been rubbed out Of her face and the plumpness and color of youth was re turning fast. But her hair was never anything else but white as snow.
 What was the thing in her room? Nothing in the world but a horrible example of public savagery and official carelessness. There was pocr.farm some eight miles from cur town. and miserable pauper, having gone violent. ly insane, they knew nothing better to do with him than chain him in an out house and treat him like dangerous animal. You can imagine, CT raj her you can't imagine, the effect on beth his personal appearance and OF bis dis ease. One afternoon he escaped. carry ing part of his chain with him, and in his wanderings reached the elderly aunt's house. which stood open in he midst of house cleaning. Attracted by the coolness inside he had crept ID into the old wing, where he had en- tered one of the chambers and hid den in the great fireplace, and gone to sleep. The light of the young wou- ans candle that night had reused him, and his journeys round the wall were mere animal instinct searching for an exit.
 ''They called for him the same morn. ing, and saw the poor devil when they found him lying up there in the room It is solemn fact that his canines projected an inch below his upper lip. He didn't have on enough rags to cover the backs of mans two hands, and his hair and beard and skin had been indescribably misused, and the poor wretch was in the last stages of con- sumption. But his nights adventure proved not such bad thing for him, for he died two weeks later in compar- ative comfort. But the manager of that poor-farm had no such easy exit from the troubles which overlook him" IN. I. Sun.

DON'T LIKE ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Little Account for Refrigsr. ating Purposes.

A new grievance has arisen to annoy the housewife. A few years ago, when artificial ice came into vogue, she re- garded 1t ss an upmiXed blessing that
 would greatly lessen her trioulations To-day she complains that it lacks the one essential property of ice-cooling, says the Chicago Chronicle. It does not cool things, she says. Even though the ice box be kept full to the lid with solid cakes the cream sours and the strawberries shrivel, the bottled beer remains tepid, the butter nelts and the salad wilts, just as they would were there no ice in the refrigerator Al first this puzzled the housewife. She thought Maria was at fault, But Maria called the saints to witness that she had placed the beer bottles all around the cake of ice, the butter and berries on top and the cream and lettuce close by. The housewife was still doubtful. She spoke of 1t to neighbor. Its the ice," said the neighbor. II had the some trouble. There is big-worded scientific explanation of it, which l can't give you. But it's something to know that artificial ice won't keep things cool. as the Jack Frost kind does. It's bad enough when one has nice. cool cellar in which to keep ones refrigerator, but when it is one of the hardwood set-in apartment kind in a psssageway between the kitchen and the Gining-room and one expects company to dinner and the blanc mango won't jell--"
 Just my experience. We had straw berry eustard for dessert--at least we were to have had one. II turned out something between an egguog and very fluffy omelet souffle. We dranki if. Of course blamed poor Maria. scolded her for not making the custard in time and for putting too much milk in it. She said that 1t had been made in time and that she had put it on ice at noon, which seemed incredible, but I believe her now. Things do get coo', hut they gre no colder after 6 soiourn ci e4 hours in the ice chest than they are after being there one hour Maria's grudge against the cIystal-clear plant ice is bitter Sure, am it don't lasht long enough to cool annything, amy how she says"

Shipments of PineappleS.

Several schooners reached Miami from
the Florida KEYS last week loaded with
pineapples. w. y. Jackson sent two
carloads from the Higgs plantation To
Chicago, and there We're about two ears
of scattering shipments. The distribu-
ton of the crop from the keys has been
much better than usual. This arises
from the fact that the crop has been
purchased outright, and the buyers have
been careful not to overstock any of the
markets, which has resulted in good
prices through the season.
In the Eden, Jensen and other pine
apple districts large quantity of the
fruit is being consigned. and with the
large crop will eventually end in some Of
the markets receiving more fruit than
they can dispose of at good prices. 1t is
estimated that there will be sent from
the east coast from 10000 To 10000
crates of pines this season. With a ia.
vorable winter this output will probably
Ice increased next season.

A Dogs Warning of Death.

The ghost stories of the Airlies recall
curious little story told the other day
by a young army surgeon who had just
come home inyalded from the seat Of
war. 1t will be remembered that Ma
jor Ray was one of the officers killed
ut Magersfontein on the terrible De-
cember II. He had left behind him
his servant Bovine, at Michau's house,
the headquarters Of the mounted in
fantry camp, on the Modder River, and
sleeping in the same tent with Bovine
was the dog Drummer, the well-known
dog of the Fifth Royal Fusiliers.
Drummer was very much attached to
Major Ray, which may account for the
story. In the early morning Bovine
was woke up by unearthly and mourn
full bowling, and looking out he saw
that it was Drummer, who kept on for
some time. and refused to be comfort
ed. Bovine afterward compared times,
and found that the dog howled just at
the moment when the spirit of Major
Ray was passing out Of this world.
For days after the poor dog was
wretched, refusing food and all con-
solation-he missed so much the officer
to whose parting soul he had given the
faithful dogs reQuiem.-M. A. p.

The secret Of the staying power of
the mounted Boer lies, apparently, In
the fact that he is not better horse
man, but a better horsemaster, than
the British trooper or artillery driver.
He knows TO an ounce how much he
can safely take out of his mount, and
never calls on the beast beyond that
point. He nurses him always, tends
him carefully at every opportunity,
and knows how to doctor him the mo-
ment he is knocked up. Among our
men-excepting probably the Colonial
irregulars-stolid indifference or ignor-
ance prevails on all such matters. The
majority of the mounted infantry have
probably never had any instruction
whatever in the management Of horses
outside stables. Nor: is the prevailing
ignorance confined to the rank and file.
If only officers understood all the nice
ties Of nursing horses under heavy
and prolonged strain, they would see
that, the right thing was done, but COM
petent witnesses affirm that, though
there are conspicuous exceptions here
and there, the average cavalry or artil-
lery officer never gives his attention to
such matters, apparently regarding
the management Of the horses in his
command as a menial matter, to be left
20 the rank and file. I have even heard
it said that the smartest and most sue
.cessful of our cavalry Generals would
have done much better if he had given
more attention 10 the mysteries OF
"horsefnanship Truth.

Boers Not Led by Foreign Officers.

There is a mistaken notion abroad
that the operations of the Beers have
been directed by European and Amer
lean officers. This widely circulated
statement contains scarcely a scintilla
of truth. A few European officers and
one American Colonel Blake are here.
They may be men of ability for all
1 know, and competent to give the
Beers excellent advice. Other foreign
officers would volunteer if they could
get commissions in the republican
army. The talent can easily be Sc
cured. But how devise scheme to
apply it? The Beers will MT obey
their own officers, much less foreign.
