Mino eye? were holden, that I could not sea
How close before me stood, with out
stretched hand,
God's messenger, the angel sent to beckon
me
Away from all the cruel thorns, the miry
clay,
That vexed us as we toiled along the way,
To follow his sweet guidance to the land
Where none shall weep through all th'
eternal day..
And knowing not how short the time would
be,
Dear heart, I fretted sorely as we went
along;
And made the way more sad and drear for
thee,
Nor ever sought to cheer thee with a song,
O Love! e'en here in heaven there doth re
main
Regret for all I added to thy pain!

"THE MOTHER OF CRIMINALS."
A Pauper Child Left Adrift?Hundreds
of Vlelour Descendants.
As an illustration of what unorganized
and ^discriminate charity leads to, the
case of Margaret, the Mother of Crimi
nals, is quoted from an authority on the
subject:
"Margaret was a pauper child left
adrift in one of the villages on the upper
Hudson, about ninety years ago. There
was no almshcuse in the place, and she
was nmde the subject of outdoor relief,
receiving occasionally food and clothing
from {fce town officials, but was never
educated or sheltered in a proper home.
She became the mother of a large race of
criminals and paupers which has cursed
the county ever since. The county rec
ords show 200 of her descendants who
have been criminals. In one generation
of her unhappy line there were twenty
children, of whom seventeen lived to
maturity. Nine served terms aggregat
in fifty years in the state prison for high
crimes, and all the others were frequent
inmates of jails and almshouses.
"It is said that, of the 628 descendants
of this outcast girl, 200 committed crimes
which brought them upon the court rec
ords and most of the others were idots,
drunkards, lunatics and paupers. The
cost to the county of this race of crim
inals and pauper^ is estimated as at least
$100,000, taking no account of the dam
age they inflicted upon property and the
degradation they caused to othe.s."?

Sanitary Improvements In Naples.
A correspondent gives in The Vienna
Fremdenblatt a graphic account of the
great improvements which are about to
be commenced at Naples, and which will
completely renovate the city from a
i sanitary point of view. One large main
thoroughfare will traverse the whole of
the poor quarters, Porto, Fendino, Mer
cato, and Vicaria, while regular cross
streets will run at fixed intervals. Some
* sites considered to be too unhealthy wiil
not be allowed to be occupied. For the
large crowd of artisans, laborers, and
their families who will be dislodged by
these changes new and healthy quarters.
will_ be found injthc Arenaccia district,
beyondlhe railway station.
The entire drainage and 6ewer system
in the lower part of the city will be re
modeled, and will be made to discharge
beyond the harbor. The dye-works and
pimiinr manufactories, the operations of
which are calculated to pollute the water,
will be required to remove beyond the
city boundary. The state is contribut
ing 4,000,000 pound, sterling to carry
Out these great works. When they have
been finished the Chiaja will, indeed, ba
one of the most delightful, as well as
most wonderful, promenades in Europe.
?Exchange.
Yet Not a Visitor Smiled.
An American gives us an instance of
his experience in Syria. He was ab jut
to mount his mule amidBt a crowd of
Oriental visitors, and wished to give
them an exaggerated idea of American
agility. He jumped a little too far, and
overshot the mark, corning down on the
other side like a diver, with his hands and
nose in the mud, his feet caught in the
saddle, and his coatskirts cleverly rolled
over his head, to screen him from what
he supposed was a laughing crowd.
Yet not a soul smiled, not a sound was
heard save a tender grunt of sympathy
and demure offers of aid. Now a Turk in
America, with baggy breeches and tur
baned head, taking a leap over a mule in
the streets of an American city, and
getting stuck upside down, with hia pro
boscis in a rut and his heels in the saddle,
would be saluted with something more
than a grunt of sympathy and demure
offers of aid. We have more humor than
dignity; the Turks more dignity than
humor.?Youth's Companion.
Improvement on the Alarm-Cloek.
Alarm-clocks, as is well known, after
a time lose their power over a sleeper
and fail to awake him, since he becomes
accustomed to the noise. To remedy this
defect an ingenious inventor has added
a cylinder, the base filled with com
pressed air and the remaining space with
cold water. A perforated tin tube is at
tached, which is pointed in the direction
needed. When the alarm bell goes off
the pressure of air is relieved and the
water in the cylinder is driven out
through the perforated tube over the
head of the sleeper, who is sure to
be awakened by the shower-bath.

Training Dogs for Military Service.
The German minister of war has given
orders for a number of dogs to be trained
with a view of testing the value of the
services they might render to sentinels
engaged keeping guard during the night.
This new departure in the German army
is understood to have been suggested by
an accident which occurred in the course
of last year's - operations among theBrit?

A Cb&t Coaeernlag Superstitions.
We were discussing superstitions tin
other night. The mercurial De Vivo wai
telling us about the Italians and theiz
superstitions. Brignoli, the tenor, wa<
a child of superstition. In Italy sheaf
are always supposed to bring bad luck,
and De Vivo says he has seen Brignoh
run away like the wind from a flock oi
sheep. On the other hand, he would
walk clean into a herd of pigs and al
most embrace them. Humpbacked peo
pie are always supposed to be good luck,
and Brignoli would rush across a street,
and put his arms around a humpbacked
man, it being necessary to touch ih<
hump to get the full benefit of the good
fortune. All the great singers nearly
are superstitiousi Parepa-Rosa was ex
cessively weak on this point, and al
ways carried as an amulet a coral horn,
which she immediately touched when
ever she came across anything unlucky.
Crosa-eyed people are always looked
upon as unlucky; why, nobody knows.
Most cross-eyed people that I know an
rather lucky than otherwise. There are
several very wide-spread superstitions,
which take different shapes with differ
ent people. Perhaps the most uni
versal one is the thirteen one. In
theatres for instance, on salary day when
a man comes up to sign the pay-roll?
that is, in the theatres where they pay sal
aries?he always counts the numbs r ahead
of him, and if he is the thirteenth he will
not sign. If you go to a theatre'with a
pass and you are the first man there they
will not allow you to go in until some*
body has gone in on a paid ticket,?Sao

When There Wore No Dentist?.
"I often think," wrote Oliv? WendelJ
Holmes, in his letter declining an invita
tion to dine with the New York Odonto
logical society, "of the forlorn condition
of some of the great personages of history
in the days when there were no dentists,
or none who would be recognized as such
by the dental artists of to-day. Think of
poor King David, a worn-out man of 70,
probably without teeth, and certainly
without spectacles. Think of pooi
George Washington, his teeth always
ready to drop like, a portcullis, and cut a
sentence in two. See him in Stewart*?
admirable portrait, his thoughts evidently
divided between the cares of empire and
the maintenance of the status quo of his
terrific dental arrangements.
"Think of Walter Savage Lander's
'melancholy complaint that he d.'d not
mind losing his intellectual faculties, but
the loss of his teeth he felt a very great
calamity. I venture to propose, then,
the dental profession and their associa
tion as its worthy representative. It has
established and prolonged the reign of
beauty; it has added to the charms oi
social intercourse and lent perfection to
the accents of eloquence; it has taken
from old age its most unwelcome feature
and has lengthened enjoyable human
life far beyond the limit of years when
the toothless and purblind patriarch
might well exclaim, 'f have no pleasure
in them.'"?Exchange.
Xho Farmer and Hi* Blizzard Bope.

can form the faintest conception of its
fearful character. Why, do you knowj
that every farmer in that country takes
the precaution when the first snow ap
pears to provide himself with a rope by
which he guides him Reif from his house
to his stock sheds or stable? He ties one
end of the rope to the door-knob of his
house and.then walks to his barn-door.
At this point he ties a stick into the rope,
and when the blizzard comes he simply
takes what he thinks is the right direc
tion and follows the rope until he reaches
the stick. If he does not strilie the barn
door when he reaches the stick he knows
he has missed his bearings, and simply
starts off in a circle holding the rop?
taut until he reaches the barn. "When
he gets ready to start back he hauls him?
self in hand over hand until he reaches
his door. H he looses his hold on the
rope the chances are that he will nevei
reach his door even though he might
wonder within five feet of it.?Chicago

The Guarded Language of Diplomacy.
The Hon. E. B. Washburne is an ex

to good purpose in this respect. He was

he considered Mrs. Storey "a young

Copying from a Lifo Model?Remaining
Motionless for Nine Hours.
Away up in the top story in a room
littered up with screens and plaques and
busts of Apollo Belvedere and Venus de
Milo, and Venus with one arm gone,
where a plaster of pans cast of Socrates
lays over sideways against a chromo of
Gen. Grant, between 9 and 10 the other
evening were seated a class of thirteen
young ladies and gentlemen with lap
boards in front of them, on which were
large ?heets of paper, and in their right
hands they held crayons, or sticks of
charcoal. A pendent gas-jet from the
ceiling above shed a strong but sickly
light on the pupils, who were arranged
in a circle around a nude model.
Stretched upon a 10x12 foot table, only
eighteen inches from the floor, In a re
clining position, lay a man hatless, coat
less, shoeless, pantless, with nothing on
save a short pair of bathing trunks.
There was not a word spoken. The
pupils had all green shades over their
eyes. But the model? He was as mo
tionless as a statue. He looked steadily
at some object near the clock. Not a
muscle twitched. In his right hand he
held a long pole, on the top of which
was a fringe. His left hand lay on a sort
of pillow.
It was no easy job. It looked easy,
but not one in a thousand could keep so
everlasting quiet. The model poses for
oae hour, then rests fifteen 'minutes,
then takes the same position for another
hour. Yesterday the model had done
extra duty. He had remained motion
less for nine hours on the hard wooden
table, with nothing but a coarse sheet
between his bare flesh and the board.
The model was a flnely-formed, athletic
man, a laborer by profession, glad to
earn a dollar for two hours posturing for
the Art School life art class. There are
a dozen others in the city who sit as
models, though, strictly speaking, there
are no professional models in the city.
In answer to an inquiry concerning the
puptts, Professor Noble replied:
"They are each and all earnest people,
who are studying for a purpose. Yonder
is a man engaged at Strobridge's who
earns $100 a week; others are already art
teachers; others are learning to be fresco
painters; there is one book-keeper who
wants to.be a professional artist, another
a decorator, and so on."
"Can any one go in the live class?"
"Oh, no. Our school is graded, not ac
cording to the desire of the pupil, but to
bis ability. When he applies here we
place the pupil in the department that it
belongs to. Those in the live class are
all advanced pupils."
"How do they work?"
"First they locate the different parts of
the body?block out the form, as it were
?secure the proper proportions; next
they begin at the head, and finish it in
detail. They do not begin at the head or
any other part of the body and finish
that first."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Changehow, China. The patient acquires
the impression that his abdomen is in
habited by some animal, often a rat,
whose excursions cause violent pain. Un
heard-of efforts are made to expel the in
truder, and often the savings of a: whole
family for a lifetime are wasted on
bonzes, sorcerers, doctors, and other
quacks in hope of obtaining relief for the
Bufferer. It is reported that in many
cases death occurs from suffocation in
the course of a violent convulsiva par
oxysm. The patient leads a double life,
marked by the use of two voices of dif
ferent timbres. As a rule his disposition
alters in correspondence with the change
of voice. Morally and mentally he is a
different being in the two states. What
ever occurs during the period betokened
by the unnatural voice is totally forgot

An Almost Inexhaustible Supply.
Now that the northern forests have
been greatly depleted attention is being
directed southward where there is an al
most inexhaustible supply of just such
woods as have grown scarce in the north.
While the area of white and black wal
nut, especially the latter, is not large,
there is a vast amount of yellow pine
which has recently become so popular as
an ornamental as well as a useful timber;
and the sweet-gum, to which little atten
tion has been directed until recently,
will take a prominent place among the
ornamental woods. It is very fine
grained, and therefore capable of a high
finish, and from the fact of its being
plentiful and easily worked will be widely
utilized.?Globe-Democrat.

Packing Cut Flowers in Boxes.
The English florists have a peculiar
method of packing cut flowers in boxes.
The box is furnished with a number of
hooks all around the sides, and the flow
ers are fastened to the hooks with strings,
thus rendering it impossible for the flow
ers to be crushed against the sides of the
box. Dump cotton wool is used in Eng
land to protect cut dowers, but American
florists prefer tissue paper, except in the
coldest weather.?Chicago Journal.

well earned by the untiring devotion of
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks
which arc hest repelled by a frank and full
exhibit of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July 1,1883, this shows a
gain of no less than 513 214,580 over that
of the corresponping period last year.
In June alone its mortuary receipts ex
ceeded 5250,000, of which over 560,000 went
into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress
upon which the association justly prides
itself. Tins reserve now amounts to ?425,
00?, and is employed for three purposes
only?to pay death claims, if any should
occur in excess of the American Eppericnce
Mortality Tables; to make good any. poss
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to be apportioned among those who
have been members of the Association fif
teen years, etc. as the first and second
contingencies named are not likely to arise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. It is full of
other good points, among which may be
mentioned the economical salary list?less
than 550,000 for earning on the whole work
of the vast institution?and payments to
widews and orphans at the rate of over
52,000 cash eash day.?From the old and
conservative New York Daily Journal of
Commerce, July 10,1885.
With the Annual Report of the above
Company is attached a large number of
Death claims paid from February 1882 to
February 1st 1886, representing all parts of
the Union, amoun?ug to 51,685,200.00 from,
