A BEAUTIFUL HYMN.

"Jesus, Lover OF My Soul," Charles
Wesley's hymn. is the most generally
accepted and beloved of all Christian
lyrics. Henry Ward Beecher, when
speaking of his fathers love for it, once
said: II would rather have written
that hymn than to have the fame of all
the kings that ever ruled on earth. 1t
is more glorious. 1t has more power
in 1t. l would rather be the author of
that hymn lhau hold the wealth of the
richest man in America. lie will die.
He is dead, and does not know it. He
will pass. after a little while, out of
mems thoughts What will there be to
say of him? What will he have done
TO stop trouble, or encourage hope?
His money will go to his heirs. and
they will divide it. And they will die
and it will go to their heirs. In three
or four generations everything comes
to the ground again for redistribution.
But that hymn will go OIL singing until
the last trump brings forth from every
land the children of God, and then il
will mount mp on some lip to the very
presence of God.n

July 5, With l07 pounds up, breaking
Ten Broeck's record OF :39Y which has
stood since 1877, is black bay colt by
Bishop AS Ten 3r0cck made his record
as Il ti,g-year old win ohly Il0 pounds
up and in II SPECIAL trial against time,
Rariuc's record made in race is far
more creditable performance. The fact
that the record was made al the WASH
ington Park track, however, will always
cast suspicion on 1t. az people will not
accept as correct performances done on
track where the worst eff skates are
daily breaking records. Bisnop, the
sire of Racine, is n sou of the Palo Alto
sire, Shannon, nnd was at his best
taIr race horse although knocked about
aud i!lu.ed in the east. lie rated with

GutIenburg. lie was sold 10 Captain
Franklin, Of Tennessee. and Racine's

Fairy Rose was bred by Leopold dc
ltothschild and was purchased and i'm

is mare OF qheenly form and one of
the favOrite thoroughbreds at Palo
Alto. Racine was bred at Palo Alto
and started ~ q year. old in California
twelve tim 8, Ueing besten but once,
that beng in his maiden race, at half q
mile. He aud his stable companion,
Flambeau, were the sensations of last
year ON the Pacific slope, and this
spring they swept all before them in
California. Ii was at one time propos-
ed to send both colts east in the Hearst
stable, but Flambeau went wrong and
the idea was abandoned. However
Racine's racing qualities were let to the
Undine stable, in wb ,se colors he now
runs. After he ran his first race at
Washington park, mile in al, he
was pronounced record breaker, and
those who knew bin best were least
surprised when he broke the record at
Chicago. A meeting between Racine,
Burlington and Tournament would
probably settle the question as to the 81
year.old championship. Racine will,
no donbl, when his racing days are
over, be installed at the head of the
thoroughbred department at Palo
Alto.

TOO TRUE.

A distinguished writer once said:
"Ohc father can support dozen boys,
bat dozen boys cannot support one
father : Sad il is that ii is so, but a;as
there is too much truth In the state

the land who, after spending the earn
ings of lite in caring for and rearing
a family, find, when the end approaches
aud they are bowed down with the
weight of years and worn ont with the
contact with the trials OF lite, there is
no welcome for them, no easy chair at
the iireside for them among all those
who have reaped the profits of their
toll and hardships. There many forms
of ingratitude in the world, but none is
so bad as that which induces a child to
treat his parents with GOODNESS and in
difference when they have grown old
and are worn out.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, rs they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion or prostration,
another with pain here or there, and In this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent or ovcrbusy
doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
suming them to be such, when, in reality, they
are all only symptoms caused by some womb
disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause
of suffering, encourages his prdcttce" until
large bills arc made. The suffering patient
gets no better, but probably worse by reason
of the delay, wrong treatment and conse-
quent complications. A proper medicine, like
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription directed to
the cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dispelling all those Distress

stead of prolonged misery.

to bring about free trade with the
South American states, so as to enlarge

In the meantime something must he
done to cajOle once more the farmers so
that they will stop their senseloss de-
mands for some explanation of present
conditions. These unreasonable Great
ures want to know why they are each
year becoming poorer, while the pro
tected manufacturers are each year
richer. Why the value ot farming
products and farming land is constant
ly decreasing and the deposits in the
savings banks of manufacturing states
ana the dividends OF manufacturing
companies are constantly increasing.
Somebody must answer these ques-
tiOns at once and 80 the superintendent
of the census, Col. Robt. p. Porter, who
is paid from the public treasury to take
the census OF the present year, finds
time amidst his arduons official duties
to explain the causes of agricultural
depression.
COL. PORTER'S EXPLANATION.
In the National Economist of April
IL is AL article from Col. Porter n
which he states that "last year the
agricultural products imported or
which duty was levied aggregated
$3.50. 900 .000."
This enormous importation. according
to Col. Porter, depreciates the price o.
agricultural products in the United
States and causes depression
The farmers of this country will bt
amazed to learn that the duty on sugar
is for their benefit aud intended tt
exclude a competing product. The
author of the Mckinley bill claims the
especial gratitude of the farmer fol
decreasing the duty OH raw sugar, ant
thereby relieving him from payment o
the larger import duty which increases
cost to the consumer. Col. Porter
however, claims that sugar is com
peting agricultural product, and is al
important factor in explaining the
the present depression of farming In
terests. He includes it, therefore, il
the following table OF agricultural i'm
ports:

Col. Porter places the value of i'm

reasons superior for brewing purposes

brewers are compelled to have it.
