wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed of in wooden shoe;
Sailed on q river of misty light
Into sea of dew.
'Where are you going, and what do you wish!"
The old moon asked the three.
1--WE have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver end gold have We"
Said Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sung a song,
AS they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind thatsped them all night long
Ruflled the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived IN the beautiful sea;
'Now cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never cfeared are we;"
60 cried the stars 10 tho fishermen three,
Wynken.
Blynkon,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas ell so pretty q sail. 1t seemed
AS IL IL could not be;
and somo folk thought twas q dream they
dreamed,
OF sailing that beautiful sea;
But shall name you the fishermen three;
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken arc two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head
AND the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is q wee ones trundle bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
AS you rock on the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three,

A nemedx for nheumatism.

Among the poor a popular remedy
for rheumatism and other aches and
pains, says The London Hospital, is a
piece of new flannel applied to the
part affected. If one inquiries why
new flannel is selected, the explana-
ton given will probably be that there
is a mysterious 'oil" in new flannel
which is good for the pain; but as q
matter Of fact the merit seems to con-
sist in the power of irritating the skin
which new flannel possesses in a
greater degree thanf>ld. It's in such
cases q mild counter irritant. True

The hole was about eight feet deep. and
was opened for the purpose of making
new connections with the water mains.
The driver managed to eXtricato one
horse. and rod to the police station
for help.
Engineer Birkinlinc. of the water
works company. was aroused, and sent
IL force of men to clear away the wreck.
The hack was piled on top of the horse.
but in such a manner that no bones
were broken. Strange to say, a paSSon-
ger in the hack escaped without injury.
This is but one Of several accidents
that have occurred there since the
holes We're opened. Danger signals are
hung out there every night, but much
trouble is experienced on account of the
lanterns being stolen OF going out.
Lanterns were found at the side of the
excavation, shortly after this last acct
dent, but they were not burning. AS
soon as the weather. mOderatcs the
holes will be filled up and all danger
will be over. but until that time parties
having occasion to travel that street in

ton Of being a vicious and quarrelsome fcl.

AMONG TIE MAGNATES.
Facts OF Interest Cleaned in Railroad
Circles.


Arrangements are now being made for Il
meeting of the general managers of all the
roads for the purpose of revising the rates to
and between all points on all roads in CON
formity with the presidents agreement. AS
to what will be the result but little is fore
Swallowed, but it is predicted that through
rates will be in certain instances raised con-
sidcrably, and that anything in this direction
wall be hostile to tho duty the railroads owe
TO the west. To what extent this will be
carried out is as yet an uncertainty, but 1t is
generally conceded thai seabOard rates will
be advanced and that when the
general managers meet some iron
clad rules will be adopted to
subordinate officials as regards the matter
of maintaining rates. The place of meeting
will be either in Chicago or st. Louis. The
informal meeting opened at St. Louis to-
day which is "a conference of the general
managers of the southwestern lines. The
general meeting will be held later. This
will result in a large reduction of SPECIAL
employees such as street passenger man and
outside solicitors. 1t will also, it IS said, re.
suit in the reduction TO IA considerable extent
of a large number of travelling passenger
agents. This part Of the retrenchment in
stituted by the presidents has been placed in
the hands Of the general passenger agents,
