The Most SerViceable Wood.

The vegetable world is being ram
sacked" said furniture manufacturer,
the other day, ''to furnish rare and
curious or new and striking woods for
decorative purposes. The result is that
many pretty effects are produced, which
charm the eye for time. But my ex-
perience is that the good old-fashioned
mahogany outdoes them all for durabil-
ity. A few years of wear does not lend
this wood a damp, dusty appearance
that no amount of vanishing, polish
ing or scraping will restore to its
original beauty; but age brings out its
better qualities; it grows darker, richer
and is more easily cleaned, not absorb
ing dust like more coarsely grained
woods, but year by year becoming cap
able of a higher polish and q deeper
glow. IN Y Tribune.

Truly Admirable Grace.

It is one thing to be right ones self;
it is another thing to win others to the
right. One person who holds tirml y
to essential truth may make that truth
offensive to others by his bigotry in its
defense. Another person who holds
with like firmness to the same truth
may make error winsome to others by
his manner Of denOuncing bigOted de-
tenders of truth. In each case the one
who holds to the truth is all right for
himself, and all wrong for others
Bigotry for the truth may be means
of promoting error; and SO may de-
nunciation of bigotry. Holding the
truth in such love as will make one
loving towards both bigots and skep-
tics is as rare grace as it is admir-
able.-S. S. Times.

One of the troublesome questions
which architects have never been able
to settle is the placing of permanent
foundations under large buildings.
The latest experiment, according to
the american Architect. is to cover
before commencing the footings-
the entire area Of the excavation of the
building with a thick stratum of con-
crete, laid directly upon the top of the
clay hard-pan. The depth OF this
course is nearly two feet, and its OBJ
iect is to strengthen the clay that tho
settlement may be reduced to mini
mum.

Mind reading is not such queer
thing, after all. The average wife

An old LAWYER had occasion to stay
at the residence of a professional
brother, who was an old bachelor. In
the morning the host was up and ready
for breakfast, but his guest was about
an hour late. The bachelor, wishing to
reprove him, remarked that his motto,
like the Duke of Wellingtons, was that
''the first turn should be a turn out. ="
The Benedich, with ready wit, replied
that his motto was that lone good turn

Tie recent foods have
wrought havoc and desOlat Oh
in many parts % our country.
Bridges on many of the princi-
pal lines Of railroad have been
washed away and traffic aud
transportation greatly hindered.
Along the Conelnaugh river III
Pennsylvania the results have
been most disastrous. On this
river was situated the largest
artificial lake in the country,
and when the surging waters
Of the flood poured into it from
the up country ihe dam gave
wav and iccnes Of desOIatiOn
and death beyond descr. ption
followed. The town Of Johns
town, Pa, WAS swept from the
face Of the earth almost in an
instant and Il great number OF
il. unfortunate inhabi tants per-
i-hrd with it. The following
tclc5raphIc report To the Viii
In'ugton Star gives some idea
OF The horn J|3 results:
JouNsToWN, Pa, June, 3rd.-As
vet there j. no telling how many
lives have been lost. Adjutant Gen
cral Hastings, who has charge of
everything, stated this morning that
he supposed that tuCIc were ut least
two thousand people under the burn
fng debris, but the only way to find
out how many lives were lost was
To- take Il census of the people now
living, and subtract that from the
census before the flood. 1t j. Il most
distressing sight to see the relatives
of people who are supposed to be
lost standing around Watching each
body as it is pulled out, and acting
more like maniaCS than sane people.
The water has subsidized to II great
extent and the streets in the main
part of town are free from water.
The falling water has lail bare the
terrible work of the flood, and the
full extent Of the terrible disaster
is only being asccrtaincl now. The
streets are one sickcuing, foul smell
ing mass Of wood and debris, and
the work Of searching for dead bodies
has only begun.
The latest estimates put the loss of
life at from ten to twelve thousand.
1t is impossibl" to get any account
Of the number lost.
Thousands of dollars have been
raised all over the country and
sent TO the relief OF those who
were spared, and a sanitary COM
mission has been sent by Presi-
dent Harrison to direct the re-
moving and bnrying of the de
caylng animal flesh, to prevent
Il pestilence following even
worse than II G calamity.

besides, the farmer Is today
truly in a better condition than
the factory hands AID laborers
ia all other vacations OF life.
Mythology tells us that Hercu-
les cnuld never conquer Aulius,
son of rellus, until lie allu cd
him away from mother earth,
from which he received his
strength. So The honest, indus
trious and intelligent farmer
can never fail till he Is allured
into other professions.
Sth. Farming inspires a love
for freedom and liberty in its
broadest sense, therefore il is
an antidote To the centfalizing
tendencies Of the day. There
fore they are justified in form
ing alliances or any similar or
gan: cations to check such tend
ences. Our Constitnt on has al
ways found its staunrhest defen-
de"s in the farming class. 1t
makes no difference where the
farmer is, nor under what con-
ditions and circumstances he
may be, vet he ; always the
gu ckest to resent oppression

9th. There never was a time
when thee was such tenden-
Icy to skepticism. Farming is
the antjdntc to this, for a con

naturally leads its vOtar;cs up
to a noble religion. The ia "ner
with heart and sou! and the
least sensibility "finds God eve
rywiere aud in everything"
Lastly, in farming Tor rathet

Much Ado About Nothing.

1t is manifested that there is a lack o
harmony in the republican party of So
nth Dakota. Senator Moody criticised
for many things, but especially for al
occurrence at the White house on Tues
day. 1t seems that Moody had asked
and induced Governor Mellette to make
another visit with him to the White
house, ostensibly to urge the appoint
ment of several applicants to Office
Governor Mellete finally consented, and
when they were in the presence of the
president, with several other South Da'
kotans standing by, Senator Moody
insinuated that Governor Mellette had
dragged him Moody to the White
house against his will. He is reported
as having said "Mr. President, o
course l know that you are going to max,
these appointments. but Governor Mel
lette is staying here waiting for the ap.
pointments, to be made, and he will
not go home until they are setteled."
The president replied 81 am very
sorry to have thus Inconvenience Gov,
ernor Mellette, but | cannot be hurried
in these cases"
Those who were present say that the
senator's manner, even more than his
words, contained open insult to Gov
ernor Mellette, and the latter afterwards
called at the White house and explained
to the president that Senator Moody
had misrepresented the case in stating
that he, the governor. was waiting fol
patronage for his friends. This incident
is cited as but n of many to show tha'
there is trouble brewing in the new
state, just as there has always beer
trouble in other states between the abb,
and ambitious leaders of the parties.-
