We had an angel in our very midst,
That God had lent us for little while;
We loved her dearly and would fain have
kept,
But Jesus called her with his radiant smile
"Come, little lamb the tender Shepard
called,
'And in my bosom rest your weary head;
The world is but rude and weary way,
For such an innocent as ypu t, tread"
take you from the ones you love so dear,
But not lin anger" saith the Blessed Lord;
IT'S but tolead them to my Heavenly fold
To anchor their fond hearts within my
Word.
So darling Lottie laid her down to sleep,
The sleep that earthly waking cannot know;
She sweety rests on that fair golden shore,
To watch for all who loved her here below.
We mourn for thee. dear Lottie, and we must /;
For oh! we miss thee, darling. all the day;
But still remembering thy dreadful pain,
We could not wish our angel here to stay
40 Gravel" we cry, where is thy victory"
And thou, ooh DEATH where is thy boosted
sting?'
Thou canst but parting give to us on earth,
While Christ and Heaven shall happier
meeting bring
Els not for long. the hours of time are short
Upon the earth, Eternity in Heaven;
We soon shall find our Lottie once again,
And, Oh, Forever! lis the promise given

Some curious instances of the physic-
al defects of ''word blindness" are CIV
en- In the Lancet The disease is for
tunately uncommon. In one case the
sufferer, an Englisman, thirty-four
years of age, who knew Greek, Latin
and French well, suddenly lost all
knowledge of English, though he could
read and understand Greek perfectly
and Latin and French in q rather
smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that of a man
who lost the power of reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accu-
rately from dictation, but was COM
pletely unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness Is apparently
akin to color blindness. but is certainly
attended by much more inconvenient
consequences.

Dressing n Hog.

1t is told Of the late p. d. Armour
that on one occasion he, made present
of u suit of clothes to each of his en-
ployees in a certain department. Each
man was told that he might order his
own suit and send the bill to Mr.. Ar
mour, no restrictions being made as to
price. In order to avail himself fully
of this liberality one young man or
dered evening clothes costing $50.
When the bill was sent in, Mr.. Armour
sent for the clerk to vouch for it's ac-
curacy and, finding it right, assured
the man it would be paid. AS the clerk
was leaving, however, Mr.. Armour said
to him:
II wish to say to you that l have
packed a great many hogs in my time,
but never dressed one beforeV-New

Toad Stones.

Most readers have no doubt heard of
the precious jewels which the toad car
ries in his brain box, and so called
toadstones, which were In reality the
teeth of fossil fish, were formerly worn
in finger rings as protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads; but, as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures in that way, it was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means, and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath.
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celebrity, such as could only be ac-
quired by constant practice, and it is
not reasonable, therefore. to assume
that. although the endeavors to gain
possession of the jewels were perhaps
numerous, they must have invariably
been unsatisfactory. especially to the

Silver Gulch Ranch.

The play of Silver Gulch Ranch, !"
brought out by local talent last
Thursday night, furnished enter
tainment for house crowded to it's
utmost capacity. It would be very
proper to go into the detail of this
most enjoyable performance but
nothing less than column would do
the matter justice. Each performer
came up to the rack like an old play
wright. They were all stars and
nothing short of it. Some enter
prising persons had prepared a bas-
ket of beautiful boquets to be cast
at the feet of the performers, from
time to time, but alas, they became
so absorbed in the drama that they
forgot all about it, only one boquet
finding it's way to the stage and
that placed in the hands of DR..
Hancock whose quick repartee was
greatly enjoyed. We trust this COM
pany will in the near future again
give the public an opportunity of
listening to the splendid play of
Silver Gulch Ranch. Mrs. G. A.
Wilcox, of New Richmond, had
charge of the rehearsals. After all
expenses were paid the w. R. c.,
for whose benefit the play was put
on, had over $40 to their credit.
This play will be given in River
Falls August %.

Rummage Sale.

AT the last meeting of the River
Falls Improvement League it was
decided to hold Rummage Sale in
the fall. The proceeds of the sale
are to be devoted to the building of
a substantial foot bridge across the
South Fork. The bridge will ex-
tend from the foot of Vine street
across the river and land within the
park limits. This will supply a
want that has existed since we had
the park, of short way for foot
passengers to reach the park. We
feel that this is move in the inter
est of the whole city and we bespeak
the assistance of all who are inter
ested in city improvement.

In recent years the Minnesota
State Fair has grown to be some
thing of northwestern exposition.
It's exhibits now come from a dozen
northwestern states and the exhibit
ors at the fair are representative OF
the industries of a much larger
number of people than live in the
state of Minnesota. For this rea-
son, the fair is being attended by
the northwest generally, and is wild
ening it's sphere of influence each
year. The national live stock eX-
hibitions have assisted in drawing
people to the fair from great dis
tanCes. 1t is expected that this
year there WILDE a large attendance
from Montana and other live stock
states. The fair opens Sept. lst
and continues until the 9Th. There
will be reduced rates on all the rail
roads in the Western Passenger
Association, as we'll as on the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
and 500 lines.

AriafOCrafiC Ants.

The slaveholding ants are Of several
kinds and differ greatly in the manner
In which they treat their vassals. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of overseers; others share
their labors, while still others have
fallen into such habits of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritism is the mere ostentatious
love of being served. The incapacity is
not physical, but moral, and arises
from an aristocratic aversion to any
kind Of mental labor.

An event of great interest to the
medical profession has been the visit
of Professor Lorenz of Vienna to Chi
cago where he came at the invitation
of one of our American millionaireS to
perform an operation of which he is
the inventor upon the little one of the
family. His speciality is the treat
ment Of congenital hip dislocation by
which is meant a deformity at birth,
nature failing to provide socket for
articulation with the head of the thigh
bone. The operation of Professor
Lorenz is not performed with the
knife, but the bone is forced into
place and held there by plaster of
paris casts for long period. 1t is
said to be remarkably successful, and
persons who otherwise would be hope
lesSly crippled for life are placed on
an equal fonting with their fellows.
Professor LorenZ is said TO receive a
fee of 500, 900.
