THE cHILDLESs WIFE.

She sits alone. The day is done,
The house is orderly and still.
Across her floors no quick feet run.
Within her heart no longings thrill.
She fancies she is satisfied
That motherhood has been denied.
All day her busy hands have wrought
The tasks belonging to her lot,
Unhindered by an anxious thought
OF those sweet cares she misses not,
And now tonight she sits alone
And views the work so deftly done.
From WEAKNESS she falls asleep,
Within the quiet of the room.
And dreams a dream SO real and deep
That she awakes amid the gloom
And cries aloud to find it gone
And she still sitting there alone.
What new, strange longings fill her hearth
What discomfort, unknown before
Within her eyes the quick tears start
She longs to dream it DER and Ger
That touch of baby arms that seem
To clasp her neck as in the dream.

Deatl, Of Father CunlxeI.

Rev. Carl A. Gunkel, for sometime
pastor of the German Catholic church
OF this city, died suddenly at R,ces, in
Benton county on Thursday last, and
was buried IN St. Cloud on Tuesday.
Death was due to a complication of dis
eases, Father Gunkei having for years
suffered from asthma, and to this was
recently added pneumonia, says the
Times. The deceased was one Of the
oldest, il not the Oldest, priest in the di
ocese Of St. Cloud, and has for years
been located at Spring Hill. in Stearns
county, but few weeks ago was trans
feTred to Rices, he and Father Gratz ex-
changing parishes, Msgr. Baur ex-
pressed his sorrow upon the unexpected
news. He had received a letter from
Father Gunkel earlier in the day The
deceased was man of many rare traits
of character and was greatly loved by
his parishioners. He was an accom-
plished musician. On Monday Father
Sunxel W ould have been 65 years old.

Nurseries on Railroad Trains.

Now comes the travelling nursery to
take its place alongside the barber
shop, bath room, etc, on our fast
trains. The travelling nursery is to
take up about the same amount of
space as the private staterooms of the
ordinary sleeping car. There will be
a saving of space Of several feet, how
ever, as the wide seats on the sides Of
the stateroom below the berths are not
needed in the nursery, being replaced
by ottomans and tiny easy chairs scat
tered over the floor. In this way any
danger from sudden starts or sharp
curves is obviated. Afurthcr protec-
ton against injury to the little ones
the walls of the nursery are heavily
padded and the floor thickly %carpeted,
so that bumps and bruises will be
altogether avoided. At each end of
the compartment and ilnly secured
are two cosey cots on which the
smaller children lie and watch the
games of the older ones. Each car
containing the nursery attachment will
carry a matron or nurse, who will be
selected with a special reference to
amusc and caro- for her little charges,
and she will have at hand supplies of
milk, cookies and other edibles and
drinkablcs dear to the infantile heart.
She will also have charge of a medicine
chest containing a full assortment of
the simpler remedies for childish all
ments. A miniature toy shop is an
other adjunct Of the travelling nursery,
and it will contain everything from
baby rattles to picture books and fairy
tales. Nothing, in short, will be
missing that would add to the comfort
or amusement of the young travellers.

A Practical Test.

Dom Pedro, the last Emperor of
Brazil, was a man Of practical turn of
mind, as the following story told of
him by aSpanish newspaper wellillus-
trates:
He once gave an audience to young
engineer, who came to show him 4 new
appliance for stopping railway en-
gines. The Emperor was pleased with
the idea, but wished to put IL to a
practical test.
"Day after tomorrow said he,
'havc your engine ready. We will
have it coupled to my saloon car and
start. When going at full speed l
will give the signal to stop, and then
we Shall see how your invention
works"
At the appointed time all was in
readiness. The Emperor entered his
carriage, the young inventor mounted
his engine, and on they sped for sew
eral miles as fast as they could 60.
There came no signal, and the engi-
neer began to fear that the Emperor
had fallen asleep. Suddenly the en-,
CINE came to a sharp curve around the
edge of a cliff, when, to his horror, On
the track directly ahead Of them the
engineer saw a huge boulder.
He had just sufficient presence OF
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and pull the engine up within a cou-
pie Of yards of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of his car window and demanded to
know the cause of the sudden stop
page. The engineer pointed to the
rock, and much to his surprise, Dom
Pedro began to laugh. :,
"Push it on one side and 60 on
he said calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and kicking
the stone, was still further astonished
to see it crumble into dust before him.
Ii was nothing more nor less than a
block of starch which the Emperor had
had made and placed on the rails the
night before. Round Table.

A Sweet Revenge.

1t is claimed by a writer in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer that this story
originated in Cleveland, a claim which
may very we'll be true, because Cleve-
land-and especially the East End
has more precocious children to the acre
than Boston could boast of in her
palmiest days. This particular pre-
cocious infant lives on a pretty cross
street in that favored locality. Not
long ago she was troubled with an
annoying and persistent toothache.
Finally her mamma took her to a den
fist, and the dentist interviewed the
troublesome tooth.
After examining it, he told her that
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances was to have the tooth extracted,
as it contained a very large cavity,
and this was the seat Of the trouble.
Bracing herself firmly in the chair,
she babe him 60 ahead and remove the
acher. After the operation was over,
she carefully wrapped the tooth in
paper, and declared she would take it
home.
Next day her mamma noticed that
she was an unusually good girl, and
upon looking around located her in a
window seat, industriously poking su,
gar into the cavity Of the extracted
tooth. Her mother demanded the
cause of this strange proceeding.
"Why," she said, I'm poking sugar
in the old thing just to see it ache J.

Chinese Preventive OF Babies.

A French Missionary in China wit
messed recently how two Of his carriers
were bitten by a rabid dog, and was
very much worried about it. Several
Chinese who happened to be there told
him that his worry was absolutely IN
called for, since they had ar undoubt-
edly safe preventive against the poison
of a rabid dog taking effect, and to
prove the assertion five Cinnamon who
had been bitten in March of last year
by a mad dog were presented to the
missionary. He found that Cinnamon
eat of the raw liver of a mad dog after
being bitten, and if they partake Of
this within a given time after the &C
cident it is said they will not be sub.
ject to hydrophobia. 1t is curious
that Plinius in his natural history
recommends eating the liver Of a mad
dog, if bitten, as raw as~possible, and
they who would not swallow the liver
raw should have it cooked and drink
the broth therefrom. 1t is not posi-
lively known whether this remedy is
eAicacious, but it appears to be worthy
of investigation, particularly since
this seems to be the actual beginning
of the isopathic treatment since per-
fected by Pasteur and Koch.
