A Solemn Thought.

Did you ever stop and think while
reading the morning paper that the
next days issue might contain your
obituary. A cheerful thought, but
the suddenness of death might well
set us all thinking Our tenure of life
is about as fraiI as the hold of an apple
on the bough when the wind is blow
ing. There is no use getting frightened
about it. either. If the apple is going
to fall. pray heaven it may be ripe and
sound to the very core; that is all that
is essential. There has been lots oil
sunshine for us all wherein to grow
sweethearted and mellow if we have
not willfully interposed our own
shadows to hinder the process.
And all the storms that have beaten
us. and the gales that have rocked us,
and the very frosts that have nipped
us now and :hen have been pursuing
that strange alchemic process whereby
iuices are made sweet and fiber soft

been content to grow the way fate
chose to have us grow. Then wha'
matter what hour the swift breeze
comes that detaches us from the

THE leveling tendencies of our

with sigh, ARE breaking down all
our old idols In my day the CON
ductor was the great man on the rail
road. When was first raised to be
superintendent every passenger con-
ductor on the road looked down upon
me because had only been master
mechanic before The way that some
of these conductors would walk out
of the office, glance at the train and
signal the engineer was a sight to be
hold. All the small boys locked upon
the conductor as one having reached
the height of human greatness, and
the ladies brought him bouquets OF
the finest flowers. Locomotive En-

Our Puritan ancestors were strongly
inclined to refer every occurrence to an
overriding providence. They were not
wrong in theory, but the practice of
calling in frequent special interposi-
tons rather confused the idea of be-
neficent natural law. The old view is
brought out in a story told OF John
Eliot, the apostle to the Indians He
was as ready to do his white neighbors
a good turn as to labor for the spiritual
welfare of the savages. Indeed, he
was thought by some to be too gen
erous
His salary was often distributed for
the relief Of his needy neighbors SO
soon after the period at which it was
received that before another pay day
arrived his own family we're straitened
for the comforts of life One day the
parish treasurer, when called upon by
Mr.. Eliot for the salary due, put it into
a handkerchief, and tied the ends OF
the handkerchief in as many hard knots
as he could, in order to prevent the
pastors giving away the money before
he got home
The good man received his handker-
chief and took leave of the treasurer
He Immediately went to the house OF
a sick and necessitous family. On en-
tering he gave them his blessing, and
told them that God had sent them
some relief
The sufferers, with tears of gratitude,
welcomed their pious benefactor, who,
with moistened eyes, began to unite
the knots in his handkerchief. After
many efforts to get at his money, and
impatient at the perplexity and delay,
he gave the handkerchief and all the
money to the mother of the family,
saying with trembling accent, Here,
my dear, take it; believe the Lord de-
signs it all for you. Youths Com
panion.

like an epaulet, falls over all the sur

the button, held by a simple contriv-

thick bar of peacock feathers. Apart
from their barbaric splendor, these

A few figures will show how much
ooison the tea drinker is taking IN.
Strong tea contains per cent, OF
theme, which is about three and three
fifths grains to dram. A teaspoon
ful of tea is dram, and hence ac'
cording TO the old rule of a teaspoon
full to the cup there would be three
and three-fifths grains of theme IN
single cup of strong tea. Seven grains

In a room the air arranges itself
according to its temperature. The
hottest lies along the ceiling, the
coolest along the floor, The hottest
is the newest and purest. The cool
est is the Oldest, and therefore the
foulest. The air is gradually cooling
from contact with the walls and win
dows. When hot air enters a room
it rises at once to the ceiling and
spreads across it. If there is an es-
cape there, an open window or ven
tilator, it goes out, leaving the cooler
foul air almost undisturbed. From
this we see that window slightly
open at the top may cool room, but
not purify it.-New York Journal.

IN THE NICK OF TIME.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder
and kidney complaints Is when the organs con
cerned exhibit a 6ercy TO grow inactive. The
healthful impulse toward activity that they re-
eeiye from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues
them from impending danger and averts such
dangerous maladies as Bright's disease and dta
betes. Sluggishness of the kidneys increases 9
liability to chronic rheumatism, govt and dropEy
and since the blood is filtered by these organs in
its passage through them, the operation of the
Bitters serves a doubly happy purpose. The med
icine acts without exciting, like the fiery stimu
pated and nervous invalids are thoroughly re
lieved by it. Since the advent of that shocking
malady, la grippe. it has been widely demon

land He has built for himself
q magnificent castle in his ma
tive country, but he has not
ceased TO ask the republican
party to increase the protection
of his steel works in Pennsyl-
vania in order that he might
pay American laborers more for
their labor. This the republi-
can party has done, and de-
clared to the American people
that the only way to advance
the price Of the laborers wages
was 10 protect the lnanufactur-
ers. Now what does the coun-
try sees Ii sees one of the very
best protected manufacturers
IN the whole land reducing the
wages Of his workmen forty per
cent. II sees these workmen
protesting against being re
duced To starving wages. IL
hears In answer to their protest
a volley of musketry from the
hired hessians Of the Pinkerton
army. Such is the result of re-
publican protection Ii enriches
the few, impoverishes the many,
and, when starving men are
asking for relief and justice,
they are shot down like dogs in
the presence ot their wives and
children. The country will wit.
ness such dramas Just 80 long
as the protective policy Of the
republican party obtains-a
false policy, because defended
upon the idea that it enhances
the price of lahore, when every
fact proves that the contrary Is
true. Its central idea is ruin to
the consumer and prosperity TO
the manufacturer. It fosters
special interests that a few may
grow rich, while many grow
poor, and hurries the govern
ment on TO Capitalization and
monarchy.
