Editor Dana's Tribute to the Bible.

Young aspirants for journalism
honors will find in Mr.. Charles A
Dana's cart of Newspaper-Making
some things which they may care
to see. This book is made Of three
lectures recently delivered in var
ious places. From the first lee.
ture, which was given before the
Wisconsin Editorial Association,
we extract the following:
"What books ought you to
read? There are some books that
are indispensable-a few books.
Almost all books have their use,
even the silly ones, and an omp ri.
vorous reader, il he reads intelli-
gently, never need FEEL that his
time is wasted, even when he be-
slows it on the flimsiest trash
that is printed; but there are
some books that are absolutely
indispensable to the kind OF edu-
cation that we are contemplating
and to the profession that we are
considering; and Of all these the
most indispensable, the most USE
full, the one whose knowledge is
most effective, is the Bible. There
is no book from which more valu.
able lessons can be learned. l am
considering it now not as a relig-
ious book, but as a manual OF
utility, Of professional preparation
and professional use for a journa.
list. There is perhaps no book
whose style is more suggestive
and more instructive, from which
you learn more directly that sub.
time simplicity which never ex.
aggerates, which recounts the
greatest events with solemnity, OF
course, but without sentimentality
or affectation; none which you
open with such confidence and lay
down with such reverence. There
is no book like the Bible. When
you get into a controversy and
want exactly the right answer
when you are looking for an ex.
preston, what is there that closes
a dispute like a verse from the
Bible? What is it that sets up the
right prinpiple for you, which
pleads for a policy, for a cause, sc
much as the right passage Of Holy
Scripture?

There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to Cham berlain's
Pain Balm. When it is kept at
hand the severe pain of a burn or
scald may be promptly relieved
aad the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamma-
tion sets in, which insures a cure
in about one-third the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate atten-
ton, before the parts become swol-
len, and when Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and
without leaving a scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night.
A piece of flannel dampened with
this liniment and bound on over
the seat OF pain, will cure lame
back or pain in the side or chest in
twenty-four hours. 1t is the most
valuable, however, for rheuma-
tism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt lelief from pain which il
affords, and it can be depended
upon to effect complete cure. Fol

Four Favored COnvictfng Percival

The original Indictment against the Cof-
fins contained fifty counts. During the last
trial but seventeen counts were relied on
by the prosecution. OF this number the
jury sustained but seven. Six of these
counts charged the misapplication of the
funds of the Indianapolis National Bank.
and one charged the aiding and abetting OF
the false entries. The jury sustained the
counts as follows: Fourth count. misappli-
cation of 1872, May 20. 1885; ninth count,
misapplcation of funds by the exchange of
drafts July H. 1893; eleventh count. misap-
plication of 1850, July II. 1898; twelfth
count misapplication of $3.50 July IL. 1893;
thirteenth count, misapplication of funds
by checks. May q. 1893. The fourteenth
count related TO the misapplication OF a
certain sum which was drawn out by
checks. One of these checks, it was as
serted by the government, was sent TO
i'm payment for gowns which she had made
for Mrs. Frank Coffin. The thirty-ninth
count related to false entry, on May 9

of Francis Coffin. 1t was averred that this
paper was put in the bank to. take the
place of worthless paper drawn on custom
ers of the cabinet company. This was the
only count charging false entries on which
the government made its case. In the
event of new trial the defendant can only
be tried on the counts above named.
1t is said that Thomas Boyd, foreman of
the jury, held out for the conviction OF both
of the Collins until yesterday afternoon.
Votes were taken separately on the guilt or
innocence of each OF the defendants. and
had Frank Coffin alone been on trial the
jury would have been ready TO report

the case OF Percival Coffin resulted in eight
for acquittal and four for conviction. Two
of the latter were won over some time

According to the latest advices DIR. Smith
had been stopped by the Abyssinian army,
and IL is feared that he has had to re-
trace his steps and go in a southwesterly
direction. He may have thus got behind
the district where the British are now
fighting Mowruk, at Mweli, on the British
East African coast. and have been caught
by the natives. 1t is hoped. however, that
when he heard of the fighting, DIR. Smith
made detour in which case he would be
heard of from the neishborhood of Lake
Tanganyiki or along the German or Eng
lish lake routes.
DR.. Donaldson Smith, who is a resident
of Philadelphia, started from England in
the latter part Of May, 1894, for the Somali
coast with the object of reaching Lakes

was stopped by the Abyssinians in force
when five days march from the great lakes
and compelled to turn back. He attempted
TO make his way to the lakes without the
knowledge of the Abyssinians, but, on
broad plateau, they were suddenly sur
prised by a large body Of Abyssinian
troops who advanced in what seemed a

land for sport, and has been seized with the
ambition to accomplish one of the few i'm
