Church Choir Conversation.

WHAT" said the church uuarte eft
soprano, as she consented to being
seen home by the tenor. 'sis the use If
the minister's getting up and preach
ing long sermon that nobody ever
listens to because they Just cone to
hear the music ?"
"Oh! | SUPPOSE" said the tenor
'lCs because some folks have got the
ldea IT'S the correct thing to do; and
would feel shocked, you know, and
allthat sort of thing; if there wasn't
any sermon. Then, besides, people
appreciate the singing all the more
"ileh IL comes after long sermon;
you Know"
Il guess you're right" she said, as
she took his arm, 'sour minister is
just perfect dear, but he's real hor-
rid about one thing. You can never
eeif how long he's going to preach.
Some Sundays, when he's had lots of
funerals or weddings or things during
the week, he'll preach about fifteen
minutes, and then, another time, he'll
preach about three hours. You know
one Sunday when l had a perfectly
lovely solo to sing right after the SER
mon. Well, I thought the minister
mad just got started, and 1 was look
ing over my music and frowning at
the horrid bass, who keeps forgetting
about its being Sunday, and being in
church, and the respect due to reIig-
ION, and all that, you know, when all
OF sudden the minister stopped.
Why it made me jump just like that
organist does when he pulls out all
the stops at once and nearly kills the
kIow boy, Why, it so upset me that
couldn't half sing, and it just COM
pletely spoiled my solo. l spoke TO
the minister about it afterward, and
he was just as nice as could be, and
said he would meyer do so any more.
and would always tell me before
hand how long he was going to

Power of a Good Mans Life.

The beauty of a holy life consti+
tutes the most eloquent and effective
persuasive to religion which one hui
man being can address to another.
We have many ways of doing good
to our felloW-creatures but none so
efficacious as leading virtuous, up
right and well-ordered life. There is
an energy of moral suasion in a good
mans life, passing the highest efforts
of the orators genius. The seen, but
silent beauty of holiness, speaks more
eloquence of God and duty, than the
tongues of men and angels. Let par
ents remember this. The best in
heritance parent can bequeath to a
child is virtuous example, a legacy
of hallowed remembrances and as.
sociations. The beauty of holiness
beaming through the life of a loved
relative or friend is more effectual to
strengthen such as do stand in vir-
tues ways, and raise up those that
are bowed down, than precepts, com!
mand, entreaty, or warning. Chris
tianity itself, 1 believe, owes by far
the greater part of its moral power,
not to the precepts or parallels of
Christ, but to his character. The
beauty of that holiness which is en-
shrined in the four biographies of the
Man of Nazareth has done more and
will do more to regenerate the world
and bring an everlasting righteous
ness, than all the other agencies put
together. 1t has done more to spread
his religion in the world than all that
has eyer been preached or written on
the evidence of Christianity.-CboJ.

Art6sian Wells.

Denver, which has long been so in.
adequately and extensively supplied
with water, is now rejoicing in fouI
artesian wells, which yield 100000
gallons of an excellent quality per
day; and we are told that she will
soon have several others in operation
sutficsent to supply the growing
watts of that young and fourishing
city.
The vast plains lying east and west
OF the Rocky Mountains will doubt
less ere long have a great demand for
similar wells, by means of which
millions of acres now waterless and
barren can be rendered arabic.
Whenever there is the scent of water.
these far Western lands are OF unri-
vailed fertility, resembling Peru,
which has been likened to "a conser-
yatory without glass.n
This method ofirrigating from sub
terranean reservoirs is of immense
moment to the dwellers amid these
sterile regions and the labor of bor-
ing to depth of only 375 feet-as at
Denver-seems light when compared
with the 2,2O0 feet of the saline wells
at Neusalzwerk, Prussia.
The reservoirs ofpetroleum springs
are OF similar nature to those of
artesian wells, and the process by
which tie oil is obtained, is precisely
the same.
Among the various methods of ir-
rigation which England is adopting
for her Eastern possessions will prob
ably be the introduction of these
wells into the desert-like portions of
India, where grim, gaunt famine has
so often marched with merciless, all
couquering tread,
For the past twenty years French
engineers have been actively engag-
ed in sinking great number of these
wells along the western border of the
Great Sahara, the province of Con-
stantine alone containing not less
than $50, while the work is progress
ing slowly, but surely toward the in
terror. Among the phenomena
brought to light by this boring, is the
finding of fishes and crabs of delicious
flavor at very great depth. Scien-
lists, as usual, are ready with many
sage observations, all, however, be-
ing mere theory.
The spirit of progress is abroad re-
claiming the waste places of the
earth, and literally verifying the
Scripture prophecy that "the desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose"
- We believe that the time is coming
when mans inventive genius and
wonderful power of achiement will
reduce all the deserts of the earth to-
smiling beauty and happy utility :;
when he will indeed be "monarch of
all he surveys"

To Repair Damages.

Dear lady, there is probably no use
telling you that fashionable life in a
great city is a rough one on your
beauty, Late hours, loss of sleep and
mental excitement will leave you by
and by shorn of those beautiful tresses
which drew lovers around you in
other years. Artificial substitutes can
never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Parker's Hair Balsam will

Its then that we gather in the grapes:

some wonderful cures. There is

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Senate wore

hope for the passage of the tariff bill.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, was the
only member of that august
body in his seat. Mr. Davis could
not resist the temptation for a joke His
usual form is, Senators will please be in
order" but to-day, after solemnly surveying
the empty benches, he turned with an ex-
preston of relief to the senator present, and
with severe dignity opened the days session
with, "the senator from South Carolina will
please be in order" At o'clock this even

ing: 'If the rest of tile Senate would be in

Special to the Indianapolis Journal,
WAsHlNGToS Jan Notwithstanding
the purpose OF the House. Republicans, as
expressed at their caucus. to take up the
tariff bill to-day it was found impossible 10
dispose of the naval bill owing 70 the many
and conflicting opinions touching the
matters of general legislation contained in 1t.
The real source of the mischief undoubt
edly is is found in the practice OF appending
general legislation to appropriation bills, as
was tersely expressed by Representative CAL
kins to-day: IF this thing continues, the
Speaker and the appropriations committee
will really constitute the House" The dis
cussion OF the naval bill bids fair to drag on
for several days more, particularly as it has
turned upon the relative merits of the long
standing controversy between the line
and staff officers. An Indiana member has
some statistics showing the cost to the gov
ernment of educating each OF the line off
GERS OF the navy who passes through the six
years course at Annapolis. The result was
somewhat astounding-$42,0 600 for each grad
nate who continues in the service after grad
uation The gentleman is strongly inclined
to take a hand in the discussion by Offering
an am endment to gradually do away with
the Naval Academy, taking the ground that
it would save above a half million of dol
lars annually to the taxpayers. If the gov
ernment would offer sufficient inducement
to young men to enlist and re-
ceive nautical instruction from the vet
Grams, who could, in a short time,
impart to the juniors all the knowledge In
discipline, seananship and cunning which
they possess, and gradually relieve the SER
vice of the constantly cultivated prejudice
existing among the deck officers against
those not educated at the public expense
be they volunteers who responded to their
country's call in time of need, or who, as
men fully equipped by their own exertions
offer needed and efficient service to the
country at the present time in the staff
corps-the navy would get class who might
want to go to sea, instead of one enrolled be-
fore reaching the age when they know what
they do want.
