Curious Transmittal of DiseAs..

In 1916 a boy of eight years, the brother
Of the narrator's wife, was taken down with
scarlet fever and died, says writer in the
Boston Post. One of the principal amuse-
ments OF his illness had been looking over q
large picturebo0k. After his death this,
with several other useful piaythings, was
packed away in trunk. Twenty-six years
later, in 1872, the sister-in-law of the editor
took this trunk with her on a journey which
she made to England, where he was then
residing. The trunk was opened the second
day after its arrival, and the picture-book
was taken ont and presented to the editors
two-year-old son. During the next fortnight
the little fellow was attacked by scarlet
fever. 1t was q wonder to the doctors VINO
were called in consultation how the disease
had been contracted, as there had been no
scarlet fever in the town for years. At last
il occurred to the editor that the picture
book might have transmitted the disease,
and the medical Laen in attendance, on being
told the facts connected with il, agreed
that it had retained the poison for twenty
six years and communicated it to the child.
TIE price of $4,000 which was paid for
the Angelus was the largest ever given for
picture sold at auction, with the exception
of the sum PAID for Murillo's Conception,
now in the Louvre, which the French Gov
eminent DouSnG at the SAFE OF Marshal
| Soult. That brought $1l7,500.
The most extensive building in the world
is undoubtedly Machinery Hall, in the Paris
Exposition. 1t is nearly quarter of mile
long and $40 feet broad. Its roof, which
covers $1,000 square feet, is one great
arch, spanning the entire distance from
side to side without single intervening
support.
New studies are introduced. from time to
time, into the curriculum of educational ins
stitutions. In circular lately issued by q
successful private school Of New York, 1t IS
announced that, besides the course of study
in the ordinary branches, INSTRUCTION will
be given in describing and classifying the
plants.n and the following words are Indie
alive of the range of teaching in this line:
..Plants-Curious features of their growth
and development noted; study Of tree
blossoms and common flowers"
THE largest electric railway system In
the word il is said, is in Topeka, Kan. The
plant has been established at cost OF
S600OOO There are sixteen aud half
miles Of track in the system. Richmond,
| va, has for some time claimed the largest
plant, but it only operates twelve miles. A
speed of fifteen miles eau be obtained, but
4 Topeka permits only maximum rate Of
eight miles The cars are lighted by cleo
tricity. and make comparatively little noise

A DAKOTA ROMANCE.
The Story OF a Curious Epitaph
as Told by a Settler.
How the Wife of a Dakota Pioneer Learned
OF the Death of Former Loyer-A
Discovery That Ended in
Sad Catastrophe.

1t seems strange to see a grave on the
prairie marked by marble stone and care
July kept. Here and there one comes across
grave on the open prairie, and the marks
generally employed todesignate these iso-
lated tombs consist of pile of stones so ar
ranged that the observer knows at a glance
that the formation is not of nature, but that
the hand of man must have shaped the little
stone-covered mounds usually found near
the SUBMITS of grassy slopes. Between
this point, says dispatch from Altamont,
u. T., to the st. Louis Globe, and Big Stone
Lake, northeast of here, is carefulIy-kept
grave, marked by slab of marble. 1t is in
the vicinity Of a sheet of water which orig
inally bore an Indian name, but which is
known to the settlers as Punished Woman IS
Lake, an Interpretation of the Indian name
which it received because an INDIAN squaw,
who was looked upon by her superstitlous
race as being possessed of witchery, was
burned at the stake on the shore of the lake
some years ago.
The little marble slab strikes a stranger
as being out of place there on the prairie,
but the most striking part about it is the
inscription on its weather stained surface.
1t reads:

There need be no further excuse for al

Of your dearest friend in a rain-storm or
running amuck of the hurrying wayfarer

Clothier and Furnisher. The rainy day
collision is one of the greatest profanity
provokers of wet weather, and the English
man who invented the glass window, by
which onels course in storm may be
sighted, deserves the thanks of Christian
men throughout the world. This window
consists of a small oval piece of glass, with
brass or silver frame. which IS easily
mounted IN = rib OF the umbrella, while it is
fixed to the silk by sewing it through the
little perforated holes in the frame. These
windows can be placed in new or old um-

THE OLD MAN.

Old man, favored one thou art,
For which is due grateful heart;
Few are the strong, or oh, or sage,
That share with thee the gift OF age.
No broken shaft thy monument
How many fall their day half spenti-
Thy symbol, not OF tears and grief,
or Joy instead, a ripened sheaf.
IT'S thine high and full survey,
From first to last OF life's long way,
And thro' IL all, most clear TO see,
Gods loving hand e'er leading thee.
TITS thine to have seen each darkest cloud,
That seemed both sense and faith TO shroud
Illumed with Heavens reflected CHIT
And changed to day thy troubled night.
It's thine TO have served both God and man
Throughout LIES full allotted span,
And lay up priceless treasures here,
And store them for the upper sphere.
IT'S thine to have seen, as seen by few,
The marvels that our God can do,
The mustard-seed OF truth and right
Grow TO huge trees OF Wondrous height
IT'S thine 20 have seen, not seen by all,
Gods work go on, tho workmen fall;
Go on unhndered thro' the age
While fell the good, the strong, the sage.
IT'S thine, at length, awhile to wait
Serene beside the pearly gate
The gate, whose portals soon shall ope,
And crown with bliss thy lifelong hope.

Invention OF th. Omnibus.

The invention of omnibuses is due to the
philosopher Pascal, who, IN February, 1867,
obtained a "privilege''-what we should
call patent-for public carriages to travel
through certain streets Of Paris. 9ihey
held eight passengers, who paid six sous
each, and were very successful, although
an act of the parliament of Paris forbade
them being used by lackeys, soldiers and
other humble folks. Pascal died in 1887, and
his useful invention did not long survive
him. The omnibus reappeared in London
about the beginning Of tins century, and
was adopted in several French provincial
towns before Paris accepted it again.
