story-Book Romance.

From Stamford, Conn, comes the tale
of an inheritance which reads like the
plot of an English sensational novel,
saws the Boston Courier. A crippled
music teacher of that place had. by
strictest economy, saved, some thirty
years ago, about 81, 500, with which he
intended to buy a home for himself and
his mother. He always kept the money
beside his bed, and one night it was
stolen. All search was unavailing and
the poor fellow took up his work again
with weary heart. But the sequel of
the tale is that not long since the music
teacher, still poor and obscure, received
a letter from a man in Australia, whose
name he never even heard, SAYING that
he was on the point of death, that he had
stolen the money, and so greatly had it
thriven in his hands that he had amassed
a large fortune, all of which he had
willed to the musician. Not long after
the Australian was gathered to his fathers,
and his lawyers informed the American
that he had fallen heir to an estate worth
over $50, 900. 600. The moral of the tale
is whatever the reader pleases.

gard to offers of help, we have all the

Molokai there are the Franciscan Sis
tiers. l have read aud received many
notices concerning lepers, but think l
may say, from all l have seen here
while under DIR. Lutz, that to treat
lepers a real physician is required, with
a practical knowledge of all the drugs
OF the Pharmacopeia, their action, az
finities, &C., and a further knowledge
of many cutaneous diseases and efiica-
cious remedies; also he must be versed
in microscopic matters.
with all these acquisitions it is pos
sible, as / see here. to arrest the pro-
gress OF the disease, 10 disarm it OF its
malignity and to establish perfect nutri-
ton and good general health. Without
this knowledge / think, an ulcer,
tubercle or any infltration whatever
might quickly be made to look better,
but other eruptions would prove the
futility of the attempt to cure the dis
ease. That is what has happened al
ways when incompetent persons have

PEOPLE who are afraid OF lightning
may be consoled by the knowledge that
there is a thousand times the danger in
the sewer pipes that there is in the
thunder clouds. The deaths by light
ming are few indeed. Who of the read
ers of this paragraph ever lost friend
that way? Who of them hasn't lost a
score of friends by the less brilliant and
less noisy destruction that comes up
out of the drains? The trouble with the
lightning, or the trouble that it gives
the people, is in its indescribable sud-
denness and its absolute uncertainty.
You know neither when it is coming nor
where it is going; all you feel certain
about is that some storms leave a num-
Der of catastrophes to mark their course.
The caprice of the lightning defies the
explanations of science, and there is no
predicting beyond few generalities.
This much it does seem safe to repeat,
even in the lively lightning season, that
the increased use of electricity, With
the multiplicity of wires. has tended to
fewer fatal strokes of lightning in
cities.
