Fitzgerald was brought to tine surface. William ('ole, of Dudley, met with a horrible death on Saturday. The d.eeeesed went to a village near Kidderminster to 'tick peas, and got drunk and lay dowel on a held. During the night he is supposed to have lighted a fire, and he was found literally roasted alive, 1115 clothes being burned from off his body, and presenting a horrible sight. As thelaw of Aberdeen required it, a eah Aver was prosecuted, convicted and fined five shillings, or three day's imprisonment, for smoking a pipe on his cab, not while driving a fare, but, while he was standing on the Iookout for oue. By the municipal laws and regulations of Aberdeen the smok- ing of a pipe by a cab driver is a criminal of - tepee. Early on Tuesday morning a platelayer found the body of a man named Niekolls, a cabdriver, of Oxford, lying in the four -foot way on the Greet Western Railway, n foe utiles out of Oxford. The body was shock- ingly mutilated, the head and legs being com- pletely severed from the trunk. IN ickolls had been e'lrinking along with others the previous evening, and said it was the last time lte'. should treat them. Profit on cheap literature in England is said to be about as follows : A " shilling shocker" pays its expenses when it has sold 3,000 copies, a three -shilling book, upon which grade end all higher grades the price of the cover has to be accounted for, becomes profitable after it has sold 1,500: a six -shil- ling book when it has sold 1,003, a two - volume library book when it has sold 400, and. a three -volume book when it has sold 400. On Sunday evening there left Preston for M. Pasteur's Institution in Paris two men who have been bitten by a mad dog, and who are being sent out by a Liancashue magis- trate who has interested himself in the case. One of the patients is a farmer named Thomas Eccles, and the other was an Irish labourer who was in a hay field. The dog was a strange one, and was shot. A post-mortem examination showed that it had suffered from hydrophobia. At Sheffield Quarter Sessions, on Satur- day, Lavinia Cousins and Thomas Lloyd were convicted of shocking cruelty to a child who lived with them but belonged to another woman. Cousins among other brutalities tied the child to a bed and made what she called a . crucifix of it. The male prisoner thrashed the child with a buckled strap while it. was naked. He was sen- tenced to five years and the woman to two, the maximum penalties. Interest in Gloucester Museum has lately been enhanced by the rehabilitation of a mummy. The mummy in question had been unclothed to satisfy curiosity, and had been aired for some time, no one having the knowledge or inclination to restore the, relic �,,� to neatness and order. A lady of Binning, K': hani, well kno*u in antiquarian circles, has, ••t, however, acconnplished the by -no -means pleasant task, and the Egyptian Princess lies now in due state in her case in the room set apart for Egyptian antiquities. Miss S. J. Springhallhas reunited the bones of the skele ton, and otherwise undid the work of disin tegration which had been irreverently be, gun. She Wasn't Seasick. A traveling woman who voyages to Eu- rope frequently heard of a remedy for sea- sickness. The treatment was homeophatic. Before sailing she introduced herself to a systematic training with mild emetics. She did not take enough of them at any oue time to make her sick. Becoming used to the treatment she increased her doses, untiliike a victim of the morphine habit she could take with impunity what would have killed a novice. This is not a new idea. But behold the practical application. When she made her voyage, fortified by her systematic. disci- pline, her training showed that it had been admirable. But her head drove her almost insane. It was in a turmoil. Now it was splitting, now a ton's weight was on it and always it was in a mad whirl. But she was not seasick. She wished, however, that she might be.. Next time she will welcome the good old-fashioned seasickness, --H. ir. Longfellow. Friday—rincl so, within our narrow work- ing spheres the truth stan,ls for every one of us. Special instances of treachery and baseness we shall have to encounter, and where motives are not wholly bad, we shall final their quality confused and mixed, we shall find that it is not safe or wise to trust implicitly. Always we shall find room and need for the exercise of a broad charity; but we can only live truly and usefully by always recognizing the higher side of men, whether in masses or individuality, by ap- pealing to their better instincts, their nobler selves, their loftier minds.—Anonymous.

"Call no man happy," says Scion, "till he is dead." "Call no pian unhappy," Socrates added, "till he is married." If ever religion were destroyed by reason, it would be restored by emotion. We more frequently think people beauti- ful because we love them, than love them because we think thein beautiful. The heart is not critical. We can sometimes forget without forgiv- ing, and owe a grudge though we cannot remember why. It is foolish to give our affections to chil- dren, for others may forsake us, but they must.

THE NEW GAS GUUN. Thing of the marvellous Bine Inreutcd by ?l. chard. At the headquarters of the London Scot- tish Rifles yesterday afternoon some inter- esting experiments were conducted with 31. Paul Giffard's appliance for the emnployntent. of liquefied gas as an explosive --or, to be more •i t e st1 cul accurate one should y , n h old say as a meaats of propelling projectiles—in place oz gunpevweler. 31. i'au1(ximueI'sseieutifle re piitation as inventor of the pneumatic tube, and of the " Uiffa,rd injector,"so largely used in commotion with steam power, stands so High that any invention to which his name was attached would be worthy of atteutire Coneldexation, The weapon now introduced by him, how- ever, is something more than an ingenious appliance ; it is a discovery which not only promises to revolutionize tho gumnakcr's a• .I it: but is applicable also to many other purposes as a motive power. Those who are interested in the Gilford gun claim that it is the military weapon of the future, The idea of using Iiquefied carbonic acid gas as proptdsive power is not new, but M. Gil - lard is the first who has turned it to peed - cal account. The gas gun is a model of simplicity, so far as one can. ,judge without examination of the discharging mechanism, in watch Hauch of the merit of 3i. Ciilard's invention lies..

MY SAPS Folt Vatu.nr,Et . If you turn a sleeping baby once in awhile on the bed lie will sleep longer and weaken much more refreshed than if left in one posi- tion until his little body is cramped Into rousing him in self-defence. Keep up the habit of clay naps for children until they tun sent to school. It rests thele and rests you. The victory over sleepless. !leas once gainedin babyhood is easily held if you keep to the eontlititgn--a child physically comfortable, a sleeping room cool, dark and quiet, and to have the naps begin at the same hour daily. One thing more, gauge naps so they will not interfere with regular eating hours. One uap a day is best taken just after the noon steal when the day is hottest. Where there are two have ono come, say, at 2 and one at 3 o'clock, etc. It pays, mothers, to take pains to regulate the baby lives; it pays them, and pays you and the household generally. A Mormu OF Six CIIILDUE::, wltuX nanr 1t.1.8 CROUP. L If WO Wirth to have success with our babies, the most important poiut is to see omwe€te. s that the baby's crib as well as the baby is kept perfectly clean. 2. Perfect care should he given to the baby's nursing bottle. It is best to keep two bottles on hand. Have ono all needy to put fresh food in when baby wakes up, its they usually do about 4 o'clock in the morning. Babies do not generally wish to wait after waking up to give time to cleanse it bottle. A bottle that has been either in bed or crib beside baby all night is not fit for use until thoroughly cleansed. A mother should always taste the food before giving it to her infant. 3. If a child wakes up with a touch of croup, what will give relief the soonest is a mixture of purr; bear's oil and alcohol rubbed all over the chest of the infant. TUB =nee MUTT. If a premium' were not put upon crying there would be far less of it indulged in by children, to the distress of all listeners. To be sure a cry is a baby's only signal of htmger, fear or Mime, ; but the crying done by children who want everything they see, and who are put in bad temper when denied what they should not have, is merely a bad habit. It can be overcome or, better yet, prevented by wise management Tho crying baby is encouraged by the mother or father or nurse who says " No, no, baby musn't touch 1" and then when baby sets up a howl, says. " Well, take it and stop your noise 1" The very next tin:e the child wants anything that he does not get on the instant, of course he cries for it. The remedy is here. If there is no good reason why the child should not have what he asks for or tries to get, give it to hin, not after he cries for it, but in the beginning. If there is some good reason for not comply- ing with the childish want, do not be ltd into doing the child an .injury. and making the family miserable by " giving in " to a temper fit. If a child who first makes known his wants by crying is told to stop crying (and say please, if old enough), and quietly made ;o do so before whatever is granted is given him, he will be much more likely to begin by saying please instead of setting up a scream the next time he wafts somethinf. A child too young to reason with, who gets whatever he cries for, soon falls into the natural belief that he must cry for what- ever he wants. The child who cries for what he cannot or should not have is best managed by divert- ing his attention to something else. It is a poor policy to let boy or girl, baby or older child cry, and ory from whatever cause. AUNT LUCY. Discouraging. "Oh, Edward, I'm so disappointed could cry," wailed the young wife. "What's the matter, darling? Don't be discouraged. We all have things go contrary at times." "It's so aggravating. I started out to make an apple pie, and I think I must have changed off to a cheese cake. But as it now looks more like a bag pudding tean either, I've had my trouble and expense for noth- ing." "That's all right, dear. It• won't go to waste. We'll simply use the compound for rat poison and start again." A DRY NIAGARA, One Occasion "Whets he Vrcat Cataract Farted to hoar,.
