The HOUSE OF NEVER.

The house Of Never, Is built. they say,
just over the hills of the By-and-Ry.
Its gates are reached by devious way
Hidden from all but an angels eye.
10 winds about and in and out
The hills and dales 10 sever.
Once over the hills Of the By-and-By
And you're lost in the house of Never.
The house of Never Is filed with waits,
With JUSTIN -a-minutes and pretty soOns.
The noise of their wings as.they beat the gates
Comes back 70 earth in the afternoons.
When shadows fly across the sky
And rushes, rude endeavOr,
To question the hills Of the By-and-By
As they ask for she house Of Never
The house of Never was built with tears,
And lost IN the hills Of the By-and-By
Are "a million hopes and "a million fears,
A baby's smile ana a wOman's cry.
The winding way seems bright to-day,
Then darkness falls forever;
For over the hills of the By-and-By
sorrow waits in the house of Never.

THE spectacle Of Sir Charles Russell
taunting Mr.. Carter, the attorney for the
United States before the Behring Sea
Tribunal at Paris, is not agreeable. It
is one Of the logical results of the man
ner in which the Republican Senate and
Blaine dealt with the controversy. Our
argument was founded on forged papers
translated by Blaine Russian for home
consumption in the Republican cam
paigns. The English got hold Of our
translations, detected the forger-
les, and are using the incident
not TO humiliate Blaine, Foster,
Harrison and the Republican Senate,

THE Judicial Committee Of the Presby-
terian General Assembly,at at Washington,
yesterday submitted two reports in the
matter of the repeal in the Briggs case.
Both majority and minority agreed that
the appeal should be heard but they
differed as to the form OF procedure
The papers were presented, but pending
any action on the recommendations of
the committee, the hour of adjournment
had come. The proceedings in this
case are sometimes farcical in their lack
of dignity. They are not governed by
the rules Of a civil court and the church
court invents and nterprets its rules to
suit itself and to fit the crime accord
ing to the will Of the accidental
and sometimes, partisan majority.
Already there is spirit of in.
tolerance, an unwillingness to hear
and weigh all the evidence-petitions
and overtures, In this case, Is evidence
and a aedisposition to treat the case in
the summary and lynch law manner of
Dr. Sunderland who says that Professor
Briggs is guilty OF treason, that he is
responsible for the failure of the Pres
byterian Church to do its proper work.
For these reasons the Judgment Of the
court, If the trial Of DR.. Briggs be not
fairer, less partisan and full Of more
Christian forbearance, will be a FIRE
brand, it will not bring peace, but war,
no matter which way it may be given.

REFERRING to the speculative slump in
the Whiskey Trust stock the financial
reporter for the New York Herald
says:
There is great deal Of humor in this
whole "whiskey" business, but the un-
fortunates who, In spite of all warnings,
put their money into the property are
slow to see it. Mr.. Woolner, Of Peoria,
Is familiar figure In Wall street, and was
distributing "bull tips on the stock last
December when IL was $40 a share, but
the luckless present holders Of Il can't
see the humor Of his bearing it at $40.
Neither do they appreciate the fun of
his statement that because the trust Is
in arrears a few thousands for the rental
of lands he and his friends will quietly
take possession of the distilleries that
stand on the lands and for which struc-
lures the trust paid millions.
There is no more need for wasting
tears over the money that innocent
country lambs" as the sharpers and
swindlers of the Stock Exchange term
them, have lost in whiskey certificates
than for money lost ON lottery certificates.
In sober truth, one set Of certif-
Gates has as much intrinsic value and
represents as much value as the other.
The 'lamb" or the fool, which ever
term he prefers, knows as little about
one as about the other. His intention
to obtain money, without doing any
honest work or making any honorable
effort to get It, is the same in both cases.
Having made fool Of himself and lost
money, he cannot expect that people will
give him the sympathy which wise and
an honest man would get in case of loss,
or that they will refrain from making
sport of him.

The " Herald of Trade on Sacra.
mento's Bid for Factories.

The Sacramento RECORD UNION is
making a strong fight for a movement to
give substantial aid to parties who wish to
build factories in that city. II rightly
contends that few cities are so favorably
situated for the erection and successful
working of factories Stockton, with it's
natural gas, has made considerable pro-
gress in manufacturing enterprises, and
this should be held up as an object lesson,
not only to Sacramento, but to other
places so well situated. Stockton's ma
tural gas is motor power which Is lac
tor of no little importance in the success
full working of manufactures. While
Sacramento cannot boast OF natural gas,
yet the Folsom dam can be utilized TO
generate electricity sufficient to run many
factories, and at a comparatively small
expense. This has been demonstrated
beyond doubt.
With electricity for motor power Sac
ramento is in position to command atten-
ton from those in search of investment
in factories, provides factory sites are not
held too exorbitantly high. We think Sac
ramentans would find it a profitable in
Vestment to donate the sites. The money
invested would return large interests in
the way ofincreased business, higher land
| values and large additions of a class OF
| people which nonors any place. The
water and land facilities enjoyed by Sac
ramento for the moving of goods are a
decided advantage and should count
| largely in its tavor.-Herald of Trade o

The Teeth.

Cleanse the teeth thoroughly at least
twice a day-once on arising and again
before retiring-or better, after each
meal, if it can be so arranged. Use a
good brush, of medium texture. AS a
rule, employ simply water from which
the chill has been taken; but two or three
times a week the assistance of some
| recommended tooth powder is desirable.
Throw away all your wooden toothpicks;
the wood is apt to break OIL between the
teeth. There are. differences in teeth;
some are OF a nature capable of with
standing very rough usage, while others
are frail and need constant attention.
Endure all reasonable pain for a time,
rather than have tooth extracted. one
natural tooth in proper condition, and
| even badly decayed ones may be restored
to that state, is worth dozen artificial
| substitutes.
