The San Francisco Examiner reporter
says the doctor pulled out a drawer from
under the counter and exhibited hun.
dreds of mummy grasshoppers.
These are good for little children, he
said. I'm China every spring millions
Of these bugs come in the fields Pretty
soon the grasshopper dies and the meat
turns into fly. The hind legs and little
tail drop off and the little ay goes away.
Then there is nothing but the shell left.
The laborers in the fields gather these
and dry them in the sun, They make
good medicine in powders.
"Chinese babies never die from con-
vulsions when teething like white babies.
This powder acts on the stomach when
the stomach teeth are coming through
and makes them good and strong"

Sheep are now sheared by electricity
in Australia, Frederick Wolseley, q
brother Of Lord Wolseley, having In
vented machine for the purpose. The
method of using the shears is very sim
pie, the operator having merely to throw
AFFECTION wheel into adjustment BY
means Of handle, and then push the
comb into the wool, pressing it continu-
ously forward and keeping it as closely
as possible to the body Of the animal b.
ing operated upon. From one to one hun

By this mode the shearing is done moro
mercifully than when done by hand

transition would ue too severe, il would
be painful We must give him the gray
Of the morning first and then the golden
sunrise.
Il WAS now late In the afternoon. 90 IL
was decided that Mira Secord should
spend ,iae night wiSh her sister la the tent
prepared for her and Alice should awaken
at aybreak. dress herself. and, just n
Mr.. Carpenter was passing. allow him to
hear her voice in some old. familiar song.
The family though, the arrangement .
fine one, and 50 the little widow was kept
out Of sight ali the evening. Mr.. Carpen-
ter thought he noticed an unusual ex-
citement on III" part of different ineIn-
bers Of the family, and he said to himself:
She is coming, There is light in the
east.
The next morning was glorious one.
The air was sweet with a fragrance Of
wild flowers. and the soft breeze brought
the sound of sheep bells from the distant
fold. When MIR. Carpenter passed the
tent where the ladies' had spent the
night, he heard a voice which at first he
thought To be Mrs. Secord's, but, listen
ing again, he recognized an old song
which he had sung scores of times
TO Alice in the long ago. Could it be-
it must be-and yet? The old man held
his head with his hands and sank down
upon rude bench near by. Then came
the voice again, sweeter than any he
had ever heard, fuller and deeper, and
trembling with emotion. singing the old
song:
There's light IN The east; 10. rs morning.
A brighter light shines than the light Of yon
sky,
rranscendent the beam Of thy love laden eye.
Eclips,ng the light Of the morning
The world is awake, bircs are singing.
melody sveeter sing thou to my soul
And al thro' my being the music will roll.
Ny heart u awake. come with singing"
Long before Alice had finished the
song the good man had fallen to his
knees, and, with tears streaming down
his face, was now murmuring. God Of
the morning! receive the thanksgiving
Of a heart too full for utterance."
Alice gave joyful cry and rushed to
him. He held her to his breast for some
moments, tnen leu ueE away W MS teilt.
OF course the family were all astir by
this time When they had breakfasted
Mr.. Secord took boat and a pair Of
strong oars, and rowed hastily to Belle
vile. From there he sent this telegram
to their clergyman in Kingston: Autumn
and Winter have met. Come at once"
The clergyman arrived that evening,
and the next morning, standing beside
the waters Of the Bay of Quinte and
bathed in the glorious light Of an I'M
clouded sunrise, these two happy ones
were united forever.
Mr. Carpenter lived until the summer
Of 1880 There will never be any more
night" he often said; lit will always be
morning, either here or there" When
he died the shadows fell around Alice,
but only for a short time, for soon she
closed her eyes to the autumnal tints Of
her life and opened them to the beauties
Of an eternal springtime.-Eva Russ
