Of being involved. was narrowly AVERT
ed.
Now that the event has justified
Mrs. Rathbone's predictions her fame
has been renewed and the volume OF
her visits and mail has outgrown
even its former remarkable proper
tions. Magistrate White is ecarcely
able to conceal his chagrin. and some
say he lie threatened with insanity.
The neIghborhood defers to Mrs.
Rathbone in everything and her hus-
band has been promoted and received
an increase Of salary.
Mr.. Labouchere says he championed.
Mrs. Rathbone merely to avoid what
looked like oppression, though at the
time he had not the slightest idea that
the prophecy would come true. Its
accuracy, he admits, has astounded
him as much as it has any one else.
and while not a believer in clairyoy-
ance, he confesses his inability to ac-
count for this singular occurrence.
In fact, Mr.. Labouchere has sent for
record of Mrs. Rathbone's previous
prophecies and the dates and circum-
stances under which they were made,
together with a statement Of their
verification. Public opinion and curl
osity is aroused to great height over
the phenomenon. Mrs. Rathbone re-
tains her modest and retiring demean-
or, and. as before, absolutely refuses
to exercise her remarkable gift for
gain. 1t is reported that the curious
affair has been brought TO the notice
of King Edward, who has manifested
the liveliest curiosity concerning 1t.

diction concerning the queen her ma
iesty was. as far as known, in her
usual health and bade fair to live
many years. In fact, II was the con-

death was many years distant.
Mrs Rathbone suffered considerably
when she made her prediction con-
corning the queens death, for such
a prediction, as might easily be mag
ined. was by no means popular ana
WINS received with much opposition. In
fact the local Dogberry, one White,

VICTORIA AND HER SERVANTS.

Chummy with Her Attendants.

England's Late Monarch Was Quite
Chummy with Her Attendants.
1t is perhaps not surprising that the
late Queen Victoria was not bothered
with the servant girl problem. SO
great was the rivalry to get into the
royal household that its mistress could
have her pick of the best the land af-
forded. Few women, however, no
matter what their station, SO won the
affections of her servants. She was
81 years old and walked with difficulty
when one of her housemaids fell i'll al
Windsor castle and was confined TO
her bed in a room which was high up
in the building and could only be APP
preached by several flights of stairs.
One of the canons of Windsor paid her
visit, and remarked upon the in
valid's peculiarly radiant expression,
and also made half iocular ailusion,
as to the altitude OF her bedroom. Il
am very happy. sir" said the house
maid. To-day the queen herself has
been to see me. Her majesty came
into this room and sat down by me.
Then she said. I have got away from
them all and come to see you. Do you
know how did it? / managed 1t by
sitting down on every third stair.
With an old housekeeper at Wind
sor, who was a Methodist, she would
bring her knitting and sit an hour at
time talking on questions of the
deepest moment to them both. She
was perplexed at the old lady's religi-
GUS phraseology, and especially want
ed to know what she meant when she
spoke OF conversion" The house
keeper was only good woman and
no theologian apt in the phrases o.
the schools. and so she fell back on q
relation of hers, who was minister II
New York, and from him obtained
book or two which might enlighter
her royal mistress.

POISONING By TRANSFER PICTURES.

POISONING BY TRANSFER PICTURES.
The illness and death of child
from handling transfer pictures have
been made the subjects of some chemi-
cal investigation, which brought to
light the fact that some of the trans
ferring compound contained lead. As
the child's symptoms indicated lead
poisoning, the compound was examin-
ed, and it is recommended that Its use
be discontinued. There are SO many
amusements, toys and appliances for
children that it seems strange that un-
principled persons should prepare poi
sonous materials to put into little
hands. 1t is bad enough when child
rem get poisoned by accident, but TO
furnish deadly mixture as toy
should subject the maker Of such
a thing to the utmost penalty Of the
law. There are severe restrictions
placed upon the manufacture of stamp
ed envelopes and other articles to
which the tongue may be applied, but
1t seems that no one has thought to
examine these little transfer pictures
in which children take so much de-
light.

ONE DOCTORS OPINION.


A physician who had resided in
small town for nearly a quarter Of a
century, and had accumulated a COM
petence, was in a reminiscent frame
one day, and said to a friend:

ought to be the healthiest people alive,

habitually eat too much. Their sys-
TENS become clogged, and instead of
starving themselves well. they send

To the minds of most readers the
mention of coral reefs calls up pic
ture of palm-dotted islets girt with
white sands in a tropical sea, but ge-
ologists find coral reefs in the midst
of great continents. These, of course,
belong to past age of the earth's his
tory, but on that very account they are
extremely interesting. During the past
year several remarkable reefs Of fossil
coral have been explored near Balm
bridge on the Flint river in Georgia.
In one case very large portion of the
reef exposed consists of coral heads.
some of which are more than foot
in diameter. Between twenty-five and
thirty species OF coral have been rec
ognized in these reefs by Mr.. T. w.
Vaughan. They are ascribed to the
Tertiary age.
