Across his brOnzed face there comes
look of determination, and, with
quick orders to the seamen, the craft il
put about and all sail made for the
nearest harbOr, where in apparent safe
ty the anchor is dropped, and the hardy
mariners watch the approaching storm
with defiance
The storm bursts
The decks have been cleared, the
sails close furled. and all ordinary pre-
paratiOns made for an emergency.
The storm increases, but all seem
safe.
But see ! the vessel gives a sudden
lurch, turns quickly about, and away
she goes!
The anchor chain has broken
This mighty ship might have ridden
safely, but for one weak link in that
anchor chain
The strength of the chain is no great
er than the strength gifts weakest link.
On the sea of life, how many men are
wrecked because of the unsupported
weakness of link in the chain ofhealth
~One weak vital organ in the body!
The mystery of death is even greater
than the mystery of life. We think the
links of our chain are strong, but we
too seldom critically examine them for
ourselves, and never really kROw that
they will bear the strain that we put
upon them.

Il don't think / would advise a girl To

OF failures is so much larger than that of
successes. Why, leaving out the Moies-

ON your fingers the ambitious Young girls
who have become successful stars. The
great cause of failure is vanity, both with
women and men. A girl saws to herself

venezuela was almost destroyed and 70 600
OF its inhabitants killed by the EARTHQUAKE
of 1872, within the limits of half a min

recurring shocks last for weeks, months

For example, the Calabrian earthaualSe
of February, 1888, was not quite finished
before December, 1856, and it is a com
mon observation that the preliminary
shock is usually followed by one OF greater
severity, and this in its turn by Others

Eight hundred thousand barrels of
apples are shipped from this country to
England, and the papers over. there
say they arrive in prime condition if
properly packed. The growth of
choice table apples and pears have been
made highly profitable by men who
have made a study of the proper cult
walton of the fruit. When we ship at
profit our manufactured goods and
machinery, and compete successfully
with the folks over there in their own
markets, this country will be doing a
work which will add very materially
to our prosperity.

Watterson's Return Home.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. LIN spite of a
heavy rain just at the hour of his arrival
Hon. Henry Watterson had a most en-
thusiastic reception upon his return to his
home here at $50 o'clock tonight. At
Liedenkranz hall the speeches of the
evening were made, but the pyrotechnlc
display there had been partly spoiled by
rain, but nearly 5000 people had gather
ed, packing the hall and fire works were
soon forgotten in the speaking. Watterson
was introduced by Mayor Jacobs in a neat
speech of welcome and followed with an
address lasting over an hour. He was
succeeded on the platform by Hon. Boyd
Winchester, minister to Switzerland, who
is on a visit to his home and friends here.
Both speakers were roundly applauded
throughout.

VIII Not be Limited.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. lit is authori-
t%atively stated this evening by members Of
the Indiana state Republican committee
that the national committee has notified
them that owing to the demand for Mr..
Blaine in the East his appointments for
Indiana would be confined to two speeches
instead of five as at first announced.
Chairman Huston, in an interview with
an Associated Press correspondent to-
night on the subject, said the cancellation
OF three of Mr.. Blaine's Indiana dates
was a great disappointment to the state
committee and would be disappointing to
thousands of Republicans throughout that
state who have anticipated hearing Mr..
Blaine.
LATER.-The protest of Chairman
Huston of the state committee as to the
cancellation of any of Mr.. Blaine's APP
pointments in Indiana evidently received
respectful consideration at the hands of
the national committee, for a telegram
received tonight is in effect an unquali-
fed recindment of the notification limiting
Mr.. Blaine's appointments in Indiapa.

Yellow Fever Report.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 1.-The scourge
has increased in force again and the new
cases reported for the t~wenty-four hours
number ninety nine, of which twenty-five
we're whites and seventy-tour colored. There
were ten deaths. Total number of cases
to date, 275; total deaths, 264.
The mercury last night fell nearly to the
frost line. 1t is cool tonight, but frost
before the last OF October would break
the record for the past sixteen years.
The Citizens Association to-day re-
ferred to the executive committee the
question of asking people throughout the
country to discontinue contributions. To
date there have been received here 1885,
867; the disbursements have been $74,-
Ats, leaving a balance on hand of $l62,-
3S9. The demands of the INDECENT have
steadily grown from $40, 900 to $32, 900
per week, but it is believed that they will
now decrease with more stringent meas
ures to prevent imposition on the part of
those who have practiced the g~rossest
frauds to obtain more rations than they
were entitled to.
New ORLEANS, Oct. ALI shotgun
