Griefs of the World.Thre Is a cradle within the door

of one of the great Institutions of NewYork before which a constantly recurring tragedy is being enacted. ItIs a plain cradle, quite simply drapedIn white, but with such a look of cozycomfort about it that one wouldscarcely suspect it to be a cradle ofsorrow.

And thU cradle is the most usefuland, in a way, the most inhabitedctadle in the world. Day after day.and year after year, It is the recipientof more small wayfaring souls thanany other cradle In the history of therace. In It the real children of sorroware placed and over it more tears areshed than if it were an open grave.

It is the place where annually 1,200foundlings are placed the silent wit-ness of more heartbreaking scenesthan any other cradle since the worldbegan. For nearly thirty-fiv- e yearsIt has stood where it doesready-drape- open, while as manythousand mothers have stolen shame-facedly In and after looking hopeless-ly about, have laid their helpless off-spring within Its depths.

For thirty-fiv- e years, summer andwinter, In the bitterest cold and themost stifling heat, It has seen themcome the poor, the rich; the humble,the proud; the' beautiful, the homelyand one by one they have laid theirchildren down and brooded over them,whether it were possible for humanlove to make so great a sacrifice andyet not die.

Still the tragedy repeats itself and,year after year and day after day, theunlocked door 1b opened and de-throned virtue enters the victim ofIgnorance and passion and affection,and a child is robbed of an honorablehome. Tom Watson's Magazine.

JUDGE BROWN WOULD SETTLE.

Invited Guest Had No Use for the Billof Fare.

Judge Brown, whose boyhood homewas In a small New England village,had the reputation of being a verykind-hearte- man. He was alwaysglad to see his old friends, no matterhow rustic they might seem.

C.i one occasion the judge had somelegal business in the capital of hisnative state, and there met an oldfarmer from his birthplace, who wastaking an unwonted holiday andlooked rather bewildered. The judgeinvited the old man to dine with himat the hotel.

When the farmer took his heat atthe table one of the waiters laid abill of fare before him. The old manlooked at it, and then facing roundto look the waiter squarely in theface, he said, in a tone than rangthrough the (lining room: "No needto gimme that, young feller.

his father from cancer of the throatseemed suddenly afflicted with thesame disease. His throat botheredhim incessantly, his speech became al-most unintelligible and he grew hag-gard and thin from anxiety and pain.Most of all he missed his cigars, forhis physician at once cut off all smok-ing. One day he met an old collegefriend who had developed into a suc-cessful dentist. In the course of theirfirst conversation the patient men-tioned that he had been having soretrouble with the plate attached to anupper set of false teeth.

A large and complicated bridge wasfinally inserted and the plate discarded. To the patient's amazement, thethroat trouble disappeared along withthe plate.

ANIMALS NEVER IN IDLENESS.

They Reap Not, Neither Do They Spin,but Are Always Busy.

How Is It that birds and beastsmanage to pass through life withoutsuccumbing to ennui, or at least without being bored nearly to death? asksthe Indian Times. Animals, as arule, do not loaf; It Is n t thus thatthey solve the problem. Loafing is anart which but few living creatures understand. Lizards, crocodiles andchaprassleB are the greatest authori-ties on the subject. Animal have ac-quired the knack of making muchado about nothing; they have learnedto be very busy without doing any-thing. This accomplishment obvious-ly differs from that of loafing. It Isone which animals have brought toperfection, and of which many humanbeings chiefly women are ery ableexponents. There Is overhead a waspbusy exploring the holes In the trunkof a tree. Why he does this he prob-ably does not know; he has no time tostop and think. He Is quite contentto explore away as though his life de-pended upon it. Five times within thelast six minutes he has minutely In-spected every portion of the samehole. All this labor is useless, in asense. Without It, however, the waspwould in all probability die of ennui.The wasp Is not an isolated case.Most animals are experts at fritteringaway time; they spend much of theirlives In activity doing nothing. Watcha canary in a cage. He hops back-ward and forward between twoperches as though he was paid by thedistance for doing so. Look at a but-terfly.

THE DEAD FRIEND EXHIBITED.

Announcement of Undertaker RatherOut of Place.

My father was a member for sever-al years of the New Hampshire andVermont Methodist Episcopal confer-ences, says a writer in the BostonHerald. In common with all countrypastors, he had some laughable ex-periences, and he never failed to seethe point In each one.

At one time he was called to attendthe funeral of a man who had beenwell known and highly respected byhis townspeople. 'Twas a delightfulsummer day, and the attendance offriends was large and crowded thesmall farmhouse, so It was decided toplace the casket in the front yard.

The undertaker was a man of goodIntentions, but not gifted in speech,and when the time came for thefriends to view the remains he electri-fied the officiating clergyman andsome others by extending the invita-tion In this manner:

"The house being small, our deadfriend will be exhibited outdoors."

"I am satisfied that thousands ofwomen suffer because they do not real-ize how bad they really need treat-ment and feel a natural delicacy inconsulting a physician.

"I felt badly for years, had terriblepains, and at times was unable to at-tend to my daily duties. I tried to curemyself, but finally my attention wascalled to an advertisement of Peruna ina similar case to mine, and I decided togive it a trial.

CONQUERED AT LABT.

Mm. Murphy Tells Tier Fellow-Suffer-How She Got Kid of l".,. Troubles

by Slmplo llama Treatment."I had been bothered for several

years, " said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomachdisorder, and finally I became very weakand nervous. Flashes of heat wouldpass over me, and I wonld feel as if Iwas sinking down. At such times Iconld not do any household work, butWould have to lie down, and afterwardsI would have very trying uervons spells. "

" Didn't you have a doctor?" she vaaasked.

" Yes, I consulted several doctors bntmy health did not improve. One day afriend asked me why I did not try Dr.Williams' Pink Pills. She assured methat they had proved of the greatest ben-efit in the case of her daughter. In fact,she praised tbem so enthusiastically thatmy husband got me a box."

"And what was the result ?"" Before I had taken half of the first

box my condition wns greatly improved.The qnickness with which they reachedami relieved all my troubles was reallysurprising. After I hnd used only threeboxes I had no more heat-fashe- s orweak spells. Thanks to them, I havebecome a well woman."

Mrs. Mary D. Mnrphy lives at No,1903 Force street, Fort Wayne, Indiana.Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the remedywhich she found so satisfactory, furnishdirectly to the blood the elements thatgive vigor to every tissue of the body.They can be depended on to revive fail-ing strength, aud to banish nervous-ness. Their tonio properties ore abso-lutely unsurpassed.

As soon as there is drag, or dizziness, orpallor, or poor circulation, or disordereddigestion, or restlessness, or pains, or ir-regularities of any kind these famouspills should be used. They bare curedthe most obstiuato cases of nnaemia, dys-pepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousprostration and oven part ml purnlysis.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.All railroad men qualified to Bpeak

on the subject la a responsible wayare likely to agree with PresidentSamuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-way when he says: "There is.no di-vision of opinion as to the desirabilityof stopping all secret or unjustly dis-criminatory devices and practises ofwhatsoever character."

Mr. Spencer, in spcal-.'n- of "un-justly discriminatory" rates and de-vices, makes a distinction which is atonce apparent to common sense. Theremay be discrimination in freight rateswhich is Just, reasonable and impera-tively required by the complex com-mercial and geographical conditionswith which expert rate makers haveto deal. To abolish such open andhonest discrimination might paralyzethe industries of cities, states andwhole sections of our national terri-tory.

This distinction between just andunjust discrimination is clearly recog-nized In the conclusions of the Inter-national Railway Congress, publishedyeslerday:

"Tariffs Mould be based on commer-cial principles, inking into account thespecial conditions which bear upon thecommercial value of the services ren-dered. With the reservation thut rates

hall he charged without arbitrary dis-crimination to all shippers alike underlike conditions, the making of ratesshould as far as possible nave all thoelasticity necessary to permit the devel-opment of the traffic and to produce thegreatest results to the public and to therailroads themselves."

The present proposal is, as Mr.Walker D. Hines of Louisville showedin his remarkable testimony the otherday before the Senate Committee atWashington, to crystallize flexible andJustly discriminatory rates into fixedgovernment rates which cannot bechanged except by the Intervention ofsome government tribunal, and by thisvery process to Increase "the tempta-tion to depart from the published rateand the lawful rate in order to meetsome overpowering and urgent com-mercial condition."

Bridge building on the Mississippiriver has never been attended withno many distinguishing features inter-esting to workers in many lines asfci." the new structure at Thebes, 111.,which was opened to the traffic offive railroads May 26.

This bridge forms a new and greatgateway from Chicago to the south-west.

It has cost $3,000,000.It has cost sixteen human lives.It has required three years to

build It.It is built at a grade of only one-hal- f

of 1 per cent.It has no draw and clears boats at

high water mark.It is four miles long counting the

approaches in both states.It has twelve of the largest con-

crete arches on the Mississippi.It is the only bridge that took Its

Bteel superstructure from two float-ing trains of ten and twelve cars each.

It Is the only bridge that built itspneumatic caissons on barges whencethey were launched into the river.

It is the only bridge that was builtby a special company formed of fivegeneral managers of five great rail-way systems.

Its grade is such as to make Itto double St.

freight across the Mississippi.It required the use of 73.000 barrels

of cement. It used up 14,000 tons of

He graduated at thehigh school at Lancaster last year.He has been employed for ninemonths as a bookkeeper with the LeeLive Stock Commission company ofthe Chicago stock yards. He hadstudied Spanish a little and there metwith the assistant consul of Spain,with whom he studied more. Therealso he met a Spanish count who waslooking for an American to go and in-struct the king in American ways andbusiness. The count was favorablyImpressed and recommended the

young man as such instructor. Moneyhas been supplied to him by the con-u- l

It has rejuvenated one of the oldest Illinois towns and caused a newone to be built In Missouri.

It has caused the building of an Illi-nois railroad 1Z9 miles long at a gradeof but seven feet to the mile.

It is approached by one road that Isrequired to pass around a loop twentymiles in circumference In order toreach its level.

It is a triumph of engineering skill.The low grade of the bridge Is Its

predominating feature. Before It wasbuilt the bridge at Memphis was soldto be the lowest on the river. It is1 per cent on one side of the riverand 1 per cent on the other side.The Thebes bridge has been built andapproached at a grade of one-hal- f of1 per cent. Both of the St. Louisbridges have steeper grades.

It is claimed that on account of thisgrade feature a large tonnage offi eight will be diverted from Mem-phis and St. Louis; that the great bulkof the southwestern lines of the Gouldsystem will be brought across atThebes, and some of the southwesternfreight destined for St. Louis willcross the river on the new bridge,run up the east side of the river inIllinois, and then be sent back IntoMissouri at East St. Louis.

LAURIER A GREAT STATESMAN.

Capacity of Premier of Canada Uni-versally Conceded.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Can-ada, is frequently referred to as per-haps the greatest statesman In all the"British empire, regarded either asleader of the people, public speakeror authority on parliamentary usage.Tall, thin and straight as an arrow,with countenance mild, serious andsympathetic and a large,

brow, Indicative of strength ofmind and resourcefulness of purpose,the Canadian prime minister, when herises to address a public gathering, atonce commands attention. His fatherwas a poor surveyor in the parish ofSt. Lin, where Sir Wilfrid was born in1841. This a Scotch settlement,and from a schoolmaster and mer-chant of that nationality the youthlearned regarding the achievementsof the liberal party In Great Britain.He frequently declares that much ofhis success is due to the lessonsdrawn from what he heard from thesetwo men In his boyhood days.

Great French Foreign Minister.M. Delcasse, the French minister

of foreign affairs, is now In his fifty-thir- dyear. His appearance is not at

all striking except possibly for thenegative reason alleged by M. Roche-for- t

and the caricaturists, thoughwhen the pasquinading editor of theIntranslgeant describes him as "stand-ing on his three Inches of little legs"there is obvious exaggeration. Yet In anation not noted for stature M. Del-casse is conspicuously small. But onthe other hand, he is wiry and tough.His round head, close-croppe- d hair,keen eyes, retrousse nose, bristlingmustache and locked mouth are thoBeof a tighter, and, moreover, his wholeappearance suggests a man capable ofmuch toil.

Germans Going to Canada.N. Kaumanns, an expert connected

with the agricultural department ofGermany, is In this country investigat-ing conditions among his countrymen.He says the more desirable Germanimmigrants are not settling In theUnited States, but are going to Can-ada. This is because many of themhave been deceived by land boomers,who have sent all sorts of

literature to German hamlets andvillages. When the immigrant arriveshe finds that the promises on whichhe relied cannot be redeemed. As aresult Germans of the better agricul-tural sort are going to Canada, andsome time must elapse before confi-dence can be restored.

Even the nativessail with their lives In their hands,and Dr. Grenfell, on his missions o(mercy, often calls upon the crew ofhis boat to face perils which evendaunt them. Wherever he goes he Icphysician, minister and lawgiver.

FRESH-AI- R

Most Potent Meant? ofPatients

Dr. F. R. Walters In his study onthe various sanatoria for consumptivescalls the open-ai- r life the keynote ofsanatorium treatment. He furthersays that the patient, Instead of beingkept In a carefully warmed room ven-tilated from other parts of the house,according to the popular notions ofold, lives In the open ilr from morn-ing till night, at all seasons and in allweathers. I k of fresh air Is thegreatest predisposing cause of con-sumption; fresh air 1b the most po-tent means of restoring him to health.

Now this prescription Is very easyto carry out In dry climates such aBthose of Egypt, the Alpine health re-sorts, South Africa or Colorado; butIt requires special arrangements andspecial precautions in a damp andrainy climate. The credit of showinghow this may be accomplished belongsmainly to Brehmenr, Dettweiler andtheir followers. The open-ai- r methodmay perfectly well be carried out Inany climate which is healthy for thosewho are not consumptive. Ab LeonPetit observes: "Here the climatemay help the cure, . . . there itmay hinder It; but It only exerts asecondary Influence on the treatment."(1) Moreover, Just as the pleasantestclimates are not always those whichare best for healthy people. (2) so itmay be that the most pleasant clim-ates for an life where theair is warm and dry and little rainfalls are not beBt for those consump-tives who have later on to return toa leas favored place. It Is bracingclimates rather than warm and equ-able ones which have the greatest in-fluence in restoring the consumptiveto health, In all but exceptional cases.

For the open-ai- r treatment, a fourfold shelter should be provided againstwind, excessive cold, extreme sun heatand rain. Wind raises dust, increasescough in consumptives, and intensifiesthe chilling effects of cold. The for-eign sanatoria with few exceptionshave both natural and artificial shelteragainst wind. Cold within certain lim-its is useful to the consumptive; butit should be a windless cold, and suit-ed to the individual power of reac-tion. As damp intensifies the cli-matic effect of both heat and cold, thechilly consumptive will be able towithstand a lower temperature in adry than in a humid climate. Protec-tion against rain and snow will seemto most people an obvious necessity,although at Nordach rain is often dis-regarded. It is not enough to provideresting places in the sanatoriumwhich are protected against rain. Atcertain stages exercise is imperative,and sheltered paths and open coveredcorridors are needed for exercise inrainy weather. At Falkmstein thereIs such a corridor 200 feet long.

In places where the sun's rays arevery powerful, as at Canigou in thePyrenees, direct exposure to the sunIs found to Increase the tendency tofever. Even at Hohenhonnef on theRhine, which is not far south, a largeverandah has been provided which inhot weather can be a tificially cooledby a ' stream of water. Protectionagainst wind and weather is affordedin most santoiia by large verandas,which may be fitted with movableglass screens, as the Adirondack Cot-tage Sanatorium. In our own climateit would be useful to have a verandawith a hollow floor, which could bewarmed, as cold and damp can bemore easily borne If the feet arekept warm. Other simpler ways arethe provision of hot bottles and warmclothing. Recumbency also helps achilly patient, the ;lood circulatingwith less cardiac effort in this posi-tion. According to Dr. Weicker andDr. Jacoby, the recumbent positionalso favors the flow of blood to theapices of the lungB. Ic aio'st foreignsanatoria summer houses or sunboxes are also provided; at Falken-stei-

some of these can be rotated ac-cording to the direction of the wind.Dr. Burton-Fanning- , In his experi-mental sanatorium near Cromer, hasmodified the well-kow- shelters ofour seaside resortb by providing themwith reversible glass screens.

Stable and Conditions."The condition and health of a

horse," says the National Builder, "de-pend very much upon the kind ofBtable It is kept In. There are horseswhich suffer from disease of the eyes,from coughs, from scratches andother skin dlseasej, all of which areproduced by the pungent, foul air Inthe stables. Farmers and others whohave horses will take pains to keeptheir carriages and harnesses protect-ed from the strong ammonical air ofthe stables, lest the leather may berotted or the varnish dulled and spot-ted; and at the same time they willwonder why their horses cough, orhave weak eyes or orsuffer from other diseases which, ifthey would only think for a few min-utes they would readily perceive aredue to the foul air the animals arecompelled to breathe every night inthe year while confined in close, badlyventilated stables. The remedy isvery easy. The stable should be keptclean; this will prevent the greaterpart of the mischief, and it should bewell ventilated. The floor should beproperly drained, so that the liquidwill not remain on It, washed off atleast twice a week with plenty of wa-ter, and then liberally sprinkled withfinely ground gypsum (piaster!, whichwill combine with and destroy the am- -

Lastly, the floor should be sup-plied with absorbent litter, whichshould be removed when It Is soiled.VentHatlon should be provided Insuch a way as to avoid cold draftsSmall openings, which may be easilyclosed with a slide, may be made Inthe outer wall near the floor, andsimilar ones near the celling, or Inthe roof, through which the foul aircan escape. Pure air Is of the utmostImportance to the well-bein- ofhorses."

Insomnia.This very common condition Is

most often due to six o'clock dinnersor eating In the evening. To secureso'.ind sleep, no food should be takenafter 4 p. m., or at least nothing morethan a little ripe stewed fruit, withoutcream, and with as little sugar as possible, better with none. Oranges orsomeother juicy fruit are preferablefor an evening's lunch. Avoid breadand butter or milk, and similar articles which digest slowly. Fruit Juicesand completely predlgested food Bubstances may be added In moderation

Tea and coffee also produce sleeplessness. Sedentary habits conduceto sleeplessness by promoting the ac-cumulation of uric acid, which Is anerve excitant, and gives rise to rest-lessness and disturbing dreams.

Said the wise man, "The sleep ofthe laboring man Is sweet." Eccl. 6:12.Gentle fatigue produced by exerciseout of doors is wonderfully effectiveas a means of producing sleep. Aprolonged hath, fifteen to forty min-utes, or even longer If necessary, ata temperature of 92 degrees to 95 de-grees F., taken just before retiring, isan excellent remedy for sleepless-ness. The moist abdominal bandage,consisting of a towel wrung quite dryout of cold water and wound aroundthe body, covered snugly with mack-intosh and then with flannel In suf-ficient quantity to keep It warm, Is anexceedingly helpful measure in producing sleep in cases in which sleep-lessness is due to of blood Inthe brain. Care must be taken tokeep the feet warm. If necessary, ahot bag may be applied to the feet ora moist pack to each leg. If the headis hot, a cool compress may be ap-plied.
