HIS ABIDING FAITH.

Amid disbursement ana danger
let us not forget that with Washington
there was an ever-abiding faith in the
capacity Of his country for self-govern-
ment That a helping. onnipOtent hand
was ever stretched out TO this favored
land. was TO him a living faith The cen
fury just closing has not dlmmed the
glory Of the achievements Of this illus

May we not believe that whatever
dangers may hereafter menace our free
institutions or the perpetuity of our re-
publican Government, the Federal Con-
stitution. the handiwork OF Washington
and his compeers, will prove 10 us and

nouncing himself as doubly a grandson
Of Virginia, offered a toast ITO the Com

Shortly after Mr.. Clevelands entrance

A Notable Anniversary.

The 25th anniversary of the laying of
the submarine cable to the far East was
celebrated in London on Friday night July
90 Sir John Pender, in response to the
toasts proposed by the Lord Mayor and
others, described the early struggles of
the company and the remarkable develop
ment of its business. Twenty-Five years
ago the company had 800 miles of cable
and 920O,0 900 capital. Today it has 81
325 miles of cable and f15,000,000 capi-
tai. The total mileage of submarine ca
bles, l52, 900 miles, of which 80 per cent.
had been provided by private enterprise,
costing altogether over $40 100000 The
total length of land wires throughout the
world was over 100000 miles, estimated
to have cost 65,OOO,O00 If the cables
and land lines were added together, com
bined capital was represented of 9106,-
100000. Twenty-Five years ago it was
considered wonderful to receive a message
from India in few hours Today tele-
grams arrive in few minutes. The COM
menced business by carrying at the rate of
100000 messages per annum. To-day
they transmit over 100000. Subma-
rine telegraphy had undoubtedly equal
ized trade throughout the world and
brought the producer and consumer closer
together, enabling the producer to obtain
better market and the consumer to ben
eft by international competition. 1t had
over and over again prevented diplomatic
ruptures and consequent war, and had
thus been instrumental in promoting peace
and happiness throughout the world.

Cholera Morbus.

"The great prevalence of attacks Of chol-
era morbus or cramps during the protracted
hot spell" said Health Commissioner Me-
Shane of Baltimore, recently, "renders
timely a little advice about the first treat
ment of such cases when they occur.
First send for doctor. But there are
remedies which, administered in the COM
mencement of the attack, give relief, and
all the physician has to do is to give mild
corrective for the stomach.
Camphor water is the simplest and most
easily used remedy. A teaspoonful may
be taken by an adult and repeated every
fifteen or twenty minutes until the doctor
arrives. Children must be given smaller
doses in proportion to their age. As water
can take up only limited quantity of
camphor, no harm is likely to come from
the free use of this remedy.
Paregoric is another simple remedy and
may be used in doses of from one-half to
one teaspoOnful for adults, repeated every
half hour. The opium in this preparation
makes necessary more carse in its use by
those who are not physicians.
In addition to the remedy taken the suf-
ferer should remain quiet and the stomach
should be given rest from food or cold
liquids. The latter should especially be
avoided as intensely irritating to the sto-
mach in its disturbed condition.
Cholera morbus generally results from
eating unripe fruit or from some article of
food only partly or improperly cooked.
Many cases, not caused apparently by indis-
cretion in eating, are due to sudden changes
in temperature or exposure to draughts.
Persons seek the coolest spot possible, and
the customary light clothing worn is no
protection to the stomach and bowels, which
seem especially susceptible to temperature
influences at this season Of the year. A
catarrhal condition is the result, much the
same as one has cold in the head in win
ter time.
As preventives care should be taken in
eating and drinking, draughts should be
svoided and the stomach region should be
protected from sudden changes from heat
to cold The services of physician are.
generally needed even after the acute stage
of cholera morbus to assist the restoration
of the stomach TO its normal condition. "

Queer Things in Animal Life.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Pniladelphla lllnes-
The greyhound runs by sight only.
This is fact The carrier pigeon flies his
hundreds Of miles homeward by eyesight,
noting from point to point objects that he
has marked This is only conjecture.
The dragon fly, with 10000 lenses in his
eye, darts from angle to angle with the
rapidity of flashing sword, and as rapidly
darts back, not turning in the air, but with
clash reversing the action of his four
wings and instantaneously calculating the
distance Of the objects, or he would dash
himself to pieces. But in what cOnforma-
ton of the eye does this power consist?
No one can answer.
Ten thousand mosquitoes dance up and
down in the sun, with the minutest inter
val between them, yet no one knocks an
other headlong on the grass or breaks a
leg or wing, long and delicate as they
are Suddenly peculiar, high-shoulder-
ed, vicious creature, with long and pendant
nose, darts out of the rising and falling
cloud, and settling on your cheek inserts
a poisonous sting. What possessed the
little wretch to do this? Did he smell
your blood while he was dancing? No one
knows.
A carriage comes suddenly upon some
geese in narrow road and drives straight
through the flock. A goose was never yet
fairly run over, nor duck They are
under the very wheels and hoofs, and yet
they contrive to flap and waddle safely off.
Habitually stupid, heavy, and indolent,
they are, nevertheless, equal to any emer-
eney.
Why does the lonely wOodpecker, when
he descends from his tree and goes to
drink, stop several times on his way and
listen and look around before he takes his
draught? No one knows How is it that
the species of ant which is taken in battle
by other ants to be made slaves should be
the black or negro ant? No one knows.
The power of Judging of actual danger
and the free-and-easy boldness that results
from it are by no means uncommon. Many
birds seem to have correct notion of a
guns range, and are scrupulOusly careful
to keep beyond it. The most obvious re-
source would be to fly right away ont of
sight and hearing, but this they do not
choose to do.
A naturalist of Brazil gives an account
of an expedition that he made to one Of the
islands of the Amazon to shoot spoOnbills,
ibises, and other magnificent birds which
are abundant there. His design was com
pletely bafied, however, by wretched
little sandpiper, which preceded him, con
tinually uttering his telltale cry, which at
once aroused all the birds within hearing.
Throughout the day did this individual
bird continue its self-imposed duty of sen
tinel to others, effectually preventing the
approach of the hunter to the game and
yet managing to keep out of the range Of
his gun.

The Story of a Drop of Water.

You have ne doubt heard the old saying
that ga constant dripping viii wear away
stone" This old saw was made the cause
of dispute between Viennese and an
American athlete not long ago. The Ameri-
can strong man bet his colleague that he
would not be able to endure the dripping
of quart of water in the hollow of his
hand, the vessel to be suspended three feet
from the hand
The Vienna man laughed and took the
BET, feeling sure that he would have no
difficulty in winning the Americans money.
The right quantity Of water was measur-
ed off, poured into vessel with narrow
neck, and the game of patience began.
Three hundred drops had fallen into the
athletes hand. But, 10, behold, the tri-
umphant air of the latter had changed re-
markably. He looked serious, his face
grew red, he clinched his teeth, aud after
100 more drops had fallen in the same spot
on his hand he gave up the game.
The place in his hand was very red, and
part of the skin was broken, showing the
flesh.
Only small part of the quantity of
water contracted for had fallen, and araong
all the people who had looked on there was
no one more astonished than the athlete
himself.

young Man Don't Drift.

There is not a more melancholy spectacle
than young mau standing at the thresh-
old of life without any definite purpose be-
fore him. If he has had the advantage Of
a college education his plight is the more
narrowing, for then he is like a ship well
equipped, but without captain or pilot
and adrift on the sea- He is subject to be
buffeted by every passing inclination, and
is bound sooner or later, to be wreck.
Under the pressure of present economic
conditions the majority Of young men are
compelled to earn livelihood and must
take the first opportunity that opens. That
such should be the case is not to be de-
plored, but, in the interest Of the young
man, the reverse, for it is better to be en-
gagged in any honorable occupation, no
matter how unsuitable it may appear, than
to drift helplessly doing nothing. 0ccu-
patton tends to stir the energies, to stimu-
late comparisons, and promote ambitions.
While devoting himself conscientiously
and energetically to the work in hand he
should remember that there is no law to
compel him to remain in that occupation,
providing it is distasteful or unsuitable.
In this age of specialism every occupation
is but technical training in some particu-
lar department. The demands Of employ
ment upon his energies will enable him to
analyze his abilities and adaptabilities, and
discover wherein hit natural or educational
bent lies. IF he his chosen the vocation to
which he is adapted he will strive to excel;
if not, he will speedily seek employment
along another line.
There are too many young men Of good
parts who "Loaf the best years of their
lives doing nothing, or pursue some emer-
gency employment in a slipshod manner,
waiting for some merciful providence to
show them what they are fitted for. They
are predestined to disappointment. A man
is not a puppet, but a responsible being,
and has been endowed with the faculty of
discretion, in order that he may use it
properly, both to his own advantage and
to that of his fellOwmen.

This is to be thoroughly mixed with tive
teaspoonfuls of water and four ounces of
water added. The dose for adults is one
teaspoonful every hour, and for children
smaller doses according to age. Murray
says ''The medicine is harmless and is
recommended by the best schools in Paris.

The Locomotive Fireman.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
At least every 30 seconds he throws
open the furnace door, and without false
motion or the slightest delay hurls exactly
three shovelfuls of coal on the FIRE, writes
81 Warman. He knows just how to spill
and spread it with dextrous turn of the
wrist. Before Albany is reached he must
throw 6375 pounds of that coal into the
fire, or nearly 40 pounds minute, or an
average of A pounds mile Then, too,
he must know exactly where he is along
the road, and when to drop his shovel and
seize the bell-cord He must ring the bell
in passing all towns and villages. He must
know the proper instant to vault into his
seat when important curves are reached to
watch for signals.
He must see that the steam dosen't vary,
and he is proud to shout in your ear when
you near Albany: "She hasen't varied
three pounds since we left New York, :,
He must watch the water gauge of the
boiler, and is constantly kept changing the
pumps and seeing that they do their work
properly. All the time he must keep
throwing in his A pounds of coal on the
fire every mile. 1t isn't long before he
surprises you with another motion. He
throws open the furnace and thrusts long,
double-pronged fork into the fire. With
twist he prods the glowing mass, and
when he pulls his fork out its teeth are
cherry red. Then comes the whirr of the
shovel again and the sound of the hammer
as Tompkins breaks up the larger Jumps
of COAL
When you approach Montrose, near
Peekskill, the engine begins to slow down,
: If you look ahead you will see a narrow
trough between the rails filled with water
The engine is going to take on water at a
flying leap. Tompkins stands at the side
of the tender with his hands on a lever.
Engineer Foyle suddenly startles you with
shrill whistle between his teeth that would
put to shame the warning signal a New
York newsboy gives to his gambling mates
when a policeman. comes in sight. In
stantly the lever flies back, aud as you look
at the wheels of the tender you see surging
up among the trucks a torrent of water.
1t splashes and roars, and, as you wond-
er if you won't be carried away, two whist
les from Foyle, sharper and shriller than
the first, warn Tompkins to pull up the
scoop and that the end of the water
trough is near. Then Tompkins goes back
to his coal, his pump, his pipe, his water
gauge, his bell, his watch for signals, and
you wonder what new work he will do
next. Before you are aware of it he
touches you upon the knee and motions to
you to raise your feet while he turns on
hose and vets the floor of the cab to keep
down the dust, after which he sweeps up
with stubby broom.
Next he is shaking down the CRATES with
big steel lever that looks like the tiller Of
large sailboat You now begin to take
in what it means to be a fireman. Toward
the end of the trip you tap his shoulder
and shout to him:
''This seems to keep you pretty busy ?"
"I tell you there is no funny business
about this work. is his response.
