An AVERAGE MAN.

Very few men are large of themselves
and still fewer are not small. A mans
estimation of himself does not carry
weight outside of his own brain and
many man has made a ludicrous eX-
hibition of himself publicly on ac-
count of his egotiSm. The average
man of a community is not as large as
his mirror shows and a man should
not gauge himself by the degree of es-
timation in which he holds himself.
The above statements are distinctly
general, but the applications are so
evident that each of us can picture for
ourselves instances in illustration.
We have seen cases wherein men of
full twenty stone weight have shrunk
to atomical proportions in an instant
by over display of haughtiness, where
common sense and quiet consideration
would have dictated more polite
course.

QUIET LIVES

QUIET LIVES.
In valley. centuries ago.
Grew Il little fern-lea green and slender
Veining delicate, and fibres tender,
Waving when the wind crept down 50 low
Playful sunbeans durted III ana found it:
Drops of dew stole down by night and crowned
it;
But no foot of man e'er came that way;
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swan the silent main,
Stately froSts waved their giant branches,
Mammoth creatures stalked across the plain ;
Nature revealed in grand mysteries;
But the little fern was not of these,
Did not number with the hills and trees
Only grew and waved its sweet, wild way;
No one came to note it day by day.
Earth, one time. put on a frolic mood,
Heaved the rocks and changed the mighty mo-
ton
OF the deep, strong currents of the Ocean;
Moved the plain and shook the naughty wood
Crushed the little fern, i'll soft, moist clay
Covered it, and hid it safe away.
Oh the long, long centuries since that day.
Oh the changes oh, life's bitter cost
Since the useless littlefern was lost.
Useless? Lost? There came thoughtful
man,
Searching natures secrets, far and deep;
From a assure i'll Il rocky steep
He withdrew stone DER which there ran
Fairy pcnciling, Il quaint design,
Leakage, veining, flores, clear and fine.
And the ferns life lay in every line.
So think, God hides some souls away
Sweetly to surprise us the last day!

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs Phoebe Thomas, of junction City ILL.,,
WAS told by her doctors she had Consumption
and that there was no hope for her, but two
bottles DR.. Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco
suffered from dreadful cold, approaching
Consumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured He is
naturally thankful. 1t is such results, OF
which these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and
Colds. Free trial bottles at Thos. G. Forwood
& Co.'S Drug Store, Bel Air.

THE NEED OF SUBMISSION.

1t is hard for one who has been de-
voted to any kind of religious work
to be willing to see the hand of God
in any sudden and radical change that
comes, especially if the change de-
ranges all the long cherished plans.
God certainly does sometimes over
turn all our best-laid schemes, even
for the advancement of his cause, and
not unfrequently by the hands of our
dearest friends, who for the moment
seem to be our enemies. These things
may show what spirit we are of.
When "a friend in whom we have
long trusted tells us an unwelcome
truth, which may be a criticism on
our work, it is not easy to feel that it
is Gods will that we heed this criti-
cism. How often we say, Il have
thought this all over and prayed
about it, and | know | AIN right, and
this other way is wrong" Why, then,
did God block the way and send us
such counsel and criticism, it may be,
and then add to our perpleXity every
time we attempted to go on in our
way Does it show that we are of his
mind, or that we are led by him, if we
attempt to destroy the work we once
sought to build up?
To be willing to do Gods will, even
if we are driven to retrace all our
steps and give up all our cherished
plans, is one of the best evidences of
our being children of God, led by him.

Annie E. werfelman ! In he Circuit Court
formerly for
Annie Z. Benglesdorf Hartford County.
John C. Werfelman. In Equity.
THE object of above entitled case is to OBJ

said John c.. vinculo matrilnonii.
The Bill AYERS that they were married about
10th February, 1891, in Baltimore city, and

three years, and is deliberate and final and
without any reasonable expectation of recon-
Citation.
That there are no children born of the mar
riage and said John c. Werfelman is Il non-reS-
ident of this State.

EARTHQUAKE THE PLAGUE IN
JAPAN

The real Japan is in unstable equi-
librium. Every one has to run for
his life once or twice in that life by
reason of earthquakes. The ceiling
in the billiard room of the Tokyo Club
is bolted TO the walls by network of
iron bars like a spiders web. This
keeps the roof steady, but the billiard
balls, cues, chalk and the like fire.
quently have contra-dances of live
ly kind. And when this happens the
members have not enough faith in
their spider webbed roof to keep them
from diving through the windows.
Professor Milne, the seismologist,
has invented method of preserving
u japanese house from destruction by
earthquake. tits to interpose hand
full of large, round shot between the
corner posts and foundation, thus
providing for free oscillation. Thus a
japanese house has ball bearings
like bicycle.
The earthquake is the cue to the pc
culiarities of the Japanese house. 1t
explains why glass is so little used
even now. One can look out of a ia
panese paper window easily enough
by wetting his finger and sticking it
through and it never falls on any
body.
The rooms in a japanese house are
never twice alike. AS the partitions
are formed of sliding paper screens,
the entire house may be one room or
five or twenty, all in the same day.
