The offer of a patent-medicine pro-
prietor to contribute $500 toward
the payment of the amount needed to
secure the pedestal of the Bartholdi
statue is the last touch of satire which
that lingering project has evoked All
that this enterprising medicine man
asks by way of recognition of his liber-
ality is the privilege of having a sin
Gle line containing the name of his
nostrum inscribed ON the base of the
pedestal, and kept there for year
after its completion. This advertising
scheme should stimulate some rich
man to profit by the suggestion of as
sociation his liberality with the COM
pleted pedestal No inscription would
be needed to perpetuate his fame, for
the members of the no-name series OF
philanthropists seldom fail to become
widely know,

SAINTS GOING HOME.

Our old saints are gathering home;
One by one they pass away;
Every year wc'cr losing some,
Yet we would not bid them stay.
Others who have reached four-scOrr
In lifc's valley calmly wait,
List'ning for the bOatman's oar"
Watching for the opening gate.
Forms are bowed, and steps are slow;
Eyes grow dim and heart grows faint
On the head a crown Of SHOW
Blessings on each aged saint.
Heavy cares are laid aside;
Labor falls to younger hands;
Memory, ut the cvcning-tidr,
Gathers up lifc's golden sands.
q Brings the distant past to yinw;
Calls the dear ones back again;
Every heart is kind and true,
Doubling ioys-diyiding pain
Quiet evening can not last.
Night soon draws its curtains gray,
And ere mOrning-watch is past,
Some loved saint has slipped away,
Sin and sorrow left behind;
JOY aud gladncss all before;
This each suiHtCd soul shall find
When they reach the bcttcrshorc
Oh, the glad reunions there!
oh, the songs that never cease!
Happy saints now gathering where
Naught can mar the perfect peace

Mrs. PIERCE, wife Of DR.. George
Pierce, of Colleton county, S. c., has
been a paralytic for years, unable to
walk without assistance or render her
self the slightest service. She has just
been cured by miracle, it is said. A
religious meeting was held in the
Methodist church at Cottageville,
where Mrs. Pierce lives. She was per
suaded to attend the church to try the
spirit or prayer cure, and during the
service she was powerfully affected and
was cured. The community is very
much excited about the cure, and q
prominent physician declares that
there is no explanation of it but that
Mrs. Pierce was healed by n miracle.

The Toronto Globe credits many
young Canadian women with the good
sense of no longer regarding domestic
service as menial, as women generally
seem to believe, and prefer the drudg-
cry of the kitchen to the drudgcry of
the factory. The result of this change
of feeling is that good domestic SER
wants can be obtained for moderate
wages, which, for plain cooks, range
from IS to $40 u month, and for house
maids from SO to SO. If more Ameri-
can girls could be made to see domes-
tic service in the same light these Can
adian girls do, they would be battcrfcd,
better cloth ID, better housed and hap
nier.
