General Booths Tour.

In a recent interview, General Will

the above, quantity of miscellaneous
work has been got through, including
forty-seven articles for our periodicals
and forty-eight press interviews. lie

They Make a Family Party.

The recent fine spring weather has
brought the south side treat in the
shape OF brand-new piano-organ,
drawn about on four substantial wheels
by comfortable, well-fed horse. The
huge instrument Is gay in bright
green cover, and its tunes are the latest
additions to the popular street songs.
The chief charm of this elaborate out
fit, however, is the family which ac-
companies it-a man, a woman and a
fine big 1S-months-old baby. While
the father holds his cap under the win
dows of aristocratic nurseries, the
mother bravely grinds out the stirring
tunes, and the baby, perched high on
the front seat, laughs and crows in hap
by content. During the rides from one
stopping place to another, the whole
trio ranges itself on the wide cushioned
seat, chatting as gayly as though Ill this
wealth were not the fruit OF pennies
nicked up one at time.-Ex.

LET Your Light So Shine. /"

AS an illustration of the need of keep
ing the lower lights burning, d. L..
Moody often relates the following:
"A few years ago, at the mouth of
Cleveland harbor, there were two lights,
one at each side of the bay, called the
upper and lower lights; and to enter
the harbor safely by night, vessels must
sight both of these lights.
These western lakes are sometimes
more dangerous than the great ocean.
One wild, stormy night, steamer was
trying to make her way into the har-
Dor. The captain and pilot were anx-
iously watching for the lights. BY and
by the pilot was heard to say, DO you
see the lower light?'
"'No,' was the reply; I fear we have
passed them
"'Ah, there are the lights said the
pilot, and they must be, from the bluff
on which they stand, the upper lights
We have passed the lower lights, and
have lost our chance of getting into the
harbor.'

A Family of ShakerA.

Robert Dale Owen, has made famous,

Of but few houses, but it is noted as
the home of ague. Not ordinary chills
and fever, but the shaking kind of ague,
where the chattering teeth play waltz
and every bone in the body keeps time
to the music.
One OF the houses Is occupied by a
man OF an inventive turn of mind, who
is blessed with family consisting of a
wife and ten children. He has gone
into the dairy business and in his spring
house is large churn, operated by a.
spring board. Every day butter is made
and the way it is churned is unique.
The proprietor of the little dairy ex-
planned its operation to his neighbor.
"You see," he said, none of us do
any extra work, so call it clean profit.
