Aim.

Aim.
Aim for tho beautiful and bright,
Aim for the good and true;
Aim as the lark scars in its flight,
And flowers reach for the dew.
Aim, though thy way be in the night,
Still aim with lifted eye;
Seek for the hidden stars whose light
Shines in the darkest sky
Aim, though in lowest depths thy way,
Thy path lie through the mire;
Aim yet to reach high up thy way
With hopes that never tire.
So bravely go, and upward reach,
And oft though thou may fall,
Each trial sweeter hope shall teach
If thou but heed the call
Then take unto thy heart this thought,
twill be thy leading star,
If faith be thine each trials wrought
With beauty from afar.
IT'S upward to the realms that blest
Then walk with soul of trust;
In skies above 60 seek thy rest
Not low, within the dust.

Chicago has the "Sand.

"While we are we'll informed" says
New York paper, ''of the ultimate
fate of city built on rock, like New
York, and one built on the sand, like
Chicago, we are unhappily left in the
dark concerning one founded on gas,
like Pittsburg." The allusion to
Chicago in this sentence might be
misleading to some who do not know
the modern meaning of the word
''sand." The writer, of course, means
to be complimentary to Chicago. It is
emphatically a city built by men who
had plenty of ''sand. Chicago Jour

Oatmeal as Food.

Oatmeal has recently received some
adverse criticisms. This is not sur
prising, as no food article is just the
thing in every case or at all times.
Our daily experiences convince us OF
snch truth, by likes and dislikes for
very common and the most wholesome
foods. 1t is natural and best to have
some variation of diet. One thing
may be just adapted to the state of the
Individuality aud mentally-at
one time and not at some other; while
called eternal fitness of things
needs to be carefully studied before
deciding an important question too
hastily.
Without entering into lengthy unin-
teresting details, chemistry, physi.
ology, and experience, all prove oat-
meal one of the most valuable cereal
foods for producing good muscles and
clear heads. Why, then, is it frequent
ly found to disagree? 1t is easily
answered. By being used almost ex.
clusively as mush, it is swallowed so
easily that it is not properly mixed
with the saliva-the first step for di-
gestion.
When there is little or no saliva, as
in some diseases. there is also very
weak or no digestion. A good authori-
ty, ''No saliva, no indigestion" If any
soft food, mush or toast, etc., is swal-
lowed too rapidly, or any food is wash
ed down with tea, coffee, milk, wine,
or water, some degree Of indigestion is
thereby produced, sooner or later, as
often shown by sense of fullness, dis
comfort, belching, and other disturb
ances. If there is lack of saliva, or
that of proper quality, it is often best
to eat some hard kind of bread, as the
thin, hard, Scotch oatmeal bread,
bread crusts, rusks, etc., when the
teeth admit of it, and very slowly, to
thus naturally increase the amount and
quality of saliva. Such a course is
often a better and safer corrective than
all the drugs and nostrums in the coun-
try.
Good health can usually and should
be secured by correct living. The best
physicians are those who recognize this
fact, and try to teach it to such patients
as are wise enough to employ them.
Oatmeal can be used in a variety of
ways. As mush, it is often drowned in
too much milk, sugar, butter, etc., for
good digestion; it is swallowed so east
ly that it helps lead to overeating and
its bad results. Let us go slow before
we reject oatmeal as food.-Ex.

A Youth Marries an Old Woman

A curious wedding has just taken
place at LODI. A young man, 18
years of age, and of good position, for
some unaccountable reason married a
poor widow with a numerous family.
The ''blushing'' bride is in ner 74th
year! The "happy" bridegroom has
now eleven stepsons and daughters,
the Oldest of whom is So; besides
twenty-three grandchildren and
twenty-three great-grandchildre

her nature was smothered in the oppres-
sive moral atmosphere in which she had
been reared. An ill-dispositioned relative
had impressed upon her mind from her earli-
est youth that no man would ever marry a
person of her facial and mental obliquities
except for her money, and she was exhorted
to be thankful that providence had not alto
gether forgotten to provide her with an at
traction. Naturally under such assurance
she avoided society and hated men, and
looked with suspicion upon any friendly ad-
vances. Sometimes she hated her money
and laid plans for founding some great
charity with it and then retiring into OBJ
security. Sometimes she glor1ed in it be-
cause it gave her power-the only power
she was ever likely to know-and once she
forgot it."
Ellen contemplated her last sentence

man whose married life had been much
more than the fulfillment of the hopes of
her betrothal.
eyes, she forgot it, and herself. She for
got that she was plain and angular and un-
lovely. She knew only that she loved and
was beloved. One man had penetration
enough to see through the reserves with
which she had hedged herself about, and to
discover a sensitive, loving, noble nature
behind this environment. They were mar
ried. Unfortunately, her husband was
poor and handsome, but they lived a whole
year in Paradise, and then the serpent in
troduced himself.

place Wnere Cencla lay, and when he
was but a step away from her he
leaned over, and without any core
mony gave her rousing smack upon
the lips. She awoke with sudden
movement of fright and cast around
her hasty glance. but the man with
the black face had disappeared be-
hind the bushes. Then, instinctively
she looked at the limpid waters of the
spring, and when she saw her image
reflected there she quickly covered
her face with her hands and gave a
piercing shrek, she had black
mark upon her mouth!
''Who had dared to make that mark
upon her? 1t was a joke, of course,
but she would not allow such jokes,
and if she only knew who it was he
would pay dearly for it.
Suddenly she bethought herself

street. Muffled up as we were it was not
an easy performance, but we finally accom-
plished it.
Once upon the street we walked rapidly
but silently toward the little bridge which
Ellen spoke of, slight structure thrown
across ravine, which q few rods below,
opened upon the river.
As we reached the bridge we saw q man
coming swiftly toward us. Ellen seized my
arm with clutch that left its marx for sew
eral days, but was too excited to feel the
pain which such grasp must have occa-
stoned. We dared not turn back and could
only meet what seemed to us, at that mo-
ment an awful destiny sweeping down upon
us. The spot was an intensely lovely one
for busy and populous city. Behind us
lay the college grounds quiet and deserted,
with the angular buildings rising cold and
forbidding among the leafess trees. In
front lay narrow, gloomy street while at
our left the dark river roared foaming be-
tween the rows of great factories and mills.
No policeman was in sight, not a creature
disturbed the silence Of the midnight except
our trembling selves and the man coming
toward us with such reckless haste. He
did not see US until quite near and then half
stopped with muttered imprecation; but
quickly collected himself and walked rapid
~ past US. The moonlight fell full upon his
face for the moment that he stopped, and
Ellen's grip upon my arm frightened. No
wonder. It was Mr.. Kimball. We walked
slowly until he had turned around corner,
out of sight, and then we turned and ran
like pair Of frightened rabbits. We clam
bered over the kitchen garden fence with
more haste than dignity, stole in through
the little door and crept like couple of
sneak thieves up TO our room.
II am glad we are out of that scrape."

Ellen smiled peculiar smile.
''And I, too," she said.
We went to bed again, and to sleep this
time. The next morning the sun rose as
usual; the cold gray of the morning toned
down the high coloring Of the midnight ad-

MORE NEWS OF STANLEY.
Hippo Tib's Secretary Brings
 Information
EIGHT MISSIONARIES KILLED.

A Terrible Tragedy on the East African
 Coast-Slaughtered by Slayers-Lieut.
 Baert Says Stanley Has Written No
 Letters Except to Hippo rib.
 LONDON, Jan. 18-Sir Francis De Winton Is of the opinion that Stanley reached Emin in November, and that his journey from Emlns headquarters to the east coast would occupy from six to eight months. Sir Fran cis has received letter from Mai Parmin- ter, dated Kinchassa, on Stanley Pool, Nov 50. reporting the arrival there of Lieut. Baert Hippo Tibs secretary, on board the steamer Stanley. He said that Stanley re- turned at the end of August to the camp where Barttelot was murdered, and found the remainder of Jameson's detachment in charge of Bonny.
 Stanley wrote to Hippo to come and see him, the distance being twelve days hard marching. Hippo did not arrive, and Stan ley proceeded to Wadelai with Bonny's de- tachment.
 Baert confirms the news contained in Stan ley's letter, adding that Stanley said that Hippo would not see him again, so Stanley evidently did not intend to return the same way. Baert further says that Stanley wrote to nobody excepting Tippo and sent no letters home. Stanley had not heard of the death of Jameson.

Terrible Fate of German Missionaries and
 Citizens in Africa
 ZANZIBAR, Jan. 1S.-The Arabs have de- stroyed the German missionary station at Tugu, fifteen miles west of Dar- Els Salem, A rAajority of the slaves captured by the Ger man man of war Leipzig were lodged at the station. One missionary succeeded in escap- ing from the Arabs, but eight others were massacred. Three bodies, one of them tha. of woman, were found mutilated in a bar barous manner.
 The Arabs carried of the servants and slaves at the station. The French missionary stations, especially those situated near Tugu. are in imminent danger The Arabs who are now joining in the slave trade come prin cipally from Kilwa and Lindi, and arc richer and more influential that Bushirf, and are likely to overshadow him. These acces sions to the ranks of the slave traders will have the effect of reinvigorating the revolt, which would have died out if the Germans had not retained Bogamoyo and Dar-Es- Salem

Her modest young eyes arc raised in grateful regret to the big ones of the young man as he lingeringly lets fall her clinging fingers The two have been ac- quainted during matter of ten minutes, but 1t seems as if they had been friends for ever so long.

 And this girl and fellow are down for more waltzes. "Some one else may have the lancers," he has said to her, and she has smiled peculiarly, wonderingly, not knowing exactly how she felt, but glad he prefers the waltzes.
