familiar black face of old Moses was
seen no more, he having gone to seek
his fortune elsewhere.
One week after that eventful morning
two letters came to Mrs. Dean. The
first was from Daniel, and the fond
mother kissed it and covered the boyish
sentences with tears. TT ran thus:

THE FAMILY ALTAR.

Good Institutions.

1t Is the Starting Point of All Other
Good Institutions.
1t is in front of the family altar that
the hottest vows are taken. More lives
are subdued in the sitting-room than at
Marath on, or Austerlitz, or Gettysburg.
Firmer foundations are laid in cob
webbed garrets than you find beneath
capitol or many-spired cathedral.
Keener philosophers are inculcated at
the breakfast table or during the ruddy
winter evenings, than in college halls or
from pulpit and platform. If tonight
the homes of the world were unroofed,
we would, think, see such light
thrown up from hearthstones into the
face of Heaven, as would cause us to
think that the hour was at hand in
which the Son of Man was to appear in
all His triumphant majesty to set up
His kingdom The family is three
armed: The first arm points to social
movements; the second is mixed up in
politics and the third is raised Heaven

est Institutions. depend for their main
tenance, stability and soundness upon
the family. So vitality dependent are
these institutions on the family, that
the moment the family begins to de-
generate, that moment also does society,
government and religion begin to totter
and crumble. When Greece and Rome
dragged their homes to the verge of the
precipice, then also were Greece and
Rome, as nations, ready to lean out over
the chasm. If one is dumped to the bot
tom, the other will speedily follows; in
deed, the two will be dashed in pieces
arm in arm. In whatever country the
family is looked upon as divine and
holy institution, as the gathering-point
of the gods" there, likewise, are so
.ciety, government and religion found on
solid footing; while it is equally true
that wherever loose and INSCRIPTIONS
meaning is put upon. the family, there,
also, public morality is lax; govern
ment is arbitrary and unjust, While re-
ligion becomes mere cloak OF hg
leaves, sewed together to cover up our
Adamic nakcdness. And thus the family
becomes the starting point OF all other
institutions. Here men are made ready
for after life. Here one generation
turns out the props and pillars, sound OF
rotten, as you will have them, for the
next generation. J. II. Mueller.

STRONG WATER POWER.

n water w noel successfully Kun by EIeC-
trical Appliances.
One Of the most remarkable instances
Of the electrical transmission of power,
writes Alvan ID. Brock in the Overland
Monthly, has only recently been accom-
plished in the State Of Nevada OF the
wcrld-famous Comstcck lode, and the
almost equally famous Sutro tunnel AT
The Nevada mill Is ten-foot Pelton
water-wheel, which receives water
through pipeline delivering water
from the side of Mount Davidson, under
head of ago feet giving 300 horse
power. Here the water is again caught
up, delivered into two heavy iron pipes,
and conducted down the vertical shaft
and incline of the Chollar mine to the
Sutro tunnel level where it Is again de-
livered to six Pelton water-wheels, this
time running under head of $3.50 feet.
Each OF the six wheels Is but 40 inches
in diameter, weighing 225 pounds, but
with jet of water less than five-eighths
OF an inch in diameter, they develop 1875
horse power each. On the same shaft,
which revolves 900 times minute, are
coupled six Brush dynamos, which gem
crate the current for the electric motors
that drive the stamps in the mill
above ground. The result is that
where 1t formerly took $40 miners
inches OF water to operate thirty-hve
stamps, but seventy-two inches are now
required to run sixty stamps. This Is
the most enormous head OF water used
by any wheel, and by itself constitutes
an era in hydraulic engineering. A
solid bar Of iron thrown forciDly against
this tremendous jet rebounds as though
it had struck against a solid body in
stead of mobile fluid. The speed Of
this Jet, where-it impinges. against the
buckets of the wheel, is two miles min
ute, Ito feet second. There 10 another
quality of these extraordinary wheels,
which renders them absolutely without
a peer in the large family of prime
movers. This is the immense power ex-
erted per pound Of weight. Those in
the Chollar mine, for instance, give out
one horse power for every one-eighth
pound of weight II there is anywhere
. motor which begins to compare with
them In this respect have newer been
favored with the knowledge OF it And
1t seems there is no limit outside of that
which sets bounds to the head Of water
itself, to prevent further progress of the
wheel in the same direction.

The Word "Gerrymander. ;

The word ''gerrymander" comes from
the name of Elbr:dge Gerry, one OF the
leading Democratic politicians of the
first half century of the Nations his
tory. He was the Governor of Massa-
chusetts In 1911, and signed the first
bill giving one party all the advantage
in a State election, by an unnatural ar
rangement of the legislative districts.
Thus the Democrats carried the next
election, though nearly two-thirds Of
the votes were cast by the Federalists.
Editor Russell, of the Boston Sentinel,
leading Federal organ, made colored
map showing one of the most ill-shaped
districts in Essex, County and hung it
up in his sanctum. One day Gilbert
Stewart the celebrated painter, whose
portrait of Washington is so well known,
was looking at the map and remarked
that 1t reminded him Of some monstrous
animal. Picking up q pencil, he added
what might represent q head, wings,
tail and claws. There, I" hesaid. that
will do for salamanders" Russell
looked around and exclaimed: ''Sala-
mander! Call it Gerrymanderr' The
name stuck, and has forever stained the
fame Of man who had little to do with
the partisan scheme, and who was .
signer OF the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and Vice-Presidentsof the United
States when he died. Toledo Blade.

BLAINE AGAIN ON DECK.
Statesman viii Probably
Try His Luck Once More.

Tho Magnetic Statesman viii Probably
Try His Luck Once More.
Mr.. Blaine's statement that IT Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew can carry New
York he will be happy to support him
for the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation will scarcely convince any one
that he has rid himself of the Presiden-
tial yearn which has afflicted him for
fifteen years. 1t is chronic disease
with him. Even when in 1888 1T had
shattered his nerves and reduced him to
a state of what threatened to be. per-
manent= mysteries if not insanity,Ehe
cherished it until 1t became apparent
that he would be defeated II he went
before the convention. The present
situation is calculated to give him new
hopes. His nerves are steadier, and he
is less historical than he was under the
strain of ambition and anxiety in 1888.
Harrison is SO thoroughly discredited,
the Republican party is so disguised
with him that his denomination is i'm
possible, and the party less inclined
tn an in the past to take up an unknown
man for its candidate. 1t generally
happens that the sins OF President are
visited on his Cabinet-especially on
the leading Cabinet officer-but Mr..
Blaine has managed it SO cleverly that
Mr. Harrison bears the whole odium OF
the party administration. II the Score
tary of State is not as popular as he was
in 1884, he is so much more popular
with Republicans than the President is
that any possible decrease in popularity
is made to seem an increase by COM
parison. A shrug of his shoulders,
nod OF his head towards the White
House, goe as far as all the more intri'
cate arts of Oily Cannon, Esq, to con-
vince his admirers that 1t is only be-
cause he can not have This way that
things are not different. Harrison is
defunct; John Sherman has NO more
than enough strength left to make any
Ohio candidate impossible, Mr.. Allison
has, SO declined in popularity that h
barely escaped defeat for the Senate
and there is nobody left but Depew and
Alger - both millionaires and pluto
Gratis, to nominate either of whom would
be to invite defeat in the Granger
States
So Mr.. Blaine has the field open tt
him. 1t taxes credulity to ask it to be
lieve that a man Of his fixed habit o.
| yearning for the Presidency willresis

BISMARCK S, NERVE


ana
Among his personal characteristics
Bismarck's extraordinary GOODNESS and
courage are very prominent Dr.. Droy-
sen told me that once during the reyolu-
tionary days OF 1s4s Bismarck went into
an inn to get glass of be r. Tnere
was man in the room talking to very
excited audience and speaking most
unexpectedly Of the Queen of Prussia.
Bismarck went up to him and instantly
called upon him TO apologize. The man
demured, but he soon thought better OF
1t and expressed his regret before the
whole revolutionary crowd. Three-and-
twenty years after, in 1871, Busch tells
us that during the partial occupation OF
Paris Bismarck could not resist the
temptation of going into the city. He
was soon recognized, and crowd gath
cred round and became threatening. He
went up to the man, who looked spe-
cially trnculent, pulled out a cigar and
asked him for a light. The man was SO
astonished that he pulled his short clay
pipe out OF his mouth and offered 1t to
bismarck with the M st polite Of bows.
Stories illustrating Bismarck's humor
are endless, and we meet them at every
turn.
On one occasion he had to meet Hem
rich Won Gagern at the house OF Man

Tho Best Remrdy for tenrraf wcnkness
and Nervous Exhaustion.
One OF the favoritc remedies now adj
vocated for people who are suffering
from general weakness or exhaustion Of
the nervous system Is change Of scene"
This has long been q recognized neces-
sity in the large cities, where the excess
i've heat, shut in by high brick build
ings and reflected from pavement, drives
avery one who can go and seek the
breezes of sea-shore and mountain. 1t
is in the country, in remote hamlets,
where the monotonous grind OF daily
life offers little variation to the senses
or the thoughts, that change OF scene
is equally beneficial. A we'll known
medical authority is so strong an advo-
cate of change that he says: Change
your climate, II you can; II you can not
do that, change your house, change your
room; and If not your room, then re-
arran 20 your furniture" Many an old
PERSONS years and power of enjoyment
has been happily prolonged by wise
changes of scene. Many a man, worn
out with the worry and vexation OF
business, has taken . rest away from all
care and returned to work elreshed
and able to accomplish far more than he
could have done had he struggled on
with jaded nerves and wearied brain. II
possible every family should go away
once year for months stay under
fferent surroundings; II this is not pos
sible, changes of week at time will
probably save you doctors bill II you
have become run down. in health. II
this week is not possible, an occasional
quiet picnic with the family or few
neighbors out in q green grove or mount
ain or by some sifvery lake will do
wonders in reyiving the spirits. Make
as many such expeditions as you can
during the summer; go once week II
ross BILE and you will find them more
efficacious to build up the strength than
any tonic that can be administered. II
possible get different food for the family
at such times, than they are daily ac-
customed to, even II it is not as delicate.
A change Of food will often stimulate a
jaded appetite. tits strange how tempt
ing plain food which is different from
that Of the daily table often is. The
keeper of famous hotel, where the
cuisine is the admiration Of every
traveller, once admitted, confidentia1ly,
that he became so cloyed himself W tn a
long continued diet of even the dainty
food cooked by his chef, that he set out
to the country once in awhile and or
dered a good boiled dinner from an old
inn in the backwoods, .and, no food ever
tastes so deliciously as that at that
time" he said: yet know it would
seem coarse fare II was accustomed to
1t, When ! go back home the hotel
food is all right" When children OF
grown people begin to lose appetite and
seem listless, better than q spring tonic
