Curious Epitaphs.

While strolling in the fields near a
small hamlet not thirty miles from Ro-
chester, | came across an antiauated
graveyard overgrown with ivy and
MOSES, the stones of which bore dates
between 1896 and 1920. | scraped the
mold from few OF the stones and
brought to light these inscriptions. This
one is modest.
'My body TO the grave / give,
My soul TO God hope is fed
When this my children
You do see, remember me-"
This, on a child's grave, is not without
pathos;
'This lovely bud so young and fare,
Cald hence by erly doome,
just caught 10 show how sweet a flower in
Paradise would bloom"
This one also preserves the phonetic
method:
youth like a morning flour,
Cut down aud withered in an hour"
Notice the unexpected word division
in these
ITO worlds of sperits I am gone
anu leIJ my Trends beh-
ind to mourn
My body lies here in the dust,
My soul is stationed wi
tn the blest.
"Hark, my gay friends, to you my voice has
been,
Refrain from folly and forsake your sin;
Stil from the dead faiu would seni my
cries,
Trust in the Saviour, don't His grace de.
spise."
This is as good as any have seen:
"a thousand ways cut short our days,
None are exempt from death,
A honey-bee by stinging me
DID stop my mortal breath

A SONG OF REST,
OH sing me a song Of evening,

Obi sing me song Of evening,
A song Of peace and rest,
When, weary with useless flying,
The wild birds seek the nest;
When the lamps of home are lighted
And those we love draw nigh,
And overhead the kindly stars
Are smiling in the sky.
The day has been dark and dreary,
The shadows fall thick and fast,
And my limbs aud my heart are weary
From battling with the blast;
And now as the shades of evening
Creep darkly o'er the land,
sigh for a breath of peace and rest
And the touch of friendly hand.
Ny thoughts turn back in the twilight,
To scenes long passed away,
When, free from the thrall of labor,
wandered in childish play;
see the vine-clad doorway,
Where oft my mother STOOL
And the thoughts of a home know no more
Come DER me like a flood.
Then sing me a song of evening,
OF peaceful love and rest;
am weary Of useless striving -
Aud 1 long for the sheltering nest.
The rugged shadows of evening
Are filling all the land,
And | sigh for a breath of love and rest
And the touch of mothers hand

Old Sailors Get Sea Sick. Too.

"Seafaring men often suffer from sea.
sickness" said a retired navy officer.
81 used to get a touch OF It every voy.
age. Not the long continued and some.
times deathly illness of the laudsmen,
but decidedly uncomfortable, neverthe-
less. 1t usually lasted day with me
sometimes only few hours. 1t would
repeat itself as soon as we left next port.
The only time l ever missed it was when
we were chasing a Confederate blockade
runner. got so excited that forgot
oil about it. Curiously enough when the
excitement was all over l felt a tinge OF
it, as usual.
at is the bilious temperament I've
been so humiliated over it that could
shed tears. No, wouldn't dare 90 OIL
the coast fishing because know I'd be
sick. There is really no sure remedy for
seasickness, though the best precaution
against a violent attack is TO 90 without
eating or drinking on the day you sail.
Most people invite seasickness by over
loading the stomach with their friends
just before sailing, "-ASs0 York Heral2.

Morbid Winking by Miners,

DR.. Smell persists in his opinion that
there is no reason for supposing that ny.
stagmussor the nervous disease which
manifests itself in morbid winking OF
the eye, so common among miners, is at.
tributable to working by the imperfect
light OF the safety lamp. The fact that
the complaint is found among the workers
with naked lights is in itself sufficient to
throw doubt upon the long-prevaIent
theory. The Government Inspector of
Mines for the Midland District notes, or
DR.. Stokes's authority, the case of man
who, after working with the Davy lamr
for fourteen years without injury, pro.
ceeded to work at a pit where candles
were used. He had been employed three
three and ope-half years, and during the
last twelve months he experienced symp-
toms OF nystagmus, and had ultimately
to leave work and seek medical aid. DR..
Smell has collected mass of facts and
record of large number of instances of
men suffering from the affection, which
will, he believes, be very corroborative
of the views he has before set forth,
namely, that the prime cause of the affec-
tion is to be found in the position as
sumed by tho miner at his work.-Loa.

Professor Elisha Gray remarks that
electrical science has made greater nd.
vance in the last twenty years than in
all the 5000 historic years preceding.
More is discovered in one day now than
In 1000 years formerly. We find all
sorts of work for electricity to do. We
make it carry our messages, drive our
engines, ring our door bell and scare the
burglar; we take it as medicine, light
our gas with it, see by it, hear from it,
talk with it, and now we are beginning
to teach it to write. What will it moi
yet be doing for usl asks the Boston
Transcript.

The most important phase of the exhibit
Us the showing of deposits in the State
and National banks, which reach the ag
'gregate of $50, 5O7, O43, or SAT per
capita, showing that in spite of the
failure of crops in the western part of
the State last year and low prices for
series Of years, the people are in excop-
tionally good financial condition, with
almost enough cash on deposit to liqui-
date the entire farm mortgage indebted
ness of the State. In 1868 the value of
property was $32, 900, 900; the actual
valuation in 1891 is 81, $50, 100, 300.
The estimated yield for this year in all
crops is greater than ever before. Seven
years ago no cattle or hogs were slaught

The King Of Spain's Foibles.

The Paris Figaro thus describes tn,
King of Spain; ''He is small, very small
but sinewy, restless, full of fun, and pre-
cocious. He dreams of uniforms, fagl
and battles. He will not have toy horses
but for two years has desired liv,
horse, in order to run races. He saw,
thou to all people. He likes to nick
name the old Generals. For instance
Marshal Martinez Campos, chief of the
military cabinet, is called 'Campitos' b,
the child. When he does not get what
he wishes at once he grows exceedingly
angry and Gun be quieted only by the sof
words of the Queen Regent. He is stub
born. He speaks excellent English al
ready. What offends him especially il
the knowledge that he is still child
He would like TO grow large at once, b,
a man with a great mustache without de
lay. He cannot understand how the
King of Spain can be so small"

hydrogen sulphide to act upon acetone
They obtained trithio ,acetone and new
compound, non-volatile and crystalline,

stance was given off, to whose odor all
the most ill-smelling substances hitherto
known were as altar of roses. The dis
