The Electric Candle.

The electric candle is III great request
in England for the lighting and decora-
ton of dining and other tables An in
genious device for lighting the candles is
provided by placing small pads under
the tablecloth, and taking the current
from them by means Of two pin points
In the base Of the candlestick. The can
dies of course are extingulshed on being
taken from the table and are relighted
when they are replaced in the proper po-
sition. They are SO arranged that the
bulb and the glass imitation Of a wax
candle can be removed, when the can
dlestick can be used for an ordinary can
die. When used with shades OF colored
silk, the electric candle makes one Of
the prettiest additions to dinner table
that is possible to imagine. -Machin,st,

Subscription So per Year.

THE Chicago Tribune facetiously
remarks that a Minnesota farmer
named Hines, who owned nothing but
quarter section of mortgaged land
and d spawned team of horses, sud
denly concluded that the country was
being robbed by railroads, and the
farmers must build a railroad Of their
own. Continuing, however, the Tri-
bune does a little better, for it truth
fully tells how the road was started
and partially built. 1t says. 1.-The
farmers did not have any money with
which to subscribe for stock, but they
pledged so many days work on the
road. Others made a gift of the
right Of way. Still others went into
the woods and cut out the ties.
Farmer Hines was much ridiculed
when he started his agricultural road,
but he has stuck manfully to his task,
and now the chances are the road will
be actually built. He has $50 miles
of right of way, pledges for the earth
work, ties enough to cover the line.
and is now in New York negotiating
bonds for the rails rolling stock. The
road will run from Duluth west
through the Red river valley into
North Dakota, opening up a new sec
ton of country"

THE FRIENDLY GRASP OF THE
HAND.

When your comrade has missed the high
aim of his life;
Has been beaten and crushed in merciless
strife;
When, whatever he tries and wherever he
goes,
He seems destined to lose, and his fate
we'll he knows;
1t is then that despair his kind heart doth
rend-
1t is that he should know that at least
you're his friend;
When the fiow'r smiling earth seems des-
olate land
You should thrill his whole frame with
shake of your hand.
You many save him from sorrow and fill
him with joy,
Yea, inspire him the morrow his best to
employ;
You may tell him how love and how friend
e'er hold
Then he rises above and his faith becomes
bold
And, wherever you go and whatever you
say,
You may go where you WILL yet you meet
on the way
With a sorrowful man. If you wish to
command
Both his love and his thanks, just grasp
him by the hand!
But another friend rides on the crest of
life's wave,
And he revels in plenty and cares not to
save,
For his heart is so light and his spirit so
free
That he seems like the gayest of birds
that can be.
But whenever you meet with soul that
is sad,
And whenever you're told that the glad
earth is bad,
These conditions you cure if you but
That the safest of cures is to hold out your
hand Christopher g. Ruess.

But, Cyrus, it was only yesterday I

But how did it get out? I told Henry
to carry it down to the river and mer-
cifully drown it in the bag"
1T evidently got OUT
But how did anyone know whose cat
it wasp
Mrs. Jimson was beginning to cry,
and Mr. Jimson's face relaxed a little of
its severity.
Polly, it's all right, only you were
born a decade too soon. You'll catch on
some of these days. and then you'll be
able to distinguish between a joke and
a sermon Now inst remember this

To Break Down rledicaI Barriers.

The American Association Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons, which has been in
session in Buffalo, took the first step to-
ward the perfection of an organization
whose object is to reconcile the warning
elements in the profession, and to break
down the barriers which now exist be-
tween the different so-called schools of
medicine Under the present code
of ethics a practitioner of one school is
prohibited from consulting a member of
another school, or even availing him
self of the good which is to be found
in all schools. In short, the tendency
OF the organization will be to liberalize
the medical profession.
The new organization will be called
the international College of Medicine
and Surgery. 1t will be organized in
1900 at Paris during the International
congress of the medical profession
which is to form a part of the great
worlds fair to be held at that time.
DR. John F. Simson of Boston viii prob
ably be the first President of the new
college. as he has been the prime mover
in the steps already taken toward it's
organization. The college will recog-
nize no creeds or dogmas, but will be de-
voted purely to science--Buffalo Ex-
