How General Barrios Was Killed.

Advices have been received at Washington
from Guatemala describing briefly the scene
of Gen. Barrios' death. The contending
armies had hardly begun to battle when the
Guatemalan commander was killed He was
not leading the troops on the battlefield, but
was passing leisurely along at some distance
in the rear of the troops, when an onslaught
was suddenly made upon him by q band of the
enemy. Barrios fell mortally wounded by a
bullet, and died in a few moments. A desperate
struggle was made to capture his body from
his guard, and twenty Guatemalan
soldiers were killed before the enemy
were repulsed and the attempt aban-
doned. II was in this fight that Barrios' son
fell. 1t is the common belief that Barrios was
deliberately assassinated by the intrigues of
Zaldivar and that the responsibility for the
crime rests with him. Papers were also re-
ceived from Guatemala containing a proclama-
ton by Zaldivar making the absurd claim that
he had the promise of protection from Mexico
and the United States, and that twenty Ameri-
caa men-of- war and gunboats would be sent to
his defense against Barrios. The body of
Baraos was taken to Guatemala and buried
with impressive ceremonies. TIL people were
profoundly moved by the disaster, and showed
great sorrow at the death of their president,
under whose leadership they looked for bril-
liant national progress.

women. In short, if there is less love
in the late marriages, there is usually
so much more common sense and
aabitual politeness that the chances
for happiness are equalized.
OF course, the ideal marriage is that
neither Of immature youth nor mid
dle-age. The JUST milieu is always
right in every disputed question. But
when one is at either end it is so hard
to reach the middle!
After all, we are tempted to reverse
Punch's counsel, and say to all who
are tempted to marry-do it. Go into
the field and reap your little harvest
experience. Whatever the juice, of
bitter or sweet, which you express
from it, it will be your own, and will
be better tonic and medicine for
your life than that which any other
man can bring you.

Republican Simplicity in Washington.

st. Nicholas for September.
The Constitutional requirement
that Congress must give its consent
to the acceptance of foreign presents
or honors, is an evidence of what
foreigners call our republican sim
plicity. This spirit of simplicity"
pervades all our institutions. The
people are not disposed to forget that
they are the real sovereign, and they
require that the management of their
affairs shall be open to inspection.
The citizens from the backwOods Of
the West, and the citizens from the
classic streets of Boston, may wander
about the halls of government with
equal freedom and impunity. The
only restrictions are those Of prudence
or necessity. An American should
not complain because he is permitted
to roam through the vaults of the
Treasury only under the escort of a
guide. If he wishes to hear the
debates of Congress, a seat in the gal
lery is at his disposal.
That we find "red tape" and eX-
cessive dignities in some ofour official
circles, cOncede; but these are trifies
as compared with the tedious for
malities and pOmp of other lands.
Indeed, it is only by such comparison
that you can properly estimate these
features of American equality.
Here we have no long line of SER
wants in livery and soldiers in uni
form pArading within and without
our public buildings. There is not q
vestige of an army around the White
House, and about the only livery the
President sees is that worn by hi:

How Whaling Ships Winter in the
Artic.
st Nicholas for September,

st Nicholas for September,
In the fall just before it gets so cold
that the ice forms, the ships huddle
together, and each puts down two
anchors, one at the bow and one at
the stern, and these hold them from
striking against the shore or one an
other until the ice forms around
them and freezes them in solidly.
Then the anchors and rudders are
taken up, and, with lumber which
they have brought from home, the
whalers build a substantial = house
over the ship. Then they get the
Eskimo to build sort of snow house
over the wooden house and, so, with
ali this covering to protect them, they
manage to keep warm and cOmfOrta-
BILE with very little fire, however
cold it may be out-Of-doors. Some
times they put in double windows,
the inside ones of glass, as usual, and
the outside ones being made of slabs
Office, like the curious windows of
the igJOOs. The white men do not
live in these temporary houses built
on tops Of the ships, but in the cabin
and forecastle, just as if they were
cruising out to sea. The house is
simply put over the ship to keep the
real places warm, and right well it
does its work. This "hOuse," how
ever, is very useful as place for tax
ing exercise, for ship-carpentering
work, and for any small jobs that
may be necessary. The Eskimo also
congregate there, especially about
meal-time; when generous whalers
treat them with sea-bread and weak
tea sweetened with mOlasses.

20, Lor' Hit I'm Again p

In the early days of Methodism in
Scotland, certain congregation,
where there was but one rich man,
desired to build a new chapel. A
church meeting was held. The old
rich Scotchman rose and said: "Breth-
rem, we dinna need new chapel: T'll
give Is for repairs"
Just then a bit of plaster falling
from the ceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad it
was, he said: "Brethern, its worse
thon l THOUGHT; I'll make it 50
pun"
ooh, Lord" exclaimed a devoted
brother on a back seat, chin i'm
again."
There are many human tabernacles
which are in sore need of radical
building over, but we putter and fuss
and repair in spots without satisfacto-
ry results. 1t is only when we are
personally alarmed at the real danger
that we act independently, and do
the right thing. Then it is that we
most keenly regret because we did
not sooner use our judgmnt, follow
the advice born Of the experience of
others and jump away from our
perils.
Thousands of persons who will read
this paragraph are in abject misery
to-day when they might be in a salts
factory condition. They are weak,
lifeless, full of odd aches and pains,
and every year they know they are
getting worse, even though the best
doctors are patching them in spots.
The origin of these aches and pains is
the kidneys and liver, and if they
would build these all over new with
Warmers safe cure as millions have
done, and cease investing their money
in miserably unsuccessful patch work

Rats in the Cellar.

Shortly before winter as the storessgo
into cribs and cellars, young rats ralsed
by careful mothers in hollow trees or other
safe and sheltered corners, busy theme
selves at night looking for winter quar-
tiers where they will be defense from cold,
and where food will be at hand. When
a cellar is stored with fruit, vegetables,
etc., it is very difficult to drive out rats,
and the damage they do in such a place
is enormous. All the finest fruits are soon
bitten into, defled and spoiled. A little
anticipatory care, to prevent their estab-
fishing a colony, pays well. The open
ings for ventilation should have rat proof
screens; the floors and walls should be
searched for holes; empty barrels or boxes
moved, holes stopped with glass and ner-
tar, and a fresh coat of whitewash given.
If doubtful places remain, agood sprlnk-
ling of copperas and lime is hateful and
deterrent to these troublesome animals.
If from any cause the cellar itself cannot
be made secure, choice samples OF fruit
may be kept safe in old tin boilers or SINH
lar vessels, or in boxes suspended from
the joists above by wire hooks. The rats
that go out from new colonies are mostly
young, and much more easily caught than
older ones. If fed for two or three nights
on a tray of sawdust a steel trap placed
in the tray will not be seen or suspected,
and will general catch aud hold at least
one marauder.
