A Plague Incident,

once saw young man bear on his
shoulders the corpse of his father wrapped
in bed sheet. 1t was in suburb of New
Orleans during yellow fever epidemic.
People were dying by hundreds. At night
nothing but the rattle of the dead cart
broke the stiffness as the dismal burdens
were borne over the bleached roads toward
the ditch at the upper levee.
Unable to find aid for his sad work, the
young man bore his load alone, as Eneas
bent under the weight of his beloved An
chises-with this difference - Anchises
was alive. From time to time the lad stop
ped, overcome by fatigue. He would lay
the body tenderly down upon the burned
grass by the roadside, while he wiped the
sweat from his face and neck. Once a
man came out from shop bringing him
a mug of water. He murmured his thanks
and swallowed the liquid rapidly. Then
he shouldered his burden and went on.
He had taken but few steps when he
stumbled and fell forward When they
reached him, he was dead. His body lay
across that of his father.
At that moment the patrol passed, and
they were carted away. They probably
lie side by side in the depths of the levee
trench.-Boston Courier.

OF INTEREST no FIREMEN.

F. E. Perkins, chairman of the com
mlttee on transportation, and L. c.
Grant, treasurer of the State Fireman's
Association, went to st. Adams last
week, and met Central Vermont railroad
officials with reference to transportation
rates to the State Fireman's Tourna-
ment at Bennington, July 18th and 10th.
A rate of one cent mile each way for
firemen and bands in uniform was Sc
cured, with half fare for the general pub
lie. By request of some of the officers,
Messrs. Perkins and Grant also conferred
with the railroad people about rates to
the meeting of the National Association
of fire engineers, to be held in Montreal,
August l4th to 18th. The Canadian
Pacific and Grand Trunk railroads have
already promised half fare and it is
probable that the New England railroads
will make similar rate.

Women and Walters.

If there is one position in which the av-
erage woman does not shine with dazzling
brilliancy, it is at hotel or restaurant
dining table. At her home she may be
the most self possessed and charming Of
hostesses, but let her undertake to act in
that capacity in a restaurant and she be-
comes awkward, ill at ease and uncom
Portable. H
In the first place she generally steers
straight for the least desirable spot in the
room. After she has sunk breathlessly
into the chair nearest the steam radiator
or directly in the draft, she nervously
scans the bill of fare. If she were giving
a luncheon at her own home, she would,
of course, have ordered the daintiest repast
her Judgment dictated, without consult
ing her guests. But when she gets some
unfortunate woman opposite her at hotel
table the burden of choice is promptly
shifted to her.
When, after long and patient study and
many changes of mind, the luncheon has
been decided upon, the order is given in a
way which would excuse murder on the
walters part. (which did you say you d
have, Emma?" asks one, 'baked or French
fried sweets-oh, yes, we decided on white
potatoes au gratin after all, didn't we?
Bring us some potatoes au gratin, please, 1"
and so on, until the waiter is distracted
OF course he gets somewhat mixed, and
then he is scolded. Finally, when the re-
past is safely over and he has helped both
women into their wraps, picked up their
gloves and handkerchiefs and found theil
umbrellas, the hostess gives him nickel,
telling her friend at the same time that
he doesn't deserve it, for the service was

POST OFFICE RoBBERIEs.

Within the past three months, thirty
seven 81, postoffices have been burglar
lied in New England, and seven unsuc-
cessful attempts have been made on
other postoffices.
By these robberies the United States
has lost directly, nearly $4,000, while
the various postmasters incurred per-
sonal losses by having their safes de-
stroyed and their property damaged, for
the United States does not furnish safes
to fourth class postoffices.
At the present time there are three
distinct gangs of burglars who are re-
sponsible for majority of the postoffice
robberies in New England. One of these
gangs has its headquarters in New York
and swoops down upon Western Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut.
Gang No. 2 appears to be working in
the east half of Massachusetts; gang No.
appears to have its headquarters some
where on the Canada line, and after
making descents into Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, can get back
on English soil in short order.
Since the first Of November last, there
have been four robberies in the State,

My sufferings might have been stopped If
had only known of your CUTIcURA REMEDIES
eighteen years ago. contracted the fever and
ague, and it effected my kidneys so badly that
had to have an operation, from which resulted
blood poison, and suffered untold agonies. To
make my sufferings more, my left leg below the
knee broke out in large blood bOils, and COM
menced a scaly, itching irritation, SO that at
times was almost frantic, and would scratch
until the blood would tricl1le down my leg. In
the summer these large boils would commence,
during which time would have three or four
which were so painful that at times was forced
to take to my bed. Every winter dry itching
scay mass would gather on my leg, which with
the boils, seemed to effect my whole system.
During all this time, period of three to nine
months, 1 had doctor after doctor, but they gave
me only temporary relief. This last fall COM
menced using your CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP,
and CUTICURA REsoLvENT, and now the scales
have all gone, the itching all gone, have not
felt sick, and have worked all winter. would
not suffer again as have for the past eighteen
years for anything. / had doctors from the
west to the east, all to no purpose. have not
felt so we'll or been so long without a sick spell
since taking your remedies. Thanks to them
and to you, and the great Maker of mankind
