Now we don't expect Mr.. Bryan to

The reform must begin right there.
This last congress spent at least
5000, 900, 900 more than was necessary,

A Yankee Captain 0utwitted.

Captain Farrow, of Islesboro, tells a
good story on himself which occurred
few years ago, while he was trading
at Key West. 1t was case where a
Yankee was outwitted by a Southern
er. The captain was trading in small
vessel, and had been up the coast to
Tampa Bay, where he purchased 20
dozen chickens, paying 81 dozen.
The chickens ran all the way in size
from f W days old to full grown ones.
At Key West hotel landlord came
along and asked the captain how he
sold his chickens. The captain re-
piled: "If you pick them out I shall
charge Sc per dozen if you let ME
pick them out, you can have them at
So per dozen. call right" said the
hotel man, ''you pick them out. The
captain selected several dozen Of the
smallest, when the man said: $50
ahead, l want more" i" The captain
was now among his largest fowls, and
wished the man would stop, but he
still said, ego on. The captain saw
the point at last. The man kept him
selecting until he purchased the entire
lot at loss of $50 to the owner. Af-
ter this the captain sold his chickens
on different plan.

Heroism of q Woman's Love.

The keen stroke Of the surgeons
blade along the slender nerves, shoot
ing currents of agony to every fibre
and torturing every muscle, causes the
physically bravest of us to quail, even
when it is vitally necessary to undergo
the pain, and something like Spartan
courage is needed when one voluntarily
goes through with the experience
solely for another s sake.
DR.. Jarnigan tells story, in the At
lanta Constitution, and it is out Of his
own professional experience, that has
for its heroine woman who did this
bravely unsel6sh thing.
Her husband S arm had been crushed
in the machinery. The hard folds Of
muscle had been fattened and the
bone had been crushed. The arm,
bruised and discolored, was bad enough
to look upon, but it gave no indication
of the excruciating torture Of pain the
man had to undergo. 1t was thought
at first by the doctor that his arm
would have to come of-the good right
arm that supported the good brave
wife who stood by his side, and the
serious, anxious-faced children who
stood looking on. He begged them to
save his arm, his wife begged them
and fortunately the condition of the
case permitted them to.
But the arm did not heal. The skin
sloughed away from the wounded sur
face and left it raw and sore. The
doctors saw that it was necessary to
graft portions of skin to the surface
to bring about cure. They told the
sick man of it and they barred his side
to cut off the strips Of skin to put over
the raw arm.
The blade flashed into the mans
side, the blood spurted out and with
moan the man fell over IN faint sick
ened by the pain. His wife had been
watching, her sympathetic heart touch
ed to its depths by the sight of her
husbands suffering.
doctor, don't do that again., she
begged. "Don't cut any more. He
is too weak and has suffered too much.
Cut it off me. Won't that do p
The doctor told her that it would:
She coolly barred her arm and told
them she was ready. The razor edged
blade sunk into the flesh and wentrip-
ping down, followed by tiny fountain
of blood. She did not vince. Dex-
terously, expertly the doctors slit out
piece Of skin and grated it over the
mans arm. Another and another
piece was cut out, until more thar a
dozen had been removed, and all the
while the Spartan woman remained
standing watching the swift flash of
the knife, the springing of the warm
blood and the sickening spectacle with
out shrieking once.
The husbands arm grated over
with skin taken from his wife's arm is
now we'll, and the arm of the brave
woman is fast healing up, leaving
many long scars chat will ever bear
evidence to the heroism of her love.

Of it the world, sinful as it is, is pre-
served. God can't destroy righteous
ness or the family Of the righteous.
Justice has no power by which it can
touch the righteous, obedient man.
Now the very moment the sinner be-
lieves he becomes righteous, Christs
righteousness is appropriated and he
saved from all of his sins; but not be-
cause he is holy, because he is not
Noah was saved, but not because Of
his holiness. So with Lot and Abra-
ham, and so with the list of worthless
found in the 18th chapter of Hebrews
They were all sinners, but with this
difference, that their status towards
Gods was changed. They were taken
from under law and put under grace.
The homicide was safe the moment he
entered the city of refuge, {no matter
how close and fierce the avepger was)
but he was no less man slayer-get-
ting into the city did not make him
innocent-but it changed his relation
to law.
Salvation by faith is constitutional
because faith is the only means by
which we can appropriate the right
eousness Of another. The blood on
the doorpost in Egypt saved the Is
raelite because he believed. So the
righteousness of Christ saves the be-
lever and not the unbeliever. By
faith, says the Apostle, ye are saved.
Faith is not the power, but the instru-
ment by which we are saved. 1t is the
rope let down from heaven. So all
things are possible to him that be-
lievcth. We are not saved because
we are sinless, but because we believe
in the righteousness of Christ.
Salvation by faith is constitutional
because whatsoever is not of faith is
sin. The ploughing of the wicked is
sin. No matter how great your work
without faith it is sin. A fearful con-
dition, yet the true condition Of every
upbeliever.
In conclusion some one may ask,
why the law? If the law is not to
keep, why give it? Paul says il is the
sin master to bring us to Christ.
Paul says the commandment came, sin
revived and I died. The law opens
the eyes, gives the knowledge Of sin.
We keep the law not to be saved, but
because We are saved.

A Trip About the World.

Marcus Fl. Rogers, who returned in
October from tour around the world
which consumed a year and ten days,
writes to the Great Darlington (Mass.)
Courier: "To sum up the general re-
suits of the trip, the distance Travelled
during the long journey was 27,500
miles, CT which 10000 were on land.
And it gives some idea of the watery
surface of the globe to say that the
time consumedsin the various ocean
passages amou$sd to sizty-one days.
We lived or stSslsners for two or three
days more while stopping in port, but
the actual sailing time was sixty-one
days. And, barring the thirteen days
in crossing the Pacific, not more than
three or four days of the remaining
forty. eight but what the sea, was as
smooth as a mill pond, which we
counted as blessing to indifferent sail
ors.
"The nearest approach to the equa-
tor was at Singapore, which is within
sixty miles Of it, and it is so near that
the sun rises and sets within two
minutes of 6 o clock the year round.
And at Singapore we were exactly
halfway around the world. for when
it was noon at Singapore it was Just
midnight in New England. The eli
mate at Singapore is also without
change the year round. During the
entire trip we experienced no cold
weather and saw only two frosts-one
at Agra and one at Darjeeling, in
India. At the latter place we saw
mountains Of snow, but they we're forty
five miles away.
"We passed through thirteen custom
houses, besides a great mum Der of
'douanes, where 'octroi' duties are
collected upon all articles of food in
Europe, such collections being for the
support Of the city government. Of
all the custom houses passed through
we had most bother at those entering
Japan, France and England. Closest
examination was made at New York,
with the largest exercise OF common
sense.
"The most interesting country visit
ed in the trip is Japan; the constant
courtesy and natural desire to please
others around them; the universal
condition of cleanliness; kindness to
children, old people and animals; their
curious customs and their considera-
tion for strangers make them the most
delightful people to travel among that
T know of on the face of the earth.
Beggars are not numerous, but in India
there are more beggars than have seen
in any country ever visited-and we
have passed winter in Spain. We
stopped at si1ty-one hotels during the
trip, some of them, of course, for
only a night. The largest stop at any
one pl was thirty-nine days at
Rome.
CATER all these wide wanderings, l
am confident that in-no other country
in the world do the common people
have greater advantages or enjoy more
Of the comforts and privileges Of
life, where the opportunities Of ad-
vancement and prosperity are so open
to whoever will make use of them, or
where the burdens Of government are
SO lightly felt as in these United
States of America. "

of the continental money that clrcu-
lated during the revolutionary war
and kept on getting worse and worse
just like our confederate money did.
But we got along finely with confede'
rate money as long as there was any
thing to trade on. The higher the
price of things the more money there
was to buy with and a man felt sorter
rich with a big roll of it in his pocket,
even if it did take 5000 to buy a pair
of cotton cards. In times Of trouble
the people have to get used to things,

coffee. 1t is all in getting used to
things. The war was so much worse

their own shinplasters, and everybody
took them. l have dozen different

it be silver or gold or greenbacks.
But we do want something done to
revive our industries and put the

An Interesting Fourth of July Race
by the NJ. Y. C. LII. 90

The Fourth of July race of the Minnetonka
Yacht club was sailed yesterday morning,
with result satisfactory to all crews al
though 1t was neither an exciting nor a fast
race. The weather conditions were unusual
but not unfavorable. The drizzling rain that
swept at intervals across the lake was &C.
companied by wind which, vary as it might
never failed utterly.
The winners in the several classes were
Tartar, sailed by William Peet; Bird, R.. T.
Rolph; Varuna, Theodore Wetmore; Pap
poose, Thomas Bracket. To state the re-
suits, does net tell the tale of the race for
1t was one of the most interesting sailing
events in the history of the yacht club.
Not only was there long list of entries.
" boats passing the starting buoy but the
boats of the different classes were nitted
against each other throughout the course
in way that brought about numerous con-
tests between the buoys. Therefore the in
terest.
Part of the race was sailed in cloudy
weather part in fair. Driving rain alternated
with misty drizzle. and the wind was fiuky.

sional black squalls that blew up rain, or
lapsing to a gentle breeze held the sails LIST

middle of the course that sent the yachts
scuddying before the breeze bellying every
stitch OF canvas, but there was never q
break, nor a mishap, from start to finish or
the twenty-five that entered the race twenty
rounded the home buoy. Every boat stood
up nobly, and happier lot of yachtsmen
never put ashore than those who moored their
winged craft to the club house piers after
the race was over.
All classes started but class D. second
class cats, and although John Shaw brought
his Oswa up from Gideon's Bay, he could
not find enough mates to fill the list of
entries. Three boats necessary to start

it was the big cat Varuna. that stood out
like a soldier equally conscious of victory,
beating to windward or running free. The
largest list of entries was for Glass A, in
which 10 big sloops made the race complete.
The corrected time of the winning Tartar
was 1859 26, figuring her time allowance. In
actual time the Breezy Point sloop Charlotte,
made the course in 2:00:39. against 2:00:52 for
Tartar. The corrected time allowance time for
Charlotte was 2:00:04 which left Tartar a win
