9twO rrnERAL DoNATIoNs

<, TWO LIBERAL DONATIONS. Mrs. Kate EIutchesbn Morrissette writes the following of Dr. Messing's article in Sundays Advertiser:
 We women of Montgomery have learn ed to note carefully what Dr. Messing writes. and we gave peculiar heed and special welcome yesterday to his words on 'The Child Whose Necessities are Greater than my ChilTs." He quotes Victor Hugo, born when the last century was but two years old, who led, by his sympathies, in that discovery of the child" which Fiske and Drummond later pursued with the aid of science and re- ligion. Little Garvoche and the child Cosette are children of a brain and heart devoted to the service of humanity with the recognition that this service is raised to its highest power and takes most en- during forms when given to the child. Hugos private life bore witness to his creed: an ideal father and grandfather, he was among the first who gathered poor children together and gave them regularly the country outings now so great a fad with city philanthropists. He spoke increasingly Of educating children and said of murderers that their heads ought not to be cut off because they were, in childhood, left empty workshops for the devil
 His actions were as generous and free as his words-but they are read now the world wide over. We all know of many beautiful things Dr. Messing has done for the poor; how ready he is to help. us do the things we would for our city. Therefore, he has right to speak. and we love to listen to him.
 May tell you of two beautiful inci- dents of recent occurrence eloquent of love of little children?
 A Montgomery County school teacher, a young woman. was employed to teach the Free Kindergarten maintained by St Johns Guild; when paid her salary she returned large proportion of 1t to the little school, saying. 'I am so glad to make some small expression of grateful ness for what you good women did for me in my school days"
 Another young woman. employed in a family as tutor for July. gave to this Free Kindergarten, in which her sympa- thies had become enlisted, the entire wages for this summer weather work.
 The ladies, appreciating the value of these donations, are reserving them for the building they hope to erect for the little children, because they wish to put the sum in some enduring shape.
 How true 1t is that "the measure of life is the interests we make our own" How immeasurable are lives devoted to the rights and the interests of childhood.

TO KILL HER CATTLE.

A New Brunswick special to the
New York Times says:
Mrs. Evelyn NJ. Murray, owner and
occupant of the old Snyder Frelipg-
huysen farm on the road from Somer-
vile to South Branch, is disposing
of the live stock on the farm bv
having it put TO death, although the
stock is in the best of health.
Mrs. Murray, reputed to be worth
over a million, is the wealthiest
woman in Somerset county. She is
prominent in the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals.
and has horror of having any suf-
fering cone to the animals on her
farm. Many of the animals have
been on the place since she bought it.
She does not believe in eating meat,
and will not allow any OF her stock
to be sold, lest it get into the hands
OF the butcher. Or late she has been
hsvlng ali the calves born Oh the
place chloroformed immediately after
birth 50 that they will not become
veal. Last week, by her direction,
DE-. E. z. Voorhees,, veterinary of
SomervilIe, killed four full-grown
COWS aud bull about 3 years old by
poison injection that brought the
quickest death possible to them. Mrs.
Murray had planned this for about
two years. Two dogs were put to
death at the same time, and Mrs.
Murray is preparing a systematic
slaughter OF the rest of her stock,
including two fine carriage horses
and an old horse and mule which
have been for many years on the
farm. She has given up driving,
and goes about the country in a large
automobile.
DR.. VOORHEES,, the veterinary, pro-
tested against killing the healthy
animals, but finally aided in the
work at Mrs. Murray's orders With
tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Murray "a said to have other
peculiar ideas regarding her farm.
Crops are raj sed, but never harvested, ,
and wither away in the fields, while
food supplies for the stock are pur-
chased in large quantities.
Mrs. Murray has no children, but
"a niece and nephew live with her.
She is a woman of middle age. She
has house in New York city, which
she usually occupies in the winter.

w. J. Bryan has run across q
new argument against free silver,
which may explain the violent oppa.

The following dialogue took place in
1896 between q Kentucky Democrat
and an old colorsd man Who worked
for him:

Uncle Abe, "0h, yss. that il what

Democrat: "Whas do you know
about the money question, uncle?"
Uncle Abe: II know that want
round money. I've always carried
round money, aud I don't want any
three cornea money. Why, three
cornersd money would wear . hole
in your pocket. No, sir, I want round
money"
Now this Misunderstanding Of
terms may account for the large
Republican vote in 1896. The
Republicans may have mistaken

and Stree coinage" for "three- cor

be more careful to explain the words

the good through struggle, she gets

own folly and perverseness. The os.

use imposed upon them through cen.
turies Of painful necessity that com.
PEELED him to run or starve. The
weak ones died, the strong grew
stronger and stronger for their strug-
giles. The peacock spreads to the
sun his rainbow radiance which it
has taken Thousands of years to de-
velop. The imperfectly csparisoned

ger and stronger. Its perilous iso-

Dh. Andrew Neldon, of New York
performed the operation of grating
an ear upon the head of a Western

AGenerally speaking, he is a

ne lost one ear, I don't know. It
appears to have been cut off with a
sharp instrument. Ibelieve he says
it was accidental, as 1 never asked
him to explain.
"The men were placed in opposite
directions upon an elongated bed.
One-haIf of the volunteers ear, the
upper half, was severed, together with
about four inches of the akin behind
the ear. This was twisted around and
fitted to q freshly prepared wound
upon nay PATIENTS head. The half
ear was held in place by bandages,
and the two men bound SO they can
not move their heads.
"They will maintain this position
for at least twelve days to allow the
