Ready for War.

The health of the emperor of
Germany is growing more and more
critical, and the chances for war
during the summer or eally autumn
more and more certain. Russia will
not be satisfied with less than her
own way in Bulgaria and the re-
moyal of Austria from Bosnia. This
the allied powers-Germany, Italy
and Austria-will not, of course,
agree to, and England will support
them SO as to prevent France from
going to the help of Russia. The
allies are armed and ready and hope
after hostilities begin to make a
short but decisive campaign. In
the meantime the poor, struggling
people are bowed to the earth with
a too heavy load of taxation that
millions of non-producing men, the
very flower of nations, may be held
in reserve for an emergency that
may be sprung at any moment by
the fat of one mantle car OF

An old man used to say to bis
granddaughter, when she used to be
out of temper or naughty in any
way, "Mary, Mary, take care, there's
a mouse in the pantry" She often
used to cease crying at this and
stand wondering to herself what he
meant. She often ran to the pan
try to see if there really was a
mouse in the trap but she never
found one. One day she said
"Grandfather, ] don't know what
you mean; haven't a pantry and
there are no mice in mothers, be-
cause l have looked so often" He
smiled and said: "Come and I'll
tell you what mesn. Your heart
Mary, is the pantry; the little sins
are the mice that get in and nibble
away all the good, and that makes
you sometimes cross and peevish
and fretful. To keep them out you
must set trap-the trap of watch
fulness."

WEATHER CHARTS
To Be Issued Twice Daily for the Benefit

To THE CITIZEN.

To THE CITIZEN.
NASHVILLE, TENN, May IL, 1888.
in view of the necessity Of fur
nishing the night indications to the
press of the country at an earlier
hour than is at present practicable,
and in order to facilitate the lnten-
ton of the chief signal officer to
place more promptly, satisfactorily
and clearly before the general pub
lie the charted observations OF the
signal corps, it has been decided to
substitute Geographic observations
at s a. NJ. and s p. m, standard
eastern time, for the three observa-
tions now telegraphea. The third
telegraphic observation will be re-
placed by special observations sent
direct to the chief signal officer,
which will keep the indications off,
Ger fully advised as to the edge of
advancing cold waves, local storms
or other marked atmospheric phe-
nomena.
In connection with this change
of observations, there will be issued
to all points which can be promptly
reached by mail from the great
commercial centres two daily charts
of the complete observations of the
country, which, being posted side
by side, will enable those interested
as we'll as the general public, tt
note for themselves the advance o
storms. By this means the local
meteorologists will frequently be
able to decide for themselves more
satisfactorily than can be done by
the present general predictions from
this Office as to the character of the
Weather which may be expected il
their own locality.
The srationing of officers Of thu
signal corps at various point:
throughout the country with au-
thority to discuss generally the at
mospheric changes during the pre-
vious day without, however, max
ing definite predictions will, it is
hoped, increase the usefulness o
this service to the people.
Very Respectfully,

Pulled in on time at our daugh

was a perfect fit. Not being accus
toned to eating good dinners l was
a little in the rear of those that
were. Not wishing to be left very
politely asked one of the guest to
have something more to which he
replied he had plenty every day. In
our excursion l was reminded of
another little incident that occurred
when / was boy. A whole lot of
the neighbor boys assembled on
the creek one Sunday to battle, fish,
etc. After getting tired of this
sport we got into another play in
which one of the boys covered him
self with sheep skin, got down on
his allfores and ran at another boy
who was sitting on log. This
frightened the sitter and in jump
ping off his pants caught on knot
and a portion of them stayed there,
the balance went down with the boy
who could just tip the ground with
his toes, he could neither get his
pants loose nor get back CD the log.
After we laughed heartily we loos-
ened him and let him go. His ma
mended his brooches and he is now
living and in good health. Sally
brought me home in good condition
for which l am glad.

1t is not alone when a man has
turned aside from the path of duty,
nor yet when he has slackened his
interest in the work to which God
has sent him, that he Is liable to be
tempted, and that his struggles with
temptation are likely to be real and
prolonged. 1t is mistake to sup
pose that one who has a busy hand
and an active mind and hearty
spirit, in the line of well doing,
shall be shielded from temptation,
and shall have no inclination in the
direction of misdoing. Temptations
assail the believer in the path of
duty; and he who perseveres in the
right, must persevere In spite OF
temptation, not in freedom from it.

I believe and am sure that God
is in Christ reconciling the world
unto himself, not reckoning their
tresspasses to them; and that the
only practical advice to give to one
who would be delivered from the
burden of guilt Is the same as thai
given to one who would be free
from the bondage of sin-namely to
urge him at once to fly to Jesus, to
lear trustingly on his promises; to
be assured that no other sacrifice OF
penalty is required than that which
he has paid for us; his word Is the
rock on which you may firmly plant
your feet and fear no storm.-Thos

Sugar, syrup, fresh cheese, wheat
en- grits, hominy, juicy meats are
the foods to make flesh. Almost
any woman will get plump on brown
btead and wheaton grits, or oatmeal
eaten twice q day with plenty of
meat and vegetables for breakfast
and a supper of brown biscuit with
sweet meats, cheese and cream. II
is not necessary to eat largely if the
appetite does not call for it, but the
food must be tempting, and if hun
ger is keen, one who would be
plump and spirited should not be
afraid to indulge it. Unrelish-
ing, distasteful food will not nour-
ish and stimulate like what is
piquant and savory and changed in

Blaine Again in the Field.

So Blaine, after all his denial. is
not out of the field and may &C
cept the republican nomination for
president. He can get it if he
wishes, in spite of his defeat, and
friends insist that he must accept
and a politician is always in the
hands of his friends.
Mr.. Blaine's refusal IN advance
to accept the nomination if it was
rendered to him was apparently so
genuine that the great majority of
the people accepted it, although
even then there was some donbters.
For weeks past the army of doubt
ers have continued to grow. 1t was
strange if Mr.. Blaine was really out
of the field that his supporters
should be SO active in getting so
many votes for him; it was strange
that his praises should be sung
louder than ever, and that the press
and conventions should continue
to endorse and approve "the plumed
knight"
The explanation seems to be
that Mr.. Blaine was playing that
most ancient of political tricks de-
rived from that American animal,
the 'possum. The proofs are not
all out yet, but the facts indicate
that Blaine will reluctantly accept
the honor rendered him and lead
the republican forces into another
battle.
With the same candidate against
him (for there can be no doubt OF
Mr.. Cleveland's renomlnation), the
election will be deprived of much OF
its spirit. We aired all the person
al history of both these gentlemen
in the last campaign and can scarce
ly go over these old issues again
The two parties will have to circle
around lively to find some new mat
ters to discuss the presidency over

The record of bloodthirsty In

that the people had forgotten that

of Kansas in opposition TO the re-
publican nominees. Boiling a bad
party is meritorious performance,
and it would be greatly to Ingalrs
credit that he went against the re-
publicans were it not tor the fact
that at present his republicanism is
so strait laced and bloodthirsty that
his own history as an occasional in
dependent puts him in ridiculous

According to the Philadelphia


According to the Philadelphia
Times the friends of Blaine propose
to hold conference in Washing
ton about ten days before the con.
vention, when a concerted line OF
action will be agreed upon. The
program is to have the vote of the
convention so divided as to make a
nomination impossible. At a given
signal, when the word is passed
along the line, the delegates will
swing into the Blaine column anG
nominate him. The field is already
taking steps against such contin-
gency, and are making combina-
tions with that end in view.

GULLIBILITY

THE wild pbantoms and shrieking cries OF
i worthless hnmbug can make money by
imposing upon the credulity and ignorance
of an honest public, and the supply of this
species OF work seems more than an ade-
quate demand. The enuncation of facts
facts that have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible evidence;
should satisfy all laudable enterprises; but
the execrable practice of teaching false ideas
and doctrines for self aggrandisement is
truly rep1ehensible and sh uld be seorned
by oil classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide OF
Potash IS poison simply because their OPP
