a Coffin on Her Back.

From the Neto York Star.
A very dgnifed lady of 30, looking like a
duchess, STROBE through Union square yester-
day forenoon. THAT lady said one who knew
her, carries a coffin on her back. She is Ber-
liner. and in her youth she had two lovers, both
OF whom she encouraged. Her fickleness
brought on rivalry between them, and at last
one sent challenge to the other. They fought
duel, in which the youngest of them was
killed, and it is the shadow of his coffin that
she carries through the streets of New York
After time she married the rival who slew her
lover, but In a short time he died under dramatic
circumstances. She subsequently became the
wife of yet another man, who brought her to
who do not know the record of her career

Miss Mary Anderson was expected to act
as one of the bridesmaids at the marriage,
on Jan. 8, CT her brother to the daughter of
Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, but she has declined
to do SO. = Her reason will impress the pub
lie as being remarkable. She says she is
afraid Of stage fright. She is accustomed
to facing audiences at the theater, but it
would be a new experience for her to act as
bridesmaid at a marriage in a church She
has consented to be present as a spectator,
however, and it is hoped that she will be
able to retain her composure in that
capacity.

A report, said to be well attested, is that
Gen. Harrison has determined to have one
southern man in his cabinet, and that his
choice has been narrowed down to Malone
of Virginia, Golf of West Virginia, and
Agnus Of Maryland. Col. Buck and Gen.
Longstreet will notice that this seems TO
knock them out as cabinet probabilities.
The MORNING NEWS is not engaged in
offering Gen. Harrison advice with regard
to his cabinet, but it suggests again that
Brother Blaine and Gen. Malone might not
pull together.

The public school system of New York is
excellent, but it is not perfect, and there is
some complaint concerning it. One cause
Of complaint is that the superintendent has
too much TO do, ard, therefore, does his
work Enthusiastically. Another is that
many teachers obtain and retain their
places through political influence-the can
didate with the longest "pull" frequently
securing the prize These are very serious
objections. The superintendent should have
enough work to occupy his time, but not so
much that he would attend 10 1t hastily
and. Of course. teachers who are selected
because they are backed by friends who
are Influential politically cannot always be
the best. In fact, they may frequently DO
incompetent, and yet be- retained.

BLOOD Wiil Tell.

There is no question about it---blood will
tell-especially If it be an impure blood.
Blotches, oruptions, pimples anu boils. are
all symptoms of an impure blood, due to
the improper action of the liver. When
this important organ fails to properly per-
ing the blood, impurities are carried TO all
parts of the system, and the symptoms
above referred TO are merely evidences Of
the struggle of Nature to throw off the
poisonous germs. Unless her warning be
needed in time, serious results are certain
to follow, eliminating In liver or kidney
disorders, or even in consumption. DR..

ing the liver to a healthy condition.

) THE seeds Of carrots and parsnips
are very slow in terminating. and to
this cause is due the failure on the part
of some farmers to grow those crops
The seed should be sown early, SO as to
have the young plants make some head
way before the grass shall begin to
grow thickly, or hand-weeding must be
resorted to. 1t would be hest to use
plenty of seed, planting them n"stoolo
about Six inches apart In the rows, and
thin out the surplus plants after they
shall be up.
1T Is not safe to suddenly change &, .
food Of cows from the dry l,ny a.d
grain to an exclusive green litt. If
rye shall come In for pasturing allow
the COWS but q few minutes upon it the
frst day, gradually extending the time
every day thereafter until they shall be-
come accustomed to the green food.
In this manner may be avoided bowel
diseases and a falling off Of milk.
TIE cost of milk depends upon tho
cost OF the food, hence the more milk
received from COW in proportion to
food given the cheaper the cost. But
unless warm quarters be given q large
quantity Of food must be diverted to
creating warmth for the body, and it
would therefore be economical to keep
the COWS comfortable in order to
chaapen the cost by lessening the
amount Of food required for bodily
warmth. In other words, shelter is
food, as it protects the animals against
cold.
