In Spain you will hear little Jose or lisa
bellita rocked to the somewhat doubtful
sedative beginning;
The moon shines bright,
And the snake darts swift and light;
see five baby bullocks
And a calf young and white.
Then from Spain you may find yourself
in Arabia, where bucolic tone pervades
the cradle song mostly used;
Sleep, my baby. sleep,
Sleep a slumber hale,
Sweetly rest till morning light,
My little farmer boy, so bright.
And from Arabia you might pass to far
of Zululand, and hear;
Hush thee, my baby,
Thy mothers DER the mountains gone;
There she will dig the little garden patch,
And water she'll fetch from the river.

MEMORIAL DAY

To be little plain about it, there
are some people in this country who
think Memorial Day is sort Of hur-
rah, song and dance affair. Well, it
isn't anything of the sort. 1t is the
funeral of the men who died that the
country might live. 1t is the day that
the spirit of the Republic walks
among the graves and weeps over
them. II you haven't got sense
enough TO know that, read this and
learn it. If this doesn't teach it TO
you, you are fool, and fools can't
learn anything. That ends the dis
cussion. Indeed, we dislike to dignity
the matter with the word discussion.
Memorial Day is a day Of sad memo
ries: In this connection day of signs
and sorrows, and the best flowers we
can get.

Ticentu Years Ago.
wondrous are the changes

How wondrous are the changes
Since twenty years ago,
When the girls wore wooden dresses
And the boys wore pants of tow,
And the shoes were made of cowhide
And the socks of homespun wool,
And the children did a half-day's work
Before they went to school.
The people rode to meeting
In sIeds instead of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy
As buggies nowadays.
And oxen answered well for teams,
Tho now they'd be too slow,
And people lived not half so fast
Some twenty years ago
Oh, well do 1 remember
The Wilson patent stove,
That father bought and paid for
In cloth we girls had wove;
And all the neighbors wondered
How we got the thing to go,
They said 'twouId burst and kill US
Some twenty years ago.
The girls took music lessons
Upon the spinning wheel,
And practiced late and early
At spindle, swifts and reel
The boys would ride the horse to mill
dozen miles or so,
And hurry off before twas day,
Some twenty years ago.
Yes, everything has changed SO,
cannot tell the cause,
For men are always tampering
With natures wondrous laws
And what on earth we're coming to
Does any body know?
For everything has changed so much
Since twenty years ago

An article which we would fam COW
er with sorrowful silence, was publish
ed in the Christian Union, recently,
under the title of "Christ and the
Temperance Question:" and over DIR.
Lyman Abbott's name. If the liquor
dealers press would pass it by, we
would most gladly do the same;
but we apprehend for portion
of it such a saloon circulation as has
not been conceded to anything since
the famous defense of Moderation,
prepared by DIR. Howard Crosby. The
mantle OF the late Chancellor seems
to have ahghted upon DR.. Abbott, as
he has called up the sheeted ghost of
GA Calm VieW'' It is not necessary
for us to contradict tit does that for
itself. The argument hinges upon the
assumption that all the wine referred
to in the Bible was fermented wine,
and that "there is absolutely no au-
thority" for supposing that any other
kind was meant. With it is coupled
the assertion that ''the notion of two
wines must be dismissed" We are
unable to deal with this problem in
Greek, but in plain English, unless
two kinds of wine are mentioned in
the Scriptures, Holy Writ is more self
contradictory than DR.. Abbott. ''Look
not upon the wine," and "take little
wine," are irreconcilable by any other
exegesis. Neither does the moderate
use of a substance, liable to become SO
immoderately evil, seem consistent
with the character of Jesus. While
the question is in discussion by able
scholars, we are willing to give the
Perfect Man of Galilee the benefit of
the doubt.

The following extract from letter written
written by J. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown, Iowa,
speaks for itself: "Two years ago, in harvest
time, young man came in my store and said
he had been binding wheat during the fore
noon, and so bad with diarrhCea and collie
pains, that he would have to lay off unless he
could get relief. 1 took bottle of your diaa-
rhCea remedy from the shelf; gave him dose;
sold him the bottle, and told him would give
the money back if it did no good. He came in
next morning and said the single dose did its
work well that he not only kept up his
place binding during the afternoon but had
worked all night; and had the price of the
dose gave him been three dollars, it would
have been cheap. I Will further say, keep on
with your good work. You cannot recon-
mend your medicine to highly. Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoa Remedy is one of
the greatest medicines of the age; it cannot
be beat Washing you much success and
prosperity which you richly deserve. remain,
truly your friend.'' For sale by H. G. Pierce,

BALANCED Rocks. - The SO-called
ssbalanced rocks'' are nOtvery uncom-
mon, and are found in nearly all coun-
tries. Some of these are of glacial Or
igin, having been left in their peculiar
position by the melting of the glacier
which brought them from some dis
tant locality, while others have been
carved out on the spot by the destruc-
tive action of the elements, especially
by the erosive effect of sand blown by
the wind, this natural sandblast hav-
ing an almost irresistible power. The
strangely-carved rock informations OF
Colorado and the Rocky mountains
are due to this cause, while the gla-
cier-borne powders are more COM
mon in New England and sections of
the country lying north of the Ohio
river. Popular Science News says that
the most striking popularity of bal
anced stones is the fact that they can
readily be made to move or Oscillate
by the application of a comparatively
weak force. The stone of Tandi, for
instance, can be moved by pushing it
with a single finger; but the center of
gravity is so slow that only small
amount or vibration can be produced,
and it would not be possible to over
turn it by any ordinary means. The
cause of the balancing of these rocks
is not very mysterious. 1t is simply a
case of natural balancing, due to the
shape of the rock and the force Of
gravitation.

Taken entire, DR.. Abbott's "Christ
and the Temperance Question: offers
little comfort to the ''organized liquor
trade of to-day, with its myriad sa-
looms, each one the source Of unnum-
bered and dreadful dramas Of intel
lectual and moral wreck and ruin"
This excerpt, however, might serve as
a motto on a saloon card, EWhether
drinking is a sin depends upon circum-
stances, and whether the circumstance
es are such as to make drinking sim
full. each man must decide for himself"
1t is fine cruelty to cast the burden of
this decision upon young men, accom-
panying it with the concession that
there are cases in which wine drink
ing offers "decided advantage to
health in inauguration of vital powers
for the better doing of Gods work in
the world,'' and the assurance that
Jesus left Gas legacy and example
for his followers a sacred use of wine
in the most solemn service of his
church." With the temptation of ''my-
the spur of ambition pricking him on
toward the highest possible vantage
ground of health and vigor, the young
man needs all the stays on the side of
temperance that religion and science
can offer; fortunately they are many
and strong. We are sorry that re-
| 1igiOus teacher, a man so kindly ma
tured as Dr. Abbott, should seem to
be an apOlogist for the other side. He
rates himself among abstainers, be
lieving that the law of Christian love
requires it of this generation, but in
closing expresses what seems to US an
utterly foundationless "hope that we
| shall yet come to a time when pure
wine can be used by society with no
more seriously evil results than now
are produced by the use of tea and
coffee" Can the doctor point to any
evidence that we are in the line of
progress toward such a time? Has
any custom ever attained to a growth
which attracted general attention and
general condemnation, and then ebb-
ed back to the line of liberation? The
world never cOndones what it has
once passed sentence upon. Whoever
makes observations at tables frequent
ed by men will see that the keen eyed
sinewy young men, who represent
the highest mental and physical vigor,
take milk and cream, not tea and
coffee. This points rather to a com
ing time, when non stimulation will be
the recognized law of the highest con-
ditions. DIR. Abbott's article has the
appearance of being written by one
who goes farther than he means to.
in order to get at distance from the
ground taken by so called "over-zeal-
Gus reformers. 1t is weak and self
contradictory, but dangerous only IL

TO PRESERVE HUSBANDS.

A large congregation was present at
the Jefferson Avenue church of Sag
inaw Mich, on a recent Sunday even
ing, TO hear Rev. 9. Nj. Coburn an
swer a number of questions asked by
members of the congregation. One
of these was: Chow can a young wo-
man best preserve the love ofher hus-
band?'' DR.. Coburn said: 81 gave this
question to my wife to answer, as she
knows all about the subject. She re-
piled as follows"
Husbands, like peaches, do not keep
the year round unless they are well
preserved. First select him carefully.
Be sure he is not too green; neither
should he be overripe. He might look
very tempting and mellow in the mar
ket. but if ne is too old he will not
stand the test of the preserving pro-
cess, but will expose his hard, stony
heart. Husbands grown in the tropics
of pleasure lookv very fine, butare usu-
ally insipid. The homegrown are best.
Select your husband, if possible, from
a family tree growing on the sunny
side of a church. You will be sure then
that he is sound at heart. Unsound
husbands, like unsound peaches, often
have to be sorrowfully cast away.
Having selected your husband, you
should have a clear, steady, CHEEKY fire
of love. Your preserving kettle must
be neat and clean. Husbands, like
peaches look very black if this is I'M
tidy Much sugar is needed. Give him
plenty of sweetness. Vinegaris never
used in sweet preserves. If you think
he demands lite spice, use it with
caution. Do not keep stirring him up,
neither should you keep poking him
with sharp points to see if he is done;
it will spoil his looks, If the above re-
ceipt is followed, and you have select
ed the right sort of husband, you
will find his love well preserved.

Then what will you do? VIII you say,

In railroad circles there is consider
able interest manifested in the report
ed sale of the famous "RainboW"
route of Otto Mears. The report serves
to draw attention to what is undOubt-
edly one of the most unique lines of
railroad in the world. The road is not
more than twelve miles in length, eX-
tending from Silverton to Ironton, but
as a marvellous result of engineering
skill deserves to rank as one of the
wonders of the world. No one was
quite so near heaven on a railroad as
when travelling in one of Mear's
''baby" passenger cars. The trip from
Silverton to Ironton leaves vivid i'm
preston on the mind of the tourist.
1t skirts the edge of unfathOmable
abysses, winds over mountain peaks,
through regions of eternal snow, leaps
cataracts, spans gorges and finally
bumps right into the solid wall of the
granite mountain. How this Obstruc-
ton is overcome is not at first appar-
ent, but by the aid of a complicated
set of turn table engines and cars are
turned around and sail merrily down
hill to their destination. = Lead0ilIe
