AcknOWled gment.

Having become established in our
new home here in E.st Waco, which
has been comfortably fitted up through
the assistance of our many friends of
al denominations, we hereby most
sincerely acknowledge our heartfelt
gratitude for those tokens OF love and
respect; and in addition last night
quite large crowd gathered in to
congratu ate us, and also leave many
more tokens of their esteem to cheer
and comfort US, all Of which we hig hy
appreciated Language fails to ex.
press our feelings, yet as we go down
the steps OF time we shall ever look
back with pleasure to this bright
chapter in our lives. We sincerely
prav that the benedictions of Our
Father may rest on each and every
one down to their children's children.
May we all have sweet reunion in
the climes of the Best, where parting
is unknown.

"What makes a person Interestingly
1t cannot be intellectual brilliancy, for
we have all known men whose minds
were stored with the best thought of the
world, yet wholly failed to interest us;
women whose brains were developed
by the widest culture, yet were unable
to appear other than dry as dust cata-
logues of knowledge. Think of the peo-
pie who interest you and study their
qualities, and how few you find possess
ing just the same traits.
1t is all matter of magnetic soul cur
rents possibly. Why not? We can
hardly dispute that some human bodies
convey electricity much more readily
than others. In almost any gathering
Of a dozen persons at least one will be
found who possesses this strange power,
the touch of whose hand can cause a
sensation like that of touching an cleo
trio battery.
Is there anything impossible in the
theory that souls have their electric cur
rents, which pass more or less freely to
and fro according to the individual pow
er as conductor? Then we have but to
assume that the person who interests us
is one whose soul current mingles freely
with our own. This is perhaps more
satisfactory explanation than the more
commonly received one of animal mag
netism, quality on lower plane and
infinitely less subtle in character.-Bos-
ton Advertiser.

Earthquake Phenomena.

The Wild, untamed earthquake is a
terribly thing to encounter. The ''quak-
ing" the rending of the earth's surface
and tie other incidental Accomplishments
usually described are only 1.-THE of the
real terrors of seismic shock. To some
the 1pise which precedes the real shock
is nbre terror inspiring than the
quake" itself. Father Kircher describes
thesssubterranean rumbhngs as "a hor-
rid sound resembling that of an infinite
number of chariots driven fercely for
ward, mingled with the noise of crack
ing whips, neighing of horses and the
cries of victory and despair on the part
Of the characters"
The sounds which preceded the great
lisbon earthquake are said to have re-
sembAd "the rumbling of empty omni-
buses, shariots and barrels, the noise in
creasingin volume until it equaled the
roar of a thousand cannons." Another
pecuiarity is the gyratory motion that
is frequently impaired to sections Of
earth of greater or lesser area. AT Go.
lares in 1856 several stone houses in the
lower quarters of the city were turned
completely aroaud, this, too, without
rendering them uninhabitable.- st.

The Conductors Large Acquaintance.

Ane COn0HcGoEts Large acquaintance
"When / was out In Chicago at the
opening of the Worlds fair" said q
friend of mine, 81 had occasion to make
q call ON some old acquaintance on the
West Side. The streets in that portion
of the city had many of them the bap-
tismal names of women, and as lived
there at one time the calling of them by
the car conductor sounded familiar to
me, although it seemed to puzzle an old
oountryman on board, who was doubt
less visiting Chicago for the first time.
There were a number of ladies among
the passengers, and as the conductor
called out Elizabeth the car stopped,
and one of them got off. A few squares
farther and there was the call Ada,
followed by stop and the exit of an
other lady.
"The old countryman began to look
interested, and when the next call came,
May and he saw lady gather up her
bundles and walk down the aisle, he had
a puzzed air. In quick succession there
came Pauline Roberta and augusta,
followed by the departure Of passen-
ger. The old man could not stand it
any longer. His eyes bulged out, and
making a rush for the platform be said
in stage whisper to the conductor,
Great snakes, mister, do you know the
names of all the women folks in this big
town.
He had been under the impression
that each woman who left the car an
swered to the name that was called out. "
