It may be you have noticed a care-worn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. I don’t mean for you to run at it and shake your skirts and tell it to " shoe,” as you would a hen, nor do I expect you to get on the other side of the fence and throw old oyster cans and pieces of barrel staves at it, as you did at the cow yester- day. But I want you to get up to-morrow morning and get breakfast, and when your mother comes down and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You don’t imagine how it will brighten her dear old face“ Besides, cu owe her a kiss or two.‘ Away has when you were a little girl she hadkissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attrao. tive then as you are now. And along through those years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mother’s kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with this rough old world. And then the midnight kisses with which she has routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned above your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long, long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as on are, but if you had done your share 0 the work during these last ten years the contrast would not be so marked.

She will leave you one of these days. Those burdens, it not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough. hard hands that have done so many unnecessary things for you will be crossed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your figst baby kiss will be forever closed, an those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eter- nity, and then you Will an reciate your mother. but it will be too ate. There, there, don’t cry; she has not left you yet. She is down in the kitchen stringing beans for dinner, and if you feel so badly you might go down and finish them, and let her change her dress and rest an hour be- fore dinner. And after dinner you might do up _the dishes while she takes a little ‘,L_ JA__ I...â€" Ln:â€" uv at v v _-â€"_ nap. Then you might take down her hair and do it up for her. You need not wind it over your finger and fuse to make little spit curls as you used to do with yours, but give it a good brushing and wind it up gently and tenderly, as if you enjoyed doing it for her. The young man down in the arlor can wait until you have per- form these duties. If he expresses any impatience, you may explain to him that you feel under more obligations to your mother than you do to him. If this does not seem to :satisfy him. ask him how many times he has got {up in the middle 0; the night towarm peppermint for you when you were dying of the colic. or how many times he has carried you up and dowu the room just because you would not be quieted any other way.

The dispute between the two branches. of tho Order has been carried into the Court of Chanceryin London. The branch bringing the suit allege that McGloghlan, the founder of the Order. was ex elled. but he holds that they have out o from the original body. of which he remains the head. Some time ago McGloghlan gave notice of a meeting in Toronto, but was prevented from holding it by the injunction of the court. He conducts a newspaper. and. it is alleged, has libelled several of his opponents. He also holds the seal of the Order. as well as some 8200 of funds. and the opposition branch claim that he is doing so illegally. They entered a suit in Chancery to restrain him from holding office. and to force him to give u the seal and money. The case occupied hursday ‘and yesterda and the argument was ilengthy and ull. Mr. W. R. Meredith fought hard for his client. Mr. Blake asked to amend his bill, and the decree was given by His Lordship. after a thor- ough review of the case, in these words: " The bill is amended by making the Supreme Tent co~ laintiiis. The injunc- tion is continued. he defendantis further restrained from preventing plaintiffs from getting the money: he is to give up the seal and pay the costs."

In the catalogue of games known to the average boy there is one that has always‘ enjoyed extraordinary popularity, com- monly called leap-frog. The peculiar char- acter of this game is sumoient to indicate that it was intended for the male sprouts of the rising generation exclusively. The coroner had a sad case to dispose of yester~ day, which demonstrated most conclusively that the girl who plays the game does it at the peril of her life. Elizabeth E. Zeller,1 a young girl residing at No. 2.001 De Kalb \ street, left her home gay and happy last Saturday afternoon for school. In the evening she came home with a bruise on. her forehead. which she said was only a scratch she had sustained while playing leapfrog with a number of other girls. The girls, she explained to her mother. arran ed themselves in a‘row. and she suc- ceed in making all the leaps but one without the slightest difficulty. When she attempted to leap over the shoulders of the last girl in the row her dress caught on the girl's head, and caused her to fall head foremost to the ground. Nothing more was thought of the accident by her friends. and the leap-frog game was scarcely men‘, tioned until Tuesday. when it was recalled to memory b the girl's anxious mother. as soon as t e girl returned home from school in the afternoon and complained ‘0! a severe headache and began to ‘vomit. These symptoms were fol- ‘lcwed by a chill. On Wednesday morning the severe pain that shot through her head caused her to moan and _scream_, so great was her suffering. She lingered with a consuming fever until Wednesday noon, when she died. The coroner held inquest on her body yesterday. and!: dered as his verdict that the deceased the to her death from congestion of the brain, following accidental concussion. It was a and enough ease to warn irls against leap- frog in the future. The girl was on the eve of her eleventh year. a bri ht child. efleo~ tionste, kind. beloved by 31 her associates, and idolized by her grief-stricken mother. â€"St. Louis Ikeâ€"publicafi.

" that the ao-called coal dust is peculiar on account 0! its round appearance. Upon examination with the microscope it is found that these particles are covered with millions of these cinm: anthracim.

He said that coal oil was but another form of these insects, but that in this liquid state they had become crushed, and those that esca forced their way to‘ the surface. where t ey were found. “ You have often noti ,” said the professor,‘ “ that when coal is first placed upon a fire,‘ or when it is ignited. there is a crackling} hissing noise. and pieces fly about in the grate or rang . T at is caused by the death struggles of these insects. The more of these there are in coal the quicker it burns. Housekeepers often wonder why it is that one ton of coal will last longer than another. The cause of this is easily explainedâ€" one has more of the cimcx anthracitua in it than the other. Ber-.rding-house keepers who purchase cheap coal pay half. for coal and the other half for a load of these awful insects as a general thing. Servant girls, stokers in fire-rooms and housewives can- not be too careful when moving abouta coal pile, for if one of these minute creatures should get upon their clothing or flesh the former would be eaten into holes quicker than by moths.

Startling revelations about the human voice have been made by a French physi- cian. Careful experiments convinced him that both among animals and birds the voice is more sharp and piercing than in the higher species of races. The ancients also (he says) had more shrill voices than late generationsâ€"a fact which he prohahl ascertained by means of the phosograp used by Homer and dug up somewhere by Schliemann. I! we add to these facts the consideration that in the individual too. the voice gradually changes from soprano to tenor and through baritone to bass. it would follow ‘(as a corollary of the Darwinian law that 1the development 02 the individual is a recapitulation of that o! the race) that in course of time tenors and sopranos are destined to disappear altogether. leaving only altos and bassos. Right here comes in the use of the phonograph. The last surviving sopranos and tenors will doubt- less be employed by government to devote their life to singing into the phonograph for the benefit of future generations. who would otherwise be deprived of this luxury. And thus Edison's name will be cleared of the awful impu- tation that in the phonograph he invented a mere ~scientiflc toy. But our Frenchman has some further observa- tions to make. Blondes, he says, usually have higher voices than hrunettes. which LL‘L is borne out . by the observation that sopranos and tenors are usually light. basses and altos of dark com lexion. Among earnest and intelli ant to k bass voices prevail. while the frivc ous are tenors. Before dinner. too, the voicb is higher than after dinner. a circumstance which compels tenors to dine early, in order to preserve the high pitch of their voice. Finally, the use of spirituous liquors leads to congestion of the larynx, wherefore tenors must be sparing in their use of them, while basses may drink and eat as much as they please. Many ol the Congregation Poisoned I" a Gas Escape. A melodrama not included in the order of services was provided last Sunday in the North Church of Linn,Mass. The furnace fires had been lighted that morning for the first time this season, and the flues. not doing their duty, a great volume of coal gas gradually escaped into the church. It accumulated in an insidious manner, and no one seemed to be aware of its presence until just as the services were ending. Then the doors wore opened as usual, and suddenly for some reason the poison took efiect. No fewer than twenty persons dro ped down helplessly in difierent parts of t e room, and scores of worshippers were more or less affected. The church was finally cleared, and those who had been entirely overcome were laid in rows upon the lawn, where they gradually recovered their senses. No one was fatally injured by the poisonous gas, but it is the ht that the attendance at divine worship t e com- ing Sunday will be materially diminished. Immense sensation has been excited in France by the letters from northern Africa printed in a late number of the Gazette Medicale describing the condition of the medical departments of the armies in Tunis and Algiers. In one hospital. which had been established for three months. the sick were lying in their clothes. side b side, on the ground. There were but two aeins for the use of eighty men sick with typhoid fever, and the doctors had hardly any medicines at all to give them. In another hospital the bed coverings could not be washed for want of water, and men already exhausted by sickness were laced on the rugs in which men had atsly died of ty hus fever. In another letter we read of a octor being left (or ten days in charge of a party of forty~six sick and wounded men. with only three days’ provisions, and no drugs. except a solution of morphia and a small acket of glycerine ; while at another place t e misery of the sick was so great that the officers of the garrison themselves subscribed to buy food, medicine and bed- ding for them. Ir Dr. Crothers. Superintendent of the Hartford Inebriate Asylum. is correct in his observations and contentions. a new species of insanity plea will be advanced. and made to hold good in regard to a cer- tain class of offences. Dr. Crothersrecently told the Medicc-Legal Society of New York that there is a trance state following inebriety, in which the patient is legally and practically irresponsible for his acts. His conduct in that condition is purely automatic, and he has no knowledge of what he is doing or recollection of it afterward. Dr. Crothers gave details drawn from his study of sixty~two cases that had come under his care. In some of these cases a customary routine would be followed automatically. In other cases strange. inconsistent and purposeless acts wouldbedone. Some of the cases cited were very curious. An atheist physician would turn up at religious meetings. pray and exhort fervently, till the church people with joy over his conversion. and. on recovery from the trance. had no recollec- tion of his behavior. and was aniry and mortified on hearing of it. A ashful farmer used to go courting only in this trance state. Wife beating. bigamy, forgerg horse stealing. and homicide have on committed in this trance state. and the offender was uncon- 1scious of the act. and according to Dr. ‘Crothers not responsible for it.
