thing in Milton finer in the way %
imagination than can in1 in Paul's
illustrations drawn from the amphi-
theater. There was nothing in Robert
Emmett pleading for his life, or in Ed

and began his speech, saying: Il think
myself happy, King Agrippa, because 1
shall answer for myself this day."
repeat, that a religion that can capt
ure a man like that must have some
power in it. 1t is time our wiseacres
stopped talking as though all the brain
of the world were opposed to Christian
ity. Where Paul leads, we can afford to
follow. 1 am glad to know that Christ
has, in the different ages of the world,
had in His diScipleship Mozart and q
Handel in music; a Raphael and .
Reynolds in painting; an Angelo and a
CanOva in sculptures; a Rush and
Harvey in medicine; q Grosius and a
Washington in craftsmanship; Black
stone, Marshall and Kent in law, and
the time will come when the religion OF
Christ will conquer all the Observa-
tories and universities, and phi
losophy will, through her telescope, be-
hold the morning star of Jesus, and in
her laboratory see that ''all things work
together for good" and with her geo
logical hammer discern the Rock Of
Ages" Oh, instead of covering and

fore US, and talks of religion as though
it were a pusillanimous thing-instead
of that, let US take out our New Tesla
ment and read the story of Paul at
Rome, or come and see this city for
ourselves, and learn that it could have
been no weak gospel that actuated such
man, but that it is an all-conquering
gospel. Aye, for all ages the power Of
God and the wisdom of God unto saliva
ton.
Men, brethren and fathers! thank
you for this opportunity of preaching
the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
The churches of America salute you.
Upon you who are, like US, strangers in
Rome, pray the protecting and jour
neying care of God Upon you who are
resident here, pray grace, mercy and
peace from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ. After tarrying here few
days we resume our journey for Palestine,
and we shall never meet again, either
in Italy, or America, or what is called
the Holy Land, but there is holier
land, and there we may meet, saved by
the grace that in the same way saves
Italian and American. and there in that
supernal cline, after embracing Him
who, by His sufferings on the hill back
of Jerusalem, made our Heaven possible,
and given salutation to our own kindred
whose departure broke our hearts on
earth, we shall, think, seek out the
travelling preacher and mighty hero of
the text who marked out His journey
through Macedonia and Achaia to Je-
rusalem, saying:
after l have been there, must also
see Rome"

How to Cook nried Frnits.

If you will consider that dried fruit is
fresh fruit, with the water dried out of
it and more or less dirt gathered upon
its surface, two things will occur to you
to do to make it become something like
fresh fruit. First wash it thoroughly,
using if necessary, several changes OF
water, but be sure to get the fruit clean.
Then put it to soak in clean water, COM
pletely covering the fruit, and an inch
of depth above it. Soak at least twelve
hours, and if the fruit does not plump
out very full keep it in until it will
swell more. Don't change the water in
soaking, and cook in the water the fruit
was soaked in. Boil gently for twenty
minutes, then set on back of stove to
simmer until the fruit is done and ten
der, using sugar in cooking according 10
taste. Mixed apri,ots, peaches and
prunes, with a few tart plums to lend
spiciness, make delicious dish.-LouiS-

Let Children Have Pet DOGS.

"Do you know" says doctor, ''that q
young dog is the healthiest thing in the
world to bring up young child with? I
don't mean that the dog shall actually
sleep with the child, but be with it con-
tinually-be played and romped with.
There is something in the mere healthy
animalism of the dog which goes to make
the child healthy. For dog can catch
every disease from a child, and just by
being about can often decrease the yio-
lence of an attack-take off some of the
disease, you know. But a child never
takes disease from a dog. OF course
the dog should be accommodated to tho
infant. A delicate baby should not be
with rough and vigorous young dog.
Nor should a healthy and hearty child
have too small companion puppy. To
carry out this principle still further, a
dog is Of great benefit in a consumptive's
room. For one in the early stages Of
that disease the constant presence. of a
dog is the best thing know of."-Chi-

A MILLION OF BABIES.
Following Them Up from Their Birth {
Their Death.

Following Them Up from Their Birth to
Their Death.
Take your pencil and follow me while
we figure out on what will happen to the
1000, 900 of babies that have been born
in the last 1000, 900 seconds. l believe
that is about the average-"one every
time the clock ticks" October 1, 1890,
if statistics don't belle US, we will have
lost 10000 of these little ''prides of the
household" A year later SO, 600 more will
be keeping company with those who have
gone before. At the end of the third
year we find that $4,000 more have
dropped by the wayside. The fourth
year they have become rugged little
darlings, not nearly so susceptible to in
fantile diseases, only 5000 having sue
cumbed to the rigors imposed by the
master. By the time they have arrived
at the age of twelve years but a paltry
few hundred leave the track each year.
After three score years have come and
gone we find less trouble in counting
the army with which we started in the
fall of 1889.
OF the 1000, 900 with which we began
our count but $4,000 remain; $50, 000
have gone the way of all the world and
the remaining few have forgotten that
they ever existed. At the END Of so, or,
taking our mode of reckoning by year
1869, A. D., there are still $1,000 gray
haired, shaky old grannies and grand
fathers, toothless, hairless and happy.
In the year 1884 our 1000, 600 babies
with which we started in 1889, will have
dwindled to an insignificant 223 help
less old wrecks stranded on the, shores
of Time" In 1892 all but seventeen
have left this mundane sphere forever,
while the last remaining wreck will
probably, in seeming thoughtlessness,
watch the sands filter through the hour

the age of los. What bounteous sup

Spinach has direct effect upon the
kidneys. The common dandelion, used
as greens, is excellent for the same
trouble. Asparagus purges the blood.
Celery acts admirably upon the nervous
system, and is cure for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beets and turnips are excellent appe-

Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shalots,
all of which are similar, possesses me-

regarded by the French as an excellent
restorative in debility of the digestive

GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS.

The oldest maxim under the sun;
And May and Jennie and Belle and Kate
Go trooping out at the garden gate;
TrOoping out for an hours fun,
Nodding their thanks to Grandmother Gum.

Hearts as clean as the dear white snow,
Out in the garden at high-spy,
Mother watches them with a sigh;

-Four little maidens fair-ah, me!
Tired as maidens fair can be;
Mother scolds, in her careful way,
Till four little maidens slip away;
And four little hearts, briInful of fun,
A refuge seek in Grandmother Gum.
Eight little lips that do not speak,
Tenderly press her faded cheek,
Till grandma signs, and wipes her eyes,
And four little maidens, all surprise,
Lean their arms on grandma's knee,
And argue their case right slxiIlfully
ais It wrong, grandma, TO fall asleep.
Where the sun and shadows play bopeepi
Is it naughty running the whole day long
Where the brook is singing the go0iest songf
Is it naughty having the mostest funE'
She smiles, and they know their case is won

And four little babies, cooling sweet
Lie ll day long at their grandma's feet;
Sometimes naughty and ready TO fret,
Till four little mothers are all upset;
Grandma alone says: Its only fun
Girls will be girls - dear Grandmother Gum.

Each moves on to the mile post nigh;
Living over the dear old days,
Each one stepped into mothers place;

about three years ago, and came on at
once as far West as l could get, to San
Francisco. 1 had been in this latter
city but few months, when, one day,
while walking along Kesrny street,
was seized once more with that deadly
chill and horror. AS though running
from an enemy, dashed into a saloon
and drank until the bar-keeper re-
fused to let me have any more liquor.
There were other places, though, where
the condition of the customers was
not so tenderly considered, and /
had no difficulty in finding them and
getting all the vile poison l asked for.
1 remember staggering down to the
water front, and then all was blank
until opened myeyes and found myself
with a bandaged head and slashed
shoulder in the surgical ward of the city
and county hospital. had to lie on my
left side because of the cut, and, so
lying, could see that in the bed next
to mine there was propped up boy with
the bed-clothes raised over frame
work about his legs. 1 learned after
ward that the framework covered where
his legs should have been, for the little
chap had had them both cut off. He
was a news-boy, he told me, and had
tried to get on car to sell his papers,
when he missed his footing and fell be-
meath the wheels. He did not know
what he was going to do without his
legs, he said, but he guessed things
would turn out all right, especially as
he had survived the shock of the opera
ton. He was very pale, but very pa
tient; very helpless. but very hopeful;
and the doctor, in making his rounds in
the afternoon, said there was no reason
why he should not be using go-eart in

SACRAMENTO, Aug. P. - Adelberg Devendorf visited the house of Mrs. Ziegler last night. She complained of being sick and he advised her to take quinine. She got a bottle and he poured out three grains for her and took the same quantity for himself. In a short time both were dead. Deyendorf's brother states the couple had been intimate and that Mrs. Ziegier had threatened to kill herself if Devendorf did not marry her.

THR copies of the messages sent and received regarding the alleged "opin- ion" of the United States, which were published in recent issue of the DAILY EPITAPH, have excited general comment. The promulgation by Gov ernor Wolfley and his organs of this extraordinary "opinion" excited but a smile of incredulity in the initiated, and but little credence was placed in its authenticity. None familiar with official routine in such matters be- lieved for an instant that the Attorney General had so far exceeded his pre- negatives as to interfere in the man agement of another branch of the government without due formality This formality, it was we'll known, had not been complied with, therefore the assurance that the opinion must be bogus. That belief was confirmed by the messages.

This glorious centenary of Wash iugton's inauguration has shown that the quality for which the father of his country was most celebrated-truth- fulness-has not been obliterated en- tirely from tine American people. Take, for instance, our new Governor. His attitude is heroic, but not engag- ing. Itwould have been more becom- ing in him to have covered his face and kept silent. that his hardihood in truth telling might have been better appreciated It is hard to say whether he should be more condemned for his veracisy, or admired for the fire and iervor of his imagination. Better that he should inhume his nose in . vol ums of the Attorney Generals' opin- ions for the betterment of his under standing.

But while the truthfulness of the "opinion" was felt to be of an uncer- tain quality, the feeling was strong that Governor Wolfey had received an opinion from his immediate supe- rior, Secretary Noble, that was not al all to his liking This opinion was that the Fifteenth legislature expired by limitation on the Fist of March There is no doubt that such advice was received from Secretary Noble. Just how that counsel could have been perverted into the opinion" it is im- possible to say without consultation with the Governor and his advisers. The reasons for so doing, however, can be compTehended easily. They may be summed up-greed of office. They have realized from the inception of the move for statehood that if Arizona were admitted their lease of official life would be short indeed. Feeling thus, their conspicuous unfitness for the suffrages of their fellow citizens is demonstrated by concerted attempt to defy the will of the people of Ari- zona as evinced in the act passed by the last legislature authorizing a con- stitutional convention.
 The mass of the citizens of Arizona are anxious to see her out of her non- age, weary of being eunuchs in the harem of national politics, eager to take upon themselves the duties of viriie political manhood, believing that they can acquit themselves creditably. This praiseworthy ambi- ton is now opposed, and the consum- nation of their hopes delayed by clique of federal office holders, who as candidates for elective offices would stand the same chance of election as the traditional dog in search of pleas ure did in trying to emulate his more able competitors.
