The following article taken from the
Country Gentleman. so thrillingly sets
forth the fearful results Of using tobac-
co, that the most hardened sinner must
repent and hasten to be wise after read
ing it: =" First experiment, a hog was
shut up III IA tight pen, and his only feed
was one-half pound OF tobacco a day. In
one week he had lost four pounds.
Second, mule was placed in a stall
without food. Two plugs of tobacco
were placed before her, twice day. She
grew gradually restive. On the third
day one plug was forced down her
when she tore the experimentor's ear
with her teeth, showing the bad effect
tobacco had on ones disposition. ItSwas
then found necessary to muzzle her so
that she could not open her mouth At
the end OF eight days she died. Third,
dog was nailed up i'll a tobacco hogs
head. At the end OF four DAYS he was
taken out much reduced. Fourth, an
other dog was enclosed in tobacco Jar

years that dog Went mad! Truly these

me that he must have her sure now. But
why multiply examples? You know

as much as tobacco. Does he eat mince

Does he indulge In ice cream or oysters ?
Let him beware, lest, when he least ex-

En- gland

England
The result of the elections SO far held
in England must be very discouraging
to Gladstone. The Conservatives have
not only held their own in the counties
and those boroughs that generally re-
turned Conservative members, bat have
also carried several boroughs hitherto
by Liberals. That fact
seems inexplicable. when it is consider
ed that the boroughs received the bene-
fit of the extention of the franchise and
that this and the ballot were the favorite
measures of the Liberal party. 1t the
elections 60 on as they have begun there
is fair prospect Of a Conservative eAd-
supported by Conserya-
tive Parliament next month What
would follow such result is not easy TO
anticipate. One thing is almost certain.
The wheels of progross might be check
ed, but they cannot be reversed. The
Conservatives, when they came into
power at intervals during the past score
or more of years; made no attempt to
undo what their antagonists had done
in the way of progress. They simply
put dowaE brakes, when they could do
so, hut in some cases, as in the estab-
lishment of Household Suffrage in 1867
and 1858 under the Disraeii Administra-
ton, the impetus of the times carried
them farther forward than the Liberals
themselves. Undera new Disraeli Adj
ministration there would probably be
no disestablishment of the English
Church, at least as a Government meas
ure; nor would Household Suffrage be
carried into the counties, because Dis
raeli has already denounced such pro-
ject; but there would be no attempt to
re-establish the Irish Church, to con-
tract suffrage, or to repeal the Ballot
Act. 1t Is the genius of the English
Constitution that what is done in the
Fswayof progress ia done. and there are
rarely any steps taken backward.
A deputation of workingmen headed
by Joseph Arch waited upon Mr.. Glad
stone Wednesday to urge upon the Gov

elective franchise to agricultural labor
ers. The Premier expressed himself as
in favor of this ex tension of the fran
chise, but objected to its immediate con-
siaeration on account of the magnitude
and weightiness of the measure and the
| brief duration Of Parliament. There is
| no doubt that a measure of this kind
would. in the present Parliament, fail
of success. Mr.. Giadstohe's strength is
not great enough to venture any meas.

Somebody Loves me.

Two or three years ago the Superin-
tendent of the Little Wanderers Home
in Boston received one morn
ing a request from the Judge that he
would come up to the courtroom. He
complied directly, and found there a
group of seven little girls, ragged, dirty,
and forlorn, beyond even what he was
accustomed to see. The Judge pointed
to them: sMr. T, can you take any
of these?' -'7
! Certainly, I'll take them all.' was
the prompt reply.
sAli! What in the world can you do
with them all p -te
sI'll make women of them.'
The judge singled out one, even worse
in appearance than the rest, and asked
again: sWhat can you do with this
one?'
sI'il make a woman of her. Mr.. T
repeated, firmly and. hopefully. He
took them all home. They were washed
and dressed, and provided with good
supper and beds. The next morning
they went into the schoolroom with
the rest of the children. Mary was the
name of the little girl whose chance for
better things the Judge thought was
small.
, During the forenoon the teacher said

an hour to get single smile and failed
Mr.. T. said afterWard himself that her
face was the saddest he had ever seen,
sorrowfnl beyond expression; yet she
was very little girl-only seven or
eight years old.
After school he called her into his
Office, and said, pleasantly, MARY, I've
lost my little pet. used to have little
girl here that would wait on me and
sit. on my knee, alid loved her. very
much. A kind lady and gentleman
adopted her, and she went to live with
them. / miss her and should like you
to take her place and be my little pet ;
will you?'
A gleam of light fitted over the poor
child's face, as she began to understand
him. He gave her ten cents, aud told
her that she might go to a store near by,
and get some candy. While she was
gone he took two Or three newspapers,
tore them In pieces, aud scattered them
about the room. When she returned,
in few minutes, he said to her: Ma
ry, will you clean up my office for me ?
Pick up these papers, and make it look
real nice.' 'aaH s.
She went to work with will. A lit
tie p,ore of this sort of management
treating her just like a kind father
would--wrought the desired change.
She went into the school-room after
dinner with so changed a look aud bear
ing that the teacher was astonished.
The chiid's face was absolutely radiant
and half fearful of some mental wander
ing, she went up to her aud said {:
MARY, what ia il? What makes you
look go happy?!'
oh! 1--WE got somebody TO love me 2
the child answered earnestly, as IL il
were heaven come down on earth.
That was all the secret. For want OF
love that little ones life had been &C
cold and desolate that she had lost child

could not vt hsst believe IN the reality o.

DEATH OFA GREAT AFRICAN EX-
emo" PLORER.

LONDON, August 1.-The Minister has
reported Chas, T. Beke, the African eX-
plorer, dead l,y.,gu t.L
Mr.. Beke was born in London in 1900.
In 1894, he published "Origines Bibhcn;
or, Researches in Primeyal History"
one Of the first attempts to reconstruct
history on the principles Of the young
Science of geology. Beke's historical
and geographical studies Of the east led
him to consider the great importance Of
Abyssinia, for commercial and other in
tercourse with Central Africa, and he
accordingly proceeded to Shoa, in s,
Abyssinia, which country he reached in
the beginning of 1851. Thence he went
alone into the interior where he explored
Godiam and the countries lying to the
west and south, previously almost en-
tirely unknown to the world. The result
of these researches was published in
"a Statement of Facts, ETC., in I845.
On his return to Europe there appeared
successively from his pen, IAN Essay on
the Nile and its Tributaries" in I847 !;
"On the Sources of the Nile in the Noun
tains Of the Moon" in IS47; On the
Sources of the Nile, IS4o, and Memo

Among his other works are ION the Geo
graphical Distribution Of Languages in
Abyssinia," published at Edinburgh in
IS4o, and THE Sources Of the Nile,
with the History Of Nilotic Discovery
published in London in 1860. DIR. Beke
left England in November, 1865, on a
fruitless mission to obtain the release OF
his fellow countrymen in Abyssinia, and
published on his return work entitled
