TEMPERANCE AND REGULARITY

Temperance is superior to regularity, and
there is nothing regular in nature; every
thing is governed by circumstances and
environment. The animal, vegetable and
mineral kingdoms are irregular; they may
run by the season, but not to the minute
or the hour. Eat the right thing at the
right time, follow the dictates of your
appetite, and eat and drink with medera-
ton. This is the kind of regularity | OBJ
serve. I never have taken any note of the
hour or minute for taking meals or doing
anything observation-disclosures control me.
You may inquire what moderation is; and
may say what is moderation for one may
be ~immoderate for another. Very true,
The answer to this is that if persons do not
know what temperance and moderation are
it is their misfortune. The plain truth is,
that few persons ever find out how to eat
and drink until age overtakes them and IT
becomes too late to reform Wilson Hdc-
Donald in Herald Of Health.

Young ministers are anxious to appear
popular with their people. Sometimes
when they take charge of churches the
richest and most influential member takes
them to his home for their first dinner, and
proceeds to give them pointers and adj
vises them as to how to keep from becom-
ing unpopular. One of these young min
listers at one time accompanied the shead
man of the church to his home from
whom he received advice as follows: sNow,
brother, you had better not preach against
dancing; our young people are lively and
active and they do like to dance a little"
Eyes, y said the minister. 'And you had
better not preach against card playing or
theaters and Sunday riding, as our young
people like to indulge in those things"
.sAh!'' said the minister, wo~nderingly.
Eyes, and then there is another thing: you
must not say anything about temperance.
We have some liquor dealers III our church
and they are very liberal contributors, SO
do not say anything upon the temperance
question: Butt cried the astonisbed
minister, what Am / to preach about?"

AN A FOREST.

There have been exhibited lately in the
w%ell-known house of Tiffany & Co., New
York City, some wonderful specimens Of
agate from Arizona. This agate is ''pet-
rified wood" but like no other petrifed
wood previously discovered. The coloring
is brilliant and beautiful: glowing red, the
delicate blending and tinting of grays,
blues and greens, with here and there a
glistening quartz crystal, makes a rare
combination.
These beautiful slabs, two or theee feet
across, were sawn from great stone logs.
The perfect likeness of the tree is there
the coneentric rings, the radiating lines,
the rough, gnarled bark-and even every
knot has its fac-simile in the stone.
Petrifactions in wood rave been discov-
cred before, but they have been in neutral
tints; the size and richness of c~oloring are
wfat render this recent discovery remark
able, for, previous to this, agates thirteen
inches in diameter were considered large.
The finding of this agate forest, as it
might properly be termed, is interesting.
When the Apache chief Geronimo, led the
frontiermen such a lively chase in Arizona,
he ran better than he knew. Daring the
pursuit of the Indians, the heart of the
Apache country was penetrated. It was
On one of these wild chases that a cowboy
named Adams found himself in the remote
and before undiscovered petrified forests of
Arizona.
As soon as he was able be reported his
wonderful find to the Governor Of Arizona.
His story was laughed at. "AH right"
said the cowboy, '.if my story isn't true,
I'll bear all the expenses of the journey
there and back"
The story was true, and there, prone in
the depths of the lava desert, they saw the
remains of a forest, changed into brilliant
hued, translucent agate, held in form by
the petriied bark, every ridge and knot
perfectly translated. For ages the water,
i~mpregnated with silica. played over aud
amongst these forest trees, wearing the
wood away. and, cell by cell, atom by
atom, replacing it by the stone. 1t is as
surned that powerful geysers may have
burst forth, and with their heated waters
covered this forest, and then, perhaps, af-
ter centuries, settled away, leaving as
monuments of their work these agate pet
rifactions. Stumps, trees, twigs, fallen
logs are all represented in the beautiful
stone.
The cutting and polishing of these great
agates is a work of exceeding difficulty.
Thirty-fve days were consumed in saving
across one of the stone logs. No steel in
strument can make an impression, can even
scratch the polished specimen on exhibition.
Diamond dust and saws with diamond teeth
alone will cut them.
OF course, much of the work must be
done on the spot. Hence a camp has been
set up in the Arizona wilderness, in the
midst of desolation. and here are sawn out
the blocks and slabs OF agate, while the
workmen, fearful of the ~treacherous APP
aches, look carefully to their Winchester
rifles, which are rarely left out of reach

PBTUATING ITS ORGANIZATION.

held last night, TO re.organizs upon new
basis. one that means substantiability and

modious quarters of its own, and where
all improvements could be made with an
eye to the growing needs OF the club ana

proper way to proceed in such an i'm
portant undertaking was to get a
State charter and organize under the
laws of the State governing such
corporations. This charter was accordingly
taken cut. 1t makes the Club corporation

sued. and transact sll business that duly

three hours to listening to evidence for the

first intimation he had of the knowledge of
the Ohio people was through visit from
Officer Meredith, who brought an affidavit
from George W. Mcfarland. Witness ex-
planned thoroughly to Mt Meredith what
would be necessary to secure a conviction,
and TIE officer went back. The second
time he came to Wheeling he brought an
affidavit from Eli II Davis Mr.
Jordan then directed Chief of
Police Smith and Sheriff Hsndlan
to 20 10 Newark. There was no evidence

no NEW DEVELOPMENTS AT TIE WHEEL
ING STEEL PLANT.
President Wsihs Comes DOwn-The Condition Of
Things at the Hinge FactOry-Othsr Labor
Matters Of Interest.

Nothing new turned up in the Wheeling
Steel Plant trouble yesterday. 1t was
learned that the committee which called
upon Secretary Wilson, Tuesday afternoon,
was committee representing the Amalga-
mated Association Lodge. He inform'd
them that he had 10 authority to confer as
an oficisl of the company but would talk
TO them as one man to another. So they
pitched in and talked over 1.-THE matter
about an hour, the conversation being
maiOly questions and answers. The men
seemed anxious to discover as much as
they could concerning the plant and who
the stockholders and directors were. The
questions propounded by Secretary Wilson
were about as pertinent, and when they
parted probably each side knew something
more of the other than they had kown be-
fore.
President William Weihe Of the Anal
gsmatCd Association came down to the city
from Pittsburg yesterday morning., and
proceeded down to Benwood, where ne met
with members of the Association, perhaps
the Committee, and talked over the matter
OF course no conclusion was arrived at, end
the result of the Committees talk with
Secretary Wilson will be presented to a
regular meeting of the Lodge, which Is 10
held this evening.
A REGISTER reporter met President
Weihe last evening, and asked him if there
were any new developments in the matter.
None that know OF" said he.
"Suppose the men will etand ont firm
for what they demand?"
''Yee, sir. rs far as l know. Ot course
that is a matter that they must decide,
Twill you remain over and attend the
meeting Saturday afternOon?"
Cant say yet, but 1t is very probable

That was the end of the conversation,
and the big, good natured, but awfully
close mOuthed President moved on.

knows something about the differences at
