Quite a swell young Detroiter who
had made a trip into the remote sec
tons of the south was telling his ex-

The Late Emily Dickinson.

Emily Dickinson, the Amherst poet,
was a woman Of few friendships. The
few with who she was intimate seldom
saw her. for when they called she in
variably insisted upon their being
seated in the hall while she conversed
with them from over the balustrade in
the upper hall. It was her custom to
correspond by writing with Theses
friends. and her letters were marvels OF
poetic expression.
Emily Dickinson wore white at all
times Of the year. In pleasant weather
she used to go walking in the garden
and in the spacious grounds around her
fathers residence, and her companion
out of doors was a large Newfoundland
dog named Carlo. Mrs. Luther w.
Bodman of this city recalls the time
when, as a little girl, she went walking
with Miss Dickinson while the huge
dog stalked solemnly beside them.
Oracle" said Miss Dickinson, sud
denly addressing her child friend, do
you know that I believe that the first
to welcome and greet me when l go TO
heaven will be this dear faithful old
friend Carlo?'
1t is said that Miss Dickinson's eccen-
tricities resulted largely from disap-
pointment in love. While she was still
a girl she became deeply interested in
a young man who was pursuing his
studies in Amhurst college. Mr.. Ed
ward Dickinson, Miss Emilys father,
disapprOved OF the intimacy. which gave
promise of ending in marriage, and at
last, being a somewhat violent man, he
peremptorily forbade the young man
the house. 1t is said at that time Miss
Emily told her father that, as he had
closed the doors upon her friend, so he
had closed the doors upon her, and
from that day she has seldom left the
hOuse-and, for that matter so seldom
left her roOm-that she was over eighty
years practically as much recluse as
any nun doing penance.-Chicago News

CANNING AND PRESERVING.
The American HOusekeeper's Popular
Methods of Preserving Fruit.

Canning appears to be a most simple pro-
cess. Nevertheless to be successfully done
certain points must be observed, and these
are stated with unusual clearness as fol-
lows In a little manual on Canning and
Preserving issued by the Rural publish
ing company:
''The utensils necessary for canning and
preserving are a porcelain kettle, a wooden
spoon and a can filler, all of which should
be kept exclusively for this purpose. The
kettle should DO large and never hlled more
than one-tkird full Of fruit This allows Of
more rapid evaporation and causes the
fruit to petain its color and flavor.

A wonderful LittIe BOY.

There is a fOur-year-old boy at CadiZ,

nor has ne ever learned to read. Still,
he can name and point out on the map
all the countries and states, giving their
capitals, their situation, roads, rivers,
straits, lakes, mountains and other geo
graphical points. In fact he has the
worlds atlas firmly impressed on his
wonderful mind His knowledge is thor

Cnre of ChtIdren.. Ears.

In her anxiety that her children's ears
shall be thoroughly clean the mother en-
deavors to remove every particle OF ear
wax from the inner portion of the ear
by boring II out with a hairpin or other
sharp instrument covered with a towel
or with the corner of a towel twisted to
a point. Nature knows how to take care
of those hidden recesses far better than
does the most accomplished mother. This
portion of the ear requires no attention.
Nature takes care of 1t In the most ad-

In recent publication made under the
auspices of the State of Virginia and edit
ed by q learned and impartial writer. a full
account is given of the capture of Stony
Point, stating with much care the name
OF the State and number of regiment
to which each detachment belonged,
and giving also short blographi-
cal sketch of each of the officers, except
that it Is not mentioned from what State
came the two centre companies who were
probably the most exposed in that memo
rable assault and the name OF their leader
is given as Major Murfey. Instead of O
biographical sketch of him, as is
given of the other officers, note says
that it has been impossible 20 locate him,
and there was Major Murphy on the roll
from New York, and that il is said that at
one time there had been Major Murphy
In Daniel Morgan's (Virginia) Regiment.
Those two centre companies of the
storming party were North CarolinIans.
Ono of their captains was John Dawes,
grandfather of Professor Edward Graham
Dawes, OF Baltimore. of Major Graham
Dawes, of Newberne. and of the wife of the
late Governor Ellis. The leader of
the. Spartan band was Major Hardy
Murfree. Mwho distinguished himself
lieutenant-c colonel. Two towns. Murfrees-

Miss Murfree. better known by her non, de

Medical RAcord.l

The two physicians who attended Mr..
John w. Mackay, the California Million
aire. In hts recent illness. have sent in bills
of $1,000 and $500 respectively. Mr..
Mackay refuses TO pay them on the
ground that the sums charged are
exorbiiant We do not know the
amount of service rendered. but if tho
rates exceeded the maximum fees, aud
if an extra sum was added, as IS
alleged. because Mr.. Mackay is multiple
millionaire. our. sympathies are with him.
A physician has no more right to treble his
fees because a man IS rich than has q
tradesman to treble the price for his wares.
There are circumstances, however. when
the service rendered Is SO directly saving
of life and suffering. and where the at
tendance involves SO much RESPONSE
bility, both for the life OF the patient and
the reputation OF the surgeon. that it Is

How the Intrepid Coiouists First Met with

Having landed upon the shores of the
New World, the intrepid colonists pro-
ceeded at once TO turn the stubborn gleoe
and take other steps looking to the estab-
lishment of permanent residence, says
the Detroit Tribune.
And the rain descended and the sun
shone hotly. and the colonists reaped q
great harvest of experience and other
necessities of life in the wilderness.
To the little village there came one day
denizen of the forest. was the first
denizen that had called, and he naturally
created O sensation.
The red man looked panied when he
perceived the evidences of industry be-
fore him.
How" he said.
Just watch us and you'll see." reJoined
several of the settlers.
Then the colonists with their posterlty
proceeded to wipe the aborgines from the
face of the earth approximately.
Thus 1t comes to pass that the red
man of to-day does not say how He
knows from experience without asking.
