And now I close with giving my own personal testimony, for must not en- join upon others that which I decline myself to do. Born at Bound Brook, N. J., of parentage as pious as the world ever saw, attest before earth and heav- en that have always felt the elevating and restraining influence of having had a good father and good mother, and if 1 am able to do half as we'll for my children as the old folks did for me will be thankful forever. The years of my life passed on until, at about A18 years of age, felt the pressure of eter- nal realities. and after prayer and reli- gious counsel passed into what I took to be saved state and joined the church, and I attest before earth and heaven that I have found it most helpful and inspiring association. like the con- panionship so well that I cannot be sat isfied if have day less of 1t than all eternity. After graduating at collegiate and theological institutions l had the hands of 1U or 12 good men put upon my head ill solemn ordination, at Belle vile, N J.. and l attest before earth and heaven that the work of the gospel min istry has been delightful. and 1 expect to preach until my last hour. Many times have passed through deep water of bereavement and but for the divine promise of heavenly reunion would have gone under, but l attest before earth and heaven that the comfort of the gospel is high, deep, glorious, eternal. Many times have been maligned and my work misrepresented, but all such falsehood and persecution have turned out for my advantage and enlarged my work, and I attest before earth and heaven that God has fulfilled to me the promises, "Lol aln with you alway," and "The gates of hell shall not prevail against you.
 For the cheer of younger men in all departments let me say you will come out all right if you mind your own busi- ness and are patient. The assault of the world is only being rubbed down by a rough Turkish towel, and it improves the circulation and makes one more wig orous. While the future holds for me many mysteries which do not pretend to solve, l am living in expectation that Nueu ny pOuI WOih ID uluC, Il rbaiA SO through the gates and meet my Lord upd all my kindred who have preceded me, precious group whom miss more and more as the years go by, and attest be | fore earth and heaven that the glories of the heavenly world illumine my path way. In courts of law the witness may kiss the Bible or lift his right hand ill oath, but as have often kissed the dear ] old book now lift my right hand and take oath by him that liveth forever and ever that God is good, and that the gos- pei Is mighty consolation in days of trouble, and that the best friend man pver had is Jesus, and that heaven is ab- solutely sure to those who trust and serve the blessed Redeemer, to whom be | glory and dominion and victory and song and chorus of white robed immor- tals, standing on seas of glass mingled

Medicnf Students In Revolt.

Medical students were on the strike both at Athens and Moscow recently, these indeed Gas the ancient Greek his torian loved to put it) because five ladies had been admitted into the Attic uni versity, but the Moscovites because they are dissatisfied with the Russian govern ment In the Aoropolis city the students were divided, the eternal womanly coming between them. Some cried out to accept the necessary evil and some raised discord of dissent. Matters came to crisis in the chemical laboratory when two stpdents-one from Arcadia (strange context) and the other from Asia Minor--discussed the matter with one revolver between them. and Asia Minor was carried of to the hospital on stretcher.
 In Moscow the university youth has been boycotting Professor Sacharin, the famous doctor of the late ozar, their grievance against him being that he is court physician. They refused to attend his lectures, but Sacharin calmly re- marked, "They need me, I don't need them, and proposed to give his lectures in m empty room.

Experiments With AcetyIene Results In a
 Serious Disaster In Connecticut.
 NEW II AyEN, Jan. 22.--A tremendous explosion of gas occurred in the factory of Frank F. Pflcgar x Co, located in the building of English & MerTick, on Crown street at the foot of Orange street and near tho corner of Little Orange street. One man wns instantly killed by the explosion, two others lost their lives In the fierce fire which followed, the buildings and contents were totally destroyed, and loss of sl00,- 900 was caused. The dead are:
 Joseph c. Hauser, maehinist, aged 3S, killed by the explosion; body frightfully mangled.
 Thomas Toof, aged 40, burned to death body almost burned away,
 Harbona Stevens, aged a4, body horribly burned; Identified by papers found in pockets.
 The injured are: Frank ?. Phegar, Sr, burned about face and arms; Frank C.. Richter, James T. MeNeil, Alexis Krah, a foreman, all burned and bruised.
 The loss will prove total to the owners of the building and the tenants. English tS Merrick's loss Is placed at s60, 900, of which s45, ,000 is on the stock. Frank P. Phegar & Son will lose $25, 900, mostly in valuable machinery; E. T. Toof's loss Is placed at sl0,000, and George Perry, Q rivet maker, will lose about 5000. Al though the loss will not reach a figure much In excess of si00, 900, there is insur- anoe on the property amounting to Sl33, 900. It appears that in order to use acety- lene in building n special permit must be obtained. This had not been done in this case, and 1t Is likely that contest will be made against the claims for insur- anoa

DoK Eating In Mexico.

The dog meat business continues, de- spite the stern examples that have been made of its vendors. A policeman seized a man named Genaro Perez, passing through the alley of Los Gachupines, who bore a suspicious looking bag, which, on examination, disclosed the skinned carcass of large dog with the lower part ot the legs cut of so as to pre- vent the easy recognition of its species. M. Perea was taken to the police station to the third Demarcacion to be examined as to the antecedents of his dog meat, which. it is shrewdly suspected, was des- tined to be made into savory dishes sold at the puestos under tho arcades. We are getting fast to be like Canton and other big Chinese towns, where dog is sold without shame and partaken of with gusto. Mexican Herald.
