Two years ago her father married again.
Sarah and her stepmother did not agree.
They we're disputing with each other contnu-
ally and the girl found her old trouble again
growing on her.
She decided to come to America and arrived
here during the cholera scare. The long period
passed in quarantine and the hardships suffered
there had pad effect on the girl. When she

money to pay her passage home. He sent her
$50. but she spent the money.
Yesterday she went out to work on but
tonholes. 1t was her first work in the
city. She went home late and said that

room and Mrs. Goldberg's daughter Annie saw
her writing on paper bag. Sarah left the
house for while and came back al o'clock
As she entered the house she fell into a chair
and gasped for water. The Goldbergs put her
to bed, but she died some hours later. She
smel!ed strongly Of carbolic acid.
The note she had written on the paper bag
was in Hebrew. 1t read:
"A person without a character must not live
in this world. am going willingly to my tomb.
You should all be happy. Don't blame me.
1t must be SO. S. NJ.
'P. ST 1 only would be able to live

The Marine Band Did Not Appear.

The non-appearance Of the Marine Band
at the White House grounds yesterday after
noon for the egg-rolling exercises was .
great disappointment to the large crowd
of children and others who were gathered
to participate in the fun or to watch the
enjoyment of the younger ones. 1t had been
announced in the papers that the band would
play and the matter had even gone SO far that
the leader of the band, Prof. Fanciulli, had
be eminently pleasing to children. At
the last moment, however. the band, it was
found. had not been ordered TO be present,
and, as there was some hitch in the prepare
tons. the afternoon passed of without music
and great was the sorrow Of the young people
Some Of them waited until quite q late hour in
the hope that the band would put in an ap-
pearance, but their hopes were groundless.

Indian Legends to Order.

The American Folklore society charges that college students who serve as wait CTS at Maine summer resort hotels are trying to supply the demand for Indian legends connected with each rock, hill and stream by manufacturing them, making the legend fit the name instead of the name fit the legend, and proposes to see what can be done about it. But college students should not be charged with a monopoly of this business, even if they are guilty at all. It was long before the days of student walters that the ab- surd story of the derivation of monhegan, from the pigeon English, "man-he-gone, instead of from the real Indian words, ''menahan," an island, and "kgan," land in the great sea, was circulated and the other equally ridiculous attempt to translate mooselucmeguntic into ''moose-he-look- -my-gun-tick.
 At the meeting of the Folklore society, where the charge against the students was made, enc speaker noted that Beaver island in Maine was so called because a beaver crawled out of lake on that is- land at the command of the great spirit. Is "beaver' an Indian words-Lewtston TEarusl

Children Recite IonpfelIow

What child in the public schools knows anything about Longfellow?' asked Dr. Stamm at the recent meeting of the board of education when the ques- tion of taking up collection for the Worlds fair Minnehaha statute, at the request of Mrs. l.. P. Hunt, was under consideration. The proposition is to per init each pupil in the public schools to donate any sum not to exceed 10 cents each for the purpose, and at the conclu- sion of the exposition the statue so pur- chased shall become the permanent prop erty of the schools of St. Paul.
 "A great many" was the prompt re- ply offered by Superintendent Gilbert. II assure you, doctor, that have heard school children recite pages of 'Hia- watha. '"--St. Paul Globe.

rreahi.h Action. of B spring.

The greatest curiosity in West Vire ginia and one of the most wonderful freaks known in the south is spring at Northfield-that is, it is located at North field during two months of the year and at some other place during the other ten. The Virginian end of this wonder is en- gagged in active business during the two hottest months of tho year from July to Aug 3i-its basin being as dry as the proverbial chip the remainder of the year This phenomenal fountain Is no toy water jet; neither is it 'seep" or "spouty place" On the contrary. it is gusher.
 The ten months silence and two months activity of this virginian oddity is not the only phenomenon it presents. Itworlss on the intermission plan, spout. ing n column of water of huge dimen- sions for fifteen minutes, then relapsinE into state of inactivity for the same length of time. The going and coming of the water arc preceded by a strange roaring sound not unlike that of a hoavy train passing over trestle. The size of the stream does not seem to diminish from year to year, being always suffici- ently large to turn an ordinary fywheel. St. Louis Republic.

To Clean Diam onds.

To clean pearls properly requires some care and considerable patience, but to clean diamonds properly does not re- quire as much. Many who endeavor to clean the diamonds without taking them to lapidary find when they are through that their effort has not been a success and that the diamonds are, though pos sibly cleaner. yet even less brilliant than before. They may be thoroughly cleaned and the original brilliancy retained in the following manner: Take a cup of warm water with few drops of am monia in it; use a little soap with soft brush (an old toothbrush will dol and clean thoroughly; after cleaning rinse in clean hot water and dry them. If con venient it will be more satisfactory to drop them into little jewellers sawdust after rinsing and permit them to dry in that way, whereupon they will be found to possess all their original brilliancy This method also cleans the gold setting, which of course does not lessen its mer- tts.-St. Louis Globe-Demoorat.
