NEVER sPoKETo HIS WIFE.
A'connecticut Man Who Will Talk t.
His Brother, But to No One Else,

A Connecticut Man Who Will Talk to
His Brother, But to No One Else.
John Pratt, ofDanbury, Conn.,, who
shot James Morrow and was dis
charged on the ground that the shoot
ing was accidental, has in all the sixty
years of his life never spoken a word
to any livingperson except his brother
William. With him he converses
fluently and with freedom, but al
ways assures himself that there is no
other listener within hearing. He has
been married twice, each time his wife
being q sister of his mother. His
second wife is now living. No children
blessed either union The efforts to en-
trap John into conversation have
been many and ingenious, but never
successful. His hearing is unnatural
ly acute.
One explanation of Johns peculiar
ity is that his mother incurred the
enmity OF her husbands father, who
lived with them. She swore that she
would never speak to herfather-in-law
again, and she kept her oath for fifteen
years, when she died. On her death
bed her husband tried to persuade her
to at least say she would forgive his
father, but she would not relent.
Three months after taking the strange
oath John was born.
When John was about thirty years
old a young married couple from New
York spent the summer at q house
near Johns farm. The young wife
was deeply impressed with the many
stories told of her temporary neighbor
and expressed a desire to be intro
duced to him. Her husband humored
her whlm and an introduction took
place. From that time there was q
marked change in her. She returned
to her home in New York and in due
time a son was born to her. That
son occupies responsible position
with the government at Washington,
but he is deaf mute.

cELlA's HOMECOMING.

Maidens, kilt your skirts and go
Down the stormy garden-ways,
Pluck the last sweet pinks that blow,
Gather roses, gather bays,
Since our Cecil comes to-day
That has been too long away,
Crowd her chamber with your sweets
Not flower but grows for her!
Make her bed with linen sheets
That have lain in lavender;
Light q fire before she comes
Lest she finds us chill at home.
All, what joy when Celia stands
by the leaping blaze at last,
STOPPING down to warm her hands
All benumbed with the blast,
When we hide her cloak away,
To assure us she shall stay.
Cider bring and cowslip wine,
Fruits and flowers from the east,
Pears and pippings too, and
Saffron leaves to make feast:
China dishes, silver cups,
For the board where Celia sups!
Then, when all the feasting's done,
She shall draw us round the blaze.
Laugh, and tell us every one
Of her far triumphant days
Celia, out of doors star.
BY the hearth holier Lar!

A Method to Determine Death.

n M6LnOQ TO determine Death.
The French Academy ofsciences ten
or fifteen years ago offered prize of
FL 600 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperien-
ced might at once determine whether in
a given case death had ensued or not.
A physician obtained the prize. He
had discovered the following we'll
known phenomenon:-
If the hand of the suspected dead
person is held towards a candle or
other artificial light with the fingers
extended and one touching the other,
and one looks through the spaces be-
tween the fingers towards the light,
there appears a scarlet red color
where the fingers touch each other,
due to the blood still circulating, it
showing itself through the tissues
which have not yet congested. When
life is entirely extinct thephenomenon
of scarlet space between the fingers at
once ceases. The most extensive and
thorough trials established the truth
of this observation..-Tit Bits.

The cost of coal production in Eng
land has increased very largely of late,
necessitating much higher prices. AT
the same time the demand for it, owing
to the rapid extension of manufactures,
has come atlast to equal, if not exceed,
the supply, and fears are entertained
even now that fuel will have to be
imported from abroad, so that it will
not be long before we of the United
States can compete on more than even
terms with the home product. All
that wc need now is the vessels with
which to conduct this trade.

IT is great mistake to imagine that
success without effort will ever make
q man or woman happy. What we
cease to strive for ceases to be success,
and gradually becomes more and more
worthless. Suppose the same wages
to be paid for nothing that are now
rendered for skill and energy and per-
severing work, or the same applause
TO be showered on the mere trifer that
is now given to the public benefactor,
could they possibly kindle the same
joy in the heart of the receiver that
they now do? They would mean moth
ing, stand for nothing, and shortly
would be nothing.

PUBLIC opinion in the United States,
stimulated by innumerable and glaring
miscarriages of justice, for many years
has been steadily ripening to the con-
viction that radical remedies are need

Events are imminent, international in
their character, which inevitably must
WELD powerful influence toward
focusing this sentiment.

CONFIDENCE in the courts is one of
the most important guarantees of good
order. If the habitual criminal be-
ieves that punishment is reasonably
certain in case of detection, he will be
slow to commit crime, and if the
''reputable citizen" feels sure of the
tribunals of the law, he will be slow to
take the law into his own hands.

not said that their success in life was
largely owing to their mothers teach

honor her. The following is one of
the many Illustrations of this truth:

he was only twelve years old: II
