RIO Is AFFLICTED.
An Enemy More Dreaded than
the Rebel Fleet Has At
tackled It.
TSrrible Yellow Fever Rages-(:reat Nor
tality Will Certainly he In
evitabIe,

BuENos AyREs, Dec. 29.-very little
has been heard from Rio de Janeiro. It
is announced that the unfortunate CITY,
which has for moLths been suffering
from the ravages OF war, is now a victim
OF the ravages of the worst and most
dreaded OF diseases-yellow feyer-and
hve deaths from the disease are already
reported. The news that yellow fever
has added its burden and horrors to the
sufferings already endured by the people
OF Rio has caused wide spread attention
here, and much sympathy is expressed
for the plague and war stricken inhab
ltants. 1t is added, however. that the
government is taking every precaution
possible under the circumstances to pre-
vent spread of the disease. but the
work OF the officials at Rio de Janeiro is
greatly hampered by the condition to
which the city has been reduced by the
horrors of war.
N1RtLEST AND DEADLY,
1t is added that yellow fever which
has broken out in Rio is not the mild
form of that disease. but is the worst
form of black vomit.

RAISING WILLOW FOR THE MARKET

! A Crop Which Need, Harvesting but Once
Every -Four Years.
In a beautiful sweep of lowland north
| of Melvale station on the Norther.
Central railroad and about nine miles
from Baltimore there is a peculiar farm.
1t is peculiar in that it renders to its
owner and tiller but one crop in four
years, and that "A crop of willow shoots.
The farmer, Antoine Spath. came from
frankfort, Germany, MANY years ago,
and after erecting himself comforta-
BILE stone house. which still stands in
the midst of picturesque clump of
willows. at the end of the little valley.
set about planting his first crop of will
low shoots. Every year since he has
gone on planting row after row until
the valley has become covered with
them. Spath had learned the art of
weaving willow ware in his boyhood
days by the shores of the Main river.
and as fast as his little plantation grew
he gathered the shoots, stripped them
of their green covering. and after dry
ing them wove baskets of every con.
ceiyable form and Size
1T seems rather peculiar work in
this country said the willow farmer.
speaking OF his business, but in all
parts of Europe, especially in the Ger
man provinces, it is very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow weavers, for there willow is
used in many forms and for a greater
number of purposes than l find it used
in this country. In Germany and
France willow is employed in making at
least 20 different kinds of bird cages,
while in America metal is used-brass
or iron wire-and different woods.
Among the best families in European
countries cradles, woven by German
workers, may be found constructed en-
tirely of willow. Then there are a
hundred and one shapes of marketing
baskets. baskets used by milliners and
laundresses, baskets and panniers to be
carried upon the backs of man and
beasts for holding fish and fowl. In
the willow for the weaver
We plant the slips in long rows paral.
lei with running stream of water and
cut them when they have attained four
years of growth. The cutting time is
early in the spring before the sap is !
done running. and after tying them in
bundles they are placed in ponds of
water to keep them in green state un-
til ready for stripping. Stripping the
willow is accomplished by drawing the
switches through and between two
heavy iron stanchions. whose edges peel
the light green bark from the white
heart, and then, after drying or curing
them upon long racks, we have got the
willow in form for the weaver. II
was many years after l planted this
arm with willows before any one
thought of initiating my example, but
low there are several other plantations
ocated upon the Washington and An
lapolis roads. and though You may find
luite as busy scenes there you will
carcely find moro picturesque place
han this anywhere. and that was one
4 the reasons that led me to settle
ere. Baltimore American.

Runaway Accident.

Just as the procession was forming
to leave the G. A. r. hall pair of run
aways, one a single horse minus accou-
trements, the other team attached to
an empty wagon come tearing across
the bridge and ran into the crowd that
blockaded the street, severiy iniuring
one lady and frightening the large
crowd that were closely massed on the
street. 1t is a wonder that there were
not more hurt, and little less than a
miracle that the two children who were
run down on the bridge were not killed
outright
Messrs. Alfred and Edmund Rossier
were run into just as the team reached
the western end of the bridge but they
had had time to alight and get partially
out Of the way and escaped unhurt. A
little further along on the bridge the
team ran down carriage in which were
the two little sons of Messrs. Tom and
Larry Nash. The little fellows made a
brave effort to get out of harms way
bic their horse broke loose from the
buggy and joined the runaway team.
The boys miraculously escaped injury.
Reaching the Grand Rapids side of the
river the team and horse now thorough
ly frightened dashed up main street
where just in front of Eoss' drug store
they run into carriage in which were
Mrs. Geo. Shorey with two small child
rem, and invalid sister Mrs Margesan
of Centralia. As the runaways ap-
preached Mrs. Margess n became frantic
with fear and jumped from the carriage
and tried to take the children out. She
did not succeed but shut off the only
chance Of safety to the other occupants
of the carriage. In the confusion of
the collision she was knocked down by
the runaways and the carriage broken
and overturned bruising though not
seriously injuring Mrs. Shorey and the
little ones.
Mrs. Margesan is in a delicate state
of health and it is feared the unfortu-
nate occurrence NAV prove serious.
DR.. Wittter conveyed the injured
lady to the home of Mrs. Shorey and
Mustered unto her reeds doing all
that skill and physicians timely care
could, but the nervous shock, and
effects of the fall are still matters of
grave apprehension.
We hope in our next issue to report
her as on the fair way to recovery.

he became widely known throughout
the state, by the interest manifested in
the State Teachers Association, the
efficient work which he reformed in
the capacity of conductor of institutes,
and in the diligent sympathy he has
shown in aiding and encouraging the
younger members of the teaching pro-
fession.
In July 1889, the Board of Regents of
Normal Schools unanimously elected
Professor Emery to the presidency of
the State Normal School at River Falls,
Wis. His incumbency has already
given evidence that the appointment
was wise and in the interest of progress.
The attendance has rapidly increased;

NEW COFFEE.

During the present week the people
Of this city will be furnished samples of
Rahr's Caramel Malt Coffee, which has
been SO successfully introduced in many
cities of Wisconsin The coffee, as its
name implies, is manufactured from
malt. During the process, which is
patented, tie malt is caramelized, and
a product is obtained closely resemb-
ling coffee in taste, but which retains
all the nourishing and health-giving
qualities Of malt extract. The use of
malt coffee diminishes the injurious
effects of cofeins and makes it possible
for all to enjoy delicious and exhile-
rating beverage. For nervously in
cined persons and children the infu-
sion made from the pure caramel malt
coffee has no superior.
When the great harm that the free
use of coffee causes is considered, it
must be admitted that the manufac-
turers of the caramel malt coffee de-
serve the applause of everyone. They
have discovered a valuable thing for
themselves but is no less valuable for
humanity. In a short time every
family in Grand Rapids will be using it.
The laborer will drink it because it is
cheap and good, and the braln-worker
because it exhilerates without weaken
ing and undermining the system.
If you want to test the exhilerating
and life-giving qualities of pure malt
extract try Rahr,s Caramel Malt Coffee
according to direction You will notice
its remarkably health-giving and bene-
fetal effects after using it only a short
time, and will prefer It to the finest
Mocha or Java coffee. In Rahr's Cara
mel Malt Coffee we have malt in its
purest, most compatible and assInile
form. We predict q great and well-de-
served success for the coffee.

Who is Responsible.

An episode that reminds one of the
primative times of persecution and
bigotry took place in fashionable
church, in our Nations capitol, few
days since.
After an eloquent sermon on broad
lines, advocating peace and harmony as
essential elements in christian culture,
church growth and fellowship, by a
visiting divine, the pastor of the church
cast bomb, by asserting that DR..
Briggs was the cause of all the dissen-
sions and differences that were convuls-
ing the church.
When will people be willing to put
aside personal prejudice or animosity
and acknowledge that principles, not
persons, create great revolutions in
thought and government. Not to Wes-
ley, but to the methods and ideas that
had gained firm hold on the public
mind, belongs the inception of the
church that towers so high to-day; not
Luther, but truth and justice gave re-
|
nor Christian Attucks, not Toussiant
nor William Tell, not Brittian, Roman,
Gaul or Anglo Saxon made human
slavery horror of degradation and a
thing of the past in America. Not
Francis Willard, or Lady Summersett
| or Helen Foster made such a thing as
the international w. c. [. L. possible,
nor none of these could create dissen-
ton III their ranks. Not to Washington
or Layfayette or the American people,
as people, is due the uprising and
| heroic achievements Of a nation that
| stands second to none on the earth. No
one man is, or ever can be responsible
| for warfare, isms or ideas that revolu-
| tionize the world. Granted that there
are leaders who sway mlltitudes, and
dominate nations, but il they help to
bring irrepressible effects about, it
is through the influence of the idea that
attains, and that is beyond the power of
man to prevent. If one expounder OF
the faith die, or is ignominiously beaten,
a greater will take his place, and though
it take thousand years the seed OF
divine right, sown in the hearts of man
by an evolution of thought and human
progress, will grow and bear fruit.
''Truth crushed to earth will rise again.
The eternal years of God are hers while
error wounded writhes in pain and dies
| amid ifS w0rSbi narS };
If the teachings of DR.. Briggs are false
they cannot prevail. If right, all the
persecution-even the death Of Dr.
Briggs-all insistance and condemnation
of centuries cannot evade it. Ideas
prevail and the expounders are but as
notes in the sunbeams of truth they
NAV rise or fall, talk or be silent, the
great voice of justice, humanity and
right will find a mouthpiece.
