Child life on Canal-BOats,

One of the curiositics Of life displayed
along the Waterfront of this city, saws
the \. Y. Times. is the way children
are reared in absolute safety aboard
canai-boatS. Any person who takes
tho trouble TO visit Cocntics Slip or tho
ncighboring docks where canal-boats
lay up can sec every day the common
sight Of group Of toddling children
playing on the open decks Of the low
bulwarkcd boats, but he never hears of
one falling overheard.
On one clnal-bOat, the Bctsey Ann
of Whitehall, that lay In Cocntics slip
the other day, was noticed a novel ar
ran@cm"nt for Keeping the little ones
within the bounds OF safety. On the
aftcr-drck a regular playground had
'"cn fenced of for the YOUNGSTERS by
.ilding high pickrt-rcncc. oycr
which they could not climb. This had
swinging gate secured by hasp, sta
pie, and paddock. Inside Of this i'll
closure were four children, who made
the air ring with their shouts. telling Of
their unalloycd happiness and content
mcnt with the arrangement. On an
other boat, II little way distant in tho
same slip was another queer arrange
mont to keep the little tots from fall
ing overheard. In the center of the
deck was fastened stout ring-bolt to
which were fastened three stout but
small ropes. At the end of each ropc
was stout leather belt bucklcd about
the waist OF a rugged, sun-burncd
youngStcr The ror,, were just long
enough to prevent the childrcm
reaching the edge of the deck, but
were not too short TO allow them am
pie room TO play in. The children
seemed happy, too, and were not dis
turcd particle by their tcthcr.
On nearly all the boats the children
are allowed to roam about the deck at
Will, both while coming down the river
IN tow and while tied up to the dock.
Many OF them are born aboard tho
boats. There they grow up and in
many eases marry, selecting their
mates from aboard other boats, and
taking up the life followed
by their parents.

PERILS OF THE RAIL,
Nearly 5000 Persons Killed and 10000
Injured on Dor Railroads in the
Year 1889.

WAsHINGToN.-D the late session
of the National Convention of Railroad
Commissioners here a statement compil ed
by the statistIcian of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, was submitted to the
convention, showing the number of persons
killed and injured in railway accidents in
the United States during the year ending
June 30, 1889. This statement shows that
during that time 1923 persons were killed
and 26, 309 injured. Of the number killed
1872 were employees, 80 were passengers
and 3541 were denominated "0ther per-
sons. Of the injured 20,028 were en-
ployes, 2l46 were passengers and Abs were
other persons.
The statement further says: ''The rail
ways of the United States carried 472, III
3343 passengers during the year covered by
this statement, from which it appears that
one passenger in every 1923, 1873 was killed,
and one passenger in every 220,024 was in
jured
For the year 1888, the rate of casualty
In England to passengers from railroad
accidents was one passenger in 6,942, 1856
killed, and one passenger in 527,577 in
jured.
In Judging of the abovefgures it should
be noted that passenger mileage for a given
number of tickets sold is much greater in
the United States than in England, fact
which mitigates somewhat the severity of
judgment upon railway management in
the United States disclosed in the above
comparisons.
The number of railway employees in the
United States is given at 704. 1876.

Moths.

Most people fancy that the moth fiy
is the animal which does the damage.
So it is; but only in an indirect way.
The moth fly lays eggs, from which
hatch small worms, and these small
worms it is which do the damage.
The mother fly, with the instinct
with which nature has provided her,
seeks dark places wherein to deposit
her eggs. in the hope that they may
not be disturbed until her offspring has
come to life. If, therefore, we could
keep our winter clothes exposed to the
full light of day, and each morning
could beat them and shake them to
prevent any lurking insect from max
ing its home in the recesses of a fold or
plat, we would never be necessitated
to put our goods away in camphor,
pepper, tobacco, or that invention of
modern days (than which nothing can
be more detestable) tar-camphor.
AS we have no time or inclination
for such work, we must needs find
some other remedy. If our goods have
been carefully examined and brushed.
each concealed spot having been care
fully exposed to the light, there is
really no necessity for anything more
than thoroughly covering them with
a thickness of paper and old muslin in
such way as to prevent the fly from
depositing her eggs.
The only purpose which tobacco and
other small insecticides can perform is
to poison the small worm when he APP
pears and begins to forage for living
upon the KNAPP of our last winters

If any housekeeper is troubled with

self of them is to take wet towel,
place it upon the carpet, and iron with
an iron sufficiently hot to produce
good steam, being careful to protect
her hands from burning. These ami

furniture, where it is dark.

loose from the rack and ran away. A
rose bush in the courthouse ward
shook its blooming head. Then there
followed silence so profound that it
seemed as if nature were holding her
breath, and then all the dust of the
street arose in the air. In another
moment there was Il terrific roar. The
cloud had burst and a cyclone had
struck the town. The houses. built of
wood. vanished-the rack. horses and
all were gone. The great oak tree
under which so many boys, now gray
with age, had played, fell with loud
crash. and an old man was thrown into
its wavering LAP" and torn to pieces
A woman fell on her knees and
shrieked as she saw her child flying
through the air, and the next moment
she lay dead with a heavy beam lying
on her neck. The cupola of the court
house was hurled through the storm
with the bell tolling, and an old cow,
with her bell ringing, was smashed to
death between two flying pieces of TIM
Der. The rose bush in the courthouse
yard lay flat on the ground.
The storm was gone; of the sleepy,
contented town, nothing was left but
wild scene of desolation, The great
oak tree lay on the ground. The rose
bush in the courthouse yard straight
ened up and shook its blooming head.

AFTER A NIGHT OF WEEPING.
SUNDAY MAGAZINE.

When the long night of WEAKNESS and pain
3s fnl of bitter thoughts and doubts that sting,
do we not long to hear some holy strain
That far off angels sing?
When every golden deed the heart hath planned.
lis darkness by The fear offailing powers,
And all our life seems like a barren land,
Unblessed by sun and showers.
When every word that loving lips have said
Sounds 70 the morbid fancy falsely sweet;
And every truth that we have heard or read
Seems roor and incomplete.
When the one thing wherein our hopes are set
Is still withheld although we pray and weep,
Until We murmur, Can the Lord forget?
Or doth the Master sIeep:''
When the old sin that we had nearly crushed,
Arrayed in all its fearful might appears,
And warming voices that we thought were
bnshed,
Call from departed years
Then, like an evening wind that unperceived
Eeareth an oder from the rose !, breast,
Comes the remembrance: eve which have be
iieved
Do enter into rest
And our eyes close, and ali the phantom throng
OF doubts and troubles vanish into air;
And the one face that we have loved so long,
Smiles calm and fair.
The face that in our darkest hour is bright,
The tranquil blow that never wears frOwn,
The stPadfast eyes that never close their light
Beneath the thOrny crown.
So at His word the clouds are all withdrawn,
The small, sharp pains of life are smoothed
After the night of weeping comes this dawn,
And then, His perfect day.
