The End orthc World TO Como This
31E#El =. Year. s"N

Nostradamus was celebrated physi-
clan and astrologer In France, who
died in 1866, aged 60 years. His pre-.
diction, made III Latin over 800 years
ago, was that the end Of the world
would come in the year in which Good
Friday came on st. Georges Day, and
Easter occurred On st. Marks Day and
Corpus Christi came on st. Johns Day,
all Of which condolences occur this
year. In regard to the time for the
for the fulnllment Of these great proph-
ecies no thoughtful observer will say
that the astrologer was very far wrong,
for the signs clearly indicate the begin.
ming Of the end. Within the next cen-
tury we may see the downfall Of despot-
isms In Europe, the desolating wars.
the great trlbulation, the rule Of com.
munism, nihillsm and anarchy, the dis.
solving OF the British Empire, the
division Of her landed estates following
the conflscation Of her church property,
the fall Of the Turkish power and the
restoration OF the Jews to Palestine

when Qatnine viii Broak up a Cold

1t Is surprising, says q family physi-
clan, how certainly a cold may be brok-
en- up by a timely dose Of quinine. When
first symptoms make their appearance,
when a little languor, slight hoarseness
and ominous, tightening of the nasal
membranes follow exposure to draughts
Of sudden chill by wet, five grains Of
this useful alkaloid are sufficient in
many cases to end the trouble. But 1t
must be done promptly. If tho golden
moment passes, nothing sulfices to stop
the weary sneszing, handkerchief using
red nose and woe bagone looking per-
iods that certainly follow.

The result of the Sullivan Mitchell fight has set sports to thinking and the impress sion is gaining ground that Jack Dempsey will soon be the champion of the world. He is known as the most strategic fighter in the world and has whipped many a big man by his superior headwork. Dempsey was born in Ireland in 1869, and has whip ped every man whom he has met. Demp- sey is modest looking young man and would hardly be taken for fighter. He is married and it is thought his wife will persuade him to retire from the ring.

Polygiot Perplsxities.

A person speaking only the English language may meet with amusing incl ients while travelling m Europe. For example. an English clergyman stopping it Swiss hotel, desiring ink, got out his 'phrasebook," looked carefully through to ind the French word for ink, and fail ing in hls search, concluded 10 sail in on his English. He rang his bell and the chamber-maid came to the door. ~Will you bring me some ink 7" said he. She stood statue-like, and he repeated, HInki inkr' She went out. but very soon re- turred and asked him, partly in French and in poor English. wheih her be would have it warmed. Again. on one occasion, gave a railroad conductor in Germany a small silver coin m order to have the compartment We were m all to ourselves After riding some distance we came to station where he was replaced by an- other conductor. Before leaving he came and spoke to us in German. Supposing be desired to see our tickets, I extendel my hand with them, at which be shook his head. We then thought we must change cars again. having ridden twenty miles without doing so. and all rose, at which movement he a second time shook his head. We next decided that 1t cer- tainly must be time to have our baggage vised, as 1t was four hours since the last examination, and We accordingly pulled down our valises and started for the door, whereupon the conductor not only shook bis head, but pushed us back and shut the door. We afterwards learned that he, through innate politeness, and in re- turn, 10 doubt, for the silver coin had gwen him, was simply endeavoring to bid us good-by.
 While going up the Rhine we saw four . English gentlemen on the deck sitting ! together; they called waiter and ord cred lemonade for four. The man went away, was gone near.y hall an hour, and at last appeared with ham and esgs for four. Nor was he far astray, as to the sound of the order, different in nature as were the viands he brought, as anybody with bad cold will perceive if he will repeat the words ham and eggs and lem onade alternately.

Home.

A home is not mere shelter from the weather, nor is it only place in which to lodge and eat; nor yet is it show. room for furliture or a museum for brio. a-brac. It is the living place. where the courtesies of life are to be cultivated and where health and happiness, peace and prosperity are to combine to make life . sublime joy.

ARTHUR'S AMBITION.
1t Is to Effect Settlement of the
20" Strike, and Another At
tempt Will Be Made.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-A final attempt
will be made in few day by the COM
mittee of the engineers. who went on
strike on the burlington road last Feb
uary, to get the men back to work upon
the old terms or better. The
result of the conference is bound to be
important, for if the men cannot get
back the committee has the power to
renew the efforts made last spring and
declare a general boycott on 80"
freight. If this boycott is declared, it
is said. the switchmen will seek to de-
feat the engineers, for the reason that
the former VOW vengeance against the
engineers, and charge them with
treachery in having induced them
to strike last spring and then
leaving them in the lurch. There are
still 400 idle switchmen and they have
held several meetings, at the last of
which they appointed committee to
wait on the Burlington officials and ask
for restoration to their old places. A
reply IS expected from Supt. Besler.
The general grievance committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is now in Chicago with
the single exception of the chairman,
who is en- route from San Francisco.
The feeling is stated to be very bitter
between the engineers and firemen
here, and this has extended to other
roads terminating in Chicago. This
condition of affairs is said to be WELD
ing a powerful influence against the
proposed scheme of q general fedora
ton of railway employees, which has
been under discussion for some time.
