It is reported the Grand Jury has ob- tained a complete list of the members of Camp No. 20, Clan-na-Gael, known as the Columbia Club, and has directed the sub- posuniug of every member. It was from this camp that Cronin was expelled a. oanple of years ago on ghe chnge of treason. P. O’Sullivan, the iceman, indicted for complicity in the Cronin tragedy, was today removed to the “ boys' department ” of the jail, the-recognized haven for “squealers.” It is said he has offered to make a full confession. His motive is said to be fright over the arrest of Burke at Winnipeg and the disclosure that Gooney, I‘ The Fox,” is being actively pursued. It is suspegted, however, that his removal is simply shrewd maths on fine part '25 the authorities to break down One or another of the suspects. It is reported that O‘Sullivan at his own request had con- ferences with the sheriff and State’s Attorney. A Young Woman of Illipqis Stuck Full of Pins to Cure Insanity. A Carthage, In, despatch says: Ayoung woman named Hannah Heitlaud has been working for her brother in Quincy. She recently left his house and WBIkEd to he): home in Tiogs. a. distance of 25 miles. She showed symptoms of insanity, and her parents, with other ignorant persons of the vicinity, held a. sort of incantation over the girl, sticking pins into her person to "drive away the evil spirit.” The young woman became almost uncon- scious, and in this condition she was bound hand and foot, gagged, and placed in a farm Waggon, brought to Carthage, and placed in a livery stable. Here she remained from noon yesterday until near midnight in an unconscious condition. The unfortunate creature was finally taken to jail, Where a physician is trying to save her life. Pins are still found sticking to her person. u When the Carlson cottage revealedits ter- rible story one of the most promising clues was the footprints in the paint. The mur- derer walked about in the paint in his stocking feet. A shoemaker wrote to the police that a well-known Irishman and Clan-na-Gael man, whose name he had seen in the newspapers in connection with the murder, was his customer, and had very peculiar feet. A piece of the floor was cut out with three tracks on it and taken to police headquarters. Then the shoe- maker was asked to produce the book in which he preserved the tracings showing the shape of his customers’ feet. The out. lines of the suspected Irishman’e feet were found to correspond exactly in size and shape with the footprints taken from the floor. The peculiarity about the foot which made the paint tracks is the depth of the hollow part of it. In the paint tracks there is a great curve running in from the great toe to the heel, almost severing the latter from the front part of the foot. The board with the paint tracks on it and the measure book of the shoemaker have been in the Grand Jury room for several days. It is likely the suspect will be called before the jury. A Winnipeg despatch says: It has all along been held by eminent and experienced mineralogists that gold in alluvial deposits honld exist at the Lake of the Woods, on account of its geological character, it hav- ing been cut down by glaciers and deposit- ing alluvial soil. Up to yesterday all attempts at discovery have been abortive, but this morning Prof. Harvey, of Toronto, reached Rat Portage from Yellow Girl Bay, where he has been prospecting on some mining locations which be, along with other Toronto capitalists, is interested in. Some of his men. it 'app’ears, brought in some “black sand” taken from the bed of a creek in the vicinity of the camp where they were located that he thought con- tained gold. This dirt was washed down notil nothing remained but metal, which showed a large yield of gold, The test was repeated several times with most gratifying success, gold being found in the pan'aiter each wash. An entirely new Cronin suspect is being looked for to-night. His name is Michael Cooney, known as “ The Fox,” because of a song he ueei to sing. Cooney and Burke, it is claimed, actually killed Cronin. Both are Clan-nn-Gael men. Cooney is a. brick- layer and came from Ireland only a few years ago. Little hope is entertained of the immediate arrest of Cooney. State Attorney Longenecker allowed it to be inferred that he has two witnesses who will swear Cooney and Burke slept in the Carl- son cottage several days prior to the tragedy, and were seen leaving the cottage on the fatal night. Both are said to have gone to a saloon and drank heavily: Young Wifeâ€"“ My dear, you ought not to have purchased such a swell suit of clothes.

A last (Wednesday) night's Chicago deepatch eaye: The special grand jury in the Cronin once gave its first indicationl of results at noon today in the shape cf an indictment against Martin Burke on two counts. Burke, alias Martin Delaney, otherwise celled Frank Williams, is indicted, first for murder, and secondly for conepiracy with Coughlin, P. O'Sulli- van and Woodrnfi for the purpose of com- mitting murder. Application will at once he made to Governor Fifer by an officer who is now in Springfield, for requisition papers for the extradition of Burke. These papers, properly attested, will be spread before the State Department of Washington, and the Sectetary of State will make a. formal request to the (.‘ena- dien Government for the surrender and extradition of Burke. The indictment was returned upon the testimony of Michael Gavin. of the Chicago Sewer Department. Gavin testified that he had known Burke for a long time; that he had frequently heard the latter boast of his friendship with P. O’Sulliveu and others of the sun- peoted parties, and that on one occasion Burke had expressed his conviction that Cronin was an enemy, if not a traitor, to the Irish cause.

Prof. “’illlams, Who Performed in Hamil- ton Last Fall, Has a Narrow Escape. A despatch from Lordon (Eng), dated yesterday, says : Prof. Williams, American aeronaut and parachutist, was announced to make an ascent from the grounds of the Alexandra '_i‘alaoe~ last evening and to descend in the usual manner by means of a parachute. The balloon having been in- flated by the hot air system, Williams took a firm held, and the balloon shot rapidly up to a great height. The spectators soon perceived something was wrong, and in a few minutes it became apparant that Wil- liams was unable to detach the parachute from the balloon, which sailed at a con- siderable speed over Highgate. When last seen Williams was hanging from the balloon by his hands, and grave fears were entertained for his safety. Great excite- ment prevailed amongst the spectators. Williams hold on to the balloon with his hands and drifted nearly five miles to Hornsey. There he descended, with the balloon and parachute together. on the top of the Local Board Oflices. He was unin- jured save for a few bruises. Mr. Hugh Sutherland leaves about July lstfor the old copntpy. A Man Barns His Arm to a Rabid Canine‘s Teeth in Acceptance ofa 8500 (err to Te st a Matlsloneâ€"Jf This Madman Badn’t Done It, Anoilxer “’35 Ready. A Kansas City, Mo, despatch says: The man who allowed himself to be bitten by a mad dog at the house of Dr. Edward N. Small, at Sedalia, is still alive and the madstone still clings to his arm. It is believed that the man was hardly less mad than the dog when he allowed the animal to bite him. Dr. Small is the chief sur- geon of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway and is very sceptical as to the powers of the madstone. His joking offer to pay $500 to any man who would let a rabid dog bite him, in order to testthe properties of the stone, was brought about by the fact that he had in his kennel several dogs which had gone mad or showed symptoms of doing so. In the course of some talk about these dogs he made the offer without the least idea that it wouldfind staker. When the man from Arkansas turned up to accept the offer Dr. Small promptly took water, not to save his $500, but to spare the man. The latter refused to be spared, however, and gaining admis- sion to the dogs' quarters surreptitiously, he bared his arm to one of the brutes. The dog bit a piece out of the arm, and fifteen minutes later he died in horrible convulsions. It isieared the man will folâ€" low the dog‘s fate. Had not the Arkansan stolen the lead. A. L. Sherman, of this city, would have placed himself at Dr. Small’s disposal. Mr. Shermanglives at 17 . West Fifth street, and in expressing his‘ willingness to submit to the painful test he ‘ declared that he was actuated only by a‘ desire to benefit medical science. J. Mn Dickson, also of this city, owns the mad- stone which Mr. Sherman proposed to use, 1 and he, it is said, agreed, in case of the 1 stone failing to work, to pay $5,000 to Mr. Sherman’s heirs and a $1,000 forfeit to Dr. Small. A correspondent writes on this subject to the New York World : “ A friend is to be married this month very quietly. He has requested me to act as best man. The ceremony is to be as simple as possible, only the contracting parties, their very near relatives, 9. friend of the lady to act as bridesmaid and myself in the capacity referred to. to be present on the occasion.

On the morning of Sunday, February 19th, 1 was sent for to examine the remains of a man, age 65, a pensioner of notoriously intemperate habits. I found the charred remains of the man reclining against the stone wall of the hay loft. The main eflfects of combustion were limited to the corpse, and only a, small piece of the adja- cent flooring and the woodwork immediately above the man‘s head had sufifered. The body was almost a cinder, yet retained the form of the face and figure so well that those who had known him in life could readily recognize him. Both hands and the right foot had been burnt off, and had fallen through the floor into the stable below among the ashes, and the charred and calcined ends of the right radius and ulna, the left humerus and the right tibia and fibula were exposed to view. The hair and scalp were burnt off the forehead, ex- posing the bare and calcined skull. The tissues of the face were represented by a greasy cinder, retaining the cast of the features, and the incinerated mustache still gave the wonted military expression to the old soldier The soft tissues were almost entirely consumed. On my return from other work, later on, I found that the whole had been removed. The bearers told me that the whole body had collapsed when they had tried to move it en masse. From the comfortable recumbent attitude of the body, it was evident that there had been no death struggle, and that, stupefled with all the whisky within and smoke with- out, the man had expired without suflering, the body burning away quietly all the time.

Ralph Bell, a little fellow 5 years of age, is the hero of the day in Garbondale, Pa. Several children were playing around an unprotected well, when Eddie Widner decided to take a drink from it. As the water rises within a foot of the surface the little fellow thought he could reach it by lying on his stomach and putting his head down to the water. but in trying this feat he lost his balance and plunged head first into the spring, which is over six feet deep. In his fall he turned a complete somersault, coming up head first, but as he went down he uttered a cry that attracted the attention of a playmateLRalph Ball, who is only 5 years of age. The latter hastened to the place, and, with a precocious presence of mind that would have deserted many an adult, he took in the situation at a glance. and, seizing the already half drowned boy, he held his head above the surface of the Water until the united voices of the children drew a man Who was working near by to the rescue. Eddie was restored to his parents rather the worse for his dangerous bath, but was soon completely resuscitated. ~Clz£cago Times. An English Physician Reports a Death From this Cause. Aphenomenal occurrence, nothing less than the spontaneous combustion of the human body, ia claimed to have taken place recently. Dr. Boomh reports the case as follows in the British Medical Journal : Recent foreign exchanges report the ex- portation of 100 head of pure-bred Aber- deen-Angus cattle, chiefly selected from the North of Scotland, to the Quebec quaran- tine station consigned to the Quorn ranche, Calgary, Alberta, Can., which is situated in that extensive range country lying north of Montana. The cattle are pronounced a very good lot, representing nearly all of the best-esteemed strains of the breed. and four of the six bullsâ€"two from Ballindal- loch and two from Balliol College forumâ€"â€" are highly bred. If these cattle give a good account of themselves in their North- western home it is quite likely that a new market will be opened for the breed. In this connection it is interesting to note that Clement Stephenson has recently sent from his well‘known herd a small bunch of heifers to Russia. The “ aoddies," it appears, are becoming cosmopolitan in their distribution. ‘ THE HON. CHIEF JUSTICE ABMOUR, L’OriguaJ’Mondny, Sept. 9. 0Ltawn~Thursday, Sepr. 1'6.

Boston cor- respondent of the Worcester Spy. The Massachusetts Emergency and Hygiene Association provided sown P; these play- grounds for poor children'la'st summer at a cost cf 81 for each of the 400 little ones entertained for eight weeks. In Berlin the Government provides heaps of clean sea sand in the parks and squares, in which the German children play under the general care of the police. In Boston the ladies started the movement, the school commit tee gave the use of the school yards, the public oontribnted the money, and poor but reliable motherly women were employed four days in the week to matronize the little folks. It was a pretty sight to see these poor children, door-nod to spend the summer in town, playing with shovels and pails in the sand, whose fascination was unending. Others were playing horse with worsted reins or tossing bean bags, skipping rope and playing ball. If a different set had come every day it is calculated that the matrons would have entertained almost 130,000 children. Now and then a basket of flowers would be contributed, so that each child went home with a nosegay. This season it is hoped the contributions will be snflioiently generous to establish 20 sand gardens and extend the benefits. i A Growing Preference for the Women Who I Can Make Home Pleasant. How did it come about? is a question now asked in regard to the marriage of a popular writer. The same question was asktd five years ago when a. society man in Boston married a. sensible homo body,some years his senior. . The croakers cranked We“, and decided that it was an unfortunate affair or would turn out to be in the end. George Eliot says that this love of “ find- ing out how it came about ” is due to " an excess of poetry or stupidity." I don’t know us that is just fair, but I do think when a marriage is contrary to established rules, croakers are stupid and fortunately are often in the wrong in their prophecy. It is written that when a marriage was about to take place King James used to ask “What is the woman’s makdom and her fairness?” The days of “infatuations” are now giving place to a keen outlook to the direction of personal comfort ; makdom and fairness stand one side and the quesâ€" tion to be answered first will this woman 1 make my home restful to me, and will she live on what I can earn? Subtle has been the process that has led to this gradual change, but a change has come. The brilliant society man referred to is now a regular stay-at-home for the simple reason that his home is as perfect as a. home can be made to be. The sunniest, brightest room in the houseis his sanctum; here are his favorite books, pictures he likes, the latest magazines, leaves out, and no end of pipes. When the train whistles into the depot, in which is this fortunate man, a fire is started on the low hearth to make the room cheerful although the warmth is not needed. To this room he brings his friends, and here husband and wife sit when alone. Every thing that will help his wife to make home a means of grace she reads ; on hertable are always to be found books and magazines that talk of the higher life of the home. I mean good cooking when I say higher life ; a hitherto much neglected part of religion. This man, formerly out every evening, rarely goes to theatre or opera, party or ball, because his home has greater attractions, and he is really now so sensible, well-informed and amounting to something that his friends are rejoiced that the seemingly incongruous marriage came about. When I was asked what I considered the reason of this trans- formation, I answered : “ Clean, well-sired rooms, good food, and a wife who is more anxious to be what a German writer calls ' a serene house-wife," than to keep her weather-eye out to see if she will ever get her rightsâ€"~and vote.”â€"â€"Good Housekeeping. The Jews are good haters. If they are 3 wronged, especially in a commercial or financial way, they generally succeed in making the wrong-doors repent in the end. Judge Hilton excluded them from his hotel at Manhattan Beach ; in two years they had diverted trade enough from the great dry goods house of A. T. Stewart & 00., to which business Judge Hilton had succeeded, to week the custom, and the great concern closed its doors. There has been a crusade for years against Jews in Vienna. This has been one of the great corn markets of Europe, and Jewish capitalists control a large portion of the corn trade of the con- tinent. The Jewish corn factors now stay away from Vienna, and the glory of the Vienna Corn Exchange has departed. There are various kinds of boycotting, and no one need be surprised when those boycotted retaliate with the same weapon when this is found practicable. This species of per- secution, like most others, brings its revenges. Besides, indulgence in hatred of a whole people because of their race or reli- gion or success in commercial or industrial pursuits is about as contemptible a busi- ness as poor humanity can engage in. Britain, France and the United States long since rose superior to the base sentiments which not infrequently still give rise to popular outbursts against the Jews in Ger- ‘ many, Russia and Austria, and in the for- mer countries politics, the bar and com- merce have been enriched by the great attainments of men of Jewish birth and descent.~Montrwl Star.

"l'he little girl climbed from her chair, {melt on the floor with policeman, Judge, and her father and member around her, and folding her tiny hands and lifting her eyes to Heaven, she made the grandest defence of a mother’s word possible. Slowly, but distinctly, this child, born with the stain of shame upon her, and discarded by her father, lisped in childish accents the Lord's Prayer. As she proceeded, utterly oblivious of her surroundings, rough men who had not heard a prayer for years bowed their heads and many wept. Then the childish voice ended with “God bless pap}, mamma, and Uncle Duliss. Amen." The case was ssntled, and had William Chriaman sworn to a thousand oaths that his wife was bad he would have been disbe- lieved. It was several minutes before any one spoke, and then the Recorder fined the two brothers $15 each and dismissed court. â€"Fresno (Cal.) Despatch. A Recorder Benders a Decision W'orthy of Solomon Himself. Recorder Price‘s court was the scene of an affecting incident in the trial of Duliss Chrisman for assault on his brother VVil- liam. The brothers had quarrelled over William‘s deserlion of his wife. William claimed that he was not married to the Woman, although he had had two children by her, because they were divorced, and they were both Catholics. He testified that she kept a disorderly house in San Francisco, and wasn’t fit custodian for her children. The woman wept and eagerly besoughb the judge not to believe his state- ment, saying: “ l have raised my children as they should he brought up.” “ The people in California will gamble on anythingmthey will bet on anything from a cigarette to wheat field.

How an Indiana Girl Lost and Begalned Power of Speech Miss Sue Sutton, of Mount Carmer, 111., 20 miles south of here, some months ago suddenly lost her power of speech. Her voice was gone and she could not utter a sound. The affliction baffled the aid of the physicians, who could not understand the case. MISS Button is a very pretty and accomplished young lady of 20 years of age. All other of her faculties were unimpaired, and she continued to go about her house- hold duties, assisting her mother after the first shock produced by her afiiiotion had passed off. Thursday her mother sent her out to dig some new potatoes. She went to the garden and stooped down and began to dig into the potato hills. Suddenly she felt a strange sensation and she straightened up. She found herself nearly paralyzed. Her arms were entirely so. Almost overcome with horror with what she believed to be a multiplica- tion of her aflliction, she managed to reach the house. As she entered, her mother said : “ Have you got enough potatoes already ?" and looked toward her for an , answer, which the mother expected would ‘ be made by motion of her head, as the girl could not speak. The young lady stood as if rooted to the floor. She could not move a muscle. Her arms were drawn up, half bent, and totally paralyzed. The strange sensation increased, and for a minute or two she stood looking at her mother with a. peculiar stare. Great drops of sweat stood out upon her, a tremor passed through her frame, and suddenly all was over and she replied in a strong voice, “ Yes." To her great joy and astonishment her voice had returned, her strange nervous attack had passed away, and full use of her faculties had been suddenly and miraculously re- stored to her. Daughter and mother re- turned praise to that Supreme Giver of all gifts, and rejoiced that the strange affliction had been remedied.â€"â€"Vincennes com St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “ He was afraid the hind dog would catch the front dog, and he fairly flew.

There is no such thing as a. banana sea- son now, so far as the meal fruit men know. St. Louis is a heavy banana market, and formerly we used to have the bulk of fruit arrive in the early part of the spring. But now there seems to be a reguiar carrying trade from the West Indies to New Orleans, whence the bunches of fruit are shipped up the river, no matter Whether the ice is just broken up, or whether the thermoneter registers 100 in the shade. It is next to impossible to ship a ripe banana any such distance as it is necessary to be covered, as what escaped bruising and crushing would rot on the way. So the fruit is picked while quite green, and when it arrives sound and hard it is hung up in a sweating room, where it ripens in twentyâ€"four hours in hot weather, and in three or four days in winter. Of course the flavor isn‘t quite up to that of fruit which ripens naturally, but the difference is not so great as might be imaginedâ€"St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The blaod spurted forth and I instantly regained the use of my limbs. I wanted to knock seven kinds of blue fire out of the coflin-man, and was out of that in no time. The unflertaker skipped, but I put it all over his assistant, I am ashamed to say, for the men was too horrified at my resurrection to defend himself in the least. Now you can just bet I am as healthy 3 man as the most of them nowadays, and l’ve issued strict orders that in the event of my death I am not to be buried until an artery has been opened and my decease ab- solutely proved.”â€"~b‘t. Paul Globe. “ The three old fogies held a consulta- tion over me, and I heard them discuss the advisability of a post-mortem examination, there beinga slight difference 0! opinion among them as to what was the actual cause. At this time I was lying on a board, perfectly rigid, and fully realized the fact that I should be buried alive if I could not brace up and explain matters within the next few hours. I immediately blessed my mother and brother for their refusal to allow those old butchers to go for me with their knives. That's all that saved me, Itell you. This seems a wild story, but just the same it’s a true one. Why, I can even remember laughing quietly to myself to think that the windows had been opened all around the room. It was devilish cold weather, too, but I could not feel the cold much. I knew, however, that those windows had been opened to prevent the decomposition of my illâ€"used frame. How did I get out of the fix? Well, it was just by the skin of my teeth. When the undertaker and his fool assistant brought the coffin and I was lifted into it, I knew at once that the coffin was too short, and just ached to say so, but I couldn’t speak a work to save my life. I was tongue- tied, hadn’t control of a muscle. The merest accident in the world prevented my being buried alive. I had been lying in the awful position I have described for over three days, when that beast of an under- taker came round again to screw up the lid. Probably the best time for the average civilized woman to marry would be any age between 24 and 36. It is not said that no woman should marry earlier or later than either of these ages ; but youth and health and vigor are ordinarily at their highest perfection between these two periods. Very early marriages are seldom desirable for girls, and that for many reasons. The brain is immature, the reason is feeble, and the character is unformed. The considera- tions which would prompt a girl to marry at 17 would in many cases have very little weight with her at 24. At 17 she is a child, at 24 a woman. Where a girl has intelligent parents, the seVen years between 17 and 24 are the period which both mind and body are most amenable to wise dis- cipline, and best repay the thought and toil devoted to their development. Before 17 few girls have learnt to understand what life is, what discipline is, what duty is. They cannot value what is best, either in the father’s wisdom or in the mother’s tenderness. When married at that child- ish period they are like young recruits taken fresh from the farm and the work- shop, and hurried off to a long campaign without any period of preliminary drill and training; or like a schoolboy removed from school to a curacy without being sent to the university or to a theological hall. Who can help grieving over a child-wife, especially if she have children, and a husband who is an inexperienced, and, possibly, exacting boy-man? The ardor of his love soon cools; the visionary bliss of her poetical imagination vanishes like the summer mist; there is nothing left but disappointment and wonder that What promised to be so beautiful and long a day should have clouded over almost before sunrise-Hospital. “ It has been said,” continued the hero of this blood-curdling adventure, " that there are infallible signs which denote death, and are unmistakable to the prac- ticed eye of the medico. I deny that such is the case, and no one has had a better opportunity of judging than have I. \Vhen I died, or rather when three of the best known medical men in Boston had asserted that I was dead, I had been for three days previous to my supposed demise in a condi- tion of violent hysteria, bordering almost on insanity, owing to the death of a sister whom I loved to distraction. At the expir- ation of that time I subsided into the con- dition I have previously described. My death was attributed by the learned disci- ples of ZEsoulepius to diseaseof the heart. Remedy for Sunstrokcs. Whatever is to be done in this disease must be done quickly. Clinical as well as experimental observations enforce this doctrine. There should in such cases be no waiting for the doctor. The remedy is so simple, the death so imminent, that the good Samaritan passing by should save his brother. The good Samaritan must, how- ever, haveacocl head to be useful. Not every man who falls unconscious on a hot day has sunstroke. There is fortunately one criterion so easy of application that any one can use it. G0 at once to the fallen man, open his shirt bosom and lay the hand upon his chest; if the skin be cool, you may rest assured that Whatever is the trouble, it is not sunstroke. If, on the contrary, the skin be burning hot, the case is certainly sunstroke, and no time should be lost. The patient should be csrv ried to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped to his waist, and bucketful after bucketful of cold water dashed over him until consciousness begins to return, or the intense heat of the surface decidedly .abates.

The young people received a large number of lovely presents, and the bride has already found that there are warm hearts in Boston Open to her. May their lives be long, happy and prosperous [â€" Brantford Expositor. A Novel Courtship Ends in a Happy Marriage. It is not often in this generation of self! reliant and independent young men, that the son will allow the father either to choose or pay much attention to his own choice of a young lady for matrimonial purposes. But Mr. Edy B. Haviland, of Boston, Ont., had faith in his father’s excellent judgment, and will now pin that faith tighter than ever upon this pater, for he has re- cently married the girl of his father’s choice and thinks he could not have done hall! so well for himself. It appears that some time since, Willis Hovilond (the father). who is a. member of the religious sect called Plymouth Brethren, was on Manitoulin Island preaching, and while at Manitowaning met a Miss Maggie Elliott, young, amiable and good looking. He fancied her for a daughter- in-law and in a. short time had his son in correspondence with her. Acquaintance ripened into some sort of a tender affection, and an engagement and wedding followed. The young man. who is but 22 years of age, had never seen his betrothed, but he went for her about the first of this month, married her and brought her to his home in Boston about a week ago. I offer the experience of one family hop- ing it may be of use. Our children had not lived many years before we were convinced that grown people cannot judge of the ap- petite of the young, so we resolved that they should never be denied food when they asked for it, and concluded that good brown bread was least likely to hurt them. I do not think we should have allowed a child to eat all the time, but we were never troubled in this way. When the children were young we had a large three-seated “ carry-all,” into which we used to pack and drive to woods or streams within ten miles, and spend as many hours as they were interested and happy. A can of milk, dry bread and fruit was the only lunch they ever had or wanted. Visitors who sometimes went with us used to think it rather unkind treatment, till they saw with what hearty appetites the bread was eaten and realized how harmless bread crumbs are. One afternoon their father took two of them, about 6 and 8 years of age, to another part of the country, and, returning, had to wait a few minutes at the Broad street station. The children complained of hunger and were taken into a restaurant, where the waiter vied with their father in offering tempting cakes. In vain. nothing suited; till, some- what out of patience, their father asked. “ Well, what do you want ’1" “A piece of bread,” was the meek reply, and the waiter had a very disgusted expression as each child turned away with a half loaf of bread and a contented face. Even small children can be taught that eating in public is scarcely permissible, but plain bread, pro- perly eaten, annoys others as little as any- thing can. Would it not be a good idea for grown people, too. to look upon their picnics and days of “outing” as oppor- tunities to enjoy the country, to get exer- cise and fresh air and to be satisfied with bread 7~Isabella in Philadelphia Ledger.
