All the circumstances of life are in
some sort educative. Health and happi-
ness have their lesson of ective duty to
teach us if we will receive it, and so,
likewise, have pain, disease and mis-
fortune, as lately stated by Mr.. Spur
geon, a purpose of correction, a chasten-
ing and mellowing influence within
them. With some natures and moods
perhaps it is otherwise. The sharpness
of the stroke touches no mental spring
but that of self concern, but here again
it is the wise who learns. For him these
evils, for such they still remain, are also
the seeds of sympathy with others in
like trouble. If he be through any fault
of his own accountable for them, they
are in true science as in Scripture the
natural recompense of evil, a protest on
behalf of needful self control, which he
will do well to observe. There is more,
therefore, than an apparent tendency to
asceticism in this doctrine of disciplinary
suffering.
Of course, it does not follow that the
prosperous and the healthy must at some
time undergo this training by reverses,
The same lessons of patience, fellow feel
ing and self restraint can be learned in
other ways, and it is quite certain that
the daily round and task abound in op-
portunities for such wholesome instruc-
ton. We are alike justified, therefore,
in admitting for this purpose the fire.
quent utility of pain, and in seeking, to
the best of our ability, to limit and to
destroy by suitable remedies the infu-
ence of this otherwise harsh and hurtful
instructor. Health of mind and body
and well being of estate are alone con-
sistent with perfect life as ordered by
natures plan and the divine will, and
every purpose of training is compatible
with their full possession and their
proper use.-Lancet.

Trying to Make Hair Grow.

Mr.. E>nry Clews related how he be-
came bald. Badness overlook me-" he
said, "when l was quite a young man.
| began to notice that the hair was leav-
ing the top of my head with unhappy
haste. One day | spoke to my barber
about it. He said the remedy was sim
pie enough. All that was necessary
was that the top of my head should be
shaved regularly for about six months.
| could wear a toupee, or half wig,
and nobody would be the wiser, and at
the end of six months my hair would
come out strong and always remain so.
| went to a wigmaker and asked him if
he could prescribe a cure for badness.
He, too, advised shaving the head. That
was exceedingly cheering. Two men of
science harlnonized.
Il bought a toupee of the wignaker.
l remember that l paid $50 for it. Then
1 had my head shaved twice a week
regularly. Occasional examinations of
the top of my head were not very en-
couraging. But thinking that all would
be well in time | persevered. At the
end of six months / was forced to con-
fess that | had less hair than before.
Indeed there was no hair at all on the
top of my head. Wearing the toupee
had kept out the air and killed the
roots. l threw the toupee away and
philosophically accepted my fate. New

COMMERCE OF THE GREAT LAKES.

Among the great things that greatly
impressed me on my late short trip west
ward and return by water was the mar
velous system of transportation already
in operation upon the chain of great
lakes between the United States and
Canada. That great new Welland canal
with its series of granite locks and its fine
adjusting or equalizing basins, beside
which the SueZ canal is but a ditch in the
sand. would naturally excite surprise and
admiration. But it must be understood the
bulk of the lake transportation does not
go through the canal and down the st.
Lawrence. The great steamers of the
great lakes run between Buffalo, Chica-
60 and Detroit as terminal points, with
Cleveland and Detroit as principal inter-
mediate points. The best test of the act
ual commerce of the lakes is by no
means at the canal, but in the Detroit
river.
Bradstreet's careful report will doubt
less be accepted as authority, and we are
informed that ''during 234 days of navi-
CATION last year tonnage passed through
the Detroit river to the amount of lO,000,-
900 tons more than the entries and clear
ances of all the seaports in the United
States, and 100000 IONS more than the
combined foreign and coastwise shipping
of Liverpool and London" 1t will pay
to read that twice and to read it careful
ly. Then, the following Nor does
that include traffic between Lakes Supe-
rior and Michigan, or Lakes Erie ard
Ontario, or local traffic between ports on
these lakes. 1t may also surprise many
to know that nearly three times as many
boats yearly pass through the st. Mary's
Falls canal at Sault Ste. Marie as pass
through the Suez canal, with an aggre-
gate tonnage of 1921 1875 as recorded / N
1889, against 6,7S3, 1877 for the Suez canal,
though with only 234 days of navigation,
whereas the Suez canal is open the year
round"
Is it not about time for Americans to
wake up to the magnitude of this great
internal commerce: What is to be done
with it in the near future? What means
so many fine new iron and steel steam
ships as have been building at the great
lake cities? Very little has been said

Reverses of French Soblemen.

Sad have been the reverses of the old
French nobility since Edmund Burke

The city democracy is preparing for
a graceful flop, under the leadership
of Bryan.
Hogg Is certain to be nominated,
say the Bryanites, 30 we had better
vote for him as we may need some
favors.
They imagine that the position of
governor is just like the mayorship.
That he will be able to grant per-
sonal indulgences to personal follow

While Sheriff Mccall is away the

The happiest Hoggite in town is
Agitator Banks; he claims the demo-
cIatic county convention by a big ma
jority.
Gus Cooke gets two precincts in
Bexar county out of fifty. Is this the

cratic and republican conventions is
one q with a maximum of So from
any point in the state.
The committee of arrangements for
the entertainment of the republican
convention meets at Mission garden
tomorrow night.
Quite a number of republicans have
been put on the list of delegates to
help nominate Hogg.
A great many men who two weeks
ago were loud-mouthed anti Hogg
men are now dumb as an oyster.
They are preparing for a grand flop.
Morril Poor is an enthusiastic Hogg
man, but his own precinct instructed
for Cook.
The so-called democratic county of

bacon, but they do not want a
