Fiqs And Thistles.

The man who expects TO die Ike a
beast will live like a beast.
To hate is the most terrible misfor-
time that can befall a soul.
Love never has TO be watched to
see that il does full days work.
The religion that only breaks out
in spots is not a good kind to have.
Not 70 go to church to worship God
means to 90 away disappointed.
II you don't want to get your fingers
burned. never shake hands with the
devil.
The man who does not work with
his heart will not accomplish much
with his hands.
When we get to heaven we will
find that we have all had something
to do in building it.
Aman's true name before God is
what he is in reality; not what the
newspapers say about him.
Every Christian is called TO be a
preacher Of some kind, but only a
few are sent into the pulpit.
The good OF the land means the
best that God can give. This is what
His children are TO have.
One Of the greatest mistakes that
any Christian can make is to think
that God don't want his services.
You can never go back TO where
you were this morning. The wheels
OF time only turn one way.

A Wonderful Operation.

To open the skull and penetrate
the brain is not so common snrgi-
cal feat that il has ceased TO be
wonder Indeed, such mn operation
performed at the Roosevelt Hospital
has attraced the attention OF the EN-
tire medical profession.
The patient, who Is physician,
was thrown from his carriage last fall,
striking heavily upon his head. lie
was removed TO his home, where, upon
examination, no external evidence OF
fracture OF the skull was found.
Later paralysis OF the entire right
side Of the body was developed, aud
with it the inability to speak. After
several months the patient was
taken to New York. The physicians
who examined him concluded that
the trouble was due TO pressure on
the brain, especially on that part OF
it which governs the faculty OF speech,
and that this pressure was probably
caused by Il clot Of blood, resulting
from the rupture Of n blood vessel
within the skull cavity at the time OF
the injury.
After carefully mapping out the
head by the most delicate measure
Inent the spot corresponding to the
centre OF speech In the brain Was
found. Then the surgeon removed a
round disk Of bone Immediately over
the spot indicated, somewhat eDlarg-
ing with cutting forceps the opening
thus made. The other delicate mem
brane covering the brain was now
brought into view. Beneath II lay "A
large dark mass OF clotted blood, ex-
tending down into the substance Of
the brain. The clot was carefully re-
moved, while the effect Of Its pressure
was clearly perceived in the iinpover-
ished circulation Of the part. The
wound was then dressed with every
precaution and the patient was per
mitted to recover from the operation.
The following night, for the brst
time after his injury. the patient was
able to say yes" and mo" The con
dition Of his right arm was also i'm
proved, and 1t il believed that he
will eventually recover

And earnestly labor with brain and with

But not while the weathers so warm.

But not while the weather's so warm;
The coal dealers friendship Wen try TO gain.

But not while the weather's so warm.
Sometimes long sermon may better flock,
But not while the weather's so warm;
The hearers may take their eyes of OF the
clock,
But not while the weather's so warm.
When winter with icy-breathed blizzards Is
here,
We then think without our misgivings and
fear
or the fire that burneth from year unto year
But not while the weather's so warm.
We may fall In love with red-headed lass,
But not while the weather's so warm;
Wen sometime refuse something cool In

But not while the weather's so warm.
Oh, sometime our efforts we never shall cease,

Well sometime write verses better than

They Shot at the Rag.

Opposite little railroad station
about FIVE miles below Jackson, Miss,
was dense thicket, and on one Of
the bushes hung a white rag. A doz-
EN- of us sat with our feet hanging OIL
the platform, and, while every man
had revolver on his hip, no one had
thought of shooting at the rag. 1t
was hot day, and We were smoking
and talking when a native came up
the track and sat down with the rest
OF us. Presently he out with a big
revolver and aimed at the rag and
pulled trigger The cartridge didn't
explode, and there was general
laugh over the failure.
1t was sich a blamed nice mark to
shut at that couldn't resist" he ex-
planned, seeming much chagrined.
Perhaps some of you'uns kin drap
that rag"
Everybody out with his gun and be-
gan blazing away, some shooting high
and some low, and we had fusilladed
for five minutes when a second native
appeared, crawling out of the brush
on hands and knees, and as he stood
before Us he said:
What hev | done that you all

Good gracious, man, were you In

Right in thar, stranger, seemed to
me the wah had come back. l didn't

We ran over with him, and sure
enough there was his mule, down on
his back and kicking his last, with
four or five bullets in him.

He took the money and disappeared

val. and they had got long start

Andrew Carnegie. who has just
given TO the city Of Pittsburg one OF
the finest public Libraries in America,
began life as an Office boy. This is
why he gives the following advice to
young men: There are three dan
gers in your path: the first is the
drinking OF liquor, the second is spec
ulation, and the third is endorsing.
When | was telegraph operator al
Pittsburg / knew all the men who
speculated. They were not our citi-
zens Of first repute, but were always
regarded with suspicion. l have
lived TO see all OF them ruined, bank
rupted in character. There is scarce
Iy an instance of a man who has made
a fortune by speculation and kept 1t.
The thorough man Of business knows
that only by patience and unreinit'
ting attention to affairs can he earn
his reward, which is the result, not ol
chance, but OF well-devised means for
the attainment of ends"

A Terror.

In March, 1894, frightful creature,
which Pierre Dispire says was mix
ture of man, bear and wild boar,
made its appearance near Gevaudan,
in France During the summer sew
eral provinces were terrorized by the
awful deeds of the uncanny creature,
which notwithstanding its many dep
relations managed to keep out OF
sight until about the middle OF the
December following, when peasant
woman claimed 70 have met mon
strosity of the most frightful kind
having the body of an alligator, the
tail of lion, the claws of u wolf
and the horrid mocking laugh OF
furnishing hyena.
According to his woman's story the
beast had the head Of a man, with
the skin so tightly drawn over it as to
give it the appearance of death 5
head, the eyes being so deeply sunk
in their sockets as TO be invisible,
although the creature stood directly
in front Of her. The woman told her
story in the village, but was disbeliev-
ed until the following morning, when
ii was ascertained that two little
girls and boy, who had gone TO
pasture with some goats, were miss
ing. In the afternoon of the follow
ing day the head Of the boy was
found in a ravine. No other ira ce
of their whereabouts was ever dis
covered.
The people were now completely
panic stricken; they would search for
the creature only in squads OF twelve
or more, fearing TO separate lest the
brute would devour them. The Leg
islature of Languadoc offered 5000
livres for the animals head, actually
sending out detachment Of mounted
soldiers in search of il. In January
1895, only about three weeks after the
boy and the two little girls were kill
ed by the thing, it attacked some
children who were herding sheep in
the mountains, but all escaped, per
haps by the brute taking IA feast OF
mutton instead.
The day but one following 1t ap-
peared again, this time carrying of
one OF the children. 1t was next
heard of in the vicinity OF Mezel,
when it carried of one woman and
several children, besides, as an old ac-
count says, taking the heade cleane
of NV man. The Gazette de France
published full account OF these raw
ages in February, 1896, and the King
offered 5000 livres to the person or
persons that would capture it. Cap
tain Duhamel of the Dragons organ
lied a general hunt, dressed his men
as women, and having them attended
by children. The hunt was n failure,
and the desolater kept up his ravages
during the spring the summer Of 1865,
until September 20 OF that year,
when it was killed by Sieur Rein
hardt
No one was allowed to see the
creature except the mounted guards
under the Duke Of Orleans. 1t is be-
lieved even to this day that it was
creature unknown and unheard of,
Notwithstanding two reports, one of
which said il WAS black lion, the
other that it was a Russian wolf,
neither of which seems likely when it
is known that it killed and carried of
not less than sixty-three men, women
and children from December, 1764, to
| September, 1866.
