AND5WAS NOT AFRAID.
q Dying Mother Gains Courage for
Her Journey Away from Her s
Fl, Little Daughter.

A touching and most unusual little
incident of q young mother who was
hopelessly ill, but quite unconscious
Of her condition, is, described by the
Boston Courier.
One afternoon the physicians, held
consultation, and afterward an
nounced to the husband and sister
of the patient the sad fact that she
had but short time to live.
| 1t was questioned whether it would
be advisable to tell the sick woman
or not. They talked the matter over
quite unmindful of little Edith, the
five-year-old child of the dying WON
an, who was quietly playing with her
dolls, apparently unconscious of
what was going on about her.
In few minutes the little girl
left her toys, walked slowly up the
stairs and went directly to her
i mothers room. With the aid of q
chair she climbed on the bed, kissed
her mothers pale cheek, and then
asked her in low, tender tones:
Mamma, are you 'f'aid to die?"
! The mother was at first startled by
the question and asked: ''Who told
you? Do they Think '.
"Oh, mamma, DEAR" murmured the
child, you needn't be 'f'aid at all
Hold my hand tight; shut your eyes
close. I will stay by you, and when
you wake up adam it will be all
right"
The eyes were closed, the hand
tightly clasped for few minutes
and when, a little later, the other
members of the family entered the
room the mother was quietly sleep
ing, and the child said:
II told mamma, and she was not
'f'aid to die"
The sick woman opened her eyes
and said: Eyes, know, and I an
not afraid

Z On the 9Th of June next, after forty.
one years Of continuous service in the
medical department of the army, DR..
George NJ. Sternberg, now surgeon
general will be retired under the oper-
atoms of the law. During these forty.
one years DR.. Sternberg has rendered
his country inestimable service-serv.
ice not less valuable and heroic than
that rendered by generals in the field.
There is now a bill before congress
which has the approval of the war de.
partment which provides for the re.
tirement Of Surgeon General Stern
berg with the rank and emoluments of
a major general. It would seem to be
only even justice to thus provide for a
faithful and efficient officer who has
spent the greater part of a lifetime in
one of the most important branches of
the government service.

Tho French Elections,

That Paris 81 France" was again
disproved by the late election Of mem
bers Of the chamber Of deputies. While
the result in Paris is decided defeat
Tor the government Of M. Waldeck-
J Rousseau, not a single Ministeralist be-
ing elected, the provinces have given
his administration q substantial in
dorsement, returning sufficient num-
Der Of deputies to more than overbal-
ance the anti Ministerial vote OF the
capital. AS the municipal government
Of Paris was already antagonistc to
the Waldeck-Rousseau administration,
he is no worse of there than before
the elections.
The government had to meet the
1nimical influence Of the Clericals in
the west Of France and the strong OPP
position Of the Militarists in the east,
where the memory Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war is still keen. In the central
and southern regions the government
has made gratifying gains. The vote
everywhere was about one fifth heav-
Ter than at the last elections.
The results on the whole give the
conservative administration of M. Wal
deck-Rousseau safe majority of the
5S4 seats of the chamber of deputies.
The time was when, to use an Ameri-
can expression, it might have been said
that "as goes Paris so goes France"
Happily for the safety Of republican in
situations in France, this is no longer so.
The steadier and more representative
provinces now outweigh the capital,
the home of disintegration and political
revolutions which have so frequently
threatened the republic.

Chicago Justifies Her Title.


According to the annual summary of
the weather bureau touching the ve-
locity Of the wind in various sections
OF the country, Chicago leads all Amer.
lean cities in the total miles Of wind
movement during the year. This was
145, 1893, or an average of 1875 miles an
hour. At only two stations of the bu-
reau was the total wind mileage for
Chicago exceeded. These were Block
Island, on the Rhode Island coast Of
the Atlantic, where the total for the
year was 1888 niles, and Mount
Tamalpais, overlooking the Pacific
ocean from height of 1915 feet,
where the total miles Of wind move
ment were 163, 2O3, which is the highest
point registered at any of the weather
bureau stations. The lowest figures
were at Roseburg, Or, where the total
mileage was 3O,471, or an average of
3B miles an hour. At the weather sta
ton in New York the total miles of
wind movement were 127,267, or an
average of 141a miles an hour The to-
tai movement in some other cities was

A PRINCES EDUCATION.
One Thing That Little Edward Of
York Rebelled Agafnst But
Had to Learn,

The present idol of the British pub
lie is Prince Edward of York, eldest
son of the duke of York, grandson of
the prince of Wales, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, and heir in the direct
line Of the crown of Great Britain.
Prince Edward, having been born on
June %, 1894, is now we'll into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite a
big boy, says Youths Companion.
His brother Albert is year younger,
and the two princes have had, perhaps,
their share, but no more, of brotherly
scraps" The duke of York is said
not to have interfered with their small
wars, saying that to ''let them fight it
out will make them better men, But
he has interfered successfully with an
other weakness of Prince Edward.
1t is customary for the royal chill
dren, in meeting the queen, to kiss her
hand and not her cheek; but Prince
Edward did not like to do this, and eb-
jected strenuously. One day he heard
some one speak of cher ma jesty."
II know who her majesty is" said
he; "it's just granny!"
And who was the naughty little
prince who would not kiss granny's
hand?"
"That was me- said Prince Edward,
unabashed, land I'm not going to kiss
granny's hand!" r. ..~r~
But when he had arrived at the age
of five he felt himself quite man, and
began to do as other men did-kissed
the queens hand and always dotted his
cap in her presence.

A SPINNING GHOST.
Upon Investigation Proved to BE .
Rat Enjoying a Run Around
the Wheel.

On the post road in southern New
Hampshire stands an old house which
was once famous for it's ghost. It
had been a tavern, owned and man
aged by two brothers and two sis
tiers named Mason, relates the
Youths Companion.
The youngest Of the family, Han
nah, had been Tilted in her youth.
After her desertion she never entered
any door save that of her own home,
but gave all her strength to hard
work. She would hatchel fax for
weeks, spin INCREASINGLY and weave
on hand loom. without apparently
a thought CT rest.
She died after a short illness, and
still travellers said that their slum-
bers were disturbed by the whir of
the wheel. Soon it was whispered
about that the Mason house was
haunted. Strange sounds were heard
from the garnet where Hannah had
always worked, and plainest of all
was the hum of the great wool wheel.
The brothers heard the story, and
at once set out to solve the mystery.
Joseph went to the garnet and
watched. After time the wheel be-
gan to revolve. He struck light.
On the rim of the wheel was a great
rat, running around.
Frequent visits to the garnet rem
dered this rat so tame that he would
come out on the spinning wheel by
daylight, and several others were oc-
casionally seen to take spin in the
wheel, as if it were pleasant recre-
alton.

Americans are the greatest beef eat
ers in the world. The rate per capita
OF meat consumption in year in the
United States is third larger than
England, twice as large as France,
two and half times larger than Ger
many, Belgium or Denmark, three
times as large as Russia and Ireland
and six times as large as Italy. Thus
when the trust boosts the prices to a
point where many American families
are forced to 60 without the meat diet
to which they have been accustomed it
is no wonder that indignant protests
are raised all over the country.
