Broken Up by Death.

Rockville Comm Special.
That misfortunes never come singly
is proved by the sore affection that has
befallen the family of James Curran, of
Brooklyn street, in this city. A little
while ago Katie Curran. twenty years
old, was attacked by galloping consump-
ton, and her mother labored hard in
untlring attentions to the invalid. Worn
out at last, the mother fell on the kitch-
en- floor in swoon a few days ago,
and died about two hours later.
The sick girl cried continually for
her mother, but no one had the
heart to tell her the truth. After
the funeral, however, she guessed that
her mother was dead, and died herself
within few hours. Then another sis
ter-Lizzie-who lived at home, fell
sick with commissions and was at the
point of death at the time of her sisters
funeral. She cannot recover. There
were two other sisters, one seventeen
years old; another-Neilie-wh was
married and living in Providence.
Nellie was asked to come here, but a
reply came back that she was dying of
typhoid pneumonia. In the past two
weeks the whole family has been
broken up. Charitable Rockville peo-
pie have raised $50 with which to aid
the girl seventeen years old, who is
likely to be the only survivor.

that as 1t was for the benefit of the
little scholars. it had a double claim
upon them. The members of the two

then introduced Prof. McGehay.
Then Prof. McGehay announced with
much impressiYeness that he had a sur
prise for them. and everybody smiled in
anticipation, while the professor sat
down to the piano and struck two pre-
liminary cords, and then came two beau
tiful young persons with absolutely bare
arms and neck, and in dresses which
were actually cut off just above the
knee. The audience was too much sur
prlsed to do anything but laugh at first,
while the mothers OF the little pupil
felt warm waves of Indignation swelling
up under their bonnet strings and
snffusing their faces.
Supt. McNabb did not know which
way to look or what to do. So he sat
still and boiled within, while the atrnos-

1t Is well known that Charles XII. of
Sweden was a man who united to an in
vincible obstinacy a restless energy and
indomitable valor. 1t is not so we'll
known, however, that he was equally
distinguished for his love of truth.
His biographer, Lundblad. tells the fol-
lowing anecdote Of this last character
iStic of his royal hero:
The king had issued most stringent
orders against dueling, and a major,
who had disobeyed, and had killed his
adversary in a so-called ''affair of
HONOR" fled the country.
During the absence of the monarch
IN Turkey. however, he returned to his
native land, and again received an ap-
pOintment in the Swedish army.
When Charles escaped from captivity
and resumed command of his troops, he
met the major by chance, and recog-
niZed him at once. He said nothing,
however, for he had need of efficient of.
fcers, A short time afterWard the
major distinguished himself in battle,
and Charles desired to promote him,
but was unwilling to let the officer sup
pose that he had not been recognized.
Que day, when reviewing his troops,
he suddenly approached the major, and
put the question to him if he were not
the man who killed a cOmrade in duel.
The poor fellow, thrown into con-
fusion by the sudden accusation, denied
his guilt. WhereupOn the king turned to
his general and said: 1T is too bad
The man lies. and can't reward him"

of THE Curious" we have prepared
the following list of scarce and expen-
sive drugs:
Three-pound bottle of alkaloid of
aconitine. S4S5.50; quarter-ounce phial
of chelidonine alkalOid, a new drug
used in skin diseases. scrofula and drop

A five-ounce bottle of true cotoin"
will cost about $3.50, or about $40 per
ounce. Crystals of elaterin, poison
used in cases of hydrophobia and lock-
jaw, prepared from plant called South
American Indian arrow, is worth about
Sl45 per ounce.
Among other costly drugs we might
mention the following and the different

are sold: Agaricin, AZ ounces. SIS;
