The SenatorIaI ELECTION.

Senator Sherman-Should he be re-
elected? Ii he is the best man in the
State for the place who would accept
the office, he should be chosen-other-
wise not. The best man is entitled to
the place, and it is incumbent on the
legislature to choose the best man. Mr..
Sherman has good ability and remarka-
BILE industry. In his general course, as
Senator, he has done well. In few par
ticulars, 1 think, has he failed to meet
the expectations and wishes of his con-
stituents. They had no reason nor
right to expect from him the highest
order of statemanship; and in this he
has met their expectations. Only in
one instance has he in striking man
ner, acted in defiance OF the wishes OF
the State he was elected TO represent.
But that, regret to believe, manifested
disposition OF mind in high degree
dangerous to the public welfare.

No Mistake in Nature.

How many of all the people in the
world sit down bythemselves once in a
| lifetime and sincerely thank God that
any one of the breaths they breathe
doesn't kill them? And yet but for
the nice and unvarying proportions
with which the poisonous and the
wholesome gases mingle to form the at
mosphere, any breath might do this.
The plague that once came down on
London, by which multitudes fell in
a day, so that the living were not
enough to bury the dead was only the
result OF wrong mingling of the gases.
just as apOthecaries clerks sometimes
give us exalic acid for seidlitz powders.
Why shouldn't oxygen lose its vital
izing property just for one breath, and
that be the end of US? Or when we
eject the carbon from our lungs, itself a
deadly poison, why should it not remain
close at hand to be inhaled at the next
inspiration, especially when we repeat
the operation something over thirty
thousand times every day?
DR.. Holmes says that walking is con-
tinual falling, and that if the foot was
not put forward at just the right mo-
ment to receive the weight of the body
we should Just so often find ourselves
prone in the dust. And so every breath
we breathe, ii the provisions we're not
carefully applied, would become the
occasion OF our sinking into the valley
and shadow OF death.
1t is thus that these safeguards are
placed on every hand How could the
merchant trust his ship to the ocean, if
water might at any time lose its density?
With how much expectancy could the
farmer SOW his seed, if there were no
provision for it to grow up out OF the
ground instead OF into it? Ii he might
raise corn whenhe had p lanted beans or
potatoes might yield onions or ii all the
seed he sowed might yield nothing, with
what courage could he sow, or with
what confidence could we. expect any
thing to eat?
What put strength in the timber that
supports the roofs over our heads? And
after it isput there why should it remain
there, and thus we sit comfortably dav
after day, at our desk and in our homes,
without feeling continual uneasiness,
lest we find ourselves buried in rubbish?
Why is it that we can open our eyes me-
chanically every morning, and then
dress ourselves leisurely and thought
lessly, without feeling amazed that
everything is going on about as we lett
it last night? 1t is simply because these
provisions in nature are God laws. In
them He is continually manifesting His
goodness and His care. They are thus
expressions Of His Providence and in
them we witness miracles every day.

Value of Insurance stock.

When surprise is expressed that busi-
ness men should have had so much in
vested in single interest, it must be
remembered that for years and years
our fire insurance stocks have proved a
most remuneratiye investment. In a
recent law suit, it became necessary to
determine the present value OF $3.50 of
stock in the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, which were alleged to have
been misappropriated in 1851, twenty
years ago. A careful computation by
the value of the stock, with all the divi-
dends that have been paid to date at
compound interest, showed the enOrm-
ous accumulation of $4,000 And in
the smaller companies equally astonish-
ing results have been attained. The
Connecticut started in 1850 with a char
tered capita3 of 100000, only ten pen
cent paid up. Since then the whole
capital has been made up by stock div
idends and handsome cash dividends
paid on the shares, which were quoted
at $40 before the tire.-Hdrtford Cor

Remarkable Drive.

The New York Times gives to the Rev.
Herman Bisbee, pastor OF the Univer-
salist church in st. Paul, Mimi, credit
for having performed the hitherto un-
precedcnted feat of driving a single
horse, with carriage containing five
persons, a distance of fifteen hundred
miles in forty-fve days. Mr.. Bisbee
with his family was at Lake Memphra-
magog in the State of Vermont, and
wishing, as he says, to benefit his wife's
health, and see what he could see, con-
ceived the idea OF driving home to st.
Paul. Ordering carriage built spec
tally for the emergency, he loaded into
it his wife and three children, and,
Harvesting up his horse, ."a Morgan
mare witha sprinkling OF French blood
in her veins, he set out, and on the
forty-fifth day trotted into st. Paul, his
mare, carriage and all in as good condi-
ton as though, instead of journey oi
fifteen hundred miles, he had been
merely out for morning drive among
his parishioners. The reverend gentle,
man may be put down as having aided
the historic Sam Patch in demonstra
ting that ''some things can be done as
well as others.

for Java, 10000; for Ceylon, lO,OOO-a
total estimated deficit of 100000 tons
In our own country the consumption in
1921 was one pound four ounces ior each

eight and half pounds Our total con-

DIR. Prime tells this story in the OBJ
seyrer by way of illustrating the droll
things he is asked to do by persons OF
whom he has never heard:
A gentleman of fine personal appear
anCe called upon me and said he was n
perfect stranger in the city, and had
come from great distance to have a
cancer removed by Il celebrated surgeon
whose fame had reached the remote vii
lage OF his residence. And as he had
long read my letters and was sure that |
was disposed to do u Kindness, he had
called TO ask me to attend at the opera
ton and hold his head! Now ii there
is ANYTHING in the way OF kindness that
hate to do, it is to assist in surgical
operations. The sight of blood-letting
is disagreeable, and if it is all the same
to my friends, | would rather be out OF
the way when any of them are being
cut up. However, as this gentleman
had no other person in town to whom
he could apply, / readily assented to his
request and promised to be on hand at
any hour he should appoint with the
surgeon. Happily the surgeon assured
| him there was no occasion for any one
to be present, and Immediately per
formed the operation. You do not
know the trouble which that affair has
cost me. AS l saw the thing before il
was removed, and saw the good mar
afterward, was induced, in an hour o
weakness, to give certificate of the
cure 1t was published over the whole
land, and now men write to me fo
more information; they come to shov
me their sores, and they come back t.
me from the doctor and insist on ex
hibiting themselves to me in their reno
waited state, that they may be witnesse
to the skill of the surgeon who ha
cleaned them out. 1t is not pleasant
| wish they would go away withou
calling to say thank you
