Ir takes knowledge of God to tell
man what he is.
SAYING good bye to our sins one at
a time is slow work.
The man who is resting in God is
always busy for Christ
WHOEVER opposes truth is bound
to come out a loser by it.
THE place for the revival to begin
IS in the preachers heart
MEN are most like Christ when
they are suffering for him.
THE man who thinks as Christ did
will try 20 do as Christ did.
LOVES name can be written only
in blood drawn from its own heart.
xSoMETf1tEs little troubles eli earth
open very big windows in Heaven.
THE devil has no fault to find with
the man who is in love with himself
HUMAN nature on the throne is no
better than human nature in the gut
ter
IT is a grand thing to belong to
church, but a grander one to belong
to God
PEOPLE are scarce who do not talk
more than they should about them
selves
PEOPLE sometimes make the most
noise in church when they are sound
asleep.
The man who talks much about
himself will always have tired au-
dience.
SOME preachers fail because they
preach about Christ instead of preach
ing him.
EVERY man who is right with God
is Il man on whom the devil keeps
close watch.
THE world is full of people who
want to do good but are in no hurry
to commence.
THE heart is the largest thing in
the world, because it taxes more than
the world to fill it.
ONE of the saddest sights upon
which angels have to look is the life
Of lonely child.
WHETHER we get to Heaven or not
is to be decided by what we love, not
by what we know.
If you want to have power to lead
others, learn to control the man who
wears your own hat
WHEN we get to Heaven we will
all find that we have had something
to do with building it,
The woman who paints her cheeks
and the man who dyes his whiskers
never fool but one person.
OUR first parents made Gods bless.
tngs a means of cursing themselves.
People are still doing that.
THE fact that the devil is opposing
4 man ought to be sufficient evidence
that he is on the Lords side.
EVERY time a man sins he has one
more reason for trying to prove that
the church is full of hypocrites.
WHENEVER good thought knocks
at the door of the mind, Jesus Christ
is asking to come into the heart.

Tie lial an laukcrs of the fourteenth

easy way OF Of tanning money in tim IS
OF necessity, being. in eject, a forced
loan from the people. Paper bills are
promises to pay and when the Gov
eminent issues them In exchange for
supplies or services it has actually
borrowed just so much from the man
TO whom it pays them 1t, however,
allows him to pass this note in pay
ment of his debts, so instead OF being
a loan from him singly, it is loan
from the whole people.
The ease with which the notes may
be issued has led many Governments
into disastrous experiments in time
OF war and stress, the promises being
issued in such profusion that they be-
come OF no value.
The continental currency issued
during the Revolution by the Amerl-
can Congress and the assignats OF
the French Revolution NAV be in
stanced. Paper money depends for
its value on the ability OF the au-
thority that issues it to give value
for it when payment is demanded.
When the issue of the Civil War was
10 doubt the value Of the greenbacks
issued by the United States sunk to
one-third their face value, due partly
to "A lack of confidence in the Govern
mcnt and due still more to the GER
taintY that payment Of the notes
must be indefinitely postponed.
Even when the war closed and there
was no longer doubt Of the Govern
ment the currency was deprecated
for thirteen years. The Government
was in the position Of the man known
to his neighbors as good but slow

The Government was known TO be
good for tn. amount and it was GER

enough for the man who wanted to

passed the note at a discount.

promise Of the Government to redeem

the notes are presented they pass at
their face value. II there is doubt
on this point the notes must pass at
a discount. greater or less, according
to circumstances II there is no
chance that they will ever be paid
they are worth nothing at all. AS
the United States Government has
stood ready since 1879 to redeem in
gold any notes as soon as presented,
its currency passes without question
at its face value

In Switzerland the manufacture of
spirits is a government monopoly.
The effect has been to furnish pure
liquors at high prices, thus ameliora-
ing the injurious results of the drink
ing habit and indirectly encouraging
the consumption of cheaper wine and
beer. The income from the sale of
spirits is made to pay Tor the care of

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble2
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

SHOT BY A WOMAN.

Well Known Paris Doctor Almost
KIlled-straugo Story Told by His As
snilnnt.
PARIS, Dec. 7,--Dr. Tourette, a well
known pupil Of the late DR.. Charcos,
was shot while seated in his consulting
room yesterday evening. 1t appears
that DR.. Tourette was seated at his
desk reading book when the door OF
MS consulting room was opened and a
pretty young woman entered and rapid
~ approached the doctor. The latter
upon hearing the rustic OF the woman's
dress and the sound oil hor footsteps,
turned mis- head and must have sprung
to his feet and attempted to escape
from the room. Tho woman fired three
shots at him with revolver before no
could make his exit from the room, one
OF the shots taking effect behind DR..
Tourette's right ear
The noise caused by the revolver
shots attracted the doctors servant and
other people to the spot, and the
woman, whose still smoking revolver
was in her hand, was arrested and dis
armed. When arrested she at first re-
fused to give any account OF herself, but
later on said her name was Camper and
excitedly declared that she was justified
in shooting DR.. Tonrette, as he had
placed her under his hypnotic influence
and that it was impossible for her to re-
gain possession Of her own will unless
she killed him. DR.. Tourette is not
dangerously wounded.

BEN TENNIS HANGED.
The Brutal Murderer OF Little Alice Wright
Dies ON the Scuhold.

HARRtsBuRG, PA, Dec. Ben Tennis
was hanged in tho Dauphin county jail
yard this morning in the presence of
over one thousand spectators. The
drop fell at 1880 o'clock, aud fifteen
minutes after the physicians pro-
nounced him dead.
This afternoon his body was taken to
Hummelstown for burial, The crush
to get inside the jail yard was some.
thing awful. Three men tainted and
had to be taken out Of the crowd by the
police. Tennis mounted the gallows
with Grm tread and at once made a
brief prayer in German. He expressed
sorrow for his crime and asked forgive
ness OF all. q,
This morning tho parAnts OF Tennis
victim visited him and cheerfully grant
ed him forgiveness. They were also
present at tho execution.
Tennis's crime was one Of the most
revolving in the annals OF the criminal
history OF Pennsylvania. His victim
was Agnes Cooper Wright, school
girl OF nine years, whom he outraged
and then choked to death because oil
her threat to expose him TO her mother.
The double crime was committed on
September 10. 1885, and one week later
Tennis was arrested while at work in
corn field near the scene. On his way
to tho DQuphin county jail he broke
down and made confession to his cap
tors, in which he detailed at length the
scenes which eliminated in murder
His arrest was followed by great indig-
nation, and when the confession was
made threats of lynChiug were heard
all through the county. Two weeks
after the crime was committed he
pleaded guilty to the charge Of murder
and evidence was taken by the court to
establish the degree OF his crime. The
court decided that he was guilty OF
murder in thofrst degree andsentenced
him to death.

Queen LII Demands Protection From
Cleveland.
The New York Herald, which has
claimed to be the inspired organ Of the
administration upon Hawaiian affairs,
has the following in its Westinghouse
respondence:
ut is now evident to the officials Of
the administration that they still have
q hercuIean task on their hands. They
are disappointed, of course, that Minis
ter Willis found the conditions untavor-
able to the carrying out OF the policy
originally outlined, but ut the same time
they are gratitied TO learn that no con.
hict ensued alter it became officially
known what the attitude OF this govern
ment was.
"The contingencies which have arisen
to delay Minister Willis in carrying out
his original instructions the Herald OK
planned When Minister Willis frat
cipher dispatch reached tho state de-
partment after his arrival at Honolulu.
This explanation was to the e1ec: that
he found the provisional government
much more strongly intrenched from a
military standpoint than was 0ntici-
pated at the time the instructions were
given him. He also found, now learn,
that the queen was unwilling to risk
going back on the throne unless this
government would promise her its
moral support. This the administration
has never contemplated.
"lhe Presidents chief desire has been
to undo the gross wrongs perpetrated
by the last administration as far as pos
sible, but he has no intention to 90 fur
Their and guarantee protection to Liiiou-
kalani when she had enjoyed no such
protection prior to her dethronement.
Finding these conditions, Minister
Willis asked for further instructions.
While administration officials still
maintain the greatest secrecy regarding
these instructions, there are good rea-
sons for believing that they authorize
Minister Willis to mnintain status
quo until he again hears from Wash
ington. In the meantime, it is under
stood, the President will submit Mr..
Willis report and special message to
Congress, and will leave the settle
ment Of the Hawaiian question to that
branch OF the government"
