LIKE A HUMAN BEING.
Poor Jack Somester bad been dead
idav. 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

but not Sam, a man I knew said to
me: H
" katfc you done with your
mate?’ 'p
“The baboon was afraid of this man.
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

newspaper in which their frugal meal
had been wrapped. "Listen at this,
old man,” said the reader. "It save

king, eould give every man. woman

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
