making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since NJ. Meline secured the tri-
umph of his system. The court of audits
has discovered 211 irregularities in the
last budgetary account of money paid
BY irregularities it means embezzle-

Ants nA DiterS.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering tho size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold on with wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with death hold to one an
other, making IL peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip OF an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but tho head remains. FIX

TO Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up TO 1855 the use
snd abuse of strong drink We're almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
OF the excuses in the old times came
after solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent i'll rest and convivial-
1ty, but the amount drank was enor-
nous. When the exchange was com
pleted, Ill 1882, dinner was given, and
there was somo apprehension that the
Wine would run out, and II well known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged moro than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought very large III
lowince of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1858 the final audit of tho accounts
of the United States bank was complet-
ed, and on behalf of tho government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
M. Mason and Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared 1t was mere
forlnality, us the matter had been settled
ten years before John Young acted as
clerk. The party met i'll the northwest
chamber of the bank building-now the
custom house-at l o'clock A bottle
OF brandy and six of Madeira were Oh
tho table, and after Il short inspection
OF papers the wine was opened, and By
l O'Clock was drank The day was
warm, and Il bowl of bishop was order
cd, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and flask of Curacao
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dine with Charles J.
1nSersoll about O'Clock. They returned,
bringing friend. A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until ~, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought i'll cold ducks
and a mighty lobster salad A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con-
ducive to digestion. a tumbler of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused ut daybreak to drink n
cup Of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away i'll the fresh

1t is apparent that in IL life like this
1T was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
govt, gravel and dropsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and so the habit of drinking
clarct and light wines came into fashion.

CLASSIC MUSIC.
Misleading Reports OF Rev. 8. B. Tur-
rentine's Address.


There were some misleading news
reports of Rev. S. B. Turrentine's ad
dress on Methodist Hymns at Chatta-
nooga, viz, in regard to his seeming
to oppose "classic music" and seeming
to favor "spiritualism" in Methodist
hymns. Some of the finest classic
lyric poetry is to be found in Charles
Wesley's hymns, and there is great
difference between the term "spiritu-
alism" as reported and spiritual" as
spoken. In speaking of the possibil-
ity Of any decline in the spirit and
power Of Methodist song, Mr.. Turren
tine simply said:
''We should draw the lines sharply
on irreverent, goddess choirs; on an
thems and hymns embodying the
shibboleths of heresy, and all such as
do not tend to the knowledge or love
of God We must guard against
whatever tends to make the SPIRITUAL
aim of our psalmody second to any
other feature"
AS evidence of the enthusiastic re-
ception of Mr.. Turrentine's address by
the vast assembly, we quote from the
Chattanooga Times, which says he
Evoke up the memories Of the aged
saints and set on fire the ardor of the
younger generation of Methodists.
His address was model one and
showed that he was familiar with the
hymns of his church as he should be
with his Bible"

Hanged by His Sweetheart.

RAMIRENA, TEX, July 4.-The
mystery of the hanging of Albert
Blackburn was fully explained today
when his fance, Miss Bessie Harris,
made a confession in court. She
said that Blackman, who was a
well>to- do young farmer, had been
counting her for some time, in oppo-
sition to the wishes of her parents.
Her father and mother aroused her
jealousy by telling her that Black,
man had another girl. At her faith
er's suggestion she proposed to
Blackman to prove his love for her
by submitting to be hanged by her,
she promising to cut him down in
time to save his life. Blackman
consented. The hanging took place
in lonely spot, and when Blackman
had his head in the moose the father
Of the girl appeared and hauled him
up. After Blackman was dead the
body was arranged so as to make it
appear case of suicide.

LIGHTNING STRUCK HIS POCKET
His Trousers ScOrched a Little, But
No Harm Done to Sexton

No Harm Done to Sexton
From the New York Sun
During the heavy storm on Saturday
afternoon lightning played queer
prank to Peter f. Sexton, at Hotel
Minot.
Sexton, who works in the hotel, was
sitting talking to friend at an open
window on the second floor. In the
heaviest part of the storm there came
binding flash. Sexton simultaneous
ly jumped to his feet, giving yell
and clutching his trousers in the
region of his left, hand pocket.
Flame seemed to burst from the pock-
ct, as the alarmed man tore away
part Of that side Of his trousers, the
contents of the pocket fell to the
floor. They were four cents, a door
key, knife and Il box of safety
matches. SeXton's friend picked up
the knife but found it so hot that his
fingers were burned. The key was
charred as though it had been in a
fire, and the leather to which it was
fastened was Scorched. Each of the
cents burned a circular spot on the
carpet where they fell. The match
box was charred all along one
side, but not match was fired. The
trousers were badly scorched. Sexton
says that he felt only slight shock.

Warning Notes Calling the Wicked to
Repentance.

Repentance.
Some people have more reputation
than character.
Many mans religion is nothing
more than a set of notions.
In the arithmetic of heaven moth
ing counts but love.
The man who loves Christ will
obey Him, no matter how much it
may cost.
There is a good deal of religion in
this world that never came from
Christ.
The poorest man is not the. ..one
that has the least, but the one who
wants the most.
There is more help in an ounce of
encouragement than there is in a ton
of good advice.
Pray for the people you don't like
and God will show you something in
them you do like.
If the whole earth could know the
truth about God today the millennium
would be here tomorrow.
You can never tell how much of a
mans heart belongs to the Lord by
knowing the size of his head.
Eloquence will sometimes provoke
righteous indignation, but it cannot
produce righteousness of life.
When some people say they are
willing to do anything for Christ,
they mean anything that can be
done without sacrifice or effort.

Cheap Telephones in Sweden.

To have a telephone in Sweden
does not cost fortune, says the
Omaha Bee. Tine fee Is only $40 a
year. The Ericsson telephone is
used. Through that telephone you
can speak with your friends in near
ly every city of the realm, and if
you want it you can even put your
self in communication with the peo,
pie of Norway and Denmark, these
countries being connected with
Sweden by telephone. For telephon>
ing in Stockholm and to places with>
in radius of fifty miles from that
city the subscriber for an Ericsson
telephone does not pay cent over
the annual fee, but for telephoning
over a longer distance an extra fee
is demanded, The fee is very mod
crate. For instance, a three>minute
conversation between the cities of
Malmo and Solefted-a distance
about twice the distance between
Detroit and Chicag costs only 27
cents, and cents extra for every
exceeding minute. Come ctiors
from the Stockholm General Tele,
phone Company's net to the govs
ernment telephone net and vice
versa are made all over Sweden, for
which a small charge of only q
cents is demanded.

| Why the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr !,
| Leaves out the Hated Word.

Why the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr i,
Leaves out the Hated Word.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.. who is
well known in Winston, delivered a
prelude to his sermon in the Academy
of Music, New York, Sunday morning
on the question, "Should women obey
their husbands ?" He said in part:
81 have never performed a marriage
ceremony in which made the woman
promise to obey her husband, and l do
not say this to advertise myself for a
multitude Of ceremonies. Moreover i
shall meyer again marry parties l do
not know. l have done it and gotten
myself into trouble, and, incidentally,
gotten other people into trouble. No
preacher has right to perform the
marriage ceremony for people he
doesn't know.
81 don't believe woman ever mar
ried a man and thoroughly obeyed
him. In the first place, object to
obedience being imposed upon the
woman. because she won't live up to
it. In the second place, she should
not be required to, because there is
nothing in the Scriptures to warrant
it. If you read the Apostle Paul, in
some places you'll find that a wife
SHouIu oUey Hef HuSoduu, yet IL OGueF
places he's dead against it, and advises
d man to have nothing at all to do
with woman.
when woman agrees to obey her
husband she acknowledges her mental
and moral inferiority. Her judgment
is higher and nobler than that of man
and she has exercised her authority in
the house hold in a nobler manner
than man has. If you ask for moral
leadership combined with intellectual
leadership a woman, Mrs. Ballington
Booth, stands at the head, and l do
not except Spurgeon or Phillips
Brooks or any other OF the great men
of the century,"
