I)*«r Little llnnils.
Dear little hands, I love them sol
And now they are lyin« under the snow -
Under the snow, so cold and white,
1 cannot see them or touch them to-night.
They are quiet and still at last, ah mo!
How busy and restless they used to be]
Butnowthey can never reach up through the
snow;
Dear little hands, I loved them so!
Dear little hands, I miss them sol
All through the day, wherever I go-
All through the night how lonely it scorns,
for no little hands wake me outof my dreams
I miss them all through the weary hours, '
1 miss them as others miss the sunshine and
tlowers;
Day time or night time, wherever I go,
Dear little hands, I miss them so!
Dear little hands, they have gone from me now
Never again will they rest on mv brow - ’
Never again Bmooth my sorrowful face
Never clasp me in a childish embrace.
And now my forehead grows wrinkled with care
Thinking of little hands, once resting there-
But I know in a happier, lieavenlier clime, ’
Dear little hands, I will clasp you sometime.
Dear little hands, whon the Master shall call
I’Ll welcome the summons that comes to us all—
When ray feet touch the waters so dark and so
cold,
And I catch my drat glimpse of the City of Ctold
If 1 keep my eye fixed on the heavenly gate
Over the tide where the white-robed ones wait
Shall I know you, 1 wonder, among the bright
bands,
Will you beckon me over, oh! dear little
hands?

down in the earth s interior.
1'rnf. Van Bonthpysen Nays It’s Very Warm, and
Would Make a Hottentot Perspire,
Jtew York Mail and Express.
“Talkingabout earthquakes,” said Prof.
Van Benthuysen the other afternoon to a
reporter, ‘’calls to mind a question which,
standing alone, is of startling significance
to the people of this continent. It is one
t hat has been under discussion for ninny
years, but I .believe that the problem was
solved when the shock occurred |iu 1884.
The particular place where the earthquake
originated affords little room for specula
tion. The main fact proved by that shock
was directly to the point that 'the interior
of the earth is in a highly heated state.
“There are no facts to disprove of this
-assumption but many to support it. If it
is not in a fluid condition so largely as to
interfere with its rigidity which is ac
counted equal to a bull of steel, this is
said to be because ol' the great weight
with which the exterior presses toward
the centre. Notwithstanding the facts
already mentioned, a cooling process is
steadily going on. Geologists claim that
it has required twentv-iive millions of
years to acquire its present external form
of solidity, and that during this period the
mountains were formed and t he hollows
of the seas were made, by a sort of wrink
ling of the surface as the globe of liquid
fire and heated gases contracted to its
present shape. According to this idea the
solid crust of the earth extends down from
ten to forty miles, there being beneath
that a greater or less thickness of plastic
material, from melted rocks, etc., under
high pressure, while the crust of the
earth is all the time in a high state of ten
sion from the gradual cooling of the in
terior, causing cavities and allowing the
superincumbent earth to crowd down
closer to its heated core.”
Another theory propounded by the
professor, and one which admits of very
little criticism, is to the effect that the ac
cess of water, also by percolation from the
earth’s surface to these subterean ovens, it
is thought, may in some cases cause ex
plosions, dislocating vast quantities of
material, and perhaps by opening com
munication with the still hotter portion
yet lower down, be the cause of some of j
the most destructive volcanoes. These ex- j
planations, while being to a small extent
hypothetical, accord with all that is known
by acknowledged authorities. Another
significant point is that they afford the
best theory yet advanced to account for
the earthquake which is now agitating
the minds of people all over the globe.
The geologist,waxing warm to his subject,
insisted that we have hardly made a pin
scratch upon the crust of the earth. The
further we go down the warmer it is. An
illustration of this is supplied in the iact
that the artesian wells supplying the city
of Paris from a depth of nearly 1800 feet
yield water of 82 3 Fah., and the lower level
of the Comstock mines have had an al
most uniform temperature of 130° Fah. It
is estimated that the heat increases 1 deg.
for every fifty feet, and this would give a
temperature to melt the hardest rocks in
less than ten miles. On this theory the
present volcanic and earthquake regions
of the globe are located along the axis of
those supposed wrinkles or corrugations
from the contraction of the crust thought
to be at present in the state of greatest
tension. The most marked of these are
down on the east coast of Asia, including
the Japan and Philliphlne islands, and
extending to Java, where the great earth
quake of 1883 occurred. Another also ex
tends down the Pacific coast of North and
South America, the manifestations of
which have been very light in the north
ern part since the commencement of his
toric times, but of whose presence in
South America we have had many striking
proofs.
QUEEN VICTORIA S LACE.
K'mrishnexN of Battenlrarx—Servants of the
Roysl Family—Scotchmen's Lens.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s large and j
magnificent collection of iaee, which has
been the envy of every one of her daugh
ters, from the apple-cheeked “Pussy”
down to Princess Beatrice, is to be enrich
ed by the addition of a goodly quantity of ]
Irish point, which the sovereign has or- I
dered with the idea not only of gratifying .
a weakness common to all women, but
of encouraging native industry. Such of j
her collection of lace as is white, of course
her majesty never uses personally; but j
from time to time she lends flounces or
lengths to Princess Beatrice, or perhaps to j
one of her grandchildren, who may be :
about to appear at some specially dressy’
function. A prompt tied faithful return of j
the valuable fairy fabric thus lent some- |
times results in the loan being made a i
gift. In this way Princess Beatrice lias
acquired a collection of lace to make the I
mouth water, but the queen still has a
shopful of all makes conceivable, to which
she is never tired of adding.
To jewelry ber majesty is leas attached j
than to old lace and to old china, and .
while she is always prepared to pay any .
price for a coveted piece of either ol the i
latter luxuries, she has been known to ;
hkggle long and loudly over the purchase
of some comparatively Inexpensive speci
men of the goldsmith’s art. Still her col- |
lection of jewelry is very line, as those oi
us who have been privileged to inspect
can testify; but like the stock of lace, it
has been depleted by the raids made upon
it by successive daughters and grand- j
daughters. Unlike the same stock of lace
however, it has not been replenished.
Such jewelry as her niujesty' now buys is
almost solely for presents; it is rare,indeed,
for her to ‘purchase an ornament for her
own use.
Advice to Mothebs.—Mbs. Winslow’s
Soothing Sybup should alway’s be used i
When children are cutting teeth. It re- i
ueves the little sufftsrer at once; it produces j
natural, quiet sleep by relieving the chJtd
from pain, and the little cherub awakes as j
bright as a button.” It is very pleasant
to taste. It soothes the child, softens the i
gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels and is the best kin n
remedy for diarrhota, whether arising ,
from teething or other causes. Twenty- j

It is said that water cress destroys the

The use of morphia by physicians to

Many are said to take the injections for

worse than drinking, which is the natural
consequence.

The Verdict L'linnimon*.
W. D. Suit, druggist, Bippus, Ind., testi
fies: “lean recommend Electric Bitters os
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case. One man
took six bottles, and was cured of rheuma
tism of 10 years’ standing.” Abraham
Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
“The best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years' experience, is
Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys or
blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Bran-
