A Shadow ON the Title.

When the west side was farms the country
roads ran every which way across them, and
many were really private lanes, although
open for public use. In some cases the origi-
nal owners gave deeds leaving these roads
out on the supposition that some day they
would be streets When the city came along
and laid the farms out into rectangular city
blocks, the old lanes reverted to their owners,
who were the heirs Of the original farmers,
the lanes not having been Included In the
deeds from them.
These heirs have multiplied and scattered
over the country In some instances, and In
other cases the families have died out COM
pletely. In either case II il practically inn
possible for present purchasers to get per-
feet title to the parts of the lots covered by
the lines Of the ancient lanes, 20 that across
frequent blocks run dlagonally. windingly,
Eigzag, and every other way strips fifteen or
twenty feet broad, upon which people are
afraid to build lest some heir should turn up
afterward and demand compensation for his
interest or tho removal OF the part Of the
house upon his land. Short houses are
erected on many OF these blocks and the old
lane part is left for back yard until some
one comes along to claim 1t. Some blocks
IRE entirely vacant solely on account of this

Medicine for the Emperor.

Among the packages brought in from
Mexico recently by the Wells-Fargo express
company was cubical box about one foot
each way, weighing thirty pounds, and ad-
dressed, "His Majesty, Frederick III, EN-
peror OF Germany, King Of Prussia, Berlin,
Germany" When opened by the customs
officials the box was found to contain four
quart bottles, carefully packed in chaffs and
containing a dark colored liquid. Each
bottle was wrapped in red, white and green
tissue paper, the Mexican national colors, and
a piece of ribbon of the same patriotic colors
covered the cork Of each bottle On each
bottle was printed label containing a mes
sage to Emperor Frederick and q description
of tho contents Of the bottles, with direc-
tions for using. The liquid was stated to be
an Indian vegetable juice, prepared by the
discoverer and sent from an interior city Of
Mexico to insure spet " cure Of the sick
monarch. If taken according to directions
the juice is guaranteed to -annihilAte any
disease of the lungs and thnost. The sender
pays all express charges apd customs due on

Successfully rransplantine an Eye.

It is said that the operation of transplant
ing clear piece Of rabbits cornea into the
blind eye Of a patient, performed ten days
ago at the Presbyterian Eye and Ear Charity
hospital, Of Baltimore, has proved success.
At the end of a week the bandages were re-
moved and the eye exposed to the light. The
piece Of the rabbits cornea was completely
united to the human eye and had grown to
the edge of the hole made in the blind eye
opposite the pupil The clear graft had be-
come cloudy in the process Of uniting to the
human eye. Already, however, it has begun
to clear up, and the man is beginning to en-
joy the privilege Of seeing. This he has not
done for three years, when his eyes were de-
stroyed by lime. The operation of trans
planting in the left eye was SO satisfactory

A recent announcement as to the national
fty Of the employees Of q cotton manufacture
ing company illustrates the change which
has taken place In the character of mill oper-
atives in this country since manufacturing
was in its infancy. In those days factory
employees in such places as Manchester, Low
ell, Lawrence and Worcester were recruited
mostly from families in the country towns.
SO far from the lot of mill operative being
looked down upon, it was then considered
honorable, and for a number Of years native
American girls made up the great body OF
the working force in the manufactures.
Gradually the foreign element was intro
duced, and as these people could live cheaper
and consequently work for less wages, the
native Americans, in the course of q few
years, were nearly all displaced by foreign.
ers. The French Canadians now form large
proportion of the employees in the mills Of
New England, though there are elso many
Scotch, English, Irish, French, German, and
some Italian operatives. OF the Armory
company's 800 employees, one-third are French
Canadians and the rest are of various nation
alities, only eighty, or one-tenth of the whole,
being native Americans What is true of
this company is also substantially true of all
the great manufacturing companies in New
England Nor is it necessary to go to the
cities to see the change that several decades
have wrought in tho character of the factory

England, which has been the subject of sc
much pride among the native residents, il

The Famous Endicott Pear Tree

The world famous Endicott pear tree,
planted by Governor John Endicott on the
ancient orchard farm at Danvers New Mills
In 1880 or 1888, Is dead Tradition has 1t
that 1880 was the date when the venerable
tree was planted, but there is also evidence
that Governor Endicott did not break up the
ground for his orchard until 1858. There is
no doubt, however, of the great antiquity of
the pear tree and that it was fron ESQ TO 26O
years old when Its last vital spark went out.

The Dog Was Not Consulted.

A curious medical experiment was made at
Portland Me-, during the session of the State
Medical association. 1t was designed to il
lustrate lecture by Dr. S. III. Weeks on the
subject of Penetrating Wounds of the Alb
domen." A large coach cog, after being
etherized, was shot by one of the Galens,
who displayed much greater accuracy of aim
than the average policeman shows in his
pistol practice ON rabid CANNES The weap-
on was SO leveled that the ball should pierce
the intestines. After the wound had been
inflicted, and while the animal was uncon-
scious Of the high honor done him, a quantity
Of carbonic acid gas was injected into the sys-
tenn.
The point Of interest was to ascertain what
would become Of the gas. If the intestines
had been perforated the theory was that the
gas would escape from the wound. II there
was no escape by that outlet the presumption
would be that the intestines had not been
perforated. As is usual in such cases the
operation was pronounced "a perfect sue
cess" although the sentiments of the dog are
not reported. 1t Is well to know of the re-
suit of this experiment., since any one who
has reason to suppose that his abdominal do
main has been rudely invaded by knife or
ball can settle the question for himself with
out incurring the expense of the services of q
doctor.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Houses with Chicago connections that were
active buyers of grangers yesterday were

that the advance of yesterday was gotten up
by prominent bears here for the purpose of
putting out u fresh line of shorts at better

ing rather extensively for some days past,
and shorts took fright at the firmncss of the
general market, and went into cover, thus
pushing the price up on themselves. At
noon the market was dull and steady at "a
shade better than the lowest prices. Tele-
graphic communication with the west is seri-
ously interrupted to-day owing to the heavy
floods in the Mohawk valley, and the pro.
