"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in

The story about the recent New
York Cleveland conference may
be all right in substance, but it
certainly gets the details a little
mixed up when it states that SEN
ator German has entered a COM
pact to work for Cleveland's nomi-
nation. If Cleveland receives the
nomination, German, being party
man, will support him, but it has
long been an open secret among
his friends that he would do so
with great reluctance, and it would
be safe to wager largely that all
the ante-convention German does
will be against Cleveland and not
for him.

The Sunday Law.
From the Sabbath Recorder.

From the Sabbath kecoruer,
 It is we'll that the case of R. M. King, Seventh Day Adventist, of Obion County, Tenn, is to be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States for adjudication. It will be remembered that he was heavily fined in the lower court for quietly working on his farm on Sunday, and that his defense as a Sabbath keeper was disregarded. The decision has been sustained by the higher courts in the State, and hence the final appeal to the Supreme Court of the nation, There have been several similar cases in which the Seventh Day Adventists and Seventh Day Baptists have been thus persecuted. Prejudice and ignorance have thus combined to produce state of things like that which existed in the middle ages. Such cases denote revival of the bigotry which burned Protestants and Papists in the stormy days of the English reformation. It seems incredi- ble that such things can be Tn the last decade of the nineteenth century. They are part and parcel of the new crusade represented by the American Sabbath Union, and the attempt to save the fall ing fortunes of Sunday by civil law. We are glad that the highest tribunal of the nation is to pass upon this case. Every Sabbath keeper is directly in volved in the results which are likely to flow from that decision. The whole status of the Sunday laws of the United States is also likely to be much affected, pro and con, by the verdict of the court. Let that verdict hasten.

The sting of reproach is the truth of it.

To be furious in religion is to be ire
ligiously religious.
"A guilty weight upon the heart takes
the sun out of the sky.
Pray that you may not think evil, and

A Plea for the Knife.

We are not so enamored of the knife
as to favor its use in preference to the
fork as means of conveying ones food
to ones mouth. On the contrary, we
are as much opposed to this use of the
knife as any one possibly could be. But
we hold, nevertheless, that the knife
should not be utterly ignored at the ta-
BILE.
Where, for instance, the pie crust set
before you is excessively infexible there
is sort of constructive insult to your
hostess in your vain attempts to cut
through it with a fork Its toughness is
made obvious by your exertions. and in
endeavoring to cut the pie crust you
only succeed in cutting into the sensibil-
tiles of your hostess. By using your
knife. on the contrary, your pie crust is
divided into eatable portions with neat
ness and dispatch, and its firmness of
texture is remarked by no one.
We are sure that no genuine pie lover
will deny that in cutting ones pie with
ones knife and carrying it piece by piece
to the mouth by aid of the fork, ample
recognition is accorded to the demands
of etiquette; for, to thoroughly enjoy
ones pie, neither knife nor fork is neces-
sary. As a matter of fact, either is an
impertinence. The true and only salts
flying way to eat pie is to take it up in
ones hand, and by gently but firmly
pressing the pointed end of the wedge in
ones mouth to slough off its benefcence
with grateful teeth until its richness is
all your own. This is the way to enjoy
pie. But we are not talking of enjoy
ment.
Our business is with etiquette. There
fore we will relegate the true form of
pie eating to the privacy of the cupboard,
where the hasty snack is taken. All we
insist upon in the name of true etiquette
is that the knife should do its share of
the labor, and that the fork should not
be compelled unassisted to bear the heat
and burden of dissection.-Boston Tran

Making Light of a Rnrden,

The period of putting on spectacles is
often long deferred by middle aged peo-
pie, who ''hate to seem DID," or dislike
confessing to themselves that they have
reached one of the significant turning
points of life. People have, however,
different ways of accepting the newt
able. One charming woman, who has
passed this visual limit, declares that
her comfort is thereby daily increased.
81 was always so lazy!" she says.
Nevertheless, had to do thousand

Another woman, and very pretty

wearing her cross.

air of having always worn them" she
confesses. 81 can't help hoping that
people will think me near sighted from
childhood"
But dear old gentleman, who can't
see without glasses, actually goes to the
length of declaring that he doesn't need
them at all. He proves the case by
standing at distance from print and
reading it without difficulty.
There's nothing the matter with nv
eyes," he then explains humorously.

Vespucius, Descendant.

1t is rather remarkable that so many
men identified with the early history of
this continent should have living de-
scendants. Many of rs remember the
lady who visited New York some years
ago who claimed descent from Americus
Vespucius, and had a conviction on hel
mind that the Congress of the United
States ought to bestow some kind OF
pecuniary recognition on the name.
Congress was not in pensioning frame
of mind and she returned home no richer
than she came.
Her visit, however, led to a close in
vestigation of the career of her ances-
tor, which resulted in the discovery that
the word America originated in a name
given by the natives to portion of the
coast which he visited. Nevertheless
the lady is believed to have been hneally
descended from Americus Vespucius, or
rather the person whose name was Lat
inized into that form.-Chicago Times

The Oldest Family.

In matter of antiquity Mohammed
must yield precedence to the Chinese phil
osopher, Confucius, who died 479 years
before the Christian era. There is no
known race that can boast of an antiquity
like his On the occasion of the death of
the Chinese statesman, known in Europe
and America as the Marquis Tsang, we
learned that his title of nobility was
due, not to any connection with Con-
fucius himself, but to his descent from
one of the four chief disciples of the
great teacher.
There are, however, very numerous
living descendants of Confucius; and al
though he has been dead 1870 years,
superior rank is conceded to them in
China solely from their relationship to
him. Moreover, when Confucius was
born, $50 B. c., his family was already
among the most ancient of the empire,
and had recorded history of more than
three centuries Tradition goes still
further back, extending the probable
duration of the family to little less than
5000 years.-Chicago Times

An Abused Langnaee.

1t is curious to note what vulgarisms
creep into the American language, even
the language spoken by well educated
not to say cultured. people. Just at pres
ent the ear is narrowed by phrase, OF
rather word, much used by our bellies
who assist afternoon hostesses at that
function called ''tea." MY dear, >
says one girl to another, I'm invited to
pour for Mrs. Commonwealth next
Wednesday," ''Oh, are you? Well,
she asked me to turn, but | had another
engagement" Heavens and earth, |
thought, what is the meaning of pour
and turn 1t was some time before
the verbs and their implied noun made
connection in my brain, and then the
desire to stand these young women in a
corner was so intense retired TO avoid a
demonstration.
The century has indeed grown old and
lazy where the tongue finds so small a
word as ''tea" difficult of utterance. To
pour tea is about as simple a phrase as
can be spoken, and to drop the final
word tea is to render it intolerably vul-
gar. The custom at large afternoon re-
ceptions here of having two good look
ing girls perform this service, generally
imposed on servants in well appointed
houses in London, is thoroughly Amer
lean, and so, too, is the abominable fault
which has grown out of it.-Boston

THERE is no just reason why the man
of intellect and high requirements
should not surround himself with the
luxuries of life, if he has a taste for
them and can crafty it consistently with
his duty to others. But, if he worships
himself, makes his appetite his god, and
employs all the powers of his mind in
inventing ways and means for their
gratification-then he is simply brute
who has dishonored the divine image in
which was formed.

Cobbler sprague,s Frugal Wife.


Ten thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been found secreted in
an old table in the residence of John
Sprague, a shoemaker. of Wilmington.
Del. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. 81 Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, victim of heart
disease, in a drug store. The couple
came to Wilmington from England thir-
ty-one years ago. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly fifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
during their thirty-nine years of married
life the husband weekly gave the wife a
certain sum of money for her use He
never questioned what she did with the
surplus, but supposed it was regularly
put in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to
exist, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, but no money was found.
Finally Mrs. Mckinley, neighbor, sug-
gested, as she had had dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table, and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner of
the table were found bag of gold and
roll of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to $10,GOO.-Cor. Philadelphia
