Or. Faustus.

The basis of the literary Faust-sage
$ the Faust-book Of 1887, first sold
at the Frankfort Fair Of that year,
the title OF which runs: History of
DR.. Johann Faust, the renowned
magician =asfss l. ths4RlaekArta
how he pledged himself to the devil
at an appointed time, what strange
adventures be passed through mean
while, ordered and carried out by
himself, till in the end he received his
well-merited reWerS. For the most
part derived from ais own writings
that he left behind, and printed as an
awful example. lrightfal illustration,
and earnest warning to all VAN, cur-
ious, and Goddess men, The work
is dedicated by the writer and printer
Johann Spies, to ihifs most gracious
dear Lords and friends, Caspar
Kolln, Secretary to the Kurfurst Of
Mainz, and Hieronymus Half, Rent
master in the county of Konlgstein.
In this little book all the widely.dis-
persed legends, oral and written, re.
speeding DR.. Faustus were brought
together into literary, shape. It's
success was unbounded, and imita-
tions sprang up in all directions. a
year or two later appeared an Eng
lish version, sThe History OF the
Damngble Life and Deserved Death
OF Or. John Faustus," a continuation
appeared in 1894, entitled. 1.-THE
second report OF DR. John Faustns,
containing bis appearances, and the
deeds Of Wagner, &C." and before the
end OF the century histories OF Faust
were circulating throughout well-nigh
every country OF Western Europe.
The only one OF these embodying any
new material is that OF Widman,
published at Hamburg in 1899, and
which is declared to b. based mainly
on original sources. In addition to
the prose versions numerous ballads
also appeared and every strolling
company Of players was expected to
have on it's repertory some peace
dealing with the career OF the great
magician. Marlowe seems TO have
founded his famous drama on the
original Frankfort book, the story Of
which, st least, was in all probability
brought owe to this country IN the
year Of its publication by an English
company OF players who had been IN
the service Of the Duke ofSaxony.-

Though it is impossible to make thI

years service. physically old; though
we cannot give him the hardened

he will haze six or seven years later,

a veteran by giving him perpetual

will havd To do III war. No doubt.
as | we'll know by my own unpleasant
experience ia the Franco. Germauwar,
the actual whistling Of helIets Che
crashing of shells, and the sight oil
friends killed and wounded, have an
effect which cannot be simulated in
peace; but it is certainly possible to
give the young soldier such instruc-
ton that all the phases of an action
will be familiar to him, and that he
will instinctively know the right
course to pursue under different cir
cumstances. So long as fighting was
conducted in stiff lines or heavy col.
umns, the regular drill, which still
goes on in the barrack yard, was un-
doubtedly a very valuable training
for war; but the case is altered now,
and we are handicapping ourselves II
we do not give to the young soldier
constant instruction in all those
fighting exercises which have taken
the place of the starched movements
formerlyin vogue. II the chief por.
ton OF his time IS spent in the ordi-
nary drills, whereas on the field of bat
tie those drills will absolutely disap.

him for something different, SO that
when he finds himself ia the presence
OF an enemy everything will be com.
paratively new to him. To the effect

and the sight OF wounds and death,

which arises from his having TO per-
form movements to which he is unac-
customed, or at least little accustom.

Nineteenth Century.
The victims sacrificed at the death
OF q Kiag in Dahomey are often cap
tives or criminals, and are supposed
to become his servants IA another
world. Those killed at intervals, are
supposed to be messengers 10 him
from this world. Their dispatch ia
considered by each successive King o.

as a matter Of duty, alike TO bis fa-
ther, to the State and to the gods.
Hewaiks about amongt the messenger,
delivers to them his messages and
talks amicably to each Of them upon
the subject, as an authenticanecdote ia,
inimitable in it's humors, told me By
Tetteh Agamazong will show.
One day, in going the rounds the
King came to a remarkably fine-look-
ing man, o native oil the Yoruba
Country, and said to him: well
you have got TO go; tell my father /
am getting along pretty well, and am
governing the people as he would
wish nae TO do.n'

60, but | want to tell you one thing

What is that?H asked the King.
~ wanted to tell you" replied the
man, that | will not deliver your
message"

ed the King"
'No, / will not"
"Why not?" asked his Malesty.
First" replied the Victim. "be-
cause ! don't want to 90, and ] don't
see why I should deliver it for you;
and, secondly, because / nm a Yoruba
man, and he is OF Dahomey, apd the
Yoruba people do not see olStalk to-
the Dahcmey people here nef do they
up there; therefore, ! neither can nor
will deliver your message
The King looked astonished, and,
turning to the executioner, who WAS
ready TO begin his bloody work and
dispatch the messenger, il not the
message, simply said "He is 4 bad
messenger-don't send him." Andrhe
man was let 90 scot.tree. Rather d

Where Alligators are Badly
Needed.
From the Fort Myers Press.

From the Fort Myers Press.
Since the gear 1876 water has not
been so scarce on the cattle range as
it is at the present time, so it is re-
ported.
In the indiscriminate killing Of the
alligators one great source OF supply
Of water has been obliterated from
the cattle country, because when the
gators held a water hole they always
kept the mud pushed up the banks,
and when even hundreds of cattle
would come to the gator wallows to
drink, and by crowding and pushing
succeeded in filling it up, Mr.. Alligator
and his family would soon repair the
damage by digging and pushing back
the mud.
Now the cattle stand around these
old wallows, which are almost entire
~ dried up, waiting patientlyfor rain.
AS it is, they exist only by eating the
grass nights and early mornings that
is heavily coated with dew.
II rain does not come soon the cat
tie men viii be forced TO dig for water,
and, as there ate a great many thous-
and cattle it would seem an almost
impossible task to supply them. An
other plan is to drive them to the
rivers, but on account Of the numbers
Of the cattle scattered over hundreds
Of miles it would be an endless task,
and could scarcely be accomplished in
time to do any good. A.great many
cattle are going into the everglades N
search Of water.

In the cycle OF phenomena present.
ed by the life Of man, the animal, no
more moral end is discernihle than in
that presented by the lives Of the
deer. However imperfect the relics Of
prehistoric men may be, the evidence
which they afford clearly tends TO the
conclusion that for thousands OF
years, before the origin Of the Oldest

Of a very low type. They strove with

they prayed upon things weaker or

they were no more to be praised or

As among these, SO among primitive
men, the weakest and stupidest went
to the wall, while the toughest and
shrewdest, those who were best fitted
to cope with their circumstances, but
not the best in any other sense, sur
vived. Life was a continual free fight,
and beyond the limited and temper
airy relations of the family, the Hob
besian wal OF each against all was the
normal state Of existence. The hui

By reason of the state of chronic in
credulity in which many men pass their
lives they miss half the good of this
world. They seem to think that doubt
and unbelief are proofs of wisdom, and
through fear of being deceived reject
much that is true and good. To such
minds the statement that DR.. Pierce 8

proven cure for all diseases caused by
torpid liver, bad blood or scrofulous

nation. They do not believe it, appar-
emily, because we say 80; and yet what
more, or less, than this can we dop We
know the facts, and if we did not make
public the great value of this remedy
few would profit by it. We try to do
