It ni a joyo; company id young,
middle aged and aged people who tod
gregutw! at the home of Mr. nd Mrs.
Samuel Larkin in SoBqaohaniia, Pa.
They met in honor of Uw fiftieth wed
dm g anniversary ol their host and host
ess, who had passed their allotted three
score yean and ten and were Will in the
eujoyntent of perfect neaitn.
Several sweet faced, langhing grand
children were present to contribute
their snare of sunshine to the occasion.
Little 6-year-old liar; Edwards, with
her bright blue eyes and light tresses,
was there. After kissing her grand
mother affectionately she sprang upon
her grandfather's lap, exclaiming,
"Grandpa, I have lots of kisses and
bear hng for yon."
Thsn the old man pressed the sweet
face or his favorite grandchild to his,
fervently remarking: "God bleat yon,
Mary. No company wonld be complete
without yon. Yon an the embodiment
of sunshine itself, and I trout yon will
grow to be a noble woman."
"Tell me bow much yon love ma,
grandpa," said the child, "and then I
will give yon the kisses and the bear
bog."
"I cannot tell yon bow much I love
yon, child," answered the old man,
"hut I can assure yon it b a big lot"
Then Grandfather Larkin imprinted
kiss after kiss upon the ruby cheeks,
and the child, delighted at the mani
festation of affection, returned the com
pliment, and then, throwing her little
arms about the old man's" neck, Rave
the promised "bear bug." She then
crawled down from grandpa's lap and
busied herself for a time among other
of the company. An hour later, and
just before the joyous party were about
to partake of dinner, the same little
Alary approached her grandfather, re
marking, "Grandpa, I want to give yon
one more kin before dinner, and then 1
want yon to ait by me at the table."
The old man smiled and lifted the
little girl in his arms. Two minutes
later he felt a tickling sensation in his
throat and realised that in returning
the last kiss a hair had cangbt in his
mouth and been sucked into his wind
pipe. This immediately produced hard fits
of coughing, and before relief could be
obtained a blood vessel was ruptured,
and death resulted instantly.
Consternation reigned for a time, and
the aged partner of the unfortunate sep
tuagenarian, overcome with grief, tell
in a swoon. She rallied an hour later,
but it is thought her great grief will
caii 'e bar death in a short time. New

otu. Sapid!? FalUnf t Ruin.
"A poet could write on "The Desert
ed Tillage vrifh Virginia City as a sub
ject and surpass Goldsmith's immortal
production en the same topic," said E.
L. Hearae of San Francisco to a Globs
Democrat man. "The first time that 1
was ever there the population of Vir
ginia City was greater than that of the
entire state now. Everything ran wide
open. Magnificent hotels and opera
balls, palatial residences, stares that
wonid have done credit to New York,
millionaires who spent money freely,
maintaining a society that for brillian
cy and gayery could not be equaled in
the United States. I was there a short
time ago. The hotels and opera houses
are closed, the residences empty, the
stores removed to other and more pros
perous places. Dwellings thatcost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are given
over to the bats, and the broken panes
of glass, the shutters hanging upon a
single hinge or flapping in the wind,
give a grevmome sense of loneliness.
In years to come it will afford magnifi
cent spectacles of ruins, and even now
in some sections of the town there is a
sense to the beholder of being in a city
of the past. Millions were made and
lost, and the history of Virginia City
woold be one of the most thrilling sto
ries ever written." St Louis Globs

DYNAMITE IN THE DISH.

ad Bualea often.
A shocking tragedy of amost remark
able character is reported from Vilna.
Ivan Kiss-wits, a customs officer of
highly respectable connection, became
convinced that bis wife was in league
with a neighbor to aid ,the latter in a
I lawsuit which was ponding against him.
! ThoM ra imnvuntlv nn uiatifiinf inn
for the charge. The lawsuit was tried
in the local courts last week, and Klufc
wits lost the case, fie addressed the
judge in an excited manner, and after
making a rambling statement implicat
ing bis wife in an intrigue against him
be left the courtroom.
Later in the day. however, be pro
leased regret to his wife for his baseless
Insinuations and hasty temper, and
asked hia neighbor and his wife to dine
with him en f ami lie. Thinking it bet
ter that a conciliation should take place,
the neighbor accepted, and a social
evening was arranged for. At dinner
then were present Xlakwitx, his wife,
his two daughters, aged 19 and 17 years
respectively; a young son, aged 11; his
wife's mother and hia neighbor and his
wife. "
The dinner passed off very pleasantly
until the third course, when Klakwiti
rose, atid ordering some more cham
pagne to be opened said that he wished
all present to drink a toast to a special
dish he had prepared as a surprise for
this agreeable occasion, fie then left
the room, and within two minutes re
turned bearing in hia arms a large dish
covered with a dinner cover, and plac
ing it quickly on the table he lifted his
glass on high and shouted, "To oar
neat meeting."
fie had scarcely spoken these words
when (dynamite bomb, which had been
hidden under the cover, exploded, and
instantly killed every one in the room
with the exception of the servant girl
and the youngest daughter the latter
living, however, only long enough to
tell exactly what happened. The serv
ant died within two hours.
The unfurtunste people who were the
victims of this insane frolic were sim

A WONDERFUL GERM DESTROYER.
Benent Inveettsatton. Vhten Dave Opened
a Kew Field In HedleJna.
About 10 years ago a medical scien
tist advanced the theory that, in its nor
mal condition, blood contained an ele
ment that instantly killed many forms
of bacteria. In this healthy state blood
has been injected into the veins of dis
eased persons lor this purpose and has
begun the work of destruction. There
suits had not been satisfactory, as the
amount of blood required was so great
as to make continued experiments un
wise. Becent investigations have confirmed
the original idea, and a series of exper
iments of late conducted at the Univer
sity of Michigan reveal most interest
ing possibilities. The destroying prin
ciple has been separated from the blood,
and with it germs of cholera and an
thrax have been killed. This element,
to which the nsme of neuclin has been
given, is colorless and transparent The
vital essence of it seems tenacious of
life, as high degrees of heat, even to
the boiling point, do not seem to dimin
ish its activity. If this discovery does
all that it promises, it marks an incal
culable advance in medical science. In
jected into the veins of persons suffer
ing from many forms of germ poison
ing, it immediately begins its benefi
cent task of ridding the system of the
enemy. Thus a new field in medicine
is opened, the ultimate results of which
even the most comprehensive mind can
scarcely estimate. Kew York Ledger.

We learn from Chicago that the new

in compounding it says it is made of
the choice elements of Jlosaiam. Chris

Mohammedanism, Benanism, Confu
cianism and other beliefs, both ancient
and modem. Assurance of its solidity
is given by its compounders, among
whom are a Cniversalist, a PopuUte,
two liberal rabbis, a Unitarian, a Hin
doo and an agnostic The extracts have
been made with care, so that it shall be
suitable to every mind in all parts of
the world. It has not yet been mar
keted, on account of the difficulty of
getting a good name for it, a descrip
tive name that shall convey some ides
of its elementary principles, and that
hall be attractive to mankind. Why
not end the trouble and straggle at once
and give the new religion a boom by
calling it Chicsgoiam? New York Bun.

Our strangest mistakes are due to of

THOMAS GODBEPRAISED.
A Una Wl,n Itoam Hurt Feaallar Hasaa
Tails Bow It Originated.
The register of the CHrard Boos re
cently recorded the arrival in the oity of
Thomas Godbspraised of Barrow-m-Fnr-ness,
England. Being approached upon
Ihe subject of the oddity of his surname,
Mr, Godbepraised said:
"Tee, I suppose the name does sound
rery odd to Americans, although eueh
imiiies are not altogether unusual in
England and especially in Lancashire,
Which was a stronghold of the Sound
heads or Puritans in Cromwell's time.
My home is in Barrow-in-Furness, which
is in Lancashire. My ancestors prior to
Cromwell's time were all royalists. The
family name was Elliot A younger son
renounced the religions faith and politi
cal opinions of hia forefathers and be
came a Puritan. As was usual in such
cases he abjured his carnal name of
Charles Elliot and took the inspired one
of Ezekiel Godbepraised.
"There is quite a romance connected
with this ancestor of mine. He fell in
love with the only daughter of a Colonel
Fielding in the Cavaliers' army, and not
being able to obtain her father's consent
to their marriage Ezekiel abducted her
and for two years kept her hidden in a
dreary house that stood near the little
town of Form by, where a son was born.
After a battle a little to the south of the
River Mersey between the Cavaliers and
Roundheads her brothers discovered her
and carried her oft to old Fumeae abbey.
In the hurry the child was left behind,
but as a result of the mother's pleading
one of the brothers returned to Formhy
to get it
"In the meantime Exekiel had discov
ered his loss and removed the child.
Then the followed the brother back to
Ferness abbey, but arrived too late. The
brother and sister had set Bail from Bar
row heach for the isle of Man. A storm
came up. and Exekiel arrived just in time
to see the boat founder. He returned to
hischild more bitter against the royalists
than ever and brought the child up with
the same sentiments.
"At the close of the war Exekiel adopt
ed the trade of a weaver and settled in
Barrow-in-Furness. Thus the name was
perpetuated, the stern commands of the
father forbidding the son to throw off the
fanatical nickname when the heat of Pu
ritanical seal had given away.'' Phila

The Different tondaaa.
The size of London is somewhat in
definite, but may be said to cover about
a square mile. The postal district covert
an area of 250 square miles. The polios
district extends still farther, covering
an area of 687 square miles. On the
other band, the parliamentary London
is much narrower. It consists of 10 bor
oughs, of -which the city of London, al
though the smallest having 80,563 in
habitants in 1881 is represented by four
members on account of its commercial
and financial importance, while each of
the other nine, although larger, is repre
sented only by two; Westminster, 236,
413; Chelsea, 208,011; Marylebone, 477,
636; Hackney. 882,127; Finsbury, 483,
816; Tower Hamlets, 891,558; Lambeth,
578.112; Boutbwalk, 2M.233; Greenwich,
167,632.
Put together, these 10 boroughs repre
sent only a population of about 8,000,000,
and the remainder of the inhabitants of
the city belong to nonmetropolitan elec
toral districts. Generally, however, the
size of the city is determined by the area
under the operation of the metropolis
local government act, which is also
adopted by the registrar general of the
census. According to the definition, Lon
don covers an area of 132 square miles,

The costliest meal ever served, as far
as history snows, was a supper given by
Aelin Terns, one of the most lavish of
the latter day Soman aristocrats, . The
supper was only intended for a dosen
persons, yet its cost was 6,000 sestertla,
which would amount to 48,000 in Eng

The celebrated feast given by Vitel

When Mrs. Lynn Linton forgets to be

saying tome fairly pleasant things. The
idea that many tilings of value cannot
be bought ami that thnm thintji which
tan be bought are only of seoon lary im

new. Two or three people had hit npon
It before Mrs. Liuton. But wfin she
says about the nnpurchasable tb r.j is
tot the lees interesting and timely be
cause they have been said ever since the
deluge. , ,
There is happiness, she tells us, that
gold may not buy. "When the woman
yon love deceives you, and the "portrait
gem clasped' worn over her heart showi
another face than yours when the bus
band yon wore unconventional enough
to love in the fearless old fashion l.i

your ton has disgraced his name and
by his own lack uf honor has stendercd

Clandes and Tnrners, your Limoges en
amels and old Venetian glass ease the
smart? Does your splendid collection of
first editions in their perfect bindis-

as well as to women's, when the bitter

and farms, your balance at the banker's,

when your favorite daughter runs off
with the groom, and her sister drowns
herself in despair? Not Happiness it

though you give 10 shillings for the val

hands of the clock nor blunt the scythe

"That enamel it cleverly done; that
dyed, frizzed hair is a veritable work of
art; those painted cheeks annulate the
carnations of youth more creditably
than in W of your competitors, but the
cruel fact remains untouched youth
cannot be purchased and old age cannot
be bought off. The poor old shriveled
skin gradually grows more and more
like parchment The fading eyes lose
their brightness, and not belladonna it
