Let Us Keep Cool.


What relief it is to know that we
are not in sight of a serious national
crisis! That no tremendous upheaval
will be the result of our action, no rev.
olution or sectional bitterness, no
wounds which it will take generation
to heal! We rest supremely content
in the belief that this wonderful eco
nOmical experiment, a government by
the people, is in safe hands. The
masses pouring out of our public
schools, crowding our churches, de-
vouring newspapers every day in the
year, sturdy 100000 men with
healthy brains and tons of common
sense, are quite able to take care of
themselves and handle the RESPONSE
bilities with which they are intrusted.
If by any political trick an evil spirit,
though it were his majesty from the
district of birthstone, should take up
his residence in the White House, he
would be pOwerless to do us harm.
With the constitution standing at the
door of his ante-chamber, like senti-
mel in uniform with drawn sword, and
behind the constitution people whose
will is as resistless and as relentless as
an Atlantic storm, he would find him
self in a hotter place than that he came

The Charms That Music Hath.
The Neac Fork Tribune

The Nelc York Tribune
Attending service not long ago in
an elegant church edifice where they
worship God with taste in a highly
aesthetic manner, the choir began that
scriptural poem that compares Solo
mon with the lilies of the field, some
what to the formers disadvantage.
Although never possessing a great
admiration for Solomon, nor consider
ing him a suitable person to hold up
as shining example before the Young
Mems Christian Association, still a
pang of pity for him was felt when the
choir, after expressing, unbOunded ad-
miration for the lilies of the field,
which it is doubtful if they ever OBJ
served very closely, began to tell the
congregation through the mouth of
the soprano that "SOlomon in all his
glory was not arrayed." Straightway
the soprano was reinforced by the bass,
who declared that Solomon was most
decidedly and emphatically not array
ed-was not arrayed. Then the alto
ventured it as her opinion that Solo
mon was not arrayed, when the tenor
without a moments hesitation sang as
if it had been officially announced that
che was not arrayed." Then when the
feelings of the congregation had been
narrowed up sufficiently, and our
sympathies all aroused for poor Solo
mon whose numerous wives allowed
him to go about in such fashion even
in that climate, the choir altogether in
a most cool and composed manner in
formed us that the idea they intended
to convey was that Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed "like one of
these" These what So long a time
had elapsed since they sang of the
lilies that the thread was entirely lost,
and by "these" one naturally cOnclud
ed that the choir was designated. Ar
rayed like one of these? We should
think not indeed Solomon in a
Prince Albert or cutaway coat 2 Solo
mon with an eyeglass and mustache,
his hair cut pompadour? No, most
decidedly. Solomon in the very zenith
of his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.
Despite the experience of the morn
ing the hope still remained that in the
evening a sacred song might be sung
in manner that would not excite our
disabilities or leave the impression that
we had been listening to case of
DIacklnall. DuG again Oh sCdrGeu IHo
nimble soprano with the very laudable
though rather startling announcement,
81 will wash" Straightway the alto,
not to be outdone, declared she would
wash. And the tenor, finding it to be
the thing, warbled forth he would
wash. Then the deep-chested basso,
as though calling up all his fOrtitude
for the plunge, beloved forth the
stern resolve that he also would wash.
Next short interlude on the organ,
strongly suggestive of the escaping of
steam or splash of the waves, after
which the choir individually and col
lectively asserted the firm, mistaken
resolve that they would wash. At
last they solved the problem by stat
ing that they proposed to "wash their
hands in innOcency, SO will the altar of
the Lord be cOmpassed.n

Teaching Horses How to Stand.
Rural Canadian

An old horseman gives the following
as his method of training horses to
stand without being tied: After young
horses have once become entirely bril-
die wise, first endeavor to teach them
the meaning of every word l say to
them. That is not a difficult matter,
provided too many words are not used
at once. The first step is to adopt
some word at the sound of which they
are to understand that they must stop.
Words that are easy to speak, and
which can be made emphatic, should
be chosen, such as sho," "whoa," ETC.,
and every time the word is used the
horse to which it is spoken should be
made to obey it fully. Carelessness in
regard to this matter will do more to
undo what has been taught than any
thing else. When a horse fully under
stands the meaning of the word which
you use when you wish him to stop
and stand still, the greater part of the
work is accomplished. He then can
be trusted with safety while You leave
him short time. To take no risk,
and to make the work more effective, it
is a good plan for two to get into the
vehicle to which horse is hitched
anu, having sCoppeu AFTER q SHORT
drive, one should get out and leave
him for a short distance. Should the
horse then start, the one in the vehicle
can then draw the lines suddenly, and
thus prevent his getting away. There
will be no trouble in teaching any
horse with an ordinary amount of good
common sense to stand as long as you
desire without being hitched, if a little
judgment and patience are used in
attempting it.

The Automatic Insurance Agent.

The popular demand for automatic
machinery that tells your weight,
hands you chewing gum or cigarettes
or causes the wheels of toy engine to
revOlve, when nickel five-cent piece
is slipped into a slot, finds its latest
development in patented device to
deliver accident insurance policies to
nervous persons without the usual &C
compartment of an agent with d cate
chism or doctor and tell-tale steth-
oscope. A shrewd inventor, calculating
upon the fOndness of most people for
novelties, has patented cOntrlvance
which on receiving a nickel in one slot
will thrust out of another thin strip
of cardboard. On this cardboard is
printed a complete accident insurance
policy, issued by New York company
and payable to bearer under similar
conditions to those of other accident
insurance policies. Each policy will
cover period of twenty-four hours
and will guarantee an indemnity of
$500 for loss of life, $500 for leg,
5000 for an arm, and S25 a week for
total disability or incapacity to pursue
the ordinary avocation of the injured
purchaser.
II uIuoIeHO SoG vi tICh0GS Will uo sup
piled each day and these will be in
serted in the machine, and those left
over will be removed once in every
twenty-four hours by the attendant
who will, it is hoped, fill his bag at
the same time with shining half dimes.
An insurance company has been secur-
ed to issue these policies at two cents
each, thus leaving three cents to pay
the pr electors rentals and dividends
The machines will be placed wherever
the public can get at them easily-in
railway stations, hotels, steamboats,,
ferry houses, barber-shops, bar-rooms
and other places where men and wOm-
en- do most congregate for the purpose
of spending their money, or where the
dangers incident to travel are most for
ciblY thrust upon their notice.

Disposition of Old Letters.


1t is trouble, not good, that arises
from old letters. A package has fallen
into my care to be disposed of as
thought best. 1t contains letters, bills,
receipts, some papers of value and
others worthless. In order to sort the
chaff from the wheat, they must be
carefully examined. All, what I'M
thought of secrets they disclose family
troubles of which the world never
dreamed bitter heartaches where we
thought all was serene; love letters,

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
An EstimabIe Woman Murdered to 8
isfy q Grudge.

a sat-
isfy q Grudge.
The wife of Maj. Howes, WE'LL
known and cultivated Boston woman,
was shot and instantly killed, Sunday.
Aug. 10, by a party in ambush, while
canoeing in the head waters of the To-
bique river, Sc miles from Fort Fair
field, Me. Mrs. Howes was a woman
of high attachments. She married
has since lived in Boston and Philadel-
phia. Three men, w. M. Day, Frank
Trafton and Henry PHILIPPINE, have
been arrested and lodged in Jail for the
murder of Mrs. Howes. Circumstantial
evidence points very closely to these
parties. Great excitement over the
matter prevailed at TObique, and there
were threats of lynching the supposed
murderers.
About three weeks ago Maj. HOwes
started up the river on his annual
fishing trip. He had with him his
wife, his daughter Helen, his 16year-
old son Lorraine, two sons aged and
8, Mr.. Lincoln, friend, and four In
dams who were to act as guides for
the party Two weeks of sport were
enjoyed on the upper waters of the
river and then the party concluded to
work their way homeward. They
reached Gulquack, small tributary of
the Tobique, about As miles from it's
mouth, on Saturday afternoon. 1t was
delightful spot, with a large salmon
pool close at hand, and Maj. Howes
thought he would remain there for a
day or two and try what luck he would
have. Tents were pitched, canoes
drawn upon the wooded shore and all
hands lay down to sleep. In a short
time after, canoe was heard to steal
up the river. There were two men in
it, and the torch on the bow showed
what their mission was. They were
bent on spearing salmon, and as this
was contrary to law, Maj. HOwes de-
termined to stop them. He ordered
them off, but not until he threatened
to use force would they go. They went
away, muttering that they would have
satisfaction if they had to shoot some
one for it, but no one dreamed they
would carry out this threat. The next
day, how ever, as Maj. Howes's party
moved down the river, they were fired
upon. They thought at first it was a
chance shot from a sportsman, but it
was soon apparent that there was MUIR
derous intent, and with the third shot
Mrs. Howes fell forward in the stern of
the boat corpes. Those who visited
the spot where the shooting was done
found that regularly prepared am
buscade had been made, with loop
holes in it for rifles. A short distance
from the barricade two Winchester
rifles similar to those known to belong
to two of the prisoners were foun d, as
if the assassins, in their anxiety to es
cape, had cast them from them so as
not to impede flight.

preaching. Il do not say these things

A Martinez Emperor.

The young German emperor the
other day, after reviewing some of his
troops, remarked !: ''My lads, if you
did no better than this in real war you
would all by now be sausage meat"
A few days afterward he surprised the
Potsdam hussars and chasseurs by
having an alarm sounded at o'clock
in the morning. All the soldiers who
showed the slightest remissness were
severely reprimanded and several Of
ficers were placed under arrest.

In Norway, broken winded horses
are seldom seen. This fact, in spite of
the hilly country and the consequently
hard work of the animals, is attributed
to the style of feeding. Instead of Civ
ing the horses large quantities of wat
er at one time, bucket of water is al
ways the accompaniment of their hay.
The horse takes a mOuthful of hay and
then mouthful of water, and seems to
relish his food thus moistened far more
than when it is dry. This information
may be of use to horse-keepers. At all
events, the method is worth trying.
