An Entire Family Drowned.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Feb. 9-The
four children of Jacob r. Slater were
skating ON the lake at Biunewater,
about six miles from here, this after
noon, when the ice, which was but
a few inches in thickness, gave way
and the little ones were precipitated
into the water. Their shouts were
heard by the members of the family,
who lived near by, and the father and
mother rushed to the rescue. BY the
time they had reached the lake the
four children had disappeared be-
meath the ice. The mother, frantic
with the thought of her drowning
children, rushed upon the ice which
gave way with her weight and she
sank below the surface. Mr.. Slater
then attempted to reach his wife and
he too was drowned. The entire fam
lily is wiped out of existence. To-
night hundreds of people are gather
ed about the lake searching for the
bodies.

Leprosy Here and Elsewhere.

DR.. Hansen, the Norwegian discoverer
of the bacillus of leprosy, came over to
this country while ago to trace the his
tory of leper il migrants who had settled
In Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
OF 100 original 'eper immigrants he was
able to find only 13; a few more may be
living, but nearly lat are dead. OF all
their descendants, 70 far as great-grand-
children, not one has become leper. In
this country the disea se does not increase
nor does it appear to be hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to be
due to the improved conditions of living
which the immigrants are able to secure
on this side of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking Of
leper lately found at Brentwood, Eng
land, says that many persons believe that
leprosy has entirely disappeared from
England, yet there has probably never
been a year in which score of lepers
could not be produced, and that, though
England used to have lepers enough,
leprosy has become a very rare disease
since English homes and English roads
have been kept clean.

A Dogs Friends.

Did the reader ever see dog perform
the ceremony of introducing a human
friend? The writer has himself seen the
thing done in way, but never, perhaps,
so plainly and prettily as friend of his
has lately witnessed it, the friend himself
being the Introduced party" His friend
call him Mr.. j. lives in Roxbury.
For near neighbor he has man who
keeps carriage and also fine setter
dog. Mr.. ]. does not enjoy the acquaint-
ance of the neighbor, but he has come to
be on excellent terms of friendship with
the dog.
Every day Mr.. j sallies forth au
about the same hour. Every day he
meets the dog whose salutations have
gradually passed from mere friendly
formalities to affectionate greetings.
Yesterday as Mr.. j came out of his
house, he found the dog-who always,
when the carriage starts, goes circling
about the horses head, barking with Joy
waiting for him. The carriage, with
the horses attached, stood waiting for its
occupant. The dog at once came bound
ing up to J., and then went bounding
back to the horse. He licked the horse
on the nose, and came back to j
again, and again returned to the horse,
evidently laboring under the stress OF
something that he wanted to say or do.
1t was quite plain, in fact, that he
wanted his human friend to take notice
of his equine friend; he was doing his
best to introduce the man to the horse
and make them friends too. So j,
whose big heart can include horses as
we'll as dogs, yielded to the dogs earnest
solicitations; he went up to the horse
and patted its head and rubbed its nose.
And then the dogs satisfaction and gay
ETY. were simply inexpressible. He gy-
rated about until it seemed as if he were
in danger of swallowing his own tail;
and his affection, both for the man and
for the horse, was plainly greatly in
creased by the consciousness that they
now knew each other.-Boston Tran
script.

In hiding, Feb. 10Th, 1890.

The SITTER calls attention to the
advertisement, to be found on local
page, cf Hon. G. S. Page of Hyde
Park. Mr.. Page is one of the larg-
est dealers in calf skins in America.
The following clipped from late
issue of the Boston Herald will give
some idea of his business:
Mr.. Page is an interesting man person
ally and in his business life. A visit to
hi 1t alher establishment at Hyde Park
would reveal an object lesson in business
methods that would do every young man
in this country good. The foresight,
system and thor"uShness Illustrated at
every hand are marvellous. The business
is unique. Mr.. Pages father bought and
sold calf hins in a small way. but the
development of the present extensive
plant is the work of tine son. Ii is simply
an elaborate asserting, classifying system,
with the idea of having on hand large
quantities cali skins in every grade and
weight, so carefully classified that skins in
the same class do not vary in weight from
each other half a pound. There are-or
were, for it is possible new grades have
been added recently-some l56 varieties
in separate compartments in the cellar of
the shop, and orders from tannerirs in
any part of the country can be filled in
the very shortest time ami with the most
exact attention 10 grade. Over 500 buy
crs of calf skins are in all parts of the
country purchasing skins, which, after
| they are properly cleaned and classified,
are sent, possibly, to the taunerieS in the
very sections of the country fron which
they came. The receipts of skins have
grown from 5000 in year 10 over $4,000
| in month, and yearly business of
| $780, 900 is done. OF course, natural
conditions have much to do with the
growth of this business. for cool air and
pure water in the warm months are ab-
solutey essential Yet the cool air and
1
pure water have always been ON these
Vermont hills, but no Que but Mr.. Page
has seen to what a profitable use they
could be put The scientific assortment
of skins is not the only interesting fea-
lure of the establishment. The system
of bookkeeping, which. it can be seen,
is necessarily complicated, is as close
to perfection as can well be imagined.
MIR. Page has faculty for putting into
writing the most insignificant details and
of making them tel. something.
/ So much for MIR. Pages business. He
is an active politician having been Secre-
tary of the State Committee and now be-
ing its chairman. From 1884 to 1888, he
was State Inspector of Finance, and in
this position he distinguished himself by
keeping ii waichful eye open for banks
that show disposition to step ou, of the
field OF legai investment. Mr. Page is q
Veimonier in every fibre and every in
stinct. He invcsis his money in the
State, and has faith in the future OF it,

The plague which the agriculturists of
England are now suffering from the raw
ages of rats is not without precedent in
Canada. The nearest approach to this
rat plague is the plague of mice which
visited Prince Edward Island and Nova
Scotia in the early part of the century.
As long ago as 1899 the undue preva-
lence of mice in Prince Edward Island,
or the Island Of st. John as it was then
called, was noted by the French settlers;
and in 1774, both on that island and on
the adjacent main land, complaint
arose that these animals were again too
numerous and too familiar. In the lat
ter year the mice visited the fields and
ate up everything, including the pota-
toes, and having finished this disastrous
work they turned their attention to liter
ature, and consumed the leather binding
of the settlers books.-Ottawa Telegram.

HeATHEN NEAR HOME.


fui Hnls--M -Missioa Work Needed.
Hidden away among the blue hills Of
Berkshire, or appearing like scars upon
her sunny valleys, one occasionally sees
weather beaten, ramshackle houses, sur
rounded by neglected gardens, fields and
orchards. Yards encumbered with old
wagons, q bony, superannuated horse,
grazing at will, and the presence of un-
couth individuals show, what we would
otherwise scarcely suspect. that these are
the dwelling places of human beings. In
ninety mine cases out of hundred the
dwellers in these isolated rookeries and
mountain cabins belong to q class whose
standards are far below those of the ordi-
nary illiterate laborer--a class that is
considered hardly within the pale of our
civilization. The children Of this class
are dull often to idiocy. This and their
irregular attendance at school accounts
for the fact that they are furnished with
the barest rudiments of knowledge.
Catherine Sedgwick speaks of these as
people who hang on the outskirts of
civilization" and comments on their dia-
lect and peculiar manners.
A gentleman of unquestioned veracity
says that in one of the families there
were not as many articles of clothing as
there were children, and on the rare ap-
proach of team the unclad ones scut-
tied Hike 80 many rabbits into the bushes.
The mother made "bread" by stirring
water into -four and throwing this paste
on the stove. In summer the children
fed, like the babes in the wood, mostly
on berries. There was but one chair,
which was occupied by the father. The
mother, after throwing the potatoes out
of the pot, made it do duty as a chair.
Another numerous tribe, living near this
one, had but one bed.
The picturesqueness Of the street gamin
is lacking among the children Of this
class. They are positively repulsive.
One Of them, remember, was dis
tinguished from all the rest by certain
fawn like grace and shyness, and an ex
preston of great sadness in her dark
eyes. One cold day l walked with her
toward her cherries home. Bitter winds
blew her straight. dark hair about her

up to twice his usual size, like great

his google eyes bulging out like peel

oath that he would have BLOOD !
Nothing but human gore by the pail
full would pacify him. So he donned
his pastboald helmet, bucbled ON his
sword of lath, seized his little pop
gun and started out hunting for poor
inoffensive Peeping Tom The
very earth trembled with every step
he took, and his angry roar was
louder than that of Farmer Hooker's
biggest prize bull. Is it any wonder
poor Tom was afraid and took to his
heels for safety

and after his magnificent Dragging
and prowess, Boss Hooker is still
spoiling for fight, and is busy
marshalling his trained band of fol.
lowers for town meeting. He can't
make up his mind to give up an

crush the nonsense out of him, and
then he'll die sure.
