ton, which brings into question the inter-

to recover damages under the alleged
violation of an act OF congress approved

that the defendants compelled them to
pay freight at the rate Of SIG per ton while
the just rate was but $3.50. Plaintiffs
claim as damages $4,000.

east bank, broke this morning at 6 o'clock.
The opening is 100 feet wide and five feet
deep.
St. Louis.-The river now registers thirty
five feet, and should it rise another foot
it is impossible to tell what damage may
be done. There is very probability that
another foot rise will be recorded, as both
the Missouri and Mississippi are reported
as still rising above here.
The Bowman dyke, which protected a
large section of lowlands on the north and
east sides of st. Louis, has been broken,
and hundreds of acres of land are now
submerged. People residing in this
region were warned, and all of them es-
capped, but some of them had to leave
their household effects to the mercy Of
the rushing waters. The water works Of
East St.. Louis are in great danger, and
large force of men are working to save
them from destruction.

CONTROL YOUR PASSIONS.
Each Person Is the Architect of His Ow
TEMPER.

Each Person Is the Architect of His Own
Temper.
A proud, irritable and quick-tempered
person can seldom be happy. He has
thrown a tempestuous atmosphere
around himself, and must move in a
region of storms-above which he can
seldom rise. even if he wishes He has
employed sure means to embitter life,
whatever may be his external circum-
stances. He has been the architect of
his temper.
But person who has formed his
temper and dispositions of mind after a
right model who is humble, meek,
cheerful and contented-can commonly
find convenient shelter when over
taken by the storms of life 1t should,
therefore, be our early lesson to sub
ject the passions to the control of rea-
son. The first are the gales to impel
us in the voyage Of life, but the last
ought still to sit at the helm and direct
our course.
The stream, when it slowly descends
from the mountain and ripples through
the plain, adorns the scene; but when il
rushes down in a roaring and impetu-
GUS torrent, overlooking it's banks, ii
carries devastation and ruin along with
it; so, when the passions are kept under
due restraint, they are a useful and
felicitating part of our nature; but,
when they are allowed to rage with IN.
bridled fury, they commit fearful raw
ages on the character which they were
fitted to adorn and exalt.
We must watch over the first move
ments of the heart, and not indulge,
with secret complacency, in imagina-
tions, which we would be ashamed &c
own. If we wish the streams of life to
be pure, it ought to be our aim to pre-
serve the fountain whence it flows un.
polluted.-N. y. Ledger

made when he asked about papa: but
she answered, quite calmly: YES,

Then she was quiet for such long
time that Laddie concluded she must

of the room, and, Selling his cap and
muller, fairly ran in the direction of
the Western station. AS he neared the
place, he saw that the train had al

very sad ones.
Mammals headache seemed to grow
worse instead of better, as the day
went by, and often he saw her crying
quietly. He knew then that she was
thinking of papa for she always cried
when she thought or spoke of him.
Papa had gone away in a big ship
somewhere, long ago, when Laddie was
baby, and the ship had been wrecked
and he never came back. Laddie often
asked if there were no hopes of his
ever coming, but mamma looked so
sorry when she said: I'm afraid not
little one" that he had about given up
trying to find out any more.
One day, II was the thirteenth day of
this sparkling February, Hannah sent
Laddie down town on an >rrand. and

passed the gay shops he eagerly looked

INITIATIVE BIRDS.
Funny Feathered Folk That Laugh. Cry
and Talk.

Funny Feathered Folk That Laugh. Cry
and Talk.
There is a species of crows in India
which assemblies in focks of about
twenty or thirty in the recesses of for
ests, and whose note so exactly resem-
bles the human voice in loud laughing
would fancy that very merry party
was close at hand. The laughing jack
ass. when warning his feathered mates
that day break is at hand, utters a cry
resembling troop of boys shouting,
whooping and laughing in a wild Choir
u.s. The innocent night jar, which has
been slandered under the name of goat
sucker, has a cry, an observer says as
of one lamenting in distress, which once
heard is never forgotten. "A stranger
would never conceive it to be the cry Of
bird. He would say it was the de-
parting voice of a midnight murdered
victim, or the last wailing of Niobe for
her poor children before she was turned
to stone" Among birds that have the
power of imitation the parrot is sup
posed to talk the BEST but. as a matter
of fact, its voice is decidedly inferior TIC
that of the mynah, species of startling.
of which there are examples at the
London Geological Gardens. Curiously
enough the male bird speaks in high,
clear tone, like that of child, while
the female has gruff voice. Yhe
mynahs are fond of showing off THEN
vocal powers to visitors to the gardens.
Another bird the morepork, OF
Australia, is frequently heard vehe
mently demanding more pork, in clear,
stentorian voice. Our whip-poor- will
also demands his punishment in a dis
tinct imitation of the human voice, and
the command of the guinea fowl to
come back could easily be mistaken fo1
human voice. Coming to quadrupeds
the cries of none approach more closely
that OF the human voice than those of
seals when lamenting the loss or cap
ture of their young They emit wall
ing and affecting cry, similar to that Of
woman in deep grief. The cry of a
wounded hare resembles that of a child
in distress. Its piercing Shrek can, on
still night, be plainly heard at a dis
lance of more than mile-Broolslyn

Better Sleep Alone.

1t is the better plan for each indi-
vidual, young or old, to sleep alone. In
sleep, the body is throwing off excretory
substances; the bad odor of close, I'M
aired sleeping room, is sufficient evil
dence of the presence Of the effete mat
ters thus thrown off. With two per-
sons under the same covering. the
amount of foul body exhalations is
doubled, consequently the atmosphere
surrounding the body is very bad. The
bed clothing should be as porous as pos
sible for the better ventilation of the
body, and consequently wooden blank
cts make the best covers. 1t is some
times recommended that quilts and
comfortables shall be lined with paper
to make them warmer but this is I'M
wholesome, for paper keeps the air
from circulating through the bed as it
should for health. One German physi-
clan recommends a single bed for each
person, and that is the truly hygienic
plan. From lecture by DR.. J. H. Kel-

gloomy, though he saw the sun shine
and the snow sparkle, and heard the
sleigh bells tinkle as everyone did
But Laddie was a little fellow = very
little for seven years and. he hadn't
many ways of amusing himself when
shut up in the house, especially when
mamma was too weak and tired to
read to him or invent games. This
