From the Chicago Tribune.
A lot Of young travelling men temporarily
located at coy Wisconsin hotel last Sunday
got up q conspiracy against the landlord.
Everything about the hotel was perfection
itself. The cookery was superb, the service
nrst-class, the appointments Of the hostelry all
that could be desired and the charges reason
able, but these wild young men in secret con-
clave assembled resolved to make the pro-
prietor's life miserable for one day by kicking
individually and collectively against everything
Before they proceeded to carry the plot into
execution the ringleader OF the conspiracy de-
cided to take into their confidence young man

Spiritual Nervous Prostration.


From the New York Independent
An eminent physician, famous FOR his sue
cessful practice Of the "rest cure" when asked
to define nervous prostration, said:
ave do not know what it is. We recognize
certain conditions aud find that certain treat
ment relieves those conditions. OF course. We
have our theory, which is that from over-exer-
ton or some such cause the nerves of some or
gan OF the body refuse to act and the result is
disease Of that organ. Our treatment Is adapted
to secure the action Of those nerves and the re-
lief OF the condition. Thus We first keep the
nerves perfectly quiet, then exercise them lit
tie by little until they resume their normal
functions
1t has often seemed a. though there were
genuine spiritual nervous prostrution, in
which the nerves that supply the organs Of
prayer, faith and patience, worship, &C., were
worn out and refused to DO their part. How
else can II be explained that 50 many good peo-
pie, people about whose genuine Christian
character We have no question, become at
times so utterly regardless of certain Christian
duties? Whereas they are usually very reg
uiar at prayer meeting and ready to take part,
they suddenly or gradually absent themselves,
or II present sit In silence. as II the power Of
speech had failed! Even family prayers occa-
sionally are forgotten, aud for private devotion
they fall back upon the assertion that if ono is
only in the spirit Of prayer the act Of express
sion Is less needful. In many Of the relations
OF life the spiritual nerves that supply SELF
restraint give way and words and acts Of inn
patience Seem to rule. Faith in God and con-
fdence in His word give place to q scarcely
concealed doubt rs to whether God really
thinks 1t worth while to interfere in the man
agement OF this world, and whether the Bible,
after all, Is what IL has been supposed to be.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
remarkable story comes from the census
Office. 1t is said that there is white family
in Montgomery county, Ky, named Will
loughby. The age of the father of the family,
Henry, is thirty-fve, and that Of the wife
thirsy-two. They have had thirteen children;
the eldest. boy, is twenty-onc, and the next
child a girl of seventeen. This would make
the father but fourteen and the mother but
eleven when the first child was born. and me-
cessitate the birth of child every eighteen
months subsequently. The census reports
show many colored parents of ages ranging
from twelve to fourteen years. but there are
few white mothers recorded less than fifteen
years Of age.

probably circulated by Arab spice producers

INCENSE TREES
Fifteen centuries before Christ an Egyptian
queen named Hatasu made an expedition to
the Arabian coast OF the Rod sea and brought
back with her thirty-one incense trees. The
