A Genuine Hermitess.

NEW YORK, July -8-New Brunswick
has a genuine sensation to talk of to-day.
A genuine hermitess, it is alleged, has been
discovered on the banks of the Raritan,
within a few miles of New Brunswick.
The hermitess woman, whose age is
placed at 80. She lives, it is alleged, with
servant in an old mansion in the woods.
She is reported to be very wealthy, and
although most of the rooms in the house are
never used, they are handsomely furnished.
The hermi.ess keeps to her room, and has not
looked on human face but that of the old
servants for thiity-six years. Years ago, it
is alleged, she was disappointed in love,
and, although a reigning belle and heiress,
she withdrew herself from all friends and
society. Her meals are served to her on
gold and silver dishes, and she still
possesses the fine dresses and jewelry of
her bygone days. She has never slept in
bed since her disappointment in love. The
old woman spends her time reading the
thousands of old, musty volumes in the
book cases in her room. She is the last
survivor of an old family, and refuses to
hold intercourse with any one. Her name
is Merritt

Ducks Killed by Lightning.

[Washburn N. d. Special to Minneapolis
Tribune
A strange sight was witnessed here yes
teIday during very severe thunder storm
When the storm was at its height an enOr-
mously large flock of ducks was seen COM
ing from the north. 1t was undoubtedly
the largest flock ever seen in this section of
North Dakota. The sky was black with
birds, and the number was variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000. They
were terror-strick en-, and flew along wildly,
making a great noise. Instead of flying
high, they scurried along close to the
ground, and the Tapping of their wiugs.
provoked tumult that could be plainly
heard above the roar of the thunder.
Suddenly there came vivid flash of
lightning, followed by terrific peal of
thunder. At the first flash hundreds of
the birds fell crying to the ground. The
storm began to grow in its frightful inten-
sity, and the ducks became more terrorized
each moment There came another flash
more vivid than its predecessor, and thou
sands of the fowls fell heavily to the earth.
Two more flashes in quick succession and
the slaughter was even greater. Swarms
Of the birds descended rapidly, and lay in
heaps on the ground. Their death was ap-
parently instantaneous. for there was not
even the Tapping of wing as they fell.
The birds that escaped flew on, still keep
ing up their hoarse cries. After the storm
was over great heaps of the ducks were
found on the ground. Probably 10000 Of
them were killed by the lightning.

The Poison of Tobacco.
Medical RecoYd.l


The great bulk of the evil physical ef-
fects due to the moderate use of tobacco are
of an intermediate nature and not directly
noticeable. The plainly marked results fol-
lowing the use of tobacco in relatively
large amounts seem to be due to quick and
extreme interference with nutrition and q
diminution of function of all kinds, which
may be represented by anything from q
slight decrease of appetite and digestive
ability to q complete loss Of function Of al
most any important organ. Alcohol, owing
to the usual method of introduction through
the stomach, produces directly noticeable
structural changes. But with tobacco the
direct evil results are mostly of func
tional character, and are more generally
diffused, owing to the usual slow manner
of introduction into the body. 1t is easy to
see the effects of large amounts of tobacco
in the stunted growth of adolescents; in
functional cardiac disorders; in intellectual
sluggishness, loss of memory, and color
blindness; in loss of appetite, and other
neuroses of motion, and marked bunting
of various functions of sensation, and in
degeneracy of descendants. The greater
evils that are the outcome of q moderate
use of tobacco are probably due to pro-
longed slight interference with nutrition
and consequent general decrease of vitality,
which renders the individual more suscep-
tible through indirect influence to invasion
of disease, and which lessons the capacity
for productive effort.

THE GRANDMOTHER DREAM.

Be quiet, love, my heart comes,
bis feet hear upon the stair,
And know the lightly springing step
That marks spirit free from care.
To meet him blushing at the door
Is well ah well, for life is sweet
Yet. who would paint the tender grace
That fills the hour when lovers meet?
We wander down the orchard lane,
Past fruitage blooms and leafy wood,
Where singing birds and blooming flowers
Bu, hymns I jog to God the good.
The psnsy spreads beside the way,
Her innocent upturning eyes,
The lowing cows, the lambs at play,
But make dream of paradise.
Be quiet, heart, my husband comes,
To he his step upon the street
Our children leave their careless play,
And hasten out their sire to greet,
But baby waits upon my lap,
And laughs and coos with baby grae,
To tell for me he silent joy
That fills my heart to see his face.
The yesrs glide on in shine and shock,
And toll is sweet for love is strong.
To soothe the trying Genes of life,
And fill our hearts with happy song,
life that though burdened yet Is love,
With rays ON heaven fltering through
The can py that half conceals
The good to be from mortal view.
He comes aR ain, my husband comes;
His head IL gray, his step is slow,
The same sweet grace his presence brings
That tilled my heart so long ago.
We sit B. gether by the hearth,
Our children tread liies busy way.
We closer clasp our trembling hands
And Journey toward life's closing day.
he comes not, comes not, now again
| sit beside the hearth and wait;
No more no more his STEP | hear,
Nor list his whistle at the gate.
A river dark between us rolls,
But God is good and love is strong;
He waits me on the other side.
Be quiet, heart he waits not long.

UNCLE ENOS CAUGHT.
A Confidence Man "WOrks" an Ohio
Farmer and is Arrested.
TChicago Mail. !

[Chioago MALL
Uncle Enos Bell, of Ohio, on his way to
Hastings, Mimi, had an interesting ex-
perience with a confidence man in this city
yesterday.
He arrived at the Unian depot early in
the morning, and having several hours to
wait for the train for the west he went up
town TO pass away the time. He had just
left the depot when the enter tanning
stranger introduced himself and entered
into conversa4son, proposing that they
should look at the sights together. The
stranger was good looking and smooth
talker and Uncle EnOs was charmed. He
said his name was May Charles May
and remarked to Uncle Enos that he was
very well acquainted with his brother,

street man ran up in great hurry and
stopped Mr.. May.
II want that SIS right off," said the man
to Mr.. May. "The furniture and stuff has
been delivered at the Union depot as or
dered. You have paid me $50, and there
is still SIS due. l want the money now"
But, my dear sir" answered Mr.. May.
very politely, 81 never carry money around
in my pocket in big city like this | am
not as foolish as that. My wife has all my
money, and she is back in the Union depot
If you Will walk back with me 1'll get the
money from her and pay this bill"
Not much will l walk back to any
depot" said the stranger grufy. II want
the money right here and now, and if l
don't get it I'll throw you in Jail inside of
five minutes"
Uncle Enos, who had been listening to
this conversation with some amazement,
here interfered in his new-found friends
behalf
"If it would be any accommodation to
you Mr. May" said Uncle Enos, "I'll lend
you SIS, and you can settle with this ras-
cal, and pay back the money when we get
back to the depot"
And the benevolent old gentleman
counted out SIS and passed it over to the
stranger.
Detective Broderick, who had been
watching the proceedings, stepped up at
this juncture and captured May, who is a
we'll Known confidence man, but his pal,
the stranger" with the bill, escaped.
Uncle Enos got his SIS back. May will be
tried for working a confidence game.

defeated. 1t was the Titanic, unresisting
energy of Richelieu, backed by reeolute
courage and an imperiOus will, that gave
him absolute sway over the court and
kingdom of France for eighteen years,
though hated and feared by the nobility
and the people, and though the queen and
the mobiles were necessarily plotting
his overthrow. He entered the royal
council as q master. and even the king
himself was overawed by the intensity of
his imperious will. By series of vigorous
measures the great minister extended and
rounded the French territory, broke the
power of the nobies and of the independent
officials and judges in the parli ment, cen
tralized the administration, strengthened
the royal authority, destroyed the inde-
pendent power of the Hugenots and re-
stored the balance of power in Europe,
which the ascendancy of the house of Aus
tria had disturbed. All this was accom-
plished amid continual plot and conspiracy
against him, which he crushed by his giant
energy, seconded by his dexterity and mas
terly policy.

Who the People of Massachusetts, Are

The people of Massachusetts were
formerly homogeneous people, and almost
purely English.
"About one in a hundred could say that
his family came from Scotland or the norl b
of Ireland; one in five hundred may have
been the grandchild of Huguenot. Ex-
treme poverty was almost unknown, and
there were few who could not read and
write. Upon religious and political ques-
tions these people thought very much
alike. Except upon the sea coast nearly
all the people lived upon farms; but all
along the coast were many who lived by
fishing and by building ships, and in the
towns dwelt many merchants grown rich
by foreign trade"
From this picture of the New England of
a century ago, look upon this of the Massa-
chusetts of the present decade. In place of
homogeneous people OF common faith
and common speech and common love for
the commonwealth and reverence for its
traditions, in the factory towns and com
mercial cities dwell great populations
diverse in creed and in tongue, unframed
to liberty and republican form of govern
ment, and with no respect for the ashes of
the dead from which has sprung our father
land. Out of population of 1912 AL, ac-
cordipg to the census of 1885, the
foreign born number 526S67, none
including such children of alien parentage
as have been born in the United States
There are 122,263 illiterate persons ten
years of age and over, of whom SO 63 per
cent. are of foreign birth, and only 6.78
per cent. were born in this State. The
foreign born represent one fifth of the peo-
pie employed in agriculture, one half of
those employed in the fisheries, o.ifths
of these employed in the manufactures
and two thirds of those employed in min
ing and as laborers.-Prof. 4. L. Bartlett in
the Au1nSt Forum

A Pig Mistake.

A merchant whose articulation had q de-
cided tendency in the direction of q lisp
had engaged clerk who was not aware Of
his vocal popularity.
"John," said the merchant, who wished
to lay in his winter stock of pork, "go out
and buy for me two or three thows and
piga."
Yes, sir" said John, much elated at the
commission.
John returned late at night, looking as
though he had performed hard days
work.
did you get them?" asked the merchant
"Only part of them" was the reply. II
bought all could find; but there were
only eight hundred to be had"
Eight hundr. d. Eight hundred what,
thir?" asked the astonished lieper.
Eight hundred pigs" was the reply.
"You told me to buy two or three thousand
pigs; but they are not to be found"
1.-TWO or three thousand pigs! / did not
tell you to do any such sihupid thing. l
thaid you thOuld buy two or thows and
pigsw exclaimed the merchant.
That's just what said," answered the
clerk. 1.-TWO or three thousand pigs;
bougt all could find"
The merchant now began to see the
origin of the mistake. 1t was apparently a
costly joke, but there was no remedy. The
pigs had been fairly bought, and there was
no way but to make the best of bad bar
gain. The grunters were duly paid for and
shut up, to be fattened for market. 1t so
happened that pork took q sudden rise at
that time, and the merchant realized a
large profit on his involuntary investment.

Our Dangers from Aliens.
bishop Coke in August Forum,


In calm review of hit tory, have we not
reason to ask ourselves, What of this
second century? Shall our children's
children see another commemoration of
Washington and the Constitution ? 1
think every thoughtful man must pro-
nounce such a consummation improbable
in the extreme. 1t seems so to me.
To make truly great nation and to give
perpetuity to its institutions we are taught
by history to demand a. a capable founda-
tion of race, (2) an hereditary system of
public morals, and (3) spirit Of fidelity
of national traditions and of adhesion to
tried and long established institutions.
The race that gave birth to American ma
tionality is the only race in human history
that has proved itself capable of self gov
ernment, or of creating and maintaining free
institutions and laws that cooperate with
freedom. But the reports from Castle Gar
den alone should be enough to arouse the
American spirit to demand radical i'm
pro7ement of our naturalization laws.
Every year thousands who can neither
write their names nor speak the language
in which our constitution and our laws are
written, become voters. We endow these
with almost immediate power to neutral
ize the votes of the native born, who
must live four times as long un-
der their own flag before they can
exercise the franchise of electors. Why an
American mother must submit to this dis
elimination against her boys, in favor of the
vomit of vessels that give birth to voters
four times as fast, if not already quite as
numerous, seems worthy of statesmanlike
inquiry. Is there national spirit left
among us to assert that the time has come
to govern America by honest American
voters, and to demand that no such prefix
as Irish or German or Mormon shall be suf-
fered to qualify the American name? If
not, free institutions and popular govern
ment must perish, even here, where they
might flourish forever under the conditions
1 have indicated and not otherwise.

He Took the One Chance in a Million.

ne OOk the One OndHCe LII d MlIllOns
As we got down in the neighborhood of
Putin Bay it came on to blow great guns
and the seas were tremendous The
steamer pitched and tossed and rolled in
way to frighten verybody, and about mid
afternoon a sleek-looking young man
pitched across the cabin to the sofa on which
1 was sitting and ask:
you think we can pull througb?"
"It's doubtful"
"Good chance for going down, eh?"
"Best in the world"
"Well, have few dollars in counter
felt money with me-some that was passed
on me-and l guess I'll throw it over
board.n
He pitched across to his state-room and
probably got rid of it. In about half an
hour he came for me again and asked:
what do you think of it now?"
'She seems to be laboIing heavily, and l
am expecting to hear that she has sprung
leak"
us that 80? / have two or three packs
of cards in my valise. That might count
against me in the other world, and l guess
I'll leave 'em out.
He was gone about a quarter of an hour
this time, and as he staggered up to the
sofa again the steamer almost stood ON end.
"It's growing worse, isn't ?" he in
quired.
Much worse"
"And we ought to prepare for death ?"
"We had"
"I-I believe have two or three bogus
bonds with me belonging to friend who
sometimes has a confidence game guess
they'll have to 20, to0."
When he was gone shifted my posi-
tion, and it was half an hour before he
found me again. The steamer was rolling
and pitching and he was very white as he
inquired:
"What are the chances nowl"
Zone in q million"
did not see him again until we were
nearing the islands. Then caught him
trying to work the three-card racket on q
Canadian farmer, and called him aside.
"You seem to have recovered all your
cheek, my frierd?"
II have-yes"
"While you thought there was danger of
our going down you was very penitent?"
"Just CO."
II thought you threw overheard every
thing belonging to your profession p
''Not quite. was going to, but when
you said we had one chance in q million

me alone I'll pull fifty dollars out of that
