At ray friend Mrs- Urown's there is a housebold of boys and girls. The youngest two are twins, about four years old. They have an elder brother. Tom. One day last autumn, Tom waa standing at the pate, when an emigrant-waon came iu tight; and lagging oa behind it was a big ooy wim a aouaey. öuen a wretched-Iook-inr beast as he was! So thin and so shaky! it seemed as it lie could not move a step larmer. morr me ooy wmppeu mm, tbe more te kept still. At last, turning to Tom Erown, the tig boy said: Look here, fellow, you may have this tine, briak donkev for 50 cents - You'll never have another such a bargain of fered you. " jneicrea 01 getting a Jive donkey for ro tents was almost too much for Tom. Wait a minute," he cried, and then rushing into tbe house, he exclaimed, "O mother, give me 0 cents, and ask no questions. Oh mother, do! I can't tell you what it is for, but do give it to me quick: ' Mrs. Brown handed him the money; but as he run ou with it she followed to see what was coirjg on. At the e&te she saw the doakey. and the big boy panting with the effort I fceatini him, and learned that Tom wanted tie money to buy the poor beast. Mrs. urown interposed. "It will never do, Tom," said she. "That donkey is nothlrg but skin and bone and bruises. He will die before morning, and then you will have a dead donkey on yoar hands. Give me l ac k t he money." "t-adly, Tom gave it back, though his lip tpivered and a tear came to his eye, for he im great pity for the poor beaten beast. Turning to the big boy, he said: "You see 1 must give it up. My mother has taken tack the money. The big boy scratched his head a moment. f,s if in doubt. Then he made another effort t3 u:ce on the donkey, but it was in vain: aDd be said : ' Look here, fellow. I'm bound to nave a trade ol some sort. Just look at tfcat beast: Is it speed you want? Look at those legs! Is it beauty you want? Look ninosenos: i enow, eio you own such a thing as a jack-knife? "Yes, a trst-rate one; here it is," said iom. "Well, i ll not be hard on you." said the big boy; "yoa may hare the donkey for the (.'me as a Cash, Tom banded him the '.ack-kni'e, and the big boy placed the rope that he.d the donkey in his handsMrs. Brown looked from her window, and there, to ber dismay, was the poor donkey iirapirg into tee yard, followed by a tioop , of s toe ting boys. He had been beaten so badly that I think be must have been very gian 01 me cnange ot masters. Oh wViaf an aiftnn n iVa f.nv'1.l' thought Mrs. Brown. But she was an indulgent mother, and so made the best of it. The poor beast was well housed and fed. and rubbed down. In two months he had grown fat, and had improved greatlr in his looks, while he was so gentle and good that it waa a pleasure to see him. One day last month the twins took turns in naing mm. aoa iom had never to use the whjp to make him go. Sometimes a boy would get on his back, while the donkey crew one oi the children on a sled. He waa now a very nseful donkey. lie evidently thinks he did a very bright thing in refusing to go by Mrs. Brown a gate, lie has fallen into rood and tender hands, and the boys and girls all have a deal of fan out of him.

A Cat' View oC Life. School and Home. This is the very worst world that I ever got into, i aeciare, a cat can t do a single thing, but what some one gets after it. This mornisg, when I woke up, I felt thirsty. As I like fresh water, I was just ready to take a cool drink from the bucket, when I heard Vat!" "Well, of course I had to run. As I could net get the water, 1 went to the spring-house. mere was a nice pan oi mils on the tab e. I took a drink from this pan. Before I knew it, Mary Jane gave me an awful slap. I ran into the yard and stayed there till I felt hungry. Then I tried to catch a mouse cr rat in the Lain, but none came out. I went into the dining-room to see what I could eet to eat. -No one waa there, so what tculd 1 do but help myself. As I could not se what was on tbe table, I lumped upon it. There stood a plate of meat. Now I like xr.eat, but do not get it often. So I was eatirg finely, when quick as thought I was thrown out of the window. I think the girl treated me very rudely. ion i you iniEK so : Ey this time I felt tired, and as the baty lay in a very soft bed, I thought I would lie üowd beside her. What did the bsrby do then but scream, and her father came to see what was the matter. I saw I had better get out of tbe way. Tie threw hu slipper at me. I heard him say: "Jack, If you don't make that cat stay in the barn 1 11 drown her.'' When I heard that I thought it best to go to the barn and stay there. I don't dare to go near the house for fear of being drowned. row, i asa you, my iriena, u this is not a ) ard world for a cat to live in? .

A farmer's house near BufSngton, Wis., caught fire last week when no water waa at hand to extinguish tbe names.

Starving Slaty Tears An Appetite Cos tin a; Two Cents a Week. Sew York Herald. Mrs. Fhtebe Carman, of rearsall's, has nearly solved the problem that many gentlemen of more leisure than means have been trying to fathom since the beginning of tbe world. And that problem is how to live without eating. The discoverer of a mode of living without food would, it is safe to say, create more or It es of a sensation among the philosophers of the day, as well as among tbe butchers and bakers, and yet Mrs. Carman seems to come pretty near to iL The'un for tuna tepart of it is, however, that she does not know how she does iL She simply does it. rearsall's, in the summer season, is situated not very far from Ixng Baach, within the domain of tbe Long Island railroal. In the winter it is enough to say that rear sall's is situated on Long Island. Nobody will care to dispute it. About a mile and a half (Long Island measurement) from tbe depot at PearsaU's, and nearly within sight of the salt water, stands on a road running picturesquely through a vista of cabbage and turnip fields. a bright pea-green cottage, with chocolate trimmings. It is on slightly rising ground, and if the pedestrian is careful he will not sink In the mud higher than his ankles in crossing the road to reach the gate. Ask any native of that Bection where Mrs. Phu'be Carman lives and he will take vou to the side of the road, examine your face crit ically for the intelligence you appear to lack, and then point to the pea-green cottage with chocolate trimmings. "Miss Carman lives mar." "And "thar" she may be found, sure enough, active in her honsehold du;ies, a hale, hearty housewife; a grandmother who eats a hundred times more sparingly than her youngest grandchild. The stranger may ask almost any one thereabouts and the answer will invariably be that Mrs. Carman is a "remarkably small eater." Stories of her fastings are told in almost every household and there are scores of witnesses to her remarkable method who have known her for many years. Naturally enough the stranger being told that in the pea-green cottasre there lives a woman of mature years who frequently goes days without food of any t2 l , , i . 1 . . jliuu, says oeuwa noi oeiive iu "She eats on the sly, of course," is the reply to the statement. Mra. Carman is a large-framed, fleshy woman, weighing probably 200 pounds. Her arms are Bhapely, and despite her sixty-four years of life and the cares of a large family she still retains much of the eprigbtliness of youth. When she was Erst married she says her husband could span her waist with his two hands. His arm is not long enough now. She is about the average heiebt. Her features are regular, her eyes a dark bro n, and her mouth small. She has had eight chiliren. Five of them are living now, and all married, with children of their own, except her sDn Walter E. Carman, who lives at home with his parents. He is in the oyster business, and has his boats within a mile and a half of nishome. During the twenty seven years of his life he never saw his mother eat anything. I never saw my mother eat a mouthful in my life," said this young man; "'and I have watched her at odd times and between meals to see if she did." "Do you mean that literally?'' he was asked. Yes. I have seen her sit down to the ta ble once in a great while it is when we have company generally that she does tint nut sne aid not eat." "Eut you saw her drink?" "Yes, I have seen her take a swallow of water or tea at times, but. as I said before. I have never ceen her take a mouthful of food in my life, or at least since I have been laree enough to understand." "How do you suppose she exists?" "1 have given up the consideration of that question long ago. I would not believe that a person could live without eating more than sue does if l bad not seen iL I can not ex plain iL I do not attempt iL All I know is mat it is so. Mrs. Carman was ouite willine to tell what cn anew aoout ner own case. And that is not much, looking at it from scientific standpoint, but its practical results to tne oiu gentleman s pocket are enormous. "it is said, Mrs. carman, that you are an exceptionally small eater." "Yes, I suppose I am." Bhe replied auietlv. smoothing down her apron and crossing her nanus in ner lap in goou oia iong island style. "But they say that vou iro two or three davs WlUlOUt IOOU." !lt a " e?, and longer than that, I frequently go a neet without eating." oteatirg at all?" "Nothing at all." "What do you drink?" "I take a swallow of water now acd a train. and sometimes I may take a little tea about a quarter of a cup..' "W ith milk and sugar? ' "No milk. I never drink milk. Some times a little sugar." "But vou do eat occasionally, of course!' "I sometimes take a mouthful or two of bread or cake. I did yesterday at dinner time 12 o clock). I took two large mouth tula of bread. That is all I have had this week, and that has not agreed with roe very wen either." "Were you born on Long Island?' j es, and I have lived here all mr life. My father was David Langdon, of Grassy Fond, and he served the Government in the war of lsl'J. Both my father and mother lived to a rood old as e. but never were verv stout people. I hey were hearty eaters ai v ways." Have you always felt an aversion to food?" "l ea, ever since I can remember. I do not care to eat. I have no craving for food, and when I get hungry one mouthful of food is sufhcienL I never eat meaL except a mouthful of lean mutton two or three times a year perhaps. I never eat oysters, or hsh. or pie, or drink milk or coflte. When I want to eat at all, 1 prefer bread or cake." "Have you ever been ill?" "Yes. I have had palpitation of the heart. and have been treated by physicians for iL Dr. Davidson, of Hempstead, attended me, but be never gave me any reason for my rot wanting to eat.

"Ob, yes; I am strong enough to do the work of my house, and I have a pretty large family to care for.

Ice-Cream Poisoning. Companion. For many years there have been numer ous cases of poisoning from eating ice-cream. both in this country and in Europe. Some of the cases have been single, or confined to members of a family ; others have comprised a large portion of some picnic, or other party. During the last summer there were several prominent instances in New Jersey a large party ; in Charleston, Hi., a party of city; in Michigan over 140. In 1&S3, in Joliet. 111., 200 were thus poisoned at a picnic. In all cases the symptoms have been essentially the same burning, colicky pains, vomiting, purging and great prostration. No Instance. we believe, has had a fatal termination. The symptoms resemble those from arsenic, but no metallic poison has been detected by any cheraieL Tbe attention of medical experts has been. of course, drawn to the matter. Professor 1'rtley, chemist of the Brooklyn Board of Health, has suegested that the poison may be due to tbe use of a poor grade of gelatine and its subsequent rapid decomposition. Other distinguished experts admit that this may ie the cause. . Dr. Morrow, of New Y'ork, is inclined to regard It as due to the vanilla used in flavor ing iL He says that vanilla has long been recognized in Europe as a prolific source of ice cream poisoning, and quotes authorities to sustain this view oi the matter. In the Michigan case, in which 140 were poiboned, some of the cream was sent for anal bis to Professor augban, of the Mich igan State University. The vanilla, also. which remained in the bottle, waa sent to r.im. Now, the quantity of vanilla in the ice cream eaten by any one person would be very minute; but Trofessor Yaughan and his associate swallowed each thirty drops of tbe vanilla extract with no harm; after wnicn the latter too two teaspoon! uls more with no bad result. This is sufficient to prove that, in this casa, the vanilla was not the source of the poison. Nor did the cream contain any gelatine, or any mineral poison. He was satisfied that the poison was iden tical wifh one be had previous! p detected in bad cheese, and to which he had given the name cf tyrotoxicon. It is a living germ tbat develops in milk and kindred sub stances from unsanitary surroundings. This germ may be the Bourse of the "ptomains," or virulent poisons which are now known to be generated in the early stage of animal decomposition. Since the occurrence it has been ascertained that the ice-cream was frozen in a building. the hygienic condition of which was exceed ingly bad. The Medical Record, referring to Trofessor augban's discovery, says: "It may account for much or the intestinal disturbances in children daring the warm weather, notably cholera Infantum and kindred conditions.'
