It is usually supposed by the lay reader that the greatest speeches made in congress arc the result of long prepa- ration and arc delivered from voluni- nous notes This is not always correct. The preparation may be all right, but in many cases notes do not exist at all This may be illustrated from n little conversation I had with ex- x-Congressman John NJ. Farquhar. He was booked to speak at a reunion of veterans. Half an hour before he was announced to take tho platform I approached and said:
 ''Mr. Farquhar. I shall be glad to get an advance copy of your speech !"
 My dear sir." he replied. II never wrote a speech in my life and never shall never spoke from notes but once in my life That was when I was in congress, and my speech occupied over four hours. My notes consisted of five words scrubbed on a piece of paper. l have kept that piece of paper. and when I have joined the majority it may Dc considered an interesting souvenir tn somebody"

How They Could Be Used.

Depend upon it, children" said the benignant old gentleman who was ad- dressing the Sunday school, we were fash toned by wiser power than ourselves. There was no mistake made in putting us together. If our hands were placed where our feet are and our feet where our hands arc, how could we get along? It would be exceedingly awkward, children, exceed ingly awkward. I stretch my hand out this way. I move my fingers like this. Now, what is this an evidence o1, chil- drenf"
 There was no reply, and after waiting a moment the speaker answered the question himself.
 1t is an evidence of design. Don't for get that, children" he continued impress lively. It is an evidence of design. Sup pose, for instance, my eye, instead of hay ing lids and flashes, had legs Suppose my eye had legs. How could I use thcm?"
 You could use them in running your eye over the congregation, couldn't you?'' replied deeply interested little boy near the door.-Chicago Tribune.

The Amateur Farmer.

He was tired of the city, and he thought 1t was pity that people during summer in the heated town should stay, and he thought the prospect charming of q season spent in farming. where he'd grow his own corn and turnips and manufacture hay.
 To a store ho quickly specded, bought tho implements he needed, then a sturdy pair of horses fit to work tho blow ho sought; rented out his city dwelling, and his breast with high hopes swelling he started for tho country and tho farm that he had bought.
 Just at first 1t was enchanting. He'd come home at evo dcscanting on tho seeds that ho had planted and the fields that ho had plowed, and of Early Rose" po tatoes, Flat Dutch" cabbage and toma- toes, snap beans, lettuces and carrots hc would talk both long and loud.
 Soon, alas! his dream was over, for the wiry grass and clover went astraying OCT his turnips, and no longer then they grew. Then the locusts ate his cabbage, and the worms his beans did ravage, and n COW got in the gate and ate his corn and car rots too.
 Next the devil horses caught him and lot of damage wrought him, and he saw that he could never make decent crop that year. Said he to his young wife, kitty, we will go back to the city, for I'm tired and disgusted, and can't make hoadway here.''
 To the town they soon returned, and no more his heart it yearncd for n life out in the country and n homo on n farm, and if you want to set him humming ask him how tho crops are coming. Then you'll have to skip out quickly, for he'll surely do you harm.-New York World.

St. Murphy.

There is in one of the departments in Washington an old maid whom I call St. Murphy, not becanse she is so saintlike i'll appearance, for my saint has a jolly face, and in that woman. whose hair is sprinkled with gray and upon whose cheeks the roses of youth have ceased to bloom, see a beauty that leaves nothing to Do desired
 She comes into the dining room ac- conn Imied by little girl and boy. My wOman's eye sDnn detects something T little out of the usual The children look too young tO be hers, so make in quiries and find that they are hers by adoption She found these children with dying mother, whom she made happy by promising to care for them How faithfully she is keeping her promise, She has taken them to her heart They show, as children always do that they have not only food and clothes. but love. and plenty of it. Do you wonder that I call her saint? Here is that wuman. at the age when women soonest tire, going daily tO her work, no matter what the weather, cold or rain, denying herself that she may make these children com fortable. When I see her in the evening, weary from her days work, but her dear old face beaming with love. I say to myself, '-TEcre Is woman who has won heaven, and am glad to have known her. " and I murmur. God bless you, Miss Murphy y!'-Harriette P Crabbe in Minneapolis HousekeePer.

 The stomach, liver and bowels cause more trouble than any other part of the body. There are thousands of persons whose food don't do them the good it should. They have bad taste in mouth. coated tongue. constipation. gas in stomach, fullness or distress after meals, bIoating and belchiDg of wind. They often have headache. are weak and ner- vous, have sallow eomplexions and can't sleep. Frank Pierce. Esq. we'll known man. of Goffstown. N. H., says.'
 ''Some ten years ago. I was taken with infampation of the stomach. was in so much distress that the doctor gave me morphine and used something he put in my arm. After the pain stopped my little finger b.gan to swell and pain me. It ex- tended all over my hand which was terribly swollen. =

 CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Tho belief in the ul- timate destruction of the world by an nll consuming fire is said to have been suggest cd by the attempt to interpret the portcnt of n northern light, but the prophecy of tho dies ire may, after all, be founded on a less visionary basis. The destruction of forests and tho consequent progress of the desert have scorchcd the life out of somo 5000, 900 squarc miles of land that once formed the garden spots of the old world, and the settlers of our northwestern forest states must have been repeatedly tempted to believe in literal fulflllment of the lurid prediction.
 Acres of Finder.
 It might indeed be questioned If the scenes of horror witnessed in the lake shoro counties of Michigan and Minne- sota in tho couT 70 of the last three weeks have ever been surpassed on this planet since the descent of the fire shower that destroyed the cities of the plain. Prairie fires exhaust their fuel so rapidly that the brecZes in their wake cool within half m hour, and the havoc of n city cOnllagration Is retarded by the frequent obstacles, while the furnace of the recent pine wood fires seemed to have been carefully prepared to intensity the fury of Il flame tornado.
 South and southwest of Duluth some 500 miles of undulating hill country arc covered with conifCrous forcsts-or rather brushwOods, for the ax of the lum- herman has been very busy in those border counties. Millions of stately trees have been fcllcd and their dead branches scatter ed along the ground among bramblcs and piles of rcsinOus chips, and the atmosphere of the Syrian tablcland cannot be much drier than the brceZeS that have parched that region during the latter part of this summer. The rainy season of our central plateau ends in June, and the summer winds from the south, too, nowadays part with most of their moisture in their pas sage over wide arCas of thirsty hills and cotton fields. A rubbish heap covered with carloads of oiled paper and gunpowder cotton could hardly dcmand more strin- gent precautions against tsc visit of n con migration, but what efforts of vigilance can control the camplrcs of prowling tramps or the sparks of n midnight express train? The heaps of dead pine brush, roast ed by the sun glare of prOtractCd drought, had become so cOmbustible that the currc- spondcnt of n St. Paul newspaper is pos sibly right in ascribing the origin of the first blaze to a smuldering ''wad" from the shotgun of n rabbit hunter. X wisp of perfectly dry grass wrapped around n fuse of that sort can be famed into flame by n Inerc breath of wind, and within half m hour after its spread to the pine brush heaps the resulting cOnllagration may have out grown the control of anything but n tropical thunder shower or possibly of the dense ash rains that are said to have cx-

 BOSTON, Sept. 1S.-Thc last place the usual visitor and sightseer in Boston thinks of visiting Is the north end. He has heard stories about fiery Italians, mur- derous Portuguese and thieving Jews, who live there, and has in mind n picture of unsightly streets filled with rubbish and lined with crazy tenements.

Chemical Reaction.

A French chemist has lately made some investigations in n field not hither- to so thoroughly explored as many oth- CTS, and from them he draws the con- clusion that chemical rcaction cannot occur between I25 degrees and IJO de grees. Sulphuric a1id and ammonia will not react at 50 dcgrees, while at Go to 65 degrees the action is sudden and violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic potash can be made to unite with the same acid below l25 degrees C. nor with carbonates below so degrees. With the latter, brisk cfTcryescencc sets in about 90 degrees If nitric instead of sulphuric acid is used in such experi- ments. the temperature where reaction begins seems to be lowered in every case-New York Sun
