A FAMOUS ORDER.

Historical Data Concerning the Brothers
of st. John of Jerusalem.
In the eleventh century Palestine
was the scene of unwonted animation;
the Crusades were commencing, and in
the spring of 1896 six million persons
were said to be in movement toward
Palestine. This must, however, be a
monstrous exaggeration. Crusade mad
ness seized upon many who seemed
little likely to fall victims to it, and
rich and poor, young and old. feeble
and strong, men and women, left their
homes to wend their painful and sor-
rowful way to the Holy Land, to press
the soil once trodden by their Saviour's
feet, and to rest their eyes on the
scenes amid which He lived and died.
1.-The most distant islands and
savage countries" says William of
Malmesbury, ''were inspired with the
ardent passion. The Welshman left
his hunting, the Scotchman his fellow
ship with vermin, the Dane his drink
ing party, and the Norwegian his raw
fish" Pilgrimages to the Holy Land
had been in great favor from an early
time in the history of the Christian
church, and it had always been
reckoned peculiar mark of piety to
leave home and journey to Jerusalem.
The Crusades were only pilgrimages
better organized and on a larger scale,
and instead of few struggling thou
sands comprised vast multitudes. Need
l add that the condition of the pilgrims
was often deplorable, and many, after
surviving the perils of sea and land,
and when almost in sight of the Holy
Sepulchre, were cut off by robbers or
died of wounds or diseases? At
Jerusalem there were then living
some Italian merchants of Amalfi,
who daily witnessed scenes that
wrung their hearts, and, with the
consent of the Caliph of Egypt, they
built a hospital for the reception and
relief of pilgrims. This nursing COM
munity was at first known as the Hos
pitalier Brothers of St. John the Bap-
tist of Jerusalem, though some au-
thorities contend that it was original
ly dedicated to St. John the Almoner.
Before long, however, it was placed
under the protection of St. John the
Baptist, and it bears his name to this
day. The nursing community threw
itself into its work with impassioned
zeal, knowing no weariness and recog-
nizing no distinction of race or creed
the only passport to its help was to
need it; and it has been in that Catholic
spirit that the work has been ever
since carried on-''for the glory Of
God and the good OF man." The fame
of the order rapidly spread-rich gifts
poured in upon it, many recruits joined
its ranks, its power increased, and the
good it did augmented. ed.-Gentleman 8

why Young Men. Unless Specially Gifted.
Should Not Enter Them.
We Americans are free and equalists
n theory, but not in practice. Thou
sands of American fathers educate
their sons to become lawyers and doc
tors because they consider the profess
sions of law and physic more ''genteer'
than any mechanical trade. Hence
there is always a glut of physicians
and "counselors'' in the market, more
than half of whom live in state of
genteel penury, with small prospect Of
leaving behind them when they die
assets enough to cover their debts and
funeral expenses.
To make a fortune at the bar, in
these days, man must have extraor-
Ginary talent, or else be unusually
fortunate in his business connections.
Many good lawyers, we'll read, shrewd
and persevering, fail to acquire COM
petence. For young men OF mediocre
abilities, who have no controlling busf-
ness connections, there is barely a
chance to earn a hand-to-mouth liveli-
hood in the legitimate walks Of the
profession, and there are hundreds OF
attorneys, of low mental and moral
caliber, who, to save themselves from
being starved. out of the profession,
resort to system of ''sharp practice"
which is only one degree less rascally
than pocket-book dropping and patent
safe swindling.
1t is the same in the healing art. A
few eminent physicians and surgeons
great pathologists and bold and sue
cessful operators-command enormous
fees and accumulate wealth rapidly.
A large number support their families
comfortably by their practice, laying
up little or nothing, however, for a
rainy day; while still larger proper
tion either hover on the verge of
pauperism, or resort to quackery, or
worse than quackery, for a living. Yet
multitudes of young men, very moder-
ately supplied with brains, and with
their small modicums of intellect by no
means overstocked with knowledge.
are continually shouldering their way
into the temple of Galen, regardless of
the fact that there is scarcely standing
room for the present occupants.
The clerical calling, too. has its full
share of mediocrity and the grade be-
low. Men who have not the gift to
teach any thing well. though they as
sumo to teach their fellows the way to
Heaven, are by no means rare among
the clergy.
All the liberal professions are over
stocked. We have broad country,
and fruitful soil, which, as general
thing, pays better for cultivation than
law, physic or theology. - N. I.

awkward for Kate to go back to the Orchard
Farm as a visitor; and you may be sure
Harry offered no obstacles to his arrange
ments, though [ am free to confess Kate
made blushing objection to the hurried
ceremony, which was 50 transparently in
sincere that 1t did not delay it an hour
Then the Captain sent the young couple off
for i weeks trip to the seaside, and started
home to tell Martha how efrectually he had
stopped those bothersome letters.
= =
There were grand doings at the Orchard
Farm. From far and near the guests had
come by boat and carriage; under the big
apple trees long lines of tables were spread
with snowy cloths and laden with the choic-
est viands; on the lawn the village band
played, making up in energy what they
lacked IN science; and from the flag-pole on
the summer-house yards of gay bunting
fluttered in the gentle breeze. For on this
day Harry Winthrop was bringing home
his bride.
But question if all the bright speeches
and all the gay music were half as sweet to
his father as the hideous screams of the
steam-whiStleS from the passing vessels
with which his brother captains saluted
their happy old comrade.
And Kate, as she hangs on her husbands
arm and gazes on the fair scene, whispers:
1.-THE wounds are healed at last, Harry, and
for all the long years to come there shall be
in our lives no North and no South.''
But Daniel Winthrop's mind was not just
now devoted to the glories of steam-whis-
ties. He stood with his hand ON his boys
shoulder, watching the gay scene around
him; bot suddenly his gaze concentrated on
four figures grouped on the lawn-his wife
and his sons wife, Walter Frobisham and
Gordon Grey, and he said:
"The dead past is burying its dead pretty
fast boy. 1 did not think l could be ever
so grateful to God as am this moment to
see the blue and the gray blended in such
q union. Say, Harry, we must do something
for that fine young fellow, your brother-m-
lava few thousands would be mighty
help to him to start in his new profession.
Yes. would like to do something for him
for Kate's sake, for the best gift your IA
ther ever made you was the chance to bring
that brave girl home as your wife,"
A glad light leaped to the young mans
face-a radiant look that gladdened the IA
theirs eve to behold-and, with laugh that
hut half concealed his earnestness, he re-
plied in the words of the greatest Of al
writer's:
s.She u mine own;
And as rich Ia having such . jewel
AS twenty seas, II an their sands were peAfaAs
The water nectar and the rocks pure gold"

years of his confinement he had har-
bored but one idea-that of revenge.
AS he neared the old school-house

A feeling which the convict had not

He stood rooted to the spot, and tears,
hot tears, moistened his cheeks.
When the bell had ceased its tolling,
he hastily wiped his eyes with the
back of his calloused hand. and ex-

P,TH AND POINT.

Our first impressions are full OF
errors. Time is the only sure proof
reader.-Puck.
Our value in life is not in being
conspicuous, but in being faithful to
the work given US and the trust im-
posed on us.
Great efforts from great motives is
the best definition Of happy life.
The easiest labor is a burden to him
who has no motive for performing it.
1t is not interesting to have a man
tell how rich he might have been If he
had had good luck. 1t is better to
know what he has been able to do
against bad luck.-N. O. Picayune.
There never was a man bora OF
woman brave enough to fight black
cat in dark room voluntarily, with
no one to have knowledge of the en-
counter or to look on and applaud
San Francisco Argonaut.
Ordinarily, the very sin about
which men are most sensitive is the
very one which demands attention and
exposure. The place in the body that

demands most clearly the surgeons art

charms of gracious manners far out
weigh them. The manners that ex-
press a kindly, sympathetic heart,
open to the influence of another per-
sonality as the flower to the sun, and
as unconsciously giving back its own
fragrance, are gift that far outshines
physical graces.
The greatest moral effects are like
those of music-not wrought out by
sharp-sided intellectual propositions,
but melted in by divine fusion, by
words that have mysterious indefinite
ness, fullness of meaning, made living
by sweet voices, which seem to be the
out-throbbing Of angelic hearts.
To be vain is rather mark of hui
mility than pride. Vain men delight
in telling what honors have done them,
what great company they have kept,
and the like; by which they plainly
confess that these honors were more
than their due and such as their friends
would not believe if they had not been
told; whereas a man truly proud thinks
the honor below his merit, and scorns
to boast.
What makes saintliness, in my
view, as distinguished from ordinary
goodness, is certain quality of mag
namity and greatness of soul that
brings life within the circle of the he
roic. To be really great in little things,
to be truly noble and heroic in the in
sipid details of everyday life, is a vir-
tue so rare as to be worthy of canoni-
zation.-Mrs. Stowe.

Garget.

Garget is a very prevalent disease in
the best cows, and is easily provoked
by some simple neglect or oversight.
It is more prevalent in the winter than
in the summer because the cows are
fed more upon grain then and are
more easily attacked by inf1ammatory
diseases. The greatest care should be
exercised in increasing the food of
COWS, for the limit of all but a few is
readily reached, and to overpass this
is to bring on an attack of inflamma-
ton of the udder. Usually indigestion
precedes this, and the indigestion pass
es unnoticed until it is too late. Con-
sequently, great watchfulness is re-
quired in feeding COWS, and the better
they are and the more responsive
to rich feeding. the more this
vigilance is needed. Veterinary sur
geons vary in their treatment of this
disorder, basing it on a mistaken the
ory. The use of iodine is frequently
advised, while the nature of this drug
is such as to make it quite the reverse
of beneficial. Its property of causing
absorption tends to destroy the dis
eased glandular substance and to de-
crease the milking capability of the
udder; thus, while it may prevent in
jury in one way, it is injurious in an
other. The very substance of the
udder by which the milk is produced
is absorbed and destroyed in part and
the gland subjected to atrophy or
shrinkage of its substance. So that
in case of this kind the use of iodine
in any form is to be avoided.
Garget consists of general fever, with
infammatory complications in the
udder Treatment which will subdue
both is the best. Consequently no
local applications alone are to be de-
pended upon, but the general condi-
tion should be relieved by cooling
medicines and febrifuge. A simple
cooling alternative medicine, such as
a pound of epson salts, given at the
onset, is usually effective, and after it
one-ounce doses of hyposulphite of
soda daily for q few days will afford
full relief. An application of tincture
of lobelia, with as much glycerine
mixed, to the hardened glands with
gentle, continued rubbing and knead-
ing, has been recommended by we'll
known veterinarian, but this should
only be used subsequently to the cooling
laxative above mentioned, which Is re-
quired to make this local application
effective. IN. Y. Times.

spicuoLs part in the final cavalry campaign
through Alabama and Georgia under General
Wilson. His regiment was attached to Wins

was led with great GOODNESS and dash
at all times. and especially in its dis
mounted night attack upon the fortlh-
cations covering Columbus, Ca, they and
their gallant companions of the Fourth Iowa
and Tenth Missouri swept irresistibiy over all
obstacles, capturing over 5000 prisoners, fifty
two guns, two gunboats, and an almost incal-
culable amount OF stores. ammunition and
cotton.
Colonel Noble had already won his brevet OF
