A Remarkable Story.

While the 5-ycar-old son of John Y.
w. Purcell was playing boat" in n
mud pond or flag marsh on the Island"
as | called Il strip of wet, wooded land
on the Thomas II. Trcmper tract in the
town of Rochester, he was attacked by
n large number of swapping turtles
very numerous in that section, and sus-
tanned several severe bites from the
hitherto considered inoffensive reptiles.
No cause is known for the attack and
in that section it is entirely unprcce
denied.
1t seems the first warning the little
fellow had was n general gathering of
the turtles around him, each uttering
a peculiar croaking noise The little
tot, being questioned about it by the
attending physician, said: Gay all
commenced to hollar an frew tones
at EN-. Yen | yunned an failed an
zey all bite my legs Fan foots an hurt
me orful bad" His mother hearing his
screams rushed to his assistance only
to find him completely surrounded by
the ugly things, which were literrlly
chewing him to pieces and sucking his
blood, and it was with some difficulty
that she beat them off with clothes
stick which she happened to be hold
ing in her hand. --POughkcepSie Ne,vS-

luently repeated almost every month
in order to determine with exactness
the development of the child The lit
tie one is subjected to an especially
nutritious diet of the most tonic kind,
if it had been previously fed from re-
fractory goat liable to convey contagious
germs, it having been found by expert
mont that the milk of this animal,
although possessing nutritive princi-
pies of the most salutary kind, pre-
scnts the inconvenience of commune
eating by absorption the effects of those
nervous accidents to which the goat is
subject.
The public charities of Paris, advised
by the wise doctors of medicine, have
substituted for the milk of goats that Of
the ass, and have installed an ample
yard near the pavilion of the rickcty
and sc1ofulOus children, which is only
separated by short covered passage
way. Nothing is more picturesque than
the spectacle of the lactation of the
babes in this inclosure every morning
as graphically represented in our en-
craving, from drawing by NJ. de Haze
men.
The nurses, dressed in dark gowns
with white caps and aprons, each car
rying child on the right arm and
little seat in the left hand, present
themselves in exact turn to the women
who have charge of the animals, and
they hold the child, applying
its lips to the teats of the docile animal
The children suck with avidity the
liquid nutriment, which is fresh and of
agreeable taste. The Administration
of Public Assistance of Paris has calcu-
lated that one young ass is able to lac
tate abundantly for space of nine or
ten months, and when this period has
passed they are sold and replaced by
others. 1t is we'll known that the milk
of asses, by its vivifying qualities and
its nutritious principles, assimilatcs in
a great degree the milk of the nurse,
and these disinhcritCd and sick chill
dren, enjoying its beneficial effects by
it's permanent and methodical use, are
restored little by little to health and
vigor.

THE CHARITY INSTITUTIONS OF
PARIS.

In recent years, in France, conscien-
tons efforts have been made to ascer-
tain the principal causes of the loss of
population, and it has been demon
strated by numerous facts that one of
these causes consists in the physical
degeneration induced by deficiency of
alimentation in infancy; and the most
eminent physicians of Paris, and the
Director of Public Assistance, have
endeavored to modify and improve the
system of nutrition in the public char
table institutions, providing for re-
Gently born children lactation adequate
to the necessities of the temperament
and constitution.
In the Hospital for Infants Diseases,
situated in Sabres street, there exists
section for rickety boys and girls,
whose miserable aspect produces an
impression of pain upon the mind

the organic vices of their parents, and
who suffer from anHmia's cruel tor

The administration of the hospital is

James Mcmillan, the Junior Senator
from Michigan.

Hon. James Mcmillan, the newly
elected Senator from Michigan, was
born ut Hamilton, Ont, May II, 1898.
He comes of good pure Scotch stock,
his father being an immigrant who won
a superior position on the Great West
ern Railway, now the Wabash. Sena-
tor Mcmillan became resident of
Detroit when sixteen years old; he re-
ceived an ordinary education, and after
sewing a six-years apprenticeship in
the hardware business, he obtained
the position of purchasing agent of tho
Detroit and Milwaukee Railway. From
that time he has been identified with
the railroad interests. He organized
the Michigan Car Company for the
manufacture of freight cars. This led
the way to the formation of other COM
panies, and he is now at the head of
corporations in Detroit employing
more than three thousand men, and
doing a business of over $4,000, 900 an
nually.
Senator Mcmillan was one of the or
ganizers of the important Duluth,

CORPORAL Tanners Old Commander.

Here in Washington is the place to
see the ups and downs of political life.
Old commanders during the war times
become askers of their former subor
dinates for Offices iii their gift after the
shuttle of q quarter of century of
politics. The file in great many in
stances has become the rank and the
rank the file. Corporal Tanner, for
instance, became Commissioner Tan
ner, and Gen. Sigel, his old comman-
der, became Pension Agent Sigel and
one of his underlings. Il tell you"
said Commissioner Tanner, the other
night, 1T was pathetic. [ could re-
member how Gen. Sigel's horse had

line with his splendid staff, and here he
was, broken old man, offering me his

"Not far from Charlie Nivian's grave
in Leadyille's cemetery" began the
old actor, "is the earthly tenement of
another man whose reputation was
worldwide. A rough pine slab, upon
which are inscribed the simple words,
John Omahundra,' marks the spot
where the once famous Texas Jack is
inferred. When the pneumonia scourge
carried him away he was the dime
novel ideal of frontiersman. Tall
and muscular, with long raven hair
and mustache and features of Grccian
beauty, twas no wonder that the first
time Morlacchi met him she loved him.
Morlacchi was Partisan danseuse who
came to thi, country with one of the
French opera companies. She saw
Omahundra one night in New Orleans
cafe, and week later she married him.
She was blase woman of the world
his life had been spent on the plains.
She was gifted with all the graces
refinement could bestow-he was
a.beautiful brute.

into Leadville with the rush Nor
lacchi's talent was in demand. She
danced divinely, and the princely sal
airy she received from the management
of the Grand Central Theatcr was only
an insignificant portion of the emolu-
mcnts shOwercd upon her. Golden
coins were flung upon the stage every
time she graced it. Meantime her be-
loved husband drank and gambled with
the many kindred spirits he found in
the new camp. The woman danced
and made money, and the man spent
her earnings in the widest sort of
dissipation. She never complained of
his conduct. Stories of his marital
infdelity reached her ears, but she
dismissed the gossips with shrug of
her shapely shoulders and snap of
her fiji gers. 'Pouf, she would say, re
enfant enjoy heemself-why not?' Yet
to him she was true as steel. Perhaps
her love was mingled with fear, for
her spouse had playful habit of pub
icly proclaiming his intention to COM
NIT double crime if his wife should
ever forget her vows. And so he drank
and gambled and clustered until King
Pneumonia cut him down and hurried
him away from the world in which he
was less useful than ornamental. Nor

remained with the corpse until it was

professional associates could bestow.

LESS than ten years ago a young
man named Cecil Rhodes went to
South Africa TO seek his fortune. He
had speculative talent and few hun
drcd dollars iu his pocket, and after
studying the Cape railroads and the
Kimberley diamond mines he began to
buy and sell railroad stocks, mining
shares, and anything else in which he
thought there was money to be made.
His enterprises grew with the growth
of his capital and three or four years
ago ne began to be known as a very
rising man of affairs. He is now called
the Diamond King, is millionaire,
and almost every week his name is seen
in the English newspapers as that of a
prominent factor in South Africa mat
ters. One of his latest specialties is
to secure gold mining concessions on
very cheap terms from independent
native chiefs, and as everything he has
touched has turned to money he is
likely to make few thousand per cent.

man is only about 90 years old, and his

And her beautiful eyes filled with
tears
Madge then told him some of the
trials she had been forced to bear, and
how that evening was the turning
point in her life.
He longcd to tell her then and there
how he loved her, but dared not. She
had known him only few hours,
while he felt he had known her for
years. When they separated he had
received permission to call the next
day.
Madge now occupied handsome
suite of rooms in the best quarter of
the city, and also had engaged chap
erone who w1S her constant attend
ant. The little sister was at boarding
school.
The next day found George at her
rooms. She received him graciously,
and with decided pleasure-a straw
which he grasped at very eagerly. 1t
was SO hard to wait to tell her of his
love; but wait he must, as he might
ruin his hopes if he spoke too soon. So
Madgc sang on. Hearts were shower
cd upon her; wealth was laid at her
feet; but all to no avail. Among the
hundreds of people, she sang to but
one. If he applauded her she was
pleased. That was all she cared for;
no matter what any one else thought.
One evening she had gone to the
thcater with a rather depressed feeling
which she could not explain. There
was almost sob in her voice as she
sang. After the song was finished and
she had retired to the dressing room,
she found awaiting her beautiful
bunch of roses with slip of paper at
tachcd. She took them up and read in
Georges handwriting:
He whispered word to the flowers,
And softly their leaves cnressed
And sent them TO carry the message
For the one he loved the best!
She sank into chair, her heart al
most bursting with Joy. He loved her /!
now she knew it, and the world held
nothing more for her to desire. With
out the people were calling her back.
She ran upon the stage, and sang as
she never sang before. Her hearers
were fairly wild. She saw only
George, and he saw only her, and
there, in that crowded assemblage, they
told each other their love.
When she reached her rooms that
night, much to her surprise, she found
George there before her.
"Darling," said he, Il could not wait
till tomorrow to know my fate. l
wanted to learn it tonight. Tell me,
can you love me? Will you be my
wife,"
He read his answer in her face, and,
clasping her in his arms, fairly smoth
cred her with kisses.
George" she said, "who would have
thought when | started out that even
ing to take home Miss Marlboro's dress
of the great results that would follow
the circumstance? True it is that
THE ma ssivc gates Of circumstance
Are turned upon the smallest hinge;
And thus some seeming pctticst chance
May give our life its after tingc."
"Yes," said George, that night gave
the world a singer, and me wife,"
