Ah, the time cometh When reparation,All to late. Shall avail us n o m ore;

’Tis the day o f the last separation That shall close opportunity's door.

A ll too late then onr treasures o f kindness, And onr lov e we shall lavish in rain ;

F or w e bring them, alas I in our blindness,To the heart that n o longer feels pain.

W e are dumb "noath the weight o f our sorrows; We are mute o 'er the scene that is willed;

For we prom ised so many bright morrows Full o f tenderness never fulfilled;

And the flay never closed without hearing Sacred vows we determined to k eep ;

Yet each dawn found a new cloud appearing,. And our vows were lorgotten in sleep.

So we live as though nothing could sever The lives that to-day ave entwined;

In the future we’re saintly lorever—Good intentions are easy to find.

For to-morrow we promise repentance For the sins that have soiled us to-day;

But a morrow will com e when the sentence , All our vows can no longer delay.

Although ties of affection unite us,And our joys and ou r griefs are alike ;

And those faces and voices delight us,We may wound, by glances that strike.

So our hearts are forover postponing The dear labor o f love that We ow e;

And the head and the heart are condoning A ll the faults which from either may flow.

Shall wo wait till tire light has departed From tho eyes that beam on us today.

T ill our tears o f l-emorso shall have started, Ere wo throw all our love in their way?

Till the faces where smiles are now playing Can no longer our promises wait;

Till the lips that we loved are not saying,“ I forgive, I forgive 5” ’Tis too la te !

C H A N G IN G - H E R N A M E .

“Oh, I ’ve no objection to change my name,’’ said Phebe Warland. She spoke in a tone no louder than her usual wont, but it so happened that the piano, yio- lin and cornet engaged by Mrs* Dupre for her little informal dance had just finished the waltz numbers with a final crash, and during the unnatural silence that followed, Phebe’s voice sounded clear and distinct, Everybody looked in her direction; she looked confused and turned red.

“Most young ladies haven’t,” said Captain Casserly, mischievously*

“It depends entirely on Who asks you, eh, Phebe?” laughed Mildred Payne, not without a spice of malice in her voice.

Ulric Perry looked at her with a cold, disapproving glance. Of all things be valued delicacy and refinement in a woman, and up to this time he had firmly believed Phebe Warland to be a pure sweet lily of the valley among women. And now this bold and start­ling declaration savored of the fast young lady type which he particularly disliked.

As for Phebe herself, she sat silent, the rosy blushes suffusing her fair fore­head to the very roots of her hair.

“Pm of the same opinion myself, Phebe” called out Pairy Falkland,who was the most uncompromising romp in town. “ Only I haven’t had the cour­age to declare it before folks.”

“Here’S the Lancers,” said Casserly. “Miss Falkland, will you honor me? Always with the understanding that Pm not prepared to ask you to change your name.”

There was a general laugh, and when Ulric Perry looked around for Miss Warland her place was vacant.

“It is very strange,” said he. “I had written my name down on her card for this Lancers. iTow I cannot find her.”

“It’s always the way with these prim prudes,” said his sister, Mrs. Lovejoy, with a toss of her head. “There’s more than one side to them, I dare say she’s flirting with that young Cuban officer out iu the hall ”

dlric Perry was silent. Half an hour ago be would have staked his existence on Phebe Warland’s being right in everything. Sow, all Was chanced on account of that unfortunate sptech ot hers.

Phebe was very silent when she came home from the Dupre party. Cilia, her sister, was in unusual spirits.

“I say, Phebe,” she cried, as she brushed out her masses of auburn curls, “ what a sensation you made!”

Phebe made no answer.“ But it was a ridiculous speech,

wasn’t it?”Pbebe bit her lip.“You might, at least, have spoken up

to defend me, Cilia,”Cilia shrugged her shoulders.“ What could I say ? That you were

steadfastly determined to make a fool of yourself? Thank you, I don’t mean to be the first to declare that fact to the public.”

“ Oh, Cilia ! after the dreadful lan­guage that butcher used to mamma yesterday.”

“Tradespeople always make them­selves disagreeable.” -

“And that poor dressmaker crying so over last summer’s unpaid bill!”

“A ll put on,” complacently mur­mured Cilia, the brush still passing in and out among the gleaming masses of her rich hair.

“We can’t live on so, Cilia.”“Other people do,” retorted the elder

sister. “And,after all, it isn’t our fault; we can’t pay people if we haye no money. And it will all come right when we are once married and set­tled.”

“Fraud and treachery never come right”.

Cilia Warland flung down her brush with an impatient exclamation.

“You ought to be ashamed to use such cruel language to me, Phebe!” she cried. “Nobody would believe that you were a gentleman’s daughter, to hear you talk! I j ust wish that Ulric Perry could have the benefit of it ! But there’s one thing—what you say or don’t say won’t make much difference to Ulric Perry after this.”

“No, 1 know that it won’t” Phebe list­lessly answered.

“You saw that glance then ?”“ Y es, I saw it.”Ana Phebe went to bed, and cried

herself noiselessly to sleep., “It is very strange/’ said Mrs* Love- joy to her brother,Ulric Perry, several weeks afterward, “but one never sees that youngest Miss Warland in society anymore.”

"Perhaps she is out of town.”“H o.for.1 met heron Wildmanstreet

after dark last night. Have you called there lately?”

“No.”Mrs. Lovejoy looked keenly at her

brother. Ulric’s face was as impas­sive as that of the Egyptian sphinx.'

“Cilia Warland is extremely pretty,” said she, tentatively.

“So are butterflies and .fireworks and. will-o’-the-wisps.” .

“I never can understand you, Ulric” "That isn’t at all strange, Kate. I

can’t always understand myself.”But whenever he heard Phebe War-

land’s name mentioned after, this, Mfi Perry had a strange .sensation as i£ people .were talking .about somebody dead and .buried. , - . .

Just about that .tim e,the lace win­dow draperies in the Perry mansion needed renewing, and when M rs. L o re- joy heard that-her brother, was going to Philadelphia, she declared her in-

: tention of accompanying him . .. ‘ -And you’ll go with metoBeauelere’s,” said she 'coaxingly, “and! give me the

Valley Cashmere shawl you’ve prom­ised me so long. Do, Ulric, there’s a darling 1”. What could Ulric do but yield?

The shawl department at Beauclere’s was crowded, aDd the smiling floor­walker called one of the attendants from an adjoining room to act as lay- figure for the advantageous display of the thousand-dollar shawl on which Mrs. Loveloy had fixed her fancy.

“Miss Denton,” he called, “be so good as to step this way, There,” flinging the shawl in sumptuous folds over her shoulders, “you can scarcely fail to see the effect now” «

Mrs. Lovejoy gave a little start. “ Ulric,” she Softly -whispered, “it is

Phebe Warland.”But he had turned away and was ap-

parantly occupied in scrutinizing a rare old piece of German tapestry dis­played in the window,

Mrs. Lovejoy put up her eyeglasses and feigned to examine the India shawl.

Phebe turned w hite and red by turns. “How do you do, Mrs. Lovejoy,” said

she, breaking the embarrassing silence at last.

“I thought that it was you,” stam­mered the customer. “But why did they call you Miss Denton?”

“ Actresses always assume stage names,” said Phebe, coldly smiling, “It is their privilege* I am an actress—on life's stage. Denton is my middle name, and I have a Tight to do it.”

“Yes, but—but—”“I understand. It seems strange' to

you. You cannot comprehend ray mo­tive. Well, I do not blame you. We are poor. The Warland name and pedigree are not of any use to live upon, so 1 have decided to break loose from old traditions and earn my own living, beside paying a few troublesome in­debtednesses. My mother and sister did not .approve ot my plan, therefore, to satisfy their scruples, I changed my name.”

•'Changed your name ?” Ulric Perry bad come forward now and was stand­ing with his dark, intent eyes fixed on the girl’s countenance. “Was that what you meant, Miss Warland, that evening—”

“At Mrs. Dupre’s? Yes, I was dis­cussing the project with my sister then. She had made it a stipulation that I should entirely detach myself from the family gentility,” with a bitter smile, “and I have done so, Hot because I am ashamed of what I am doing,” she added, a sudden flash coming into her eyes.

“Ashamed!” repeated Ulric. “If ever woman was a heroine you are one, Miss Warland, and I have no words to say how highly I honor your', or—or how deeply I despise myself for mis­understanding you.”

“Yes, to be sure,” said Mrs. Lovejoy, promptly flinging herself int® the cur­rent of popular opinion. “So very laudable—so spirited!”

The shawl was bought and paid for, but Mr. Perry never knew exactly what the price was. His mind was absorbed with something else,

Did ever a man propose and become accepted in the shawl department of a monster store, at high noon, before? Probably not. There must always be a precedent. Ulric used no special form of words. It is possible that his eyes spoke more than his lips, while Mrs. Lovejoy was busy directing the packing of her treasure. All that he was certain of was, that hedid propose and was accepted.

And for the second time Phebe War- land Openly acknowledged that shehad no objection to Changing her name.

Tile F irst R epeating R ifle.An Atlanta veteran was talking the

other day about his first experience with a repeating rifle.

“I was out on the picket line,” he tells it “and a lot of yankees kept shoot­ing at us from the shelter of a pine thicket. Finally we made a break for the thicket, and then we had it. Every fellow Would pick out his man, and then load and shoot, taking advantage of the shelter of the trees.”

“My yankee got the first shot, and missed me. As I was only seventy-five or one hundred yards away I thought I would reach him before he could load again, so l made a dash for him, He stepped out from his tree and aim­ed, but I thought he was just trying to bluif, so I didn’t stop till he pulled down on me.

“ *My Lord!I thought, ‘that’s the first rifle I ever saw with two barrels!’ I just halted, but thought surely his gun must be empty now, so I started for him again. Well sir, he just stood there and bang! bang! bang! bang! like milking a cow. 1 jumped for a tree mighty quick, I can tell you. I heard him just hollering behind the tree. It tickled him mightily. I didn’t know wbat to make of it. I put my cap out from behind the tree and be banged! banged! down on it. It scared me. I didn’t- know how long the thing would hold out. Presently though I saw him bending over. His head was protected, but his back was showing,. I took a good aim. Thd ball plunged through the fleshy part of the thigh, aDd as he hollered I made for him. He had dropped his gun and started to run, but he stopped and started back with me.

“I carried that old gun of his back and it was a great curiosity to our boys. They never did believe that it could shoot sixteen times, and I couldn’t prove it because lie had only one load left apd vi e couldn’t get any ammuni­tion to fit the gun. So we broke up the gun to keep the Yankees from getting hold of it again.”—Atlanta Constitu­tion,

B eavers— T h eir Sagacity and In ­dustry. w

Probably more has been written about the industry of the honey bee and the sagacity of the beaver than any other two members of the animal kingdom. A recent number of the Boston Journal of Commerce given a graphic description o f the intelligent and industrious beaver, as follows:

Beavers live in families, like human beings. The male has One wife, and the children stay at home until they are three years old, when they go abroad seeking companions of their own and set up housekeeping for themselves, If by any reason a gener­al breakup of the “lodge” takes place, the young beavers go down stream and the old ones up, as it is easier to build a dam up stream, where the water is shallower, and generally bark from small trees is more easily obtained.

The lodges, if not broken up by man, remain in use for a lorg series of years, and are admirably adapted to convenience and safety. Each lodge on the hank of a stream has three openings, and sometimes more. The first entrance slopes up gradually from the bottom of the stream to the cham­ber where the beavers live. By this entrance they bring in their food, which consists o f short sticks of wood covered with bark, cut short enough to be turned or handled any way inside of the living room. Another entrance, or way of egress rather, goes straight down from the chamber to the bottom of the river, when it turns squarely and comes out into the bottom of the stream. Down this hole they drop the sticks when they have eaten off the bark, and then drag the white naked pieces of wood out of the bottom to float away. The third entrance is from beneath also, and is sinuous, turning in many ways, and serves a good purpose when beseiged by an en­emy, All these entrance ways are arched over with sticks and plastered with mud and grass. The bottoms of these entrance ways are also laid with short sticks like corduroy The lodge or chamber itself is a house from six to eight feet square, laid up against the wall with sticks like a log cabin. lVhen a stick iu the wall of this cabin rots, it is carefully removed and another put In its place.

The beaver exercises great dliligence and wisdom in procuring and storing its food. Thick bark on the trunks of large trees is not suitable for him and his family, and so they cut down the tree for the smaller limbs, on which the bark is more tender and nutritious. Two nights work is suificent to fell a large tree, each family being left to en joy-the fruits of its own la­bor. It is said they promptly kill all socialists, trouble breeders, ana those that are two lazy to work. When a tree on which they are working begins to crackle, they desist from cutting till they begin to fall, when they plunge into the water one after another, “ plunk,” “plunk,” “plunk,” till all are Id , where they wait with great caution least the noise of the falling tree might attract some enemy to the place, may­be some fool with a gun. Hor is this all. They know how to regulate the cutting of a tree so as to make it fall always in the water. This is done so as to enable them to transport their short sticks by water to the lodge. Master beaver places it under his throat and pushes it before him to the place where it is to be sunk at the month o f the entrance' way to the lodge.

A book might be written on the beavers’ dam. This is, without doubt, the most ingenious and scientific structure built by any creature save man. The * object of this dam is to raise and hold the water so as to cover the entrance Way to his chamber. This makes the beaver both comfortable and safe. The dam is con­structed of sticks, mud, and stones gathered together with great skill and labor. The breadth of the base and top of the beavers' dam is always in exact- proportion to Its height and length and the volume of water to be held.

A -Kentuckian's P oint o f View *

A little story is told, by the Washing­ton Star, of Congressmen Caruth and McCreary, of Kentucky, illustrative of sectional peculiarities. The nativity of a business man in the mountain region, Who hud gone into the state from Indi­ana a dozen years before, was ques­tioned, McCreary holding that he was a Kentuckian and Caruth taking the opposite ground, and 65 was ready for the winner. A few days afterward the three men met at a hotel and the two statesmen told the business man they had bet on him.

“Well, what- is it?” lie said, good naturedly, at the same time taking off his overcoat and handing it to a color­ed boy, with the remarx: “Be careful, Henry, and don’t let the pistol in that outside pocket knock against the bottle of whisky and break it,”

But neither man answered him and Caruth quietly handed a @5 bill over! saying:

“ That settles it ; I’d have sworn in any court, though, that he wasn’t a Kentuckian.”

The business man explained later, and then McCreary put his S3 with .Caruth’s and they had champagne with their supper.

There is no such thing in this day and generation, aptly says the Medical Yisitor, “ as making haste slowly.” If the Chicago business man could be shot through a pneumatic tube into Hew York City in the space of a few minutes, the limited express train tak­ing twenty-four hours to reach there would no longer be patronized. And if the New Yorker could land in Liv­erpool in less than two days via. an air line, the ocean greyhounds would find their day o f usefulness had fled. Ho one has time to build Egyptian pyamids nowadays; indeed, with every facility to visit the land of the Phar­aohs, few of us have time even to stop and look at such works of art. Speed is the necessity of necessities in our time, and if lightning speed can be ob­tained, nothing but lightning speed will be tolerated. This rule applies equally to firing a gun, making money or the developement. of science. This century has already passed through the phases of a cotton age, an iron age, and is rapidly being transformed into an electical age.

The Niagara River Hydraulic Tun­nel, Power, and Sewer Company will now, it is stated, carry out its plan for utilizing the fall of water at Niagara, by building its main tunnel and con­necting cross tunnels with wheel pits. The estimate of cost is @2,250.000. It is estimated that i f thirty mills of 500 horse power each- are built, it would pay- five per cent upon a capital of @3,- 000,000, while if all privileges were taken the result would pay the interest upon a large block of bonds and a handsome return upon the stock, One of the best known banking houses in Wall Street is deeply Interested in this undertaking. The scheme is one of sound .engineering and is thorough­ly practicable.—The Electric World.

P revention o f Consumption.The health department of the city of

Providence has Issued the following circular:

“Consumption causes more deaths than any other disease the human race is subject to, Nevertheless it is to a very great extent preventable.' It is, though not generally known, a eonta- geous disease. Consumption, or pul­monary tuberculosis, is in every case caused by disease germs which grow in the lungs in enormous numbers. When a person is sick with this dis­ease, these germs are coughed up in great quantities in the expectoration, and When this becomes dry and crum­bles, or is trodden to dust, the germs float about in the air and are liable to be breathed into the lungs of any one- If the lungs of the person who does breathe them are poorly developod, or if the constitution is feeble, the germs are very sure to grow and cause the disease. Unfortunately, we do not know how to kill them when they are once in the air passages. The best that can be done is to build up the sys­tem and strengthen the lungs by the use of cod liver oil, good food, and fresh air.

Much, moreover, can be done to pre­vent the spread of the disease by de­stroying the germs as completely as possible in every case.

1. No person with consumption should ever spit on the floor or in the street. I f handkerchiefs or bits of cloth are employed, they should at once be disinfected or burned. A good plan is to use a wide-mouthed bottle with a rubber stopper. The contents should be thrown into the fire and the bottle and stopper thoroughly scalded with boiling hot water every day.

2. The dishes used by a consump­tive should be at once scalded, and the unwashed underwear and bed clothing should be thoroughly boiled as soon as possible.

3. When a person with consump­tion has diarrhea, the discharges from the bowels should at once be disinfect­ed, as at this time they contain the disease germs. A good way Is to add a half-teacupful of fresh chloride of lime, or fill up the chamber vessel with 'boiling water.

4. Ho one with consumption should. sleep in the same room with another person, and the room occupied by a consumptive should be thoroughly cleansed as often as possible.

5. Ho mother with consumption should nurse an infant, and children ought never to be taken care of by a consumptive person,”—Boston M. and 8. Journal.

A Business Man’s Opinion.President Roberts, of the Pennsylva­

nia Company, when asked lately as to his views concerning the present out­look, said: “It is a difficult time to judge of the future. I f the question had been asked of me a year ago I would have said the outlook was poor; but in less than three months activity began, aDd I ordered new cars, al­though there were 5,000 idle cars on the tracks. It is seldom that you can correctly judge the future; but there is no reason why the manufacturers of the country, and especially those in iron and steel, should not have a very fair season. The outlook for railroad trafie is encouraging also. I have a notion, too, that we as a nation, are about to become exporter of manufac­tured products to a larger extent than ever before. Our industries will now seek success outside of the domestic market, which they have heretofore depended upon. But our large and profitable consumption giyes us an ad­vantage over older producing coun­tries, where most manufactured arti­cles have to seek a market outside the home market,”

Thomas Howell saw an eagle of im­mense size hovering over the farm of John Kane, near Holman, Ind., Thurs­day, and, arming himself with a rifle, started to bag the big bird- His three dogs followed him. A well-aimed shot brought the eagle down wounded in the wing. Howell attempted to gather him up, but retreated rapidly before the fierce resistance of the bird, although assisted by his three dogs. Then men came to Howell’s assistance and the bird was finally captured arid taken to Howell’s home, but had to be shot three times before he could be bandied, and Soon -died. It is estimated that the bird was 250 years old. H « measured seven feet four inches from tip to tip and weighed 10i pounds. His talons were seven inches broadrand his claws were one and one-fourth inches in length.

When one of the first importations Of ice from America arrived in India it was most amusing to see the anxiety with which it was sought after. The deposits were only open forashort time before sunrise, when crowds otcooHes were in attendance to carry off the, portions required by their employers; these portions were immediately en­veloped in thick blankets iarid inclosed in baskets, which were carried, off with all speed; but a very considerable quantity invariably dissolved before they could reach their respective des­tinations, says the Hew York Ledger. Two or three natives crowding around a basket, which bad just arrived, were eager to touch the novelty ; but, im­mediately on feeling its extreme cold­ness, they ran away, exclaiming thatit was “hurra gurram” —very hot. A child, too, cried violently, and told his mamma that the “glass had burnt his fingers.”

Professor Dujardin-Beaumetz, Paris, - France, In a recent lecture at the Co­chin Hospital, Paris, France, on the ' treatment of, nervous diseases .said: I need not here speak of the adyan-; tanges and danger of morphine. I have many times discussed this sub­ject, showing that i f morphine is an admirable analgesic medicament it is that the patient becomes accustomed to and dependent on the morphine in­jections, and ends in a morphiomaniac.

It may be affirmed that morphioma*., nia has become one o f the vices of thw day, we may almost lay itdownisarule' that any patient who for thirty consec­utive days takes morphine injections will ever after be a victim to the habit,. • even when the symptoms o f the pri­mary malady shall have completely ' disappeared; and it will thenceforth be a matter o f no little difficulty to cure tbe morphine habit, now become a disease more rebellious than the affection for which these injections were first ordered.

Tbe number of morphiomaniacs In­creases every day, and this deplorable vice exists in all classes o f ' society, . Unfortunately, our own profession is not exempt from this abuse, arid- I know quite a number of medical .• f teres who have been or are still vic­tims of morphine.

A 5 per cent solution is squeezed* - from a sponge over the denuded, sur­face, which is then'dressed with some v s o f t ointment, either with or without tannin.

The skins that make it grow upon the gray deer—a species found only in the neighborhood of the great northern lakes. They are worth 20 cents a pound when just stripped off. When they come back to us as piano leather the price has risen from $15 to Sis a pound.

Tne guests find their number and follow by the threads through all their devirous windings to tbe end, where a prize awaits them.

Grover Cleveland has fust sold his Washington home at a clean ad­vance of $100,000, and has gained the notable record of being the first Presi­dent of the United States to make $100,000 out of property by -reason of improvements made at public expense.

A Kansas farmer sold a beef animal to a butcher for 2 cents a pound, agree­ing to take a quarter of it for his own use. The butcher charged him regular rates for the meat, and when they set­tled the farmer owed the butcher $2. It was not on account of “ the robber tariff’ either.

Two hundred’ and one fradulent bal­lots were found in a single ballot-box in the Seventh Assembly District of Hudson county, Yew Jersey, Thursday.

Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own. and then de­nounce them for not being as large as the big city papers.

Y o f Suited W ith P rohibition .D es M ouses, la., Feb. 27.— In his in­

augural address to-day the newly elect­ed Democratic governor, Bois, said that the prohibitory laws had been de spised, disregarded and ignored in most of the large cities of the state.- The use of intoxicating liquors as a bever­age bad not been diminished. Millions and millions of the capital of the citi­zens had been invested in the business, and then it had been coldly wiped out without an effort to compensate those who were ruined thereby. Wherever the law had been enforced owners had been impoverished. In his judgment the chief object of the enforcement of the law lay in the fact that it was a cruel violation of one 6f the most valua­ble o f human rights. The message recommends the framing of a license law for those localities which desire it.

The idea of this Democratic gover­northat Prohibition is wrong because it impoverishes owners and interferes with, the private business of citizens, is not a very strong argument in these days. The horse-thief and gambler

‘ make the same plea against interfer­ence with their private business.

The Three Oaks Quill publishes the following interesting biography o f Hon. Tbos. Love, whose death was an­nounced in these columns last week:

Mr. Love was born near Hillsboro, London county, Virginia, Sept. S, 1S10. He was at the inauguration o f General Andrew Jackson as President of the U, Si in 1829. He spent some time in the state o f Ohio in XSS0, and came to Berrien Springs, in this county, proba­bly in 1831. He was in the merchan- tile business in that place as a part­ner of Edward Ballengee m 1S33 and continued to be so for some years. He was deputy county treasury under Wm, Lemon, 1S3S to 1840, in the last named year was elected county treasurer. In 1S44 he was elected county clerk and re-elected in 1S46. He was in business as a merchant, manufacturer of lum­ber, surveyor or farm r at or near Ber­rien Springs from his first coming un­til iS54, at which time he located at What is now called Avery, ard, in company 'with the late Gilbert B. Avery, built and operated a saw mill which did a large business for many years, after which he engaged in farm­ing and surveying.

Upon the organization of Three Oaks township in iS56, Mr. Love was elect­ed a justice of the peace and was re­elected for several terms; was super­visor of the township, 1S57-5S; was elected county surveyor in, IS62-G4. He was an efficient and popular officer and was several times elected over ad­verse party majorities. He was a member of the Michigan Engineering Society. He did much to bring the records of the township out of the chaos into which they had fallen and also in laying out and adorning the township cemetery, where his remains now lie.

Mr. Love married Yov. 14, 1S55, Miss Harriett Morgan, at Yorwieb, Conn, The children born to them were three: Eli, who is now engagedin a bank at Riverside, Gal.; Ozro, who is cashier and paymaster of the Des Moines Valley R. R., Iowa; and Gil­bert J„ who died several years since,

Mr. Love is almost the last of the early settlers of this county who at­tained prominence as men o f affairs. He was a true, earnest, sincere gentle­man, prudent, careful and just; a good citizen who did his part to maintain order and good government: a beloved husband. He will be sincerely mourn­ed as a citizen, friend, father and hus­band.

E lkhart, Ind., Feb. 2S.—A 3-year- old child, whose parents were asleep in a coach of Lake Shore and Michigan Southern passenger train Yo.9, walked down the aisle and fell off the platform when the train was a mile from this city this morning—on its way to Chi­cago, and running at high rate of speed. It was supposed the child had been in­stantly killed, but upon stopping the train and going back the little one was found standing in the middle of the

. track uninjured, aside from a slight Scratch on one ear. Railroad men say they never heard o f such g miraculous, escape, especially of a child.

N uptial.A wedding that attracted consider­

able attention in the social circles o f Buchanan, took place March 4, high noon, when Rose E. Rough became the bride of Clyde M. Valentine. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. A. Frye before about thirty guests, near relatives o f bride and groornThe bride’s dress was the beautiful new shade of old pink in soft wool goods,with tailor- made back, the front with soft cascades and plaits. A trail o f srailax and rose buds crossed the bodice from right to left. The bridesmaids were attired in light blue albatross with cream lace.

The dinner was set out on tables which were decorated in light blue, the favorite color of the bride.

During the reception from. 2 :20 to 4:30, the bride was gowned in a court train and bodice of light blue brocade, of a very hand­some pattern. The high collar of ex­quisite lace looked very soft and pretty around the neck. The happy couple re­ceived congratulations from about seventy people, who, as they wandered from room and received the souveniers of wedding cake from two little maids in cream and blue, Were greeted with sweet strains of music.

Mr,sf Clark was a lady who bad the universal respect of alb -who knew her, as was attested by the large concourse of people attend- ing her funeral obsequies. As a kind mother and benefactor she had but few equals. Her exemplary disposition and Christian fortitude won for her a name and place in the hearts o f those associ­ated with her influence, which we are disposed to belieye will bevelop in a beautiful wreath of immortal bliss in that beautiful home of the Soul where sorrow and pain never shall invade. And while our hearts are bleeding over the spoils that death has won, and her form we no longer behold, thus leaving an aching void, yet her benign influence and noble deeds still live, beckoning us on in our struggles here, and perchance will blossom in other lives,leading them up to that haven of rest that remains for the people of God, The funeral discourse was delivered by Elder Faunce, of the Christian church of Yew Carlisle, Ind., and her body laid to rest in the Galien cemetery on the 26th ofFebruary.

Feb. 28,1890. f E d it o r R e c o r d .— A note at the

post-office informed me that Mr. W. C. Stryker, one o f your most esteemed young men, is making a visit to the Golden State, but owing to his haste I was unable to see him. He informed me that he was much pleased with our beautiful city, and thinks he will be resident in the Garden of Paradise ere long. When any of your cultured peo­ple come to the coast, I would be very glad to have them know they are al­ways welcome to come and stay with me. I would be only too glad to show them our beautiful surrounding country, and go on a prospecting hunt­ing trip, as bear, mountain lion, elk, deer and antelope are very plentiful inside of a hundred miles from here, which would be only a nice two day’s drive, with a sir in hand, which would be needed, as the mountains roads are rough and steep, but the scenery is beautiful.

l am permanently settled here, and think there is no place like San Luis Obispo. I have had the grippe, and reduced in flesh until I got down to 238 pounds. Clams and climate are nour­ishing. Yours truly,

H eld at W atervliet Tuesday and W ednes­day, February 25 and 20.

The convention opened promptly at 2 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, with devotion­al exercises led by C. H, Johnson, who, by his earnest and pleasant manner, gave the meeting a lively start. Pres. Warren then took the chair, and briefly addressed the meeting in a few well- chosen words, and asked the question: “What do I expect to gain from this convention?” Which drew from the audience a variety of respOnces. Rev. M. M. Martin suggested that all should contribute something to our knowl­edge to the common treasurer, and then each would gain something. Geo. Parsons then cordially welcomed the delegates, to which President Warren responded in his usual hearty manner. Reports from townships being next in order, about thirty minutes was used in hearing lrom nearly every township in the county. Lack of space will not permit us to particularize, though the reports were uniformly good, and showed the Sunday schools of the county to be in good condition, and the Sunday school workers better or­ganized than heretofore.

Mrs. C. W. Halland, of St. Joseph, bad been,assigned the topic “ Can more children be brought into our Sunday school?” but was unable to be present. But she had thoughtfully forwarded her essay, and Mrs. Alva Sherwood, of Three Oaks, read it, The essay abound­ed in valuable suggestions and gave the convention much food for thought. Rev. M. M. Martin, of Three Oaks, then read a paper on “The book we study.” It consisted almost wholly of quota- sions from the brightest and most able bibical students of the world and was truly a rare and rich collection of gems. This closed the first days’ ses­sion, and the people of Watervliet es­corted to their homes about seventy- five guests, feeling that it was a pleas­ure to entertain such people.

Wednesday’s session opened at nine o’clock with a song and praise service, led by James Baley, .of Benton Harbor, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. In fact much o f the success of the convention was due to Mr. Ba- ley’s hearty and inimitable method of leading the song service from the open­ing to the closing session.

The Executive committee presented the convention their views on the county work, which showed they had given the matter much thought and consideration. Secretary Gillette then submitted his annual reporty which we would be pleased to give in detail, if space permitted. The summaries are as follows:Missionary collections...........$1,448.87For state and county work___ 77.8SFor support of Sunday school. 2,422.21

Yumber schools reported. . . . . . . . 100Officers and teachers reported— 1140 Scholars and teachers reported... 7318Members reported......................... S45SAverage attendance................ 5712Received into church from S. S .. 255

Mr. Gillette also read a paper on “Yalue and use of statistics” in which he showed conclusively that Sunday school statistics were absolutely nec­essary in order to fully understand the present needs of Sunday school work in our county. The value of such sta­tistics can not be measured, but the forces and undeveloped fields are made known and an incentive for increased effort is the result.

On motion of C. H. Johnson, the con­vention pledged Berrien county to give $100 to aid the state work. During the discussion of the county work, excellent suggestions were made by Y . Yims, M. Jennings, Thos. Evans, R. B. Gregg and others. Miss Lena Eldred, o f Benton Harbor, introduced the topic, “What can a teacher do for the scholar outside of the class work”, and said that all have responsibilites in this line, and that much good can he done by the teacher who should devote as much time as possible to this part of the work. The discussion following brought out the fact that the teach­ers by meeting the scholars in a cheerful manner, by inviting them to her home, and by being courteous and attractive can do a wonderful work outside the class. Mrs. Barrett, of Yiles, introduced the “primary work” in which she urged its great impor­tance. Mrs. W. W.-*Ward, of Eau Claire, and Mrs. W . L . Garratt, of Wa­tervliet, and others, outlined some successful primary methods. As the

.closing hour approached the President announced the topic, “Parting words”. Many took this opportunity to express their high appreciation of the conven­tion, the exceedingly interesting pro­gramme rendered, the valuable and efficient work of the officers, and of pledging renewed feally to the work.

It was from the opening, Tuesday p. in., until the closing, Wednesday p. m., a lively, interesting and profitable meeting, and many .who ought to Know .declared it was the most successful

unday School Convention ever held in Berrien county.

The officers were all re-elected, and are as follows: Pres., E .K . Warren,Three Oaks: Vice Pres., W. W . Cooper, St. Joseph; Treas., James Baley, Ben­ton Harbor; Sec. Joel H. Gillett, Yiles; Executive Committee* E. K. Warren, W. W. Cooper, Joel H. Gillett, James Baley, W P. Harmon, Geo. W. Sieka- foose, Geo. Parsons.- Watervliet Record,

Sunday School Convention. the story goes that when the elder Harrison came West he brought with him $3,000 for investment. He drifted to Hlinois first and was offered for $4,000 a fine farm which stretched out right where the business heart of the Chicago of today is located. It was a cardinal principle with Mr Harrison not to run into debt, however, he there­fore turned bis back on the $4,000 proposition, and, coming to Michigan, bought his farm in Lansing township, near the present Agricultural college.- It is said that Mr. Harrison in later years often seriously regretted that he did not gather in the metropolis of the West, when he had a chance to gobble it for about $20 an acre.

AN EFFECTIVE BLOW.

Tom Kelly, the Pugilist, Discovers a Blair. That Is Worse Than the Jowl.

How can a man best defend himself when unarmed he is stopped on the street and told to hold up his hands?

Tom. Kelly, the well known veteran pugilist, was talking about this very thing last night. Se.said: “ Inmost cases the footpad has the drop on a man.

“ He is well armed, and hits you be­fore you know it. Or, you are in dan­ger of being killed if you resist, at the point of a pistol. Thugs come armed for their work, and they know it; so does the fellow who is held up.

“ Once in a while you may have a chance to save yourself by slugging the would be robber and kuoeiring him out. Not with any weapon save your fist.

“ Let me illustrate it to you. I won’t hurt you.”

The veteran lutter turned to the re­porter—the largest and best developed man on the paper, and Kelly’s equal physically. Raising his arm the ex­pugilist brought his fist slowly around, catching the reporter on the very tip of the jaw, plumb, below the end of the mouth on the left side.

The blow was gently delivered. If it struck the stomach", or any other vital or sensitive part of the body, it would scarcely he noticed.

But it didn’t. It seemed as if a sledge hammer had landed on the whole side o f the face. The pain was almost unbearable. It was sharp, se­vere and stunning. The shock seemed to jar the whole Lead and teeth.

Mr. Kelly offered to repeat the operation by way of a more forcible illustration, hut the reporter declined.

“ Now, try it on me. Your fist isn’t so hard as mine, so put a little more ginger in your blow.” The veteran winced and made a wry face, though the blow was simply a tap.

“ That spot is ' the most sensitive in the body, ” said the once famous hitter.

“ I have been struck there many a time, and know it. Astonishingly few people seems to know that. It’s the popular impression that a blow be­neath the ear is the most effective, but such is not a fact. This ear, or jugu­lar blow, simply stings. Try both of these blows on yourself, and see.”

“ W hy is this blow in the chin so effective?”

“ I can't tell exactly. Physicians differ as to the cause. I think that there is a very sensitive nerve that will paralyze, or at least stun thet brain. Most of the fighters you hear of being knocked out receive the un­lucky chin blow.

“ All the advice I have to offer to those cornered by a footpad Is to swing your arm quickly around, let your strength and force go with it, and be sure you strike that part of the jaw below and at either end of the mouth.

“ The blow is not serious, hut it stuns. Always be careful to guard yourself well with the other hand. The full force of such a blow from a light man will floor the heaviest of foot­pads. But never, never, never, lose your head.”-—St. Louis Chronicle. *

On one of the ocean steamers once a friend of mine was a passenger. There was a lady aboard with her daughter. She was from Wisconsin. She said so so often that finally they took her word for it and believed it. She knew pretty nearly everything outside of Wiscon­sin, too. Her daughter had to indorse so many extraordinary scraps of infor­mation that she could only say, ‘ ‘Yes, ma,” when her mother called upon her to confirm her statements. The old lady had a lovely time, for she poked her nose into everybody’s busi­ness; from the passenger who was sick to the captain who was well and running the snip as well as he could with her assistance. One day the pur­ser, the captain and several others were sitting around smoking, when the Wisconsin encyclopedia came on deck. As she came up the purser said, in an ordinary conversational tone, with a wink:

“ I see M r.------, of Wisconsin, hasbeen appointed minister to China.”

“ Yes, indeed he has,” broke in the lady; “ yes, indeed he has, and I am glad of it. I’ve known him many years, and many and many a sermon I,have listened to from him in his own church. He is a splendid preacher.”— San Francisco Chronicle.

Somebody has been taking a religious census o f the city of Hillsdale, and finds that 1,200 of the population—in­cluding women and children and the hired girl—go to church regularly, and about as many more go when their clothes are new. Something like 2,000 never go inside of a church building, unless there’s an entertainment o f some sort and the seats are free.—Detroit Journal.

The collision between two pieces of a freight train at Kalamazoo yesterday would never have happened if a pas­senger train bad not stood upon the track in the way so that the engineer of the freight could not get upon a siding with the first piece without let­ting the other run down the grade into the passenger. With only a moment to make up his mind he therefore held back away from the passenger train and deliberately let a collision come off between the two parts o f his train at a safe place where nobody would be hurt. Thirteen cars were smashed, but nobody was held to blame, and the chances are the engineer will get a long credit mark .from his employers.— Detroit News.

Tear Bottles.Before the days of la grippe, when

the ladies of Pompeii were the belles of the day, posed as the professional beauties, and for all we know bad their photographs taken ana got a per­centage on them, well bred people did not cry in handkerchiefs. They drop­ped their tears slowly and gracefully into vials of cut glass, that had gold stoppers, set about with precious stones. There can be no doubt that the woman with thoughts upon a graceful pose practiced with her tear bottle before her mirror, and can there be anything more touching than, when one’s best young man was off to the wars, sending him by registered letter a little note saying: “ You have all my heart and these are the tears I have wept for you since your ab­sence!” The tear bottle could be in­closed as practical proof, and the maiden fair would write on the out­side of the envelope in large letters: “ Glass—please do not stamp too hard.” Those, indeed, were the days of romance. Undoubtedly, some very fetching young Women, who appreci­ated the impression made by a bottle of tears, but didn’t like getting a red nose, had their slaves do the weeping for them, and physically cultured themselves by administering to the slaves a good sound whipping, so that they might have something to weep for.—Toronto Globe.

TIms Proper Weiglit o f Man.Professor Huxley asserts tbat the

proper weight of a man is 154pounds, made up as follows: Musclesaud their appurtenances, 68 pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds; skin, 104 pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain, 3 pounds; abdominal viscera, 11 pounds; blood, which would drain from the body, 7 pounds. The heart of such a man should beat 75 times a minute, and be should breathe 15 times a minute. In 24 hours he should vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of pure air to the extent of 1 per cent. A man, therefore, of the Weight men­tioned should have S00 cubic feet of well ventilated space. He should throw off through the skin 18 ounces of water, 300 grains of solid matter and 400 grains of carbonic acid every 24 hours, and his total loss during that period should be 6 pounds of water and about 2 pounds of other matter.- St. Louis Republic.

A Enneral in triples.While traversing one of the narrow

streets I was fortunate enough to see a funeral, writes a Naples correspond­ent. Of course, I was sorry for the deceased, but I was glad, since there was a corpse, that I was there to see the funeral procession, as it is one of the most curious of sights. The corpse is placed in a highly decorated recep­tacle on a raised platform, which is carried high over the heads of the eight hearers. Then come about a dozen of the Brothers of the Misere- cordia in their grotesque costumes of a white flowing sheet, with heads en­tirely concealed by the same, save the large holes cut for eyes and m outh - looking like ghosts of the past. After them came about twenty old -chaps dressed in black, with huge black hats of ancient make. After these came the relatives and friends, the Brothers of the Misereoordia ana the solemn old chaps who are hired for the occasion. No funeral in Naples would be com­plete without them,

Straw berry P lants in W in ter.In setting out strawberries it is well

to select ground which is not liable to be raked with sharp winter winds, and where at least a partial covering of snow will not be blown off and the land left bare. The shelter of screens of evergreens within a few rods will be useful. In nearly all localities, shel­tered or otherwise, winter mulching is important. Even a thin covering of evergreen branches will afford protec­tion enough for the strawberry plants to come out with a fresh and lively green when uncovered in the spring, contrasting with the dull and brown color of the strawberry leaves that have been fully exposed to the sun, wind and freezing, i f evergreens can­not be had, chopped cornstalks put ou thin enough to partly admit air and light will cause the partial retention of snow and shelter from hard winds. A little covering o f thin straw does well if free from the seeds of weeds. This covering is to be applied after the ground is frozen, and not removed in spring till danger has past of hard freezing.—Albany Cultivator.

Ventilating Diving Rooms.The question o f ventilation is even

more difficult than tbat of beating. If one uses a stove the oxygen in the room, must supply the fire as well as the lungs of the inmates, and unless it is constantly re-enforced from the out­side it will become exhausted, and the air of the room will be unfit to breathe, both from the exhaustion of the oxy­gen and from the exhalations from the bodies of those who live in it. A good way to ventilate is to close the doors between the living room and the one adjoining; then in the latter open all the windows until the air is entirely renewed; then close the windows and open the connecting doors. This has been used with success in the ease of invalids. Another way is to raise one of the sashes a few inches, and have a strip of wood fitted snugly in below the sash. The air will then enter up­ward between the sashes, and will cause no draught. A hinged pane in one of the windows is an excellent thing, as is also a ventilator set in one of the panes.—Boston Herald.

E d ito r B uchan an R ecord . — In your last week’s issue I saw a 3bort item, to which my attention was drawn from its peculiar wording; which read as follows: “ There is a law in thisstate against quack doctors, but unfor­tunately we have no protection against the faith cure nonsense.” I would say fortunately we have, even in Buchanan, a few honest-hearted men and women who are not ashamed to acknowledge the blessed promise of God, as record­ed by the apostle James in his 5th chapter and 15th verse, “And the prayer o f faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise them np.” And the 16th reads, “ Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed, the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Let us think of these things seriously before we condemn.

• A Be l ie v e r .Quack doctors also find believers.

There is but one thing that will be likely to give the creditors of the de­funct Berrien Springs bank more than fifty cents on the dollar, and that is, that the $20,000 invested in the St, Joseph Valley railroad improvements may be realized upon, and the likeli­hood of this happening is not most en­couraging. Without this the percent­age is likely to fall below fifty. Bather tough on the creditors, but it adds to the lesson regarding hanks and rail­roads working well together.

A r a t h e r extraordinary solar halo was seen from this vicinity, Sunday afternoon. In the different minds of various citizens it has all kinds Of meaning. One class look upon it as one of the much looked for second coming; others see in it a sign o f Cold weather, and others o f warm. The Fulton addition “coons” were so badly scared they are said to have turned white. “ Tige” Davis was a rich stone color next morning.

The St. Joseph Valley railroad has gone into dry dock once more. It is well-known to many that when they get into close quarters, they will be subject'to cold sweats. This is the case with the railroad. The engine sweats so occasionally that steam can­not be raised, and now these sweats have become chronic, and the engine will have to go to the doctor’s before It can. be used again. Meantime, if you have any business at Berrien Springs, the walking is good.

B u c h a n a n township library has just had 132 new volumes added, rais­ing the number of volumes in the libra­ry to about 1600. The record kept by the librarian shows that from March 5,1889, to March a, 1890, there have been 7030 books taken from the libra­ry, and we have an idea that there are very few public libraries in the state that will show a better proportionate patronage than is given that in Bu­chanan. As an educator, there is no investment made in the township that will show greater proportionate re­turns. There is bat one trouble with it, and that is the annual appropriation given the library is barely enough to pay for wear and tear, without increas­ing the number o f volumes.

J. Graham, on Friday last, was nom­inated by the president as postmaster at Buchanan to succeed J. G. Mansfield. Beports from Buchanan indicate that Dr. Mansfield has "run” the office in an extremely satisfactory manner, having an eye to the convenience of the public alone, but he is a Democratic ex-soldier and must go. So much for Republican civil service reform.—Niles Democrat.

The Republican civil service reform happens in this case to be all right. We shall now have a Republican ex- soldier. Besides the office has been in Democratic Control four years now.

Ou r Fairland correspondent made the erroneous statement in his items, Friday that W. Smith, of that vicinity, 90 years of age, was the oldest man in Berrien county. Father Atkinson, of this place, was 92 years of age his last birthday, and is probably entitled to the'honor of being the oldest person in the county. I f there is an individual within the borders o f our county that is further advanced in years we would be pleased to have his or her name.— Benton Harbor Palladium.

Niles can heat this. Mrs. Mead, of this city, is now 93 years old, and is hale and hearty, with fair promise of several years more of life and health.— Niles Republican.

While the Palladium is trotting out the old people of the county, it might not forget that Buchanan has one citi­zen who has been a member of the Ma­sonic lodge 71 years. His mame is C. J. Ingersoll.

Messrs. H. A. and C. A. Chapin have been very successful in prospect­ing for artesian water on their proper­ty south of the fair ground. A new well just finished for them by John Burke sends out 100 gallons of pure water every minute. Now that it has been demonstrated that artesian water can be easily procured here, a large well will be sunk, when it is expected that a gusher will be obtained, or enough to supply the whole city.—Niles Star.

A special telegram from Holland to the Grand Rapids Democrat says:

The railroad committee, at a public meeting held here Tuesday evening,an­nounced that the Grand Rapids & Lake Michigan railroad bad decided to run their line through Holland, Saugatuck, Douglass, South Haven to Benton Har­bor, and that it will be under the management of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad.

Bad News for Newspaper Dead Beats.

Cheerful news for newspaper pro­prietors comes from Ohio. A paper in that state recently brought suit against forty-three men who would not pay their subscription, and obtained judgment for the full amount in each case. Twenty-eight at once prevented attach­ment by making affidavit that they had no more than the law allowed. Under the decision of the Supreme Court they were arrested for petit larceny and bound over in the sum of $300. Six of these did not give bond, and went to jail. This is the result of the working of the new postal law, which makes It larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it.— Western Journalist.

Shall this little game be tried iu Ber­rien county? There certainly is abund­ant occasion for it. For instance, when a human animal, of the male persua­sion, is furnished with reading matter for himself and family a term of years, the publisher asks for some money and is plainly told to “go to hell,” should not that animal be prosecuted?

H ow George Moore, th e Englisb Drum ; liter, W on a lle t o f Five- Pounds.

M any are 4he stories still told by commercial travelers,:;about .George - Moore; the celebrated. English drum­mer’s determination to get orders, He would riot be denied, says Samuel Smiles; I f refused at first,-ne resorted to a ll sorts of expedients .until lie suc­ceeded.

On one occasion, he sold his clothes off his back to get an order. A tena­cious draper in a Lancashire town re­fused to deal w ith .him . The draper Was quite satisfied w ith , the firm that supplied him , and he would make no change. This became known amongst the commercial .travelers at the hotel, and one of them made a bet o f five, pounds w ith George Moore that he would not obtain an order.

George set out again. The draper, saw him entering the shop and cried out, “ All fu ll! all full, Mr. Moore!..I told you so before I”

“ Never mind,’’ said George, “ you won’t object to a crack.”

“ Oh, no !” said-the draper. - T hey cracked about .m any things,

and then George Moore, calling the draper’s attention to anew coat which he wore, asked what he thought of it ?

“ It’s a capital coat,” said the draper. “ Yes, first rate; m ade.in. the best

style b y a first rate London tailor. ”The draper looked at it again, and

again .admired. it.“ W hy,” said, George, “ you are ex­

actly m y size; it’s quite new; H I sell it you.”

“ What’s'the price?”“ Twenty-five shillings.”* ‘What?- That’s-very cheap. ”“ Yesr itfsaigreat bargain.”“ Then. I ’ll buy-it,” said the draper. George went hack to his hotel,’ ;

donned another suit, and sent the. .. “ great bargain” to the draper.. George, Calling again^. the draper offered to pay’ ■ him.

“ No, no,.”;saidjGbeorge, “ I’l l book it; you’ve opened RnAaccount^” .

Mr. Mooreliad,sdld the coat at a loss, X but he was-recouped-hy theftve pound bet which.he;wout.ana.he.ahtained.ah order beside.. The draper..afterwards became one of his best customers!

On another-occasion- -a draper at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was called.upon many times .‘without any result; He , was always “ full.” In fact, he had no intention of opening an account with . the new firm. Mr. Moore got .to ; know- that he was f and of a particular kind of snuff—Rappee, with a touch of Beg-. gar’sBrownln it .-

He provided- himself. with ,a box. in London,.and had. it filled with the snuff. When at Newcastle he called... upon.the draper, butwas-met-asiusuak with the remark::.

“ Quite fu ll,; quite fu ll, sir.”“ Well,” said Mr. Moore, “ Iscarcely

expected an-order, but- I called ,upori;. you for a reference

“ Oh, by all means.”In the courseof conversation George

pulled out his snuff-box, tpoka pinch, and returned it to his pocket. After ia short interval he took it out again, - took another pinch, - and -said, “ i sup­pose.: you, ;ara not...guilty of this had,.. habit?”

“ Sometimes,’’ said the draper.George handed' -him ’the box. He.

took-;a. pdnch with zest, and said,h.. through.the snnff,^i‘WeU* that’syery-a: f in e !” !t

A child bom .when fho moon is new Will surely live past oighty-two,

they would chant to themselves, and be happy with the thought. The sec­ond day was not so lucky as the first.

. The; child born on that day would grow fast, but not live long. If born on the fourth -day of the moon, it would be a great politician; i f on the tenth,-a great traveler; if on the twen­ty-first;, the chances were that it would be a thief or a highwayman. But of all the days of the week or month the most lucky by far was Sunday, and should such day happen to be a new moon day, the child’s prosperity was destined to be unbounded. Friday was a most unlucky birthday, not only because, it was the day of the cruci­fixion of--Christ, but because, accord­ing to old time calculations, it was be­lieved by the Anglo-Saxons to have been the day upon which Adam ate the forbidden fruit. In this connec­tion it may be interesting to mention that the Khurds and the Armenians be­lieve' that Adam was expelled from Paradise on Friday, and that the be­ginning of the flood was the same day. -o>St; ■ Louis Bepublic.

The Electric.Candle Cove.A subscriber at Bryan, O., sends the

following dialogue that he overheard in the street:

“ Howdy do, howdy do?”“ Oh, fair to middlin’ ; folks all well,

but I have got a touch of rheumatiz.” “ Oh, you can get rid of that; I had

it so ban-1 couldn't raise my hand to take a chaw terbacce’r, but it’s gone now.”

“ What did you take for it?”“ Waal, when they put up them

’lectric lights, I got one of their can­dles they had di’bpped and carry it in my pocket. You know ’leetricity is good for medicine. Waal, there is "’nough ’leetricity left in the candle when they-put them out Will soak inter you, and that knocks it out every time,. Jest try it.”

“ I will; where can 1 get one?”“ I’ve got a couple; take one,”“ Much obliged; I ’ll give it o

chance.”—Electrical World.S Tlie Chinese.

What queer creatures these Chinese are! They look and act as if they might be the inhabitants of some other planet, so totally different are they from-all the other mundane races.

Nevertheless, they have logical minds. Guy Min, a Chinaman, in a speech at San Francisco, expressed some surprise at what he considered the inconsistency of “ sending millions of dollars, to China to prepare her peo­ple for the kingdom of heaven, and re­fusing them a home in the United States.”

Yes, it does look a little queer, doesn’t it? There is a great deal of difference between the Chinese stories and those that appear in ournovels and magazines. There is very little love in the average Chinese novel. The hero is a fellow who made his money in America by washing clothes, while the heroine is a girl who wants revenge because the villain killed her cat.

Much has been written about the barbarity of the Chinese in bandaging the feet of the female babies, It seems now that there is reason in this appar­ently senseless cruelty. It is done to prevent them from spending half their time on shopping tom’s when they grow older. And yet the Chinese are called uncivilized.

The Chinese have queer ways of punishing frauds. For robbing a ped­dler the culprit is put in a mortar and fired against a stone wall. Whether this cured him of his propensities we have not yet learned; we should not Wonder; however, if it had.—Texas Siftings.

N o Kissing; in Japan*Young Japanese girls are as nature

made them, and very sweet they are, too, in their quaint dresses showing the plump chest and rounded arms. Pages could he written about their charms. What dear, dainty, little dolls they are! Such white teeth, rosy lips and coy smiles! W ho shall de­scribe them? and what next? A kiss, perhaps? Not over here. Oh, never! They never do. They don’t know how, actually don’t know how, and even peasant girls are closely guarded.

Fancy a young man in. cotton ki­mono, arid Wooden clogs stealing a chance to Walk with his best girl un­der the blooming cherry trees, ex­plaining the constellations and quot­ing sentimental poetry, telling her that he “ hung upon her eyelids,” that “ her voice was like a temple gong;” in fact, that lie loved but her alone, and then making her several formal bows at the door of her father’s straw thatched hut as they parted in the moonlight. Can any American lover stretch his imagination enough to be­lieve in a sweetheart not kissing those pretty lips, paint and all, by a sort of “natural selection?”

’Tis a.melancholy fact, but a Japan­ese has no such impulse. No lover courts his mistress with “ sweetest per­suasive kisses. ” No mother kisses her baby as she cuddles it against her bosom.—Cor. Home Queen,

The R eality o f X ife.To the reflecting mind there is noth­

ing. more extraordinary than to ob­serve with what obtuse, dull and com­monplace impressions most men pass through, this wonderful life. Life, which, to such a mind, means every­thing momentous, mysterious, pro­phetic,. monitory, to the many is out around of cares, of familiar .pursuits and formal actions. They look upon this world as a vast domicile, or an ex­tensive, pleasure ground; the objects are; .familiar; the implements are worn.; thevery skies are old; the earth is a pathway ~for those on earthly er­rands; the world is a working field, a warehouse, a market place—and this is life.

Butlife indeed—the intellectual life, struggling with its earthly load, with ant .eternity unimaginable behind it, with an eternity to be experienced be­fore it, with all its strange and mystic remembrances, now exploring its past yearsv as if they were periods before the flood,, and then, gathering them within a space as brief and unsubstan­tial as if they were the dream of a day—with all its dark and its bright visions of mortal fear and hope—life, such a life, is full of mysteries.—Or­ville Dewev.
