sooner than rain water, and when

Germ any's Strongest Man.

There was wrestling match in New
York recently between Prof. VIM.
Hnher, well-known scientific wrest-
Ter, and Carl Abs, champion wrestler
of Germany, who arrived a few days
ago. Abs stands six feet, weighs $50
pounds, and is 80 years old. Hoher is
an inch and half shorter, weighs 100
pounds, and is Is years old. Abs had
the reputation Of being the strongest
man in Germany. He had thrown the
best wrestlers, lifted 230 pounds with
one hand, and carried 800 pounds up
stairs to harness. The match was Gre
co Roman, the best two in three. Inside
of two minutes from the first grip Abs
lifted Hnfer in the air twice in sue
cession as though he was schoolboy.
In another minute Abs dropped his
man on the stage and rolled on him
and pressed his shoulders and hips to
the mattress, and the fall was awarded
to Abs. The second bout showed the
great superiority OF Abs, and in five
minutes he had his opponent flat on his
back, and was awarded the second fail
and match. It is said Abs is the most
powerful wrestler ever seen in America.
Plenty Of sportsmen stood ready to
back him for any amount against any
conner A challenge from the stage for

by Sorakichi, the Japanese wrestler.

a young lady at a party at Bebington
the other night gave the following ad-

use of big words: In promulgating your
esoteric cogitations, or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities, and philo-
sophical, psychological observations. be-
ware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let
your conversational communications
possess a rarified conciseness, compact
comprehensibleness, coalescent con-
sistenoy and concatenated cogency.
EscheW all conglomerations Of fatulent
garrulity and jejune babblements. Let
your extemporaneous descantings and
unprecedented expatiations have INTEL
Eligibility, psittaceous bacinity, ventrilo-
quail verbosity, and vaniloquent rapid

Advantages of Weeping.

A French physician gives s. long dis
sertation on the advantages Of groan-
ing and crying in general, especially
during surgical operations. He con-
tends that grooming and crying are two
grand operations b. which nature allays
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more speed
ily recover from accidents and opera
tons than those who suppose it un-
worthy in & man to betray such symp-
toms of cowardice as either to groan or
cry. He tells of a man who reduced
his pulse from 1926 to 80 in the course OF
few hours by giving full vent to his
emotions. II people are atall unhappy
about anything, let them go into their
rooms and comfort themselves with a
loud boo hoo, and they viii feel 100 Per
cent better afterward. In accordance
with the above, the crying of children
should not be too greatly discouraged.
What is natural is nearly always useful,
and nothing can be more natural than
the crying Of children when anything
occurs to give them either physical or
mental pain.

Thought Twas Only Preaching.

from The Buffalo commercial
: An esteemed friend, one of the cler-
gymen of Buffalo, writes as follows:
"In your issue Of Saturday last a
sweet Titles tory is perverted into Hard
on the Ministers. The occurrence was
not in Rochester at all, but in Brooklyn,
and the story is not as related. This is
the true rendering: Brother j. Hyatt
Smith, then pastor Of Lee Avenue Bap-
fist church formerly pastor Of Wash
ington Street Baptist church in this
city,, preached very impressive SER
mon, one Sabbath morning about twelve
years ago, on THE New Birth in which
he urged that it is an experience not to
be understood till actually possessed,
and then it is known just as we
know any fact of experience. Among
many striking illustrations, he related
in his own inimitable way an OCCUR
renee of his early life. He said:
when was child we were very poor
and lived in little log house. My
brother James, two years older than
myself, was blind. We had no marbles
or plavthings, such as other children
have; SO we got some onions and rolled
them upon the floor, while my mother
smiled and piled her needle. After u
little the spray from the bruised onions
began to irritate my blind brothers
sensitive eyes, and he instinctiyely
thrust his little fists, all covered with
onion juice, into them, and rubbed
them vigorously. The juice was fire
to his eyes, and in an agony of pain he
screamed leaping to his feet, and rush
ing to his mother with uplifted hands
he cried out, not with pain but with joy,
I see! I see!' The juice had cut the
films which had grown over his sight
and they had dropped upon his cheeks
with his tears, and his grief and blind
ness were both changed to JOY. So ii
was with this birth from above
con reaching homo his little two-year-
old Nanny crept into lbs arms, and,
turning her large dark eyes up to her
fathers face, inquired, with peculiarly
tender tones and deep solicitude: 'Parsz
was it a truly story you telled about
Uncle James?' why, yes, my darling.'
replied Brother Smith. With look
Of great relief she responded: %, !
thought twas only preaching and
quietly slipped from his lap and walked
away with an air of supreme composure.'
