leo Water Early In the Morning.


lam always surprised when see
a man fill his stomach the first thing
in the morning with a glass Of ice
water. The ordinary stomach is tired
anyhow, and when, yawning, istless,
it wakes with the rest of the system,
it feels like stretching and resting,
folding it's hands for little more
sleep and little more slumber, Just
the same as the rest of us feel. What,
then, must be it's surprise to have
thrust into it, through no agency of
it's own, it the unwilling receptacle,
a torrent of it's deadliest enemy, ice
water2 Having swallowed a glass of
ice water, the ordinary idiot thrusts
into the same stomach his oatmeal,
his berries, his beefsteak and his DO
tatoes and his hot roll and then Won
ders that he feels heavy.
Why, do you know what the stom.
ach is doing all this time2 It is
wrestling with that ice water. Di-
gestion cannot begin until the water
is brought to it's normal stomach
temperature, and while the overbur-
dened, overworked, strained organ is
doing its best to warm this hor1id
stuff in it float your steak, your ber-
ries and your oatmeal, and there they
must float until the gastric juice and
the water are at a common tempera-
ture and the work of assimilation
may properly begin.-Howard in

A Fable That Teaches = Nor ~. (

n
Here is 6 fable concerning a certain
island infested by donkeys whose
continuous braying disturbed the
peace:. #s T.,
A valiant knight who heard 81
them said to his fellows: Come. Let
us away and STAY these pestiferous
braying donkeys SO that the island
may have rest" So each brave man
buckled on his trusty sword. and
away they went. When they landed
on the island, they were met by one
of it's wise men, who, on learning
the intention of the knight, warned
him that the donkeys were immor-
tai and could not be killed. WHAT
said the knight. do you tell me
that and my brave men cannots 81
lence these donkeys9"
Forthwith the knight and his men
laid about them right and left till
the ground was covered with defunct
donkeys. Then they wiped their
blades and retired to rest. In the
morning the knight sounded his bu-
gle horn and said, Let us bury those
carcasses, or thelast plaguemay prove
worse than the first" But when they
reached the field, behold! every
donkey was on his feet, braying loud
ly as ever. What did tell you2"
said the wise man. If you kill them
today, they will be alive tomorrow.
But, replied the knight, "how>do
you live in their continual brayingG"
why, we let them bray and go
ahead with our business or pleasure,
the same as if they were not there"

Worshipers Of Strange Gods.

Snake worshipers are more nu-
merous than river worshipers in the
Punjab. They have always been a
large denomination in heather coun-
tries. Why they worship snakes is a
problem that has been frequently
discussed to no particular purpose.
But people who worship owls, bats,
Holsters, rats and mice will worship
anything, and perhaps snake wor-
shippers are so common merely be-
cause snakes are so widely distributed
and so far from exclusive in their
habits. If a man worships an opos-
sum or an olnithornycus, he must go
to Australia to do So but serpents are
everywhere. So is the earth (PrithD,
and the earth, as Hertha, Demeter
and under many other names, has
never wanted adorers. r
Even the untutored Pawnees are
earth worshipers and bury articles
by way of sacrifice, which is more
economical than burning them, as
they can be dug up again. The an
cestral mound is good deal adored
in the Punjab. In Scotland it be-
came the fairy hill, as at Aberfoyle,
and was treated with conspicuous re-
spect in times comparatively modern.
The church was usually built as near
it as possible, perhaps to counterfeit
the influence of the ancestral mound,
or to acquire any local sacredness
that might be going.-London News

Colonies for the Southern States.

New YORK June lit transpired that Alex
ander Russell Webb, the United States con-
sui who four years ago EN- braced the religion
of Mohammed and who represents the Mo-
hammedans in the United States, has re-
turned to this country for other reasons than
those he has already stated.
Mr.. Webb states that a large numoer of
Mohammedans are planning to emigrate
from India to the United States and that
that they will probably form colonies in
several of the southern states. For some
weeks Mr.. Webb has been in communication
with large property holders in the south, no
tably in Georgia and Florida.
He declares that the act is under the au-
thority of many of the most prominent and
wealthy Mohammedans in India in obtain
ing prices on large tracts of southern land.
He has secured figures on large strips of
land, and has already reported these prices
to syndicate of Mohammedans, who are,
from religious and financial motives, inter-
ested in the movement.
Mr.. Webb has no doubt that the colonies
will be established.

The Treasury,

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 31.-Since Janu-
airy /, $4,000, 600 of gold has been exported
to Europe and seems to have received q
fresh impetus. In that time the treasury
has sustained net loss of $25, 354, 234. Since
the first of May gold has been nearly always
below the limit of the reserve of 500, 0OO,-
600. 1t is invaded to an extent more
than 81, Ooo, 900, and advices received from
New York show that with gold engaged for
shipment the total net gold remaining in
the treasury will be about 5000, 900, the
lowest figure reached since the resumption
of specie payments. In addition to this
large engagement there are reports current
here, from sources usually we'll founded,
that more gold will 60 out this week. This
is sufficient, it is said, to reduce gold hold
ings to 100000. Despite these heavy
shipments the treasury officials express the
greatest confidence in the ability of the
treasury TO restore the gold balance. They
point to the fact that there Is a gradual and
healthy inflow Of gold from natural causes
to the treasury, which is only temporarily
checked by the large amounts taken for ex-
port,

Caroline Island Missionaries.

CARTHAGE, ILL, June miss Jennie
Fletcher, who has been a missionary among
the natives of the Ponape islands for years,
and who was almost hereft of reason few
months ago by the horrible atrocities perpe-
trated upon her pupils and the natives gen.
orally by the Spaniards, has arrived at her
home here.
She is in such improved health as to be
able to give detailed account of the out
rage perpetrated. The death of Rev. Doane
on account of which Spain and this govern
ment have had some correspondence, was
the result as alleged of the abuse of Spanish
soldiers and ignorant priests who took charge
of the Caroline islands several years ago, Or
ganizing a reign Of terror and oppression.
Churches and school houses built by mis-
sionaries were ruthlessly destroyed. Frank
Band and wife, of this place, are also mis-
sionaries to Ponape and are still in the Car
oline islands. At one period of the assaults
upon the American missionary, MIR. Band
went TO Boston to lay the matter before the
American board of missions. Miss Fletcher
has been three months on the return journey.

Disheartening Conditions.

NEW YORK, June 5.-R. G. Dun & Co. 3
weekly review of trade Is as follows:
More disheartening conditions prevailed
during the past week, and those who saw
the beginning of permanent recovery in a
better tone a week ago are disappointed.
The money market has been closer, espe-
cially in the interior, and manufacturing
and trade are more restricted than before.
Gold has gone out again, exports of the
week being about S., 600. 600 and the treasury
gold reserve has been drawn down to about
100000 In nearly all departments of
trade uncertainty about the future has a
depressing influence which is now clearly
perceived in the decrease of new business,
and while most manufacturing works are
now employed on full orders, as these run
out the number of works closed IS increased.
Merchants are IN trouble with clothiers,
who throw back goods ordered apparently
to get them at lower prices, and little is do
ing in spring goods. Exports of products
still fall below last years value and there is
country on foreign account. The fact that
Sc, 900 of such loans mature within
the next week, leads TO the expectation of
further exports of gold.
The failures were 238 in the United States
against 175 last year, and 81 in Canada
against 80 last year; but two United States
failures were for more than 81 600, 600 each
four others of the firms rated at over $780,
GOO each and forty more of the firms were
rated at over SIS, 900 each. Last weeks fail
ures were 273

AllLeayenworth MINERS Idle.

President Walters, of the miners union,
held a secret meeting with the miners at
Brighton and as a result they struck as a
body.
All Leavenworth mines are closed and
there is now about 900 miners and laborers
In this neighborhood on sympathetic STRIKE
1t is SAID that the local miners expect S. a
week from the national miners organiza-
ton. At the request of the miners six dep
uty sheriffs. selected from among the strik-
ers, were appointed to guard each mine.
The mine owners have ordered the strik-
ers to remove their tools from the mines
at once, and say they will not pay the
amounts due them until 1t is done. The
miners are very aggressive and they will try
and make things very unpleasant for any
persons attempting to take their places.
The strikers feel they have the support of
Governor Lewelling and the state officials
and they are expecting much from it. They
say Governor Lewelling is to make arrange
ments for closing the state mine. A pro-
vision in the state mining law requiring
safety catches for shafts, which it seems the
pennitentiary has not got, is to be resorted
to to close the mine. State Mine Inspector
Gallagher while here, it Is said, notified the
penitentiary officials to put in the catches
at once. This could be done in few days,
with scarcely any loss of time to the mine,
but under the circumstances it is expected to
take from two weeks to three months.

Argument Opened.

An immense crowd of spectators gathered
in the United States court of appeals in Chi
cago to listen to the argument in the iniunc-
ton suit brought by the United States gov.
eminent to restrain the opening of the fair
on Sunday.
Judges Wood, Jenkins and Grosscup were
on the bench. 1t was announced that Chief
Justice Fuller, of the United States supreme
court, could not attend on account of the
illness of his daughter, and that he would
not be in attendance for some days. There
was formidable array of legal talent on
both sides. Lawyer J. Mckenzie, represent
ing the firm of Wanamaker and Brown, at
tempted to intervene in the case, but was
ruled out by Judge Woods. District Attor-
ney Milchrist then began his argument
against Sunday opening.

Union Seminary Can't Afrord 1t

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 6.-Presbyteri-
ans and many who are not Presbyterians
are discussing the probable result of the de-
cision in the Briggs case. 1t is clear that
this decision has divided the members of
the church into two classes. The supporters
of DR.. Briggs are very emphatic in their de-
clarations that their leader will never recant
and that 1t was an insult to ask him to do
so, and that the verdict of the assembly 10
equivalent to expulsion fromIthe church.
They take the ground, however, that the
action of the assembly will increase the num-
Der of the supporters of the views of DR..
Briggs inside the church, and that it is by no
means improbable that at the next general
assembly they will be in the majority
1t is stated by the friends of DR.. Briggs to
be certain that the action of the assembly
will have no effect upon the Union Theolog-
ical seminary.
1t is stated that the chair which DR.. Briggs
holds is endowed for $250.0OO upon peculiar
conditions. The endowment was made by
will the specific terms of which are that
the chair is to be occupied by DR.. Briggs
during his life. If for any cause he should
be Invested of the professorship while living,
the endowment shall revert to the estate of the
donor. This places the chair and the living
of DR.. Briggs entirely independent of the
Presbyterian assembly and will enable him
to continue his teachings SO long as the
trustees of Union Theological seminary
will premit him to do so.
DR. Briggs friends assert that he was as
sured of the continuing support of Union
Theological seminary management before
the trail began. There are many persons
inside the church who look upon the situa-
ton with great gravity.

Loss by Flood and Fire.

Omaha received dual visitation from the
elements. All day the rain had fallen inter
mittently, the storm blowing from the
southeast. Shortly before o'clock p. m.
the wind chopped about to north and in a
few moments the city was submerged by one
of the most disastrous floods ever expert
enced. The rain was accompanied by q
heavy electrical display and a high wind.
And in the midst of the flood came fire
that entailed a loss of nearly quarter of
million, with the additional horror of four
deaths and many injured. They were all of
them fremen.
West of the Shiverick building was a two
story structure occupied by Ed Maurer's sa-
loon and restaurant. On the top of this
building six firemeL had gathered that they
might better fight the flames. While they
were there the west wall of the building fell
forward. Two saw the impending danger
and escaped. The falling walls crushed the
two-story building like an egg shell and the
other four fremen on the roof were carried
down to an awful death.
The Shiverick building is a complete wreck.
The loss to the building and stock will reach
100000; fully insured. Maurer's loss on
the building and stock will be SIS, GOO; also
isured.
The damage from the storm is distributed
all over the city, and while not great in
single instance, will amount to many thou
sands in the aggregate.

0bserved in Laval States.

Everywhere in the states which furnished
Che soldiers who responded to their coun-
try's call May 30 was observed. As years 60
by this day is more and moro generally eel
ebrated, and this year is not an exception.
There were memorial gatherings and cere-
monies and decorations of graves in more
places, and participated in by more people,
than in any year since the day was made q
national holiday.
In large towns the custom has become
quite general for the actual decoration of
graves to be done by special committees
early in the day; the cemeteries being filled
with people. who visit them in groups and
parties, during the entire day. Meantime
memorial services are held in as many places
as will best serve the populsce, giving all
opportunity to attend where crowds will not
be too largo, or the place too far.
Parades continue a very general custom
and they seem to get larger aad more elabo-
rate every year. In smaller places they
march to the cemeteries, while in the larger
places the parade is soon formed and soon
over; the crowds scattering to the local me-
mortal service previously chosen by each
group.
Patriotic talks by citizens, generally veter-
ans, are numerous everywhere, and original
poems are read and thus is the memory of
the dead patriots maze sacred, the hearts Of
their living comrades made warm by the
grateful membranes of all and best of
all, the young are impressed with their duty
to their country.

InsDiration of the Bible.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 1.-The COM
mittee of the Presbyterian general assent bly,
on bills and overtures made report on one
point as follows;
In answer to the overtures from the pres
byteries of Newark and st. Louis, and the
memorial of a large mum ber-more than 300
of the elders, deacons and members of the
Presbyterian church, with reference to the
deliverance of the Portland assembly on the
inspiration OF holy scripture, we would rec
ommend the following:
This general assembly reaffirms the over
ture of the deliverance of the assembly of
1892 touching the inspiration of holy scrip
ture, viz: that the original scriptures of tho
Old and Now TestRmentg being Immediately
inspired of God, were without error; and in
so doing, declares that the said deliverance
enuuciates no new doctrine and imposes no
new tests of orthodoxy, but interprets and
gives expression to what has always been the
belief of the church taught IN the Westmin-
ster confession of faith.
