OUR FAITH,
The contests before us;

The contests before us;
The enemy's strong.
The conflicts a fierce one
The fight will be long;
But cOntcnding for right
The salvation for man;
We have faith in our God,
And conquer we can.
If in numbers we trust,
We may as well yield,
For the enemy's line
Extends DER the field:
But cOntending for right,
We hold the fort still;
We have faith in our God,
And conquer we will.
If we lean on ourselves
Trust in our own arm,
We shall find very soon
We've cause for alarm;
But cOntending for right,
In a cause that is Just,
We have faith in our God,
And conquer we must.

GIVE THE BABYA DRINK OF
f4s WATER. f@a

A city physician attributes large
part of the excessive mortality of chill
dren in hot weather to the failure of
nurses and mothers to give them wat
er, indeed more children are said to
die directly and Indirectly from depri-
vation of water than from any other
cause. Infants, he says. are always
too much wrapped up, and in any case
would prespire very freely. The water
lost by Precipitation must be supplied.
As DR.. Murdoch stated in his paper on
cholera intantum. "The child is
thirsty, not hungry; but not getting
the water, which it does want, it drinks
the milk, which it does not want"
The consequence is that the stomach
is overloaded with food which it can
not digest, and which soon ferments
and becomes source of severe irrita-
tion. Then follow vomiting, purging,
and cholera infantum.
To prevent this, the principal
scourge of infancy, the doctor says:
"Have water-without ice-always
accessible to the child; who will then
refuse sour milk and will eat only
when hungry. Water is the great in
dispensable- article for the preventive
treatment of children in hot weather.
1t is important enough to nursing chill
dren. but is life itself to those reared
on the bottle.n

THE HEART OF ASIA.

At a recent meeting of the Russian
Geographical Society, NJ. Severtzov
gave an account of the Pamir Noun
tains, which he had lately visited.
Many of the facts are novel. The
Pamir is not table land, and it has
no steppe region up to height of 49,
900 feet. Like the Tien-Shan and
Thibet, the Pamir has narrow valleys
along the rivers up to a height of H.
900 feet, and the mountains rise in
lofty ridges above the valleys in some
instances to an absolute height of 25,-
900 feet. The mountain ranges run in
the direction of the meridian, and sell
dom strike out at right angles. The
explorer discovered evidence that the
range of of the Inner Pamir has risen
600 feet in the course of the last II, 900
years, and that the process ofelevation
is still going on.

everything in good part, and everyone
was superlatively happy.
During all that long day and still
longer night, not a single case of drunk
enness did l see, and during that time

and would have seen il had there been
any. There was fun and frolic on every
side. But it was the overflow of exu-
berant spirits, and not the outgrowth
of too much wine and beer and liquor.
In no city in England, nor, | am afraid,
in America, could there be SO gigantic
a celebration, so much fun and hilarity,
with so little Drunkenness and so few
disturbances. Verify, the French, in

LONG SWIMS BY MEN AND
ANIMALS.

Referring to the wonderful feats of
swimming performed by Webb, the
opinion is expressed in Nature that
men and animals would sustain them
selves for long distances in water much
oftener were they not incapacitated by
terror or completely ignorant of their
real powers.
Some years since the second mate of
ship fell overheard while listing a
sail. 1t was blowing fresh, the time
| was night, and the place some miles
out In the stormy German Ocean. The
hardy fellow nevertheless managed to
gain the English coast Brock, with
a dozen other pilots, was plying for
fares by Yarmouth, and as the main
sheet was Delayed, sudden puff of
wind upset the boat, when presently
all perished except Brock himselfs who

evening to the next morning SWAN

hail a vessel at anchor in the offing.
Animals themselves are capable of
swimming immense distances, although
unable to rest by the way. A dog re-
Gently swar' thirty miles in America in
order to rejoin his master. A mule
and dog washed overheard during a
gale in the Bay of Biscay have been
known to make their way to shore. A
| dog swan ashore with letter in his
mouth at the Cape of Good Hope. The
crew of the ship to which the dog be-
longed all perished, which. they need
not have done had they only ventured
to tread water as the dog did. AS
certain ship was laboring heavily in
the trough of the sea it was found
needful, il order to tighten the vessel,
to throw some troop horses overheard
which had been taken in at Corunna.
The poor things, a staff surgeon said,
when they found themselves abandon
ed, faced round and swan for miles af-
ter the vessel. A man on the east
coast of Lincolnshire saved quite a
number of lives by swimming out on
horseback to vessels in distress. He
commonly rode an old gray mare, but
when the mare was not to hand he
took the first horse that offered.

The squad numbered thirty, inclu sive

are all in readiness to receive the Pres

about the Francklyn cottage during

PHILADELPHIA, September 6.-Gen-

it is true that the Presidents pulse fell

The President seemed cheerful and
when asked if he would like to travel
fast replied eyes, he rather liked it.n
Kenny says he seemed to be in very
good spirits and was not under the
effects Of any opiates. He was as
rational as could be and occasionally
chatted with the doctors Kenny
added he was surprised to see the num-
Der of people who turned out, particu-
larly in the country places to witness
the passage of the train. Even at
prominent stations where there crowds
of people, raised their hats with rever-
ence and all seemed affected by the
