Complaint Is made that in the Cape
Cod cranberry boys the native pickers
have been supplanted by Italians, Firms
and Swedes and that thus another
American industry has passed into the
hands Of foreigners. In regard to an
other and more celebrated New England
industry, that Of whaling, visitors to
the cape Of recent years have not failed
to notice that Portuguese immigrants
and West Indian negroes form the bulk
of the crews.

The panic Of 1857 was followed by q
religious revival that swept over the en-
tire country. The panic Of 1873 was
followed by another remarkable reviv.
al. Moody and Sankey's big meetings
in the big cities were held at that time.
The success that has attended Moody
and Sankey's recent meetings in New
York city leads many to believe that
another widespread revival is to follow
the panic of 1893.

SHE CARRIES THE MAIL.
Flucky Ida Minton und Her Life In the
Mountains.

Plucky Ida Minton and Her Life In the
Mountains.
The road from Castlow to anderson
Vile is through one OF the toughest re-
gions of Kentucky, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Robberes are frequent, and
many brave man has hesitated and
looked well to his gun before entering
on the trip. To Mrs. Minton, however,
the highway has no terrors. She enjoys
the unique distinction Of being proba-
bly, the only female mail-carrier IN
Uncle Sans service who rides horse
back fearlessly through the forests
with her pouch, which contains the
missives which are the only means OF
communication with the world at large
TO the residents of Andersonville.
She is a typical Kentucky mountain
girl, active, strong, fearless and very
intelligent. She is an excellent horse
woman. No animal is too high spirited
for her, nor does she need help in
mounting and dismounting With tho
mail pouch thrown across the pommel
Of her saddle, she rides fearlessly along
the lonely highway, and It is safe to
say that anyone interfering with Uncle
Sans mail would have to be a better
and quicker shot than the ordinary
man, or very well mounted, to stop the
mail.
Mrs. Minton has been married two
years. It was from her own inclination
to help earn money that she took the
contract to carry the mails for three
years. She has now completed eight
months Of her contract.

VALET AND MASTER,
A Count who Was Not Hero to His

A Count who Was Not Hero to His
MAN"
The passenger list of the Rio de
Janeiro on her last visit to this port
included several wealthy and titled
Italian gentlemen. All were hur-
rying home on account of the dis
quieting war and political news.
One of the travellers, an
aged and richly dressed man of
singularly attractive dignity
of bearing and with a
remarkably strong and intellectual
face, had a valet and interpreter.
This factotum was American born.
He was a native son of the Golden
West and acted and talked up to
the honor. The Count and his
valet called in HOLSTERS tobacco
house for some merchandise and
postage stamps. In the course
of the purchasing the aged man
made several inquiries in grace
full manner and with charming
voice. At the third or fourth ques
ton the valet thought he was
being imposed upon and burst Out
with: "Hully Gee, but these Da-
goes is stupid" Mr.. Parmenter
of the house, made for back room
and Geo. w. Smith, who happened
to be calling, struck for the from
door. The next they heard wa:
the valet saying to his master
Here, you take these letters to tn,
postoffice. The tramp will do yot
good" at the same time pointing
out the letter house.

WILL BE RECOGNITION
SUCH Is THE ARGUMENT OF EVAN.
GELIsT ROMIG


Rev. Romig used as a text for
his sermon on Future Recogni-
ton" the latter clause Of the second
verse of the third chapter of first
John, but we know that. when he
shall appear, we shall belike Him for
we shall see Him as he is" We are
tod by those who object to the
doctrine of future recognition that
we shall be "featuTeless, rUi miess
spirits" Where does this idea come
fromi Certainly not from the
Bible. The Bible says God is
Spirit" not "a spirit" Paul says
there is a natural body and a
spiritual body.
Moses and Elijah appeared tc
Christ on the Mount Of Trans6gura
ton and talked of the future will
Him.
Paul's experience was so real tina
he did not know whether it was II
the flesh or not.
Also there is the case Of the ricl
man and Lazarus. AS a positiv,
example of recognition Stephen saw
and recognized Jesus in glory whil'
he was being stoned to death.
We shall meet again, we shall
know each other there. Jesus said
II go to prepare a place for you.
What pleasure could there be il
such a promise to his disciples i
they could not recognize him?
The sermon throughout was ar
earnest appeal to the better nature
of men to strive for the things tina
pertain to the spiritual realm ant
the life which will have no end.
