E.uervhodx,a Atr-Brake.

fYes, sab, said Uncle Zach, "I'se watched
it forty years an it's as I sez: De fust OF
May an Christmas day OF dc same year
alters comes on de same week day"
Further conversation proved Uncle Zach
a most incredulous person. CHANGING to
mention DR.. Carver's feat OF breaking glass
balls with rifle, he said:
81 heerd bout dat shootin' ana Rnowed
right off it wasn't squar'; dat was Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born"
''What was the trick"
"Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass
balls, an likewise onto de bullets;- SO when
de bullet fly outen de gun, it an de ball les
drawed togedder, which, in course, brokes
de g1ass-dat's de trick"
Later, Uncle Zach observed a rope running
along the side of the car.
s'Boss, what's dat line fur"
sTo apply the air-brake in case OF accl-
dent" Then we had further to explain how
the force OF the brake was obtained, to
which Uncle Zach responded:
stLook a here boss, you sholy don't 'spect
me to b'leeve dat foolishness? Whys de
biggest harricane whatever bloWed couldn't
stop dis train, runnin' forty mile a hour.
AM YOU think I gwine to b'leeve a little
pipe full of wind under de kyars can do it?
No, sah-ree!"
There are a great many Uncle zacns who
Judge everything simply by appearances.
The air-brake does not seem to be a very
powerful thing, but power and efficiency are
not necessarily equivalent to bigness and
pretense.

once upbraided by q distinguished relative

such enthusiastic terms remedy that
cured him OF bright's disease eight years
ago. He said: ''Sir, has the medical pro.
fession, with all its power and experience OF
thousands OF years, anything that can cure
this terrible disorder?'' No, no, that is
true; there is no mistake about it but that
Warmers safe cure is really a wonderfully
effective preparation. That remedy is an
"air-brake" that every man can apply, and
this fact explains whyit has saved SO many

A Maine farmer says of fences: "If |
had my way wouldn't have fence on
the farm. In the first place, there are
over 1900 farmers in Maine. Now,
their farms have in the aggregate over
100000 rods of fences, or
rising $4,000 miles. This is
outside ornamental fences, and does not
include some 1000 miles or more OF rail.
road ,an fencing. There are II, 900 rods of
highway fences. 100000 rods Of par
tition M fences, and some $4,000, 900 rods
of division fences. Estimating the cost
of of these these fences at 81 per rod, and that
would, I think, be fair estimate, and
the total cost OF fences in Maine is over
$40, 900, 900. This is nearly as mucn
worth. It is more than twice and 9
half the value of all our live stock. and
nearly as much as the entire capital OF
the State invested in manufactures.

William P. Page, of the University

high jumper. He stands five feet six

record of six feet and one.fourth inch.
He shoots himself over a crossbar
straight as an arrow from a bow, and
his .'takeoff'' is somewhere about nine
feet, and he lands on the opposite side
fully six feet away from the standards.

Ibelieye it is in bad taste in the States

Senator Vests Remarkable Dog.

who had just heard precocious crow

morning he watched intently while a
negro boy blackened my shoes. The
following morning he came to where /
was sitting with backing brush in his
mouth. You may not believe it, but
that dog got down on his launches, spit
on my shoes, took the brush in his teeth
and rubbed away like house on fire.
But must admit that he did not get up
much of polish. One Sunday, while
I was living at Sedalia, this dog fol-:
lowed me to church. I noticed that he
watched every movement Of the preach.
er. That afternoon I heard aterriLle
bowling Of dogs in my backyard. I
went out to see what was the matter.
My dog was in the woodshed, standing
on his hind legs in an old dry goods box.
He held down a torn almanac with one
fore paw and gesticulated wildly with
the other, while he swayed his head
and howled to an audience of four other
dogs, even more sadly that the preacher
Iheard that morning." The narrator
Of the crow story threw up tie

The Repeated Sermon.

At one time, when the writer was
pastor of the Symmetrical church, the
Rev. Heman Bangs was the presiding
elder. His appointment to preach was
for Easter Sunday. He came and
preached an admirable and appropriate
discourse on the resur. ection Of Christ.
At the close Mrs. Anna Knapp, wild
ow Of fourscore years and daughter Of
the Rev. Smith Arnold, one OF the
pioneers, came to the altar, and in the
hearing of the writer thus addressed
-''Uncle Heman." as the venerable
preacher was aAectionately called by
those who had known him long:
Brother Bangs, / enjoyed your ser
mon very much. / heard you preach
it forty years ago. liked it then.
heard you preach it again twenty three
years ago, and it was good then, and
to-day it was as good as ever Uncle
Heman, with that look which those
who saw it will never forges-of min
gled good humor and a quizzical spirit
replied: Well, Sister Knapp, has
there been any change in the facts
about the resurrection of our Lord in
the last forty years? If it was good the
first time you heard it, why should it
not be Just as good now?" Said the
old lady: We'll, Brother Bangs, we
shall soon be where you won't have to
make an argument to prove it, as you
did to-day" Neither their piety nor
their infrmity Of old age had dulled
their wits.

What the Governor of North Caro-

Providence Journal.
Gov. Jarvis of North Carolina, is
the sort of ex confederate WHOM north
ern people can appreciate, and whose
influence has made possible the genuine
reconstruction of the south. He was
accompanied to the state department to
receive his credentials as minister to
Brazil, by Senators Vance and Ransom.
When he was about to be sworn, the
clerk said, as usual, Hold up your
right hand governor!" To which Gov.
Jarvis replied, "No, no; can't do that,
for some of my northern friends, few
years ago, made that impossible. :"
Then turning to thetwo senator's Of his
state, he said, with much fervor, Gen
tlemen, this is the grandest and most
magnificent country on the face of the
earth. Twenty years ago We We're do
ing our best to destroy this government
but failed. Now, instead of expatriation
or any other punishment, you are sen
ators of the United States and l am go
ing abroad as an official representative
Of our country at foreign court. There

SUNRISE ON THE SEA.
WHEN cAsTANE.

Ct. Louis Magazine
High tide and sunrise on the sea,
Spring tide the days first dawn:
A day like this once came to me
In years forever gone.
The crimson streak that lieth low j.
Above the oceans breast,
shone on that sea of long ago; n
And memory may not rest. ga
s'Tis like the opening of book
Whose leaves were closed by hands
Long cold. And dear dead faces look !.
In mine from silent lands; ).
And in my heart awakes thrill ..
AS Of some great regret 7
So passion strong that my proud will
Must all its pride forget,
And hot tears fill my eyes until
My quivering face is wet,
High tide and sunrise on the sea,
Spring tide and days first dawn;
The rosy light was gloom to me
For all it rested on.
A dead hand clasped within my own
A dead face raised to mine,
And on that face already shone
A glory most divine;
And far away uprose moan
From oceans crimson line.
Sunrise, sunset, or ebb or flow ~
What matters it to me?
And what if days of long ago
Return upon the sea!
The waves that foam in crimson strife
Where sea and shore have met,
And all these things with memories rife
May come and 60, and yet,
They cannot bring the dead to life,
Nor hush one great regret

Postal Notes.

Beginning with the first of next month the rate of postage on letters and other first class matter will be two cents per ounce instead of two cents per halt ounce, as at present. This applies not only to mail for points in the United States, but also ID Canada. Some per sons have an idea thst if the rate is two cents per ounce it will follow that II will be but one cent per halt ounce. this Is a mistake, the lowest rate will be two cent. The rate on drop letters will be one cent per ounce.
 Postage on newspapers, etc, sent by publishers or newsdealers will be one cent per pound, a reduction of fit, per cent.
 The ten cent messenger delivery ot letters at post offices where the population IS over 1000 or over will not probably be in operation till the first of October.
 Postmaster Freeman has recommend ed the establishment of a postoffice al the Mammoth mill. on the San Pedro. with ;. G. Lewis as postmaster; also al Clinton Station, about If cen miles south of ArivHcs, with Mariano Aguirre as postmaster. both of which recommen- dations will undoubtedly be complied with.
 Fred R Kittle, the first Arizona post master commissioned under the new ad ministrati"n, has received his onmmis- siOn and entered upon the discharge of Gis duties at Florence.
