LOST TREASURES.

Hitch on the limb of an old cherry tree
Sang ground robin, at morn's early peep,
While just beneath her. as snug as could be,
Nestled four dear little birdlings asleep.
Tall DER their heads the red timothy rose
Just like forest the long grasses stood,
Safe from all danger the nest to inclose,
While the fond mother went searching for food
Oh, how each clamored and stretched up its bealz,
Soon as she flew painting homeward once more
Down mid the grasses her darlings to seek
Laden with tidbits-a plentiful storel
Sometimes on tiptoe vertured to look
Down at my pets in their snug. messy nest
Praising the gold of each sweet open throat,
Stroking the down of each fair glossy breast.
But, as one morning the meadow crossed,
Lo, mother bird rent the air with her cries;
What could it mean? Had her darlings been lost
Trying to plume their young wings for the skies,
Searching, read her wild notes Of distress
just DER the heads of her innocent brood,
Some cruel vagrant a reed trap had placed,
Frightening the old bird away with her food.
Quickly caught up the treacherous snare,
All, my heart bleeds as tell you the rest
Mother bird came, but she found only there
Four little skeletons starved in the nestl

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
a New Bacillus.-Has the True Cause Of
Badness Been at Last Discovered?

a New Bacillus--Has the True Cause Of
Badness Been at Last Discovered?
DR.. Saymonne is reported to have sue
ceeded in isolating bacillus named by him
"bacillus crinivorax," which he regards as
the cause of badness He claims that it is
found only on tho scalp of man, other hirsute
parts of the body and also the fur Of animals
being free from it. The bacilG invade the hair
follicles and make the hairs very brittle, so
they break off to the skin. Then the roots
themselves are attacked. If the microbes
can be destroyed early in the disease, the
vitality of the hairs may be preserved; but
after the follicles are invaded and their
structures destroyed, badness becomes in
durable. DR.. Saymonne proposes the follow
ing remedy or preventive of badness:
Ten parts crude cod liver oil, ten parts Of
the expressed juice of onions, and five parts
of mucilage or the yolk of an egg are thor
oughly shaken together, and the mixture ap-
piled to the scalp, and well rubbed -, once a
week. This he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair if the roots are not already de-
stroyed. But the remedy, as The Medical
Record remarks, must be very distressing to
the patients friends and neighbors

As the dodgers crowded around the red hot
little stove they appeared to be quite de-
cent set. Ragged and poorly dressed, no
doubt, but only two who appeared to be
tramps among them. They were, by trade,
teamsters, coal beavers, expressmen, railroad
hands, tanners and sailors. Certainly they
were early risers.
A broad shouldered, powerful fellow came
out of a side room and walked down stairs
without a word.
"That's queer duck, said the host. 'He's
boarded with me six years He has a little
oil stove in his room and cooks his own soup
and coffee. He never says single word to
me nor to any one else. I don't know his
name, nor his nationality, nor his trade.
don't even know if he can speak English.
When he pays up he just hands me the
money and says nothing"
At $50 a new character appeared on the
scene. This was stout old woman-doubt-
less the landlords wife-who announced that
coffee was ready. The dodgers flocked into
the side room, and each received quart Of
red hot brown liquid, guiltless of milk or
sugar. What Threats these men must have,
for they drank the boiling stuff from their
bowls without moments hesitationl
At o'clock The Morning News man pre-
pared to depart. The ancient mariner cour-
teously bid him good-by and hoped to see
him again.
There were about thirty-6ve dodgers in the
house, and the host stated that he often had
fifty. Certainly there are not many cities

! Force of fSwitchmen Oh Duty-The Road
Refuses to Arbitrate.
New YORK, Aug. l2.--An air of
quietness prevailed in ard about the
Grand Central freight and passenger
depots all through Sunday night. No
officials were seen about the depot. Ad-
ditional notices were posted up about
the yard announcing the determination
of the company to fight the strike and
promising protection to all employees
who remain at work.
A number of passenger and freight
trains were run ont Monday morning
from the various yards, some manned by
old hands and some by green hands
One hundred and twenty-five policemen
were on duty at the Sixty-ffth street
yards. but the strikers made no demon
stratlOn.
AS the day Wore on trains came in
and went out pretty much as if there
was no strike at all, and the general
opinion OF those not interested was that
the backbone of the strike was broken.
The trains arriving and departing We're
manned by western men IN most in
stances. The sum and substance of the
situation was expressed bya striker, who
said: Unless the tiremen and engineers
join us we are lost,
i he anticipated sympathetic strike of
knights on the Contra! ilroad, OF New
JERSEY, and the Ell 10 roads did not take
place.
Vice President Webb, fog the Wander
bilts, still refuses to submit the case to
arbitratiJl or to confer with the
Knights of Labor He said Monday
morning that the lackboLe of the
strike, so far as the New York end was
concerned, WAS broken.
The Governor Appealed to.
He. was, however, much concerned
about the trouble at Syracuse and
Albany. Erly Monday morning he
telegraphed Governor Hill for militia to
protect the drawbacks likely to he
thrown in its way by the strikers Sew
eral hours later Governor Hill replied to
the dispatch that was sent by Mr.
Webb. lie telegraphed, II will do all
that is necessary.

Mr., Webb said later that he was ia

TRAlNMEN'5 VIEWS.

They Say They'll BE Forced to strike Ia
Project Their Livrs.
ALBANY, Aug II. A peculiar feat.
ure of the strike is that the engineers
firemen and conductors claim that no
matter what their sympathies are, they
will be forced to strike to protect ther
lives. They say that the few new
switchmen engaged are incompetent
and ignorant and that they take their
lives in their hands when they run a
train. TwO-thirds Of the switches have
no attendance whatever. Tney further
assert that the trains of fifteen and sew
cntecn cars sent out have but ore train
man, andin case OF danger could not be
stopped. The men claim that they are
thus forced to the wall 1t is thought
that the men will make this their ex-
cuse.
Twenty fremen struck Monday morn
ing on this division, and the engineers
are refusing to run engines with green
firemen.
Vice President Wobb Monday morn
ing telegraphed Governor Hill for militia
protection at Albany.
The strikers have appointed com
mittee to wait upon the chief of police
and sheriff. requesting that Pinkerton
men be driven out OF the city. They
claim that men have no right under the
ordinance to carry weapons or deploy
police duty. Feeling is very strong
against the PinSertOns, and the chief of
police, believing that his force is suffi-
cient to qrell amy disturbance, will re.
fuse to swear them in as specials. A
prominent police offici.l here says that
some of the Pinkerton men are men
whose portraits are in the rogues' gal
lely here.

THE COTTON CROP.
That of Texis Doing weii-rhc Crop of
the Country.

the Country.
GALVESTON, Tex. Aug. l9.-The crop
reports are most encouraging, and indi-
cate that the present crop of-e0tton will
he o4e of the largest if not the largest,
ever reached i'll the STATE. Reports are
full and complete, covering the entire
cotton producing urea, ana embracing
2i6 points and l'!S counties. Inc dates
run from Aug. > to Aug. 6, The average
being Aug. ). since winch no material
change has taken place except gradual
extension of rainfall into regions
complaining of drouth. Nearly all
unfavorable reports comes from west
and southwest Texas. Central south
east and coast counties report crops fdlly
up TO, or above last year, while, as II
rule, crops in central Texas are the best
that have been produced in Texas in
years.
There is some complaint Of wo ms,
but no damage has Yet been done, and
as farmers are prepared 10 kill them off,
it is not probabla that there will be any.
A good idea Of the exact condition Of
the cotton crop may be formed from the
following summary of reports:
One hundred and ten points report
the condition as good, seventy five as
very good comparison being made with
the famous yield Of 1892 with these,
sixty-five us iair, and twenty-eignt as
not good. Several counties reported no
cotton.
The corn crop is far from good one,
the drouth cutting it short On the
whole. the outlook is favorable, how
ever, and Texas farmers will have little
cause to complain.
