England With the Heavy Hand.


 England has inflicted far greater land disasters on her redoubtable neighbor, France, than all the military monarch ies of Europe put together. English armies for l20 years ravaged France, while England has not seen the fires of French camp since the battle Of Hast ings. English troops have twice taken the French capital. an English king was crowned at Paris, French king rode captive through London. French emperor died in English captivity and his remains were surreDdc red by Eng fish generosity. Twice Hthe English horse marched from Calais to the Pyr- enees, once from the Pyrenees to Ga lais; the monuments of Napoleon in the French capital at this moLSent owe their preservation from Germah revenge to an English general

Young an.. brilliant, devoted to his profession, Dr Rand should have had many years of use- full life Weak human understar ding pauses, on occasions of this kind, and questions-"Why should this man. with SO much to live for. die with his work hut partly done? Why should death take this father from the children left without & mother, and rob them of the love and counsel which he was so capable of i'm parting? Why should this able physi- elan. whose conscientious conception of his duties was only equaled by his zeal in performing those duties, be taken from the families who have learned to lean on his judgment and skill? Why should this man be taken from his usefulness, while scores of others, less capable. live to a green old age?

We cannot tell why Dr. Rand should be cut off thus early. but the faith that was his must be ours at this time, when the shock of his death Is still with us.
 The work of physician is not a sine cure. His convenience must be sacrificed at all times for his patients. Night or day, cold or hot, driving rain or binding sleet, he must be ready for the cry of dis tress. No class of men do more mission ary work than the physicians. Many who become i'll cannot pay, and all our doc tors do much work without any pecuniary reward. Dr. Rand did his full share of this kind of work. He also did much

He had faculty for literary work and has, in the brief leisure that he has been able to snatch from his professions duties, produced some very creditabl- poems, as we'll as some professional pa- pers. At the time of his death he was preparing course of lectures, to be de- livered this winter before a medical school in Boston.
 Dr. Rand was born in Francestown. N. H.. September IA, 1853 He was a lineaI descendant of Robert Rand, who came from England and settled in Charlestown in 1885. In his boyhood days he attend. ed the public schools in his native town and later the academy. After graduating from the latter he taught school for 8 time and took partial courses in Dart mouth college and Boston university He later entered the New York homeo.
 
 After his graduation he went to Palmer where he practiced his profession for d , few months with Dr. J. K. Warren. h 1879 he came to Monson, where he has built up large practice, in which he was active at the time of his death He was married July 20, 1883, to Miss Jennie Peck of Monson. She died three years later, leaving him two childaen, Freids and Carl Wheeler, who survive him. He also leaves a brother, Dr. John Rand oi Worcester, and three sisters, Hattie ot Monson, Sarah of Worcester, and Mrs. William Clark of Lyndeboro, N. H. He was taken i'll a little over two weeks ago with appendicitis. The Saturday preceding his death an operation was per- formed. For few days his recovery was hoped for, but he suddenly became worse. Everything known to medical science was done for him, but he died at II o'clock last Saturday forenoon, after an illness of ] little over one week.

VISITING A SHRINE.
Lieutenant RswlinsOn's Daring Entry In
 the Sacred City of Kum

the Sacred City or Aum.
 Rum, a walled city of Persia, ranks second to Meshed in sanctity, on &C., count of the famous shrine of Masuma Fatima, sister of the Imam Riza, a fla nous saint of the Mohammedans. While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on his way to Tehelan he heard much of this sacred city and the glories of the shrine, which, it was said, no Euro pean had ever entered. Death, so rumOr whispered, would be the portion of the audacious infidel who should bs discov cred within its precincts.
 To "a young and ardent spirit danger ous adventure is an irresistible attrac- tion. Young Rawlinson determined to visit the shrine. Disguised as Persian pilgrim, thousands of whom annually journey to the sacred city, he joined the crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge of Persian and of the customs of the coun- try enabled him to pass undetected through the temple gates and to make his way to the tomb of the saint The guardian gave him the customary form of words and he repeated them.
 But his curiosity almost caused his detection. Attracted by magnificent suits of steel armor which hung on the walls, he was gazing at them, when suddenly he found that he had turned his back upon the sacred shrine where in the saint was entombed.
 A thrill of alarm startled him, but the discourtesy, impossible to a.'true believer, had not leen noticed. If. ii had been, there would probably have been no further career for the young lieutenant, who subsequently became the decipherer of Assyrian ahd Babylo- nian inscriptions and texts. and. died th, renowned orientalist, Sir Anry Raw: linson.

 When Umbrellas Were First Used.
 The introduction of the umbrella in some places has been regarded of suffi- cient importance to be included in the local annals. About l7SO red Leghorn umbrella was introduced into Bristol, and it created quite a sensation in the city. It was about the same period that an umbrella was first carried in the streets of Stamford, Lincolnshire. Ii was of Chinese manufacture and was brought to Stamford from Glasgow Mrs. Stockdale, in 17T6, is recorded to have brought from the island of Ora. nada, in the West Indies, the first um brella seen in Cartmel, Lancashire.
 In 1779 Dr. Spens, a popular physi clan, carried an umbrella in the streets of Edinburgh, and he is credited with introducing it into the Scottish capital. John Jameson, 8 Glasgow surgeon, vis- ited Paris about l781 or l782 and brought hack with him an umbrella, which was the first seen in Glasgow, where it attracted unusual attention. William Symington was the first per. son to carry an umbrella ill Paisley.
 It is related by Horace Walpole in his account of the punishment of Dr Shebberere for libel. Dec. 5, l75S, that when he was in the pillory footman held over him an umbrella to keep off the rain. This has been described as an aristocratic style of bearing punish ment. The undersheriff got into trou. ble for permitting the indulgence FiroCi,-
