By a most singular accident a baby
lost its life In Kentucky. John Howard
a farmer, lives about two miles below
Ludlow, opposite Riverside. His wife,
while engaged in her household duties,
set her 13-month-old child on the
floor. The little one began playing
with n puppy that happened to be
in he room at the time. Fastened
around the puppy's neck was a long,
light chain that dragged on the floor.
The baby and puppy were having a
lively time when Mrs. Howard heard u
bump. She looked around and saw
the little playmates tangled up in a
heap, the puppy having pulled the baby
over The mother started to pick the
child up, when she was Mortified to find
that its face vas distorted and its body
limp. She also found that during the
play the loose end of the chain had in
some way become wrapped around the
baby's neck, choking it to death in the
presence of its mother. Every effort
was made TO restore respiration, but il
was too late .-Cincinnati Enquirer.

1t is now pretty certain that consump-
ton is in n degree n contagious disease,
and not inherited, though we may in
herit feeble constitutions and render its
attacks more certain. DIR. Chapen says
1.-THE c~ontagion must be destroyed. For
tunately, in this disease there is no need
of isolation; disinfection is enough. The
consumptive patient gives off the poison
only in the sputum, or perchance the
other excretia, if the disease extends be-
yoId the lungs. The virus is not given
off from these while moist. We must
therefore disinfect all sputum at once
with mercuric bichloride.
Cloths must be used instead of hand
kerchiefs, and hen burnedi or If the lat
ter are used they should be often
changed, and Immediately put into a BIZ
chloride solution and boiled. Bed linen
should be treated in the same way. Ere
quently disinfection of the entire person
and fumigation of the apartment would
be safe additions to the preventive meas
ures." OF course, in addition to all this,
q wise physical culture must be given tc
u boys and girls. Corsets must be
abandoned and a love for put door life
encouraged.-Herald of Health.

Lord LensdaIe,s nIunder.

All the way around from England
we get the information that Lord
Lonsdale, in his journey toward the
north pole, came upon a nation of Es-
quimaux, the Caribou and Moon River
tribe; and that they are all over six
feet tall, and have a way of decorating
themselves with a cash in the cheek
for every enemy killed. This is pure
nonsense; for no Esquimaux tribe av-
erages 8 feet s inches, and none Of
them are given to killing or to tattoo
ing. The Esquimaux do not go to
war, rarely kill a person, and are
harmless except in the way of theft.
They are relics of the old cave dwell
ers of ante-historic periods, and never
are known as warriors. War is a de-
velopment of later races. Lord Ions
dale made a mistake in not going on
to the pole-in imagination. He could
easily have reached it.-St. Louis

jump to my conclusion hat Private Gay
wac the assassin. Possibly 1 would nave
some doubt about it myself if / had not
seen that deadly look when Gray passed
by the captain just after he had been re-
leased from his ~disgraceful punishment,
The newspaper statement concerning
the short, squarely built stranger who
was seen in the town where Ross lived
just before the tragedy is enough for me.
l know that the stranger was Gray, and
l know that he killed the captain.
And yet all of this is too light and airy
to rise to the dignity of even circumstan-
tial evidence. 1t would not justify an
arrest, to say nothing of an indictment.
But never mind about the evidence

Speaking of war horses" said Joe
Dickinson, late adjutant general on Gen.
Joe Hooker's staff, do any of you re-
member the magnificent white charger
that Hooker rode Mt Charlottesville
Well, that horse had a history. He was
discovered by one of Sicklos' men in q
patch of pines not far from Good Hope
Hill, Md, where his master had hidden
him. And he was presented to Dan
Sickles. He was a pure bred Arabian
and the handsomest parade horse in the
army. A negro led the soldier to the
spot where the horse was concealed, and
the master of the horse also owned the
negro. The owner of the horse soon dis
covered his whereabouts, and, armed
with proof Of loyalty, went to Secretary
Stanton. who ordered the horse returned
But the latter by this time had disap-
peared As n matter of fact. he passed
into lockers hands. and although con-
siderable trouble n 5 made for Sickles
and Hooker the - lian remained in the

In the Parnell commission court a
youth was engaged in making some
sketches for an illustrated paper, and
behind stood a burly gentleman, who
might have been taken for a country
magistrate. The latter watched the
young artist for a while, and then,
touching him on the shoulder, ven
tured to observe that this and that and
the other points of the sketch were not
exactly what they should be. The ar
fist simply replied by inquiring
what do you know about it7" The
gentleman persistedi in kindly and per-
suasive criticism. AT length the youth,
convinced that, after all, the criticism
vas just-indeed, the gentleman had
himself taken the drawing block and
made the necessary alterations with
his own hand-remarked: "Well you
do seem to know something about it,
certainly" adding, are you on any
paper2" NO" answered the gentle
man, Il am not on any paper, but /
do a bit of painting now and then. My
name is John Millais. Chicago Inter

as they held up the postoffice and
watched a woman drive a buggy
around the corner on one wheel.
Because there never was a woman
yet who would acknowledge that she
couldn't drive. It's a wonder to me
they ever get anywhere, or ever get
back again. They will take hair
breadth chances that would brighten
a man, and think nothing of them"

asked one of the solons. when a
woman drives she will always let the
lap robe hang over the wheel. Now

The woman who had driven around
the corner was coming back. Only
her hands We're visible at the side Of
the buggy, but they reached to the
dash board, and sawed the reins in a
manner that made the horse take both
sides of the road at once. She drew
up to the curbstone with a flourish.
Guess she knows you," said the
man who had last spoken.
Yes. It's my wife" said the
other sheepishly as he stepped into
the buggy and let his wife drive him

effects when taken internally being less

held to be harmless, It is often taken in
large doses, and rarely indeed are very
unpleasant consequences recorded. But
that it is capable of doing harm is shown
by the following case, recently reported:
A man took internally one ounce of sub
limated sulphur, and the following day
repeated abe dose. Some twenty-four
hours after he became utterly PROSTATE
and partially insensible. At lucid inter
walls he complained of intense headache,
with aching, gripping pains in his bowels.
There was a very high fever and rapid

tracted and insensible to light, skin
bathed in a profuse clammy perspiration,

retched and vomited almost continu-
ously, and had severe diarrhea; the in.
testinal discharges mainly consisted OF
bloody mucus, mixed with fine particles
of sulphur. Blood also appeared in the
discharges from the kidneys. This pa
tient recovered after a short but painful
illness. His case illustrates, what ply

upon people, hat there is no kind OF

Genius Suffers Another Injustice.

1t is learned that the SO called Pigs
in Clover scheme was patented ten or
years ago, and that when the
latest inventor" applied for a patent
he discovered that it was not obtain
able for this reason. He is said to have
realized more than 800, 600 of profit
before the game played out, and he
was only brought up with . round
turn a short time ago, when the orig
inal patentee secured an injunction re
straining him from conducting his
business any longer. But by that time
the craze had died out, and the orig

would have been if he had not discov-
cred that his patent had been infringed.

Homeward are flying
Birds to the soft downy nest;
The sun hides his head
In the lark oceans ed,
And thou on the heart thatsoyes best.
The lambs on the void
Are seeking the fold
As shadows grow somber and gray;
While the 1refiy's spark
Cleans In the dark
To show thee TO dreamland the way.
Sweet flowers are sleeping.
Pale mists are creeping
Over the mead, up the hill.
In shadowy hooks,
By the ripping brooks,
Whose waters lie quiet and still.
Through the clouds silv'ry lace
The moons gentle face
Bend with n tender good night;
Then whisper thy prayer
On the calm, solemn air,
And slumber till morning is bright.
May tho stars as they shine
On this jewel of mine
Not find thee, my darling, awake,
But smile DER thy sleeping.
With fond angels keeping
Watch for the Holy Ones sake.

Table Talk.

Several gentlemen who had visited New
York told us some time ago that in polite
society in that city there obtains a pretty
fashion in serving coffee in miniature
cups-after-dinner coffee, it is called, as
we recollect. 1t is deemed vulgar to serve
coffee in large cups, because when gentle
man feeds he should prefer to feed deli
cately and not out of a trough. We once
asked Professor Fishbladder how it was
that small cofees hadn't been introduced
into Chicago society, and he said that it
was because they were regarded as danger
Gus. 1t seems that the Calumet Club years
ago did import a lot of these miniature
cups with view to utilizing them for
after-dinner coffee But at the very start
there befell an accident that drove the
innovation out of favor. One of the
wealthiest and most influential members
of the club, while endeavoring to make
away with his usual after-dinner coffee,
swallowed the cup, and for weeks his life
was despaired Of Ever since then in the
best Chicago society the regulation coffee
cup has been the size of a sitz-bath.-

the roof becomes higher and one can walk

never been entered. A young son Of Mr..
