Put in a Safe Place.

1t fell to the lot of a young man in
this town to attend q funeral the 9th
er day. He did not know any of the
members of the afflicted family, but
it was his business to be at that flu

which were held in the family resi-
dence, were fairly under way when
the young man arrived, and much

Nothing Lost.

"'They take tremendous precau-
tons at the mint SO that no specie
shall be lost, " said Jones, with a rem
iniscence of an article he had been
reading on the subject. Every scrap
of refuse is burned in order that not
the slightest vestige of metal shall
be wasted. The working clothes of
the men are burned, too, when they
are worn out, and they even burn
the carts which are used in carrying
the bullion to the mint.
WELL" said the American in the
corner, contemplating his cigar, II
guess we go one better than that in
our immortal country. We burn the
refuse, and the clothes, and the carts.
Yes, sir, we do all that, and, what is
more, when a man dies who has
worked there we have him cremat-

Scene in a Eussian Church.

A miracle workingpicture of the
virgin lady of Smof6nsk attracted
much attention, and many kisses
were lavished on the glass which
protected it. While we were exam
lining with some interest this highly
venerated work of art a woman
dressed like peasant approached us
carrying a basket covered with a
white cloth. From this basket she
produced small phial containing an
oily looking liquid, which she Of
fered for sale. 1t had been specially
blessed, she said, by coming in CON
tact with the miracle working vir-
gin, and was warranted to cure all
manner of diseases.
Strongly she pressed it's virtues up
on us, saying, Although you are
Germans and foreigners and dumb
to what is going on, you ought to
make some sacrifice for the Mother
of God" AS we still declined to
make the purchase, she opened the
cork, put some Of the oil on the tip
of her finger and was about to pro
coed to anoint us. However, at this
point we slipped through the crowd
and escaped her further attentions

The Grand Climncteric-

Mans life is popularity divided into
seven ages, and formerly it was sup
posed that seven and nine were
capable of exerting much subtle in
iuence over men, the product of
these two numbers being particularly
powerful in this respect.
Thus sixty-three years was called
the grand chmacteric, and that age
was considered a very important
crisis In mans life. Women, on
the other hand, were supposed to be
more susceptible to the influence of

which was about q league farther, in
order to show some donkeys. These
three men had large figures, and to
see them mounted on their donkeys,
which they had ornamented with
false ears, appealed to the magma
ton of Francois. He began one day
to represent this grotesque little
cavalcade, and did it successfully. A
short time after he had finished it
the blacksmith of the neighboring
village, who had seen the drawing,
asked, and was allowed, to take it
for few days, and he put it in a
conspicuous place in his shop, that
the men with the donkeys who came
often to his place, might see it. At
their next visit the first object
they spied was this picture, and they
at once recognized the party. The
father Immediately asked who in this
place had enough talent to make
such things. He was told it was the
little Millet. Millet in Cen

A Cruel Mistake.

The cruelest case of blight that
ever heard was that of Florina
Smith. An officer of militia had
long been the object of her youthful
dreams, and she looked in vain for
the moment when he should declare
the passion which she was convinced
burned within him. The moment
came at last; the volcano burst into
flame. One morning she received a
letter beginning, my dear Miss
Smith" and couched in unmistak
able language.
1t was brought by boy who wait
ed for an answer. She selected the
neatest sheet of pink paper, poured
forth modest yet delighted assent
and gave it to the messenger with
her own hand. Then she awaited the
lieutenant. She waited that day and
the next. He came not. She refused
exercise and remained at home a
third day. He came not. A week
passed. He came not. A fortnight
and he came not. AT last she ven
tured to write and she received an
answer:
My DEAR Miss SMITH-It is all the fault O!
that boy He took the letter to the wrong
house. Deeply as regard and respect you,
must not conceal from you that my letter was
intended for the daughter of Colonel Smith,
and arr sure that you, who in your note as
sured me that my happiness was your souls
desire, will be glad 10 hear that it Is at last
secured. am, yours very sincerely, -

RULES OF A LONDON HOSPITAL.
a Hospital Where Patients with Infections
Diseases Receive Visitors


Hospital Where Patients with Infectious
Diseases Receive Visitors.
The Southwestern Fever hospital
III London is conducted, as all such
hospitals ought to be- with the two
fold purpose of preventing the spread
OF infectious disease and at the same
time treating the patient with every
possible consideration. If the inno-
cent sufferer must be removed from
home for the safety of the public he
may properly expect competent nurs-
ing, suitable food and comfortable
lodging.
No such hospital should be con-
nected, by even so much as proximity,
with a workhouse or penitentiary, as
is sometimes the case.
In this hospital, surprising as it
may seem, patients suffering from
scarlet fever, diphtheria and typhoid
fever are allowed to see visitors.
Certain precautions must be observed
of course, and it is worth while to
quote these almost verbatim, as the
Winding of them in case of such dis
eases occurring in private homes
would doubtless go far to prevent
contagion.
Visitors must be more than twenty
one years old. They must not be adj
mitted if in weak state of health
or IN an exhausted condition. They
should have eaten a good meal shortly
before entering. They are require"
to avoid touching the patient or ex
posing themselves to the emanations
from his skin. On no account must
they sit on the bed, but may occupy
chair at some little distance from
the patient.
They are required to wear wraps
provided by the hospital authorities
covering their garments while in
the wards, and before leaving the
hospital must wash their hands and
faces with carbolic soap and water,
or use such other means of disinfec-
ton as may be prescribed by the
medical superintendent. They are
strongly urged not to enter any omni-
bus, street car or other public con-
veyance Immediately after leaving
the hospital.
Visitors are excluded from the
smallpox wards.
1t is a satisfaction to be assured
that with these precautions no harm
has ever been known to result from
visits to patients.
| The regulations of the hospital lay
great stress upon the thorough venti-
lation of the outside clothing of Wis
itors, and upon scrupulous personal
cleanliness on their part.-London

THE MISSING HEKLA.
SHE WAS NOT SIGHTED BY THE
VEEDAM, As STATED.
She Has ON Board SO Cabin and GIL
steerage Passengers Normandie
Refused to Tow Her In.

NEW YORK, April S-The steamship
sighted April 4 by the Veedam, which ar
rive1 Thursday, was not the disabled
Thingvallia liner Hekla, as was at first
reported The grave anxiety for the safety
OF the Hekla had been greatly relieved by
the news brought in by the Veedam, but
IL now transpires that the vessel sighted
was a dutch tank steamer.
An examination of the log of the French
liner La Normandie, which was the first
vessel 10 bring in the news that the Hekla
had broken down at sea, revealed the fact
that the Hekla's commander had asked
assistance of the French steamship March
%, but while the French liner offered TO
take the Hekla's passengers, which offer
was declined, she refused TO tow the Hekla
to New York. La Normandie then got
under way, and an hour later the Hekla's
lights were twinkling far astern.
Agent Forget, Of the French line, made
this explanation: "None of our passenger
ships are allowed to extend tow TO any
vessel. This is to guard against endanger-
ing life, but had Captain Thompson so
desired, La Normandie's commander would
have stood by until al, of the Hekla's pas
sengers had been transferred"
When the Hekla left Christiansand,
March Is. she had aboard Sc cabin and Gil
steerage passengers.
