She WIN Retain Her Nerve.

A Philadelphia woman, having suffered
the surgical removal, because of tumor, OF
three inches Of the nerve Of the right arm,
has had paralysis in that arm for two years.
Not long since, under the skillful hand of
the famous DR.. d. Hayes Agnew and others,
there was transplanted to the gap in the
wOman's arm three inches of the sciatc
nerve of healthy dog. At latest accounts
the woman was getting along well. By the
nerve would transmit sensations, but that it
would serve as bridge to unite the extend
ing flamentS of her own severed nerve. 1t
had been proposed to use a human nerve,
but no amputation happened to occur in the
University OF Pennsylvania hospital at the
time when such was needed.-Chicag0 Inter

LOVELY BUT FRAGILE.
Why the Bridegroom Goes Shopping 4
Honeymoon Days.

Why the Bridegroom Goes Shopping in
Honeymoon Days.
If the average man has any capacity for
wonderment in him during the honeymoon,
must he not spend an occasional minute in
querying with himself how it comes about
that, with all his brides beautiful trous-
seau, on which so many exclamation points
were lavished 10y the wedding guests and
10y the newspapers, he finds himself after
three weeks marriage looking for place
where he can buy pair of stockings while
she curs up Ia bare feet and slippers in a
hotel chamber? 1t does not, of course,
come into the head OF the young wife that,
if ever she marries a second time, she will
provide herself with moro substantial APP
parel, but, nevertheless, the cObweb batistes
and sheer linens covered with lace and em-
brOidery with which most brides set out on
their wedding journeys are apt to 90 to de-
struction very rapidly in the hands OF the
casual washer-wOman encountered in strange
cities. 1t doesn't conduce to sweetness of
temper or to the enjoyment Of travelling to
watch the rapid dsintegration of costly I'M
derclothing, and it might give ones husband
better idea OF ones neatness, il ones
things didn't show such an alarming tend
ency to drop in pieces; but there in no pres
ent indication Of any movement toward
simpler fashions in underwear.

THE RIO GRANDE.
A River That Both Takes and Gives on
the Journey to the Sea.

A River That Both Takes and Gives on
the Journey to the Sea.
The great river both takes and gives on its
journey to the sea. Smaller streams Join it
from point to point some leading to it
down canyon bottoms, others meandering
as riyulets IN the middle of wide channels
filled only at flood, and often the waters Of
the inlet, as in case of the Rio de Sante Fe.
are hidden beneath the sands of dry bed,
and ooze under ground to join the subter-
ranean current of the greater stream. The
river gives of its abundance TO villages and
cultivated fields through acequias.or irTigating
bitches, that lead from it to the grounds of
the dWellerS upon It's banks. Far enough
up the channel to secure the necessary fall
to the lands to be irrigated little wing
dam of brush and stone serves to turn the
water from the stream into the bitches
which follow the bank at slight descent
as compared with the downward flow of the
swift current These canals, which at first
run nearly at level, parallel with the
course OF the stream, as the rivers surface
falls more and more below them, seem to
the unframed eye actually to climb the
bank, and the "tenderfoot," or uninitiated
stranger, is ready, almost, to assert that the
water in the ditch is running up HILL
The main canals that lead from the river,
which are known as acequias madres
QnOther ditcheS) distribute their waters
into smaller waterways leading into the
separate fields. and these bitches, in turn,
through burrows like ramifying arteries
diffuse the water evenly over the cultivated
ground. No manure is needed on lands
thus irrigated for they are abundantly
fortified by the fine, rich detritus in the
water. There are productive fields in the
Rio Grande Valley that have been under
continuous cultivation for over 200 years.

A TALE WITH A NOR AL.

The Maine Bible society has discover
ed over 10000 families in that state who
never go to church, and 1000 that do
not own Bibles. This seems incredible,
as it is next to unaccountable, in state
that is reliably Republican and that has
maintained prohibition for half Gen.
fury. 1t can only be explained upon the
same theory that is advanced to account
for the disappearance of temperance So
cieties and special efforts in behalf of
the, temperance cause in Kansas since
the adoption of the prohibitory amend
ment and the enactment Of laws to carry
that measure into effect, and that is. the
law is relied upon to do all, and more.
than moral suasion had accomplished in
holding in check, if not baniShing the
drinking habit. Law may serve to re-
press crime, but it is not its province to
covert the criminal; that is the mission
of the moral influences. And it may be
added that to the extent the latter is full
filled, just to that extent may the office
of the former be dispensed with. These
are not pleasant reflections. but they are
facts.

MISTAKEN ZEAL.

Jerry Simpson says that there is a re-
ligious feeling as well as political feel
ing in the Alliance people, and that they
are terribly in earnest. When the aver
age party leader is convinced that the
farmers are intensely in earnest then
goes he straightway and prepares himself
for grand flop. Simpson says:
"Well, they are terribly in earnest.
Even |, who have been with them, was
/ was astonished at Cincinnati. The chap
/ lain closed his invocation with the Lords
! prayer. When he commenced old gray
/ headed farmers accompanied him and
uttering the words as he uttered them.
| They did SO with tears in their
eyes. In all the lodges and meetings
there is a prayer. The best devotion,
| you must know, comes from the rural
districts. The people there heartily be-
lieve. Through the Alliance there is a
| religious feeling, and such people, when
IN earnest, are in earnest"
This reminds us of the scriptural quo
tation in reference to the earnestress of
a misguided sect wherein it is declared
that they ''have zeal, but not according
to knowiedge. st. Paul, accepting his
own statements for true, was never more
earnest or more conscientious than when
he abetted the stoning of the first Christ
ian martyr, or when on his way to Da-
mascuS after the Christian heretics said to
be there. Coming nearer home, aud to
our own times, the people of the south
made their cause of secession their reIig-
ion for time, and in almost every COM
munity daily prayer meetings were
held for the success of the cause during
the first year and half But their zeal
could not stand the strain, and it re-
Taxed, and we all know the outcome.
And so it will be in the case of the cur
rent movement, else the history of the
race in these regards viii find an excep-
ton here,
