To be in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child?and then ?

iKj&W ?Longfellow.
When Cissy Denzil came of age (she
was ail orrthan she determined that
she would indulge her own caprices to
the fullest extent. She sent l'or her
aunt, an inoffensive old lady of sixty,
to chaperone her, and rental a house in
Brvanston square, not for the sake of
the commanding situation, but because
it was a dull neighborhood, respectably
k fashionable and calculated to exercise
^ a soporific effect on her lively imagination.
The agent declared the house to
be thoroughly well-drained and upholstered,
and, as it happened to please
her, in less than a week she was as
much at home there as if she had
lived in town all her life.
Cissy Den/.il undoubtedly possessed
a dangerous originality. Without
intending it, she was a constant thorn
in her aunt's side. Xo sooner had Miss
Webster recovered from one moral
shotver-bath than she received another.
Iow, Miss Webster did not like showeritlis
; they gave her cold and interipted
her in the pursuit of the whole
ity of woman, which was, in her i
se, to eat, drink and dress well, to
> to church regularly, and to awaken j
ssy to a sense of her many shortmings.
But Cissy merrily refused to be
used. She was not at all overtimed
by her iniquities. " I do like
see things for myself," she would
y. "What is the use of living if 1
1 to be always .wrapped up in cotton
x)l, taken out for an airing, and then !
oueht back acain like those impossi-;
Sifble dolls whiclT children buy in the
MgaLowther arcade? How can I live my
|^: J life if I do not know what existence
Jfe'- really is like ? Owing to my ignorance
l$?,of the world I shall make some dread ***
ful mistake, and then it will be all
your fault, aunty. Will it not, Mr.
Singleton ?"
Mr. Singleton was an artist who
readily commanded a large price for
his pictures. He was an old man, and
had known Cissy Denzil from her
childhood. To him she was wont to
appeal when Miss "Webster became
plaintiff. Cissy amused hin.; he abetted
her vagaries, provided that he saw
they were harmless.
"I did not know that you had such
a taste for realism," he replied. "Evidently
Miss Webster will have a bad
time of it, unless we can cure you."
"Poor aunty," said the girl, crossing
the room and kneeling caressingly at
jL. the old lady's feet. "I am sure that I
shall some day give you a fit."
" If you want to get a little insight
into what human nature really is,"
said Singleton, jokingly, " come to my
studio any morning and study the
models. Put nn a plain dress and bonnet,
and get ih ?re early. Ten o'clock
will be soon enough. You can easily

litter c'eared-away, and you can watch
me paint, sit, or do what you like. I
often see twenty or thiity models in a
day. Patient Griselda, Cardinal "Wolsey.
Fair Rosamond, Lucrezia Borgia
and other well known characters come
to me by the dozen. If I don't want
them, they try the next studio. Artists

"I am to 'sit' on the usual terms?" j
asked Cissy. "What are the usual j
terras, Mr. Singleton ?"
" A shilling an hour, and luncheon j
found," said Singleton. " In your case, j
Cissy, the luncheon shall be unexcep- {
tionable."
"Agreed." gayly cried Cissy. "I)o!
not groan, aunty." (Miss Webster always
made sepulchral noises when she J
did not approve of anything.) "There
is nothing wrong in going to a studio, I
especially if it be swept and garnished." j
Singleton went away and speedily j
^forgot all about the matter. Cissy re- J
~~ membered. ?
The next morning Cissy started for
Holland Park road, intent upon viewing
a new phase of existence. She

dainty bric-a-brac. Kollo was of!
opinion that all bric-a-brac should be
made of tin, cast iron or other solid j
metals, and testified his joy at being j
freed from the dangerous vicinity of !
eggshell china with many a bark and
gambol.
Without misadventure this modern j
Una and her lion reached Singletons' |
studio, Cissy's fair face glowing with j
health and beauty, and Kollo much ex
cited by many a fruitless chase after j
cats, which would slip between rail-1
ings when he had nearly reached them.
Cissy and Kollo entered the studio, j
There was no one there.
Singleton's studio (he shared it in'
common with Hugh Darrell, a young
fellow-artist, though Cissy knew not
the fact) was a lofty room, somethirty
feet square. It was hung round wi th
the usual artistic properties; bits of
old oak occupied the corners, a suit of
armor peeped from underneath the
glowing hues of a Smyrna carpet, and
at the further end of the room was a
dais of empty egg-boxes, evidently intended
for the models. There was
one small picture on an easel, with the J
face slightly sketched in, representing
^A??lAi?r?JAAl7inr? /lomool rrr\in f K rAiir?V* I

a wood.
"Make yourself at home, Rollo,"
said Cissy; "some one is sure to come
presently."
Rollo did so?ion the unarmored part !
of the Smyrna carpet.
" What the deuce is that dog?I beg j
your pardon," said Darrell, entering
the studio suddenly.
Bg "He is my dog," demurely said i
jP Cissy. "Is not Mr. Singleton coming
H "jfo; he has been called away to
Ep the country. If it is not a rude ques.'B$
tion, may I ask who you are?"
Bp " Certainly ; I am Mr. Singleton's j
Kg ' Then allow me to point out to you,
M.in the politest possible manner in the
? world, that it is not usual for the dogs
?wjien they have dogs?of young
M persons who act as models to repose
.Aft upon a valuable carpet like that."
^ " Take him off, then," said Cissy, irritated
at being called " a young per|
son," and making a sign to Rollo not
to move.
Darrell approached Rollo, and measnredhis
length on the floor.

"You
see. I am afraid that ho will
not stir,'1 said Cissy.
Darrell dusted himself in silence.
There was a perplexed look on his face.
No ordinary model would behave so.
" I ought to order you out of the studio,"
lie said, "only the fact is my
model has disappointed me, and I was
looking for another when youcamein."
"Shall 1 do?" asked Cissy, very
much amused, and picturing to herself
Miss "Webster's face when she should
hear of this adventure. " "What are
your terms?" in her most businesslike
iiiaiiiiri.
"Xinepence an hour."
" I think that is rather mean. Mr.
Singleton always pays a shilling an
hour and luncheon, lie told me so."
" Oh ! Singleton is rich and famous;
I am not."
" I will agree to it if you will give
Hollo some lunch."
" Done," he. said, laughing at her
coolness. lie had hither regarded her
with anything but professional eyes.
If he could only transfer that lovely
face to canvas iie felt certain of success.
She was admirably adapted for
(Knone, if she would but look sorrowful
enough.
"And now, having arranged the
preliminaries, what am I to do?" she
asked.
"Will you kindly mount the dais?"
said Darrell.
" What! Those egg-boxes !"
" Yes."
" Are thev not rather uncomfortable?"
" (Knone ought to look uncomfortable.
You will be of no use unless you
do."
"I never heard that (Knone sat upon
egg-boxes. Wasn't she the wife of
Paris?"
"Yes; he abandoned her. She comes
weeping through the wood. Xow

him ; that lie has returned to her,
wounded by the poisoned arrow of
Philoctetes; and that she has refused
to heal the wound. Realize the situation."
" I am afraid that I cannot realize
all that at once," said Cissy, settling
himself as comfortably as she could ;
j "1 never did think Paris worth crying
about."
Darrell got rid of the former face,
and sketched in the new one. lie was
a young artist of great genius, and
realiy anxious of proving so to the
world. It was an exceptional face
which lie endeavored to copy.
At the end of two hours Iiollo
leisurely got off the Smyrna carpet and
yawned.
"He wants his lunch," said Cissy.
"Oh, very good," said Darrell, helplessly.
"That's in the compact,is it
not?"
" Yes."
"What docs he generally have?"
" Biscuits," scntentiously.
" Hut I haven't any."
" Then you must buy some."
" Cool, for a model," thought Dar??l
i?j. 1.,. 1.?Q+ l,ic l,.,t

As lie was going out she stopped
him.
" My eighteenpence," she said, liolding
out a small, white hand.
' Are you afraid I shall not pay you V"
he angrily asked.
"You might not comeback." she
answered.
lie gave her eighteenpence and went
round the corner to the baker's fur
biscuits. "When he returned she had
disappeared, dog and all. Xo token of
her presence remained, but one expensive
little glove on the egg-boxes, and
a lovely, mournful face peeping out
from the canvas.
lie took up the little glove curiously,
and put it into his pocket.
"Aunty, dear," said Cissy, gravely,
that evening, "my imagination is
quieted at last. I have had an adventure
which might have proved a very
serious one, only the man was a gentleman.
My visit to the artistic world
has earned me?eighteenpence."
Darrell took the sketch home and
painted with feverish ardor. For some
reason, unaccountable to himself ev en,
he never mentioned the matter to
Singleton. (Enone was worked at
from morning until night. lie sent it
to the Academy, where it was accepted,
and hung in a very good place.

to part with the picture ; it was
not for sale, he said, but he would
gladly execute commissions.
It chanced one day that he took
Singleton to see the (Enone, explaining
as he did so the reason lor his reticence.
" Something tells me," he said,
earnestly, "that I shall meet that girl
again. She was as sweet and true as
my own sisters. It may seem folly '
and madne-s to you. Singleton, but her ;
face haunts me. I shall never forget
her."
"I cannot think of any model of ,
that sort, but I know this face," said
Singleton, as they halted before the j
picture. "I knew it when the girl
was a little creature of four, and am ,
not likely to forget her now. "Where
did you see her, Darrell? You have
caught the likeness irarvelously." !
" lEnone seeking Paris," read out a (
clear, sweet voice behind them. "I ,
wonder how I shall look, aunty? That !
escat>ade seems to have had a more
lasting result than you imagined." ,
Singleton turned round. "How do
you do, Cissy V Permit me, Miss
Webster, to present my friend, Hugh ,
Darrell."

Presence of Mind.
Four otlicers sitting in a bungalow .
in India, writes Miss C. C. Ilopley in 1
her recent book, "Snakes," were deep 1
in a game of whist. Suddenly one of :
them, turning deadly pale, made signs
that no one should move or speak. In
a hushed whisper he exclaimed :
"Keep still, for heaven's sake! I
? * t -- is? ?. . IM
leei a coora crawmig uuuui my n-gr>.
lie knew that timidity was one of
the strongest characteristics of the
snake, and that, if not disturbed or
alarmed, it would in due time depart
of its own accord. All present were
accustomed to the stealthy intruders,
and did not, happily, lose their presence
of mind. They very noiselessly
bent down so as to take a survey beneath
the table, when, sure enough,
there was the unwelcome visitor, a fullsized
cobra, twining and gliding about
the legs of their helpless friend. Literally,
death was at ins feet. A rnove!
ment, a noise, even an agitated tremble
might have been fatal.
Luckily one of the four was acquainted
with the milk-loving habit of ;
the cobra, and, rising, with quiet and j
cautious movements from his seat, not,
duriner to hasten, vet dreading delay, I
! he managed to steal from the room,
I while he signed the rest to remain motionless.
Quickly he crept back with a
saucer of milk in his hand, and, still
with noiseless movements, set the saucer
under the table as close to the terrible
reptile as it was safe to venture.
The fearful strain on their nerves was
happily of not long duration, for presently
they were relieved by seeing the
creature gradually untwine itself and
go to the milk. Never before did that
ollicer leap from his seat as he did
then, the moment he felt himself free
.from the coils of the cobra, and read in
the faces of his comrades that he was
saved. Short shrift, however, had Mr.
Cobra, for sticks and whip-handles
were freely administered, even before
the saucer was reached. The enemy
got rid of, the game was resumed, and
it is^vorth the while of those in India
to bear this escape in mind and bring
milk to the rescue in case of similar
peril.

THE BAD BOY AND HIS PA.
A FEW FRIENDS SPEND THE EVENING
AT THEIR HOUSE.
Tbc Bntl Boy OvrrlienrH mi Expcrlcncc
->Icetin? ami tlic OldUentlcinaa Gets Into
."Wore Trouble.
" What is this I hear," inquired the
grocery man of the bad boy, "about
your pa fighting a duel with the minister
in the back yard, and wounding
him in the leg, and then trying to
drown himself in the cistern? One of
your new neighbors was in here this
morning and told me there was murder
in the air at your house last night,
and they were going to have the
police pull your place as a disorderly
house. I think you were at the bot<torn
of the whole business.-'
' Oh, it's all a blame lie, and those
neighbors will find they had better
keep still about us, or we will lie
about them a little. You see. since
pa got that blacking on his face he
don't go out any, and to make it
pleasant for him ma invited in a few
friends to spend the evening. Ma has
got up around, and the baby is a daisy,
only it smells like a goat on account
of drinking the goat's milk. Ma invited
the minister among the rest, and
after supper the men went up into
pa's library to talk. Oh, you think I
am bad, don't you? but of the nine
men at our house last night, I am an
angel compared with what they were
when they were boys. I got in the bathroom
to untangle my lish line, and it
is next lo pa's room, and I could hear
everything they said, but I went
away 'cause I thought the conversation
would hurt my morals. They
would all steal when they were boys,
hut darned if 1 ever stole. Pa has
stole over a hundred wagon-loads of
watermelons, one deacon used to rob
orchards, another one shot tame ducks
belonging to a farmer, and another
tipped over grindstones in front of the
village store at night, and broke them
and run, another used to steal eggs
and go out into the woods and boil
them, and the minister was the worst
of the lot, cause he took a seine, with
some other boys, and went to a stream
where a neighbor was raising brook
trout, and cleaned the stream out, and
to ward off suspicion he went to the
man the next day and paid him a dollar
to let him fish in the stream, and
then kicked because there were no
trout, and the owner found the trout
were stolen ana laiu it to some jnncn
boys. I wondered, wlien these men
were telling their experience, if they
ever thought of it now when they
were preaching and praying and taking
up collections. I should think
they wouldn't say a boy was going to
the bad right off 'cause he was a little
wild nowadays, when he has such an
example. Well, lately somebody lias
been burgling our chicken coop, and
pa loaded an old musket with rock
salt, and said lie would till the fellow
lull of salt if he caught him, and
while they were talking upstairs ma
heard a rooster squawk, and she went
to the stairway and told pa there was
somebody in the hen house. Pa
jumped up and told the visitors to follow
him and they would see a man
running down the alley full of salt,
and he rushed out with the gun, and
the crowd followed him. Pa is
shorter than the rest, and he passed
under the first wire clothesline in the
yard all right, and was going
for the hen-house on a jump,
when his neck caught the second wire
clothesline just as the minister and
two of the deacons caught their necks
under the other wire. You know how
a wire, hitting a man on the throat,
will set him back, head over appetite.
Well, sir, I was looking out the back
window, and 1 wouldn't be positive,
but I think they all turned back
somersaults and * struck on their
ears. Anyway, pa did, and the gun j
must have Deen cocKea, or ic sirucK
the hammer on a stone, for it went
off, and it was pointed toward the
house, and three of the visitors got
salted. The minister was hit the
worst, one piece of salt taking him in
the hind leg, and the other in the back,
and he yelled as though it was dynamite.
I suppose when you shoot a man
with salt it smarts, like when you get
corned beef brine on your hands. They
all yelled, and pa seemed to have been
knocked silly, some way, for lie pranced
around and seemed to think he had
killed them. He swore at the clothesline,
and then I missed pa and heard a
splash like when you throw a cat in
the river, and then I thought of the
cistern, and 1 went down and we look
pa by the collar and pulled him out.
Oh, he was awful damp. Xo, sir, it
was no duel at all, but a naxident,
and I didn't have anything to do with
it. The gun wasn't loaded to kill, and
the salt only went through the skin,
but those men did yell. Maybe it was
my chum that stirred up the chickens,
hut ^ ?inn't. know. He has nut c;>m
menced to lead a different life yet, and
lie might think it would make our
folks sick if nothing occurred to make
them pay attention. I think where a
family has been having a good deal of
jxercise, the way ours has, it hurts
:hem to break oft' too suddenly. But
;he. visitors went home, real quick,
ifter we got pa out of the cistern, ana
;he minister told ma he always felt,
tvhen he was in our house, as though
le was on the verge of a yawning
rater, ready to be engulfed any minjte,
and he guessed he wouldn't come
my more. Pa changed his clothes
ind told ma to have them wire clothesines
changed for rope ones."
"Wonders in Store for Us.
Remarkable as have been the advances
to which electricity can be put,
iccording to Professor Melville Bell
:he future has even greater surprises
in store for us. lie thinks the time
will come when ele -trical and tele- j
phonic messages will be sent without
wires. The message bearer will be the
rays of the sunlight. The so-caliecl
Tirrtrtcal action is simply vibrations in
:he air, which produce certain results
it dis'ant points; and Professor liell
is of the opinion that inventive genius
will yet enable us to make use of imponderable
agents to transmit messages
between distant localities. Indeed,
there are enthusiasts who now think
that we will ultimately be able to communicate
with sentient beings in other
planets. It has been demonstrated
that the materials which compose the
heavenly bodies are identical, and it is
a fair inference that creatures corresponding
to our own race, with the
same kind of faculties, people them.
If so, we may perhaps yet have a
friendly chat with the inhabitants of
Venus and Mars, and probably other
worlds in solar systems beyond our
own.? Deniorist.
Iu the Lions' Den.
Great excitement followed in Brussels
when it was announced that the
Marchioness de llautefeuille would
enter the; lions' den with IJidel, the
celebrated lion tamer. There are
seven lions in the den. The menagerie
was crammed. Bets were given
and taken that she would withdraw
at the last moment. The skeptics
were wrong. At the appointed hour
Bidel appeared with the Marchioness
de llautefeuille leaning on his arm.
She was dressed in a very elegant costume
of black velvet trimmed with
black lace. Bidel entered the den.
She followed. He twice made the
seven lions walk in Indian file before
her. She w;is pale?that was the only
tribute she naid to feminine nature,
which shrieks at the sight of a mouse
and screams if a garter-snake edges up
to her. The audience applauded.
Bidel complimented her.
Mediciual Qualities of the Tomato.
As an incentive to farmers to see
that tomatoes are well represented in
their gardens, a writer in Home and
Farmer dilates on their medicinal
qualities: " Their slight acidity has a
cooling effect and renders them very
grateful in the heat of summer, and
moreover their juice has an effect similar
to that of blue mass. So effective
is this juice that I know from experience
and observation that an abundant
use of tomatoes at all meals goes a
long way toward warding off the malarial
fevers that are common in rfome
farming districts. There are many
sections of the country where farmers'
families suffer every summer from
mild types of malarial fever, and in
such cases, while the abundant use of
tomatoes may not wholly prevent development
of the ailment, it will always
greatly alleviate it."
CZAR AI.EXAVDEB nr., EMPEBOB OT BU88IA,
[ From the A'tir York Worhl. ]
ALEXANDER III. CROWNED. !
Proclaimed Czar of KuakIr Amid Scene* of
Imperial Splendor.
Alexander III. was coronated czar of j
Russia at the Kremlin in Mobcow, the cere*
monies being investedwithimperial splendor, i
When I he imperial procession started it was
made known to those inside the cathedral by
tho renewed rinfring of bells, by sonorous
music from scores of bands, and by the
shouts of those outside. As the royal pair j
appeared at uie uoors 01 mo ptuuco mo immense
multitude immediately uncovered
their heads and burst into loud acclamations.
Even the women were bonnet bare, and the
enthusiasm was as unafi'^ted as it was
ppor.t ineous and hearty. At the head of the
royal procession, which now entered the
Kremlin, was the master of ceremonies,
flanked by herald*, richly clad and mounted 1
upon pure white horses. It was of 1
immense length, and comprised depu- (
ties from the Asiatic states of the ]
empire, students of the university, the
clergy, judges, tho nobility and prefects '
from every section of tho empire. When its
front rank reached the doors of tho palace it
was met by the emperor, wearing the white 1
uniform of a colonel of the imperial guards, 1
and by tho empress, dressed in the Russian
national costume of black velvet, richly em- 1
broiderod with diamonds, her zone girdled
with a magnificent belt of precious stones. ' 1
The empress leaned on the arm of her roya)
consort. The pair placed themselves beneath
a canopy richly wrought in silk and gold and
borno by thirty-two ganerals of high mili !
tary rank. They then took their places neat *
i!ie head of the prooossion, being directly
after the regalia. At this moment the entire '
body of the clergy emerged from the cathe- ]
dral in order to meet the regalia, which they (
publicly sprinkled with holy water and perfumed
with incense. <
On entering the portals of the cathedral
tho emperor and empress were received by (
the metropolitan of Moscow. The metro- ,
nolitans of Novgorod and Kieff presented to j
them the cross to be kissed and sprinkled J
with holy water, first the emperor and theD i
the enipr-.s?. Before the sacred images,
which flanked the doors of the cathedral, '
they knelt and bowed thair heads after which 1
they were conducted to the ancient throneof
ivory and silver. Alexander occupied the |
historical thrcna of the Czar Vladimir Monomitgue,
while the empress was seated in 1
an armchair gilded and intrusted with
jewels. The thrones were placed upon a ]
dnis erected between the two middle columns ^
of tha cathedral. Over the dais was a
canopy of scarlet velvet, suspended from the
arched roof, embroidered with gold and c
lined with silver brocade, which was worked j
with the arms of Russia and all her dependencies
in a most ingenious manner. In .
front of the thrones were two tables covered
with gold cloth, upon which were placed the ^
crowns, the orb and the scepter. None but ?
foreign princes were accommodated with e
Reals. The Russian princes and dignitaries
stood during the entire ceremony, according
to the custom of the Greek church. The dig- c
nitaries of the realm who were carrying the a
standard and seals of the empire took their
stand upon the steps of the dais. After
their majesties had been seated, the metro- e
potitnn of Nov. orod asked the emperor, in a I
loud, distinct voice, "Are you a true be- r
liever ?" The emperor, falling on his knees,
road in reply, in a clear voice, the Lord's 0
Prayer and the Apostles' Creed of the Greek v
church, the metropolitan responding " May
the trra?e of the Holy Ghost remain with
tlice," and descending from the dais. The
| following customary summons wis then '
t leu t re,,e ltd liv the bishop: a
" If there be any of you here;>:v cut know- j
ing any impediment for which Alexander, .
I son of Alexander, should not be
crowned, by the grace of God, Emperor v

I here followed the naming of fifty-six titles .
which attach only to czars), "let him come
foiward now, in the name of the holy Trinity.
and show what the impediment is, or let l
hiin remain dumb forever." I
After reading selections from the Gospel the
metropolitans of Novgorod and Kieff again 1
ascended tho dais and invested the emperor
with the imperial mantle of ermine, the (
metropolitan of Moscow sayii'g at the same t
time: "Cover and protect thy people as this
robe protects and covers thee." The emperor
rcspondid: "I will, I will, I will, God helping." '
The metropolitan of Novgorod, crossing his
hands upon the head of the emperor, then in- j:
voked the benediction of Almighty God upon ,
him and his reign, and delivered to Alexander
Iir. the crown of Russia, who placed it c
upon his own head, and, assuming the scepter
and orb, took his seat upon the throne. He c
then returned th:- insignia of his title to the
dietaries appointed to receive them, and c
called the empress, who knelt before him. I
He touched her head lightly with the crown
of the emperor, and then formally crowned
her with her own crown. The expression v
and the attitude of the empress as she knelt t
was one of sympathy with her royal hus- s
band, and touched deeply the audience. The r
czar preserved throughout a grave and
decorous dignity and a nobleness of demeanor,
which also provoked the admiration of all.
After the empress had been duly imeited
with the imperial mr.ntle and heir majesties
were both sealed again on their throties, .
the archdeacon intoned tlio imperial titles *
mid sang " Doinine salvum fac imperii- 6
torem," which was taken up and thrice re- ]
peatcd by the choir. Directly this pnrt of ,
the ceremony was finished the bells iu all
the churches of Moscow rang out in chorus,
a s.iluie of 101 guns was fired, and inside the a
cathedral ihe members of the imperial fam- ^
ily tendered their congratulations to their
majesties. The emperor then knelt and 1

The bishop of Moscow Raid aloud, in ^
behalf of this nation, a fervent prayer for c
the h ippiness of their majesties. Shouts of k
"Lone live Ihe einierur!" then rent the 1
cathedral and weie taken up by thousands (
out-iJo and carr.o 1 from mouth to month, .
until that part of the multitude who were
unable to yet inside even (he ample acreage
-jf the Kremlin caught the .-<ouiid and waved t
it in a huge volume of human gratulation to ^
tlie remotest parts of the city, where it was
speedily known that another czar of the c
Kussias had been crowned. f
The cathedral choir then sans the Te Deum, f
after which the emperor ungirt his sword,
and, accompanied by the empress and numerous
dignitaries, proceeded to the gate of
the sanctuary. There the metropolitan of 1
Novgorod anointed the emperor's forehead,
eyelids, nostrils, lips, ears, breast and hands,
at the same time exclaiming: "'Behold the c
seal of the lloly Ghost! May it keep thee e
ever ho'y." The empress was auointed only t
on the forehead. Both partook of the sacra- .
merit and then left the cathedral, wearing
their < r >wns and mantles, the emperor also 3
bearing the scepter and (ho orb. After 1
praying in tho cathedral of Michael 0
t he Archangel, their majesties returned
to the palace, escorted by a
procession which presented even a more e
splmdid spoftacle than that which escorted
them to thocatl.eJral, being now augmented
by the gorgeous sta e carnages of the im- *

wearing their crowns, sat at separate tables h
on tlirowns of unequal height. Their majes- f
ii-s were served by distinguished nobles
acting as cap-bearers, carvers, etc. The s

DEATH ON THE NEW BRIDGE.
Frightful Result of a Panic on the Eiut Itlver
IJridge?Tvi'clve Liven Lost.
Details of the horrible tragedy on the
newlycpened East River bridge?caused by
11 blockade at one of the stairways, followed
by a panic which resulted in the de ith of
twelve persons and injuries to many moreare
as follows:
'1 honsands of people were coming over
trim Brooklyn, returning from the cemeteries
where soldiers' graVas hnd been decorated,
or t iking advantage of the htliday to
see the bridge. A jam formed at 4 o'clock
a short distance above the flight of steps on
the New York anchorage. The steps are
f( urle n feet broad, and in two flights of
seven stops each, broken by a landing eight
fee! act oss. The treads of the steps are a
foot broad,and the total rise of the two flights
of steps is about nine feet. The first
jam formed in the narrowed pathway
beyond the sters. Bridge Policeman Frederick
Richards broke it up and slartedthe
line moving aga,-n. The crowd from Brooklyn
met the crowd from New York, and
atnmcd ftgain at the foot of iho st iirs. The
Brrol.lyn crtwJ co npletely covered the footpir.h
above the steps, and the New York
crcwd covered it below the steps. The
former attempted to push down and
l.e latter ta i.u.;h up. Those behind
pre sod forward, and the weakest?the
women and children?were thrust against
ilie iron railing of the steps and against the
iron trestlework which suriounds the railroad
track, and which begins at the head of
ihu steps. They screamed with pain and
terror.
Some body shouted out that there was
[larger. and the impres-ion prevailed that
the biid?'e was giving way beneath the
cri wd. At that th? crowd on the board walk
nl ove the steps pressed on toward New York
iro.e furiorsly, while thofe below who were
on the asphalt l:new they were in no
danger, and did not move. A
woman he'd her baby over the trestlework
and begged some one to take it.
Men climbed out on the trestlework and
down to the railro id tracks outside. The
bridge nun who wero stationed along the
fouth roadway procured plunks and laid
them from the ra lroad lei to the footpath
below the stairs. They did this on both
sides of the pootpath, and removed the section
of iron fence that was nearest the steps.
They pulled oat women from tt:6 jam nnd
hsl) ed i>eoi>le down the planks.
This gave the Brooklyn crowd a chance to
move, and it surged ahead for a few feet.
Bridge officers rnn along on the stringl.iece
of the trestle work nnd turned back
toward Brooklyn those who were on the
south side of the path. But as soon as
the officers hnd pnssed by these peoplo
faced round ngain. Nobody among
Li-.em or among the thousands pressing
>11 them from behind suspected the t.afieJy
hat was coming. A half dozen rough-lojkng
young men bun?hed themselves togeiher
oine three hun.lred feet above the stairs.
L'heyla d tlisir hands on each other's shoullers
and fo.ced themselves like a wedge into
tie crowd ahead, i'l.ey shouted out: "The
A: sociation can make its way through
mything."
Either the'r pushing, or the general pushng
toward I?icw York, thrust tho crowd
ihead too rapidly. They were pushed in
pite of themselves toward tho steps. They
leemed to have a horror of going over the
taps, although the flight is only five or six
eet high. They locked arms, and pushed
uriously back against tho thousands comiig
sieidily over from Brooklyn. In a
;ew minute.', at the point just above the
teps, the:e was a slow yielding to the frightul
pressure from behind, end the front of
he crowd was forced nearer nnd nearer to
he edgi. Women nnd children were scream11
g for help, nnd men were shouting conusedly.
Umbrellas, parcels and canes were
hrown over the rails at the side by people
vho nc-o led their hands t> fight their way
nit of the desperate crush.

I rjugh tho clamor of the thousands of
o.ccs, n yourg girl lost her footing nml fell
lowu the lower Hight of steps. She lay for
i moment, and *tl:ea raised herself on her
Kinds, and would have got up. But in nn)!her
moment she was buried under tho bodes
of others who fell over the steps after
ler. She was de id when they got her out,
noro than half an hour aftirward. Men
prang npon the rails at the side and wa-ed
ho crowds back from botli tho Ne.v York
itulBroilil.il files. But the peoplo continued
to surge toward the steps. No police
vero in sight. Men in the crowd lifted
heir children above t' eir he.uls to srive
hem from tho crush. 1'oople were still i ayng
their pennies nt both gates and swarmng
in.
The two extemporised side exits by way of
ilanks to the railway were insufficient to reieve
the ciu-h, and thj result was that all
hose who fell could not be reached. The I i
leoplo advancing from Brooklyn continued |
;o frll over these in front until they were
>iled in a struggling, suffocating mass at the
:0'>t of the lower stairs and on the landing
jetween the flights. Bridge officers attemptid
to reach them, but were kept back by the
Mill advancing throng. Policeman B^'gian .
Forced his way to the head of the stairs and
;'ireatened and clubbed till ho had forced a |
,vay through and tuinoJ many back.
At last the people at the New Yo. k end of
he bridge understood what was happening.
I'lie gates were closed and word was sent to
jiow the gates in Brooklyn. Messengers j
were sent to the police station in Oak street. (
I'lie police joined the bridge officers in
bearing a little space about the foot of the .
teps and in dragging to one side from
he imos of bodies the dead and the
lying. Some crawled out by themelves.
A company of the Twelfth New
i'ork regiment worked hard at dragging
hem out. Twenty-live seemed to be nearly
lead. They were laid along on the north
iiul south sides of the pathway, and the peo- .
?le from Brooklyn passed on between them,
den and women turned faint at the right of
he swollen and blood-stained faces of tha i
lead. Four men, a lad, six women, and a i
rir! of fifteen were quite dead, or died in a "
ew moments. They had been found at the I
lottonof the heap. J
The police stopped grocers' wagons com- i
ngfrom Brooklyn, and carrying the bodies '
f the wounded and dying down the planks. J
i) the railroad, laid them in the wapons, I
nd told the drivers to hurry to the Cham- [

Having been troubled for many yean with kidney
difeise, with severe pains in my back and limb*?my
ank'es were at times very badly swollen?I w?s advised
to go to the hospital for treatment, which I did on the
advice of a friend, but found no relief, at least only of a
temporary nature, and I h d given up all hope of a cure
until my husband wa* advised to use Hunt's Remedy by
a i r end that had used It and been cured of a severe case
of dropsy and kidney trouble. I procured a bottle, and
hid nit usdi one-half of the bottle before I began to be
better, no pain in the back, and the swelling of my
limbs commcnced to go down, and my appetite was
much better, for I had become so bad that all I ate distressed
me very much. It was really dyspepsia, combined
with the other troubles, and I have used four
bottles, and am able to do my work ani atten 1 to
household dutlas, which before bad beon a burden to
me. And I cab otlly thank Hunt's Remedy for the
health and happiness which I now enjoy, and esteem it

SCROFULA
The victims to scrofula are countless. Every community
is full of them. Hardly a family escapss. Often
every member shows the foul infection and corraption
of blood. However quiet now, it msy rouse itself at any
time, and burst your skin in sores and pestilent humors.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
has a wonderful power over all scrofulous troubles, as

SIGNIFICANT SPRING. j
A Dissertation upon Its ad vent, and
Its offset upon mankind.
"Thegreen leaf of the new oome Spring."?Shai.
Everybody recognizes spring, when it is '
once upon ns, bnt many persons are not
familiar with the exact date of its appearance. 1
Webster, the world-renowned lexicographer, j
gives us a definition, which may not be inappropriate
here. "Spring," says he, "is f
the season of the year when plants begin to I
vegetate and rise; the vernal season, compre- /
bending the months of March, April and May, j \
in the middle latitudes north of the equator." / j
Thompson, in his '' Seasons," and Shakes- {
peare, in many of his works, have, perhaps, v I
no peers in describing it, and yet "ethereal / J spring"
is freighted with malaria, "that
insidious foe, lurking unseen in the very afr
we breathe." It spreads over the fairest portions
of oar land; brings death and disease
to thousands; cuts off scores upon scores of j
our children and youth, as well as those in
advanced life. A pestilence is regarded with
little less apprehension, and people everywhere
are asking, "What is it?" "Where
does it come from?" " What will cure it?"
KlDlflY-WOBT AS A SPBIN3 MrDICDnZ. '
When yon begin to lose appetite;?have a
headache, a pain in your side, back and
shoulders;?to toss about at night in restless ,
dreams;?wake in tho morning with a foul
month and furred tongue;?feel disinclined
to go about your work, heavy in body and
oppressed in mind;?have a fit of the blues;?
when your urine gets scanty or high colored; .
?to suffer, with constipation, diarrhoea or
indigestion;?have a pasty, sallow face, doll
eyes, and a blotched skin;?one or all oj ~
these common complaints will certainly be W
evidences that your liver is disordered, torpid r
or perhaps diseased. A bottle of Kidney- '
Wort is, under such circumstances, a priceless
boon to such a person.
