on a farm in this place and it was not
until war time that he saw the outside
world and succumbed to the specula-

While in New York in 1861 selling
lumber he was induced to take Il
flyer" in the stock market and in
less than an hour he had cleared $40.
He decided to stay right in the metrop-
oils and play the game and in the next
ten years he was associated with such
well-k known capitalists as Jay Cooke,
Jay Gould and Russell Sage. lie ac-
cumulated large fortune in buying

returned to Waterford and has spent
the rest of his life selling produce and
notwithstanding upon his ten years in
Wall Street.
He was married in 1S47 and leaves

DISEASE IN DUST CLOUDS.

The danger that citizens face when en-
countering a dust cloud in the street in
cludes. according to Dr. W. Gilman
Thompson, in the Medical Journal, a
wonderful list of disease, running the
gamut from conjunctivitis of the cornea
to chronic heart disease, acute inhalation
disease and chronic catarrhal diseases
After a day or two of gusty winds"
says the doctor. IAN epidemic of acute
coughs and colds and catarrhs is al
ways realized not only among those
who suffer from chronic respiratory all
ments. but among those in previous
health" Dry dirt remains comparative
ly harmless when at rest, but in the
streets 1t seldom remains in a given
street the more finely It becomes pull
verized and the more widely dsseminat-
ed. The remedy? This. too, lies largely
in the hands Of the women. Let each
one see that her own premises are kept
clean; no ashes or garbage of any sort
allowed to accumulate or dropped on the
walks by careless collectors. Keep the
waste paper or material that may be
blown into the street IN front of your
house picked up, and If the municipal
wheels, supposed to keep the city clean
ing machine in operation, seem to be
losing their hold, raise your voice in
protest No 'mere man is going to
hold out against a feminine chorus OF
prOtestation.
What time is garbage collected?
"What time are the ashes collected?
"What time is your street swept?
How thoroughly is all this work
done?"
So runs the scrced printed on cards
and widely distributed a few days ago
by the Riverside branch of the Woman's
league of New York, The answers were
unanimous characterizing the ways of
the street cleaners as Inexperienced
and shftless," and the delinquencics of
the department manifold. An official
brace is now expected of the recalci-
trant commissioner. Does not this sug-
gestion bear passing on'

The king opened the door of a small
inner room gently. 1t was a sleeping
chamber, and pile of feminine finery

snatched from the heap a long red
scarf of quaint device, and, turning,
fled downstairs again.
Meanwhile Margaret, daughter to
