Worried Him ON His Death. BED.

tIt is curious" said the Doctor, 'fo
sec how trivial thing will occupy a
mans mind, and sometimes crowd out
or oversha ow things much more Sc
rious.
"S)mc years ago a man took book
ont of Loring's circulating library. He
had often had books from the library
before, and had always returned them
promptly.
"But this book the man took with
him on little railway journey, and
the train on which the man travelled
was wrecked just before hc got into
the city, and he was very badly hurt.
They brought him to the hospital,
and lie was unconscious for a long
time. When he came TO, nothing
seemed to give him the slightest un-
e sincss except the book which he had
taken from The circulating library.
"lIe asked where the book was. lie
insisted on having it.
"Nobody knew where it was. 1t
hal not been seen since the wreck.
The man lay there on his cot and
groaned; oh, my Godl That book,
that book Lost, and two cents day
all the timen
"Well, it was plain that the man
would die if the book were not found,
and so one of his relatives went to the
scene of the wreck and hunted for it.
lie discovered that one of the men in
the wrecking gang had found the book
in the clearing away of the debris.
"Aud SO the book was returned to
tie library, but it was too late. The
man in The hospital died, and to the
last Ike groaning: Two cents day
Oh, my God!'
"That," said the Doctor, e'is true
story, as you will learn if you go to
the circulating library and ask."-

Raising Rice in japan,

Before the fields are hoed tbo srr-
face is covered with vegetables or
straw, such as bean, haulm or bamboo
grass, which decay in time and make
excellent fertilizers. This coating is
turned under the mud by means of
hoes little larger than ordinary
spades. Sometimes subsoil plough
is used to accomplish the same result,
The coating of vegetation keeps the
mnddy earth open and in a porous
condition the Grstscason and furnishes
fertilization for the second. After
the surface is carefully smoothcd, it is
covered for depth Of six inches with
water. This process Of irrigation is
very particular, although simple
enough. Water is conducted into the
field of the highest elevation in the
neighborhood, which it overflows, and
then is carried to tic next field, few
inches lower, and on through the
VIII )lc series of fields to the lowest.
Water at the uniform depth of six
inches is allowed TO stand in each. If
by chance any of the fields cannot bo
watered in this way, another method
is used. Water is thrown up to the
required level by means of tread
wheels, placed in the channels built
for the purpose. The weight of the
men who tread the wheels IS sufficient
to throw the water up to consider
able height.
The rice plants are pulled out of
their seed beds and several stems are
punched together and pressed into the
mud. The plants are irrcgularly
placed to allow as abundant a growth
as possible. The men and women who
plant this aquatic grain stand in the
mud and water half way up to their
knees all day long while tho bistering
rays of the sun pour down upon their
bare heads. After few weeks the
plants are ready to be ruddled. The
mud must be pressed around each
bunch of plants, and weeks arc spent
by The growers in the sIushy fields
again. The water is gradually
stopped, and by the time the rice corn
is ready TO be cut the fields arc fairly
dry. Each bunch is cut with a hand
sickle after the manner of barley or
wheat, and the rice corns are knocked
off by hand. The grain is bundled
and carried from the fields by men
and women, OR strapped Oh Inc back

WHAT TYPHUS FEVER is.
Its Origin, symptoms, Treatment,
and Ratio of Fatality.

Typhus fever is called by various
names Spotted fever and jail, ship,
hospital, putrid, or pestilential fever are
all the same. 1t has been dreaded for
hundreds of years as an epidemic pesti-
lence, and is cspeciu = dangerous to
persons advanced in years. The NOR
tality i'll children under fifteen years old
sick with typhus is ; per cent; in per-
sons over fifty years old, the mortality
is set at is per cent. The average NOR
ta.ity is lS per cent. 1t has appeared in
all parts Of the world but is moro to be
dreaded in temperate OF cold climates. ;
The main predisposing cause of ftyphus
is a low health rate. Where population
the danger is greatest, and these condi-
tions obtain not only in crowded cities,
but in armies atield, in prisons, and
wherever human beings are packed
too closely. The belief used to be cur
rent that such conditions only were neces-
sary to create the disease, but it is now
thought that a specific germ must enter
the human system before the disease can
develop No typhus germ has ever been
Qctualy discovered, although several dis
tingushcd physicians have believed for
the time that the discovery had been
made, but the presumption is much
against typhus appearing from the be-
ginning without the entrance of living
organism.
The course Of typhus covers a period
Of about fourteen days from inception to
crisis, of which the longest stage is that
Of incubation, from the inception of tho
poison into the system to the first mani
testation Of special evidence Of the dis
ease. No special symptoms mark this
stage, except a general lassitude. Tho
invasion of the. fever is tho second
stage, and the symptoms are Of rigOr rand
Of pro o'ongcd chills combined with dis
tressing headache and inability to sleep.
High fever soon develops, and the pulse,
at first full but afterward feeble, is
rapid the beats ranging from 100 to 1870
or moro. The height of the fever is
usually reached about the seventh day,
when in favorable cases q drop Of l de-
gree from the maximum l03 to l05 de-
grces is often noted. If this subsidenco
does not come the case is usually severe.
The tongue is brown and dry, the teeth

tite, but an intense thirst Tho bowels

marked by the appearance of dark rod

and back, and sometimes on the face.
This is usually accompanied by faint
mottling Of the whole surface. The pa

Mrs. Kyber's ear.

Down the Stream.

Love! II began with a glance,
Grew with the growing OF flowers,
Smiled in dreamsul trance,
Reckoned not tie passage Of hours;
Our passions food rose ever,
Flowing for her aud me,
TIL the brook became a river
And the river became sea.
Grief 1t began with a word,
Grew with the winds that ravcd;
A prayer for pardon unhcard,
Pardon in turn uncrayed;
The bridge so easy TO sever,
The stream so swift to be free.
Till the brook became river,
Aud the river became a sea.
Lifel 1t began with sigh,
Grew with leaves that are dead;
It's pleasures with wings to fly,
It's sorrows with limbs of lead;
And rest remaineth never
For the wearer hours to be,
Till the brook shall become a riyer,
And the river become Il sea.

THE death of Mrs. Harrison, wife of
the President, took place at 1.4O
o'clock, yesterday morning, in the
White House. Sympathy for the be-
reaved and respect for the deceased, is
manifested throughout the nation.
She was a typical American wife
and mother, fitting helpmeet for her
husband, when he was a struggling
young lawyer; a brave and devoted
wife, when duty called him to service
on the battlefield, and a refined and
cultured mistress of the White
House, when he was elevated
to the highest Office in the gift of the
American people. She was known
and beloved for her devotion to simple
wifely and mOtherly duties, as well as
respected for the culture that enabled
her to take her proper place at the
head of Washington society, when she
was called upon to assume that posi-
tiOn. The funeral will take place at
Indianapolis on Friday.
