THE STEvEDoREs.-It appears tthat the
trouble with the stevedores is between the cap
tain and the shippers and the stevedores only
wish to know which of the two parties have
the say in regard to loading vessels. A case
recently occurred in which both shippers and
captain engaged a stevedore and crew to load
vessel, and both crews maintained they had the
right to load the vessel. They wish it settled
whether the master of the vessel who pays the
bills or the merchant who ships the goods is
the one having power to engage them.

The Doctrine OF Transmission.

A Canadian boy, in the quiet town of
St. Catharines, had been punished by
his father with solitary confinement for
lying. He showed on his release that
he had been employing his time in the
illogical reflections, instead of using it
for Standardization. He asked his
father:
"Pa, did you ever tell lies when you
were little 2"
The father, perhaps conscience smit-
ten, endeavored to evade the question.
But the child persisted.
"Did you tell lies when you were lit

TFrom the Tole,io Blstie.l

From the Toledo BlSde.1
Ne publish on our eighth page lengthy
article describing the system of the noted
specialist, DIR. l.. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
in which he sets forth with considerable force
and clearness his reasons for devoting his
whole time and attention to a single depart
ment Of medicine-the treatment of lingering
chronic diseases. The Same article also takes
up the subjects of diagnosis, methods of con-
sultation and treatment, etc, AID will be found
to contain many valuable hints to tho invalid.
pr. Pierce is the author of a work which has
already attained a large circulation The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser
containing some nine hundred numerously-
illustrated pages and devoted to medicine In
all its branches, work we'll calculated for the
guidance and Instruction OF the people ut
large, and which may be had for $3.50 (post-
paid) by addressing the author. DR.. Pierce
has now been before the general public long
enough to enable the formation Of careful
estimate of the efficiency Of his treatment and
his medicines, and the verdict, we are glad 10
know, has been universally favorable to both.

A THREAD OF sONG.

II was only broken chord oi cong
That sang itself, the Iivclong DAY,
Over and over In my heart,
And always In the same sweet way
Always beginning low and soft, -
Live a tenderly spoken Love, good-hightF
And ending In glad and joyous strains,
Like a morning psalm when the world ssright
And the hours Of the day were woven In
BY the mystic thread OF the haunting song,
That somewhere out OF the vani,hed past,
Sent forth Its witchery clear and strong;
Something akin to the song OF birds
When the sky Is flushed with the coming dawn'
Yet sad AZ the thoughtful hour which comes
When the last red light OF the day Is gone.
Beautiful echo that drifted hack
From the far-off shore Of the long ago.,
Over the wide and rugged waste,
Where never the winds Of gladness blow,
Bringing tho odor Of wildwood howersi
The laughing song Of the mountain rili
The green, glad fields where the cowslips grow
And the glcam Of waters calm and STILL
sitting alore in the twilight still,
whsue mantle covers the earth with gray,
NY heart IL touched and my eyes grow din,
As the glow Of the sunset tsdcs away;
And feal ths pnnnancRo of nnrecn guests, =
That out Of the shadowy regions throng,
And I know they have crossed from the farthc
shore
On the slender thread Of the sweet old song.
