Christian a woman of great energy and
of mild, yet firm disposition She evil
IDENTIFY exerted marked influence upon
her children. He often spoke of her with
reverence and affection and, doubtless, to
her more than to any one else he owed the
cultivation of those sterling qualities of
mind and heart that fitted him for that
successful business career which now is
brought to close. In his very youth he
imbibed profound reverence for the
Bible, the Church of Christ, the Christian
Sabbath and the means of grace. He was
trained to religious habits and grew up
nnder their control. On Christmas day,
1884, he made public profession of his
faith in Christ and was received to the
communion of this Church.
In the very outset of his Christian life
he showed that he did not intend to be an
idler, but worker in the church and was
ready to do his part, whatever that might
be- The members of this church recog-
nizing his peculiar fitness for the position,
chose him to the responsible Office of
ruling elder, and he in company with the
friend of his early manhood, John II. An
derson, was set apart to this Office in
September 18th, 1858.
As ruling elder he was wise and judi
cious, ever studying the things which
make for peace, and having the best in
terests of the church at heart. He fire.

He Kissed Her ON the Ear.

pretty girl presented herself the other day
at a clinic In one ofthe hospitals OF Vienna,
and asked to be examined, explaining that
she had suddenly become deaf In one ear,
and none of her friends could account for the
unexpected afilcton. Professor Grubber
kindly replied that he would see what he
could do, and accordingly began to question
her as to the circumstances Immediately at
tending the appearance OF her Deafness After
much hesitation and with many bushes, or
rather one prolonged blush, tho girl at last
confessed that when her lover returned after a
long absence he took her in his arms, and,
pressing his mouth TO her ear, conferred upon
that organ most intense and vigorous kiss.
AT that instant she felt a sharp pain, and had
been deaf ever since. The professor made an
examination, and found that the drum of tho
ear had actually been ruptured, and there Is
no reason to doubt that the kiss did 1t. The
only consolation suggested after recording
this painful accident is that It need never be
repeated, II ardent lovers Will only remember
that a kind Providence has provided u feature
far more kissable than the ear, and one which
no amount Of osculatory demonstration has
ever been known to injure.

a Touching Incident

In a pottery factory at Cincinnati
there is a workman who had one small
invalid child at home. lie wrought at
his trade with exemplary fidelity, being
always in the shop with the opening Of
the day. He managed, however, to
bear each evening to the bedside of his
"wee lad" as he called him, flower, a
bit of ribbon, or a fragment Of crimson
glass-indeed, anything that would lie
out on the white counterpane and give
a color to the room. He was a quiet,
unsentime' tai man, but never went
home at night without something that
would make the wan face light up with
JOY at his return. lie never said to a
living soul that he lov"i 1T boy so
much. Still he went patio>tly lov-
ing him. And by a. inc ioved
that whole shop into p, vely II but

workmcm made curious little jars and
cups upon their wheels, and painted
diminutive pictures down their sides
before they stuck them in the corners
of the kiln at burning time. One

apron, and another engravings in a rude
scrap book. Not one of them whis-

inevitable shadow was drawing nearer.
Every day now some one did a piece of
work for him and put it on the sanded

Thro' Blazing Woods.

Through Idaho and down the mighty
Columbia is journey worth pilgrimage
around the world. We have seen its Won
ders, but ran q gauntlet of fire at it's portal,
where, in an hour, natures labor OF q
hundred years was being swallowed up in
smoke and flames. Yesterday the air was
blue with smoke. The mountains looked
dim or drew tholr Jagged peaks clean out
OF sight. For day or two 1t had been
hazy toward the west, and we had heard
stores Of the forest fires. To. day, how
ever, the smoke grew thicker and rolled
upon the westerly winds in dense clouds.
We had glimpse of the Inferno. We
had left Montana to cross Idaho, when
about o'clock the train came to stop
without moments warning IN the midst
of wilderness. We hastencd to the
platform and looked forward. There was
spread out panorama such as seldom
grcets the eye OF man. The forest was
one mass of seetbing flame. The engine
painted time or two, and then, gathering
courage, crcpt nearer, A few hundred
yards, and it again came to standstill.
1t was Impossible TO pass. The heat made
the paint On the cars crack. The glass of
the windows grew feverlsh under the
heated breath from the fire. There was,
amid all the glare, the roar of an approach
ing tornado, cracking and popping like a
giants whip. This was accompanied by a
kissing like the sound of frying salt, as the
green foliage of the living p,nes was con-
sumed with q white flash. This roaring

was, only set of the grand accompaniment

one height to the other. We hold our
breath and gaze al tho sky, overcast with
leadcn smoke. tinted here and there with a
rosy hue. The crashing of the fallen giants
is still for moment. The fire breaks
through the gloom Of the forest in ne
place. The flames go racing like demons
up tall trees and qu;ver in their top like
ruddy lantrcNs Tor 4 moment. =, The foliage
mclts away wlthfthe arst hot breath, Ind
then the crashing ard booming goes on
again. For the moment the rush and

the mountain side seem to be rolling on us
from their seats above our heads. We ask
the conductor when we can 60 on. He
says two hours. Long piles of wood
all about the track have baught fire. and
scores Of Cinnamon, with long poles in
their hands, are hurrylng up from the
nearest s.ation to save the track from RUIN.
Two hours pass. and still the inferpal pan

The conductor aud engineer are afraid to

would melt away like tinder IN furnace.
