From tho New York Press, When Robert Burns died the follow ing obituary appeared in tho Edin burgh Advertiser of July 20, 1730: "On tho 21st Inst., died at Dumfries, after nn lingering illness, tho celebrated Robert Burns. His poetical composi tions, distinguished equally by the forco of native humor, by tho warmth nnd tho tenderness of passion, nnd by tho glowing touches of a descriptive pencil, will remain a lasting monument of tho vigor nnd versatility of a mind guided only by the lights of nature and by the inspiration of genius. The public to whoso amusement he nan eo largely contributed, will learn with regret that his extraordinary endow ments were accompanied with fatnll I ties which rendered them useless to DANGER IN SODA, .Serious Results Sometimes follow Its Excessive Use.. Common soda Is nil right In Its place nnd Indispensable In tho kitchen nnd for cooking and washing purposes, but It was never Intended for a medicine, and people who use It as such will some dny regret It. We refer to the common uso of poda to relievo heartburn or sour stomnch, a habit which thousands of people prac tice almost dally, and one which Is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worso and worse. Tho soda nets as a mechanical irri tant to the walls of tho stomach nnd bowels and cases arc on record where it accumulates In tho Intestines, caus ing death by Inflammation or periton itis. Dr. Harlaudson recommends as the safest nnd surest cure for sour stom ach (acid dyspepsia) nn cxcellant prep aration sold by druggists under tho name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Those tablets are large 20 grain loz enges, very pleasant to tasto and con tain tho natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest tho food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison tho blood and nervous Bystcm. Dr. Wuorth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they creato a healthy np potlte, Increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but Intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will bo found reliable in any stom ach trouble except cancer of the stom nch. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at 50 cts. per package. A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mailed free by addressing the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich. himself nnd his family. Tho last months of his short life were spent In sickness and Indigence, and his .widow, with five Infant children, and In the hourly expectation of a sixth, Is now left without any resource but what she may hope from the regard duo to the memory of her husband. "Tho public are respectfully informed that contributions for the wife and family of tho lato Robert Burns (who are left In circumstances of extreme distress) will be received at the houses of Sir William Forbes & Co., of Messr.i Mansfield, Rnmsey & Co., the shops or the Edinburgh booksellers. It is pro posed to publish some time henco a posthumous volume of the poetical re mains of Robert Burns for tho bene fit of the author's family; his friends and acquaintances are requested to transmit such poems nnd letters as may happen to bo in their possession to Alexander Cunningham, Writer, George street, Edinburgh; or to John Syme, esq., Ryeland, Dumfries. It is hoped that, In tho meantime, none of his original productions will be comunlcated to tho public through tho channel of newspapers or magazines, so as to Injure tho sale of tho Intend ed publication." IIEK HUSIJAM) A MODEL. And That Ho Wns So Caused nn Awkward Question. From tho Chicago Tribune. It was at a woman's luncheon, and they had been exchanging opinions In regard to tiro husband question, both as a whole and with particulars. By tho time Ice cream was served the discus sion had grown quite heated, and the hostess was beginning to look anxious. At the top of the table the woman In the chiffon vest and her companion in tlv3 fur-trimmed gown were at daggers drawn. "Well, I don't care what any one pays, my husband Is as good as they make them," said the woman in tho chiffon dress excitedly. "He always rocks mo to sleep when I have a sick headache, and he gets breakfast when the cook Is away, and ho always gets up In the night if tho baby cries!" Sho glared at the woman in the fur-trimmed gown triumphantly, and sho In turn glared back and took rrp the para ble of speech. "Will, my husband," she remarked, with a strong accent upon the possess ive case, "never does any of those things; I should be sorry to see hhn do any of them. I detest a man who steps over into his wife's province. But he always looks after tho furnace, nnd I never have to worry about the coal bill." The woman In tho chiffon vest smiled dlsagreeably.and the hostess was about to Interpose when the pretty woman nt the foot of tho table spoke up. "My husband does all the thing you have mentioned," sh'J said, sweetly, "and a lot more. When wo have no girl ho washes the dishes nnd sweeps, and I'w never had to get dinner once Blnce we've been married. I always knew ho was going to be so lovely that way, because he said so little about it. I never had much faith in tho rmn that talked so much. When we were first married we talked about it, nnd he spoke beautifully. 'I don't say I'll always do It, Jennie,' ho bald, tho first time I was without a girl; 'but I'll always li'elp.' And he's tVeri belter than his werd right along. Last night he even made the porridge, so- It would bo ready for breakfast this morning, and every morning1 he brings mo a. cup of coffco before I get up." ) With tho smllo of a conscious con queror Bho toyed with her menu enrd and smiled sweetly at tho angry wo man at tho other end of tho table. Th'ey were speechless, but tho woman in tho gold-rlmmed glasses, who sat In tho middle, gave her a keen look nnd smiled, too. "Something has got to bo dono for tho protection of us poor spinsters," she said, merrily, "and If anyone elso tells a husbands story I shall retaliate with a tale regarding a wonderful cat which I possess. But, first, before wo quit the subject, let mc usk a question. How long," turning to tho pretty wo man, "have you been married?" Tho pretty woman blushed vividly. "Nearly two weeks," sho stammered out timidly, and tho other women laughsd in tho unfeeling manner they so often affect. I'ciniciirc Liver Pills.

IT TAUdHT MM A GOOD LESSON Predicament of a Night Operator nt a Lonely ltiillrond Stnlion Who ilnd llccn Evading tho Rules nnd Was Instructed to Hold n Certain Train. A Long Hour of Suspense. Telegraph operators aro usually rem iniscent fellows.and tho veterans among them delight in telling their experien ces. A New York Sun reporter chanced to meet recently a veteran "key twist er" who was for several years in tho employ of a, railroad running through Mnlno and New Hampshire anu up to tho White mountains. Th'ls operator sometimes found himself In a pretty tiaht box. and his account of ono ex pel ienco Illustrates tho close shaves that railroad telegraphers have now and then. "Station II, where I worked," ho said, "is a night staUon on a single-track railroad in New Hampshire. G, tho nearest night telegraph station north of it, was eight miles away, and N, the nearest one south, was twelve. My duty In summer was solely that of oper ator; In winter I also looked after tho fires In tho waiting rooms. There- wns seldom much operating to do at right, and it was always easy to keep awuko until 1 o'clock, when I usually nte lunch. Even at that hour tho tlmo didn't pns3 very slowly in summer, but on cold and stormy nights In winter, when I had to stay constantly Indoors, the greatest effort wns needed to keep from falling asleep. After 3 o'clock all the trains that passed were freights, and there were half a dozen south bound and ns many more north bound In the course of the night. Tt was p.irt of my duty to no tho tlmo that each cf the trains passo I my station and re ptit It at once to headquarter1), nt A the same ruile apr i ,n;r to nil the opera tor s- on tho line. That was ono "f tho vir-toms which runic It dansornas for nn operator to :U. asleep, If only for five minute-''. AnotUsr thhu that an noyed him mil oi'U-n mads hlm swear mi the roll call. This consisted i:i tho troir despatcher ;. A otl'.co 'fifty inll's south of II) call.n? ca:h olllco on the hi,1) every li'al! ho.ir, beginning with U. one nearest lis own. The Mntitn that failed to answer a roll fall had a hlark mark place 1 nijalust it at A. with a lecord of the tlniu when the call was given. At first Mic ro'.1 call made nil tho bo"s look sha.-p and toi the line, but tliej eoon found : way to '.heat It. CHEATING ?": ROLL CALL. "The main wire running through II WS3 considerably more th'an a hundred miles long; and on a wire of that length it is qulto Impossible for an operator, nt its terminus to tell by the sound which of two or more offices not more than twenty-five miles apart Is doing the telegraphing unless the sending op erator signs his station call. Knowing this, several of the 'owls' on tho line arranged to take turn's with each other in answering tho roll. For example, tho operator at G would answer my calls between the houri of 1 and 3, and I would attend tojils from 3 to 5. What a cracking good way this was to bat He tho train dispatcher, wo thought, and tho exchange of duty between us was kept up for a long time; In fact, almost too long, so far as my own case was concerned. I rater to an Incident that took place during the winter of '83, which for a few hours nearly froze tho marrow in my bones. It happened like this: "Through freight No. 2il,north bound, was due at my station at 1.35, and was scheduled to meet south-bound freight No. 281 at P, fifteen miles further up the road. No. 2)1 was scarcely ever be hind time, and the two trains usually met at P without requiring telegraphic orders. Tho night in question was very cold and stormy; fully three feet of snow had fallen and It was still coming down very fast, while a high wind was piling It in big drifts across tho track. On a nlgh't like that the incessant hum ming of the wires outside the station Is enough, of itself, to put a sentinel to sleep, and that, coupled with tho hour, 1.13, and an olllco temperature of SO degrees, was more than my weary frame could resist. I fell asleep, know ing of course, that G would according to our arrangements, look after my roll calls. After what seemed to mo about Ilko twenty minutes, but what was really more than two hours, I was awakened by the sharp clicking of the telegraph instrument near my head. AN IMPORTANT ORDER. " 'Qk 12' wns being made with great rapidity, the call for my office pro ceeding it. I knew it was tho train despatcher, the abbreviation meaning Quick! wo want you to hold a train! "I answered the call, and the com mand came back quick nnd sharp; " 'Hold No. 241 for orders.' " 'O. K.,' said I, nnd immediately hung the proper signal, a red lantern, outside the door, "Then I camo to my senses and looked at my watch. "Twenty-five minutes past 3! And I had heard no train in almost three hours. Had No. 2U got past? I won dered. I found that it had left N at 12.40, and the run from N toll usually took about fifty minutes. I knew the storm would probably delay tho train somewhat, but two whole hours? It wasn't likely. Then I heard No. 28 1 reported from P, and knew she had received orders to meet No. 241 some where between P and II, "What if No, 211 had got by me and was trying to reach P for the down freight! In that case the two trains wero bound to crash together in tho storm; there was no help for it. My excitement was Increased by tho re pented calls of tho train despatcher to ask If No, 241 was In sight. lest my hopes were In vain. "Threo thirty-five ,and no train. I went out on the platform and listened. Not a sound could bo heard aboo that of the wind, and an engine's headlight wouldn't havo been visible ten rods away. "I went back, 'grounded' ono of the wires, so ns to cut out A office, and called G, hoping to find whether No. 211 hud reached there. No answer. Then I remembered that from a to G was G'a tlmo to 'bunk .off,' and knew It waa useless trying to get him. "Ten minutes mor. nnd the freight had not arrived, L A D B E S do you mow DR.

ANXIOUS MOMENTS. "Well, 4 o'clock came, and my cour ngo was giving way. I could see how two hours or bo might bo needed for n freight to go twclvo miles on such a night, 'but threo hours and over. So slow a run hod never been known on tho road. "What was to bo done? To admit my uncertainty meant tho loss of my Job, and to brave it out any longer seemed almost criminal. In my despair I finally decided to tell tho train de spatcher the plain truth, that I had been asleep nt my post, and that No. 241 probably went by more than an hour ngo. Tho fact would bo known In a few hours anyway, I argued, nnd I would then ibo arrested for causing death, convicted of criminal negligence nnd sent to prison. "it was then 4.13. I drew a long bret.th nnd went over to tho telegraph desk. Headquarters was again calling to ask if the train had arrived, and I broko in abruptly: " 'You may as well know that' but the sentence was never finished. I heard a faint putting and grating, and looking out saw the engine of the be lated train opposed my olllco window. My heart leaped up about a foot, and taking a firm grasp on the key of my instrument T announced: "'No. 241 h-e-r-o!' "Deep snow, a terrific wind, and the blowing out of a cylinder head on tho engine had caused tho delay. "Maybo all's well that ends well, but that cxperlenco put an end, then and there, to my practice of sleeping while on duty." Nothing Unusual.
