Two Marvellous Stories.

"Your average Californian possesses a most
fertile imagination; that is, he is the most in
genious liar in the world" remarked II. E.
Barnes, Jr. to the Minneapolis Journal. do
you know Jack Harding? No? Old classmate
was the model of "a. Well, | met Jack at the
West vest srday. He had sought his fortune in
California and failed to find it. Quite acct
dentally spoke of an emo -mous cactus plant
which had seen while in California and gave
it as my opinion that it was about four feet in
circumference. That's nothing, replied my
old chum. I recollect riding through the
woods in California one day last spring, when

curious to learn whether or not this was human

took me through the house. There were ten
rooms and an artesan well? Would you believe
itS That family were living in the interior of
branches OF the plant. There was only one
trouble, though. You see the plant was young
and thriving, and consequently the house and
rooms kept getting larger. The lady of the
house told me they were going to move as soou
as they could find plant small enough to suit
them, and that her husband had just gone out
house or cactus hunting
And the artesian well?n queried the Journal
man, with GREATNESS interest.

Church people of all denominations will
doubtless be no little shocked by the recent
statement of the editor of the Baptist
Examiner to the effect that the "No-Bap-
fist is called upon to believe in the absolute
accuracy of the Bible as to matters of
history and science" If it cannot be relied
upon for the absolute accuracy of m IRE
matters of chronology and mathematical
reckoning how is it to be relied upon for the
absolute accuracy of its prophecies and
traditions which merely rest upon correct
quotation for their authenticity Such a
basis for incredulity once set afoot will,
within short time, shake all belief in the
divine origin of the book that has for cen
turtles been reverently regarded as Holy
Writ

Medicinal Fropert es of Music.

For uncounted generations we have been
told Emusic hath charms to sooth the saw
age" to which the immortal Joe Miller had
the hardihood to add that it will also ''split
a rock and bust cabbage" which clearly
demonstrates the irresistible force of its
power when it once gets going" After
centuries spent in regarding harmonious
sounds as merely the carbonated beverage
of life, useful only for soothing purposes, 1t
is quite agreeable to have so eminent a
medical authority as the London Lancet
seriously advance the theory that music
may be utilized as mental and physical
tonic with the most satisfactory results.
With the true principle of orthodox
medical ethics the Lancet distinctly an
nounces that this new symphony specific is
not a general panacea for oil human ILL.
1t is merely commended as a desirable
treatment for nervous disorders of GER
tain sort which may be readily affected by
the vibrations of ''sweet sounds" Its adj
vocates regard 1t only as lone of those in
tangible but effective aids of medicine
which exert their healtaful properties
through the nervous system" Harmony is
OOsISheu W 10 uoeu III SdCu cases Simply as
a tonic to strengthen the nerves and in
vigoraLe the overworked brain by ire
freshing the vasculsrity Of every organ"
By judicious application it might really
prove beneficial in that way, as any reason
ing person wholly devoid of medical learn
ing can readily see. Such q suggestion
sounds easily probable
But the strangest application Of the new
mental tonic is its supposed effectiveness in
the treatment Of insanity. Unless we place
the hypothesis upon the homeopathic theory
that like cures like the proposition sounds
rather incredible at first thought. Consid-
cred from that standpoint, however, it may
not seem altogether unreasonable Many
man Is supposed to have been driven in-
sane by discordant sounds alleged to be
music. But in that view of the case we
cannot expect to heal his disorder by the ap-
plication Of the exact like. Else the very bad
quality of discord with which we should be
forced to prosecute the afflicted would be
| ton of the humane the world over
Good music would doubtless have a very
salutary general effect as a preventive
agent. 1t should be judiciously admins
tered to the public as one of the sanitary
precautions of every city. It would tend
to smooth out the rough places in the mind
and produce contentment and probably
divert the thoughts Of many unfortunates
| from despair and suicide.

Insurance Methods.

The defalcation of one Of the principal
agents of the New York Life Insurance
Company has started a good deal of talk in
New York about the lobbying which. it is
alleged, the life insurance companies Of that
state do at Albany when the legislature is in
session. According to this gossip the life
companies spend vast sums OF money TO get
the kind of legislation they want or to pre-
vent legislation which they regard as in
imical to their interests.
There may or may not be foundation for
this gossip. IL there ID none the companies
should take steps at once to stop it, because
it is exceedingly injurious to them. 1t is
calculated to create the impression that
they are not doing a strictly honest business,
and. therefore, are in position to be black
mailed by INSCRIPTIONS lobbyists and legis-
lators who know their secrets
If the life insurance companies are honestly
managed and the statements they make to
the public are true, they have nothing to
fear from the lobby or the legislature. The
legislature would not dare to enact legisla>
tion that would injure them, because they
are trust institutions in which vast num-
Der of people have an interest.
But if there is anything crooked In the
way they are conducted they are certain to
be the prey of all the dishonest men who
make a living by hanging around the
legislature. or who succeed in
getting themselves elected members of
that body. While there seems to
be no doubt that the New York Life Insur-
ance Company is very sound and solid
institution it would perhaps be wise for the
insurance commissioner to investigate it
thoroughly. People in all parts of this
country and of other countries hold its
policies. and they would feel better salts
fed if there should be thorough investi-
CATION of its affairs. A well-known New
YORK insurance man said recently that
a revolution in life insurance business was
bound to come at nd very distant day.
According to his view the management of
some Of them was not in accordance with
safe business methods.

A Chivalrous Shinar.

of the city the other morning, says the Detroi
Free Press. shoeblack had just finished polish
ing the shoes of a well dressed and gentle APP

having q deformity which compelled him to

ingly thick SOLE thus endeavoring to make up
mechanically for what nature had denied him.
How much shall pay your" he asked of the
boy.
Five cents, SIR

for polishing my shoes, said the gentleman,

NO. sir, said the boy; 80 cents is enough.

on the youngsters head for a moment and
passed on.

A Poem Cor ansed

Newspaper traditions in New York contain
many quaint instances Of the art of boiling
down copy says the New York Times. 1t is a
common saying that a newspaper receives twice
as much matter as it prints. A large sacrifice
to the blue pencil or rejected copy spindle is in
evita6le. The champion boiler Of news in the
New York offices in the days that veterans in
the business still remember was DIR. Wood. who
exercised his art in the Sun office for many
years, and the most artistic feat of condensation
remembered Of him is worth recording. One
night half-column poem was turned over to
him to edit. Copy was copy to his practical eve
and be set out TO get at the meat Of the verses
and state 1t in the fewest possible words, this
was the result:

eeorgia's educational interests.

i
The people of Geosgia are taking more
interest IN educational matters than ever
before. That they are doing SO is a sure
sign that they are advancing in everything
| that makes state great and prosperous.
The commencement season is about over,
and the press of the state has noticed very
fully the exercises at the different colleges
and seminaries. And Georgia has reason to
be proud Of her higher educational ipstitu-
lions. They compare favorably with those
of any other state, both in number and edu-
cational advantages. Their graduates are
as well equipped for studying any one of the
learned professions or for entering upon the
duties Of life as those OF more pretentious
institutions of some of the other states.
There is no reason why the girls and boys
of Georgia should be sent to northern edu
cational institutions. They can find in their
own state schools that offer them all the
advantages that can be obtained else where.
And the increased interest that is being
taken in the common schools is very graft
tying. At Triton, Berrien county, Thurs
day, 5000 people who were assembled to
witness the laying Of the corner stone OF the
terest to Gov. Northen and Superintendent
of Education Bradwell point out the needs
Of the common school system and the bene-
fits which flow from education.
The people cannot hear too much about
the Importance Of education, and they are
willing to listen. The governor and school
commissioner can render them no better
service than to strengthen the growing de-
sire for better system of common schools.
This awakening interest in common
schools is shown in the gradually increasing
appropriations for common school purposes.
But the appropriations are not yet any
where near as large as they should be. Bet
ter schoolhouses and a higher grade of
teachers are greatly needed. And it is inn
portant that the schools should be kept open
nine months Of the year. To accomplish
these reforms money is required. and
great deal of it.
The people must be taught that they
cannot put their money to a better use than
that of building up the common school sys-
tenn. They must invite taxation for that
purpose. If they give their children
good common school education they will
give them something that will be of more
benefit to them than the money they may
leave them, because a good education is
something that cannot be lost and is always
available in earning living.
And just in proportion as the common
schools are improved will the state prosper.
good class of immigrants will seek homes
where there are churches and first-class
schools, which are the signs of an advanced
civilization, and which are recoznized to be
such by all. Where they are comfortable
homes and a thrifty and prosperous people
are sure TO be found.
1t is certain that the 3 900 people who as
sembled at Triton are more deeply i'm
pressed with the necessity for better common
schools than they ever were before. and
that in future their influence will be in
favor of larger common school appropria-
tiOns

The MORNING NEWS is forced to discon.

The MORNING NEWS is forced to discon-
tinue, tor the present, the publication of
the story entitled "a False Position" begun
last Sunday. The manuscript of the story,
mailed in England, has failed to reach the
agents in New York who have the handling
Of 1t.
The MORNING NEWS, therefore, has sub
stituted brilliant story of love and war
by Capt Hawley Smart, soldier novelist,
entitled Beatrice and Benedick "A Romance
Of the Crimea." 1t is in the authors happi
est vein. It is full of movement and there
are numerous scenes Of highly-wrought
sensation. The action takes place in Eng
land and the Crimea, the story opening just
prior to the outbreak of the war with Rus
sia. From start to finish this new novel of
Capt. Smart's will be found brimful of in-
terest, exciting without being unduly sensa-
tional, full of variety and with romantic
termination. Capt. Smart is one of the best
and most widely known writers in England.

The Apgel-Post.

The following graceful poem by Mary H. @.
Booth, published in 1864. anticipated the con-
ceptions of telepathy and telephony which have
been realized since:
'Ihave nothing to say to you, dearest
Nothing that can write,
For all the word that had to send
sent by the post tonight.
mot in the form of letter,
With mark, and stamp, and seal.
Did trust the to lder message
That my soul had to reveal.
Not in bunch of blossoms,
Not in a sweet bouquet,
Did hide the beautiful meaning
OF the words dared not say.
But sent the sweet heart-music
No mortal on earth e'er wrote
What need that the souls soft melodies
Be written down by note?
$50 I've nothing to say to you. dearest,
But to send you my love at most.
And the news of my heart that cannot write,
send by the Angel-Post."

good to slumber, and which Mrs Wilcox tells
herself, says the New York Times, is of her call
not long ago upon an uptown rector in whose
parish book she desired to enroll the name of a
needy woman, a protege of hers. The reverend
gentleman received her request favorably and,
opening the register, asked. as he began to write
who it was that recommended the sempstress
MY name is Wilcox" replied his visitor,
Ella Wheeler Wilcox"
"Ah," commented the clergyman, 81 do not
remember to have heard of you"
Mrs. Wilcox laughed. Really" she said, II
think you are the only man in New York who
has not"
The rector smiled in his turn, and, coming to
the next question. continued: "And to whom do
you refer, Mrs. Wilcoxs"
Sir" replied the lady, with impressive dig
nifty, Il refer to the whole world"

Such industry as these "fakirs" of tin

the country if directed toward some legiti-

existence. But they seem to prefer going

materialize. This time the inventor has
located his fictitious enterprise in Dakota.
