EF you think Of buying Sewing ma
Z chine it will pay you to examine
the records of those now in use and
profil by experience. THE Wheeler O.
Wilson sta,lds alone as the only Light
Ru,,ning Machine, assing the Rotary
Hook, making u Lock Stitch, alike ON
both sides of the fabric sewed. All
shuttle machines waste power in draw
ing the shuttle back after the stitch is
formed, bringing double wearanf strain
upon both machine and operator, hence
while other machines rapidly wear out,
the Wheeler g. Wilson lasts a lifetime,
and proves an economical investment.
DO not believe all that is promised by
so-called "Cheap" machines, you should
require proof that, years of use have
tested their value. Money once thrown
away cannot be recovered.
Send for GU" circulars. Machines sold
on easy terms, or monthly payments
taken. Old machines put in order or
received in exchange.

In the Burnham case, before the Penn
sylvania Supreme Court, on Saturday,
Il was held that the word " ireemen in
the Constitution meant men only, and
not men and women, as Mrs, Burnham
claimed.
The passengers on a sleeping car on
waking up near Charleston, South Caro-
lima, last Monday morning. missed sew
eral gold watches, four hundred dollars
in money and quiet young man with
blonde whiskers.
A lady in Fairfield, Massachusetts,,
discovered that her daughter was about
to elope. She didn't make any fuss
about il, but the night on which the
elopement was to take place gave her
daughter an opiato in her tea, so that
the girl did not wake up till next morn
ing. Meanwhile the lover had grown
tired Of waiting, and left in disgust.
There is good opening fer carpenters
DESTROYS Of high wages in the Island Of
Tahiti, most Of the houses of which are
made Of wood, which, because Of the
scarcity OF carpenters, is hewn in and
imported from California, ready to be set
up. The island abounds in valuable
woods, for the utilization of which only
workmen are required; so il anybody
wishes to strike for more work, here is
his chance.
A correspondent, writing from the
scene Of the late Atlantic disaster, says;
" In one case woman was seen lying
on the sea.weed covered rock, with her
face upturned toward the blue sky, and
grasping in a mothers dead grasp a
infant, whose lips were
still fastened to the fountain whence it
had been drawing its supply of nourish-
ment. Some sudden wave had probably
swept the tive into eternity, while the
mother, careful of her child, was in the
act of quoting it"

The True YitaIity ofIifs.

The mere lapse Of years Is not life.
To eat and drink and sleep-to be ex-
posed to the darkness and the light, to
round in the mill Of habit, and turn
thought into an implement Of trade
this is not life. In all this but poor
fraction of the consciousness Of human
ity is awakened, and the sanctities
will slumber which will make 1t worth
while to be, knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give
vitality to the mechanism of existence,
The laugh of mirth that vibrates
through the heart; the tears that fresh.
en- the dry wastes within; the music
that brings childhood back; the prayer
that calls the future near; the doubt
that makes us mediate; the death that
starts US with mystery; the hardship
tnat forces us to struggle; the anxiety
that ends in truth-are the nourish,
ments of our natural being,
