Around the household hearth;
With all his fragile loneliness,
He has passed away from earth.

That our darling used to wear;
Press the ugonizing kisses,
On the brown curley hair.

With all its beauty hid;

Pressed beneath the coffin lid.

Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Gtusing
liousness. Doctors We're scarce, and
they seldom heard 'of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart Fail
ure, &c. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August

The rehabilitation OF the Baltimore
and Ohio South Western Railway will
begin as SOC as the frost is out Of
the ground in the spring. Just before
the line went into the hands of Re-
eeivers Harmon and Robinson a large
quantity of material was purchased
This will be Immediately delivered
and used to the best advantage. Forty
thousand tons of S5-pound steel rails
have been purchased, and enough will
be on hand on March LIST to enable
the Receivers to begin laying it at
five different points on the line. Each
mile of track will be carefully rebal-
lasted and placed in first-class condi-
ton. 1t will take 101 900 pairs of con-
tinuous rail joints for the forty thou
sand tons of rail. The two thousand
standard box cars and five hundred
steel coal cars recently ordered will be
delivered in March. Additional motive
power, in the shape of forty compound
freight engines, weighing 156, 900
pounds, and five ten-wheel compound
passenger engines. weighing 1875, 900
pounds, is now being built by the Bald
win Locomotive Works. 1t Is expected
that by the time the property Is re-
organized and becomes the southwest
ern division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad that it will be in a
physical condition fully equal to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

RESCUED.

and then something smiling round the
trap. There could be no doubt that it
was the man-eater. My heart nearly
burst. / was kept in agony for full ten
minutes, and then the beast evidently
found the door, for he entered and I
heard the door fall. There was a par
tition of bamboos between him and
me, but I anticipated that he would
soon demolish that and tear me to
pieces as I lay huddled up helplessly.
In the darkness l could see the great,
luminous, wistful eyes of the man
eater. The fearful brute, finding that
he could not get in to me, began to
insert his paws gently, but I crept up
to the outer bars, and then he could
ever, in giving me a claw or two on
my back and bullock. AS he smelt the
blood he began to gnaw at the bars,
and would doubtless have made short
work of them, but there was a sud
den glare of torches, a confused MUIR
muir and then l felt the worst had
passed. A guide, with ten of the Sikhs
out of the twenty which formed my
bodyguard, came up and ~bayoneted
the tiger, who was caught literally like
a rat in a trap. Fire they dared not,
as they were only a couple~of miles
from Goung Gees camp. They re-
leased me. more dead than alive. from
my living tomb. and then improvised a
hammock out of a native blanket and
carried me to my camp.

ENGLISH

Among the country people Of Eng
land signs and 'superstitions receive
much credit. Forecasts of coming Wis
itors appear in the morning tea cup
and in the way the candle burns. The
floating stick in the tea tells the ap-
proach of a visitor, and is carefully
pinched to see If it's softness indicates
a woman, its hardness a man. If a
red speck is seen in the flame of the
candle it is taken as so sure a sign OF
a visitor that the housewife imme-
diately sets her home in order.
The peasant girl, when she sees a
spark in the candle, knows she Is to
get a letter from her love, and runs to
the candle to see If it is posted. She
finds this out by lifting the candle
stick in the air and bringing it down
on the table with a little bang. II the
spark falls, the letter is already posted.
If turkeys gobble 1t means the ap-
proach of a storm, and unlucky visit

hosts, who insist a storm is coming
up rapidly.
One curious practice still largely In
vogue in out-of-the-way districts Of
leafy Warwickshire is that known as
'the tree cure" in the efficacy of which
the natives hold an ~unslayable faith.
Any weak child (but more especially
those suffering from the rickets) is a
proper subject for the tree cure. The
child is brought to the foot of a twin
ash. or, better still. to a tree with a
cleft in it, and is then passed through
the cleft by those in charge of it, in
the full and firm conviction that his
contact with the tree will strengthen
him and his bones to go togeth-
er and set hard.
