Horses and Cattle Persisted.
LONDON, March 13.--While throughout
the London district thaw has set in and
is causing considerable inconvenience to
travellers both on foot and in public
vehicles there are no signs of modera-
ton in the severity OF the weather expert
enced in the southwestern England. A
heavy snow storm prevailed throughout
last night in Devonshire and Cornwall con-
siderably adding to the suilerings of the
larmersof those counties and still further
impending the resumption Of traffic on the
roads Of the southwest.
As for the country roads they are utterly
impossible, high snow drifts completely
preventing any communication between
the towns and villages. This state of af-
fairs naturally is very severe upon numer-
otls villages which depend almost entirely
upon the towns in their neighborhood for
supplies of food and fuel. In fact, in the
case Of number Of these small villages
the desolation is already causing consider
able anxiety as actual starvation stares
them in the face should the weather not
moderate shortly sufficiently to allow
them to bercvictualed. Efforts inthat direc-
ton are already being made but the snow
storms fury iinpcdes the work of rescue,
for such in fact il is.
In addition 10 the enormous losses suf-
fered by the farmers in sheep and cattle.
which have either been frozen to death in
the fields or which have been smothcred
under beneath the mountainous snow
drifts to he found on all sides, large num-
bers of horses have persisted in like man
ncr.
The farmers and villagers as a result Of
the storms of the last few days are living
upon their reserve stocks of bacon and
ham and are turning to their hen roosts
and pig styes for a further supply of food.
The farmers, however, are in state of
complete happiness in comparison with
their poorer neighbors, the country la
borers and artisans Many of these have
no such reserve stocks of food to fall back
upon and are already suffering severely
with the prospect Of further and increased
suffering in the future for some time.

Several Cases Cured.
PITTsBuRG Pa. May, 1889
The we'll known Rev. Pastor A. j. T., who will
readily give his name ou request, writes us: An
orphan under my care suffered from epilepsy
for four years, which had advanced very far,
but three bottles OF Hast0r Koenig's Nerye
Tonic cured him entirely.
Another boy suffered from cramps IN such a
degree That he became violent at times and
endangered his owa life. Treatment in several
hospitals by competent physicians gave only
temporary relief, but after using several hot

cured entirely, and has been well and healthy

Tea with Lilies.

The charming literary wife Of q eel
ebrated New York artist lately intro
duced the prettiest sort of a new
wrinkle in the serving Of her afternoon
tea. When first she handed round the
stearning cups, each with a white,
fower-like fragment floating on top,
her guests were greatly interested over
the innovation. Then she explained,
and, while adding slice Of lemon and
cube of sugar to the fragrant beverage,
coached the women present as to how
they might go and do likewise. 1t ap-
pears she bought crisp, coarse tarlatan,
cut it up in squares Of five by six inches.
pinked the edges in sharp, deep seal
lops, and then, putting a spoonful OF
Russian caravan tea in the center,
tied the leaves in tiny sack by means
of bit Of heavy thread. By rufling out
the loose portions she obtained a bios
SONY look for her new fashioned tea
balls, and not only added immensely to
the daintiness Of her table and cups,
but made it possible for each guest to
suit his or her particular taste. Some
choose to let the tea-ily remain until
strength is attained, while those liking
the weaker drink soon remove the tarla,
tan bag.

A Coming Martinez.

The ten-year-old crown prince Of Ger
many appears to be in a fair way of be-
coming an insufserable little prig. A
few days ago, when returning with his
brothers from drive, the palace guard,
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the imperial children. AS the carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced to run as fast as they could
10 assume their place in the ranks, and
one unfortunate fellow, in his haste,
forgot his gun. This was Immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who, as
soon as ever the carriage had stopped,
instead of entering the palace, hurried
off with his brothers to the officer in
command of the guard for the purpose
of lodging complaint against the sol
der who had appeared without his rifle.
The result was that the soldier was SEN
fenced to four days arrest and to q
further term Of fatigue duty for his re-
naissness, while the Berlin papers are
filed with Mandatory notices of the milf
tary feeling and precision OF the future
Emperor Of Germany. I

CAT AND RAT.
A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares fol-

Homeless Rodent.
A laborer employe one Of the mills
at Suffer Creek has in his house one OF
the strangest families of animals in ex-
istence. The head of the family, says
the San Francisco Call, is an old cat,
which is mother of a thrifty family OF
FIVE kittens; but, in spite of the cares Of
motherhood, she has taken it upon her
self to provide for a rat that she has
| taken under her protection.
During storm about two months ago
a half-grown rat, lame and nearly
drowned, crawled into the house, evi-
IDENTIFY in search Of food and shelter,
and by some chance made it's way to
the place where the old cat lay snugly
ON the heap Of sacks with her family.
Strangely, the mother seemed touched
with pity over the condition Of the wan
derer, and, instead Of attacking him.
she coolly made room for him and did
everything to relieve his sufferings. The
rat displayed every sign Of gratitude,
and the miners family, when they dis
covered the intruder, were SO struck
with surprise that they forb;> !, ..44yone
to disturb them.
The result was that the rat chose to
remain with his new-found friends, and
has now become as docle as his foster
mother. A warm attachment seems to
have sprung UP between the two, and
the rat has grown fat and lazy, wan
dering about as it suits its fancy, and
evidently pleased with its new surround

a Recent Financial and Philan-
thropic Success.
ting Of Great benefit to Chill
dren and the Poorer 81,

The penny provident fund, organized
by the charity organization about two
years ago, is proving q great success
says the New York Sun. L It was the
design of the organization to encourage
the saving Of small sums among its pro-
teges by providing place OF deposit
for even SO small ian amount as !, 8 and
cents, and stations were ablished
at the ten different branch offices Of
the society for carrying out the plan.
So popular did the work become that
outside organizations were allowed to
come in from the churches, the missions,
the Industrial schools, and the working
girls clubs, until there are now 1913 sta
tions Of deposit, 1909 depositors, and
$40, 464e5 on deposit In the different
stations. There are no hired clerks In
these stations, the work all being done
by voluntary charity. The depositors
are quite fairly divided between chill
dren and grown people, and, though it
is the desire OF the society that all ac-
counts of SIS shall be transferred to the
savings banks, many poor people refuse
to take out their money.
The plan Of the work resembles that
so long practiced in England; l, 5, 5, 10,
rs, and SO cent and 81 stamps are sold
to the depositors, pasted in the little
book given to each person, and remain
the guarantee Of the amount due until
it is needed and drawn out again. When
SIS or $40 accumulates the depositors are
helped to open an account in a savings
bank, and the United States and West
side savings banks have placed the
stamps on sale at one of their windows,
where sums Of centup will be received,
and as soon as 81 is accumulated the de.
positor will receive a regular passbook.
This work necessitates the addition of
only one clerk, and it is hoped that 9th
er banks will take it up.
One poor woman succeeded in saving
about $50 in this way, and when hen
husband deserted her short time ago
she was able to start lodgings with the
fund.
a little girl whose father is very In
temperate meets him every pay day be-
fore he reaches saloon, and coaxes all
the money she can from him. This she
divides among her little brothers and
sisters, and ali is placed on deposit. Not
long ago the father, through inte1nper-
ance, was discharged from his work,
and the money thus accumulated by the
children paid the rent until a new sit
uation could be found.
Another little girl has managed to
save enough in pennies and nickels to
pay for having her fathers grave put in
order.
The working girls clubs are some OF
the largest contributors, one club alone
having raised $500 in the last year.
Much of the money is drawn out at
Christmas and during the summer vaca-
tons, but the purpose of the society is
only to save for some such need and not
simply to hoard up money in miserly
manner, -.-sg-5 -. t.e..
