A terrible tale OF death aud suffering
comes from Eden Township Marshall
Co., about 80 miles north OF here. The
attention OF the peighbors of a family
named Michlich was drawn Sunday
morning by the peculiar actions OF Mrs.
Michlich near her home. She was OBJ
served staggering and falling down re-
peatedly and the neighbors hastened to
her aid. They gathered from her in
coherent manner that something was
wrong In the house and Fastening there
they were Mortified on discovering the
dead bodies of thefather Joseph Michlich
and a 5 month old child. DR.. Peabody
was summoned to attend the. mother
and Investigation showed that the
deaths were caused by a~sphyxiation
coal gas from "a kitchen stove. 1t
was evident from the condition of the
bodies that death had ensued some time
before. Nothing tangible could3be got
from Mr.. Michlich on account OF her
condition, but the latest inform
of the family was given by a
neighbor who had called Thursday
evening when baking was going on.
The house was then filled with smoke
and gas, so the supposition is that
death occurred that night. The mother
must have lain unconscious until Sun
day morning. Her feet and limbs were
badly frozen but the doctor reports her
"A a fair way OF recovery. The coroner
of Marshall Co. was notified and took
charge of the bodies.

Arbor Dav and Public Schools,

The idea of Arbor day. which is be.
ing observed in many states this
month, originated in the west, where
the absence of trees on the monoto-
nous plains was severely felt, especial
ly by those used to the wooded hills
and valleys of the east. In addition TO
beautifying the home. Arbor day has
for its object the planting Of trees,
shrubs and fllwers in school yards, par
ticularly country schools. We know
of no place where encouragement along
these lines is more needed. While
some districts have planted tress in the
school yard, the vast majority of them,
even here in the middle and eastern
states, have neglected it. Too
often barnlike structure is built upon
a lot devoid of ornamental or shade
trees CT any kind and in many cases no
attempt has been made even TO seed
the lawn to grass.
Begin this year by planting half
dozen trees in the school yard. Lay
ou a few flower beds and place them
in charge of the scholars. A few of
the most hardy shrubs, such as roses
and lilacs, are easily grown yet add
much to the attractiveness Of a school
lawn. If each pupil is made to feel
that he has a personal interest in the
good appearance of the school va I'd, the
trees will not be injured or the tender
plants destroyed, as is now contended
by some school boards. Not only
will the pupil b. benefited by the
more congenial surrounding, but the
first principles of horticulture and
plant growth can be easily taught. The
termination of the seed, the develop
ment of roots aud their uses, the un-
folding and growth of leaves, the rela-
tion of soil to plant, and value of moist
ure, can all b. studied. This know
ledge will create genuine respect for
growing plant and will be of lasting
benefit to the child, whether lie be des-
tined to live amid rural surr ouDdiDgs
or the mrre artificial. environ ments of
the city.
Every school should be irst and fore.
most in observing Albor day this
month with appropriate public exer-
cises after the planting of trees and
shrubs is Amsfican Agricultur-
iSt.

Argosy.

Twas a quaint old corner cupboard
My friend unlocked one day,
Where the choicest bits of china
Were safely laid away;
And wondered such things of beauty
Were hidden thus from sight,
Things that were surely made
For use and our delight.
But she said: "They are all too precious,
Too fragile for daily use,
Too frail for careless touches,
Too frail for the least abuse;
We can keep them here in safety,
Shut in from the dust and dirt,
Shut in from meddlesome fingers,
From aught that can harm or hurt.
" But when on some festal day
We bring out the brightest and best,
Then we carefully take them away
And place them among the rest;
And their beauty shines SO bright
1t certainly does atore
For all of the many days
They are shut in here, alone"
Then 1 thought OF the darkened rooms,
Where so many are shut away
From the pleasures and joys of earth
And the cheerful light of day.
The Master may think them too precious
For the crowded walks of life,
So He keeps them safely hidden
From its trouble and its strife.
But when at the feast above
He gathers His jewels bright, =
He'll place them, honored of all.
Where they'll shine in His glorious light:
Their names He will proudly own,
For they've grown to His heart so Gear.
Is it surely not proof Of his love,
His keeping them "shut in" here?

and he says: "It is my opinion, based
upon long intercourse with the jap
anese, that it is their ultimate aim 10
swoop down on Hawaii, capture the
island, and through force of arms set
up government of their own. 1t is
the common talk in the streets of
Japan's capital, that Japan is entitled
to plant her flag in Hawaii for the rea-
son that the japanese outnumber any
other nationality on the island" 1t
will be remembered that Congress has
explicitly declared that the U. s. would
not countenance any interference with
the government of Hawaii by any for
eign government, and many believe
that it ii that declaration alone which
has caused Japan to keep her hands of
Hawaii Up to this time.

INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD.

Sound, restful sleep, both by night
and by day, is more easily induced ii
from the first the child be taught to lie
on its stomach and face. The only
necessary precaution against suffOca-
tion is the provision of smooth fiat,
somewhat hard hair mattress without
pillow. The advantages Of this posi-
tion are many. Some one has said that
half ths diseases of infancy result from
keeping the stomach too cold, and the
other half from overheating the spine.
BY adopting the position suggested as
the uniform one during the- hour Of
sleep, the stomach and abdomen are
kept so warm as to prevent collie and
stomachache, and materially to aid the
digestive process, while the spine and
back of the head are no longer OVER
heated by the increased temperature
of the sleeping child. 1t may be coiu
cidence merely, but it is at least a sign
ificant one, that all the chlldren the
writer has known to rest habitually
face downward have been unusually
sound sleepers, and have enjoyed more
than average good health.
1t is surprising To see how early a
child will discrim mate and show pre-
| ference for the face position, and how
readily it accommodates itself 10 this
attitude. A child from eight TO
ten weeks old will read ly have learned
| to turn us head fom side To side to oil :

to draughts, Placed on its face, babe
two or three months old will not only
rest itself by frequent changes of the
position of all portions of the body,
but since it is powerless to reverse it
self,i cannot get uncovered no lapse in
to any unwholesome cramped position.
1t is quite otherwi when the infant is
lying fiat on its back. This position
not only invites indigestion, but also
causes bad dreams and night frights,
and promotes the dangerous habit of
mouth-breathing.

1t will not cure everything. Il is not
claimed that it will cure but one complaint
that is dyspepsia. We cannot say that

cure large majority of them. Such cases

mediate benefit. One small bottle will be
sufficient to test it.

The much talked about amendments
to the Dingley tariff bill, which West
ern Senators have asked for, turn out
to be very different from the predic-
tions made by those who have been
hoping for breach in the Republican
ranks in the Senate wide enough to
defeat the tariff bill. The amendents
deal mostly with the wool schedule,
and are largely devoted to so classify
ing wool that some of the frauds known
to have been perpetrated under the clas-
siication of the Mckinley tariff, will
be avoided. 1t is also claimed by the
Western Senators that these amend
ments are intended to equalize the pro-
lection given to the wool manufacturer
and the wool grower.
