A PREACHERS MISTAKE.
An ILLUSTRATION Which Showed Lack
of knowledge.

Preachers are not always correct
in the SMILES they borrow from ma
ture to exc out their parallels and
allegories. A clergyman, rather
superb in religious oratory, was
describing a soul clpgged down with
worldly surroundings and yearnings
after higher flights. He gave a "true
story" by way of illustration. An
eaglet, caught by hunters, was kept
in a barnyard with the fowls, to
grow up among them and share
their lot. His wings were clipped to
begin with, but the hunters-uncom-
monty simple folk-forgot to notice
when these had grown again, and the
noble bird, scorning the companion,
ship of mere poultry, flew aloft one
day to join some of his own kin who
were passing overhead. Now, is 1T
likely that any man with the least
acqu intance with natural history
would, or could, keep an eagle among
fowls walking loose? The chickens
would be thinned out at a rate of
two or three a day till there were
none left; and as though "hunters,"
of all persons, were capable of such
mistakel But, then, theologians are
sometimes SO funnily ignorant of the
world that lies outside their study
walls.

CREAPLIvING
The Experiment Tried by q Boston
Man Recently


A reporter of the Boston Herald
has put to n practical test the asser-
ton of Mr.. Edward Atkinson that a
man can provide himself "with COM
plete nourishlent, in the form of
solid food, at the cost of one dollar
a week or less" and has, according
to his account in that paper, verified
the assertion bylhis experiment. The
practical success of Mr.. Atkinson's
proposition depends, as the Herald
man explains, upon the use of cheap
fuel, entirely consumed, applied with
out loss to food that loses nothing
in it's cooking" The reporter ac-
cordingly used one of the ovens sug-
gested by Mr.. Atkinson, cooking by
an oil clamp, the heat being so con-
centrated and confined to the oven
as to utilize all of it in the prepara-
ton of the food. He gives a long
and amusing description of his
weeks experiment, and triumphant
~ announces that cit is true that a
full-grown person may feed himself
abundantly-yes, luxuriously-on the
best homely food in the market-ex-
/, pensive meats and dainties excepted
considerably inside the limit OF
one dollar. lie gives the following
summary of the cost of each meal
and the total cost for the week: Sat
urday, breakfast 80, dinner S72,
II OF cents; Sunday, breakfast 4.S5,
dinner S.73, 1888 cents; Monday,
breakfast TO, dinner $50, 13 So
cents; Tuesday, breakfast 5.55, din
ner 962, 1917 cents; Wednesday
breakfast 6 Is, dinner IL 81, 17.76
cents; Thursday, breakfast PA,
dinner 5.64, 7.78 cents; Friday,
breakfast 263, dinner, 5 SO, 8 OF
cents; total cost, 1890. Average
per day, 1855 cents; average per
meal, 5.2S cents.
Counting the cost of the oil used
for fuel and of some minor items not
included in the above calculation, he
computes the total cost for the seven
days at ninety-nine and ninety hun
dredths cents. Beans, onions, beets
and potatoes figured largely in his
bills of fare, but he also had during
the week such meats as lamb, beef
and pork, and other viands, such as
macaroni, apple sauce, cranberry
sauce, grapes, bread and butter,
while he had coffee, with sugar in it,
to drink. He provided himself with
accurate scales SO as to ascertain the
exact amount of food he consumed,
and gives the results to the minutest
details with reportorial conscien,
tiousness and care. He was doing
his usual work for the paper during
his experiment, and thinks that with
little more time at his disposal be
could have made an even better
showing and have introduced such
cheap desserts as bread puddings
and pies in his menus.

ssThat Wife of Yours"

Rev. A. II. Studebaker of Baltimore,1
| trust you married your wife be-
cause you loved her. Not all men do
so. But if you did not you married
an ever-present misery. Money,
position, the desire or Vaccinations
of friends, a score of reasons in which
self-interest is dominant, lead many
men into matrimony. Its sufficient
to say that they usually live long
enough to regret it.
Only a pure and supreme affection
will lead along the way of a God
blessed marriage. That wife OF yours
is the complement of yourself. Let
the tenderness and lovingness OF
courtship days, their unfailing cour-
tesy, their considerate kindness, their
affectionate regard, remain a feature
OF your married life. Better than a
costly Christmas present for many a
wife would be the gilt from her hus-
band of return to his ante-nuptial
arts of love.
Again, l trust you married your
wife because you thought she would
be q helpmate, brave, sensible,
practical, Industrious co-laborer. II
that is SO, then appreciate her. What
untold multitudes of faithful wives
blessing this world, shedding over
numberless homes the sweet infiu-
ences of a ministering affection,
whose faulty, exacting, unreasonable
and sometimes arbitrary husbands
have never understood or recognized
the sterling worth OF the women Ivy
their sides! A husband will tear
loose from a mean, unfaithful wife,
but it is a mystery beyond me how
many a true, patient, self-sacrificing
wife will cling to a contemplate,
drunken, faithless husband, going
down with him, accomplishing, into
poverty, suffering, even disgrace.
That wife of yours is, l assume, in
sympathy with your life work. Then
you cannot be permanently dis
couraged, even though you tempo
rarily fail. So let no intellectual
divorce separate you. Legal physi-
cal divorce is quite serious enough,
but what shall be said of this other
Keep your wife interested in your
life-work, in touch with it; with he1
discuss it's difficulties and consider
it's opportunities, and with her share
it's encouragementsa and balve it's sue
cesses. Never make such fatal mis-
take as considering her indiffer ent OIL
incompetent to counsel.

A Peculiar Suit.

A peculiar suit was filed in the Su-
perior Court at Atlanta, Ga, few
days ago. George ". Dickinson sues
G. w. and Silas Donaldson and f. f.
Seubel for $4,000 On the account of
humiliation. Dickinson claims that
the defendants, at the muzZles of pis-
tolls, waylaid him on the highway,
and marching him some distance
where the county changing was at
work, the defendants, being guards of
the chain gang, forced him to work in
a sewer along with the convicts, be-
cause he owed one of the defendants
$3.50. He was kept at work with the
Chain gang until his father-in-law
came to his rescue by paying the$l. 80.

Vance's Address.
From the Charlotte Observer

From the Charlotte Observer
The burden of Senator Vance's adj
dress at Raleigh Tuesday was that
the farmer is the door mat of every
body else and that this class should
band together for purposes offensive
and defensive. We have no SYM
pathy with the idea that the farmer
is an underling nor with the idea
that he stands alone, the represen-
tative of a class whose interests clash
with all other interests and to whose
interests, therefore, all other classes
are opposed. As to the advice that
the farmers ought to vote as a class
not organize a party of their own
but still as a class vote all together
this advice is as familiar as house
hold words. 1t was this talk that
gave vitality to the Farmers ALI
ance when it set up business, and we
have lived to see this organization
conducted bodily into the Populist
party-the result of organizing to
ssvote together. =

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
Canals Afford Much Cheaper Freish
Than Railroads.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat]
The cost of moving freight by
water is less than by rail. A horse
can draw, at the rate of three feet
second, 1920 pounds on a good
wagon road, 10000 pounds on a
rail track and 100000 to 100000
pounds by water. Transportation
10y rail, therefore, is nine times cheap
er than by cart--even over a good
road-and transportation by water
at least four times cheaper than by
rail, other things being equal. The
cost of water transportation between
Duluth and Buffalo is .O15 cents per
ton mile, as against seventeen cents
by the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road for a similar distance A vessel
can carry four times it's weight, a car
only one and half times.
In the matter of the cost and
maintenance of equipment for NOV
ing freight, the waterway has an
other decided advantage over the
railroad. A ship costs about one
fifth as much as a train of cars OF
equal carrying capacity, whereas,
the life of the ship is longer and ex-
penses of maintenance less A long
canal barge of 500 tons burden has
three times the capacity of an aver
age train.
The cost of moving a ton of freight
a mile on the railroads of the United
States (exclusive of the cost of main
tenanCe of way and structures) was
.522 cents in 1890. Compare this
with the average freight rate of 1875
cents per ton mile on the traffic car,
ried on free natural waterway like
the great lakes. On a canal the cost
is naturally higher, yet even there it
is less than the railroad route, OF
about 223 cents mile"

PASSENGER AGENT rooKER.


Disease, like train, acquires momen-
tum.
One can't attend too early to the signs
of nervous debility. Habits are creases
in the body often made as thoughtlessly
as the folds in an old newspaper. Every
time you double up under the pain Of
rheumatism or dyspepsia or neuralgia
YOU deepen a very bad habit.
Grasp your illness by the forelock,
drag it from its hiding-place, and it loses
half its terror.
One of the most popular passenger
agents in the United States, as well as
one of the ablest, is Mr.. M. b. Tooker of
the Grand Trunk railroad. His home is
at Suspension Bridge, N. Y.
Mr.. Tooker is known everywhere as a
man of great energy and push. His adj
vice has always gone long way in rail
road matters, and he is possessed of
those rare qualities which make him
a good friend and advisor in everyday
matters of life.
Several years ago, Mr.. Tooker was a
sufferer from that very common COM
plant, rheumatism, which has been
notably prevalent for the last few years.
As every one knows, it is one of the
most painful of diseases, and until the
recent discovery Prof Phelps of Dart
mouth College, was considered almost
incurable.
Mr.. lockers experience was very
much like that of scores of people in
probably every town large enough to
have drug store.
For two years." said Mr., Tooker,
81 suffered from rheumatism and kidney
trouble, for which | tried various rene
dies with no Success. A clergyman ad-
vised me to try Paine's celery compound.
| did so, and was surprised at the effect.
After taking one bottle was entirely re-
lievcd | have taken two bottles and
am cured.
AS wel-known and conservative
physician in St. Johnsbury has said,
"Pane's celery compound is generally
considered certain specific for the cure
of rheumatism, and so much better re-
suits are obtained from it than from
all the usual remedies that it has become
a regular prescription among the most
eminent practitioners. prescribe it
regularly and believe that every rheu-
matte victim should use it."

often see passengers walking
around the steamer with dirty bits
Of gravel and soap that they would
Tot think OF soilng their gloves to

Never mind ones gloves" they say.
| wonder if the sea gulls with eyes
that see the smallest fish jump from
the water, do not think those people
down there have queer ways. An
other great question is often asked.
1t is this: Which is the easiest way
to reach Florida? After making
nine trips'over the water and try
ing all Zines" | would say: Ger
tainly go by the Clyde steamer from
New York direct to Jacksonville, for
this reason, that the stay OF twelve
or fifteen hours at Charleston in the
middle of the trip gives one chance
to take three good meals and then
he lands directly at Jacksonville,
which is the end Of his journey
If oneg goes by Savannah, at 8 O'Clock
in the morning you are turned out
of your berth and without breakfast
conveyed across town to depot
restaurant, and without any rest be-
tween you are obliged to finish the
Journey with a seven hours ride on
a dusty Southern railway, stopping
at every negro cabin 1t is far
easier to go by Charleston. Forts
Sumter and Moutrie shake hands
with you as the steamer glides into
the harbor, and the city is one of
much interest to visit. We left New
York Wednesday afternoon, reaching
Charleston Saturday morning. Sail
ing from there Saturday afternoon,
our steamer anchored at the ST.
Johns river Sunday morning, waiting
for high tide to take us over the bar.
This was again pleasant part of
our trip. All around was perfectly
smooth water. The gong once
more sent it's measured tones in
every direction and all gathered for
services i'll the upper saloon, led by
the two pastors. At six p. m. may
it not have been the magnetic at
traction of those iron black darby
faces that helped to draw the
Seminole to its dock, and the journey
was over An easy, pleasant trip
Though we anchored in daylight,
Captain Robinson seemed to round
off the kindness of the whole voyage
by inviting all who would like to stay
on board till thencxt morning. About
half accepted the invitation and the
evening passed together was another
pleasure. ANNIE L. GORHAM.
