Rev. William Wilkinson Offers
Some Advice on Reforma-
tory Management.
How Thirty-Two Men Stood
Their Loren Fletcher
Fix.

Men on Employment Of
COnvictS.

In his prelude last evening Rev. D. ].
Burrell diSc0ursed on ga Night in the
Chinese Quarter, San Francisco" He
went through Chinatown and gaZed
upon its most revolving features. What
he saw he described in his best style,
and drew therefrOm the only possible
moral-the need of more religion for
Christianity. His reflections on the
people of San Francisco who allow such
Il canker sore to exist in their midst
were not especially complimentary.
The regular evening sermon was on "a
Good Soldier" with special reference to
Gen. Sherman, the text being, Thou,
therefore, endure hardness as a good
soldier Of Jesus Christi Second Tim
OthY, /, 3.
The speaker began with a biograph-
ical sketch and brief eulogy OF Gen.
Sherman, after which. without passing
judgment on him as "A Christian he used
his soldierly qualities as illustrative of
those which enter into the character of
a good soldier of Jesus Christ. He coll
tinued:
First, Loyalty. Gen. Sherman was
familiar with the underlying principles
of our government and was in hearty
accord with them. \ mar cannot be a
Christian who does not start with a
Christian creed. He must know what
he believes and be ready to stand to 1t.
"Second, Enlistment. There were
multitudeS of loyal people in America
during our civil war who believed in
our political principles but were not ell
listed to defend them. A mar 10 be a
soldier must take the oath and be mus
tered in. so must the mar who would
be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Third, Honor. 1t has been said that
Gen. Sherman'S life was the very soul
of honor. He was neither envious of
his superiorS, o o~verbearlng towards
the rank and file. His men called him
Old Billy because they loved him, and
they could not have loved him had they
not respected him. The Christian SOL
der must cultivate the graceS Of a gen
tleman. A true Christian has been de-
fined to be the highest type of man. !"
Fourth, Courage. 1t is said OF Sher-
man that in an engagement he never
sought the shelter of a tree. We have
hard fighting to do. as followers Of
Christ, against foes without and fears
within, lust of the flesh, lust Of the eye
and pride Of life. The Lord gives as
our Watchword, Fear not!
Fifth, Fortitude. This is something
more than courage; it is courage plus
patience. Gen. Sherman displayed it
i'll planning and executing his march to
the SEA. The telegram permitting that
great movement was sent to Col. Nc
Crory and it read, Gen. Sherman
wishes permission to go to the devil;
permission is given him." Then thirty
days of marching ana conflict. and Sa-
vannah was presented to President
Lincoln as a Christmas gift. In higher
provinces of service God honors the
man who undertakes great things for
Him.
Sixth, Faith. Sherman never ques-
toned the result. Neither must we.

Doth his successive journeys run,
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more"

The hearse backed up in front of the

The effect of the story upon Miss
Gales listeners was depressing, but
after a while one of them remarked
upon the saying that dreams go by
contraries," and the unpleasant thoughts
were laughed away. The dream was
not repeated again. The vacation
passed pleasantly, and the remem-
brance OF the dream grew indiStinct.

home and the cortege of her vision did

eral months later she had occasion to
visit Chicago, and while there took adj
vantage of an opportunity for inspect
ing some of the public buildings. One
days she left her friends on the first
floor OF n of these buildings and went
up to the fifth story to see some partic-
ular object of interest. Having fin
isfed her inspection she waited with
several other people for the elevator to
take her down again. When it came
the other people got in quickly enough,
but the man who had charge of the
elevator thought that Miss Gale was too
slow.

Like a flash the memory Of her dream
came back. and she looked at the man
astonished. Then she saw the scar upon
his face and the number 9 in his Cap.

The man slammed the door impa-
tiently. and the heavily laden elevator
started downward. 1t had not reached
tho next floor before the cables parted
and the whole machine crashed to the
basement. Four persons were taken
out OF the wreck dead.

Good glass eyes come high," said an
oculiSt recently.
"Cost a big price, do they?"
Eyes, the good mes do"
"Then there is a good deal of differ
ence%
'.Oh, yes. They range all the way
from 50centS to $50.
rs there such a big demand for
them?"
Larger than most people suppose.
The fact is THAT many people get along
so we'll with a glass eye that not one
person in ten suspects the fact"
"Some of our friends may be wearing
one of those solid visual organs and we
do not know tips
"PrecISely. Ill bet that several peo-
pie in this city with whom you are ac-
quainted are wearing glass eyes and
the fact has always escaped your atten-
tion."
Tell me something about the bust
ness, doctor.'
"In the first place, the greater share
of glass eyes, so called, are not glass.
The best quality of artificial eyes is
manufactured in America by a process
that is kept absolutely secret. These
are the lightest and best and will last
longer. The Germans also make a fine
artificial eye. The best eyes are made
of stone. The German article is cheaper
than the American. The veining in the
foreign eye is not S well marked"
"What makes the trade p~rofitable?"
"Ill tell you. One-eyed men are
likely to be rather scarce, and one
would think that once stocked up they
would buy no more. But this is not the
case. An artificial eye gets to be a
nuisance after it has been on duty two
or three months. Another one has to
be purchased. This explains the reason
for the lively trade in these articles.
There'll always be a trade in them, and
a good one. too"
"How is it we don't notice a glass eye
in some men?"
because they know enough to keep
still about the matter and wear the best
eyes obtainable. In this way if O
notice anything at all peculiar about
their optics you imagine they have a
SQuint or are c~rOSS-eyed."

SUNDAY LAWS.
A Globe Correspondent Writes of
the Movement Elsewhere.

To the Editor of the Globe.
California is one of the few states
which have no Sunday laws. Previous
to 1888 it had such a law; but in 1882, as
the result of an attempt to enforce it to
the letter, the courts were fairly flooded
with cases of prosecution for its viola
ton. This brought the matter forcibly
to the attention Of the people, and in
the fall of that year it was made the
| issue of the state campaign, the Repub-
licanS eSpouSing the law and the Demo-
! Gratis repudiating it. AS a result, the
hitherto Republican state went over
IT, 800 Democratic, and the religiO-med-
dlesome law was repealed by the legiS-
lature of 1888, since which time CalifOr-
mia has been without a Sunday law.
The friends of such laws, however, are
not content to let it remain SO, but are
endeavoring to have the law ~re-enacted.
The Chicago Weekly Chronicle-Record
of Dec. 13, 1890, prints the following
comments upon the matter:
An. effort will be made to have the
next California legislature pass a Sun
day law. Strange to say, this move
ment mas its headquarters in New York,
| and is fathered by the American Sab
DdUu ulllOD,Qll ~ VI viz ItN1Oi iOt
| Presbyterian church. This church
does not permit any of it's numbers to
hold office in this country because the
| national constitution does not mention
the name of their Deity. This is, no
doubt, to the advantage of the country.
That part of religious history written
with the blood of martyrs shows that
from time immemorial legislation for
ChriSt'S sake has been the work OF the
DEVILS ambassadors. Christ himself did
not escape. A religion that needs the
strong arm of the state to support 1t
should be abandoned in the interest of
good government. Morality cannot be
legislated into any man or com
munity. When the Reformed Presby-
terrain OF any other church seeks
the aid Of the state to sustain and pro-
mitigate its tenets, it cOnfesseS its own
weakness and u~nworthiness, while it
| merits and secures the contempt of all
thinking people. We believe in observ-
ing the Sabbath in our own way. and
logically must concede the same privi-
lege to our n~eighbor. This is the sub
stance of the entire question. +
| If this Is a free religious country. why
should we not have it so? Are not the
other religious SectS of as much I'm
| portance as-the one namedi There are
Some who believe in keeping Saturday
instead of Sunday, which they have a
perfect right to do, and we respect them
as much as any other organization, if
they are sincere.
Stop for a moment and look at the
nations that have made religion COM
pulsory. Where are they? Did they
succeed? You cannot shove people into
the kingdom of God. They must go there
voluntarily.

THE DIET.
What You Eat Matters Little if
You Attain Certain Results.

"Ihe human system requires a GER
tain quantity of carbon and nitrogen to
keep up the equilibrium of health" re-
marked a physician to a New York
Telegram reporter. 1.-THE healthy man
needs 800 grains of nitrogen, and 1900
grains of carbon, daily, to supply the
waste that takes place during the TWEEN
ty-four hours. He should select a diet
which can supply as nearly as possible
the proper amount of each of these sub
stances. 1t matters little whether he
eats vegetables or meat, so long as he
achieves the result. 1t is very possible,
as ycgetarians contend, that a we'll
selected vegetable diet is capable Of
bringing the greater number OF indivi-
duals to the highest physical develop
ment of which they are capable, but it
would he difficult for the majority Of
workingmen to get the proper diet of
vegetables all the year round, and a
mixed diet, partly vegetable and partly
animal, is most sensible.
Most men eat too much meat. l
know some people who live almost en-
tirely upon it. The proper proportion is
about one part of meat to three of yege-
tables.
Zone thousand grams of meat contain
about 100 grains OF carbon and 300 OF nj
trOgen. Therefore to obtain the 1900
grains OF carbon which a mans system
requires no less than six and a half
pounds of meat must be consumed daily,
while the requisite 800 grains of nitro
gen are contained in one and a half
pounds OF meat, consequently three or
four times more meat must be. consumed
to supply the carbon than is necessary
to furnish the nitrogen.
Zone thousand grains of bread con-
tain 300 grains of carbon and 10 Of
nitrogen. In other words, to obtain he
requisite amount OF nitrogen for the
system on a diet of bread alone one
would have to consume exactly double
the quantity of carbon required, A
short calculation shows that two pounds
of bread and three-quarters of a pound
of meat just about compensate for the
daily drain OIL the system OF a healthy
man.
Beef and mutton usually contain Is
per cent of carbOnaceouS and 20 per cent
of heterogeneous material. Potatoes have
"a per cen cal %bonaceous and 2 of nitro
genous material, very nearly the pro-
portion the system requires. Oatmeal
has &c ca%rbOnaceous and IL heterogeneous
parts, and. taken alone, is a better
article of food than beef as regards the
requirements of the system. SKINNED
milk contains carbon II nitrogen in
about equal quantities.
Oatmeal and good milk and bread
for breakfast, with beef and potatoes
for dinner, form about the best diet that
that can be devised"

Scar Seen While Asleep Saved
Her Life.
Utica Herald.
A certain lady OF letters. we'll known
to some in Utica, in company with a
number of congenial companions, was
passing the summer at a mountain re-
sort in this state. She and her COM
in literary pursuits, agreed that each
morning they would meet and relate
their dreams of the night before, both
servations, and for the interest of the
thing itself. Doubtless if the ladies had
pondered the maXimS laid down by the
father of his country, and had under
stood that n in which he forbade the
revealing of dreams, they would have
followed his illustrious example. But
if they had this anecdote would have
never been told.
The symposium was held regularly
every morning, and was the source OF
considerable amusement. One day,
dowever, the lady first referred to, who
may be called Miss Gale, came down
with a troubled countenance, and when
her friends demanded the records of
her sleeping hours h refused to tell
them. She had a dream of a very bad
woman, and did not wish to depress
them as she had been depressed by its
recital. There was a'flutter of excite
ment, of course, but the refusal was
final.
On the morning after Miss Gale ap-
peared still more disturbed, and in an
swer to the questions of her friends she
said that the dream had been repeated.
She still refused to reveal it, but when
the vision appeared on the third sue
cessive night she became quite nervous
about it and was persuaded to make it
known.
1.-The dream that ! have had three
times now," said Miss Gale, ''is this: l
seemed to be sitting at my window in
upper story of the house where my
home is, watching the passers in the
street. Soon a line of carriages aD-

There was a little young thing, with
child-like eyes and a positively i~nfantile
smile, buying a baby carriage, says the
New York Sun. She might have been
sixteen, but the smart and painfully
blonde clerk who was exhibiting the
vehicles for her was sure she was not
yet out of her boarding school. She
was in search of a very particular sort
of carriage-One that had a large can
Opy that worked up and down like tie

that such baby carriages were not

be undesirable. The young thing

He would please. she hoped, permit her

The dreadfully blonde clerk. somewhat
nettled that Il so young should pre-
sumo to oppose his experienced taste in
baby carriages, carried the argument
still further. and, after ~inSinuatlng that
he had been in the business long enough
to know what was appropriate and styl-

mother should come and select her own
baby carriage.

mother got to do with it?"
Why" said the clerk, ''the carriage
is for your mothers baby, isn't it?"
NO" responded the girl-wife, CURLY,
tossing her head as she spoke, tits for

The blonde clerk blushed violently
for several seconds, and then said in a
mild voice that he could have such a

ALICE IS
From Her Mother to the Children's

Alice has been stopping at the Chill

Several weeks ago a little girl with
some school books under her arm.
walked into the central station, and told
Capt. Dan Day a pitiful tale of being
driven from home. because of her
mothers evil ways. She said her
mother would gaze upon the dark, sin
i~Ster-looking bottle when it was not
empty. The result OF it all was that
home had become unbearable for the
little girl. That was Alice Gill. Her
tale touched that part of Capt. Days
anatomy which does service as a heart,
and Alice was cared for for a couple of
days. Then Agent Tatro, of the S. p.
