Queer Causes of Death.

Nelson Clark, steamboatman OF
Paducah, KY, was scalded to death
on the steamer Jennie Gilchrist. He
placed plank on the boiler and went
to sleep, when the safety valve opened
with fatal result. Mrs. Helen Sayers,
of Chicopee Falls, Mass, was drowned
In what is known as the Bleachery
pond. in the rear of Dunns bleachery.
Mrs. Sayers was giving her dog bath,
and In some manner lost her balance
and fell forward into the water. Her
head was submerged and she was I'M
able to call for assistance or to get out.
William Kaufman, of Wright County,
Iowa, was attacked by hiccoughs. He
swallowed the proverbial nine cups of
water, and his family attempted to
frighten the mild commissions from
him. but he grew worse. He was q
man Of strong constitution, but was
compelled to take to his bed, and soon
after died in terrible agony. William
Johnson, Of Richmond, Va, was in 6
boat out in the stream, with compan
ions. He lost his balance and fell over
board, sinking quickly out Of sight 4
fruitless search was made for the body
and when Johnson's friends went tt

bliphted. There is no more pltlfui
sight in all nature than good woman
chained for life to bad, unklnd, I'M
Drincipled man. She clings to her
children as her only comfort and lives
only to shield them from her shame. /
But why write about these things OF
sorrow? I know they are unwelcome
to my readers, but have thought 1t a
duty, and that maybe some one or
more might be Influenced to stop and
think. On yesterday I received long
letter from an old friend asking me to
plead with the young people and beg
them to stop this mad career that
seems to be increasing in our southern
land-this unhalowed thirst for get
ting money by short cuts and dishon-
est practices-this drinking and gam
bling that leads to suicide or the jail

the family.

hard, unlucky days that brings trouble
in various forms. The old COW got out
last night and went foraging in the
suburbs and eat up whole cotton
patch, and I'm expecting the darkey
every minute to come for his damages.
But that's nothing. A little negro
girl was rolling our little Caroline
through the hall on tricycle.. The
child is only two and half years DID,,
and is my comfort-a little blue

every day from her mother-and l
wouldn't take million dollars for he1

took her up and saw it all it made me
heart sick. 1 wanted to weep and CRY
aloud for grief. For an hour or two
was nearly heart-broken for I can
bear to see such helpless child sutle1
such agony. Her little mouth was al
broken up and deformed. But thu
good Lord tempers such things tt
little children, and now the dear it'll

The Picturesque and Peculiar City OF
Saba, in the West Indies.


Saba, in the West Indies.
If you will take down your geogra-
plies and look on the map Of the West
Indies, you will notice, between the
islands of Santa Cruz and st. Christie
pher, two small islets which, unless
your map is an unusually large and
complete one, will have no names CIV
en-. These two islands belong to the
Dutch, and the most nOrtherly and
westerly of them is called Saba.
The Dutch are noted for their odd
and quaint customs and for their per-
severance, Holland being sometimes
called the Land of Pluck;' but | doubt
if anywhere in all their possessions
have these curious people shown their
queer and eccentric habits to greater
advantage than in the little out-of-the
way island Of Saba.
The island is small, it's greatest diam
eter being not over two and one-half
miles, and it is nothing mere than an
isolated mountain-tOp rising out OF the
L
high, rising in places for sheer 1000
feet. There is no harbor, no beach, no
safe anchorage, and no large trees on
the island. Although Saba has pop
ulation of over $500, yet you might
sail all around it without seeing any
signs Of houses or settlements. III you
wished to land, or go aboard as the
Sabans say, you would have to do SO
on a shelving rock ON the southern side
of the island: and here you would find
a steep. winding flight of stone steps
leading up the rocky mountain side.
Following these steps, which number
500 and are called THE Ladder you
at last reach the top Of the mountain,
and looking inland, see small grassy
plain covered with neat white, red
rooted houses, the whole surrounded
on every side by towering peaks and
precipices covered with beautiful tree
ferns, bamboos, and wild plantains.
This little town, the only one on the
| island, is known as "rhe Bottom"-a
CURIOUS udift Suitit buI II Id wen
named, nevertheless. for the plain on
which it is built is nothing more than
the bottom Of The crater of an extinct
volcano.
Descending the slope into this queer
est of queer towns, you find the streets
simply marrow paths walled with stone,
higher in places than your head, while
every inch of earth is cultivated with
true Dutch thrift and industry. Here
and there small patches Of sugar-cane,
vans and aTTowroot are side by side
with beans, corn and potatoes, with
palm and banana trees rising over all
The population consists Of whites and
negroes in nearly equal numbers, while
the blue-eyed and towheaded children
play with black-skinned and curly
haired piccaninnies; but all are Dutch
in speech, manners and looks. The
houses, shops, gardeus-eyerything Is
Dutch.-St. Nicholas.

DIR. Webb's locomotive Searchlight.
Persons who happened to be in the
Union Station yard last night about
1890 were struck with the unusual
brilllancy OF the place The reason for
this was that the private engine Of DR..
Seward Webb the Nehasene, was In
the yard with new searchl!ght on Its
pilot, which threw a very powerful
light oil the track and the objects with
in its range. The searchlight is about
the size of the ordinary light carried
on the pilots of locomotives, only it Is
many times more brilliant. The power
for the light Is generated in 4 small dy.
namo operated independent of the
mechanism of the engine. The engine
was in charge Of Engineer McFadden,
who was kept busy explaining the light
TO 4 curious and interested crowd of
railroad men. The engine was ordered
to Utica, and left on its run at 1890.
The light Is able to allow the engineer
to discern objects distinctly at the dis,
