1wo Little Children Discovered in q


Cor-Wdifs for Some one TO Claim.
Rochester Democrat


In making his rounds at the Central
Depot Wednesday morning, Depot Mas
Ter Smith found two little children quiet
ly sleeping in a car that had been IN
coupled from an Eastern train. The
girl was apparently about five years of
age, and the boy year older, and, as
they could give no lucid account of them
selves, Mr.. Smith took them to the York
House and gave them in charge of the
landlady, Mrs. Cleminson, who did
everything possible for their comfort.
They were too greatly frightened to tell
much about themselves, but after repeat
ed inquiry it was learned that their
names were George and Lizzie Mason,
aad that man named johnson had plac-
ed them in car at New York. They
also said that their father and an older
sister had left for England, and that they
were 10 go TO an aunt named Davis, liv-
ing somewhere in Canada. From their
clothing 1t was thought that they had re-
Gently left some Orphan Asylum, but
any additional information in regard to
them was impossible to obtain. 1t is not
probable that any one could have placed
them on the train to make the journey
alone, and it is to be presumed that their
escort missed the train at some station
along the line. Superintendent McGone-
gal is now making inquiries in regard to
them, and their guardian in all probabi l.
ty will soon be found.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from disease of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried in
Europe and reported to a scientific con-
gress held at StrasbOurg. SiXty-seven
cases of sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post mortem ex-
animation. In these only two were
found who had died of disease of the
heart. Nine out of sixty-six had died
of apOpleXy, while there were fOrty-six
cases of congestion of the lungs-that
is the lungs were so full of blood that
they could not work, there not being
of air to enter to support life. The
causes that produce congestion of the
lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, cos
tive bowels, sitting still, chilled after
being warmed with labor or rapid
walking, going too suddenly from close,
heated rooms into the cold air, especi-
ally after speaking, and sudden depress-
ing news. operating on the blood. The
causes of sudden death being known,
an avoidance of them may serve TO
lengthen many valuable lives which
would otherwise be lost under the YER
dict - heart complaint" This diseaseis
supposed to be inevitable and incura-
Bile hence many do not take the pains
they should to avoid sudden death if
they knew 1t lay in their power.

DEAR Mr.. Hawkeyc: Should one
take ones soup from the side or the end
ofthe spoon? EDWARD"


Oh, well, if you've got SO stuck up and
proud that you have got to eat with a
spoon, we don't suppose it makes any
difference, but we should think you
would have enough reverence for the
good old days and the grand old simplicity
of better times, and take your soup as your
father did; blow it until it is cold, then
lift the plate with both hands, and empty
it by steady and long continued suction,
making Il Tipping sound with your lips at
tha conclusion Of The services to indicate
to the waiter that you are ready for the
next course. 1t is these new tangled
ideas that are driving the old simplicity
ard the old purity out of sty le and exis-
sence, and crowding society to the edge
of the awful precipice that leads and tot
ters in crumbling weakness over the dark
and fathomless abyss of corruption and
destruction. .-Hawkeye.

LIGHTING A MATCH.-The mate ch- box,
the wall and the carpet are the three sub
stances upon which the aver ago woman
will consent to light a match, and it
should be noticed, as curious and as yet
unexpainable fact, that no woman in any
circumstances dreams of lighting matches
on the under side ofa marble mantlepiece
Man, on the other hand, regards the
mantlepiece as the natural complement
Of the match, and if lie happens to be
near one when about to light a match,
uniformly scratches It on the under side
of the marble. Some men prefer to light
matches on the soes Of their boots, except,
of course, when The soes in question are
damp. The vast majority of male human
beings, whether men, boys or advocates OF
female dress reform, light matches on
their trousers.-N. Y. Times.

UTILIZING BITS OF SoAP.-Instead of
throwing away the pieces Of soap which
become too small for convenient hand
ling, make square flannel bag oisuitable
size; leave one end partly open, and put
in the pieces as they collect; when i. is
full baste up the opening and it makes a
nice bath-tub arrangement. Another
way is to add little water, set them in q
tin on the stove, and let them simmer
slowly. When cold, you will have toler-
ably good soft soap, just the thing for
putting in your wash boiler or washing
tins with. Or by evaporating part of the
water you may get the soap hard enough
TO be nodded into small cakes, which can
be dried for use.

HALIFAX. Nov. 22.-The flag officer of the feet
does not expect the SarmatIan before Sunday. He
fears that storm is brewing. and that the ma
neuvres of the feet will have to be aban-
doned. II the weather be fair when the
steamer arrives the fleet will go out rainbow
fashion. with colOrs flying and return in double
line, with the Sarmatian leading and the Bellero
phon and Black Prince each quarter and the rest
close behind. Whether the Sarmatian is sighted to-
morrow Sunday, the grand entry will not take
place till Monday.


The Princess Louise will leave the steamer with.
out delay and remain at the Admrars house until
the afternoon Of the reception day, when she will
return to the Sarmatian and make public landing.
The reception is to be conducted on an imperial
basis the Viceroy and Princess being the guests Of
the naval officers of the station and not of the
Provincial authorities.


The reception committee completed its pro-
gramme to-day, and preparations are rapidly going
forward The fourth estate is to have the privilege
of clogging the royal progress from Halifax. No
room can be had in the royal tram for news
paper correspondents, of whom there are
fifty here; they TO follow in special train,
and the regal party will remain all night at Camp

sumption Is that none exists to he exposed
else, with the sagacity, shrewdness, efficien-
cy and cussedness Of the investigators, some
thing Of the kind would have been brought
to light during these long and tedious
months of search.


Not q solitary Radical prisoner had been
captured nor scalp taken to adorn the belt
of regiment Of rapacious and Jealous
smellers after corruption, who have been
ranging at will through the Depart
Inents of the Government for nearly or
quite half year. If this then, is what
Democrats came to Congress for, as their
subsidized organ intimates then they have
proved the saddest failures as statesmen
known to the page Of history. Let them
settle with the people for the vast amount
of money squandered in fruitless search for
Radical corruption" This is Democratic
economy, and the people begin to study and
understand it,


The Democrats may not thank their Or
gan for this exposure Of the real objects for
which they came to Congress. But if they
do not, the Republicans will, for the con-
fcssion is made and the lame and impotent
conclusion of their work is recorded history.
Now let the people be educated in Demo-
cratic craftsmanship, economy, and success.
It is rich theme for lecturing. The season
has been opened here now let the Rcpubli-
cans push on the work.

fairer, particularly when we take into

The line Of this road is through the
richest country in the world, certainly
the finest cotton country, and this road
when once built will open II up not
only TO close communication with
