Antidote for Mercurial Poisoning.

Employees in certain departments of incandescent lamp factories, and in other industries in which mercury is ex- tensively employed, will rejoice in the discovery of an effective antidote for mercury poisoning. Mercury and it's compounds are universally known to have most injurious influence on the human system, and the shake, the short ness of breath, the sickening pallor, the Estlessness and semistupefaction of operators who are daily subjected to its fumes are sadly familiar to those con- nected with the pumprooms of lamp factories. Much has been done to i'm prove the health of the workmen by means of ventilation and improved ma chinery and pumps, but still the evil exists to serious extent. Slight cases are usually and quickly cured by change of air or of work, but if not taken in time the trouble may end fatally. It is not always, however, that workman can afford to take change of air or turn his hand to new employment, and here the new remedy comes in.
 Some four years ago one of the part ners in a large Parisian incandescent lamp manufacturing firm became sali- vated while experimenting with mer cury pumps, and he cured himself con- pletely by means of small doses of iodide of potassium dissolved in milk. He next administered similar doses to some workmen in his lamp factory, who were suffering from mercury poisoning, and they quickly and completely recovered. In his present factory, into which he moved a year ago, there has not been a single case of salvation, and this ex- emption is attributed to the fact that doses of the iodide have been continu- ously administered to the workmen. Men from other factories have been taken on who on entering exhibited the characteristic signs of mercury poison ing, and who recovered forthwith. The daily dose supplied by the firm to each man is .25 gram of the crystallized salt, dissolved in about 400 cubic cen timeters of milk.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Not a Cautions Man.

"Go and order him out once more" In about ten minutes the man returned and reported: 'I doan' want to seem capshus, sah, but I dun ordered him out, just as you said" "And he didn't go?" "No, sah. He said he'd see me in Texas fust. What would be your advice under such circumstances" "If man was in my house and wouldn't go out I'd put him out" Would it seem capshus, sahf" '1 don't think so."

Mir. Gratebar,s Son Philip.

My friend Walter Gratebar," said Mir. Staybolt, ''seems to think that his son Philip, who has just turned twelve, is Q remarkable boy. Mir. Gratebar lives in the suburbs, in house which has slate roof. It appears that in the course of some repairs to this roof last fall many small fragments of slate were scattered about on the ground. When the time came to clean up around and roll the lawn this spring it occurred to Mir. Crate bar that those bits of slate ought to be picked up. He hadn't lived in the country long, but he had lived there long enough to know that grass wouldn't grow through slate.
 After picking up about two hundred pieces himself and finding that it was back breaking work MT. Gratebar thought he had better get Philip to pick up the rest; so he talked it over with him one night at dinner, and Philip undertook, in consideration of the sum of fifteen cents, to clean up the remaining slate on the following day. It was understood that all the money was to be withheld until the completion of the work, and that the work must be done to MT. Gratebar's en- tire satisfaction.
 "When Mir Gratebar started for town next morning he found Philip on the lawn knocking baseball about with great ear nestness. George, aged seven. and Clara, aged five, with an old grape basket near them, were laboriously digging out and picking up the scraps of slate.
 "'How's this, Philipi' said MT. Crate bar. I thought I hired you to pick up that slate
 "'You did, said Philip, and Pm doing it. Don't disturb yourself. I'll attend to it.
 "That night when MT. Gratebar got home he found that the work had been carefully and thoroughly done. There was no ground upon which he could withhold payment.
 "'But,' he said to Philip, T hired you to do that work and you seem to have got George and Clara to do it.
 CT sublet the contract, said Philip, and when I get the money Pm going to pay George and Clara nickel apiece. Seer
 "Mr. Gratebar did see, and he paid over the money very cheerfully, and he didn't hesitate to say to Mrs. Gratebar, after the youthful contractor had gone to bed, that he thought Philip was a great boy."-New York Sun.

 From this dark vale of tears
 To heavenly joy and freedom,
 From earthly care and fears
 When Christ my Lord shall gather

 hear my Saviour calling; The joyful hour has come; The angel guards are ready To guide me to our home. When Christ our Lord shall gather All his redeemed again, His kingdom to inherit Good night till then.
 My subject advances, and tells you of the symbols they carry. If my text had represented the good Tn heaven as ca4s rying cypress branches, that would have meant sorrow. If my text had repre- sented the good in heaven as carrying nightshade, that would have meant sin. But it is palm branch they carry, and that is victory. When the people came home from war in olden times the con- queror rode at the head of his troops, and there were triumphal arches, and the people would come out with branch es of the palm tree and wave them all along the host. What significant type this of the greeting and of the joy of the | redeemed in heaven! On earth they were condemned, and were put out of polite circles. They had infamous hands strike them on both cheeks. Internal | spite spat in their faces. Their back | ached with sorrow.
 Their brow reeked with unalleviated | toll. How weary they werel Sometimes they broke the heart of the midnight in | the midst of all their anguish, crying | out, 70 Godp But hark now to the shout of the delivered captives, as they | lift their arms from the shackles and l they cry out, "Free! free!" They look back upon all the trials through which they have passed, the battles they have fought, the burdens they carried, the misrepresentations they suffered, and because they are delivered from all these they stand before God waving their | palms. They come to the feet of Christ, and they look up into his face, and they remember his sorrows, and they remern- Der his pain. and they remember his groans, and they say: "Why, I was saved by that Christ. He pardoned my sins, he soothed my sorrows" and stand ing there they shall be exultant, waving their palms.
 ] NO MORE TOLL OR SORROW.
 That hand once held the implement ot toll or wielded the sword of war, but now it plucks down branches from the tree of life as they stand before the throne waving their palms. Once he was pilgrim on earth; he crunched the hard crusts-he walked the weary way but it is all gone now; the sin gone, the weariness gone, the sickness gone, the sorrow gone. As Christ stands up be fore the great array of the saved and re counts his victories it will be like the rocking and tossing of forest in 8 tenn pest, as all the redeemed rise up, host beyond host, rank beyond rank, waving their palms.
 My subject makes another advance ment, and speaks of the song they sing

Scramble For the P. o.

Already there are Il number of eager
applicants for the post office in this place
The Democrats have ceased their male
dictions upon the ''robber" tariff and are
now in grand scramble for the spoils.
Foremost among the candidates for post
master is J. B. Ryan, the former post
master under Cleveland. Next comes
Mrs. Mary Campbell, who was deputy
under Ryan and has remained in the
same position under Mr.. Hunt. Then
George Linn, the Guernsey county states
man, who has been in for everything in
sight since he came to st. Clairsville,
thinks his law practice would not inter
ferelwith his post-office duties. George
Steenrod, too, who is remembered as a
recent candidate for township treasurer,
would like to spell out the addresses on
envelopes and chuck them i'll the boxes.
Squire David Davies would like to write
p. NJ after his name, aud R. NJ. Collins,
too, thinks he has performed sufficient
service for his party to merit the ap-
pointment. These are only few, but
the list will no doubt be greatly increased
ere G. Cleveland becomes President. But
as check to the gentle aspirations of
some it is stated on the authority of
some of the party leaders that when the
appointment is made it will be Jim Ryan
and that no others need expect anything.
Later-George Linn states he is not a
candidate.
