LEPER IN New YoRK.-Chin Sing,
laundryman of Mott street, New York,
is suffering in the advanced stages of
leprosy, and, therefore, he cannot be
treated at North Brother Island, where
he asked to. be sent. He cannot go be-
cause that hospital is for contagious
diseases, and the doctors have decided
that leprosy is not of this class. Chin
Sing went to DIR. Horan, in New York,
to find out what was the matter with
him. His bones ached and his flesh was
sloughing away. DIR. Horan diagnosed
the case as leprosy, and took the man in
a carriage to the City lodginghouse, to
have DR.. Bauer pass upon it. DIR Bauer
coincided in the diagnosis, and the case
was so advanced and of such peculiar
character that he went with DIR. Horan
and the patient to Bellevue Hospital.
There Chin Sing was isolated and yes
terday morning the doctors made an
effort to get him transferred to North
Brother Island, where, it was thought,
he could be treated best, but he was re-
fused there. He was sent TO the
Metropolitan Hospital, on BlackwelPs
Island, yesterday morning, where his
case will be studied by the doctors.

T.,e persexering Ee1.

Young cells in passing up a river
show the most extraordinary perse-
yerance in overcoming all Instructions.
The large flood gates--sometimes ff-
teen feet in leighton the Thames
might be supposed sufficient to bar the
progress of a fish the size of q darning
needle. But young cells have a whole
some idea that nothing can stop them,
and in consequence nothing does.
Speaking of the way in which they as
cend food gates and other barriers, one
writer says: "Those which die stick to
the post; others. which get a little high
er, meet with the same fate. until at
last a layer of them is formed which
enables the rest to overcome the diff
Guilty of the passage.
'"The mortality resulting from such
'forlorn hopes greatly helps to account
for the difference in the number Of
young cells on their upward migration
and that Of those which return down
stream in the autumn. In some places
these baby cells are much sought after
and are formed into cakes, which are
eaten fried."-London Standard.

His Consolation.

A lawyer who has won some distinc-
ton through his success in oompromis-
ing suits for damages by accident says
his most interesting client was a Swed-
ish farmer from Delaware county
whose wife had been killed in Phila-
delphia by a train crossing the streets
at grade.
The widower was simply i~a2onsola-
bic and, having been told that he
could get $4,000 if he insisted on
pushing the case, refused for months
to talk compromise. The lawyer, of
course, did all possible to keep the
hearing back in the hope of discour-
aging the Swede, and at last he was
rewarded by an offer to settle at a rea-
sonable figure.
The Swede called, the lawyer said
$500, and the bereayed one quickly ac-
cepted. As he folded the check and
pocketed it he observed:
Swell, | deed not do SO padlee! FIFE

The Cleaners.

cal story of Ruth and Naomi is not
obsolete in England, and in Hartford.
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbor.
ing counties as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days Of August
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by n the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves, which they carry
in their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails,
all the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heals of the
cleaners. At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it
for their chickens. The gathering of
a half peck is usually a full days work
for a child, and often a woman spends
a whole day in-.gathering very little
lore. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in th> light of a picnic.
The mother and children leave home in
the morning. take with them food for
the day, and stay out in the fields until
nightfall.-Detroit Free Press.

There are some women who seem
to be perennially youthful. The
grown daughters ire companions as
well as children, and the color in the
mothers cheeks, the brightness in
her eyes, the roundness of her form,
all speak of Astounding health. What
is her secret? She is at the middle
age of life when so many women are
worn, wasted and faded, and yet time
has only ripened her charms. The
secret Of this matronly health and
beuaty may be told in the brief
phrase, DR.. Pierces' Favorite Pre-
scription. The general health of
woman is so intimately related to
local health Of the delicate womanly
organs, that where these are diseased,
the whole body must suffer.
"Favorite Prescription dries the
del ilitating drains, heals liberation
and Inflammation, cures female
weakness and imparts to the delicate
female organs natural vigor and
vitality. Women who have lost their
health and their beauty have been
made..ssrobust and rosy checked by
the use of this marvellous medicine.

Limited the Edition.

The late king of Prussia once sent to
an aid-de-camp, Colonel Malachowsky,
who was brave, but poor, a small port
folio, bound like a book, in which were
deposited 500 crowns. Some time after
ward he met the officer and said to
him:
"Ah! Well, how did you like the new
work which I sent to youy"
Excessively, sire" replied the colo
mel. 81 read it with such interest that
I expect the second volume with impa-
tience."
The king smiled, and when the off
GERS birthday arrived he presented him
with another portfolio, similar in every
respect to he first, but with these
words engraved upon it.:
"This book is complete in two vol

The natives of the Hawaiian Islands
considered thunder as being Mauna
Loa's echo from the clouds. This GU
rious notion has crystallized a weather
proverb which is now current among
many of the white residents Of the
islands-viz, ut will rain today;
Mauna Loa shakes the Clouds" In
this connection it may be remarked
that the early Scandinavian settlers in
Iceland believed hat there were some
mysterious and supernatural connec-
tons between the roarings of Hecla and
the "angry mutterings of Jove." In
England many Of the %peasantry still
plant the house leek-"Jupiter's beard
Ion their house roofs as a preventive
against thunder, lightning and evil
spirits, a custom which reminds one of
Charlemagne's edict, "Et habeat quis-
que supra domum suam Jovis bar
bam."
Another widespread superstition, and
one that has been noted among the
tribes and nations from China to Eng
land and from Cape Hatteras to the
Golden Gate, tells us that If the "claps''
or reports Of thunder come in even
numbers the storm will be of short
duration and very mild, but, on the
other hand, if they come in uneven
numbers, especially if the reports be
a series Of five, nine or thirteen dis
tinct claps, much loss Of life and prop
Serty will result.

EXPLAINING His Presence.

tea at a function in a suburban town,

ways, of the Statesmen.

Many years ago, when England was
engaged in foreign complications, the
first lord Of the admiralty sent Admiral
Codrington a dispatch which was most
peaceful as far as it appeared before
the public. He told him not to take
his ships into action and so forth, but
in a corner he wrote this short private
note, Go it, Ned!" And Codrington
went to Navarino and smashed up the
Turkish feet.
