not learn to ride a bicycle.
She was put under a scientific course Of

sPECULIAR people, SACRIFICE
THEM TO SUPERSTITION.
United Kingdom Aroused over the
Deaths of Children Unattended
by observation-disclosures Held for
Mnnslaughter.
az Anglo.Amerlean Press.l

LONDON. oct. 14.-Town and county
authorities all over the United King
dom are exercised over the doings Of
the Peculiar People" sect of faith
eurists. Many scandals have arisen re-
Gently over the deaths Of children
whose parents, being members of this
denomination. dispensed with medical
attendance. Physicians in several in
stances have sworn that the lives OF
the children could have been saved by
proper treatment. whereupon the par
ents of the little ones have invariably
been arrested for manslaughter.
At a recent coroner's inquest at West
Ham the mother admitted that a doctor
had not been summoned to attend the
child, but said the elders of the church
were appealed to and that they sought
TO cure the suffering infant by laying
ON of hands. This same woman con-
fessed that she had lost five other chill
dren, none of whom had been attended
by physician.
Public feeling is growing against
these practices and a general demand
has been made for the discipline OF the
sect by the medical authorities. The
general sentiment is that the faith cur
Ists may try mind healing on them
selves II they choose, but that they
must not be allowed to sacrifice the
lives of their innocent children.

Grants Lesson to a Sentry.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam paigning with Grant" in Century. re- lates an anecdote telling how General Grant aided drover in turning his cat tie. General Porter adds: He knew, of course, that the man did not recognize him. If he had supposed the man was lacking in proper military respect, he would perhaps have administered to him the same lesson which he once taught 8 soldier in the Twenty first Illinois, when he commanded that regiment. An officer who had served under him at the time told me that Colonel Grant as he came out of his tent one morning, found a strapping big fellow posted as sentinel, who nodded his head good naturedly, smiled blandly and said, "Howdy, colo nelv His commander cried, "Hand me your piece,;' and upon taking it faced the soldier and came to 'present arms" Then handing back the m usket he remarked, "That is the way to say How do you do' to your colonel''

BEECHER'S ABOLlTIONISM.

 Against His Church.
 Mrs. Henry Ward Beecber. in graph ic, reminiscent article entitled "When MT Beecher Sold Slaves In Plymouth Pulpit" in The Ladies' Home Journal, tells of the peril in which the famous advocacy of the abolition of slavery. ''In 1847 MT. Beecher became the pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, and in his inaugural sermon" she says, "he frank ly stated the position that he intended to hold in opposition to human slavery. The majority of the church members agreed with him, but the majority of the people of New York and Brooklyn were southern sympathizers. Of the re- alities of slavery they knew nothing. They regarded it sentimentally as pa triarchal institution that had come down from Biblical times and that gave the southern people ample leisure to develop into charming ladies and eloquent poli- ticians.
 "Mr. Beecher emAse to open the eyes and arouse the consciences of these sen- timentalists, and he encountered as bit 
 faced in Cincinnati. He was abused as 8 negro worshiper, he was threatened with personal violence, 8 mob was formed in New York to tear down the church in which he preached. have known him, in response to my entreat- ies to be careful, to walk in the middle of the streets of Brooklyn, with his hand on the revolver in his pocket, lest he should be suddenly attacked. Letters announcing the dispatch of internal ma chimes to OUT house were often received in fact, they averaged one or two per week.
 "I remember that one day an immense box came by express after the receipt of such letter. was afraid to open it and equally afraid that Mir.

BirminghAmss Parks.

One feature rather surprising to an American is that every park is made for use. There is no fear lest the grass may be injured, but in every ground adapted for them are cricket and foot ball fields, picnic grounds, croquet lawns, tennis courts, bowling greens, the use of W bich is permitted for mere iy nominal payment. Every park, large or small, has one or more concerts each week during the summer. paid for by 8 neighporhood subscription. Less need exists for large parks than in American cities of the same size, because the bet ter class of houses all have ample gar dens. George F. Parker in Century.

She would never see the sun rise again, never watch the dawn flushing over that low belt of frs that marked the verge of the meadow. And her pic- tures the tentative studies of which had constituted her keenest pleasure, they would never be painted. No one but herself would ever know how the sun looked when it sank over a hill field green with the first green of spring, while far distant along the horizon the trees were bare in exquisite traoery against sky of palest violet.
 An, the days, the days! She would be "poor Grace. Her cousins would surround her with their cheerful conso- latory pity. their quiet, practical &C., ceptance of an extra care. She would never be free again.
