Mother Seigels Almanacks and
read of the great cures wrought by
the Syrup in cases like hers.
The Board pitied the poor lone
woman and granted her petition, be-
lieving, however, the syrup would
prove as useless as the other medi-
cines she had already taken. What
was their astonishment to find, in the
course of a few days, that she had
not only been able to get out of bed,
but to move about outside the house,
and had taken journeys to consid-
cradle distance, and was actually en-
joying better health than since she
was first taken ill. The asthma and
bronchitis, which were no more than
symptoms of her true disease Gndi-
gestion and dyspepsia), rapidly
abated, and it now seems that Bar
bara will soon be as hale and hearty
as the Inspector himself, and be one

the power of Mother Seigcl's Syrup

ready to perish.

A PAUPER'S DYING REQUEST.

An amusing and yet pathetic in
cident in what the poet Gray called
4" the short and simple annals of
the poor" is told by Mr.. John j. r.
Micklejohn, one of the Inspectors
of the Poor, at Sherwick, Shetland
Islands. He says that some time
ago an old woman, named Barbara
Smith, came under the notice of the
Board. She was extremely ill, and
it did not look likely that she would
long need care of any kind. She
did not reside ON the main land, bu-
on small island a few miles distant
and there being no parochial institu-
tions in that place, Barbara neces-
sarily occupied the position of a
pauper living out. The trouble
from which she suffered dated back
many years. In better and more
prosperous days she had in some
way laid the foundation for Chronic
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and out
of this had sprung other complaints
as age and bodily intirmities crept
apace upon her.
Barbara was not ignorant, albeit
she had fallen into poverty. In ear
lier life she somehow obtained the
advantage of fair education, and
this, added to native shrewdness,
enabled her to use good judgment in
respect to her own situation and
state of health. Although she had
long suffered from asthma and a
bronchial affection, Barbara was
wise enough to see that these all
ments arose from the disordered
stomach and digestion, and that if
the main trouble could be cured the
others would soon leave her. 1t is
probable that her disease began as
others do, with the usual symptoms !:
headaches, bad breath, the rising of
sour fluids in the throat, oppression
and falntness at the pit of the stom-
ach, loss of sleep, coated tongue,
dull eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
&C., and finally became chronic and
hopeless through her not being able
to find any remedy. The Inspector
states that she had been under med
ical treatment for years, but to no
effect. In this strait she one day
made the following touching appeal
to the Inspector: ~ have been
swallowing medicines for months.
They do me no good. l am going
on from worse to worse. can en-

BIC SHAKES AT RAGGARAI.

Tho Old Son tn Church Crystal Cha ndelier
FAILS and is Shattered.
The superb old chandelier, which for near
ly 100 years has hung from the ceiling of the
Old South Meeting House of Boston, fell
from its fastenings few days ago and was
broken into fragments. There was but one
person in the building at the time of tho ac-
cident, and while the loss of so curious and
valuable an historic object is to be deplored
the public is to be congratulated that no one
was injured. The chandelier appears to
have been fastened to the ceiling in the most
inadequate manner. A wire rope descended
on the en1 of which were two small iron
hoops joined together to bring the eyes OPP
posite and held in position by a winding of
small copper wire. The clasp thus formed
was attached 10 the chandelier. The
hooks were made apparently of very
inferior iron, and gradually, under the
weight Of the chandelier-400 pounds
Strengthened out and allowed the valuable
pendant to drop to the floor. The church is
at present in the hands of the American
Diorama Company, whose representatives
are exceedingly cautious about giving any
information concerning tho accident, 1t is
stated by them that the changes being made
in the building preparatory to the exhibition
there have mad nothing to do with the falling
of the chandelier. The chandelier was pre-
scented to the society by Mr.. John Sweetser,
all Old and respected Boston merchant,
prominently connected with tho Old South
and member of its standing committee
Ere the chandelier could be delivered, how
over, Mr.. Sweetser died, his widow carrying
out the project, and the chandelier was hung
in the autumn of 1902. 1t was of beau
tiful workmanship, the material being
finely cut. French glass and the fittings We're
all Of the finest brass, tho whole costing
$500. II was designed for candles
and when lighted, presented beautiful
sight. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Sweetser is
On the records Of the society which was cont
municated to her by the minister at that
time, Rev. Dr. Eckley. When the Old South
society vacated the old meeting house in
Washington street, they took with them
everything of personal character which was
movable-the chandelier with the rest. This
was in 1874. At the request of the preserva-
tive committee, the chandelier was recently
lent by the society to be hung once more in
its accustomed place. No money considera-
ton could have purchased this valuable relic,
MS it was a reminder OF ono of the most
earnest workers the society ever had.

Curious Experiences of Animals.

From time to time one hears of vari-
Gus mishaps by which cats fall into the
path of fly wheels of engines and are
carried round and round for hours on
the inside rim of the wheel, and gener-
ally the information concludes with
some observation upon the wondrous
muscular power of cats, enabling them
to hold their position for such time.
A dog in the engine room of public
station of the water works, while look
ing through slit in the floor provided
for the wheel, saw cat in the base
ment below He attempted to spring
upon her between the spokes of the
wheel, but was caught and carried
around on the inside rim for several
revolutions On his release he would
not ever enter or approach the building
again.
The engine tender of one of the large
armories in Connecticut perceived what
he supposed to be piece of newspaper
on the inside Of the fly wheel of the
engine, and was somewhat provoked
that anyone should be so disorderly as
to throw paper in that way. But when
the mill was stopped at noon cat
jumped out and, instead of being af-
fronted or permanently terrified by them
voluntary ride of several hours, did NOT
abandon the engine room.
The engineer in printing office OF
one of the newspapers in Montreal, dis
covered, as he thought, large piece Of
paper on the inner rim of the fly wheel,
and at the expiration of five hours, when
the engine was stopped, a cat jumped
out, somewhat demoralized but not per.
manently injured.
Instead OF wondering how cat could
hold on under such circumstances, an
examination of the facts will lead one to
question why the beast was not squeezed
to death by centrifugal force. Apply
ing the formular and assuming what APP
pears to be proper limit for the radius
of gyration of cat, shows that the CEN
trifugal force in this instance on the in
side rim of the fly wheel of the engine
which was ten feet in diameter, revolv
ing fifty times per minute, was SIT
times gravity; so that the cat was really
pushed at all times against the rim with
pressure at least 3-4 times its owl
weight.

Preserving Bodies For Dissection.

Having arrived at the place of desti-
nation, tho ''cadavers" are injected
with preserving fluid and placed in
an immense refrigerator Properly pre-
pared, a body will stand exposure to
the atmosphere Of a dissecting-room for
month or six weeks. There exists
considerable rivalry among the embalm-

the best method of preservation. In
