The rate which the Indiana, Bloomington &
Western gives on excursionists to Philadelphia,
Pa, is said to be the lowest rate ever offered
openly by any road in this country. The dis
tance for the round trip is ], 8l6 miles, the round
trip fare, $Z35. is less than one-half cent a
mile. The l., B. & w. is used
from Indianapolis to Springfield, O., 139
miles; the N. Y, P. & o. from Springfield to
Salamanca: the western division of the Erie
from m to Hornellsville; the Erie road
proper from Hornelisville to Waverly; the Lee
high Valley from Waverly to Bethlehem: the
Philadelphia & Reading from Bethlehem
to Philadelphia. The l., B. & w.
haul the passengers in the round
trip, 275 miles. for 81. 80; the other roads
named prorating with them. Manager Henderson,
of the l., b. e. W., assigns as a reason fer max
ing these ruinously low rates that the Penn
sylvania lines refused to prorate with them on
their Philadelphia business from Columbus, o.,
insisting that they would take their excursionists
cut the l., b. & w. out Of all business which
they could secure from points on the eastern
division. Manager Henderson says this game
of freeze-out has been played on them by the
Pennsylvania people as long as they pro-
pose to stand it. Their eastern division
has been open four years and no
one has ever heard of their carrying a passenger
over their line to Columbus and then over the
Pennsylvania lines to New York in that time,

OF this method of doing business. and the rate
offered to Philadelphia is the initiatorv step to-

JACOBS WELL.

This is one of the spots in Palestine where
of all tradition cOncurs as to its identity.
This makes it venerable. And now We are
looking down in the we'll at which Joseph
so often watered the flock Of his father,
Jacob. The top has been partly arched
we would call the "curb of the WE'LL" The
dragoman gave me his strong arm, and let
me over this upper and outer rim, and
down a few feet ta point where 1 got
nearer view of the depth below. Explorers
who have measured it have found it over
hundred feet deep, but part of this has
been filled up by stones cast into it.
But how came Jacob to dig such well :?
is question often asked. He was close
to the Vale of Shechem, which is full Of
streams. What need of boring hundred
feet through the solid rock to find what
mile or two distant was running away in
exhaustless abundance? The answer is,
that neighbors are not always friends; that
the inhabitants of the towns and shepherds
of the plains had little to do with each 9th
er, and even might be in open feud. In
Christ's time "the Jews had no dealings
with Samaritans," and seventeen hundred
years before the progenitor of the Hebrew
race may have been to them q stranger and
an alien. The people of the Shechem might
be friendly to-day and enemies tomorrow; ;
ana thOugn tney mlgnt nave water moving
through their city they might at any mo-
ment shut it off from him. With all his
flocks and herds he could not be dependent
on such an uncertain supply. And so he
dug his well, land drank thereof himself,
and his children, and his CATTLE" The wo-
man of Samaria, who came here to draw
water had probably been out out on the
plain tending the flocks, and at the sixth
hour-noon-had no other spring to 60 to
but Jacobs well.
But the chief interest of this spot is, that
one greater than Jacob or Joseph has been
here. On this very ground, sitting where
we now sit, our Saviour sat and talked with
that woman of Samaria, revealing to her as
tonished eyes that in the worship of God
the place matters little; that "neither in
this mountain" looking up to Grezim which
rose above him, "nor yet at jerusalem"
shall men "worship the father" for that
"God is a Spirit, and they that worship
him must worship in spirit and in truth."-

river makes is not audible and the stream
seems to flow noiselessly along its dark and
rugged course. Turning from gazing into
canon, and looking about the country, the
deep rent is seen stretching far away to the
east and west, while in the distance are tall
trees and rocks, and bare, brown hills. One
question why the canon was made and how
whether worn by the river, or formed by

PHENOMENA OF GRAY HAIR.-Many
persons begin to show gray hairs while they
are yet in their twenties, and some while
in their teens. This does not by any means
argue premature decay of the constitu,,
ton. 1t is purely local phenomenon, and
may co-exist with unusual bodily vigor.
Many feeble persons and others who have
suffered extremely both mentally and phys
ically do not blanch hair until past mid
die life; while others, without assignable
cause, lose their capillary coloring matter
rapidly when about forty years of age.
Race has a marked influence. The trav-
eler, DIR. Orbigny, says that in many years
he spent in South America, he never saw
bald Indian, and scarcely ever saw a gray
haired one. The negroes turn more slowly
than the whites.

BIBLE CHRoNoLoGY.-One of the stand
ing difficulties of Bible chronology has been
cleared up in a very remarkable manner.
Amid the ruins of the Chaldean Record
Office, which formed part of the Temple, a
number of tablets were found. On exami-
nation it was discovered that they were
the contracts of mercantile firms extending
over generations. 1t was found that every
document was dated and bore the month,
year and day of each reigning sovereign.
By this strange order of destiny COM
plete chronology has been formulated of the
kings from Nebuchadnezzar to Darius Hy-
daspes, hitherto most perplexing period
to Bible critics.

Parker has calculated that the amount of

HELP ONE ANoTHER.-This little SEN
tence should be written on every heart
stamped on every memory. 1t should be
the golden rule of practice, not only in every
household, but throughout the world. By
helping one another we not only remove the
thorns from the pathway and anxiety from
the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in
our hearts, knowing we are doing a duty to
fellow creature. A helping hand or an
encouraging word is no less to us, yet it is
benefit to others. Who has needed the en-
couragement and aid of kind friend?
How soothing when perplexed with some
task that is both difficult and burdensome,
to feel a gentle hand on the shoulder, and
to hear kind voice whispering, "Do not
be discouraged; see your troubles, let me
help you." What strength is inspired,
hope created what sweet gratitude is felt
and the great difficulty dissolves as dew be-
fore the sun!
Yes, let US help one another, by endeav-
oring to strengthen and encourage the weak,
and lifting the burden and care from the
weary and oppressed, that life may glide
smoothly on, and the fount of bitterness
yield sweet waters; and He whose willing
hand is ever ready to aid us, will reward
our humble endeavors, and every good deed
will be "bread upon the waters, to return
after many days. if not to us at least to
those we love.

pa% Keeping the head perfectly clean, says
writer in the Salem (Mass.) Gazette, is a
great aid to health. A distinguished physi-
quarantine, said that person whose head
was thoroughly washed every day rarely
ever took contagious diseases, but when the
hair was allowed to become dirty and mat
ted it was hardly possible to escape infec-
tion. Many persons find speedy relief for
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly in weak soda water. We have
known cases almost wholly cured in ten
minutes by this simple remedy. A friend
finds it the greatest relief in case of "rose
cold," the cold symptoms entirely leaving
the eyes after one thorough washing of the
hair. The head should be thoroughly dried
afterward, and draughts of air should be
avoided for little while.

CAUHGT IN A CHIAlNEY.-The London
Standard tells this little love story: A re-
markable incident is reported from Arling-
ford, town in county Kilkenny. The oc-
cupants of house were alarmed by hearing
cries issuing from the chimney, and eventu-
ally a young man was extricated from it
when on the point of suffocation. He con-
fessd that having been forbidden to make
his addresses to the daughter of the house,
means of the chimney. Mounting to the
roof, he entered the chimney, but his pro-
gress was presently obstructed by some
pieces of timber, and a fall of SCOT almost
suffocated him. He cried out, and so aroused
the occupants Of the house.

A FAMILY SECRET.-Farmer Derben
kept large flock of good geese. His fences
were good, and his geese rarely escaped from
the pasture where they were confined. His
neighbor, Farmer Cole, also kept flock Of
geese; but his fences were not carefully re-
paired, and his geese often strayed into his
neighbor's grain fields. Last summer this
annoyance became intolerable to Farmer
Derben, and he resolved to make an end OF
it. Meeting Farmer Cole one day in the
road, he told him of the annoyance, and
added:
II now give you fair warning that if I
again find your geese trespassing on my
land I will kill them."
A few days after, as Farmer Derben was
sitting at dinner, he chanced to look out the
window, and there on his very lawn, he
beheld flock of geese enjoying themselves.
Not waiting to get his hat, he seized his
cane, and rushing into the midst of the
flock, he laid about him with such vigor
that several geese were killed and several
more wounded, when his little daughter,
bounding up to her irate parents side,
screamed in his ear:
"Pa, these are our geese" !"

A HUMILIATING PUNIsHMENT.-At the
commencement of the campaign of 1864
Gen. Meade hesitated at one time about
advancing, but Gen. Grant positively Or
dered him to move forward. This was al
luded to in letter sent to Philadelphia
newspaper by Edward Cropsey, a native
of Cincinnati, who had been reputably con-
nected with several leading newspapers.
He said in his article: "History will record,
but newspapers cannot, that on one event
full night during the present compaign,
Grants presence saved the army and the
nation too not that Gen. Meade was on the
point of committing a great blunder un-
Willingly, but his devotion to his country
made him loathe to risk her last army on
what he deemed a chance. Grant assumed
the responsibility, and we are still on to
Richmond"
When the newspaper containing this par
agraph reached the army of the Potomac,
Gen. Meade issued an order that Mr.. Crop
sey be arrested, paraded through the lines
of the army with placard marked "Libel-
er Of the Press" and then be put without
the lines and not be permitted to return.
This humiliating punishment was carried
out in the most offensive manner possible,
and Mr.. Cropsey, after having been escort
ed through the camp on horseback, bearing
the offensive label, was sent back to Wash
ington.-Ben. Perly Poore.

walk of six miles per diem on level
ground. If the ground is hilly, this will
be still more reduced, so that it certainly
does not seem an excessive amount to advise.
The proper quantity must, however, vary
greatly with circumstances. Females, for
example, will not take as much as men. In
winter more may be taken than in summer.
In youth, when the body is undergoing its
most active development, care must be ia
ken that every muscle is exercised in its
turn. Hence the free use of gymnastics,
games and sports at this age is most benefi-
cial. In advanced life this power and incli-
nation for exercise both fail, but even then
every effort should be made to prevail upon
the Individual to take some amount of eXer-
else, and to postpone the evil day when he
will become completely bed-ridden. Such
an amount of exercise is in all cases neces-
sary as will keep the muscles in good health
and enable them to meet the physical re-
qurements Of the rest of the body.
