THE TIDE is IN.

The boats lay stranded on the beach,
Tangled with seaweed, dank ar gree'''
A desolate and dreary scene,
Far as the eye could reachi
The tide was out.
How changed the view when day Is oohe'
The boats rode gaily on the deep,
Their white sails nodding as In Sleep
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was III.
Thus many a life, In want or woe,
Lies stranded on barren shore;
Rut God is God for evermore;
Take courage, for we know
The ide comes in.
And from the rocks and shoals,
We sail upon sunlit sea;
Night opens on eternity
Sweet rest for weary souls
The tide is In.

She J'ined Him.
TSt. Paul Pioneer Press.l

Judge Brsbin, at an early time, was
coming to st. Paul by stage from Hastings.
1t was raw and cold, and the Judge was
aching to open a bottle of champagne
which thoughtful friend had placed in
his valise at the IN, ment of parting. The
obstacle was the presence of a lady on the
opposite seat, whom the gallant Judge did
not wish to shock, and who chanced to be
Mrs Jane Grey Swisshelm. At length the
longing for a ' little drop of something
cheering" became too strong, and, leaning
over, he suggested: Madame, / have
bottle of champage in my valise 1t is 30
cold and chilly,-won't you have glass
with me?"
You can't draw the cork too quick for
me-" was Mrs. Swisshelm's promp encour-
agement, "and then | have a satchel fall of
nice red apples Ill divide with you"

A Ship Full of Engines.
From the American Architect

The largest steam engine in the world
is that constructed for the nsw Italian
cruiser Sardegna. 1t really consists of four
triple expansion engines which can be used
together or separately, as desired, the
entire com bination being capable of devel-
oping force of $4,000 nominal or $4,000
actual horse power. The ship is driven by
twin screws, and two engines are connected
to the shaft of each screw, but one screw
can be stopped altogether if the vessel is to
be turned around, or, for ordinary sailing,
one engine only may be used for each
screw; but, in case it should be necessary
to increase the speed, the other engines can
at once be connected and the full power
exerted. AS u ual with naval machinery,
a large number of auxiliary engines are
nsed. On the Sardegna there are no less
than twenty compound auxiliary engines
for feeding the boilers, keeping up the
draught, and so on, besides great variety
of single-cy Under machines.

Lottery Loans.


san Fran CISCO Chronicle.
A Paris dispatch says that Russia has had
astonishing success in raising her new loan
of 8O,OOO,OOO rubles among her own people
by means of lottery subscriptions, such sub
scriptions amounting to thirty-one times
the sum asked for and that another lottery
to raise S15O,OO0,0O0 for military purposes
is to be announced at once. If this is also
successful, says the dispatch, Russia will
have tri1mphantly solved her one inces-
SAINT chronic difficulty, that of getting ready
money
This reversiOn to the financial methods of
centuries ago would seem to indicate that
the modern philosophers and students of
economies may not have made as much
progress in the science of finance as they
have imagined. From the year 1880 to the
beginning of the century nearly every
nation in Europe was in the habit of avail
ing itself of the universal desire. to get
something for nothing for the purpose of re-
plenishing its Golfers. The first lottery of
this kind, so far as known, was instituted
at Florence in the year named The first
lottery in France was established in 1889,
nine years later, and in Germany the first
one was opened in 1899 The earliest
English Parliamentary lottery was estab-
lished in 1909, a. d the system continued
until 1923.
The United States, too, have used the
lottery plan, though not as q purely gov
ernmental institution. Many of the States
have, from time to time, licensed lotteries
for their benefit, and many public improve
ments have been paid for with money
secure in that way. Now, however, there
are twenty-six of the American States in
which lotteries are expressly forbidden by
constitutional enactment, and in most OF
the States dealing in lottery tickets is an
offense against the law.
Russia has taken an effectual method,
apparently to raise money, and where the
credit of q nation is as poor as that of Rus
| sia has been there may be some excuse for
The adoption of such a method. The
| United states has no need to resort to such
an expedient; in fact the only use we
| could make of national lottery would be
| to distribute the surplus in our II easury.

Speaker of the National House of
Representatives.

a native of the chief city of the Pine Tree
State, where he was born October 18, 1889.
lie graduated at Bowdoin College in the
class of 1860, subsequently served in the
United States Navy as assistant paymas'er,

Maine House of Representatives and of the
State Senate in 1870, II, and 72. In 1873
and the three years following he served as
city solicitor of Portland, following which
he was elected member of the Forty fifth
Congress in which body he has held seat
continuously since.
During the late campaign Mr. Reed, re-
spending to the urgent request of the Re-
publican State Committee. journeyed from
his distant home and addressed the people
of Montana gathered in mass meeting at a
half-dozen or more principal points. His
audiences everywhere crowded and over
flowed the largest public halls, and his
splendid speeches enkindled an enthusiasm
in the contest that spread throughout the
State and nerved the Republicans to re-
newed efforts for the victory won in No
vember The fruits of the triumph against
the strongest political ard monetary COM
bination ever known in the Northwest, in
cluded the election of Congressman, every
State officer below that of Governor, and a
Legislature fairly and hon estly Republican.
Montana in some degree expressed its
appreciation of the great services rendered
the State by Mr.. Reed, and particularly the
friendliness of the Republican majority,
through Mr.. Carter, whose vote was cast
for the Maine statesman for Speaker of the
House of Congress.

OBITUARY.
Death of Rev. Dr. David TrumbuI

Death of Rev. Dr. David Trumbull.
 The Rev. Dr. David Trumbull died at Val paraiso, Chili, about February 4, aged 70. He was a descendant of the elder Gov. Trum- bull of Connecticut and was born in Colches- ter in November, 1919. He was graduated at Yale college in 1S42, and after completing 8 course of theological study at Princeton was ordained June 20, 1S45, and went to Valparaiso under commission from the Foreign Evangelical society, of which Dr. Robert Baird was then secretary. This has been his home for more than forty years, but while enrolled as a missionary of the Presbyterian board, and regarded as in some sense 8 representative of the American Seamen's Friend society, he has been chiefly occupied as pastor of an inde- pendent church maintained by English and American residents. He married Miss Jane Fitch, niece of Dr. E. T. Fitch of Yale, who survives him, with three daugh- ters and two sons, one of whom, William, Is now member of the senior class at the Yale Law school. Two sons, also graduates of Yale, died in early manhood-David, who lost his life in New London harbor in 1878, while attempting to rescue a drowning child, and Stephen, who died from yellow fever at sea, on the voyage from Panama to Valpa- raiso. In his long life as pioneer mission ary to South America he has done work as staunch defender of evangelical truths, and an interpreter of American views of civil and religious liberty to nation less advanced than this, which, however, has made large progress since his life work there began.

PHG0Tr HIN PARIS.

The Authorities are Taking Steps for His Extradft1on-He Repeats His Confession.
 LONDON, February 27.-In the Housesof Commons to-day the Right Hon. Henry Matthews, Secretary of State for Home Af- fairs, stated that the authorities were taking steps to secure the extradition of Pigott from Paris. MT. Matthews also said he had no information regarding Houston which at present would justify him in preventing Houston from leaving the country.
 The opposition will not raise formal dis cussion i'll Parliament on the Parnell com- mission, but the Nationalists will closely question the government regarding the as- sistance given by the authorities to the Times.
 Mr.Parnell arrived in the court room early Attorney General Webster stated to the court that MT. Shannon, the Times Dublin solicitor, had received. a letter to-day from Pigott, who is in Paris. The letter was not in Pigott's writing. Mir. Shannon had immediately of the receipt of the letter. The attor- ney general then read the letter. It was dated Saturday, and contained the con- fession Pigott made to MT. Labouchere on that day at the latter's residence Pigott added that he desired fully to disclose that he fabricated the alleged facsimile of Mr. Parnell's letter published in the Times and the other letters he had furnished to that paper.
 Pigott's arrest in Paris is regarded as immi- nent, but it is doubtful whether the French government will regard forgery as an extra ditable offence.

Dangerous Use of Strong Purgatives

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter Waters, which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and often de- stroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels Indeed their cathartc action is directly caused by the irritation of the bowels which they produce, Their action should be soothing aBd stimulating, instead of irritating. A continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. This often ends in dangerous disease; The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly recommended aperi- ent, laxative and dureic because it's action is due solely to its solvent and stimulating properties It much preferable to all strong purgatives and Bitter Waters.
