another r.medy fer the disorder as we get it
from one Of our exchanges. 1t is as follows !:
"In conversation with a gentleman of large
experience in such matters one day this week
he told as that wood ashes was the best pre-
t.ntive and cure. A p.ilfsl Of ashes should
be put 10 the trough where the hogs are fed

idshe bad tried this plan often and bad re-

what" said !, ''do you mean by
Interval land?'' "Well," he said, .'this
land Is submerged for a part Of the
year; spring freshets come down, and
all these plains are overlooked with the
water, and the water leaves a rich
deposit, and when the waters are gone
the harvest springs up, and there is the
grandest harvest that was ever reaped."
And l instantly thought, 'it is not the
heights of the church and it is not the
heights OF this world that is the scene
of the greatest prosperity, but the soul
over which the.tloods of sorrow have
gone, the soul over which the freshets
OF tribulation have torn their way, that
yields the greatest fruits Of righteous
ness, and the largest harvest for time,
and the richest harvest for eternity"

CONTRAsTED "REMINISCENCES.
But these "reminiscences reach only
to this morning. There will yet be
one more point of tremendous reminis-
cence, and that IS the last hour of life,
when we have to look over all our past
existence. What n moment that will
be! place Napoleon's dying remln-
iscence on st. Helena beside Mrs.
Judson's dying "reminiscences in the har-
Dor of st. Helena, the same island,

"reminiscences was one of delirium,
"Head of the army" Mrs. Judson's
dying "Reminiscences, as she came home
from her missionary toll and her life
of self-sacrilce for God, dying in The
cabin of the ship in the harbor OF st.
Helena, was, ~ always did love the
Lord Jesus Christ" And then, the
historian says, she fell into a sound
sleep for an hour, and woke amid the
songs of angels.
l place the dying Renaissance of
Augustus Caesar against the dying re-
miniscence OF the Apostle Paul. The
dying "reminiscences of Augustus Cesar
was, addressing lis attendants, "Have
l played my part well on the stage OF
lifep"and they answered In the afirma-
tive, and he said, "Why, then, don't
you applaud me?" The dying re-
minlscence of Paul the Apostle was,

there is laid up for ne a crown
of Righteousness, which the Lord.

"But you said these were the very

"For wear and quality-so they

"Then why should not Mrs. Light

"Why, she won't have any other

can wear a size smaller of theirs than
she can of any others"

the first place, to abhreviate' the longi-
tudlnal pressure forward, and then, by
propelling the lateral distention side

ception of the names. Although the
measurements of the woman's foot
called for a Nc. 3, she was fitted per-
fectly with a No. 2. The explanation
IS simply this: There are manufacturers
who, when ordering sets of lasts, in

tie down and have a wirsome wife and
a modest home. He seemed to be quite
contented to rest then with the name
and fame that had already come to him.
Time ran on, and New York did not
possess two happier souls than Henry
NJ. Stanley and his prospective bride.
But with Livingstone dead there
were constant and urgent demands
upon him to resume the exploration OF
Africa. At last he consented to make
another journey. 1t was to be q short
one. he told his sweetheart, and with 1t
would end his career as IN African ex-
plorer.
Anybody can imagine the loving
tenderness with which Henry NJ. STAN
ley and the girl he loved parted, )" con-
tinued the club man. There were
tears on her part and tender. comfort
ing words for his share of that trying
experience. They were to write by
every steamer, and for two years the
happiest and tenderest correspondence
| passed between the young lovers"
Late in November, 1874, Stanley ar
| rived at Zanzibar and began the ar
rangements for his trip inland. The
I little lady in the Fifth avenu mansion
| anxiously read the dispatches about
| her lover, and was cheered by some of
the heaviest letters which ever came
| through the New York Post Office.
! She was delighted beyond expression
when tile cable announced that Stanley
had launched the little boat in which
he circumnavIgated Nyanza Lake, and
| had named it the Lady Alice. That
was her Christian name.
With a lovers eagerness he wrote to
the fair one what he had done, and his
last letter before he lett civilization
told her to be of good cheer. He said
that he didn't expect that his task
would be difficult, and he spoke of the
time when his journey would be ended
and he would return TO her rich and
with his days as a explorer ended for
ever.
He was on the Congo River for nine
months, and reached the Atlantic coast
in 1877. He arrived in London early
in 1873 and eagerly glanced over the
| pile Of letters awaiting him. There
were a dozen or more in the handy writ
ing of his betrothed running up to
| November, 1876, At that time he
reached Nyongwa, the furthest north
ern point attained by Livingstone or
Cameron. The letters ceased in that
month. Down d, eper in the pile was a
letter from a New York club man
which told Stanley that his betrothed
had been married early in 1877 to a
gentleman from Michigan.
The highest honors were showered
upon Stanley, but he grew l~istless, and
apparently without ambition. His
friends say he was stunned at the
shock he had received. He roamed
about London, and his hair daily grew
whittier and winter and his face more
pallid. He went back to Africa and
spent five years there, and first ap-
peared in New York again in 1886.
He only remained her a few weeks, and
then started on his present journey.

CANADA has decided to get rid Of a
troublesome isthmus, in spite of the ex-
ample Of DeLesseps. The Isthmus of
Chignecto, about seventeen miles in
width, separates the Gulf of st. Lawr-
ence and the Bay of Fundy, and
lengthens the distance by water be-
tween Montreal and Boston nearly five
hundred miles. A ship canal could be
built there for about SIS, OOO, 600, but
there is a Troublesome difference in
the tides of the gulf and the bay. 1t
has been decided to build a marine
railway, partly on the Eads Tehuante-
pee plan. The contract has been let
for $1,000, coo, and the work is to be
completed by July /, 1892. The grade
Of this marine railway will be very
easy. AT each terminus there will be
a hydraulic shop lift, similar to some
at London, capable of gently hosting
about a vessel of 1000 tons and her
cargo. This will be the first ship rail-
way Of any length, and its outcome will
be a matter of no little commercial i'm
~portanee. The spectacle of ships on
wheels gliding across the fields and
through the woods will be interesting
to land lubbers however much it may
upset the composure of the old salts"
II this proves successful it will set
tie the question of transit across the
Isthmus of Darien more speedily than
q canal.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Righteousness is the only basis for
justice.
Men who have a good deal to say use
the fewest words.
There is little influence where there
is no great sympathy.
One can journey with delight in the
ideal, but one reposes well only in the
reality.
The world is not to be reformed or
elevated into holiness; it has to be con-
verted.
Be humble, and you are sure to be
thankful-be thankful, and you are sure
to be happy.
The light of friendship is the light of
phosphorous-seen plainest when all
around is dark.
Woman, remember that you are mar
ried to a man and not to a god; be pre-
pared for imperfectiOns.
Once in a while let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty him
and be no particular loss to you.
Fools and sensible men are equally
innocuus. 1t Is in the half-fool and
the half-wise that the danger lies.
No occasion is small or unworthy OF
our best powers which concern God,
Immortality, and the souls Of men.
Toll, feel, think, hope. A man is
sure to dream enough before he dies,
without making arrangements for the
purpose.
When the multitude applaud you, Sc
riously ask yourself what evil you have
done; when they censure you, what
good.
Marrying for beauty is a poor specu-
lation, for any man who sees your wife
has got Just about as much stock in her
as you have.
The easiest thing for our friends to
discover in us, and the hardest thing
for us to discover in ourselves, is that
we are growing old.
Only let a man or woman have dull
ness sufficient, and they need bow to nc
extant authority. Adullard recognizes
no betters; a dullard can't see that he il
in the wrong; a dullard has no scruples
of conscience, no qualms for other peo-
ple's feelings, no respect but for the
fool himself. The great quality of dull
ness is to be unalterably contented with
itself. What myriads of souls are there
Of this admirable ~sort-selfish, stingy,
ignorant, passionate, brutal; bad sons,
mothers, fathers, never known TO dc
kind actions!
Cut several oranges in transverse
slices and remove the seeds. Lay some
of the slices in the bottom OF a glass
fruit-dish; sprinkle with sugar and some
desiccated cocoanut; then add a layer
of Sliced banana, and fill up the dish
with alternate layers of oranges, cocoa
nut. and banana.
Tact is not measured alike to those
who have it. Men pc sess it in different
degrees, while others, again, + want
ing in it altogether. 1t is the outcome
of intellectual and of temperamental
qualifications, and implies the possess
ion of clear perceptions. quick magma
ton and delicate sensibilities! 1t Is
these that give the tactful person his
subtle intuition of another's mental
processes and modes of feeling. and in
the same moment exactly the right
method of dealing with them.

THERE has been any amount of
space in the New York daily papers
here devoted to the descriptions of a
Chinese millionaire, who has recently
come to New York and is stopping with
friends in Chinatown. His fortune
is variously stated at from 800, 900, 900
to 100000 600. In talking recently
with Edward Williams, who for some
time was an attache of the British
Mission at Hong Kong, he said:
"You American newspapers are the
greatest fellows to make a big noise
about nothing that / ever knew. The
rich Chlnaman, about whom you have
been making such a fuss, is worth 90,
W0,OOO teals. A teal is the smallest
Chinese coin, and ten of them arr
worth about a penny of American
money. His fortune is therefore about
800, 600 instead of 800, 600, 900. 1t
makes considerable difference whether
a man is worth teals or dollars When
the numerals are the same"

In one of the great canons out West
there is an icicle 1000 feet long. A
local paper thus describes it: "a vol
ume of water unusually large for this
season of the year is falling over the
perpendicular wall at the head of this
canon, about an even thousand feet in
height. The falls are incased in a great
tube of ice, which, when the sun
strikes it, looks like a gigantic column
of crystal standing upright against the
prec pice. Within the torrent fumes
and boils with a deafening roar akin to
thunder.

OKLAHOMA is still gaining in popula-

says that in M day 1000 wagons were
counted going into the new country and
800 coming back bearing destitute and
disguised settlers. But if such an ex-
odus has set in al this implies it will
not take long to deprive the newly set

were not believed when they issued

OKLAHOMA a settled down in less
time than was expected. Town govern
ments have been established, and Gen.
eral Merritt is prepared to return to his
headquarters at L~eayenworth, which is
an indication that there is no more need
for military rule there than in other
Territories. Americans are the most
expert government makers in the world,
and in twenty-four hours, as at Guth-
RE, can bring something like order out

THE decision of the French Govern
ment to postpone the general elections
for members of the Chamber of Depu-
ties until the spring of 1890 will doubt
less be cheerfully acquiesced in by the
people. The coming Exposition is
likely to create an increased patriotic
sentiment, and the shadow of Boulang-
Ism is slowly disappearing. Constitu-
tional government under the Republic
Of France has fairly passed its expert
mental stage.

Mr.. Broughton, A. r. A., delivered
an interesting address at Birmingham
lately, on distributing the prizes at thu
Municipal School of Art. He cited t.
the students the words of his own mas
ter. "Don't talk of what you want to
do, or don't want to do, or what you
are going to do, but go and do yout
best, and let that talk for YOU" Others
besides art students would do well t.
take this advice to heart.

TRAVEL to Europe by mere pleasure
seekers has grown enormously of late
years, partly as a result of reductions
in the cost and time required for such
trips. 1t is said that 100000 transat-
lantic passengers have been booked to
60 from this side the present season. If
that be true the steamship companies
ought to make out pretty well, for they
have plenty of living freight the other
way.
