9 Girls Mako a Queer Pledge.

"a curious pledge was taken by lot
of San Francisco girls at the instiga-
ton of their pastor, DR.. Martin" said
young woman yesterday. Last week
he delivered a lecture to young women
only The majority of persons when
they saw the dainty badges pinned on
the shoulders Of the girls were very
much surprised when they learned the
import. They had signed vow, a
unique one, contrived by DIR. Martin,
that not one of them would ever hold n
secret engagement or receive atten-
tions from any man that their parents
did not approve; that, come what may,
nothing could ever induce them to
break the vow they so solemnly made.
The thing was thought to be a joke at
first, but on inquiry l found that the
young women have thus far pledged
themselves. do not think the idea has
spread eastward yet, but it has caused
n deal of gossip on the Pacific slope"

Simple Remedy FOR Earaohe.

81 am afraid have greatly interfered
with my own practice, said cclebrat-
ed aurist, ''by giving tho following ad-
vice to many of my friends. At the
first symptoms of earache let the pa
tient lie on the bed with the painful
ear uppermost. Fold thick towel
and tuck 1t around the neck; then with
teaspoon fill the ear with warm
water. Continue doing this for fifteen
or twenty minutes; the water will fill
the car oriiice, and flow over on the
towel. Afterward turn over the head,
let the water run out, and plug the ear
with warm glycerine and cotton. This
may be done every hour until relief is
obtained. 1t is an almost invariable
cure, and has saved many cases of
acute Inflammation. The water should
be quite warm, but not too hot"

Honor to a Brave Soldier.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The war departments award of a
medal of honor to Brevet Major General
st. Clair A. Mulholland, of Philadelphia,
for his distinguished gallantry at Chan
cellorsyille, Va, in May 1868, is a
highly merited reward. Early in his
Philadelphia career General Mulholland
joined the local militia, and after the
outbreak of the civil war was active in
recruiting the One Hundred and
Sixteenth Volunteers, with whom he
marched to the front as lieutenant
colonel. Joining General Meagher's
Irish Brigade in the Army of the
Potomac, he soon had an opportunity to
show his bravery when, at the battle of
Charlottesville, Colonel Heenan was
disabled by shell. The 23-year-old
lieutenant colonel held the command
valorously until he himself was wound
ed. At Gettysburg he led his troops
over the historic wheat field immortaliz-
ed by its baptism of blood and fire as
the whirlpool. Throughout the Wilder
ness campaign heefought like a lion,
sticking to the field despite a number OF
wounds, and winning his brevet by his
victorious assault upon and capture of
one of the enemy's earthworks. The
new medal OF honor comes fttingly in
the nature of birthday present, for
upon the 1St day of April the general
will celebrate the ffty-sixth anniversary
of his birth.

1t is not necessary for the true patriot,
in time of peace and general prosperity,
to bolster his patriotism up by an oath,
nor plot for his country's safety behind
guarded doors. 1t is not necessary for
the true religionist, in defense of his
faith, to prescribe honest men who seek
to reach heaven by some other pathway.
If American liberty means anything, it
means openness, frankess, courage of
conviction and willingness to do battle,
man-fashion, with face and weapon boldly
fronted toward the foe 1t does not
mean the skulk of the jackal in the
treacherous shadow nor the cowardly

What, then, is the death of man
according to the common meaning Of
the word death? l answer: 1t is the
withdrawal of the man himself from
the material body. He casts the body
aside. He deserts it. And by this act
he steps out of this world into the
spiritual world. By this simple act no
change is effected in the man himself,
in form, organization, or character.
He Is no better and no worse; he
knows no more and no less; he has not
lost or gained single feature or facul-
ty. He has only gained more favora-

his ends. Henry Giles.
