shapeless mass beneath the railroad en-

The accident occurred about o'clock.
Darkness had settled over the valley, and
heavy mist added to its intensity. The
trolley car, guided by Motormun Cumfer
had stopped just this side of the crossing,
and the conductor had gone into the
trolley station to deposit the mail pouch.
The station is between two tracks of the
railroad, which are thirty feet apart The
first of these had been crossed i'm safety,
and the conductor, returning from the
station, had given the signal to go ahead.
just as the car reached the second track
engine No. was seen coming down the
track. BY that time Cumfer had the car
half way across the track, and the engine
was almost upon him The engine was in
charge of Daniel Gallagher and was COM
ing along tank first. The trolley was filled
with passengers, and the motOrman, See
ing his only chance was to get across the
track first speeded his cur. But the time
was too short The engine caught the rear
end of the car and tore it from the main
portion, which was thrown over an en-
bankment into a swamp.
kirschner, who was standing or sitting
near the rear end of the car, was caught
by the engine and was dragged over hun
dred yards down the track before the en-
ginc could be stopped and his almost un-
recognizable remains taken from beneath
it, leaving a trail of blood behind.

MAKESHIFTS.

1t is wonderful how little downright
honesty men have in dealing either with
themselves or others, how hard it is for
men to face the facts and meet them as
they are.
We are forever concealing, covering up,
explaining away. We refuse to see the
thing just as it is. We give it another
name if we can do no better, and imagine
that the new name has, somehow, conferred
new nature. The laborious way in which
people lie to themselves is one of the saddest
things we know.
Did ever sinner actually face his sins
honestly and call it by its honest name?
Surely never, unless led by the grace of
God. Till he is so led TO real self-knowl-
edge and downright, real repentance, he is
always excusing, always making apologies,
always, il he can do no better inventing
softer names for it, and baptizing the foul
birth of hell with an alias.
1t might be supposed that if honesty
were to be found anywhere it would be
found in religion. And yet, possibly, no.
where are men more dishonest, nowhere
are they more dcluded by makeshifts than
in matters religious. --The Church Standard.

FIRESIDE HAPPINESS.

The late Oliver Wendell Holmes one said
that his idea of perfect happiness was when
four feet were on the fender. During the
latter part of his life friend, coming in
and finding him in a detected state of
mind, asked, ''What is the matter my
friend?" Mr.. Holmes looked up with a
look of sorrow and said: Don't you see?

ness -Reformed Church Messenger.

CHARITY.

Charity is a word so common that to
They assign it to a corner with the poor,
but it is as broad as the disk of the sun.
Charity moves alike toward the rich and
the poor. That was charitable act which
interrupted Mr.. Whitfield as he was lifting
his hands to pray, when one cried out,
''Prayers are desired for young man who
has suddenly become rich.' Charity is
manifest in the smile on the neighbor's
face. Often there is more real charity
shown in kind look or word in the diver
sion of tried soul from gust of temper
than in the endowment of an orphan asylum.

BE TRUE TO PERSONAL DUTY.

There is general disposition to measure
ourselves by others. So far as duty is con-
cerned, nothing could be more dangerous.
We lack the data for an absolutely correct
estimate of others. Possibly we may cor
rectly judge. But what Others do Or neglect
to do, at least apart from relations to us
really does not determine or modify our
duty What is due from me? What ought
| to do? These are the vital and pertinent
questions for each individual -Westel II

disputable fact Consumption is not a dis
ease of the lungs 1t is a disease of the

ifests itself by the formation of tubercles
in the lungs and the wasting away of lung
tissue. The cure for consumption is simple.
1t consists in the administration of medi-
cine that will assist the lungs in throwing
of tuberculous matter, and that will cleanse
the system so that this refuse matter will be
replaced by strong, healthy tissues. That
sounds like very simp.e operation, and
yet consumption baf1led the combined med
ical skill of the whole world for hundreds
of years. Consumption was considered in
durable until the advent of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This great
remedy is the most wonderful blood purifier
and strengthened that the world has ever
known. 1t is the result of years of study
and experiment, by scientific physician
and has been tested in every way by him
for over 80 years. 1t has an unbroken
record of success. 1t cures great variety
of diseases, because almost all diseases
have their origin and support in impurity
and weakness of the blood. AS long as a
mans blood is rich and pure, he is in no
danger from diseases The blood is the
medium through which food is carried from
the digestive system to all of the tissues of
the body If it carries impure things, or
an insufficient quantity of good things,
trouble will ensue There is nothing about
that SO very hard to understand 1t IS per-
fectly plain and natural and rational. The
Golden Medical Discovery" puts the di-
gestive system in perfect order, purifies
and enriihes the blood and so puts the
whole body into perfect tune.
