The Power OF Kind Words.

Some time ago city pastor was APP
pealed to for advice by an almost heart
broken wife, who had been suffering a
series of long-continued wrongs from
the ungoverned temper of an abusive
husband. The conversation, consider
ably condensed, was substantially as
follows:
WOMAN come to you with sad
message, but you will forgive me when
| tell you that my suffering has been so
long and so severe that my nervous
system is breaking down under it and
my life is becoming one of terrible de-
spair. And as she added, half hesitat-
ingly, a few sentences descriptive of
the unkind words with which She was
assailed, and the abuse she daily re-
ceived, her emotion found vent in tears
and sObs.
PAsToR-EIas your husband always
been unkind to you?
WoMAN-Oh, no; at first, and for
two or three years, he was passably kind.
PAsToR-May ask you to give me
the cause of the change?
WoMAN-Reverses in business, pov-
erty and sickness, and general discour-
agement. The world went i'll with us,
and my husband couldn't bear it.
PAsToR-And how did you bear it?
WOMAN tried to be heroic and pa
tient under the burdens, and kept up
till hard words were used.
PAsToR-And then?
WoMAN-I chafed under them, and,
as they grew worse and worse, my pa
thence became exhausted and my home
place of sadness.
PAsToR-Did you describe your
troubles to others?
WoMAN-Never; l would not do
that; but l have shut myself up, and
suffered on, until l can not endure it
longer. You are the first one to whom
have described our home griefs.
PAsToR-My dear woman, | think
there is help for you.
WoMAN-Help for me'2
PAsToR-And possibly a cure for
your home troubles.
WoMAN-Where? How?
PAsToR-The remedy is simple-the
simplest possible-and within your
reach. And think it will not only
bring present relief, but also transform
your home into one of happiness. Re-
turn home with the purpose, and pray
for divine help, ,chich wiU surely be giren
yOu, to meet your husband with smile,
and respond to him only with words of
kindness. He may not deserve them :;
but however difficult it may be, keep
it up for the next six weeks, and then
come and tell me the result.
With grateful and half-hopeful
"Thank you, sir-I ociN try it-and
may heaven help mel" the woman re-
tired.
In six weeks the bell of the PASTORS
study rang again. 81 have won himl
With Gods help | have conquered my
self, and our home is lovely" were the
joyous words which greeted the pas
tors salutation. The story was soon
told" Kindness did it," Two weeks
later the husband was member of the
same church with his wife.
Aim, then, at the cultivation of
honey words-then speak honey and
look sunny. An old philosopher has
said that the woman that maketh good
pudding in silence is better than one
that maketh tart reply. No one likes
to be stung, and no one should like to
sting others. All like to be treated
with kindness and spoken to with
gentleness. Ifall strive thus to "speak
gently" they will soon learn that it is
easier to kill by love than fear. 1t is
the mightiest force in the world, and
conquers where harsh words fail

The Empty Nest.

Before my ice-bound door there swings
An empty nest upon leaiiess bough;
No more Its happy builder sings
The nest Is bare, and cold and cherries now.
So. In the winter Of my care,
When dreams have from my sad heart fed
IT'S bare and cold and cherries there
The snow has covered all, and hope Is dead
Yet in the sweet, lfe.giying spring,
The bird may build again before my door;
Dreams may come back, my sad heart sing,
With the glad bird, in hopeful life once more.

Rare Fortitude In a Dog.

Many of the sportsmen of Whining
ton will perhaps remember Sailor, the
fine pointer dog Of Mr.. J. A. Brown, of
Chadbourn. He was an extraordinary
hunter and retriever, with almost hu-
man tact, and his owner valued him at
several hundred dollars. A few days
ago this fine dog was run over by the
train at Chadbourn, and his left fore leg
was crushed off, leaving piece of the
bone protruding.
Mr.. Brown hated to kill his valuable
and faithful dog, so he got DR.. A. Nc
Kinnon to amputate the crushed men,
ber. When the operation was perform
ed Sailor obeyed the command to Lie
down, and never even gave whimper
when the work was done. The poor ami
mails muscles were contracted with
pain, but with few sympathetic ca
resses FROM his master he lay perfectly
still until the amputation was perform

Stole Rusts from a Cemetery

That too ingenious person who stole
bronze and marble busts from the ceme-
terry of Montparnasse, touched them up
and sold them as efigies of famous he
roes, statesmen or orators, has at last
met with the punishment which his
lugubrious labors deserved. Moreau,
for SO the new kind Of resurrection
man." to adopt the phrase of Dickens, is
called, came up before the eighth tri-
bunal of police, and was soon sentenced
to three years imprisonment.
The singular thefts perpetrated by
Moreau in the cemetery long passed un-
perceived. He was accordingly able to
make some money by his dismal and de-
plorable transactions, and it is consid-
cred probable that many of his trans
formed busts now adorn not only the
humble homesteads of artisans in Paris,
but also the libraries and museums of
some provincial towns. On one occa-
sion he is said to have sold the efigy Of
a worthy professor of the Sorbonne as
that of famous general of the revolu-
ton, while on another he passed off the
bronze presentment Of a departed grocer
as that of Demosthenes. Paris Cor.

Six Minutes, Stop for a wedding.

Mr.. Win E. Robinson, Of. Beallsville,
and Miss Lou Jeffrey, Of East Bethle-
hem, boarded the train at West Browns
vile and centrived to get married on the
fly while coming to this city.
The party did not wish to be married
at the home of the groom, and Mr.. Rob-
inson could not get leave of absence
80 as to get a marriage license in this
city, and how to get married away from
home, take trip and be back for duty
on Monday morning was the question to
be solved, and Mr.. D. M. Watt, super
intendent Of the Monongahela division
Of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Col.
Chill Hazard helped the interested
couple out of an interesting dilemma.
Mr.. Watt had the train stopped at
Monongahela City. Editor Hazard had
secured the attendance Of the Rev. ]. T.
Riley, of the Methodist Episcopal church,
on the depot platform. Mr.. Robinson
and Miss jeffrey stepped from the train
to the platform, and the Rev. Mr.. Riley
pronounced the ceremony without vast
ing any time.
The train stopped at 6:14 o'clock p. m.
and was again on Its way at 5:21, the
ceremony occupying just three minutes.
An immense crowd had assembled at
the station, and band was playing the
wedding march as the bride and groom
stepped upon the platform. AS the
happy pair stepped back aboard the train
the crowd showered rice upon them un-
til they were literally covered.-Pitts-

rhs Bones or srirubsau.

A couple of years ago there was great
quest for the bones Of Mozart. Now 1t
Is for the bones Of Mirabeau. The play
ground Of boys school near the Boule-
ward Saint Marcel has been torn up, and
an amazing number Of bones and skele-
tons have certainly been discovered, but
no one can say which of them are the re-
mains Of the great hero of the Revolu-
ton. The skeleton, wherever it is, has
had strange experiences. Mirabeau died
in 1871, and on the 4th Of April his body
was conveyed with extraordinary pomp
to the Pantheon. His was the first in
terment in the great temple that was to
hold the ashes Of the noblest Frenchmen.
A couple of years afterward papers
were discovered that proved the peoples
idol had received considerable sums Of
money from Louis XVI. So it was de-
cided to cancel the public burial, and, in
fact, to remove the bones. This was in
effect done. but they should be buried
somewhere. The leaden coffin was car
ried off to the cemetery Of Saint Marcel.
a grave yard used for the interment Of
criminals. And now when the bones
are wanted they cannot be identiAed.
No leaden coffin can be discovered, and
the authorities are uncertain whether to
select q skeleton and do it vicarial hon.
age or let matters revert to their old
condition.-Pal Mall Gazette.

Of the life of one of tho brightest news
paper men Michigan ever saw. Fifteen
years ago Elder, who had graduated at
Amherst college with high honors and
obtained his diploma from the law school,
came to Michigan as newspaper man.

kind, and he could call to mind the very
page and paragraph Of any quotation

learned to play chess and became en-

eight wheel cars as large as ordinary
steam railroad coaches, and capable Of
carrying sixty passengers. The line
runs from Market street station through
the busiest part of the city, and the cars
were sandwiched in between the horse
cars Of other lines, but increased speed
was made, and the day passed without
horse being seriously frightened or a col
lision occurring. One passenger had his
arm broken by coming in contact with
one Of the central poles while waving a
salute out of the window to friend on

the events Of the season there, and on
this account, and because my time was
almost entirely taken up by the law

been very kind to me. His house is a
sort of center, his Sunday evenings being
delightful occasions where one may
meet a score of writers, sculptors and

Both Dobson and Gosse are directly in
line for the laureateship when it shall
fall vacant, though no one knows who
will get it. I am indebted to both Of
them for much personal kindness. Gosse
is a good sized, handsome man, of the
blonde English type, with the cheeriest
face and voice, and wherever he goes il
grows warm and comfortable. Dobson
is somewhat older. Both of them strike
me as being among the most cultured

A Four Thousand Pound Cheese.

At the cheese factory in East Otto re-
Gently here was put in the hoop the big
gest cheese ever made in this region, and
probably the largest ever made in the
United States. II measures five feet in
diameter and is thirty-nine inches high.
Its weight when cured will be 1000
pounds, and fully 5000 pounds Of milk
was used in its manufacture. The
abundant pasturage made the September
milk unusually rich, SO this huge cheese
is expected to be Of prime quality.
About four weeks will be required to
cure it thoroughly. This record breaker
was made for grocery house of Cncin-
matt, who are about to occupy large
new building. 1t is wanted as an at
