Dangers of Close Reports.

The initiative faculty in young persons laads often to tragic happenings, as well es to the query: Are there not vast dan- gers in the minute details, made public in the newspapers, as to crimes and their perpetration? A lad in London has suc- ceeded In closely initiating the atrocities of the Whitechapel fend, dissecting his victim-another lad-in just the manner described in the papers relating the mur- ders. Another case in point comes from Iowa, where boy killed his small brother after witnessing the operation of butchering hogs. The youthful murderer became absorbed in the gory operation, and next day invited his victim to play butchering and to assume the role of the hog. This he did with such zeal that his innocent young life was the for felt. To give to the world the minutest details of a brutal murder is to increase the chances that, among some of the youngest readers of these samples of unnecessary realism, there will be let loose an evil spirit of imitation, whose mission will be accomplished only when another horror Is performed. The illus trated police papers and the sensational journals that revel in details of hideous crimes have much to answer for, and too often serve as accessories ill rob- berries and murders.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

The Traffic in Indian Girls.

When questioned about the allegations of Mrs. E. B. Voorhees, concerning the outrageous traffic in Indian women in Alaska, Bishop Vladimir, of the Russian Orthodox church, just returned from Sitka. said: Though went on another mission 1, of course, heard of the system of office contract, as it is there termed. There are large number of miners, shop keepers. factory hands and persons in similar pursuits in different parts of the Alaskan territory, and 1 was told that they were most immoral. They usually have no wives of their own. SC they go to depraved Indians, buy their young daughters for money or liquor, and after living with the poor girls a while cast them adrift.

No Round Dances.

Since the marriage-a-failure topic has been worn out and reduced to apulp. the country is now to be deluged with this question of dancing. Whether dancing is proper or not; if so, when, where, of what character, for how many hours, and what style of dress? The Rev. c. S. Nickerson opens the ball, as is most proper, with an indorsement of danc- ing. He says it is natural. innocent, beautiful. That is, square dances, where ReonSo ne move graoefqHy Hs and merely should be done at home; therefore the waltz is banished from MT. Nickerson's congregation. But high necked, eleven o'clock, square cornered, long meter dancing he thoroughly approves.-Min- neapolis Tribune.

No Respect for Roccys,

The bogey and the bad man have passed finally out of the lives of children. You cannot scare the small boy any more with any such imaginative terrors. An anxious mother has just lost her last bit of control over her child by q bluff which did not work. She did not know her boy. She quite undervalued his ex- perience in human nature. Tho boy was naughty.
 She had exhausted all appeals to his imagination, and finally she had recourse cali the policeman, and she painted the prison cell and the dock, and all sorts of things.
 "Yahw said the boy. Mamma, you can't play the policeman on me. Hegaye me lot of candy yesterday. He wouldn't run ne in for anything. San Francisco Chronicle.

Wonders of tho Dead Sea.

One of the most interesting lakes or inland seas in the world is the Dead sea, which has no visible outlet. It IS not mere fancy that has clothed the dead sea in gloom. The desolate shores, with scarcely green thing in sight, and scat tered over with black stones and ragged driftwood, form a fitting frame for the dark, sluggish waters, covered with a perpetual mist, and breaking in slow, heavy, sepulchral toned waves upon the beach. It seems as if the smoke of the wicked cities was yet ascending up to heaven, and as if the moan of their fear full sorrow would never leave that God smitten valley.
 It is a strange thing to sec those waves, not dancing along and sparkling ill the sun as other waves do, but moving with measured melancholy, and sending to the ear, as they break languidly upon the rock, only doleful sounds. This is, no doubt, owing to the great heaviness of the water, a fact well known, and which we amply verified in the usual way, for, on attempting to swim, we went floating about like empty casks. This experiment was more satisfactory in it's progress than in its results, which
 were very unctuous skin and Q most
 pestiferous stinging of every nerve, as if we had been beaten with nettles. Nor
 was the water we took into our mouth a whit less vile than the most nauseous l drugs of the apothecary.
 That fish cannot live in this strong
 solution of bitumen and salt is too obyi-
 ous to need proof; but to say that birds cannot fly over it and live is one of the l congregations of travellers, who perhaps | were not, like ourselves, so fortunate as
 to see flock of ducks reposing on the
 water in apparently good health. And 1 yet this was all the life we did sec. The whole valley was one seething caldron, I under a more than tropical sun. God 1 forsaken and man forsaken, no green thing grows within it, and it remains to l this day as striking q monument of Gods ] fearful judgments as when the fire from
 heaven devoured the once mighty cities
 of the plain.-Missionary Herald.

A Novel Hotel SWinGle.

"A fellow with an English accent worked a new racket on me the other day." said New York hotel man. He registered, got a good room and threw down two railroad checks for his lug gage,' which he ordered sent upstairs to him. After some hours spent in looking for the trunks, the clerk reported that they could not be found. This threw the Englishman into a towering rage, and he was with difficulty persuaded that no doubt they could be found by next morn ing. Next morning he went himself to complain at the station about the trunks, and never came back The checks were bogus and had secured for the scamp two meals and bed."

Magnetic Oxide.

It has long been known that rails of tracks in actual use oxidate much slower than those of dead tracks, but so far no satisfactory explanation has been found. w. Spring, in The Bulletin of the Royal Belgian academy, shows that this is due to tho formation of q coating of mag netic oxide of iron under the influence of humidity and pressure. In order to prove the correctness of this view, Mir. Spring has brought moistened rust and a clean plate of iron under a pressure of from a thousand to twelve hundred at mospheres, which corresponds to that of the wheels of a locomotive of thousand hundredweights. He found that the rust powder had penetrated the iron, and formed coating of magnetic oxide.- Gctopco

Governesses in New South South Wales.
 New South Wales does not seem an ideal place for 'gentlewomen' to cmi- grate to. An advertisement recently ap- peared in a Sydney paper to the follow ing purport: "Governess required, coun- try, eldest pupil eleven; must be good teacher" Attracted by the last words a lady who has ably filled some of the best appointments in England and in the colony, but who was for the moment dis engaged, answered tho advertisement letter, verbatim ct literatim, including the punctuation: "In. reply to yours re- quire governess to teach English music drawing French (beginners), calisthenics there are four pupils eldest eleven young est four and half and two younger children with whom you would have little to do as there is nurse. Your two younger pupils would require to be washed and dressed and the eldest to have her hair done. There would be a few light household duties of which I could tell you should you consider the position likely to suit you. The salary is ESQ per annum!"
 Surely. this is enough; but there fol lows a gracious promise that the salary shall be raised by a pound or two, If you suit your employers" and "are agreeable in the house." It is fortunate for the successful applicant for this lu- crative appointment that she will have but little to do with children under the age of 4a; for, with four to teach all the subjects required, two to dress entirely, and two to have their hair done, what time Is the unfortunate governess to have for herself? But, then, she is to receive ESQ year, with promise of a ''rise," if she is agreeable" in the house. Albany Argus.

She crouched close to tbe bed


 All at once there was sound of voices and trampling feet outside-the noise of an opening door--a hurried exclamation and the next moment Carruthers was in the room, followed by dark, keen Darrelrs bedside.
 ''Ts he alive?" exclaimed Gilbert, hoarsely, 'or arc we too late?'
 Leslie, who had risen slowly to her feet, looked at him with stony, fearless eyes.
 "You are too late!' she moaned dreari- ly. ''Too late-too late!'
 "Nothing of tho kind," broke in the doctors kindly voice. Hell do yet. Give mo the brandy, MT. Carruthers, and tell your man to heat some water. We'll bring him round, please God"
 And they did bring him round. He had splendid constitution, and he ral- lied wonderfully.
 But Carruthers, who had shown pow CTS of endurance almost superhuman in tho face of the pain and weakness he had sternly combated for so many hours, now gave in suddenly and utterly; for the fell disease which already had him so firmly in its grasp would be held at bay no longer. By the next morning he was unable to speak; and almost before they realized that he was in danger, he was beyond all hu= man help. He bade no farewell to the girl he loved, or the man whose life he had saved, but passed almost imper- ceptibly from heavy dream like stupor into death itself.
 As for Leslie, she did not even know the poor fellow was ill until he had been dead some hours; for when she heard that Darrell still lived and that he was out of immediate danger, she crept away to her own room and lay down on her bed, utterly worn out and exhausted. And as the doctor forbade her enter ing the sick room again, she consented to take the sleeping draught he prepared for her, and slept soundly and dream lessly for many hours. And for that sleep she never quite forgave herself. She felt certain she could have saved the one life as she had saved the other. She went home that same afternoon the afternoon of Carruthers' death, I mean-escorted by Wellings; and Aunt Priscilla, who had been mourning her as dead, received her with tears of joy. When Miss Carlyon heard her niece's story she insisted that Capt. Darrell should be removed to The Grange with as little delay as possible, where she nursed him into convalescence herself, assisted, after a time by Leslie. Carruthers' death was a terrible blow to Darrell, He went abroad as soon as he was strong enough, and remained away for year. But he carried with him Leslie Heath's promise that at the end of that year she would become Les lie Darrell.
 And she kept her word. They are exceptionally happy, both in themselves and ill their children, the eldest of whom bears the name of the | brave fellow whose memory will always live, undimmed and unforgotten, in l both their hearts.
 And the memory is a very sad one. | THE END.

Fox and Hound.

A fox hound belonging to Capt. Mark Percy, of Coxs Head, near Fort Popham, chased fox for two days. The dog was seen i'll pursuit of the fox several times during the two days, and his deep baying was frequently heard. Finally the fox tired out, and fell to the ground exhausted. The dog, knowing that he had not sufficient strength left to fight the fox, sat down near him and watched hound were found by man who lived near, and the fox was SO exhausted that the man easily killed him with club Lewiston (Me.)

been much easier, and hc could swallow liquids with less difficulty. But the girl knew that now, more than ever, it was of tho last importance that he should have constant nourishment And, alas! she had given him the last of the brandy an hour ago. She had no more soup for him either, the little jar of Liebig was empty. As the hours went on kind of sick despair came over her--a terrible sense of her own impotence.
 About midnight shc opened the front door and looked out. It was dark, starlcss night, and raining heavily. But no sound of footsteps or voices came through the darkness. She closed the door with a sinking heart and went back to Darrelrs room again, her childish face white and set, and hopeless. For ahe had lost all hope now. He was lying quite sti1l-so still that Leslie felt her heart almost stop beating. Had the end come so soon? She knelt beside the bed in an abandonment of grief and terror, and gazed wildly into tho sick mans changed, haggard face-the face that in those few short days had become so mex pressibly dear to her.
 He did not breathe.
 "Oh, my dear, my dear," shc cried, "have you left me then-and love you sol love you sol" And she hid her face in her hands in a fearless agony of sobs.
 Darrells voice made her start vio- lently. His eyes were open and shone with an infinite love and tenderness.
 "Leslie." he murmured indistinctly, as she seized his hand and (hardly knowing what she did, poor child, in her passion ate relief held it to her lips. Leslie my dear little onc-it is-too-late"- His voice died away; his eyes closed.
 "Lancelot!" she shrieked, in a par oxysm of mingled grief and uncontrolla- ble physical fear, Speak to mc-just one wordr'
 He did not answer. She laid her little hand on his heart. It was still.
 Then she knew that he would never speak to her again.
 She could not cry, and was conscious of a vague wonder that she could not. Trembling in every limb, she crouched close to the bed, her eyes fastened on the worn, still face of which she already felt a nameless fear. And yet she dared not go out of the room. A nervous horror of she knew not what possessed her, and froze her blood. Darrell's watch lay on the dressing table; it's loud ticking was distinctly audible through the stiffness. The rain swept at intervals against the windows. The candle burnt down in its socket. The kitchen clock struck 1, and the sound seemed to echo eerily through tho silent house.

She who sleeps upon this heart

She wto sleeps upon this heart
 Was the first to win 1t. She who dreams upon this breast Ever reigns within It. She who kisses oft these lips
 Wakes their fondest blessings She who rests within these arms
 Feels their closest pressings Other hours than these may come, Hours that may be weary; Other days shall greet us yet,
 Days that may be dreary. Still this heart shall be thy homo. Still this breast thy pillow, Still these lips meet thine as oft
 Biliow meeteth pillow. Sleep then on this happy heart,
 Since thy love hath won it; Dream then on this loyal.breast
 None but thou hath done it. And when age our bloom shall change, With its wintry weather. May we in the self same grave
 Sleep and dream together.

Not So End AS We Seem.

It is true that in those earlier ages men died for faith, principle, ideas; but so do they die for them in this age. Every day throughout the world men are talk ing flying leaps to death because of their fidelity to ideas. The poor switchman that last week leaped on the railroad track in front of the rapidly moving 1t, but met his own death under the mur- derous wheels of the ponderous machine, died because of his idea of duty. It was not his duty to fling away his own life for that of others, but he thought it was, and he did it. Self sacrifice, unselfish- ness of the highest and noblest sort, is not of any particular age, but of all ages. The spirit of compromise Is tho spirit of selfishness, and it is not an exclusive growth of the present time.
 Indeed, it would be difficult, if not inn worlds history in which the spirit of charity, of good will toward men, was more sentient or active than it is today. It Is not only in this country, but in all countries, that benevolence flows in a steady stream from the rich to the poor. The land is thick with great charities. We need but look about any great city like this to recognize how strong and broad and deep the stream of charity flows. It is epitomized in scores of in stitutions kept alive at a most enormous cost for tho helping of those who need help; there are hospitals, homes, asy- lums, refuges, schools numberless, which all represent the worlds unselfshness,
 its iberality and charity. This ago is not worse but better, than those which
 went before it, because there is ever a
 potent spirit abroad in it helping and improving it. Religion, education, social
 world to better ends, and they are doing
 it teffectually.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

WILL START A SCHOOL.
Manufacturers OF Textile Fabrics
Trying to Beat the Unions.

PATERSON, n. j., March 25.-One of
the most important movements bearing
on the future of the textile industries is
now under way here. The object is
three-fold-to elevate the character and
improve the style of American fabrics,
to render the domestic manufacturers
independent of European art and skill
in the production of high grade goods,
and then emancipate American indus
tries in this department from the
alleged deSpotism of trade unions,
which it is claimed so handicap en-
plOyers that it is practically impossible
for them to successfully compete with
foreign establishments in the worlds
market, and it is extremely difficult, not
withStanding the large amount of tariff
protection afforded, to maintain their
ascendency at home. There are no
technical schools in America such as are
found abroad, there is little or nothing
distinctively American in rich and ele-
CANT patterns, and we are to marvel
Gus extent mere copyists of European
designs. Americans are rarely ever ad-
mitted into the foreign schools where
designing, weaving, dyeing and furnish
ing are taught, and it is for tire purpose
of endOwing such school at home that
movement has been set on foot,
backed by the signatures of the prin-
cipal manufacturers in America and
representing millions of dollars, includ-
idg such names as William Strange.

Association of America on April 6. for
the purpose of taking the necessary
steps to complete the organization. Ne
gotiationS have already been made with
the best qualified teachers from abroad
to assume charge over the various de-
partments. The possessor of the secret
of the celebrated Francilton dyes. Jules

The movement is direct strike at
