Weary OF seII.Made Mems Brag.

Mr.. Moody has a popular and very
telling way of hitting" the errors
which are so rife in the theological
thinking of many persons to-day.
Speaking of salvation by grace, he
says: s'It is well that man can't save
himself; for if man could only work
his own way to heaven you never
would hear the last of it. Why, down
here in this world, if man happens to
get a little ahead of his fellows, and
scrapes few thousand dollars to-
gether, you'll hear him Dragging about
his being "a self-made man, and tell
ing how he began as poor boy ana
worked his way up in the world. I've
heard so much of this sort of thing
that I'm sick and tired of the whole
business, and I'm glad we shan't have
men Dragging through all eternity
how they worked their way into
heaven. st. Louis Mid Continent.

It was in the village of West Troy, New

andsoen after crossing the pretty Hudsonthe
reporter was successful, in locating his man,
Lewis Ferguson.
MIR, Ferguson was found at his work in the
large box shop of Harrington & Co., where
he is engaged as foreman. He greeted the
scribe pleasantly and in conversation Dr.
Williams Pink Pills were spoken OF. Wnefe-
upon Mr.. Ferguson's face frightened and he
began to tell of the good the pills had done
for him.
Mr. Ferguson said: "About two years ago

left side was affected. heard OF the merits
OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. I think that perhaps used half

Man in the Glacial PERIOD.

Much of the doubt as to the pres
ence of man in the glacial period
arises, first, from the arguments OF
those who will not admit that early
man was of the most remote antiquity,
and who turn every new fact discover
ed to suit their case, and, secondly.
because OF the non-comprehension of
possibilities of mans existing at all in
the glacial period. Professor G. F.
Wright asks what are the conditions
of the tribes to-day in Alaska? They
are pretty similar to those which sur.
rounded the man of the glacial period.
The Eskimos are not, after all, SO un-
comfortable. The mistake made is to
consider that man of the glacial period
was forced to live right in the ice. He
probably dwelt alongside of it and so
managed to exist. New York Times.

to their surroundings as animals, and
that their sensibilities must be touched
to gain the best results. He has made
lifelong study of fruit trees and

A Mushroom Town.

A gentleman who lately returned
from a visit to Astoria, says that while
there he went over to look at what the
Astorians call the mushroom town.

the rivalry between the two terminal
cities, but he says that in the line OF
mushrooms he has never seen any thing
equal the Flavel town site and vicinity.
There were acres and acres literally
covered with the nutritious and de-
licious fungus, which are Of astonlsh-

There were others nearly as large. and
