Not the Only One.

Crossing the Cumberland river one
morning in the rope ferryboat which
prevails on those waters, I passed
the time talking to the gawky young
mountaineer who did the Charon act
in that locality. He was about 90
and, to my experienced eye, was, as
l judged men, quite as green a speci-
men as l had come upon.
Are you married?" l asked after
a few minutes.
mo, mister"
Not married? Why, you are old
enough to be-
Il reckon I am"
well, you ought to be. 1t is the
only proper condition for a man, and
every man owes it to himself and
society to take a wife. 1t settles one
in life and brings about him those
hostages of fortune which are bound
to make a better citizen of him as
well as a better man."
I knew I was talking over his head,
out l was enjoying 1t II he WASH t.
Air you married?" he asked with
q directness that rather disconnected
me.
well, no,"I hesitated, II am not.
l tried to be, but the woman in the
case objected"
He was still for a minute.
Mister, he said then, you
reckon you're the only Teller in the
world that ever happened to meet
up with one NV them objectin kind
Nv wimmen?"
Later, when l told him goodby
and shook hands with him in SYM
pathy, l didn't think he was as green
as he looked.-Detroit Free Press.

WHEN UINNIE CAME HOME.

TIT day when Linnie came home, came home,
Tit birds in the tree tops knew,
And the blossoms sweet fell down at her feet
At a glance from her eyes full of blue,
And the birds sang sweet,
'She has come once morei"
And the roses kissed her
At the door.
The day when Linnie came home, came home,
Tn sun beamed bright that day,
The bees made sweeter the honeycomb,
And the lilies leaned in her way,
And the south wind sang,
"She has come once more!"
And the sunshine kissed her
AT the door.
The day when Linnie came home, came home,
The high and splendid skies
That smiling bent where her footsteps went
We're nearly rs blue as her eyes,
And the birds sang sweet,
"She has come once morei"
And my glad heart met her
At the door!

Does the Human System Create Poisons

DoeS the human system create fOtSons?
A medical expert who has been
investigating some of the phenome-
ma of material man declares that the
human body is a laboratory of poi
sons, and the only reason why we do
not perish miserably is that the or
gans + a vast chemical workshop
where p~oisons are neutralized. The
liver is n of the chief agents in
this protective process. From this
it appears that the old time doctors,
who placed the liver first in the list
Of organs to be looked after, were
wiser in their generation than those
who came after them. DR.. Hickman,
who has conducted this investiga-
ton, says: THE liver has been found
to separate from the blood very many
poisons and to destroy a portion of
them altogether. The feeling of las
situde and drowsiness after certain
diseases is due to the absorption of
toxins, and it is not unlikely that the
nervous phenomenon of indigestion
Is due to the same cause. Headaches
recurring at more OF less regular in
tervals are believed to be caused by
toxins that the chemical laboratory
has lacked material or strength to
overcome Or throw out of the sys-
tenn. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
we are in continual danger of de-
s%truction by reason of poisons Gre
ated in systems. The Importance
of knowing what food to choose and
what to avoid under given circum-
stances cannot be overestimated. -

Tho Facts Presented,

The last issue of the HERALD contain
ed a graphic description of a certain
tract of ground in the town of Neihart
which is owned by certain citizens, with
Gold T. Curtis, trustee. 1t was not the
intention of this article to reflect discred-
it upon the head of anyone, and especi-
ally was it not DESTROYS to cast any re-
Election upon the character of MI. Curtis,
the trustee. Correspondence at the date
that paper was issued pointed to the
existence of a slip in the title at some
transfer of the ground, and it required
only a certified copy of the deed to clear
up the doubt. This has since been pro-
cured and the editor of the HERALD told
the editor of the Miner the facts which
gave foundation for the very beautiful
article which appeared in the columns of
our Thursday contemporary. We know
now that everything in relation to this
ground is right, as it was recorded by
the owners three years ago. We would
suggest tbas the title be revised and re-
recorded so that the name and proper
ton of the tract properly belonging to
each individual may appear on the coun-
ty records. But to suggest such a thing
is not to have it acted upon. The vari-
Gus holders are one by one dropping of
the stage of action and their estates are
in no way enriched by any holding they
may have in connection with this
ground.

THE GREAT SAHARA.
Affica's Great Desert as 1t Is Known to
the GeograDhers

Affica's Great Desert as 1t Is Known to
the Geographers.
One-fifth of the whole African
continent is desert, the area being
estimated by Mr.. Ravenstein at over
1850, 900 square miles, of which all
but a small fraction is contained in
the tract of land popularity known as
the Sahara.
Except for some school children
who know better and schoolteachers
who r instrumental in that being
SO, the misconception of the Sahara,
which is widespread, would be prac-
tically universal. The average man
pictures the Sahara as a vast sea of
sand, for the most part below sea
level, acros which the camel speeds
before the poison blast of the
simoom from oasis to oasis. Schemes
for flooding the Sahara have come
before the public occasionally, and
we have read accounts of the vast
inland sea which might be formed,
rivaling the Mediterranean in size,
giving a southern seacoast to Ma
rocco and Algeria and admitting
steamers directly to the wealthy
states of the Sudan. The Sahara,
as known to the g%eographer, CORE
spends badly with this conception,
for, in fact, there is no risk of the
ship of the desert" ever being sup
planted by the ships of the sea. Few
parts are below sea level, and they
are small and scattered.
In the interior the desert is a plain
high above the e level, covered
with vast dunes of red sand in many
parts; in others it Is an elevated
plateau with lofty mountain ranges
of bare rocks intersected by stony
valleys. It Is arid, save where a
spring bubbles up and gives rise to a
small oasis Of grass and palm trees.
The Sahara proper is unknown, ex-
cept for a few trade routes regular.
~ traversed by Arabs and occasion
ally by adventurous Europeans.
These utilize the GASES as resting
places, stepping stones, as it were,
and keep up communication between
the wealthy Mohammedan states
round Lake Chad in the south and
Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers or Marocco
on the Mediterranean. Between the
trade routes all is a bank of sand or
barren rock. Exploration is only pos
sible when water as well as food can
be carried, and this condition has
practically stopped all attempts at
discovery for the present on account
of the great expense and the purely
scientific nature of the possible re-
turn. A railway running from the
French possessions on the Mediter-
ranean across the desert to Tim
buktu, the scarcely known trade cen
ter nea the Niger, is talked of. Such
a line may be constructed in the fu-
ture, but the difficulties are enor-
nous, much greater than those owe
come by the Russians in the Trans
caspian line through the deserts of
central Asia. -"Unknown Parts of
the World" by Hugh Robert Mills

Tears as q Medicine.

The Persians are the only people
in the world that still adhere to the
old custom of bottling tears. In that
country 1t constitutes an important
part in the funeral ceremonies per-
formed over the dead. Each of the
mourners is presented with a sponge
with which to mop the face and eyes,
and after the burial these are taken
by a priest, who squeezes the tears
into bottles. Mourners' tears are be-

Many of our good resolutions do not
begin at the right point. We realize,
perhaps, that we are not doing the
good thata Christian ought to do, that
we are bringing forth but little fruit,
and we resolve in the future to do bet
ter. But the first resolution that we
ought to make Is that we will live clos
er to Christ. The cause of our barren
ness in the Christian life is that we do
not live near enough to the Savior.
We have too little spiritual life In us.
Now, 80 long as this is true we can

Christian Work.

One of the most beautiful and help
full charities in this country Is q
Babies Home, in one of our large
cities, where children under six years
of age. whose parents are not able or
not willing to care for them properly,
are tenderly nursed and tended.
The peculiar feature of this institu-
ton is that, on the first of each month,
children whose lot In life has been
happier than that of the little waits
are brought by their mothers to the
home. Each one chooses q baby to
adopt" this baby's expenses are
paid by the mother for her child, who
is taught to think of 1t as Of little
brother In trouble, to share It's toys
and clothes with 1t, to visit and play
with it, and to pray for 1t as 1t does
for Its mother and brothers.
A visitor describes these children,
with their "adopted brother" play
ing hide-and.seek in the garden Of the
Home, poor and rich together, but
all clean, rosy and happy. No sermon
in after life could teach them brotherly
love as this childish play.
At recent convention of working
women in New York, the daughters
of millionares and Of laborers united
heartily in devising practical schemes
to widen and elevate the lives Of
women who are obliged TO earn their
living outside of their homes.

ments show how powerfula hold practi-
cal Christianity has taken upon the
hearts and lives of English-speaking
people of the present day.

of course, that it IL in our power to give
something more than money. 1t hard

which the psalmist speaks. In that
very practical epistle-the Epistie OF
St. James-..a portrait Is drawn OF the

and in the portrait I find that the

word. According to st, James, we
are not TO shrink from bringing our.
selves into personal contact witch hu-
man distress and sorrow, ifit is porsi-
bic for us TO do no. 1t is not money
alone that is wanted In such cases, but
with money the kindly inquiry, the
sympathy, the tenderness, the fecognt-
ton of q common humanity, and, In
many cases, of brotherhood In Jesusl
Christ, the tones of the voice, theglancel
