WORRY AND INDIGESTION.

Worry is a baneful curse and source of un-
told evils. It seams the face with lines and
burrows and has a most depressing effect
upon that hyper-sensitlve organ, the stom-
ach, which at such times becomes most
unwilling and laggard servant. Indeed, it
is safe to say that unless encouraged by
cheerful temper and bright, or, at least,
hopeful thoughts the stomach will play
truant or sulk and do no work which it can
shirk. The physiological explanation of this
is the close alliance of the great sympathetic
nerves. which are worse than the telegraph
for carrying bad news; the worry and anx-
iety which depress the brain produce stimuli
taneously semi-paralysis of the nerves of
the stomach, gastric juices will not flow, and
-prestol there is indigestion. One sign of
mental health is serenity Of temper, and
self-control that enables us to bear with
equanimity and unruff1ed temper the petty
trials and jars of life, especially those aris-
ing from contact with scolding, irascible,
irritating folk. 1t is we'll to remember at
such times that these unfortunates are their
own worst enemies and a cultivation of the
art of not hearing will help us very much.
1t is a very useful art all through life and
well worth some trouble to acquire. DEM

FLOWER OF THE GODS.
The Laundryman VIII Not Sell the
Chinese Sacr ed Lily.

The Laundryman VIII Not Sell the
Chinese Sacred Lily.
A Brooklyn man who is very fond of
flowers relates the following experience
81 was informed that the best places to get
the Chinese sacred lily was at the Chinese
laundries. Noticing a number of plants
growing vigorously in dishes of pebbles and
water displayed in the window of one of
those establishments, dropped in, and sup
posing of course that they were for sale, in
quired the price. The native of the Flowery
Kingdom who first heard my inquiry,
pointed to printed list of prices hung upon
the wall looked at this, and
found that it referred only to washee
washee ] told the man that /
wanted so know the price of the lilies, but
he shook his head, and at that juncture an
other Chinaman emerged from the back
room who said:-"We no sell leele'; and 80
expressed my admiration on the beautiful
plant and passed on. In a few days passed
the same laundry again, and all the lilies
were in flower, and they presented most
beautiful show. The flower is not very beau
tiful in itself, but so many in bloom at one
time certainly made a beautiful picture,
while the odor was delightful"
The Chinese call this flower the Flower of
the Gods, which, of course. Is a very high
sounding name for SO modest a plant. 1t
grows rapidly and is much sought after for a
house plant. Brooklyn Standard Union.

BOYS AND A BOMB.
Startling Episode on Williamsburg
Sand Lots This Morning.

Sand Lots This Morning.
NEW YORK, March 10, 1s94.-The police
of Williamsburg, Brooklyn think they have
found that Anarchists use the sand lots Of
that suburb as repository for bombs
About three months ago half dozen
strange looking bombs were found in the lots,
but the police were unable to find the
makers of them. The district abounds in
Anarchistic societies and is the new home of
Johann Most.
The activity of the police was renewed
early this morning by the finding of more
bombs by number of boys, and the maim-
ing for life of one of them by the explosion
of a bomb. The police have tin box con-
tanning five of the bombs, which they are
carefully guarding.
At seven O'Clock Nicholas Hoffman, thir-
teen years old, was playing on the sand lots
with two other boys Charles and Frank
Oberly of No. 26S Trautman street, when
they turned up the sand and found box
containing the bombs. Young Hoffman
picked up one of the bombs and said he was
about to hurl it against bowlder. The other
boys turned and ran away.
They had run about 100 feet when Hoff-
man hurled the bomb. The result was dis
astrous The Oberly boys say they felt as
though the earth had opened under them,
and when they turned Hoffman was lying
on the ground screaming at uhe top OF MS
voice. All the skin of his face and hands
was peeled off and he had several lacera-
tions of the body and limbs.
A crowd soon gathered, and the wounded
boy was taken home. He is lowering be-
tween life and death, and the whole neigh
borhood is talking of the bombs, and the
men are threatening vengeance against the
first Anarchist they meet. ~
Captain Kitzer and several policemen are
trying to find an owner for the bomb.
Hereafter the sand lots, which are used as
will be searched for bombs every day.

REsOUERs LOST THEIR LIVES.
Heroic Attempt to Save Their Fellow
WOrkmen.

KINGSTON, N. Y, March 10, 1894. Thomas
Dunleavy and Edgar Van Gaasbeck, through
heroic attempt to save the lives of fellow
workmen lost their lives at Hickory Bush, a
few miles from this city late yesterday after
noon. A Lawrence Cement Company's kiln
was lighted on Wednesday, and cement rock
had been dumped on the burning coal. Patrick
Burke, injudiciously went down about
eleven feet into the kiln to level off the stone
through which the coal gas was percolating
and he had hardly got into the kiln when he
was overcome. W. A. Vandemark, en-
gineer of the holster at the top Of the kiln,
saw Burke fall and with rope he climbed
down ladder into the kiln to assist Burke.
After tying the rope around Burke, Engin-
eer Vandemark was also overcome, and Henry
Pinn, Thos Dunleavy, Edward and Edgar Van
Gaasbeck, who were at the top of the kiln,
went into the kiln and attempted to rescue
their fellow-workmen. The coal gas was
dense and the men worked heroically, and
Burke and Vandemark were gotten out
safely. Dunleavy and Van Gaasbeck, how
ever, were not so fortunate in getting out,
for before they could reach the top of the
ladder they fell back dead. Henry Pin was
carried by willing hands out into the air and
to his home, where he now is, and it is
thought he will die Dunleavy and Van
Gaasbeck are unmarried

Postmaster Samuel D. Dickinson last night
cast bombshell into the meeting of the Re
publican County Committee, which was fol-
lowed by explosions of wrath from several
ambitious young politicians. He offered a
resolution to abolish the Office of District
Leader
The sagacious Postmaster, ex-Judge Sey-
mour, John Brennan and other leaders in the
party have for a long time greatly deplored
the political strife that exists in the Eighth dis
trict. For long time there has been con-
tinual warfare between what is known in
that district as the McEwan and Doscher fac
tions. Last spring the fight was q bitter one,
but Doscher came out ahead and was elected
Freeholder To overcome this defeat Nc
Evan and his friends worked like beavers,
and as result defeated Doscher and his fol-
lowers by sending McEwan to the Assembly.
Quickly following up this victory, McEwan
caused himself to be elected by the District
Association, the District Leader, and he was
also elected First Vice President of the
County Committee. BY virtue Of holding
this last office, Mr.. McEwan became also ex-
officio member of tie Executive Commit

ENGLAND'S PETTY WARS.
Party of Twenty-Seven British Sol
diers Butchered at Bordak.

BIZ Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, March 10, 1S94.-The India Office
has received a despatch from the Earl of
Elgin, Viceroy and Governor General of
India, confirming the reports of disaster to
the British column in the Abor territory,
under the command of Captain Max
we'll The despatch says that on February
81, large party of tribesmen made an attack
upon .detachment of Captain MaxwelPs
guards composed of native troops and
British officers, at Bordak. The attack was
almost a complete surprise and the ensuing
fight was brief and one sided. The guards
fought under cover as long as possible, but
they were soon surrounded by the Abors,
who outnumbered them five to one and
twenty-seven of the British party were virtu-
ally butchered.
The lines of communication with the
British column have been broken, but it is
known that party of eighty men of Cap
tain MaxwelPs command are besieged in
the stockade at Membo by an almost over
whelming force of tribesmen. A detachment
of two hundred and thirty men has been
sent to the relief of the beleaguered party,
but as yet no information has
been received that the relief party has
reached its destination. 1t is believed that
this party will have some hard fighting to
do on its own account before its arrival at
Membo. Three hundred additional native
troops have been summoned into active SER
vice, and these will be Immediately sent to
the assistance of the Membo relief detach-
ment.

MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SUICIDE.
Stranger Thought to Have Jumped
Overheard From q New York Pier.

NEW YORK, March 10, 1s94.-George
Brew, a night watchman employed on the
French Line Pier at the foot of Morton
street reported to the Police of the Steam
boat Squad mysterious case of suicide.
He stated that at four o'clock this morning a
man about thirty five years old, walked hur-
riedly past him and entered closet at the
end of the pier, which is generally
used by sailors and steerage passengers The
man did not come out again, so Brew says,
he entered the closet to see what had be-
come of him, but found no trace of him. The
watchman is, accordingly, positive that the
man committed suicide by dropping through
the closet into the river The watch
man noticed=--that the stranger was
dressed in dark clothing and wore an
overcoat, but took no notice of his personal
appearance, except that he limped somewhat
and carried cane. He also had on slouch
hat which partially concealed his features.
At the time the man is supposed to have COM
mitted suicide the dock was thronged with
people. as the La Gascogne was preparing to
sail. There was strong ebb tide at the
time and it is thought that the current car
ried off the body
