A Conscience-Stricken Dog.

There was sad case of breach of trust in
Atlanta the other day. An old blind man
was being led down Marietta street by dog
just at the time when the sidewalks were
most crowded and the roadway was full of
vehicles. Long experience had taught the
blind man to trust to his four-footed guide,
and he went along feeling certain that he
tempting bone few feet from the sidewalk
attracted the dogs attention. He looked
at it wistfully for a moment, and then, un-
able to Withstand the temptation, he went
after it. Unconscious of danger, the blind
man followed the dog, and before any one
could put ont hand to save him he was
under the feet of passing horse. The
driver pulled up his team just in time. and
the blind man escaped with his hat knocked
off. Remorse must have Immediately seized
the dog, for he led the blind man back to
the sidewalk and refused to look at the bona

Heaven has gathered up every thing that Is worth having. Tho treasures Of the whole universe have poured into 1t. The song fill The ranks full. Tho mansions full Heaven full. The sun shall set Aflre with splendos tho domes of the temples, and bnrnish the golden streets into blaze and ba reflected back from the solid pearl of the twelve gates and it shall be noon in Heaven, noon on the river, noon on the hills. noon in all the valleys-high noon Then the soul may look up gradually accustoming itself to the vis- ion, shading the eyes as from tho al- most insufferable splendor of the noon- day light, until the vision can endure 1t, then crying out: Thou art the sun that never sets!"
 At this point am staggered with the thought that notwithstanding all the charm in the name of Jesus, and the fact that it Is so easy q name, and So enduring name, and so beautiful a name, and so potent name, there are people who find no charm in those two syllables Oh, come this day and see whether there is any thing in Jesus. challenge those of you who are farther from God to come at the close of this service and test with me whether God is good, and Christ is gracious, and the Holy Spirit is omnip- otent. challenge you to come and kneel down with me at the altar of mercy. I will kneel on one side of the altar and you kneel on the other side of it. and neither of us will rise up until our sins are forgiven, and as we ascribe, Tn the words of the text, all honor to the name of Jesus--you pronouncing it, l pronouncing it--the name that is above every name.
 His worth, if all tho nations khsw,
 Sure the whole earth would love Him. too.
 Oh, that God to-day, by the power of His holy spirit, would roll over you vision of that blessed Christ, and you would begin to weep and pray and be- lieve and rejoice. You have heard of the warrior who went out to fight against Christ. He knew he was in the wrong, and, while waging the war against the Kingdom of Christ, an ar row struck him and he fell. It pierced him in the heart, and lying there, his face to the sun, his life blood running away, he caught handful of the blood that was rushing out in his right hand, and held it up before the sun and cried out.
 70 Jesus, thou has conqueredi"
 And if to-day the arrow of God spirit piercing your soul, you felt the truth of what have been trying to proclaim, you would surrender now and forever tc the Lord who bought you. Glorious name! know not whether you will ac- cept it or not; but I will tell you one thing here and now, in the presence oi angels and men, take Him to be my Lord, my God, my peace, my life, m5 joy, my salvation, my Heaven.
 Blessed be His glorious name for. ever. The name that is above every name"

EXERCISE FOR BOYS.
4 Well-Equipped Athletic Field Wanted
 in Every Village.

q well- Equipped Athletic Field Wanted
 in Every Village.
 A well-equipped athletic field, with room for football, baseball, running track, and, in short, complete athletic outfit, in every village in America hay. ing population of from 10, 900 down to 300, would do more to promote good health, good heads and good morals than-but I am at a loss for com parison. The good to be done seems in estimable. And if all this is too much, let some good man in each of these vil- lages give the boys five, or four or three or even two acres of land, even though it was worth S100 per acre, for a village playground. Boys and young mon naturally love play, outdoor sports of every kind, and under a little healthy stimulus and careful direction this natural taste can be developed and strengthened.
 No boy is going to sit around a saloon of any sort when by going few steps he can witness frst-class game of base ball, or, what is better still, can take part in one. Boys are not constructed that way. Notice in tine cities how all sorts of boys, and young men, too, are eager to witness a game of ball; how much more eager to play it l would not say that the ordinary professional game of ball is the best thing for boy to attend, but it is not the game that is at fault Fortunately there is no pro fessional football as yet. Moreover, if you provide the opportunity for one or two hours hard physical exercise in the afternoon, you need not worry about tho evening. There is no safeguard quite so good against nocturnal deyiations as good, healthy, all-around tiredness.
 Why is not that which is good for our college boys good for all our boys? Why is not that which is good for boys in large towns good for boys in small towns? Why has not the boy of the country villages just as good a right to the opportunity to distinguish him self in the great games of the Nation as any boy whatsoever? Are we going too far to encourage athletics? Let us an- swer the question by asking whether WIG can go too far to encourage health? Do we shudder at the possible danger of be- coming a Nation of athletes? The Greeks in all their glory were that, and their athletes were not trained alone in academic halls and city gymnasiums. = Christian Union.

TIE CANADIAN TIGER.
Tn strength and Ferocity the Panther Ills Hut Few Rivals

m strength and Ferocity the Panther Has Hut Few Rivals.
 Perhaps the grizzly of the Rocky mountains takes precedence of all North American beasts as the terror and de- light of hunters. In strength he is ter rife, and he neither shows fear in the presence of many nor exhibits any special desire to court seclusion. In strength and sayagery he has $ rival in the panther, puma or cougar, ss the animal is variously called. This beast, though ranking, according to some au- thorities, as third among the cat farni- lies, and only surpassed in strength and ferocity by the lion and Bengal tiger, Is ordinarily very retiring, and, perhaps r1ore than any other animal on this continent, avoids the sight of man. it ls only when brought to bay that his Enormous strength and agility are dis played. A few years ago an instance of this was afforded by cougar in the Adj rondacks seizing a hunter by the shoul- ders and bearing him in single leap over the top of hcmlock tree.
 The encounter of brave woman with panther near Vancouver, E. C., is reminder not only of the audacity of the animal in invading tho haunts of man, but of the presence yet in Canada of this most famous of the cats of America. The panther is usually associated in the mind with the tropical regions of Amer lea or the territories bordering on the Mexican frontier. But, if much less frequent than formerly, when he proved pest of New England pioneers, he still IS found here and there, probably as far north as he ever ranged. He still lin- gers in the forests and mountains of British Columbia and of Northern New York, and is said to be yet found in Gaspe and elsewhere near the St. Law renee. It is only few years since a panther weighing nearly two hundred pounds was shot in Northern Maine. In Ontario it Is probable that he may yet haunt some of the swamps and thickets, Within fourteen years an eight foot puma was killed in the county oi Middlesex and another in North Wellington. A panther hunt by score or more of farmers, who had lost many sheep through the stealthy visits of the famous depredator of olden days, was amongst the exciting events of rual locality in Huron County about a dozen years ago. The marvellous seclusion ordinarily preserved by the beast is probably one reason why it is so rarely seen by hunters or any one else ''On Fries banks the tiger steals alone. wrote Campbell long ago The visits of the beast to the barnyard have since be- come more lonely and stealthy.
 ] The northern range of our ,felts eoncol0r has parallel amongst the big cats of Asia, for the Bengal tiger is found in the iungles of the Amour river, in a climate where the mercury falls lower in winter than at Quebec. Toronto Elm pirp

FEMALE EDUCATION.
Some Reasons Showing Why 1t should
 Be Based on Solid Studies.

Be Based on hoiu ctuhics.
 Solid studies constitute the strongest and very best foundation on which the structure of womens education can re- pose. From girihood to death Mrs. Browning was an invalid. But in early womanhood she was mistress of classical and scientific lore, as we'll as of mathe- matical knowledge. Back of her massive compositions lay a brimmed reservoir of learning. Early and long she grap- pied with a masculine range of studies. Brain power and erudition were con- cealed behind her genius. The solidity of her songs has won the encomiums of the most distinguished poets. The poems of her transatlantic sisters, Joanna, Baillie, Felicia Hemans. Han nah More and Charlotte Elliott are sweet and pathetic, but in weight and compactness of thought this Empress of Female Poets" transcends them Her cisatlantic compeers of fame, Lydia H.. Sigourney, Frances $. Osgood and Alice and Phoebe Cary must yield to her the chaplet of the laureate. The atmosphere of her inner life was as aromatic as that of her adopted Italy.
 No young woman can afford to ex, change disciplinary studies for those purely ornamental Intellectual growth the drill and training of the under standing and will, the education of the highest faculties are poised on the mastery of classical, philosophical, scientific, historical and ethical works. No one should underrate vocal and in- strumental music, painting, drawing, embroidery or elocntion in a girls edu- cation. They are os value But let them he the ornamental about the edi- flee of culture. Their true position is of a supplementary nature. Golden Rule.

FRENCH TAILOR GOWNS.
models Which Should Recommend Them. selves to Sensible Women.

"Si' "Htch Shouid Recommend Them i- selves to Sensible Women.
 The tailor gown when modified by Parisian taste is deprived of it's severely simple style, and becomes much more showy than the trim and tasteful gown made by London tailors This is true even when it is made of the roupbest stuffs, of woolens that are almost as thick as blanket, and is especially true In the elaborate bodices that are made Tor somewhat plain skirts. For exam pie, Felix sends with tobacco-brown skirt of checked wool, made in the straight English fashion so often de- scribed, a basque of darker brown faced cloth, opening on double-breasted waistcoat of pale lawn cloth, which is cut out at the top like mans waist coat, and discloses there a shirt front of pale blue crepe dc Chine, box-plaited. feather-stitched, and tucked in the pret- tiest way. The blue crepe extends un to form the front of standing collar. while the back is of the dark cloth turned down. The top of the waistcoat IS edged with galloon of jet and gold beads, and there are two lengthwise .SfS VI NNe-SiANSA buttOHS Scb on the darts below the bust. The coat sleeves are full enough at the top to be gathered and set high in the armholes, and they have inside cuffs of pale fawn cloth ex- tending in points up the arm, and bordered around the waist with the jet and gold galloon.
 Another French tailor model gives the effect of an over-skirt of bordered fabric draped on plain lower skirt that is bound with fur. Thus a brown cam eIs-hair oyer-skirt has eight or ten stripes along it's selyage, alternately of light lawn and black, and above these are graduated disks of dark brown, lawn and black, growing smaller toward the top. This over-skirt has all It's ful- ness at the back, and is merely short- cned trifie on each side to show plain wool skirt. deeply bound with black Persian lamb fur. Tho bodice here again is fanciful, tho back basque with festooned edges, and the front pointed. with bib-like piece of the plain wool drawn up to the shoulders, and cleft below the throat to show a V of velvet. its edges being bound with fur. The high collar is made specially elegant by being covered with folds of black chiffon monsseline that end in a large Louis Quatorze erayat bow. The sleeves are in ieg-o'-mntton shape, with bindinr of fur at the wrists. -Harper's Bazar

HAS AGENTS EvERYwHERE.a
The Wonderful Success or Great in-
 surance Corporation.

The Wonderful Success or Great tn-
 surance Corporation,
 The Phenix Of Brooklyn is one of the wonders of fire insurance, and one Of the famous companies of the world. Its rapid rise in popular favor is without parallel. Tho familiar sign serhe Phenix of Brook lyn Has Agents Everywhere,p while ap- parcntly exaggerativc, is almost literally true so far as the United States is con cerned. Should tho reader, no matter who or where, wonder whether the Company is representedin his place, he has only to make an inquiry ''down town" to be convinced. Its agents are workers. The Phenix moves, and this in part explains it's success. An other explanation is that it is as prompt and active in the settlement of losses as in the pursuit of premiums.
 The headquarters of the Company's West ern and Southern Department are located in it's own building at Chicago. In the West and South it does business as large as, if not larger than, that of any other company In farm insurance it leads Last year it's premium receipts in this ter ritory were over s2, ,400,0 ssNothing sue ttCdS llhC SuttNcs. but ihS lSoo ei'io Ncti'- pany materially strengthened it's assets and net surplus, it's funds now aggregating over four million seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The company was the first to pay loss resulting from the Chi cago fire Itpaid s425, ,oo0 to sufferers from that disaster and S450,0O0 to Boston the year following.
 Since its orranization in 1S53 the Phenix has paid losses representing nearly thirty eight times it's present cash capital, the to- tai payments being S37 ,720, ,621-6o The re lief afforded by the redistribution of this vast amount among the people cannot be accurately determined. It has supplemented credit, promoted trade and fostered all in dustries- Great numbers of commercial establishments have thus been enabled to substitute the new for the old, while still greater number of private homes have been restored from their ashes and ruins.

Terrible Allment Much Resembling se-
 we're Nervous Prostration.
 Divers bends" is the vernaeular for form of caisson disease, a complaint new enough to have only one literary sponsor in this country, Dr, Andrew H. smith, who was surgeon to the New York Bridge Compony at the time when the big span was building over the East river. Compressed air was first en- ployed in the sinking of piers in 1850, when railway bridge was constructed over the Medway, between Rochester and Chatham. Tho caissons of the Brooklyn bridge were wooden boxes lO2 by 172 feet, the roof under which the men worked when the caisson had been put in position, upside down, on the river bottom, being 9 feet high. When the caisson had been weighted down to the river bottom by courses of granite laid on top of 1t, air was pumped into it until the water had been entirely forced ont and the bot tom Of the river left dry. In this atmosphere of compressed air the men worked and suffered, as men in nearly all such surroundings suffer-diyers. caisson-workers, or what not--from divers bends" or caisson disease When they return to the open air they arc attacked, as Dr. Smith found. by nervous prostration. The cavities con nected with the nasal passage. such as the ears and the frontal and maxillarv sinuses, were elogged, and in some cases stopped up while the men were at work, n, the men were at work were noticed by Dr. Smith. When coming out from a dlying-bel the sufferers from divers bends often reel and stagger like drunken men along West street. Very recently diver suffering from the blends" was taken to city hospital with one side apparently paralyzed He was treated by electricity and recovered the next day.-N. Y, Cor.
