NIGHT.
b the still and sweet of the night,
Oh, the Weakening out Of dreams,

b the still and sweet Of the night,
Oh, the Weakening out Of dreams
Ere ever a line Of light
Through the gate OF the morning streamsl
With never a roof above
h the sweep Of our joyance mars,
Only the sky and the love
OF the brotherly infinite starsl
In the still and sweet of the night,
Oh, the voicing of wondrous things
From the Druid frs on the height
And the lips Of the lowland spring;
From the sibylline tongues that tell
The truths that the ages teach,
Loosed from the days deep spell
Into soft, articulate speechl
In the still and sweet Of the night,
Oh, tho sense Of soul release
From the passions and pains that blight
In the dewy balms Of peacei
7 brooding rapture Of rest
Free from the fret and feud,
Close to the earth's warm breast
In her loving mother mood.

coMMuNlcABILITY OF CANCER.

1ts Possibility Not Proved Conclusion.
Reached by q Medical Writer.
An interesting article IN the alleged
oommunicability of cancer of malignant
growth appears in The Medical Record.
1t says, in part:
From the time that the mal1gnancy of
cancer was recognized, the question Of
communicability has borne the brunt of
the most earnest investigation, and tho
hope Of its solution has stimulated the
most ingenious experimentation Of earnest
Investigators. The results Of all such
studies have been entirely negative. There
are no proofs Of which we have any knowl-
edge that cancer has ever been directly or
indirectly %propagated from one human be-
ing to another. 1t is true that there Is
published an occasional case In which
there would appear on superficial ezami-
nation to be a direct relation between
cause and effect, but when such are crit.
ically examined the theory Of propagation
vanishes III face of a conscientiously crit
ioal analysis. AT best they are coincidental
circumstances following the general law
Of accidents. Experiments in the lower
animals have thus far amounted to moth
ing, and practically we are as much in the
N0Ih 4OSoA\AhS JIG VI lO OC4O4oGy VI IS
and it's real methods of dissemination as
ever.
Tho Investigations in these directions
have been exceedingly interesting, al
though mostly instructive from a negative
view.
A person predisposed to any disease is
always an easy victim when any definite,
exciting cause presents itself, while one
without such tendencies escapes every
time.
The writer concludes by saying that the
death of a physician of this city from sup
posed incubation of cancer was undoubt.

Dried Fruits.

1t is said that the reason why dried
fruits, and especially California dried
fruits, fail to give the satisfaction that
they should to the economical housewife is
because they are not soaked in water long
enough before cooking to restore the water
extracted from them by the drying process.
As it requires considerable time to dry
fruits properly, it cannot be expected that
four Or five hours will be sufficient for
cooking them as well rs for the prelimi-
nary process Of soaking. The rules for cook
ing such fruits ent out by the San Jose
board of trade say that the fruits must be
soaked in as much cold water as they will
absorb from "a to 36 hours. A pound of
fruit Is then swelled to three or four times
that quantity, and Is to be silnmered in
the water in which it was soaked until
tender. 1t should be Kept closely covered
while cooking, INT also after removing
from the fire until cold. The sugar should
be added 4 few minutes before the fruit is
taken from the fire and allowed to boil up
once. Though a certain quantity of sugar
Is given for each fruit, it should, we think,
depend on the taste Of the family where it
is cooked, as some persons like tart and
others very sweet fruit.-New York Post

EUGENE LOST HER WAGER.

Boxed the Ears of q Royal Guard. but He
Did Not Move.
Nothing could be more magnificent than
the appearance of everything appertaining
to the court on all public occasions. The
balls, especially in the various splendid
rooms, particularly in the immense "Salle
des Marechaux," were a sight not to be
forgotten, from the frl1 entrance and as
cent by the great staircase, adorned with
flowers and shrubs, where on each step
stood two of the "cent-gardes' (the en-
peror's bodyguard) as motionless as stat
ues. Nothing was moro remarkable than
the drill which enabled these men, on all
occasions when on duty at the palace, to
remain without moving q muscle. The
fatigue of this i%mnobility is said to be so
great that it could not be endured beyond
q certain time, but it was so complete that
to come suddenly on ono Of these guards
In the palace WAS positively startling. 1t
was scarcely possible to believe that they
were alive. They were all remarkably fine
men, suboficers chosen out Of various re:yi-
ments, Il whom tho war calnc they proved
that they were not merely parade soldiers,
for they figured among the best and BRAY
est troops.
One day the li.:lc prince, when a young
child, in tho hope Of making the sentinel
move, poured Ii whole bag Of sweets into
his boot, but without cliciting any sign of
life from tho military statue before him:
This play of t!!c,child lUing mentioned in
the presence OF Colonel Verify, who COM
mandcd the regiment, he declared that
nothing could make ono of his mon move
when on duty. Tic empress would not
believe this assertion and finally laid u
wager that sllo would contrivo to make
one Of the guards move. Colonel Verify
having accepted tho wager, the empress
went with him into the neighboring gal
lery, where they walked backward and
forward before tho sentinel, the empress
trying by every means to attract his atten-
ton. The guard stood rs if turned into
stone. Colonel Verify smiled. The en-
press, with her characteristic impetuosity,
then went straight up to the soldier, and,
according to familiar speech, "boxed his
ears" Not q muscle moved. Tho empress
then acknowledged that Colonel Verify had
won tho day and sent a handsome com-
p%ensation to the soldier, who proudly re-
fused it, saying that he was sufficiently
compensated by having had his sovereign
lady's hand on his cheek!-''Life In the

A Woman's Bargain.

"It takes a woman to whittle expendi-
lures down to a fine point and figure out q
bargain" remarked q booky man to a
writer recently. IT was looking at some
new books In one of the shops last Mon
day, and just behind mo was stacked over
1000 popular novels, put up to sell cheap.
Each tier was plaoarded Three cents each,
four for a dime, and the tiers reached to
the ceiling.
1.-TWO ladies were looking at the books,
both we'll gowned and rather above the
average in appearance. They were evil
IDENTIFY strangers, for I heard one say to the
other, Are you going to take a book,
madam Why, yes, I thought I would
was the surprised reply. i want some
thing to read on the cars. I think l will
enjoy %rereading "David Coppertield, y SO l
have selected that. Have you got 2
centsP' was the next question. IL think
so, was the rather slow response, the tone
Of surprise deepened. Just let me have
it, said the other as I turned around to
see if there wasn't some kind of fimflan
game going on. Here, to the clerk she
had beckoned, do"David Copperfold' up
In n package and these three in another,
and here's your 10 cents. Hurry This
lady has to catch her train!'
"The girl was back in a jiffy, and before
any of us could figure it out the lady had
showed David Copperfeld' in the hands
Of the traveller and taken possession Of her
own three books. There, she said, With
q satisfied smile, you get your book for 2
cents and l get my three for 8 cents. You
have saved a penny and SO have I. Save
the pennies and the pounds will take care
Of themselves And she went off laugh
ing. I'll bet it would have taken a man a
week to figure that out, and l ali not
quito sure that l have IL right yeti

A TURKISH FIRE BRIGADE.
xts distinguishing Apparatus Is Generally
Of but Little Avail.

VI Extinguishins Apparatus Is Generally
of but Little Avail.
A Turkish fire engine consists simply Of
. hand pump, supported on two long
poles, and carried on the shoulders of four
Of the f1remen. The latter make a great
show of haste. They run at a brisk trot,
and keep shouting and yelling all the way,
pushing rudely aside all wayfarers who
are unlucky enough to get In their line Of
march. But, in truth, Turks are seldom in
q hurry. It may be that their speed on set
ting out Is stimulated more by the expec-
tation Of being able to levy "backsheesh,"
II they are early on the scene, than by any
ardent desire to quenoh fire. The clothing
they wear is white, and their lower limbs
and feet are bare, consequently their prog
ress is noiseless but for the yells they emit
as they push along.
There is q high tower In STEAMBOAT and
another on the other side of the Golden
Horn at Galata, both Of which display
flags on the alarm Of fire. The flags are
supposed to indicate the locality of the
fire, but as several localities are sometimes
enlivened by fires about the same time,
these indications cannot always be very
explicit. If fires break out during the
night, tho bekjies (night %watohmen) take
up the cry, and bawl out with d~isoordant
information where the fire is supposed to
be-.
When that formidable. company of fire
men with the hand pump arrives on the
scene of confagraticn, the baohi first Of
all calls at the contiguous houses, as yet
untouched by fro, and endeavors to extort
backsheesh for the exertions his men arc
about to make to save property. And woe
betide those who admit these rasoals. For
the furniture is dragged out into the
street, and If tho household goods are not
plundered there, they are probably de-
stroyed beyond recovery. The writer has
been told thai ho%useholders generally pre-
fer to bolt their iron doors and shut their
iron shutters rather than give access to
those plundering rufians. Their extin-
gushing apparatus is generally Of little
avail. Arthur Grey in Cassier's Maya

look For Youl Natal Month and Sec
Yourself as Others See You.
An English authority is responsible for
the assertion that d mans destiny depends
upon the month of his birth.
A man born iii January will be a hard
worker, a lover Of good wine, a fine singer,
a manager Of great enterprises. A woman
born in that month will be affable; will
have domestic tastes, ana will be capable
Of great endurance.
Thu man born in February will love
money much, but women more. He will
be stingy at home, but prodigal abroad.
The woman will be an affectionate wife
and q good mother.
The mar born in March will be hand
some, honest and prudent. Yet he will die
poor. The woman will be tall and stout
and witty.
The man-born in April will not neces-
sarily be a fool even if his birthday is tho
day next after March 81. The woman will
be a ohatterbox and will have advanced
ideas. She will be a leading member of
the shrieking sisterhood.
The man born in May will be amiable
and will mako his life partner happy.
The woman will equal him in amiability
and the other above named desirable quail
ity.
The man born in June will be of small
stature and very fond of women and chill
dren. The woman will be Tightly and a
high liver, but will repent and sober down
at 40.
The man born in July will be of mill
tary tastes, a trife pompous, but a good
fellow withal. The oma will havo u
sulky temper; she will pout and be hand
some.
The man born in August will be ambi-
tious and courageous. The woman will
be what Americans call capable. She will
be equal to running a farm or editing a
newspaper.
The man born in September will be
strong and wise. He will make few mis-
takes and live and die rich. The woman
will be loved by her friends; have many
suitors and die an old maid.
The man born in October will write
poetry when young. Then he will dabble
In politics and wind up as a reformer. The
woman will be pretty nj late in life an
apostle of total abstinence.
The man born in November will have a
fine face, great address, and if not careful
he will be q gay Lothario. Tho woman will
be large, liberal minded and fond of novel
ty and novels.
The man born in December will have 4
passionate temper, yet will be the first to
forgive. The woman will be a Lady Boun-
tiful to the deserving poor, but IL terror
to tramps and the willfully unemployed.
