From going in to look at him. with his bands folded upon his breast, after the. plaintive manner of the dead, we sat down in the one other room of the cabin and began to talk of similar scenes and similar experiences. For my own part I felt bad. for I had set the blast which knocked poor Jack out, and, though I was not to blame any more than a babe, I wished that some other hand than mini had been the in noceut instrument of his undoing. There were Whistling Bill, Harry Handsome, Maj. Tokay, and myself. Each man told his pathetic story of some sad happening in the mines. "Gentlemen,” said the major, “the dead man in there was ray friend. We all saw him pass over the"river and we all took his last message to his old mother back in the states. The man of ns who gets there first delivers it. Bnt, talking »f sad deaths. I hope I do not profane Jack's dumb clay when I assert that the saddest death I ever witnessed was that of a baboon.” "A baboon!” exclaimed everybody together. ‘ Yes," answered the major, “an African baboon.” Maj. Tekay was the oldest man amongus. lie was an Englishman of the right sort. He had been an officer in the British army. When our war broke out in 1881 be came across the water, joined a New_ York regiment, and fought his way tip from the ranks to the grade and title by which we knew him. He had been all over the world several times and was a gen erous aud tenderhearted man. He was I? as ‘my Englishman—and all English blood is bravo. oan^ Simpson aud I went to Zanzi ar iu 69.

Ho wound his little arms around my neck tight and laid his hairy head against iny cheek. For all 1 could do I couldn’t keep the tears back, so I said: •• -This is all the mate I hare. I shall call him Sam. after my dead friend, who.is lying under a spreading pal m, 100 miles inland among the nig* “The man laughed, as if I were de grading poor Sam by naming a baboon after him. But I had ne such thought. I loved Sara, aud the way this creature had come to me at his very grave, as if his spirit was in its body and was try ing to speak, made me think I was right. I think so yet, after a lapse of more than twenty years. “As I neared, England Sam, the ba boon, clung to me closer still. A good many people on shipboard would nave liked to pet him, but he wouldn’t have it. He would come to nobody but me; and as the northern breezes began to strike him he clung closer than ever, and shivered with the cold. I showed him to Tillio Simpson in her English home and told her all. But she didn’t like the idea of my calling the baboo* by her brother’s name. That made no difference to me, for his memory was as closely conuected with my little companion as his own whitey-browa fuzz. ••One day,” the major's voice dropped a little, “1 came home to my lodgings in the London suburbs, and Sam lay in his little box. He did not Jump up into my arms and lay his head against my face, as was his habit whenever he saw me. His eyes were bloodshot and he was hot all over. He was ill. The first thing I thought of was that he would soon be with poor Simpson in the other world. I never saw the treasure that I would not have given as free as water to have saved the life of that in nocent and affectionate creature, ba boon as he was. No father ever hoped against hope when he saw his baby slowly approaching the boundaries ol another world more than I did then. Sam Simpson's spirit seemed to say *1 am going to leave you, Toke’—the name he always called me by. I prayed over that dumb brute as I prayed at poor Sam’s grave. ••The cold winds and fogs of Lon don were too much for my baboon. It there was ever a case of pneumonia he had it. Hu would press bis little hands against his breast and sides and look at me ns if to say ‘Such a pain here.’ The fourth day. as I was kueeling by his box, he roused himself from the stupor in which be had lain for a day and a half, looked up at me, and tried to smile. As God is my witness, he tried to smile. Then he moved and drew his little form toward me. I did not stir. Then, if ever a baboon kissed a man’s hand, be kissed mine. Then he lay over on bis side and closed his eyes, looking upon my face to the last. He was dead. “Gentlemen, that poor baboon died like a human being. I have seen many a one go over, bdfore and since, on the battle field, iu tbe hospital, in tho jun gles ef Africa—where not? There was no difference. Ho died as a tired child goes to sleep, kissing the white hand of its mamma. The tears rained down my face. • I felt”—here there was a click in the major's voice—“as il I had lost a child of my own. You may smile if you like, but I wept like a woman." But nobody smiled, or thought of it. “I don't blame you, myself, major,” said Whistling Bill, soppiug out bis eyes with a towel. “Nor I,” added Harry Handsome and I together. “Yes,” said the major, “that poor dumb brute of a baboon died like ■ human being.”—Chicago Times. Occupation In Heaven. A little Vermont friend, aged 4, stood by the window as the family physician drove by with a smile and a bow for his little favorite. A moment later she turned from the window with a sigh and said: “Mamma, isn’t it too bad that Dr. Blank can't go to heaven?” “Why, Jessie!” said mamma in sur prise.” “What makes you think he can’t go to heaven?" “Why, of course he won’t go,” said Jessie. “There’s nobody sick there, and they won’t need any doctors." Little Jessie’s original idoa was told to the clergyman, who called a day or two later,‘who said that ho should consider that “a knock-down argu ment" against the theory that we aro to continue our present occupation in the future life. A popular physician, on hearing the above, said that he did not see why the doctors had not as good a chance as the ministers, for surely there would be no souls to save in the hotter land.—Rochester Free Frees. Smoke Blossoms. ‘•Did you ever see a smoke blossom?” asked an old smokec. “Well, the way I to make them is this: Blow a ring in i a still atmosphere and then watch it. | The smoko making the ring revolves I toward the center as you look toward I it. While it is floating away a part Of ! the ring shooLs slowly away from the | rest, forming a loop. When the two I sides of this loop come almost together : the loop seems to burst at its apes and ; a lily-shaped blossom appears there. • Sometimes this blossom wilt break up iulo smaller loops and they will pro duce smaller smoke blossoms, as did the larger one. I can’t account for it, hot a smoke ring invariably hears these queer blossoms.” — A'tw York Sun. _•_ Anil He Deserved It. Ho had been talking with St. Peter and was sent down to the other gate, I where he was warmly welcomed. | "Why nre you here?” asked the fallen angel who stood guard. "I don’t know,” he replied. “I never did any wrong. I never said an unkind word about a person in my life." Then the angel smiled. “That’s all right,” he said; "come in. You will find the eage for the hypocrites at the end of the lower corridor next to the furnace.”—N. Y. Recorder^ FOOD ADULTERATIONS. Thirty-Two Far Gant af Common Artlelaa Impure. In a list of twenty of the most com mon articles of food in ntt in every family the state board of health finds that there Is 32 per cent of adulteration, lays the Boston Herald. This exhibit would bo most alarming If the list included all that was used iu the household economy for the supply of the tabijto for adults and children. Fortunately, however, there are cer tain staple products, such as sugar, flour, and-other cereal produots, which are rarely adulterated, and therefore need little Inspection. The May report of the board, which has just been issued, shows an examin ation of 434 specimens, gathered at random, and subjected to analytical examination. Of these, 295 were found to be of good quality, while 139 were adulterated, varying from the legal standard. The most alarming exhibit reported from the examinations was in tho mat ter of canned goods, where only one seveuth of all the specimens were fouud to be of such quality as to warrant the seal of approval. Milk is a fbod for children and inva lids particularly, as well as a delightful article of consumption for adults. More coses 'charging violation of the law in regard to the adulteration of milk ore brought before the courts than in regard to any other article of food. This is because its purity is so important in every household of the rich and poor. Convictious on charge of adulteration are almost as frequent as the complaints. Because of tho fre quency of complaints and convictions the public has seemed to gather the idea that milk is the only important article adulterated. But the record shows that only one-seventh of the samples examined are below the stand ard. This is bad enough, It is far worse than the exhibit on canned goods, because everybody uses milk, and only the very few use canned goods on thoir tables. Besides, infants and children use milk, while, in a gen eral sense, only adults use canned fruits, meats, and fish. It may surprise somo to know that eight out of eleven snmples of coffee were found to be reasonably pure, and that in a majority of the samples tested spices, cream of tartar, molasses aud drugs were found to be all right. Cheese, maple-sugar, lea, and con fectionery obtained a clean record, no adulteration being found. Twenty-three complaints were en tered in tho courts during the month for violation of the laws relative to the inspection of food and drugs. Convic tions were obtained in all cases but two, and in these the parties had left the state. Deadly Ammonia Fumes. Tile Lancaster (Ohio) Republican gives the details of a terrible explo sion of an ammonia tnnk in a local brewery. Four persons were over come by the ammonia fumes and were restored with great dilliculty. One of them was a 3-year-old child playing some distance away. As soon ns the aramonin fumes struck it, it dropped as though hit by a bullet. A woman who ran to its assistance was also overcome and fell Benseless. The engineor was blown a distance of twenty feet, aud, although not seri ously injured, was prostrated so by the poisonous fumes that he did not recover for several days. Still an other man, a distance away, was ren dered insensible. The use of ammonia in various manu factures has greatly increased of late, and accidents are of frequent occur rence, owing to ignorance of its quali ties. There is dauger not only from such accidents as that at Lancaster, but the effects of its daily absorption iuto the system are very injurious. Men who work in its manufacture suffer from this slow ammonia poison ing. Its effect is lirst noticed in their complexions, which assume an un healthy. blotched appearance. In this connection Professor Blyth, Health Officer of the Marylebone dis trict in London, cites the cases of men who work in guano factories where ammonia is given off freely. There is noticed among them a peculiar dis coloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. A daily absorption of am monia, in very minute quantities, will cause the complexion to lose some thing of its natural freshness. Pro fessor Clifford Mitchell in his chemistry says ammonia poisoning may be so prolonged that death will notoccurfor several mouths. The length of time he gives for an immediately fatal dose to kill is four minutes. The use of ammonia in the manu factures and its abuse as a food adul terant especially in baking powders is so rapidly increasing that its danger ous qualities ought to be more gener ally known. The Rich and the Poor. Two tramps were sitting on the dock in the shade with their feet hanging over and one was reading from the newspaper in which their frugal meal had been wrapped. "Listen at this, old man,” said the reader. "It save here that John Rockefeller, the oil king, eould give every man. woman ami child in the country $2 apiece, and still he would have a million left.” •■Yes," was tins dissatisfied rejoinder, “and if you was to go to John and agree to discount the $2 coinin’ to you. so as to leave him $1.7,5 out of it, he’d say you was a-talkin’ through your hat, and you'd be dum lucky if you got as much as a nickle." "I guess you’re right, pard,” sadly assented the reader, "and it’s that sort of thing that shuts the rich man out of the kingdom of heaven and slides us poor cusses iu Let us pray,” and they ndjourued up an alloy with their tomato can and preyed on a pile of beer kegs.—Detroit Free Dress.
