STONED the Miracles.

The tomb of Saint Etenne de Muret.
canonized in 1888, in the Abbey of
Grandmond, was so great an offender
on account of the number of miracles
that the religious were completely worn
out by the rush Of votaries. The prior
devised, however, a very simple but eff
fective remedy for this grievance. Be-
taking himself to the tomb, he spake as
follows: Servant of God, you preached
to us the delights of solitude and yet
you assemble in cur retreat as many
people as if it were market or fair
We are sufficiently persuaded of your
sanctity not to be curious about your
miracles. If, then, you will not leave
off working them, we protest and declare
on high, in virtue of the obedience we
have promised you, that we will un-
earth your bones and throw them into
the river" AS might be expected, the
threat was sufficient, and Saint Etienne
de Muret did no more miracles.-All the
Year Round.

A Useful Patrol Wagon.

a useful patrol wagon has been de-
vised for electric railroaders. 1t is con-
structed very much like police wagon
but has square tower rising out of it
which is mounted by ladder. The
tower is raised OF lowered by means of a
crank and pulley, and when elevated to
its full extent it is fifteen feet high. The
consequence is that the lineman can
drive under the wire to be repaired and
be Immediately placed by the raising of
the tower on level with his work. The
patrol wagon is a great improvement on
the old method of repairing, without its
risks.--Exchange

Music, Welsh and Basque.

Having two American friends stop
ping with us, we brought a nice Welsh
girl from Dolgelly one evening to sing
to them the national songs. Miss Madge
Roberts, sweet, pretty young lady and
excellent singer, went over an immense
repertory of Welsh music, and Miss s.,
who is a very scientific musician, made
many remarks on the peculiarities OF
the Welsh scale, etc. Suddenly she ex-
claimed: II cannot think what music
it is that l know that these Welsh tunes
so much resemble. Stay, it is Basque"
and she proceeded to hum three or four
typical Basque songs. Miss Roberts
and all of us instantly recognized the
similarity of these with the Welsh, es-
pecially the oldest Welsh, songs which
she had been singing.
Miss S. was very much surprised when
told her that Professor Boyd Dawkins
believed in the original identity Of the
Basque and pre-Celtic Welsh, theory
of which she was quite ignorant, SO that
her testimony to the similarity of the
national music was entirely spontaneous.

of no value, but there does appear to me
to be in the old Welsh music, as in q
great deal Of the Welsh character, dis
tinctly non-Aryan spritelike character,
irreducible to the order so dear to the
Saxon soul. The music goes on for a
few bars with even, exaggerated en-
phasis on time as in a soldiers march;
then suddenly, as if tired of it, bounds
off among the bushes, hop, skip and
jump and never comes back!-London

THE LAST DECADE.

When murky clouds that pail summer DAY
Do, ere its close, dissolve and drift away,
what iovous smiles break DER the sunlit plain,
How stirs the dormant pulse of life again!
And in the afterglow of fading light
There breathes a promise of a morrow bright;
So at this century's eventide-whose years
Vain hopes have wrought to merge in darken-
ing fears
Doth man rejoice; for from a rifted west
Assuring rays beam cross his weary quest,
Dull, leaden skies now change to gladdening
. hues;
The waiting heart its cherished song renews;
That song divinel-not less its power than
when

Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward of $500 for an incura-
BILE case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DIR. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields to that. BY its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures the worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's a risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at

Believed That 1t is Practically Over--Deci-
sive Vote Probable To-Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The storm
clouds which have lowered over the House
for nearly two weeks have lifted and there
is sunlight ahead. Unless something I'M
forseen happens, there is every reason to
believe that the fight over the Worlds
Fair item has ended, the Sundry Civil
bill will pass, also a separate bill
making an appropriation (as gift of 3d.
500, 900 for the Fair, and that Congress
will adjourn in few days.
When the House assembled Mr.. Catch
ings, Dem. Miss. } from the committee on
rules reported a resolution making the
day suspension day, which was adopted
Mr.. Holman then submitted a resolu-
ton extending the appropriations under
the Sundry Civil bill until August 10,
which was agreed to.
Mr.. Holman offered a resolution that
the House should reconsider the vote by
which it decided to recede from its dis
agreement to the Senate amendments in
the Sundry Civil bill; insist upon further
disagreement and send it to conference
again. He moved its passage.
This proposition was debated by Mr.
Bingham (Rep., Pa who said that per
sonally he had no information about the
that obtained from the public press.
There was an agreement on the Republi-
can side of the House that the appropria-
tions should be extended for six days
All preliminary proceedings had been con-
CURED in by the Republicans in order that
the Sundry Civil bill should go to confer
ence. He thought the House was entitled
to some explanation of the agreement and
the plan proposed.
Mr. Reilly lDaD1 Pa \ rand ho y,roY1osi
tlon and said that in the interest of public
business the Advisory COMMITTEES had
submitted the agreement as the best
solution possible under the cir
cumstances He hoped there would
be no obstruction to the PROPOSE
ton, and said that if there was he had no
doubt that the necessary cloture rule
could be obtained from the Committee on
Rules to compel q vote. There had not
been dissenting voice in the caucus of
120 Democratic members.
Mr.. McMillin (Dem., TENN said that
the terms of the agreement were we'll I'M
derstood, and that no one had q right to
speak for the Committee on Rules.
Future action could not be discounted
Mr.. DingleY rep, Me- then desired to
know how a vote was to be had, and Mr.
Dockery Dem, NO. soto voce, said they
could cross that bridge when they came
to it.
Mr.. Henderson Rep., Ill., could see
nothing ahead but a trap. 1t reminded
him of the spider and the fly.
Mr.. Reilly Dem, Pa then offered reso-
luton and asked it's passage, that the
House should consider the substi-
tute for the Durborrow bill appropriating
So, 5000, 900 at once and to vote upon it
to-day at one o'clock, no intervening
motion to be entertained until the bill
shall have been finally disposed Of
After heated debate the resolution passed
by vote of 1877 to z.
