The seeds Of love can never grow

million worlds; and yet get out Of

The consciousness Of being loved
soNens the kecncst ping, even at
the moment Of parting yea, even
the eternal farewell is robbed of half
its bitterness when uttered in nc
cents that breathe love to the last
sigh.
There are some persons who never
succeed, from being too indolent to
attempt anything; and others who
regularly fail because the instant
they find success in their power
they grow Indifferent and give over
the attempt.
The loving heart is the strong
heart. The generous hand is the
hand to cling to when the path is
difficult. There is room for the ex-
ercise Of charity cverywhere-in
business, in society, and the church;
but the first and chiefest need of it
is at home, where it is the salt
which keeps all things sweet, the
aroma which makes every hour
charming, and the divine light
which shines starlike through all
gloom and depression.

THE World And you.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Laugh, and the world laughs with you /;
Weep, and you weep alone:
For the brave old Earth must borrow its
mirth-
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from volcing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleas
ure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, aud you lose them all
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by:
Succeed and give and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There IS room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one VIC must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1886-10-01

A Georgia editor recently con-
fessed that he didn't understand
the tariff question. Last week his
paper failed aud suspended publl-
cation. We knew it must come.
An editor should never confess that
he doesn't know anything. A Da-
kota editor was asked the other
day il he knew where the lost tribes
of Irael went to. He replied that
he was thoroughly apprised OF their
whereabouts bat interested friends
OF the parties had begged him not
to publish the facts. This mystic
rious hint greatly excited the peo-
pie of the village, and in antlclpa-
tion of some further developments
in the matter they bought twelve
extra copies Of his paper. These
two extreme cases illustrate the
difference between a man who
knows his business aud a man wEo
doesn't. Lynn Union.

LOCK-JAW CURED.
DR.. Robert Taylor's Successful Treatment of
the Case of Miss Effie Masterson.

New York, July 9.--Dr. Robert Taylor for
merly associated with DIR. L. A Sayre, of this
city, reports the cure of case of traumatic
tetanus, or lock-jaw. resultant from a wound.
which is said to be the only instance in which a
fatal conclusion to such attack has been
averted. On May /, Miss Efie Masterson,
daughter of Mr.. Robert Masterson retire
New York merchant, resident at Bronsville, had
the bones of the toe and instep of her right foot
crushed. Dr. Taylor dressed the wound, remov
ing number of pieces of bone, and trimmed off
the little toe, which could not be saved. Recog
ognizipg the extreme probability of lock jaw, he
put the patient under the influence of morphine.
He began by giving her sixty drops of Majen-
dess solution of the sulphate OF morpha lone
quarter of grain to the drachml at each dose,
three doses day. Th he increased gradually
until it was doubled. and during the worst peri
od of her suffering, that amount even was ex
ceeded-enough to keep her in stupefed condi-
ton all the time Twice day her
wound was dressed with balsam of peru and
oakum, and the bandage pressure was carefully
regulated and constantly watched to prevent the
matter burrowing. 1t healed admirably, show
ing healthy tendency from the first. But eight
days after the injury the first symptoms Of lock-
jaw appeared-severe and increasing pains In
the sides of the face, followed by violent twitch-
pain in the sides of the face became so great that
it could hardly be allayed, even by the enormous
doses of morphine given. In four days after the
first symptoms declared themselves the tetanus
was fully established. The girls jaws were
tightly locked together, the muscles of the right
leg, arm and side twitched convulsively, and the
body was bent like bow, resting upon the head
and heels. These violent symptoms lasted nine
days During that time, in addition to the NOR
phine, large quantities of rye whisky, brandy,
champagne. sherry, egg nog, milk punch and
other stimulants were given to her. The loss of
a tooth permitted their introduction into the
mouth through a rubber tube At length the
first indication of recovery appeared in the ces-
sation of the twitchng Of the muscles, and then
the opening of the mouth far enough to permit
the passing of knife-b blade between the teeth.
From that point the progress of recovery was
rapid, until now the foot is well and the lock-
jaw has disappeared.

TROUBLED DEMOCRATS.
The River and Harbor Bill Proving Ele-
phant of Large I'roportions.

The River and Harbor BilI Proving an Ele-
phant of Large Proportions.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON July 8-During the past forty.
eight hours there have been many rumors con-
cerning the desire of Democratic leaders and
their intentions in relation to the river and har-
Dor bill. More than dozen prominent men in
Congress have been told by the President that
the bill would bo vetoed; that it was vicious;
that money might as we'll be dropped into
snake hole, and that there was no sense in be-
ginning works all over the country and leaving
them in an incompleted condition; that the only
way to make money effective which has been
appropriated for the Improvement of rivers and
harbors is to place it within the discretion OF
the Secretary of War and the executive. 1t is
stated upon good congressional authority that
the truest Democratic friends Of the admins
tration are considering the propriety of either
making dead lock on the river and harbor bill,
and permitting it to die in conference when
Congress adjourns, or placing 1t on the
House calendar and let it rest
there until adjournment, when it will be dead.
This is for the purpose of keeping it away from
a veto, because veto means fight by ths
Democrats against the administration and the
engendering Of bad blood. liberal Democrats
and long-headed Republicans do not take much
stock in this report, however, and say that it
will not do for the Democratic party TO avoid
the issue; that it must complete its bill and send
it to the President as the Republicans have
done heretofore, even though it is vetood as one
bill was vetoed by President Arthur. II the
river and harbor bill now pending before Con-
gress is vetoed, it will undoubtedly fail to receive
two-thirds vote in the House, and, therefore,
fail of final passage. A lesson is taken from tho
passage of the river and harbor bill over Presi-
dent Arthur's veto in the Forty-seventh Con.
gress, and the Democrats do not want to drop
into the same bunder
