OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

When Columbus discovered America on
the 10Th OF October, li02, he little dreamed
that Il would require nearly four hundred
years TO complete the cycle of his illustrious
mission. More than three centuries had to
pass bqiore the regions he first revealed to
civilization began to reassert their sway
over the great empire of the Southwest.
The Dutch, the English and the swedes

now the Eastern Stblcs, but until
Jefferson secured Louisiana from
France, in 1901, the wavc of Spanish dis.

So Say We All.

The President of the Limekiln Club
stated that he was in receipt of COM
munication from st Louis, asking the
club how it stood on the Bob Ingersol
question of God or no God. He would
ask Sir Isaac Walpole to answer it for
himelf and all his fellow members. He
was willing to abide by what the good
old man said, and he believed all others
would be.
The white-headed old man, old and
wrinkled, and burdened with the weight
of seventy years, arose in his seat, look
ed around him and quietly began:
" If dar am no God, den dar am no
fuchurs When we close our eyes in
death, de soul dies wild us, an we moul-
der to dust de same as de brutes. 1t has
been long journey to me. In my heart
am de mem'ry of wife an chil'en. My
days have been cloudy an full of woe.
My nights have been dark an full of sor-
row. have been robbed, cheated ,abus-
ed an made to feel my wretchedness;
hut neber, not even in de darkest hour
did | doubt dar was God, nor did 1
lose faith In Him. Take away dat faith
to. .night-make me belieb dat dar am no
heaben-tell me dat won't meet my

it was full minute before anyone mov-

SUNDAY READING.
How to be Happy.

Married people would be happier If
home trials were never told to neigh
bors.
If they kissed and made up after every
quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try to be a support and
comfort to the other.
II each remembered the other was
human being, not an angel
If women were as kind to their hus-
bands as they were to their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in
during the high tide of summer work.
If both parties remembered that they
married for worse as well as for better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweet
hearts.
If there were fewer silk and velvet
house dresses.
If there were fewer please darlings,"
in public, and more common manners
in private.
If wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they go along and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines.
Recreation is necessary to keep the
heart in its place, and to get along with
out it is big mistake.
If men would remember that woman
can't be always smiling who has to cook
the dinner, answer the door-bell half a
dozen times, and get rid of a neighbor
who has dropped in, tend to sickly ba-
by, tie up the finger of two-year-old,
gather up the play-things of four-year-
old, tie up the head of a ix-year-old on
skates, and get an eight-year-old ready
for school, to say nothing of sweeping,
cleaning, etc. A woman with all this
to contend with may claim it as priv
elege to look and feel little tired some
times, and word of sympathy would
not be too much to expect from the man
who during the honeymoon wouldn't
let her carry as much as sun-shade.

disordered Imagination construed the
noise into the tread of a bear, she would
have made desperate effort to cry out,
aud while she is thus perplexed with
doubts and fears, she hears the voice of
Tommy Deane, who, wearied and exclt-
ed, Is seated on stump at the very
mouth of the pit, and In very dolorous
and romantic tone, indulges in the fol-
lowing soliloquy, every word of which
Deb hears
Shall ever see her again, my lost
one my Deb 7"
eyes, Tom, If you can invent some
kind of "a hoisting apparatus that will
support the weight of young lady who
weighs one hundred and twenty, you
can again gaze upon your Deb" gasps
out the young lady from the pit, her
doubts and fears all dispelled, and her
love of fun restored at once.
Why-why-De where are you ?"
cries Tom.
"Twenty feet under ground, in twelve
inches of water, the hungriest victim of
Fate ever heard of. Get me out as quick
as you can, and I'll promise you faith
fully that won't make you marry me,
as the rescued heroines always do in
novels"
But all of Toms inventive genius can
not devise method of getting her out
of the pit until her returns to the house
for assistance, and ropes or ladders.
Therefore he leaves Deb his lantern,
which he lowers with string, and re-
turns to the house, meeting party of
searchers on the road and together they
| return and rescue Deb from the pit;
| and she is escorted home in triumph, on
hastily constructed platform, borne
on the shoulders of half dozen young
galants, which honor, Deb declared,
compensated her for all her distress in
the pit.
AS it was nearly midnight before Deb
was found, there could be no party that
night, but Deb promised them that if
they would only return the following
evening she would surely be there to
welcome them, and she was, and jolly
time they had; but Deb kept poor
Tommy Deane in an annoying state OF
blushing all the evening by eyeing him
in an extremely comical manner, and
occasionally asking him in SLY whisper
if he had found his ''lost one" yet but
tickle girl that she was, she broke her
promise given to Tommy, for she mar
ried that young man just five years
afterward, and we are therefore enabled
to bring our story to close in really
novel and romantic style.

a. Mrs. Adam Grubb, 231 Walnut
street, has been great sufferer for
number of years from extreme pain in
the feet, something like rheumatism
She was also very much troubled with
corns and bunions. 1t was with great
difficulty that she could walk, and some
times when she would visit her husbands
shoe store or any of her children, she
could not get home again without assist
ance, and often when she was walking
along the streets she would be seized
with such acute pain that she was COM
PEELED to stop in at the neighbors on the
way until she got better. Some two
weeks ago she heard of the wonderful
cures st. Jacobs Oil was effecting and
she at once commenced to use 1t and ex-
perienced great relief Immediately. The
pains.have left her feet and ankles and
the inflammation has left the corns and
bunions. She is now tripping up to her
husbands shoe store and out to see her
children without experiencing any pain.

Worth Remembering.

Now that good times are again upon
US, before indulging in extrava agant
show, it is worth rememb bering that no
one can enjoy the pleasantest surroun-
dings if in bad health. There are hun
dreds of miserable people going about
to-day with disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys, or a dry, hacking cough,
and one foot in the grave, when a so ct.
bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic would
do them more good than all the expen-
sive doctors and quack medicines they
have ever tried. 1t always makes the
blood pure and rich, and will build you
up and give you good health at little
cost. Read of it in another column. SAT

Swiftness of Birds on the Wing.

DROFESSOR NEWTON considered
that were sea fowls satellites revolv-
ing around the earth, their arrival could
hardly be more surely calculated by an
astronomer. Foul weather or fair, hot
or cold, the puffins repair to some of
their stations punctually on given
day, as if their movements were regu-
lated by clock-work. The swiftness of
flight which characterizes most birds
enables them to cover q vast distance in
a brief space of time. The common
black swift can fly 276 miles an hour, a
speed which, if it could be maintained
for less than half day, would carry the
bird from its winter to its summer quar-
ters. The large purple swift of America
is capable of even greater feats on the
wing. The chimney swallow-ninety
miles per hour being about the limit of
its power; but the passenger pigeon of
the United States can accomplish a
journey of 1000 miles between sunrise
and sunset. 1t is also true, as the in.
genious Herr Palmen has attempted to
show, that migrants during long flights
may be directed by an experience partly
inherited and partly acquired by the
individual bird. They often follow the
coast line of the Continent, and invaria-
bly, take on their passage over the Medi-
terranean one of the three routes. But
this they will not explain, how they
pilot themselves across broad oceans !;
and is invalidated by the fact, familiar
to every ornithologist, that the old and
young birds do not journey in company
Invariably the young broods travel
together, then come, after another inter-
val, the parents, and finally the rear is
brought up by the weakly, infirm,
moulting and broken-winged. This is
the rule in autumn. The return jour
ney is accomplished in the reversed
order. The distance travelled seems,
moreover, to have no relation to the
traveller. The Swedish blue throat per-
forms its maternal functions among the
Laps, and enjoys its winter holidays
among the negroes of the Soudon, while
the tiny, ruby-throated hummingbird
proceeds annually from Mexico to New
foundland and back again, though one
would imagine that so delicate a little
fairy would be more at home among the
cacti and agaves of the Tierre Caliente
than among the frs and fogs of the
north.
