New Electrical Device Useful to Noctur-

An electric genius has come to the
aid Of night fishermen. Men who catch
cells and other fresh water fish for the
market sometimes set as many as a dozen
lines. These must be taken up from
time to time for examination. The new
device is an arrangement by which.

HELPED BY BEING HINDERED.

There is nothing we have more cause
to be grateful for than hindrances and
obstacles. Having an easy timers haV-
ing a hard time. If we are slipping or
sliding, we are not going up hill; YET
going up hill is essential to an outlook
from alofty summit. Mountain climb
ing is better than hammock swinging
for him who would gain strength and
develop his muscles; but it requires en-
ercy and effort to resist hindrances and
overcome obstacles. 1t goes against
nature: and that is one reason why il is
better for man. If young man has
to work for living, he is more likely
to succeed than if he has everything he
wants. If his studies are not in the
| line of his incllnations, he can gam
more from them than if they were all
in the direction of his tastes and ian
cies. Even when he is interrupted IN
his studies, and is compelled by the
state of his health Or the needs OF
others to turn aside from his chosen
pursuit, he may be the gamer beyond
his highest anticipations; for his pest
self is called out in the meeting or the
enduring of unlooked-for burdens and
trials.-Sunday School Times.

ON STUDY.

No question more frequently con-
fronts the friendly adviser of readers
than that of study. Thousands who
have either had no opportunity of ac-
curing useful knowledge and the be-
ginnings of culture when young or who
neglected, through thoughtlessness or
retarded mental development, the op-
portunities that came in their way are
anxiously asking how they can make up
for lost time.
"What books can we most profitably
read?" they inquire. How should
books be read so as TO be thoroughly
mastered? How much time can be
wisely spent each day in study The
multiplicity of attractive subjects con-
fuses the thoughtful young reader who
wishes to use all his energies effectively
| It was not always so.
Professor Balm, in one of his educa-
tional essays, calls attention to the com
preston of Jewish literature in the time
of our Lord. 1t was then no difficult
matter for student to stake all knoWl
edge for his province" Eventhe litera
ture of Greece in the time of Alexander
the Great could have been thoroughly
studied by any one who had three OF
four years of leisure. Now knowledge
isdivided into departments by the dozen
and each department either has vas
literature or, as in the case of mathe
MATES, has great difficulties compressed
into small bulk.
No wonder, then, that the studiousl
inclined who have lost the advantage o
{ regular guidance from those who's
business it is to direct the acquisitio
of knowledge, seek anxiously for hint
as to how they can best improve tn

tai assimilation remains strong. Th

MASSACRE OF THE ARMENIANs
(RY GEN. T.. w. JOHNSON.

Is it not strange that in the closing
years of the nineteenth century a race
of people is being Systematically ex-
terminated for no other reason than
their Christian faith and belief: The
nutchery of the Armenlans 10y the
Turkish soldiers is too revolving, too
cruel for contemplation. With the
Sassoun massacre, which took place
sixteen months ago, some 10000 have
Deen massacred, and manyvillages and
,udivjdua!s have been forced to embrace
che Moslem faith Stores. homes,
churches and schools have been looted
and burned. \ quarter of million,
mostly women and children, have been
eft destitute of homes, food and cloth
;nr. How long will the Christian peO-
ple Of the old world stand by and per-
NIT these butcheries and atrocities to
go on? England is not silent but
powerless. Once she had a ruler who,
on hearing Of the prosecutions OF the
covenanters, sent word that they must
be stopped, and the mandate was
obeyed. But Cromwell is dead. The
Armenians have an authentic history
dating back three thousand years and
for several centuries had a Kingdom
of their own. They accepted Chris
tianitv in the third century and be
came a Christian government and ma
ton. Since then they have been sub
lect to repeated prosecutions, martyr
doms and massacres. Their Kingdom
was overthrown by the Turks in 139'
and their King, Leo VI, fled to Paris
where he soon thereafter died. Not
withstanding the great ditficultle
under which they have. labored the.

CONVERSATION.

To converse easily, so as to make the
best possible impression upon the
hearer, is a rare gift, only secured by
those who give diligent thought and
careful study of knowledge of speak
ing and writing. This line of educa-
tion is considered the prime necessity
in order to reach the best grade of cltl-
zenship. The most thoroughly pre-
pared citizen for the active duties OF
life, both public and private, is the per
son who has trained his or her mind to
convey thoughts to other people IN
manner most pleasing. The words OF

a lOud-mouthed person crate on the
nerves of mild-tempered people, and
the expressions, however full Of intel
ligenee. are more or less meaningless
to the ears of sensitive persons. The
mild clear voice portrays good man
ners and tends to elevate the standard
of elf-respect. as well as strengthen
the respect of the hearer for the speaker.
The practice Of framing thoughts into
proper words and weaving them into
well rounded sentences is an element
of education far more important than
any other branch of study. 1t places
the possessor in a position to easily de-
fend the attack of a thick tongued
enemy and gain the desired point.
There is probably no branch of educa-
ton in which the American people as
whole are less capable of holding
their own than that of English. The
average lawyer can talk the average
farmer out of his boots so quickly as
to leave him standing in amaZement

conversational power upon topics OF
public interest may cause people to

affairs of popular institutions. AS
government justly administered is the
| result of active medltatlOns upon the
part of it's subjects, it necessarily fol-
lows that the time of it's duration would
be shortened should the people allow
the power of education to become cen
tered among small part of the popu-
IatiOn. The main trouble with us to-
dav as to the reason why we have so
seriously failed to manage our pubic
interests is our lack of having taken ad-
vantage of the educational facilities IN
our own reach.
To gain useful information as to the
art of conversation it is as important
to be silent listener as it is to take part
in the discussion of any interesting
subject. Silence is golden under GER
, tain surroundings, as very frequently

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

In the Indian Territory the whipping
post has an established place in the ad-
ministration of the law. Persons con-
yicted of violations of the statutes are
sentenced to receive so many lashes on
the back, instead of being sent to the
penitentiary, as is the custom III the
States and other Territories of the
Union. The punishment is publicly in
hicted, and the sheriff or deputy sheriff
calls the attention of the crowd to the
execution of the law in the same man.

announce the opening of court. This
call is frequently coupled with a speech
in behalf of law and order, and warm
ing to all to have due respect for the
laws of the country, lest they meet a
! fate like the eindividualnowb before them.
! The whipping post is good, safe and
effective method furnishing criminals.
1t is deterrent of crime and gives So
ciety better protection than lmprlson-
ment in penitentiaries; it makes an inn
!, preston, not only on the mind Of the
victim, but also on those that witness
it. that will never be forgotten. The
criminal is put on probation for time
but not OStraciZed or isolated from So
ciety. He is still member and friend
of society, not an enemy. Placing d
man behind the bars deprives him OF
the fellowship Of his kind, and makes
him feel that the law is his enemy anC
not his friend. AS proof that the
whipping post IS better deterrent o.
crime than imprisonment, | will cite {
case that happened in the Choctaw ma

HAD AN EASY DAY OF TT.
Mr.. Bryan Delighted With His Cam
paigning in Kentucky.

Mayesville, KY, Sept. 15.-"An easy
day" was the way Candidate Bryan
characterized the campaigning exper-
ience which ended tonight at Mayes-
vile. At nearly every place where he
spoke the rain fell heavily and the big
assemblage that heard him here to-
night stood in a driving storm.
Mr.. Bryan said it manifested great
interest in campaign when people
came long distance and stood in the
rain to listen to a political speech.
people should vote for what they be-
lieve to be their interest. There is a
scarcity of money now while the de-
mand for it is increasing. When you
make gold to fill decayed teeth and
make engagement rings and use itin the
arts and furnish enough for the Kelley
cure, it does not leave enough gold for
use as money. Down to 1878, silver
was the companion of gold as money.
All we ask is to restore it to it's place
before the act of 1887"
Mr.. Bryan reached here at 7:15, and
after speaking a few minutes, went
back to his special train and left on
it Mt $40 for Lexington, where he took
a Queen and Crescent train at 10:45

unanimously voted down:

fight it. The chances for Democracy
are better than ever before.
