BROTHER H URO.

Brother Muro remembers. When death was staring him in the face he promised that if he was saved alive he would show his gratitude to God. He was saved, and he doesn't forget to keep his promise. Annually his music sounds, his lights glow and his fire works ascend toward heaven, remind ing the thousands who see and hear that Brother Muro believes in God and is grateful to Him. And it may be re- marked that the fireworks that Brother Muro offers are good ones. So good that some think it would be a sensible idea to let him manage the city's Fourth of July fireworks. He gives the best he can to keep his VOW. and he shows good taste in his selections. Some, we suppose, continue to think he could make better use of his money, but the lesson he so conspicuously teaches is worth all it costs. Long may Brother Muro live to show his grati- tude, and when he goes to Heaven may
 he find that his music, his lights and
 his fireworks have been noticed to his credit.

DEER STOPPED THE TRAIN.

Engineer Did Not Have the Heart to
 Kill the Pretty Animal.
 Deers are to be found in the woods surrounding Worcester in much larger numbers than is commonly thought. In fact, If there was not law which pre- vented hunters from shooting them in this state, it is probable that Worcester sportsmen who have been accustomed to spend a part of their time in the Maine woods would find sport almost as good at home as in the wilderness. When several deer were liberated in this section some few years ago, the prophecy was made that they would not live and increase, but would either die from unaccustomed surroundings, or be shot.
 Very few cared to dispute the gen. eral belief and for a time 1t did certain ly look as though the deer which were liberated had either died or been killed. During the past few weeks, however, scores of the pretty animals have been seen in the vicinity of Worcester and, according to the reports, they are much tanner than is generally supposed.
 Within the past week over a dozen people have seen deer along the line of the Boston and Albany railroad, be- \ tween Rochdale and South Spencer. | In fact, the crews. especially the en- zine men, say that they hardly ever
 come from Springfield to Worcester
 and through to Boston without catch ing sight of either doe or buck, and
 sometimes both. This morning young
 doe got on the track in front of an ear
 ly train from Springfield, and when the engine approached she ran directly down the track. The animal finally jumped from the track and made her escape The engineer, who happened to care more for the does life than mak- ling fast time. slowed up, and was
 obliged to come to standstill once in
 order to save Miss Doe.
 | A deer can run fast, but it is nc match for an iron horse. so the race which lasted for about half a mile, was
 an uneven one with odds on the en- zine. After a succession of quick
 blasts from the whistle the doe jumped
 to the side of the track, disappear ing in a thicket at the side. Engin- eers on express trains which cannot be
 stopped for the four-footed animals
 near the track, say that many times
 they have barely escaped killing deer which have seemed fascinated by the on-rusfing engine and unable to es- cape. One lost leg at North Grafton
 a few months ago, but disappeared ir the woods and could not be found.
 Several times during the past few days deer and buck have been seer in a thicket near the Boston and Al bany railroad, between South Spencer and East Brookfield. Persons living ir South Spencer say that when they happened to arise more than ordinarily learly, deer have been seen within few

MORE COMING.

A writer in the New York Mail and Express attempts to disturb the peace by making a prediction that the world will be full of people in 1S9 years. For a century or more the annual increase of population for the whole world has been at the rate of one per cent. If the same rate continues for the future we shall have, seventy years hence, year. ly increase of s2,oOo,OOo, against 16,OOO,- 900 at the present time, and 14O years from now it will be 64,oo0,0Oo, or nearly the population of this country. every twelve months. And so forth and so on.
 We'll, what of it? If the price of coal is going to continue to increase and the prices of everything needed to eat and to wear are going to keep rising who would want to be one of the "popula- tion" 1S9 years from now? Let us try to eat, drink and keep warm this win ter, taking no thought for the time when the world will be fuller of people and of trouble than it is now.

Sir Frederick Bramwell made queer suggestion at the recent meeting of the British association for the advancement of science, concerning e.adoption of a universal language. His idea is that the leading powers should adopt the Italian language as the proper organ for a world speech, and, in order to force it upon mankind, should agree that after twenty years no one under their control should be eligible to any appointment to office, high or low, un- less the person could talk and write Italian.

home In New Rochelle. leaving an estate
OF over 100000.
