1893.


The spread of great thoughts
and works in the past year is
equal almost to the changes of
past centuries. The Columbian
year has inaugurated a new era
in the worlds history. Men are
striving for the highest and the
best in every walk of life. Those
who are welded to custom and
habit or their own infallible
views, are living in dread of a
great smash-up in general, but
they are doomed to die broken
hearted and disappointed, now
UNDECIDED, soon unknown and
forgotten. The world has never
learned so much from the past
and profited as much from ex-
perience as at present. Every
body is now for himself and God
for us all not your God or my
God,-this school of theology or
that, this sect or that, but the
God of creation, redemption and
eternal salvation. When men
killed the heretics and infidels
they but multiplied them. To-
day they have the same rights as
any one else and are unknown if
unmolested. Another century
may accept them in christian
communion as believers in some
Great and Unseen and Unknown
Being. No man was more abus-
ed, denounced and soul-tortured
than Thomas Paine a century
ago. Read his works now and
look around the world. He OPP
posed slavery; it is gone. He OPP
posed dueling,-it is out of fash
ion now, He was opposed to
cruelty to animals, now legislat-
ed against. He was in favor of
the rights of woman look where
she is now, almost in the U. S.
Senate. He favored the union of
the colonies when Washington
was the ally of England. Look
at Hail Columbia Happy Land
now. He wrote the bill abolish
ing slavery in Penna. in 1879
worked for Independence secur-
ed aid for the struggling colo
MES from France, and fought
land nearly lost his life for the
same liberty in France that Pope
Leo XIII is now supporting
the will and rule of the people
But he antagonized established
interests and institutions; he
was undermining the power,
wealth, dictatorship of the few,
and had to be branded as trait,
or, outlaw, hereto, infidel, lost
forever. Did he live to-day he
would be striking out with the
great men of every nation for
more development, more liberty
more and greater and higher
humanity and civilization. Put
your trust in the Lord from 1898
and be surprised and afraid of
no popular changes. What shall
live shall live. Opposition has
always persisted and always will.
Customs, opinions and the insti-
buttons of men are constantly
changing. Faith, principle, hon.
esty and truth, and charity, -
NEVER.

APPENDICITIS is POPULAR.
Nature OF tho Disease That OF Late Has
Become Almost Fashionable.


Become Almost Fashionable.
Not many years ago, q tolerably COM
mon report Of the cause Of death was
inflammation of the bowels. It was q
pretty general term and has since been
little heard of as different forms Of
Inflammation in the abdominal cavity
have become better known.
The most startling Of all this is ap-
pendicitis, Inflammation Of the vermi-
form appendix, useless and dangerous
closed pouch which projects from the
c@cum. Almost concurrently with the
enormous advance in surgery, which
makes opening the abdomen reasonably
safe instead Of almost certainly fatal,
there has been an enormous increase
in the number of cases of this disease
reported by physicians. The disease has
acquired an interest that it could not
have while it was almost impossible
to treat it successfully. While only q
limited range of treatment was open
for any abdominal inflammation it
made little difference just where OF
what the lesion was now there are every
reason to decide promptly and accu-
rately and good hope Of surgical cure
in this and some other affections Of the
lower viscera.
At the same time, it is evident that
much remains to be learned as to this
particular affection. Until recently it
was usually supposed to proceed from
mechanical irritation Of some indiges-
tible substance which became fastened
in this slender blind passage. Now there
is a germ theory for it, which gets
some support from the fact that occa-
sionally in true case of appendicitis
no foreign substance is found in the ap-
pendix. In the great majority Of cases,
however, a solid substance is found,
sometimes under circumstances which
make it impossible to doubt that it fur
nished the starting point for the attack.
There seems also to be distinct diff
ference of opinion among physicians as
to the length Of time a case may con-
tinue. Some say, or at least imply, that
a mild irritation may exist for weeks
or months, while others consider that
the acute and brief stage is the only
one which deserves to be known under
the title of appendicitis. Hartford

The Reward of a Bridge Builder.

1t has frequently been observed that
public benefactors often have no other
reward than the consciousness of their
good deeds. The inhabitants of the lit
tie town of Loschwitz, near Dresden,
are determined that no reproach shall
be leveled against them in matter of
this kind. Their burgomaster is q
worthy man who has ruled over them
with signal ability, and who, in partic-
ular, has succeeded, during his tenure
of office, in constructing bridge over
the Elbe at II place where several pre-
vious attempts to do SO had failed.
The communal council have assem-
bled in solemn deliberation to consider
what reward to offer to their distin-
guished fellow citizen, and the upshot is
that he has been officially informed
that, in recognition Of his services, he
will be permitted to cross the bridge as
often as he likes without paying the
halfpenny toll. London Daily News.

What No Was.

Eight little negro boys got on Niagara
street car at the corner Of Vermont street
about 7:30 o'clock last night. They had been
out to st. Mary's to rehearse something or
other (they were choir boys), and they were
then on their way to ST. Paul's The wo.
men in the car talked to them and asked
them all sorts Of questions. They all talked
willingly, except one little fellow, who was
as black as coal and who seemed to be the
butt OF the other seven.

men.

same time.

and each boy told what kind of bird he

BOxwood.

Among large class Of craftsmen the
wish has long been entertained for the
discovery of n hard, compact and even
grained wood, having all the charac-
teristics of lockwood and for which it
would form an efficient substitute. For
many years past the gradual dimin-
utiOn i'll the supplies of lockwood and the
deterioration in its quality have proved
serious facts in more than one occupa-
ton, including engravers, hardwood
dealers, etc, especially the former, on
account of the higher price asked for
tho material and the difficulty Of Sc
curing it of the needed size and firlnness
OF texture SO as to insure the artistic
excellence of the engraving.
While by far the most important use
of this wood is for the engraver's art,
it is also applied to numerous other
purposes, such, for instance, as weav-
ing shuttles, mathematical instruments
turnery uses, carving, cabinet work,
etc. The fact is interesting as we'll as
important that lockwood is the nearest
approach to ivory of any wood known
and will therefore probably increase
gradually in value rs it becomes scarcer.
Small wood, under four inches, is used
considerably by flax spinners for rollers
and by turner's for various purposes,
rollers for rink skates, etc., and if free
from splits is of equal value with the
larger wood.-New York Sun.

REPRESENTATIVE CHAMBERLAIN has
introduced bill which deserves q
place on the statute books of the state.
Almost every deed to farms aud town
lots contains clause reserving the
mineral rights IN the land. This res
ervation constitutes form of proper
ty which may be made the subject OF
taxation. Mr.. Chamberlain bill is
desi sned to make this form OF property
pay its just proportion Of the public
burden, and il it becomes law such
reservations, whether mineral is known
to exist upon the land or not, will be
placed upon the assessment roll. The
bill should go step further and in
clude timber lands and require the
assessment OF timber un land
separately where the timber is owned
by one individual, firm or corporation
and the land by another.
