A modern miracle appears to have
been witnessed here in the case of
Miss Helen Grundy. a girl of Is years.
who for Is months has been a cripple,
through tuberculosis of the hip The
girl was at church, Sunday, and she
was the subject OF several sermons by
various pastors in this town and VI
einity. Miss Grundy suddenly became
well one night last week after the
death watch had been set and three
physicians had told the family that
she probably could not live through
the night. TO all appearances she was
then dying. Miss Grundy came to
Skowhegan with her parents from So
ion about a year ago and for nearly
two years she has been afflicted with
the disease and in that time hTs not
been without crutches and five months
ago she was forced to take her bed
One day, last week, she grew worse
and the physician stated to the family
that she would probably not live
through the night. The grandmother,
who was watching in the morning
hours was suddenly aroused by the
girl calling her to the bedside, declar-
ing herself we'll. The grandmother
thought It only a rallying spell, but to
the surprise of all the girl continued
better and at six o'clock WAS out of
bed. She called for her clothes and,
without assistance, dressed herself
and walked to the dining room to eat
breakfast with the family Physicians
have accorded a thorough examination
and declare all traces of the disease
have disappeared.

GRASS As FACTOR IN LIFE
Gomez Next In Importance to Water,
Light and Air AZ s~enotaetor
" Raee.

Next in Importance to the divine
profusion Of water, light and air,
those three great physical facts
which render existence possible, may
be reckoned the universal benefcence
of grass. Exaggerated by tropical
heats and vapors to the gigantic
cane congested with its saccharine
secretion, or dwarfed by polar rigors
to the fbrous hair Of northern soli-
tudes, embracing between these ex-
tremes the maize with its resolute
pennons, the rice plant of southern
swamps, the wheat, rye, barley, oats
and other cereals, no less than the
humber verdure of the hillside, pas
ture and prairie in the temperate
zone, grass is the most widely dis
tributed of all vegetable beings, and
it is at once the type of our life and
the emblem of our mortality. Lying
in the sunshine among the butter
cups and dandelions of May, scarce
ly higher in intelligence than the
minute tenants of that mimic will
derness, our earliest recollections are
Of grass; and when the ftful wrangle
Of the market and forum is closed
grass heals over the scar which our
descent into the bosom of the earth
has made and the carpet Of the in
FAINT becomes the blanket of the
1ead.-From the Writings of John

CHINA TEA.

Some interesting statistics have
been gathered with reference to the
great decline in China's tea trade.
From 1878, when tea was first in
troduced into England, until 1887
China held exclusively the tea trade
of the world. Then India began to
enter the tea market. The Chinese
tea trade reached high tide in 1886
with a total export of 10000, 900
pounds. In 1884 China furnished
about " per cent. of the worlds to-
tai, India and Ceylon 1S per cent,
and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent.
But at last accounts, when the total
consumption had increased to 644,-
100000 pounds, China contributed
only 80 per cent, India and Ceylon

PROVES ant HAS MEMORY
Scientist Makes Series Of Experiments
Showing How Insects Res
son Things Out.

Experiments are continually be-
ing made to test the memory Of ami
mails, such as the elephant, the dog,
the bull but it would seem a thank
less undertaking to ascertain wheth-
er the ant has a memory. Neverthe-
less, a scientist in South America
thinks he has succeeded. Isolating
two of the largest specimens of trop-
ical ants he could find, he SO ar
ranged their receptacle that they
could get no food without climbing
over a circular slant into another
compartment. Over this slant, when
the food was not there, he placed a
crimson cord and the ants very soon
learned to interpret the signal and
never attempted to climb over it.
Thinking, after a time, that there
might be something in the color
which repealed them automatically,
as the bull is affected unpleasantly
by red, he replaced the red cord by
cords of varying c%olors, always with
the same result after the ants had
made a few excursions over the
slant and come back hungry. Then
he tried plain cloth and even paper,
but the result was invariably the
same. After a number of trials the
ants refused to climb the slant when
there was any sort Of "signal." Fl
nally the scientist reversed the sig
nal, having food beyond the slant
only when it was visible; and after
an infinite number of trials the ants
accommodated themselves to the
change.

EXCHANGE OF coURTEsIEs.

When j. W. Mitchell was the Rus
sian correspondent of the Associated
Press the head of the German branch
of the house of Rothschild visited
st. Petersburg, and it became Nit
chells business to find out what had
brought the great inancier to that
city. Mitchell, who is famous for
his bralliant brain and his Outlook
ing clothes, found and interviewed
Rothschild.
At the close of the talk, the money
king, thinking that Mitchell was a
poor fellow on the verge of starva-
ton, fshed out of his vest pocket a
sovereign, and, with a ~patronizing
air, handed it to him.
WFereupon the newspaper writer,
producing a SIS gold piece, extended
it TO Rothschild, and said, in a bored
manner: "Have one of mine."-Pop

"LABBY" HAD HIS TROUBLES
What the Intelligent compositor Did
to One Of Great London Edl-
tors illusions.

The following reprints from La
bouchere's Truth are valuable as in
dicating that the compositor's
troubles are not of recent origin.
A new beauty has appeared upon
the horizon of London. She is from
The Channel islands and is the daugh-
ter Of the Dean of st. Helier's. Mr..
Millais was the troubadour who first
told nations that she was beautiful
by offering to paint her portrait. So
ciety has gone mad over her. The
other day at a party she was positive
ly mobbed and more than one duch-
ess climbed upon a chair to gaze
upon her. Since the advent of this
beautiful heiress all former social
lions waste their dewdrops on the
desert air and vainly roar; no one
pays more attention to them than
if they were common puppy dogs
MAY "A, 1879
In a paragraph last week respect
ing the rise Of a new beauty on the
London armament the word 'heir-
ess" was by a printers error substi-
tuted for "1ioness." The lady in ques-
ton is not an heiress. She is mar
ried to Mr.. Langtry, a well known
yachting man.-(May 81, 1871
