A Million DdIars Float OFF.

Williamsrort, Pa, May 2O.-This city
is passing through state Of. food excite
ment unequalled since the memorable
June in 1889, when the river reached the
unprecedented height of SO 1-2 feet and
inundated two-thirds of the city. For
4S hours past the ram has been falling
heavily throughout the west branch Of
the water shed, and tonight the river is
rs feet high and rising rapidly. Those in
prospectiveS danger spent the day in re-
moving their effects to places of safety.
At a. M, the crest boom, with one
million dollars worth of lumber gave
way.

Huntington, Pa, May 0.-Today's
G reat food has been exceeded only once
in the history of the Juniata valley The
last four days the rain fall has raised the
Juniata river and the Kaystown branch
is 81 feet above low water mark, entail
ing great destruction Of property. The
waters have flooded the lower streets
here, driving people from their homes,
and in the lower farming districts
whole families are imprisoned in their
houses. Mrs. Jacob Miller was
drowned at Saxton while trying to save
property.
Caused by Cloudburst.
Dunklrk, N. Y, May 20-A cloud
burst southwest ofthis city at noon to-

thousands of dollars.

A standard Bearer.

In the crusade inaugurated nearly half
a century ago against the professional
ignorance of the old school of medicine,
Hostetters Stomach Bitter was a standard
bearer. Its victories over disease, when
the old time specifics proved abject
failures, proved that the -philoso-
ply which sanctioned the administration
of violent remedies where the case re-
quired none, which laid down as un-
alterable rules blood letting, violent pur-
CATION, the use of emetics and the employ
ment of corrosive and cumulative poisons
in simple cases of liver and malarial
complaint, was in fact the worst of I'M
philosophy, contrary alike to the laws of
true medicinal science, of hygiene and of
common sense. Biliousness, constipation
and chills and fever, as now treated by
the Bitters, promptly yield where before
they obstinately resisted old fashioned
medication. So do dyspepsia, rheu-
matism and kidney complaint--all surely
conquerable by this safe and really philo:
sophie remedy.

An Arabian Horse Story.

A pretty Arabian story is told to this
effect IA man was riding upon horse
of pure blood when he was met by his
enemy, who was also splendidly mounted.
One pursued the other, and he who gave
chase was distanced by the one who fled.
Despairing of reaching him, the pursuer
in anger shouted out:
~ ask, in the name of God, has your
horse ever worked on land9'
"'He has worked on the land for four
days.
every well, mine never has, and by
the beard Of the prophet am sure to
catch you.
"Toward the close of the day the horse
that never labored was the victor, and, an
the rider of the degraded horse sank under
the blows of his enemy he said:
"'There has been no blessing upon our
country since we have changed our cours-
ers into beasts Of burden and of tillage.
Has not God made the OK for the pillow, the
camel 10 transport merchandise and the
horse alone for the race? There Is 10th
ing gained by changing tho ways Of
God. boston Herald.

The Statistics Fiend.

The Statistics Fiend.
While on our earthly pilgrimage the world has
many woes for u.s.
We struggle on beneath our loads of trouble
care and pain,
But the latest tribulation is the man who al
ways goes for us
With documentary evidence-statistics on
the brain.
He'll tell within fraction the exact amount
of coffee drank
For thirteen generations back in both the
hemispheres;
Whatever else you want to know he'll gladly
bite you off chunk
OF tabulated knowledge that's enough to
start the tears.
He will tell how many gravestones are export
ed by the nation,
How many pairs Of shoestrings and the guam
tity of rum,
And he'll figure in jiffy the earths total popu-
lation
From the timo it was created to the day Of
kingdom come.
Would you know how much tobacco is con-
sumed in every minute,
How many yards Of calico it takes to clothe
the south?
Just ask the statistician; he will tell you he is
lin it,"
He performs 1t with his pencil and proclaims
1t with his mouth.
He's daisy with statistics, and If you'd like to
try for
A plan Of sizing up the man who figures with
such vim,
Just set him down and count him one. add
cipher after cipher,
And be sure to place the ciphers at the left
hand side Of him.
The time will come when men shall have suffl-
GENTLY been goaded
land the prayer of many victim is that it
may quickly Gomez;
When there'll be an accidental case of didn't
know twas loaded"
And the fend will quit his figures in the mid
die Of sum.

Fulfllment.

No one fulfills the plan of his creation
Who cannot say
That he has led one soul from willful blindness
Into the day.
We may not stand on some high mountain
summit
With wisdom crowned
And see a brother lie in human weakness
Low on the ground.
We cannot reach the blessed land of promise
BY one swift flight,
But step by step, not hating in our weakness.
We reach the light.
If we but make ladder Of our failings
And round by round
Climb up, helping hand outstretching,
Rest will be found.
Our welcome will DO warmer at the ending
II 1t be known
That we have helped some struggling, fainting
brother
To stand alone.

Extensive Economy.

Some people begrudge the little money
that an Allcock's Porous Plaster costs,
and then when they are racked with pain
from lame back, or from the soreness
arising from cold, they will spend any
amount of money to relieve the pain. If
they only had one of these world-renown-
ed plasters on hand they would be saved
n vast amount of suffering and be con-
siderably richer. At the first sign Of stiff
ness of the joints apply one of these
plasters without any delay. The soreness
will be greatly relieved at once and soon
disappear entirely. 1t will be money
saved to have them on hand, to say
nothing of the comfort they bring.
3randreth's Pills contain no irritating
matter.

Isit upon my OK team. calm,
Beneath the lazy sky,
And crawl contented through the land
And let the world go BY.
The thoughtful OK has learned to wait
And nervous impulse smother
And ponder long before he puts
One foot before the other.
And men with spanking teams pass by
And dash upon their way
As If 1t were their hope to find
The worlds end in day.
And men dash by in palace cars;
On me dark frowns they cast
As the lightning driven Present frowns
Upon the slow old Past.
Why do they chase, these men Of steam,
Their smoke flags wide unfurled,
Pulled by the roaring fire fiend
That shakes the reeling world2
What do ye seek, ye men Of steam.
So wild and mad you press?
Is this-is this the railroad line
That leads to happiness2
And when you've swept across the day
And dashed across the night
Is there some station through the hills
Where men can find delight?
All. toward the depot Of Content
Where no red signals stream,
go BY OK team just as quick
As you can 80 by steam!

Our Only Day.

Did not our yesterdays and morrows give
To hope and memory their interplay
How should we bear to live?
Not merely what we are.
But what we were and what we ore to be
Make up our life-the near days each star,
The far days nebul@.

Its keen pursuits and coy delays Of bliss
And its delicious pangs of fond regret
Were there no day but this.
And who, to win friend,
Would to the secrets OF his heart invite
A fellowship that should begin and end
Between night and night9
Who, too, would pause to prate
OF insult or remember slight or scorn: 49,,
Who would this night lie down to sleep with
hate
We're there to be no morn?
Who would take heed to wrong,
To misery's complaint or rity's call,
The long wall Of the weak against tho strong.

And what were wealth with shame,
The vanity Of Office, pride Of caste,
The why sparkle Of the bubble fame.

Were lost forevsrmore?

OF the republic" A tumultuous scene
ensued, the uproar being so great that
the president could not make himself
heard. The socialists seemed TO be the
stronger lunged and their cries OF
'Vive Revolution could be heard
all over the hall. M. DcBaudry
and NJ. Dasson e~ndeavored to
propose a revision of the consti-
tuition, but they were quickly silenced
by the president. Lots were then cast
for a ballot. the object being to see
which letter the ballots should begin
with. The letter IL" was drawn and
the name Of M. Labarthe, moderate
republican, was the first called. In ac-
cordance with the custom, Labarthe
assembled the rostrum and being recog-
nized placed his ticket in the great urn
which serves as a ballot box and de-
scended and returned 20 his seat. The
senators and deputies whose names
were subsequently called went through
the same ceremony.
The total number Of votes cast was
ISL, Of which 6 were spoiled. OF the
remainder, sA5. Perier received 45l,
Brisson l9l, Dupuy 81, Revrier 80. Ar
ago 81: necessary to a choice, 423.

There was nothing to DO but to run for

Like the blackness of night, gave us chase,
But that nag,
Though he had a hard day, didn't tremble

Then the lightning would fash,
And the thunder would crash
With a terrible din.
They were eager to catch him, but he
would just neigh,
Squint back TO make sure and then gallop
away.
Well, this made the storm the more flu
rious yet. 4,
And we raced and we raced, but he

And he wouldn't give in!

At the end Of the trail,
