Gentleness the Great Power.

RALPH Wells describes in a recent
letter to the teachers of Grace Mission
how he met in the Alps huge shepherd
dog. 1t illustrates very pleasantly the
gentle way of doing things, and it will
apply just as well in our dwellings with
rough girls and boys. 1--WE had hardly
started, when a shepherd dos, seeing
one abroad at so early an hour, con-
Guided that something was wrong and
blocked the way, the only way, and a
very narrow one at that. Now it is
known that we are very fond of dogs,
but to see that Swiss dogs hair rise, and
those Swiss teeth shown, and to hear
the low, resolute growl that implies
nopassage here, lis toomuch FOR Yankee
pluck, even on the Fourth of July
Two ways suggested themselves out of
the difficulty. The first is a stone the
second a cracker. The latter is first
first tried. 'Doggie want cracker?'
Presto, change down goes the hair, III
go the teeth, wag goes the tail, and,
with a sweet smile on his face, doggie
goes off to eat his cracker. Try the
cracker first, teacher"

The Best Sewing Machine.

The best sewing machine for all purposes
made is, beyond question, the Remington.
1t will do greater variety of work. with less
noise and physical exertion, than any in the
market. 1t is so simple that child can man
age it, and so durable that we can see no
reason why one with ordinary care, should not
last a lifetime.
This point we desire to call especial attention
to. The Remington is made by the Rem
inston Arms Co., Of lion, n. Y, whose arms
are known the world over.
They have the entire confidence Of the
governments of the world for the reason that
they never turned out a poor weapon, nor,
indeed, any but the very best. Quality is what
they pride themselves upon, for it was their
capital at the beginning. The same rigid
honesty that they held to in the manufacture
Of arms, they have carried into their sewing
machine. They are made Of the best material
attainable and no labor or expen Sc is spared to
finish them in such a way as to make them do
n great deal more than is claimed for them.
The name :" Remington is a sufficient guar
antee to any one who knows the Company.
The Company desire Agents in every county
in the United States. We can say that the
machine, because of its excellence, is a good
one to handle, and of the Company that their
employees are certain of fair and liberal treat
ment. Write to Remington Arms Company,

ClOud.Bursts.

Within the last few years the break
ing of water spouts-if that is proper
name for the phenomenon-like that
which desolated a town in Nevada last
week. has been frequently noticed.
Nor is it confined to mountainous DIS
tricts. A few years ago water-spout,
or the bursting of cloud, caused very
serious damage near the bridge OF the
Chicago and Northwestern railway
across the Rock river, three miles west
of Dixon and a similar disaster also
befell the same road few miles east OF
Dixon. There is an abundance of evil
dence in most parts of the country that
thew have occurred in all its past his
tory. Especially is this true along the
line of the Pacific railway. Broad beds
of streams perfectly dry are common i'll
the Black hills and Rocky mountain
districts, which show plainly the action
| of terrible torrents not many years pre-
vious. Experienced railway men have
given it as their opinion that sufficient
allowance is not made iii the construc-
ton of our roads to let off the water in
such cases. A similar disaster occurred
in Southern Minnesota recently, where
very considerable damage was done, and
few years since the President of the
Michigan Southern railway and many
passengers came near losing their lives,
not far from Mishawaka, from the same
cause. Several persons in the next car
to them were drowned.
Some years earlier, portion of the
city of Denver, Col, was submerged in
the nighttime by n flood coming down
the valley of Cherry creek, of which
the inhabitants had no previous warn
ing. A cloud had burst on the side of
the mountain so far distant that no sign
of it's existence could be discerned, and
spilled it's contents into the upper val
ley of Cherry creek. This creek had
been surveyed and laid off in town lots
and built upon, constituting, indeed,
one of the most thickly settled parts of
Denver. The food struck the town
shortly after midnight, and in an in
slant of time swept off every vestige of
human habitation and handicraft in
the old bed of the creek and adjacent
thereto, destroying many lives and a
large amount of property, which was
hurled into the South Platte, which lat
ter stream was raised several feet in a
few minutes.
Probably nothing can be done to
ward off the calamities that often re-
suit from cloud-bursts or water
spouts, but they certainly are worthy
of careful study. Some rules may pos
sibly be drawn from the appearance of
the clouds, by which people whose
homes may be located in valleys
liable to inundation may be
warned in time to reach a
a place of safety. The phenomenon of
cloud burst consists of the sudden,
perhaps instantaneous, condensation OF
a vast quantity of warm moisture in
the atmosphere by coming in contact
with current of cold air. 1t is not
improbable that the awful disaster at
Pittsburgh on Sunday was identical
in its nature with the cloud-bursts of
Colorado, Arizona and Nevada. = CHI

All LOye.Making Awkward.

Love-that is, the romantic love which
exists between two lovers-is something
which no one ever has any sympathy
with in real life. A stolen kiss, If seen,
creates laugh squeeze Of the hand,
if detected, is great joke. ], myself,
who claim to be romantic, did grin mt a
shadow-picture cast upon the wall OF
the white garden-fence next door, by
unenvious gaslight, when saw the
shadow of the young lady with much
waterfall feed the shadow of the young
gentleman with no whiskers with sugar
pums and then kiss it; but the shadows
were very black, and took odd drinks in
their noses as they moved to and fro,
and that may have been the cause OF
my mirth. Mary Kyte Dattas.

A Mammoth Dispensary.

From TIE st. Louis Republican.I
"Among the notable physicians Of this
country, DIR. Il. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
stands deservedly high. He has obtained
professional eminence through strictly legiti-
mate means, and fully deserves the enviable
reputation which he enjoys. A thorough and
careful preparation for his calling and extern
sive reading, during long and unusually
large practice, have made him extraordinarily
successful in his private practice, and gained
the commentator even Of his professional
brethren. BY devoting his attention mainly
to certain specialties he has been rewarded in
q very great degree, and in these lines is rec
ognized as a leader Not few Of his prep
arations compounded for these special cases
have been adopted and are used in their pri-
yate practice by physicians throughout the
country and his pamphlets and larger works
upon these subjects have been welcomed as
valuable additions to medical literature, and
placed among the regular textbooks Of many
medical schools. Acknowledgment of tho
services which he has performed for medical
science has been made by presentations Of de-
grees from two Of the first medical institu-
tions of the land, and by the translation of
several Of his works into German, Spanish
and other foreign languages. The increasing
demand for his specifics some time since ne
cessitated the opening OF regular dispensary
for their preparation, aud from small begin
ming the business Of this establishment has
now grown to mammoth proportions. Thus
during the three months ending March 81,
1874, the sum expended for postage alone, not
to speak OF that paid on newspapers, amount
ed to S2,080.70. Over a hundred persons are
employed in the various departments, and a
corps Of able and skilled physicians are re-
tanned as an advisory board in difficult cases.

JUST TAKEN HIS BTrTERs. We heard
seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to brother
soaker that he had "iust had his bit
tiers, but he did not mind taking an
other nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word "bit-
ters" had grown to be a synonym for
gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied in
discriminatory Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic,
not of poisonous stimulant some
thing invigorating to the system, not
an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil,
producing present intoxication and ulti-
mate insanity, idiocy, or premature
death. Moreover, our idea of bitters was
totally irreconcilable with "gin cock
tails" rum punches" and "brandy
smashes, which, we are informed, are
sweetened with sugar, and rendered
doubly injurious with essences colored
by means of mineral poison. This was
bitter-sweet with vengeance. We
mentioned this problem to a friend.
