THE VALUE OF FAITH.

Fs asA't Jest wise to be too pryin bout the
things we daily see,
An cur'ous people often find it's best to LEFT
them be- -.
The man that comes to know too much, he ain t
the happy one,
An faith is worth the havin. sir, when all is
said an done.
The man who's at the theayter an trustin to
his eyes
Gets lots of fun an pleasure that an opry glass
denies,
For to his eyes there's beauty in the tinsel an
the paint,
But when he tries the opry glass, why, then,
you bet, there amt.
It's jest the same with other things; the water
in the brook
Is clear an most invitin if with only eyes you
look,
But when you get microscope you're like to
stop think,
An, like as not, the sights you see will drive
you to strong drink.
An SO it is in other ways, an repeat again
The man who knows the wherefor amt the
happiest of men.

tentment brings,
An I'm dern glad myself to say on faith take

Lack of Proof.

A story is told of a prominent A Inerican
lawyer who was a fine speaker and wit,
but so fond of metaphysical distinctions
that colleague one day read him lesson
never to be forgotten by any one who
knew him. He told the jury the following
story, the moral of which was at once ap-
parent:
My friend -, said he, who is so sue
cessful in fine spun distinctions was once
employed to defend an old man for shoot
ing neighbours dog. The proof was clear
that the defendant said he would shoot the
dog; that he brought out the gun in open
day and loaded it; that he took deliberate
aim at the dog, and that at the crack of
the rifle the dog fell dead with a bullet
hole through him.
But the lawyer contended that this was
an instance of circun1stantial evidence
merely, and that in such cases it was
well settled that if single link in the
chain was wanting the whole evidence
was worthless, and although there was
proof of the threat, the loading of the gun,
the firing and the death Of the dog, 'yet, !"
said he, "what witness has testified that he
saw the bullet hit the dog3'-Youth's

Mr.. BiIkins Was In.

He was little man, with a stubby, gray
mustache, and his shiny Prince Albert
coat was buttoned tightly to his throat.
He wore no gloves, and his hands, one of
which grasped the handle Of small black
satchel, were red with the cold.
The bookkeeper was hard at work on
his trial balance and did NOT notice the
gentle opening and closing of the street
door He was unaware of the presence of
his visitor until the little man asked:
Pardon me, but is Mr.. Bilkins, your
cashier, imp
The bookkeeper forsook his figures long
enough to say, "Mr. Bilkins is in all right
Anything I can do for you?"
ooh, no; the business is purely person
al, thank you. presume he is engaged
I shall watt And the little man sank
ing the satchel on his knees. The book
keeper resumed his task.
Twenty minutes passed.
The trial balance had "come out' salts
factorily, and the book keeper whistled
cheerily to himself as he prepared to re-
place the books.
Pardon me-" said the little man, ris-
ing from the chair, ''but sold Mr.. Bill
kins bottle of my imperial ink eradi-
Gator few months ago, and as he seemed
to like it 1 thought I would call and see
if he needed fresh supply. Can you tell
me when he will be at Hberty?''
The bookkeeper threw the last book in
to the vault, and after slamming the door
shut turned and remarked: Certainly. I
think it is six years, unless he's pardon
ed before his sentence expires. Truth.

AN ENGLISH JAIL CHAPEL.
A vasv of the Prisoners at the Sunday
Morning Service


A visw of the Prisoners at the Sunday
Morning Service.
After breakfast nothing much hap
pens until the chapel hour. Now those
prisoners who have gone sick are
visited by the surgeon or his assistant,
and if the case is urgent are sent across
to the inf1rmary at once, says writer
in the Culver. There is no regular cell
inspection. the governor or his deputy
makes no round; there is no taking OF
reports" no adjudication of pains and
penalties for misconduct. All this Will
stand over until Monday; even those
awaiting punishment, unless It is TOT
outrageous acts Of violence or denance'
turn out to go with their fellows TO
chapel. About $50 the chapel bell
rings for the first service, that OF the
Roman Catholics, who in large prisons
are usually located or lodged in one
part of the prison, near their own
chapel. The bell for the church of Eng
land service follows at about 10 a. M
Both on marching to chapel and when
seated within 1t the various classes and
categories of prisoners are kept strict
ly separate from each other. Males
and females approach the chapel by
different roads, enter by different doors
and occupy different divisions, pews or
places apart Among the males. too,
the convicted are kept from the uncon-
victed, and the debtors from both. The
women are generally seated first, be-
hind a screen or within a curtained-
off, raf1ed-in Enclosure. They are, OF
course, visible to the chaplain, but to
no one else but their own officers. Ex-
cept for their treble voices heard In re-
sponses and hymns, their presence at
the service would be unknown Now
and again, however, an attempt to sig
nal or communicate has been tried by
individuals of opposite sexes; when
dry cough, persistent1y repeated, in
the female pew, finds an answer in an
other part of the chapel, it affords
shrewd suspicion that friends are try
ing to use some code made up outside
before imprisonment 1ai-
One other class is unhappi1y to be
found at times in the Jail chapel, a
very distinct class, but seldom contain
ing more than one representative. This
is sometimes a "condemned' man in
prison, one on whom the extreme PEN
atty has been passed, and who, by the
usual custom, is allowed three clear
Sundays before the awful sentence is
accomplished. A condemned convict,
although he is never left alone, being
associated day and night with two war
dens as guardians, is never permitted
to see or be seen by other prisoners.

Proclamation.

Lay Down Arms.
EXTERMINATE REBELS
A Long List Of Regulations is
Prescribed.
The Time Has Arrived to Act
With VigOr.
EXTERMINATE REBELS

HAVANA, March 9.-Captain Gem
eral, Weyler has issued the following
circular:
81 have promulgated az order that
the teachers of divinity of the prov
inces of Matanzas, Santa Clara, Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cube, who,
confessedl$, have taken part in the
movements of she rebels, shall b9 par
doned on making +heir submission,
surrenderipg their arms and placing
themselves under surveillance of the
lawful authority; provided they have
not committed other crimes since the
issuance of my last proclamation"
A proclamation has also been is
sued, beginning as follows:
Il make known to our harassed
troops, and to those who attempt to
demoral1ze them as they pursue east
ward rebel parties more numerous
than those whom they leave in the
provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana.
that the time has arrived to pursue
with the greatest activity and rigor
the little bands, more of outlaws than
insurgents, who remain in the said
provinces.
In order to facilitate the campaign
against the small bands, General
Weyler issues a long list of detailed
orders, the last three of which follow:
Rebels, who may not be responsible
for any other crime, who, within the
term of fifteen days, present them
selves to the nearest military authority
in both provinces, and who will assist
in the apprehension of anyone guilty
of the foregoing offenses, will not
be molested, but will be placed
at my disposal Those who have
presented themselves at any earlier
time will be pardoned- Those who
may have committed any other crimes,
or who INSTRUCTED any public cargo
proceeding to its destination, will be
judged according to the antecedents,
and their cases will be withheld for
final determination. He who presents
himself and surrenders arms, and, in
a greater degree if there is a collective
presentation, will have his case de-
termined by me. All who present
themselves after the time mentioned
in this warning will be placed at my
disposal
THE planters, manufacturers and
other persons who, within the terri
tory of the provinces warned, shall
periodically facilitate, or even for
single time, shall give money to the
insurgents, save in the case of being
forced to yield to superior force, a cir
cumstance which will have to be ex-
amined in a most searching manner,
will be regarded as disloyal through
helping the rebellion.
For the repair of roads, railways,
telegraphs, etc, the personal cooper
alton of the inhabitants of the villages
will be required, and, in the case of
the destruction of any kind of proper
ty. the occupants of convenient habi-
tations will be held responsible if they
do not immediately inform the nearest
authority of such occurrences"

Bodies in a Barrel.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Carefully con-
cealed in a barrel and covered with a
mass of old rags and cotton, the dead
bodies of grey-haired man and a
newborn babe were found in an allv
in Hyde park yesterday. In conse-
quence the people are working on
what they consider a double murder.
Only one clue is in their possession,
and on the discovery of the identity of
a woman, as yet unknown to the
police, depends the possible solution
Of the mystery. The police laugh at
the theory that it was the work of
medical students, and are positive in
their statements that the man and
child were murdered.

SIeepfne RoOrns.

Oil stoves and gas stoves should new
er be kept burning in sleeping room,
for they are burned in the open air of
the room, and, having no connection
with a chimney f1ue, throw the poison
GUS carbonic oxide of combustion into
the air of the apartment and make it
unfit for respiration. Even an oil lamp
is dangerous if left burning all night,
but an oil stove is worse, because stoves
generally feed more flame, consume
more of the oxygen, and give off more
poisonous gas.

Social Purity.

In all the past society has demanded
purity on the part of woman. A wom-
ans crown is her purity. If she loses
this crown it is almost an impossibility
to reinstate her in society. But society
has been so constituted that man
could be vicious in conduct and de-
PRAYED in life, and yet find an entrance
to good society. 1t is high time that
society should demand the same purity
OF a man as is demanded of a woman
