Milo, the famous athlete Of ancient
Greece, the man who was victor at both
the Olympic and Pythian games for six
different times in succession. and whose
chief claim to fame rests upon the feat
Of running four miles with 9-year-old
OK upon his shoulders, would hide his
head with shame could he visit London
and witness the wonderful feats per-
formed by Sullivan, the modern Samson.
Sullivan is only 81 years OF age and
weighs but 1853 pounds, yet he is phys
ical giant without an equal in the known
world. He regularly goes through a
routine of feats illustrntive of his won
derful strength, the most remarkable be-
ing the actual lifting Of an elephant with
his teeth.
The elephant is not Jumbo, to be
sure; neither is he small, especially when
you come to consider the size of theman
who does the lifting and the usual di-
mensions and strength of human teeth.
The elephant daily and nightly swung
like pendulum from Mr.. Sullivan's teeth
is known as ''the infant" and weighs be-
tween 800 and 1000 pounds. This re-
markable strong man is probably the
only one in the world who lifts more than
1000 pounds with the teeth alone. An
other favorite trick Of his is that of lift
ing barrel of water (566 pounds) with
one finger.-St. Louis Republic.

rreaninr Of the word "Fither. ;.

The legal meaning of the word "either"
has been gravely argued in an English
court of record. A certain testator had
left property, the disposition Of which
was affected by the death of either" Of
two persons. One lawyer insisted that
"either" meant both, and in support OF
his views he quoted Richardson, Web
ster, Chaucer, Dryden, Southey, the
story of the crucifxion and a passage
from Revelation. The judge suggested
that there was song in "yhe Beggar's
Opera" which took another view, ''How
happy could bewith either, were t'other
dear charmer away"
In pronouncing judgment the court
ruled that 'either" meant one of two,
and did not mean both. He said that il
might have that meaning occasionally in
poetry, but never in an English court Of
record.-Exchange.

Two travellers started on tour
With trust and knowledge laden:
One was a man with mighty brain,
And one gentle maiden.
They Joined their hands and vowed to be
Companions for season.
The gentle maiden's name was Faith,
The mighty mans was Reason.
He sought all knowledge from this world,
And every world a-near IL,
All matter and all mind were his,
But hers was only spirit.
If any stars were missed from heaven,
His telescope could find them;
But while he only found the stars
She found the God behind them.
He sought for truth above, below,
All hidden things revealing;
She only sought IL womanwise.
And found Il In her feeling.
He said, "rhis earth's rolling ball"
And so doth science prove Z.
He but discovered that IL MOVIES,
She found the strings that move H.
He reads with geologic eye
The record OF the ages;
Unfolding strata, he translates
Earth's wonder written pages.
He digs around a mountain base
ana measures Win plummett
She leaps IL with a single bound
And stands upon the summit.
he brings to light the secret force
in natures labyrinth lurking
And binds IL TO his onward car
To do his mighty working.
He sends his message DER the earth
And down where sea gems glisten;
She sendeth hers TO Goo. himself,
Who bends his ear to lMten.
All things in science, beauty, art.
In common they inherit;
But he has only clasped the form,
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth to forge key
To ope the gate OF heaveni
That key is In the maiden's heart.
And back its bolts are driven.
They partl Without her oil Is dark,
His knowledge vain and hollow,
For Faith has entered in with God,
Where Reason may not follow.

ProdiraIity Of Life In Ancient Egypt.

The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives Of
the people is perfectly startling. In this
respect, as the monuments yet remain
ing abundantly prove, they stand alone
and without a rival. We may form
some idea Of the almost incredible waste
when we hear that 1000 men were occu-
pied for three years in carrying a single
stone from Elephantine 10 Sais. that the
canal of the Red sea alone cost the lives
Of 10000 Egyptians, and that to build
one Of the pyramids required the labor
of 100000 men for 20 years.-London

A Man who Gould Keep His Temper.

A Man who Could Keep His Temper.
"a man may be pretty smart in great
many things, but it isn't everybody chat
knows how to hold his temper, ," remarked
Clarke Warren Of New Orleans at the
Lindell yesterday. II saw a very odd
case down in Mississippi last week. 1t
was in a railroad restaurant A young
lawyer, mammoth fellow physically,
had some words with a colored waiter.
The negro was very abusive, and at one
stage of the quarrel pulled a gun. We
all thought that that meant death foI
one or the other of them, but no; the
lawyer did not seem bit worried, and
some bystanders took the gun from the
waiter, The latter then followed the
young fellow out to the platform and re-
newed his abuse and demands for salts
faction. The rest Of us were dumfound
cd at the action Of the lawyer He was
evidently no coward, and it was just as
evident that he was more than a match
for the waiter.
FINALLY the negro struck at him,
merely knocking his hat off. Then some
one hustled him away. After he was
gone somebody spoke to the young fell
low about it. and he said it would be
poor policy for him TO disgrace his fam
lily by becoming a murderer, and that il
would be just as disgraceful for him to
engage in a fist fight. Another thing, il
would do that waiter good to be taught
a lesson. and on his return he would
have him arrested and sent to prison for

until 5p. m,
The silver men opened their batteries
in the shape of a bill, offered as a sub
stitute, for the free coinage of silver at
the present ratio. This started the bat
tie. Mr.. Raynor (Md.) was the first
champion sent out by the anti-silver CO.
horts and he fought vigorously and well.
He was reinforced by Mr.. Brown Qnd.),
who, in brief speech, advocated the
repeal of the Sherman act conditionally
or unconditionally.
Mr.. Bland MOI was put forward to
return the fusillade of argument and
eloquence and he performed his part
without detracting from his reputation
as the leader of the silver forces on the
floor. He was followed by the Populist
member from Colorado, who constitu-
ted himself as a bulwark for the pro-
lection of silver, and by Mr.. Wheeler
(Ala.), who demanded greater volume
of currency. The house then adjourned.
The Wilson bill provides that so much
of the act approved July ID, 1890, as
directs the secretary of the treasury to
purchase from time to time silver bull
ion to the aggregate amount of 100000
ounces, OF so much thereof as may be
offered in each month at the market
price thereof, not exceeding 81 for 374 IA
grains of pure silver, and to issue in
payment for such purchase treasury
notes of the United States, be and the
same is hereby repealed. But this re-
peal shall not impair nor in any man
ner affect the legal tender quality of
the standard silver dollars heretofore
coined and the faith and credit of the
United States are hereby pledged to
| maintain the parity of gold and silver
| coin of the United States at the present
legal ratio, or such other ratio as may
be established by law.
The bill introduced by the free silver
| ties reads as follows:
THAT from and after the passage of
this act all holders Of silver bullion To
the amount of 800 or more OF standard
weight and fineness shall be entitled to
have the same coined at the mints of the
United States into silver dollars of the
weight and fineness provided for in sec,

Sec. 2. That the silver dollar provided
| for in this act shall consist of 412 1-s
grains of standard silver, said dollar to
be legal tender for all debts, dues and
demands, both public and private.
Sec. 8. The holder of the silver dol.
lars herein provided for shall be entitled
to deposit the same and receive silver
| certificates in the manner provided by
| law for the standard silver dollar.
"Sec. 4. So much of the act of July
IA, 1890, as requires the monthly pur-
chase of 100000 ounces of silver bull
ion be and the same is hereby repealed. ."

M'KlNLEY GETS A NEW SPEECH,
Louisville Courier-Journal.

A few weeks ago, when Major
Mckinley was renominated for the
Ohio governorship he attributed the
unsettled condition of the country to
the fact that President Cleveland had
not called Congress together to repeal
Republican legislation. Now the major
says that the chief cause of trouble Is
the fear that Republican legislation
will be repealed. This ought to effect
ually explode the old charge that the
major never gets him new speech.

First-God reveals it.
He has taught us in Christ the sublime
truth Of fatherhood. Christ taught his
disciples to pray, "Our Father" He
taught the universal fatherhood Of God
and the universal brotherhood of man.
As this truth takes possession of human
ity 1t becomes more and more impossible
for us to fight one another. When the
day comes that we are Christians, war
must cease-martial war and commercial
war. 1t Is impossible for two brothers
to join as brothers into gouging each
others eyes and destroying each others
lives. The moment they engage In that
pastime the word brotherhood becomes
a negation. They are no longer breth-
rem. When the brotherhood Of man be-
comes living reality, and 1t is becom-
ing 30 every day, we must, from the
very necessities Of the case. cease to fight
oach other.
God reveals 1t to us In Christ. our sar
viour ana teacher and exemplar. He
was the great burden bearer. His disci-
pies told him their sorrows. Their bur-
dens were his burdens. His work was
the ministry Of burden bearing, OF heal
ing, of helping the sick, the lame, the
blind, the leper. the dead. His teachings
bore the same relation to society as his
life. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself." "A new commandment give
unto you, that ye love one another"
mo man liveth to himself or dieth to
himself" "All ye are brethren" "God
hath made of one blood all the nations"

CONVERT TO MORMONiSM.
Operating Elders Capture . Hundred
Young Girls.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 2s.--Sixteen
young girls left Guilford county, North
Carolina, Saturday for Utah, having
been converted to the Mormon faith
by several elders who are now operat-
ing in MOI tn and South Carolina and
Virginia. 1t is stated that in the
neighborhood of 100 girls have been
persuaded to leave their homes by
these men. Some of the citizens of
Cabarrus county this week met three
of the elders and requested them to
cease their missionary work in North
Carolina. They agreed to leave if
it was shown that the citizens
genarally desired them TO do 30.
Yesterday meetings of citizens were
held in the various townships of Cabar-
rus county and resolutions requesting
the mormons to depart were adopted.
Committees were appointed to notify
them, and it is safe to say they will
cave that county, and without stand
ng on the order of their going.
