worth Remembering.

No one is likely TO reacn. what we
call success in any department Of life
unless lie has before hin, noble aim,
q high ideal One may shuttle along,
of course, and escape mendicancy, even,
if no ambition stirs him. but the limit
of his career will be marked by the line
that separates between failure and me-
diocrity. Many have ideals they never
reach; some are disappointed and,
soured; but this admitted, it Is still
true that he who stands in the front
has but worked out destiny which in
some form or other took shape in bis
earlier years. There is bud before
there is a flower.

Art Of Sweeping.

In sweeping, take long light strokes,
and do not use too heavy q broom.
"Alice," said Lois, "do you honestly
think sweeping is harder exercise
than playing tennis ?"
1 hesitated. II really don't know.
One never thinks of hard or easy in
tennis. the game is 50 interesting and
then It's out door exercise, and there's
no danger Of inhaling dust"
"Weli, for my part" said Mainrie,
Il like doing work that tells. There
is so much satisfaction in seeing the
figures in the carpet come out bright
ly under my broom Alice, what did
you do to make your reception-room
so splendiferous? Girls, look here
You'd think this carpet had just come
out Of the warehouse"
"Mother often tells Aunt Hetty,"
said I, "to dip the end of the broom in
q pail of water in which she has pour
ed Il little ammOnia-a teaspOontul to
a gallon. The ammonia takes off the
dust and refreshes the colOrs wonder
fully. We couldn't keep house with
out it" finished rather proudly.
Did you bring some from home ?"
asked Maiorie, looking hurt.
"Why, Of course not asked your
mother, and she gave me the bottle,
and told me to take what T wanted"
"a little coarse salt or some damp
tea leaves strewed over q carpet before
sweeping adds ease to the cleansing
process" said Mrs. Downing, appear
ing Oh the scene and praising us for
our thoroughness. "The reason is
that both the salt and the tea leaves
being moist keep down the light float
ing dust, which gives more trouble
than the heavier dirt. But now you
will all be better fo- short rest; so
come into my little snuggery, and
have gossip and Il lunch, and then
You may attack the enemy again. ~

The fact that good men, and even
ministers. follow some particular
course of action does not prove that
it is a right course. Ministers are not
infallible anNm more than editors, or
any other class of men. We all make
lots of mistakes. AS the Rev. Mr..
Sturgeon says, the only mau who
never makes mistakes is the man who
never does anything (which, truth to
tell, is the greatest blunder OF all"
The endorsement Of all the ministers
combined could not make wrong
thing right any more than the con-;
demnation OF all the editors combined
could make right thing wrong. New.
er pin your faith or your conscience to
anyhody's coat-tails, but study the
Word of God for yourself, seeking the
guidance of the Holy Spirit that You
may understand it Alright.

CUrs AMI BRUISES. --Tincture of
heuzoin, or Ba,Ene. de Vir, has no
equal for cuts, scratches, or external
inflammation of any kind. Pour it over
the cut or bruise, wrap up the injured
part, and the trouble will soon be
cured. 1t is apt to cause cut or abra-
sion to smart, but q puff or two from
ones breath will do, away with that;
tbs only the alcohol in solution which
causes the smarting, and that is over
as soon as the alcohol has evaporated.
A friend lately tried the tincture on
badly sprained ankle, and declared the
cure was perfectly wondertul.--lhe

Miss Francis E. Willard tells the

"This thing happened in one of the
Arkansas Townsville Jail was closed,
and there were no cases in court for
some months. and the marshal of the
town said, You might as well abolish
nv office. For one month I have had
no cases of drunken and disordeHy
conduct, and not single arrest save
one for thievipg." You may imagine
the change when mean-spirited busi-
ness man in the community said, "You
no fines. You can't even keep your
sidewalks in repair" Some farmers
standing by laguhed their contemptfor
the speech. and one of them said to
the Test: "What a pity it is, boys, that;
q lot of us can't be jecked up by the
marshal, carried off to court, and saw
ed up into the right length for side
walks"

RAGING ELEMENTS.
The Snow King Again Waging War
Against the Railroads.

The Snow King Again Waging War
Against the Railroads.
The fresh outbreak of the storm has
brought trouble to the railroads again.
Late Tuesday night the west bound
freight train, loaded largely with live stock,
was derailed in the snow sheds near Emf
grant Gap, and the result was a cave of the
sheds for some distance, and serious
wreck. Several head of stock were killed,
and the fact that the sheds were weighted
down with hundreds of tons of snow when
they fell did not serve to help matters. A
crew was promptly dispatched to the
scene, and after working all night the road
was finally cleared and the train sent on
its way yesterday.
It was not long after this, though, that
the second. class west bound overland train
passed through Truckee. 1t had proceeded
about five miles westward when it was
caught in heavy snowslide. The engine
got through all right but the slide caught
nearly all of the cars and nearly buried
them. One hundred and fifty shovel
ers were sent from Truckee Immediately
to dig the snow from under the wheels and
clear the track. This was accomplished
after six hours hard work The delayed
train reached this city at about . o'clock
this morning. 1t was due at 6;25 Pm.
The storm is still raging on the Shasta
route and the Oregon Express, due here
this morning, will not arrive here until to-
night. All outgoing freight trains were
tied up last night and will rot be sent out
until through passage is insured.
Owing to the fact that many of the wires
were down last night, information regard
ing the trains was very meagre.

RIVER CONVENTION
An Important Meeting to be Held in this
City Tomorrow.

An Important Meeting to be Held in this
City Tomorrow.
The Convention of river counties called
by the Board of Trade of this city to con-
slider methods of improving the condition
of the Sacramento river, and to take action
looking to the proper presentation of its
views TO Congress, will meet in this city
tomorrow.
This will be one of the most important
assemblages of the year, as upon its action
may depend the future usefulness of the
chief river in the State, which is now in a
deplorable condition, and yearly becoming
worse. The time has come when some.
thing should and must be done-if the
Sacramento river is 10 be used for Davigable
purposes in the futuTe-and TO protect from
destruction large portion OF the great val
ley through which it courses. The counties
that have been requested to send delegates
to the Convention are all largely interested
in having the river improved, and it is ex-
pected their representatives will be men of
sound and practical views on the subject to
be considered and acted upon. Their in
terests are identical, and they should have
little difficulty in agreeing upon what
should be done, and the proper mode of
procedure to accomplish the best results.
AT Marysyille yesterday the delegates Sc
lected 10 represent Yubs and Suffer coun-
ties held meeting, atswhich it was unaAi-
mously resolved that the Convention should
ask Congress for a large appropriation for
the improvement of the navigable waters of
the San Joaquin, Sacramento and Feather
rivers and their tributaries. The improve.
ment of the Feather river was declared to
be especially important to these counties.

Capitol building tonight, the occasion be-
ing the grand bali to aid in increasing the

will present Locke Richardson, the world
famed elocutionist, at the Congregational
Church Friday evening of this week. The

are the very richness of intelligence. No
dialect seems too difficult for him, and the
who'd world of sentiment and feeling is
open to his full comprehension" The
San Francisco Gail says: The tones seem
TO linger in the air and to abide with US, so
exquisite was the rendering. 1t was hard
to realize that the characters were not
actually present. We see how it was done,

fore P. NJ. yesterday was not appreciable
in amount at that hour. The barometer at
5 A. NJ. and P. NJ. stood at 80 "a and % 90

Careless Shooting.

Mrs. George w. Kicker, who lives with
her family in The alley back of the REC
oRD-UNIoN Office, is seriously alarmed at
the frequency with which leaden bullets
come flying about her back yard of late
Yesterday several shots came, one Of the
balls Embedding itself in the panel of the
kitchen door, which might have killed her
or one of her children.
The shots come, apparently, from the
rear of some K-street store near to and
east of the City Hotel. 1t is probable that
the deadly small boy is around after cats,
with his air-gun. and he had better be
muzzled before he kills some one.

He Would Rise in the World, but Now
He VIII Not.
Johnny Huber is the name of q little
lad who does not go TO Sunday school, and
hence has not learned the seventh COM
mandment. Notwithstanding this, Johnny
wants to rise in the world. Finding, how
ever, that be was not getting along as rap
idly in his upward career as he desired, he
started out last evening to make final
desperate effort. Upon passing McMorrey's
grocery store, on the corner of Third and
n streets, he observed a box of yeast pow
der near the door. "RisiDgs Just what
l wants !" calculated Johnny, and a second
later he was scooting up Third street, with
the box under his arm. But Johnny's
ambitions were nipped in the bud by police
officer Franks, who happened to witness
the operation from the other side Of the
street. The youngster was overhauled,
and now he languishes in a dungeon cell,
with all hopes Of being a future President
of the United States lost forever.
