All Doubt Removed.

Any doubt that may have hitherto
existed as to the veracity of the Biblical
account of the passage of the Jews dry,
shod across the Red sea have been set at
rest by the report of Major General Tul-
loch, published in London, describing
an incident which took place during his
recent survey for the British government
of that part of Egypt through which the
route of the exodus is said to have lain.
1t seems that on one occasion last spring
there sprung up storm of wind so in
tense in its violence as not only to stop
all survey work along the borders Of
Lake Menzahleh, but to carry within
the space of a few hours the entire wa
ters, the lake out of sight beyond the
horizon, leaving all the sailing vessels
resting on the sandy bed of the inland
sea. This is manifestly what occurred in
the days of Moses, and what has hither-
to been i'll the eyes of the skeptical open
to doubt as a miracle must henceforth
be accepted as a definitely proved nat
ural fact.-New York Tribune.

The silver cause in Kentucky is
constantly increasing, and the only
thing that prevents the situation
being stated in its true light more
widely is that the newspapers of
our largest cities are the hirelings
of the money power. l tell them
that they have their tags on like so
many dogs, and they dare not do
otherwise than wear their tags and
bark in accordance with instrue-
tions.-Sepatop Blackburn of Ky.

A surgeon in the English army has
found that the best way to treat blisters
ON the feet is to insert the point of a
needle or other puncturing instrument
in the sound skin about one-eighth of an
inch beyond the edge of the blister.
Then pass the needle horizontally into
the blister, and if raised the liquid will
run out beneath. When the raised outer
skin only is pricked, it is apt to be sore
and Troublesome. After the liquid has
disappeared flatten the blister and cover
it with absorbent cotton or something
equally soft. Persons who have to be
ON their feet much of the time or those
obliged to walk great deal will find it
relief to change the shoes every other
day anG the stockings each morning.

A Beaconsfield Anecdote.

One day, when the late Lord Beacons-
field was walking in his grounds at
Hughenden Manor, he was accosted by
we'll known parishioner noted for his
ready wit. 1t being winter time and
the weather unusully severe, the vii
lager after paying his respects to his
lordship commenced to make an appeal
for little help.
"How often have I told you to be
careful and prepare for rainy day?"
"Ah, that's right enough. So did,
my lord, said the ready witted viii
lager, ''but then who ever thought Of
seeing all this snow and hard frost?"
This ready retort had the desired eff

HE LOST THE GIRL.
But Got Satisfactory Dig at His Rival
Before He Died.

He and her father were great friends.
AS only four persons figure in this story
it is unnecessary to mention names. He
had rival for her affections, and her
father could never understand why she
preferred the rival to him. One day
when he sat on the porch chatting with
her father she called him into the par
lor and told him frankly that she had
promised to marry his rival He did
not plead or beg. He kissed her hand
with sort of reverence, and then re-
turned to his seat on the porch and re-
newed the conversation with her father.
In those few moments everything seemed
to have changed for him. The sun did
not shine as brigE 5ly; the birds did not
sing as they did before Even the grass
and trees seemed scar and dead. He had
expected what he had just heard, but
that did not seem to abate the shock.
He was distrait and moody. Her father
saw this and asked him the cause. He
blurted out the whole miserable truth.
Her father continued to polish his
glasses carefully and then said:
"Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin
critters" :" Her father said nothing more,
but nothing would change her mind.
Gradually it came to be generally
known that he had been rejected, and
that his rival was the fortunate wooer.
They, he and his rival, were alumni of
the same college. He was down for a
speech at the alumni dinner. A month
before he had attended her wedding.
No one ever heard him complain, though
all knew how he suffered. He was
looked upon as the orator of his class,
and great speech was expected. When
he arose, a sinister glitter could be seen
in his eye. He began to speak slowly.
He took as his text Acquired Tastes. :"
He spoke as length. Finally he said:
81 called upon dear friend some
time ago who had just had daughter
married. He felt his loss very keenly,
l tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter he had
gained son. He said slowly to me:
" Maybe I will come to like him
after awhile-like 1 do my cigar, but
the first few puffs are making me
mighty sick.
1t was in Kentucky. Not word was
said then, but just as the sun peeped
over the hills the next day two dark
forms were seen silhouetted against the
sky. There were two flashes, combin-
ed, subdued report-and one fell, never
to rise again. 1t was he-New York

One on the Prince.

The Prince of Wales once visited a
seaside town for the purpose of laying
the foundation stone of the new harbor.
The prince, in company with Lord
Dufferin, drove through the town pre-
ceded by the mayor in his official robes.
An old fishwife, failing to distinguish
H. R. H. among the other gentlemen,
exclaimed:
81 wonder which is the prince' and
then cried out, at the top of her voice,
"Long live the princer'
Instantly the prince turned and
bowed.
"Is that him?" she inquired, with a
disappointed air.
"Of course it is" answered neigh
bor.
"Well, well," she replied "That's
a regular knockdownl Well, if our
mayor don't beat him all to fits in
dress ''-Liverpool Mercury.

ON THE MOUNTAIN.

a storm from the mountain is coming,
With lightning and thunder and rain;
The wind is sweeping and humming
In the butternut trees on the plain.
The cloud is cbon that follows,
The fore cloud is livid and pale,
There's the flash and the tossing of swallow
In the turn of the eddying gale.
And the rain is awake on the mountain;
'Tis lashing the forest afar
With fall of Il shattering fountain
And the tramp and the tumult of war;
With the drums of the detoping thunder,
And the clang in the bugles Of wind,
With the gonfalons tortured aSunder
By the rush of the host from behind.
The plains are leaping with shadows,
The highlands go out like a blot,
And over the eddying meadows
The rain is hurtled like shot.
r're darkness is glooming and Frightening,
There is alternate chaos and form,
With the parry and thrust of the lightning
In the turbulent heart of the storm.
Now the storm is over,
And the greener plain
Seems to glow and hover
Through the thinning rain.
Now the wind is gusty
In the maple tops,
Striking out the lusty
Storms of cleaning drops.
Now the goldfinch whistles
In his spattered vest,
Balanced on the thistles,
Bolder than the best.
And the hermit thrushes,
On the sparkling hills,
Link the dripping bushes
With their silver thrills.

When Dan Lamont went to
Washington he was very poor and
Uncle Sam was very rich. Now
Uncle Sam is so poor that he can
not pay the officers and soldiers OF

Dan Lamont is so very rich that
he offers to pay the money out OF
his own pocket. The brief history
of Uncle Sam and Handsome Dan

Coattail Buttons.

The buttons at the backs of our coats
are survival. Formerly there was a
puttonhole in the forward corner of each
skirt, and when gentleman was walk
ing OF riding he turned his skirts and
buttoned them to the bottom at his

sleeves were SO long that they covered
the tips of the fingers, and the cuffs
were turned back and buttoned when

THE ELECTRICAL

1t Gives Promise Of Becoming
a Fad and Nay Super

The electrical carriage or

Of becoming a fad in the East"
said a New York gentleman at
the Southern yesterday at
may eventually supersede the
bicycle in popular favor When
horses are dispensed with it
will no longer be nessary to
have the vehicle high enough
to enable the rider to overlook
the animal, and this will pro
duce a change as radical as that
from the old high-wheeled bike
to the safety.
The carriage of the future
will probably be so low tina.
one may step into it from the
street with perfect case, and
the danger of being thrown out
from runaway or collision will
be reduced TO a minimum. The
carriage will, of course, have
two wheels and elastic tires.
For light vehicles the pneu-
matte tire may be used, while
for rougher and heavier work
some strong cushion tire will
be more serviceable.
"Then the dash board. origin
ally designed to protect the
driver from the mud thrown up
by the horses hoofs, as well as
from the kicks of the animal,
will no lenger be needed, be
cause there will be no horses
to splash or kick. The aim, as
in the bicycle, will no daubt
be Jightness, combined with
strength.
"The most popular and use
full form of horseless carriage
will be a light vehicle for two
persons. which can easily be
stored in an ordinary building.
The modcl horseIess carriage
is coming, but before it can be
introduced into general use in
this country there must be a
vast improvement in the com

learn that he had so many
friends in the great Lone Star
state. lie had no opinion to
express on the coming fight be-
yond the fact that he felt per-
fectly confident that be would

his spacious training quarters

and by Wednesday expects to
get down TO actual training.

crowded by an eager throng,

Australian wonder. A band Of
