A Minister'S Experience.

Probably no one has better opportunities
for observing the, peculiarities of those
around him than fell to the lot of a clergy
man. The following anecdotes were told
by pastor who for many years labored
successfully in Maine
One very stormy afternoon just as he had
reached his finally" in tomorrow's ser
mon, he was startled by, a loud ring at the
doorbell. Upon opening the door there
stood young man and young woman,
and the parson saw marriage ceremony in
perspective.
For some little time the mills in the place
had been filling small orders, and on this
day the largest of the mills was shut down.
Well, after discussing the weather and 9TH
er similarly original subjects the young
man said in a confused way, ''Ye see, par
son, the mills shet down, and Cynthy and
I didn't have nothin to do in pertikerler,
and SO we thought we'd be hitchedp'
The other was Of a different nature While
walking in the street he was buttonholed
by a stranger, who said excitedly, "Are you
Minister"
Eyes. sir. What can do for youpn
well, my wife's jest dead, and I'VE got
to have somebody attend her funeral and

THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The Mayor Makes Answer to the Argus's
Charges.

A reporter saw Mayor Baxter yesterday
and asked him if there were any grounds
for the recent statement of the Argus
that the appropriations are nearly all
expended.
The Mayor said the city has been sub
Iect to many unlocked for expenses
during the past year and of course a few
of our appropriations are somewhat low.
"For instance, said the Mayor, the
appropriation for printing is exhausted.
Perhaps the Argus does not require an
examination of our expenses in this mat
ter, but for the benefit of those who are
not informed on the subject it might be
well to state that we were obliged to
have doubly heavy printing bill this
spring because of the two elections Of
course the Argus does not find fault with
the expenditure as it we'll knows why
it was made.
"Then the new boilers had to be placed
in the City hall and this was advised by
the Democratic board of aldermen The
only other appropriation that is at all
low is the small one for stationery and
this always gives out at this time of
year. The heaviest expenses of the year
are those ON streets and these have all
been paid so that at the present time
although the year is not ended the
biggest expenses have all been metz

Earthquakes.

Shocks of severe earthquakes appear in
some cases to be transmitted completely
around the globe.
A remarkable example of this occurred
on July rs, 1889. and has only recently been
brought to light. While examining the
record of pendulum experiments at Pots
dam, Herr Paschuitz happened to consult
a volume of the publications of the Seismo-
logical Society of Japan, an association for
the study of earthquakes, and was sur
prised to find that a severe earthquake
which had occurred at Kumamato on the
date above rnephiIyned Tnincided in time,
allowance being hsadsI P6 transmission Of
the shock, with double perturbation
which had been noticed by the pendulum
experimenters at Potsdam and Wilhelms1
haven.
& The explanation of the double perturba,
ton recorded in Germany is not the least
interesting part of the story. 1t was in
terpreted to mean that the shock in Japan
ran both ways round the globe, and as the
perturbation which travelled westward had
a shorter distance to lit arrived at Pots
dam about hours and SO minutes sooner
than did the perturbation which ran round
the shell of the earth eastward.
The distance along great circle of the
globe from Kumamato to Potsdam, reck-
oning toward the west, is about $500 miles,
while the distance along the same great
circle reckoned the other way round is 49,
500 miles. The average velocity with which
the shock Travelled in the earth was about
1857 feet in a second This agrees very well
with the velocity observed in some other
similar ses.-Youth's Companion.

A FIREMAN'S STORY.
This One Is Of Strong and Peculiar
Interest.
FROM A LIFE OF SEVERE EXPO
SURES AND HARDSHIPS.
The Entire Buffalo IN. W Fire EDepart-
ment Knows This to be True.

Firemen can tell exciting and thrilling
experiences
Theirs is life of the severest exposures
and hardships. They are the bravest men
in the world and their word is of the
greatest weight
Here is an experience which is certainly
interesting and may be valuable. 1t is
told by George B. Maxon, Of 81 Franklin
Street, Buffalo, Ny, who has been a
prominent member of the Buffalo fire de-
partment and who is well and favorably
known in that city.
Il was member. of Engine Co. No. 1
OF the Buffalo Fire Department" he said,
land was laid up with rheumatism,
from which suffered severely. / con-
suited doctors, but they did ME no good.
| tried everything that was recommended
by my fellow associates, and trying all
the different remedies recommended to
me, was discouraged until 1 saw DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy advertised in one of the daily papers.
| made up my mind to try just one
bottle of this medicine, at first not hav-
ing any more hope that it would help me
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-10-28

than some of the others I had been try
ing. Il took it, as the directions told me,
and before / had taken the contents of
-one bottle felt a change for the better
Eai"I took four bottles and it completely
cured me, and that is nearly four years
ago and have never been bothered with
it since.
Il thank DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy for this, and nothing
else, cured me. Before using it did not
know what sleep was for over two
months. I heartily recommend this
great medicine to all who are suffering
with rheumatism or neuralgia
AS the above proves, DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy is an abso-
lutely sure cure for rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, and it will always and quickly
cure headaches, backache, or any of the
aches and, pains SO prevalent at this
season of the year. You have only to
use the remedy to be sure of it's beneficial
effects. 1t is purely vegeta BILE and harm
less and is sold by druggists for 81.
Doctors recommend it for it is the dis
covery and prescription of physician,
DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, the most successful specialist in
curing all forms of nervous and chronic
diseases. The doctor can be consulted
free, personally or by letter.
