Little Sisters of the Poor, aged 80 years
Capt. Sanderson came. to this place, then a
mere hamlet, in 1895, as master of the schoon-

town of Lake, where he located on a farm.
The house which he then built is
still standing, and is In the city

1915 for few thousand dollars are worth to
day $3.50, 600 He was a lover of fast horses
and became the pioneer owner of trottels in
this vicinity. At one time Capt. Sanderson
was the posseSsor of ample ns,ans but he
became reduced to poverty long before his
death. Years ago he deserted his family
and in company with people of low
repute travelled to California to begin

continuation of reyerses landed him in
poorhouse the Pacific slope. A year ago
news reached the city that he was a public
charge i'll Oregon. The pioneers accordingly
raised a purse, sent for him, and secured
home for him with the Little Sisters of the

"May 1 Kiss That Baby?"

To soldier far away from home, there
is no more touching sight than that of
baby in its mothers arms. While on
their way to Gettysburg, our troops were
marching by night through village,
over whose gateways hung lighted Ian
terms, while young girls shed tears as they
watched the brothers of other women
march on to possible death. A scene of
the march is thus described by the author
of "Bullet and Shell :" Stopping for a
moment at the gate of dwelling, no
ticed young mother leaning over it with
a chubby child in her arms. Above the
woman's head hung a couple of stable
lanterns, the light falling full upon her
face. The child was growing with de-
light at the strange pageant, as it watched
the armed host pass on. al beg your
pardon, ma'am," said Jim Manners, one
of my men, as he dropped the butt of his
musket on the ground, and peered visit
fully into the face of the mother and her
child. "I beg pardon, but may kiss
that baby of yours I've got one just
like him at home at least he was when
last saw him, two years ago." The
mother, sympathetic tear rolling down
her blooming cheek, silently held out the
child. Jim pressed his unshaven face to
its innocent, smiling lips for moment,
and then walked on, saying "God bless,
you, ma'am, for that !" Poor Jim Man
ners He never saw his boy again in
life. A bullet laid him low the next day,
as we made our first charge.

1t is also easily digested, If not damaged
in cooking Indeed, there is no more con-
centrated and nourishing food than eggs.
The albumen, oil, and saline matter are,
as in milk, in the right proportion for sus-
tanning animal life. Two or three boiled
eggs with the addition of slice or two of
toast, will make breakfast sufficient for
a man and good enough for q king. Ac-
cording to DR.. Edward Smith, in his trea-
tise on Food" an egg weighing an ounce
and three-quarters contains one hundred
and twenty grains of carbon and seventeen
and three-quarters grains of nitrogen, or
10 25 per cent of carbon and two per cent
of nitrogen. The value of one pound of
eggs, as food for sustaining the active
forces of the body, is to the value of one
pound of lean beef, as 1854 to 900. As
a flesh producer, one pound of eggs is
about equal to one pound of beef. A hen
may be considered to consume one bushel
of corn yearly, and to lay ten dozen or
fifteen pounds of eggs. That is to say
that three and one-tenth pounds of chem
istry corn will produce, when fed to
hen, five-sixths of pound of eggs, but
fve-sixths of pound of pork requires
about five pounds of corn for its produc-
ton. Taking into account the nutriment
in each, and the comparative prices of the
two on an average, the pork is about
three times as costly food as the eggs,
while it is certainly less healthful.

COntentment.

In spite of all the murmurings of dis.
satisfaction with their lot, there is GER
tain sense in which the majority of peo-
pie are content, and determined to be con-
tent with their own fortune, just because
it is their own. The most notorious
grumbler, if offered a chance to exchange
positions with another. could not possibly
select one with whom he would be willing
to exchange outright. Some cherished
idol of his own he would still cling to ; or
some trial of the other would seem too
hard for him to bear. Mrs. A. returning
from call on Mrs. B., says, Oh how
thankful am that have not those noisy
children of my neighbours. my home seems
so quiet and delightful while Mrs. B.
sits plying her for her lonely condition.
A house must be desolste without the lit
tie ones, she thinks. Each is honest in
her own opinion. Each scould have an OPP
posite opinion, if her lot had happened
otherwise. Mrs. G. says, Pm 80 glad my
daughter is dignified and quiet. should
get 30 tired of that romping girl of Mrs.
DIS, and Mrs. ID. says. do so enjoy my
bright, lively daughter. 1t would have
been such disappointment, if she were
dull and stupid like Mrs. C's. This is
one of the "queer phases of human ma.
ture. Sometimes it does seem as if nearly
all people were contented, and this is the
bright side of human nature. The other
and the shady side is where envy and COW
etousness come in and no one is con-
tented. -Selected.

ambassadors are shamefully scrimped.
This fact cannot but tell against the at
traction OF the pulpit among college grad
yates. To be sure, the very choicest spir-
it's will never be frightened out of the
ministry by the encouragement; but
our churches have no business to ask or
expect honest work while they refuse
honest compensation. Upo0till another
point, a very strong impression has been
" borne in upon my mind" as the Quakers
say. There is quite too much prominence
given in theological seminaries and col
leges, and in the religious reviews and
journals, to mere intellectual qualities in
the ministry. Many cody young man
who might do glorious service for
Christ, is discouraged from the pulpit

welcome to the office of dispensing it
every young man of good sense who loves
his Saviour, loves hard work, and yearns
to save souls from perdition. For one,
am clear sick of the geniuseS. Presby-
terianism surely has not such famine of

How the Titles Grow.

The wife of a Presbyterian minister
canvassed part of the parish to obtain
pledges from the people to give specified

replied eighteen dollars and twenty

am good for five day. Let me take
your memorandum" He pledged himself
for thirty five cents Sabbath. He took
the book to his wife, for she took in wash
ing and ironing and so had an income.
She cheerfully gave her name for five
cents day. Their daughter was seam

Our Reporters vacation Notes.

DURING his rambles this season, our Mr.. W.
has taken upon himself the task of satisfying
our numerous readers that whatever goods are
manufactured in our goodly city of Roger Will
liams, are of as high grade, and as fine in quail
ity as can be produced in any spot on the globe.
Especially is this so when the skilled Pharmacist
of many years experience resolves to extract
from the finest botanical specimens of the vege-
table world the most potent cure for some special
disease. In proof of his assertion that Provi-
dence, RI. affords the BEST he relates an interview
with an acquaintance, given him while sojourn-
ing temporarily at her residence. She says,
"About year suffered severely from Rbeuma-
tism in my limbs and Neuralgia in the head,
which 1 endured two or three months with no
much patience as possible, being under the treat
ment of an excellent doctor, and trying many
kinds of medicine without any marked effect.
At last medical friend advised me to try Hunts
Remedy, because he attributed my severe suffer-
ing to the bad condition of my kidneys which
were not performing their proper functions, and
/ commenced taking it,, and in few days the
neuralgia had departed, my headache had en-
tirely disappeared, the swelling in my limbs and
joints had gone, and have not had n touch of it
since More recently was troubled with impu-
rity of the blood, which showed itself in severe
eruptions on my face. Iagain resorted to Hunts
Remedy and after taking it a short time wau
completely cured of that complaint. Hunts
Remedy has proved very beneficial to me in at
tacks of sick headache, which it always allevi-
ates, and notice the improvement as soon as
take the Remedy This Remedy has strengthen
ing elements, for it has made feel much
stronger, and has been very beneficial to my gem
eral health. | most heartily recommend it to ali
sufferers like myself. Mrs. l.. G. TANNER, No.

Ruggles said that at the time he used to

sitting at his shop door, he saw Stuart
coming down the street, in earnest con-
versation with a gentleman. Stuart came
down into the shop followed by his friend,

The Minister Supply.

Dear old DR.. Skinner used to commence
his sagacious talk by saying, A" Brethren,
have an impression" On this much
agitated question of the falling-off of the
supply of ministers and missionaries,
have some pretty decided impressions I"
that must go for what they are worth.
One of them is that the production of
good preachers Qor neither God nor man
has need of any other sort) depends upon
the spiritual thermometer of the churches.
A cold, sluggish, world.eaten church
breeds but few good ministers. The same
cause that produces diminution of con-
versions, will produce a diminution of per-

seven or eight years, the population of our

that the average compensation paid to their
