KNOWLEDGE is PowER--The means
taken by some persons for the acquisition OF
knowledge are occasionally very surprising.
In an Ohio village the other day man
found two kegs of gunpowder in the cellar
of an old church which was used as dwell
ing by his own family and a number OF
others. He carried out one of the kegs, In
tending also to remove its fellow. The hrst
key leaked, however a little stream orb
bled from it, reaching from the spot where
the two kegs had stood together out INTO
the street, and on noticing the street eno'
The man began to wonder whether the pow
der was dry or not, and touched match 10
it in orf!sr to -aru 1t was dry. A hery
flash ran across the street, and down lnto
the church cellnr to the other keg, when
was also free of moisture, and blew up. oucn
part of the church as was not demolsheo
was set sadly askew. The families above
learned quite as much as the man had ascer
tanned concerning the dryness ofthe poWoer
and much more concerning its genera Ell
fects, though fortunately no one suffered Sc
rious iniury.-Harper's Weekly.

Stanton Gets over Seven Years.
New York World.
PHILADELPHIA. PA, Dec. 81
Stanton, the Connecticut student, who
pleaded guilty to killing his school
mate, Nash, was called up to-day for
sentence. There was a moment of in
tense suspense and considerable anx-
iety in court when Judge Allison had
finished his address to Stanton and
asked him for the second time Il he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. The pris-
oner said in a low voice, II have COM
mitted only one fault in this unfortu.
nate affair, and that was in permitting
myself to be forced to plead guilty to
a crime of which l am not guilty"
Judge Allison asked quickly: "Do you
wish to withdraw your plea?'
The prisoner hesitated a moment
and then said:
Il would do so at this moment if l
could"
"You can do that if you wish. You
are entitled to a trial by jury" replied
His Honor.
"What we have done we have done
under written instructions" interrupt
ed Furman Sheppard, Of counsel for
the defense.
"What do you propose to do?" asked
the judge of Stanton.
81 am not guilty of the crime of
murder" was the reply. II did some
thing to defend my own life"
Assistant District Attorney Breezy
objected to the withdrawal of the plea,
but Judge Allison waited for the pris-
oner. Stanton stood clutching the rail
Of the dock, his level brows knitted.
The corners of his mouth twitched
slightly. A full minute passed and be
still was silent. Then DR.. Bacon step
ped quickly to the dock and talked
with him for a moment or two. After
the consultation the minister said:
"The prisoner desires to say that he
will be satisfied if it may be under
stood that he continues bis plea of
murder in the second degree with the
understanding that it shall not weigh
in the public opinion against him and
that while the plea thus stands be, in
the forum of his own conscience, stands
guilty Of no crime at all"
"He is entitled to that" said Judge
Allison quickly, and then imposed a
sentence Of seven years and six months
in solitary confinement. Stanton did
not vince. The sentence is virtually
one of but FIVE years, as there is a year
of Communication for good behavior and
Judge Allison consented to have the
term begun eight months back, when
Stanton first went into Moyamensing
Prison"

What Dan Be 0 n

BY trying again and keeping up
courage many things seemingly impos-
sible may be attained. Hundreds Of
hopeless cases Of Kidney and Liver
Complaint have been cured by Electric
Bitters, after everything else had been
tried in vain. So, don't think there is
nc cure for you, out try Electric Bit
tiers. There is no medicine so safe, so
pure, and so perfect a Blood Purifier.
L ectric Bitters will cure Dyspepsia,
Diabetes and all Diseases Of the Kid
neys. Invaluable in all affections Of
Stomach and Liver, and overcome all
Urinary Difficulties.

The President interviewed

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A New York
World correspondent had ar interview
with President Cleveland Saturday.
The President was asked how he re-
garded Senator Beck's speech upon the
tariff. He replied: "My own personal
idea about that is that the only practi-
Cal way to pass a bill would be to have
the proper committee charged with the
work take up the subject in a business
fashion, and modifythe present law in
such a way as to help poor people who
labor, and to take away needless pro-
lection from the few who have grown
Unfortunately rich at the expense of the
many"
Referring to the subject Of The
Senate and the consideration by that
body Of his appointments, the Presi-
pent said: II have made no hasty
selection of officers, but OF the con-
trary, have given very much time and
investigation to the subject, apprecia-
ting that very much depends on the
personnel Of the government. Possibly,
/ may have erred in some instances,
but l am surf they are few, and
| have every evidence that the
country is satisfied with the new Off
Gals. l have no knowledge as to what
course the Senate will pursue, but !
have no idea that it will assume to in
terfere with the prerogatives of the
President. 1 have my duties, and it
has its duties. One thing | do not be.
lieve, and that is that the United States
Senate will spend its time in listening
to the petty criticisms Of appointees'
which come from disappointed appli-
cants for Offices"

LILLE E. BARR.

Unjust look to the sheep In the fold,
See the cattle are fed and warm;
So Jack, tell mother to wrap you well,
You NAV 20 with me over the farm.
Though the snOWis deep and the weather
cold,
You are not a baby at six years old.
Two feetof snow on the hillside lay,
But the sky was blue as June;
And father and son came laughing home
When dinner was ready at noon
Knocking the snow from their wearyfeet,
Rosy and hungry and longing to eat.
1.-THE snow was so deep, " fine father said,
THAT | feared l should scarce ger
through"
The mother turned with a pleasant smile:
Then what could a little lad dO?p
81 trOd in my fathers steps, said Jack;
Wherever he went, ! kept his track"
The mother looked in the fathers face,
And Y solemn thought was there;
The words had gone like a lightning flash
To the sat of anObler care;
"If he tread IN my steps, then day by DAY
How carefully | must choose my way!
For the child will do as the father does,
And the track that l leave behind,
If it be firm, and clear and straight,
The feet of my sou shall find.
He will treadin his fathers steps. and say,
