How the Colonel Felt.

On one occasion a distinguished
Kentuckian Senator or Congressman,
as the case may be, witnessed the
burning Of big warehouse in his ma
tive village. He was viewing the
conhagration from the piazza OF res.
idence in this vicinity, and small
boy-friend of his would rush down and
back at intervals bringing him fresh
news of the fire.
ooh, colonel" exclaimed the excit-
ed boy after one trip, =" there S 20, ,OOO
bushels of wheat burning"
"Let it burn, my boy responded
the colonel grandly IS he swept his
hand over the landscape, I'VE oan
raise more wheat next year.
The boy ran off and came back
breathlcss.
"Oh, colonel" he exclaimed,
"there's hundred thousand pounds
of hemp burning
"Let it burn, my boy, " said the CO.
lionel waving his hand as before, we
can raise plenty more hemp next
year.
Again the boy departed and return
ed.
ooh, colonel he exclaimed
"thcrc's 25O barrels Of 1O-year-old
whisky burning"
Up jumped the colonel.
"Good Lord he shouted, "can,t
something be done to save it We
can't raise 25O barrels of lO-year-old
whisky next year." and he went after
the boy.

Abusing Babies.

There is a story of negro who
whipped his pig, and who, when asked
why he did it, had no reason to give
except that it was pig, and he had a
right to do what he pleased with it.
But might does not always make
right and there arc persons who need
to learn that no one has ri 1T
to do wrong, and that no il.
man being has absolute control over
another. :,
The tyranny which is exercised by
some persons over the weak and help
less is positively shocking. They
.scold, they taunt, they abuse, they
assault, they bully, and do acts Of
violence which endanger health, if
they do not sometimes imperil life it.

How would some of these scolding,
frctting, bullying people feel, if some
man or woman, say about eighteen
feet high, weighing five or six hun
dred pounds, and strong and muscular IN
proportion, should take itinto his head
to scold, and bully, and jaw at them ;
should take them up by one arm,
shake them until their heads woul d

and say, "Now, you sit there =
If some grown people could see
themselves as other people see them,
it is possible that in a lucid interval
they might be led to modify their
methods, and treat little children with
the consideration which is due to
them as creatures Of God and mem
bers Of the human family. There
are some people, who, instead Of dom n
ineering over their own chill
dren Of those of others which are cast
within their reach, need themselves
to become as little children, before
they can enter the kingdom of heaven;
How different from the snarling and
scolding brutality which is sometimes
seen, was the conduct O. Him who
took the little children in his arms
and blessed them, and who said, "Oi

$4O,oOo,0OO.

There was a man in this country
who went to bed at 10 o'clock one
night not long ago worth forty million
dollars. His wealth was so we'll inves-
ted that it yielded him net income
of at least two million dollars q year.
This was more than FIVE thousand dol
lars a day. But for many months
before he died he could not enjoy any
of the luxuries that he was so we'll
able to buy. His sole diet day after
day was hash and hot water He went
to bed, as I stated at ten o clock, fully
recognized in this world as one of its
richest men. But by twelve o clock he
was dead. He woke up before mid
night in another world. He did not
take with him any Of his deeds or
bonds or certificates Of stock. lie did
not take even the diamond ring on his
finger, How much was this millionaire
worth over there Unless he had laid
up treasure in heaven, as we'll as on
the earth, he was as Dives in the par
able who couldn't buy drop Of water
to cool his parched tongue. When we
think what man was created for, and
what, by Gods grace, he may become,
how transparent is the folly of making
wealth the great aim in life Wealth
brings more cares than pleasures. 1t
tcmpts its possessor to so many unholy
lusts and passions that it is called
in the Bible filthy lucre." Bunyan' $
picture of the. man with the muck
rake is no exaggeration. Multitudes
are raking just like him to-day-not
seeing, or despising the crown which
God is offering them. Yes they seek
riches though they know that in all
ages they have failed to secure even
earthly happiness, and that nota dollar
can they take with them when they
die. Let us not envy the millionaires
of earth, but rejoice if our names are
written in heaven.

Baby's Venomoua Cradle. Fellow.

LAKE CHARLES, La, Aug. A.
The wife of lumberman named Will
Hanson few days ago had novel
and terrifying experience with a rat
tle-snake. The Williamsons live near
here in small cabin on Lake Calca-
sieu. Mrs. Williamson had left her
six-months-old baby asleep in it's era
die, near the open door, and was going
about her household business, when
she happened to approach the little
bed to look at her child, and to her
horror saw line of notified green and
black nestled close to the form Of the
peacefully sleeping little one. The
ugly head was raised and resting on
the child's arm with its eyes keeping
drcwsy watch over it.
/ The mother sank near fainting, on
the floor, but with a parents bravery
realized that the snake must be dis
lodged at any cost to herself, as the
first or slightest movement OF the
babe the cruel fangs might be buried
in its flesh. 1t was necessary to act
with speed, so arming herself with a
pistol belonging to her husband, she
bent over the cradle, and with one
rapid gesture laid hold of the snake
by the end of its tail and as suddenly
gave it jerk which landed it on the
floor. The creature made at her with
uplifted head, sounding its dreadful
rattle as it coiled close to her feet;
But, aiming steadily she put ball
through it's body, and although it
again tried to attack her, she fred
again and again, and succeeded in il,
killing it. AS it died it flung itself
upon her foot and struck the shoe
with it's fangs, but it was only the
death agony, and the blow served only
to entangle it in the tie of the shoe,
to which it was still clinging when her
husband reached her, having heard the
shots and ran to her assistance

Dr. Bruce Ct the Royal Society of Edin-
burgh has read paper before the members
of that institution describing case Of hui
man cyclopia, or single eye" The case,
which was brought to his notice long
enough before the meeting Of the society to
give plenty of time for careful analysis Of
1t, Is one of the most remarkable in med
ical literature. The skull Of the infant
possessing this rare case of single eye" Is
provided with but one eye socket, lozenge
in shape, situated in the center of the fore
head just at the root of the nose" This
socket is furnished with two pairs of eye
lids, upper and lower, both sets being per
feet in shape and action. The nose Of the
monstrosity was as badly tout of line" as
the eye itself being represented by tissue
attached to the forehead above the eye,
which, as noted, was medal optic.
After the death OF this single eyed crea-
ture q postmortem microscopic examine
ton Of the eye was made A carefully pre-
pared statement of the facts thus adduced
shows that the socket contained two rudi-
mentary eyes besides the optic, which
peeped naturally from between the eyelids

rudimentary retinB, apparently springinp

As the end of his life drew near, IL was
easy to see that the village home where his
mother and sister lived and died was the
place he chiefly loved, but he was more in
accessible to his friends in Amesbury, and
the interruptions Of u fast growing factory
town were sometimes less agreeable to him
than the country life at Oak Knoll. Once
only he expresses this preference for the
dear old village home In one of his letters:
