kof Christians meet doubts ana ulmcuIi
ties in their Christian experience. The
halmist here had evidently fallen int
khe slough of despond. He had been IL
b pit of destruction, in a swamp OF mlry
clay, where he would experience the
horror Of realizing that he was sinking
hand vet could not stay his downward
course because there was no solid foot
hing beneath him. He speaks of no phys
heal sickness, of no persecution by enc
tmies, and therefore we may conclude
khat his trouble was mental and spir'
ritual, some doubt or perplexlty that
had taken possession of his mind con-
lcerning his spiritual condition or con-
lcerning the things that involved his
lepiritual blessedness. All Christians
NAV meet these times of doubt and de-
lspondency. They may come from trou'
tble, from disappointment, from lnabll'
hty to understand all we would like tt
understand concerning God and the flu
tture life, from failure to be faithful aat
true to God
?. The Remedy For Doubts and Diff
,culties The psalmist sets before rs thu
.Only true remedy: In each case he wait
ed upon the Lord, he prayed to God
81 waited patiently or surely upon tn
Lord, and He inclined unto me ant
heard my cry" Thus he did his part
and then God did His, for next he says
He brought me up also out of hor
trible pit, out of miry swamp and Sc
INV feet upon a rock and established N.
tgoings, and He hath put new song /
my mouth" God is the only remedy fe
doubts and perplexities If we wait upo
Him, If we cry unto Him, He will hea
us and answer Us by removing the diff
Guilty from Us or by giving Us grace
endure it, If we trust i'll God III time {
doubt and dependency and come I
Him, Z viii place US upon the rocl
Christ Jesus, and instead of tiespondend
and despair there viii be songs of jo
in the heart and on our tongues.
If Doubts come, let US trust God al
act as I there Were no doubts, Obed
ence brings assurance. If any ms
will ID His Will, he shall know of Il
doctrine whether it be of God.

There is no doubt about the "hard
luck Of the present administration.
The turning down of Carlisle and
Hoke Smith and the probability that
the Chicago convention will be for
silver emphasize it. And it seems
thai the hard luck is to extend to
the Individual aspirations of other
members of the administration. Some
time ago Postmaster General Wilson,
the gentleman whose name was given
to the tariff bill which was repudlated
by the German Brice combine in the
Senate and replaced by one only
slightly better, announced that he
would try TO get back to the House
from the second West Virginia dis
tricJ. This didn't worry the repubi-
cans. but they supposed that it settled
the democratic nomination for that
district That was what Mr.. Wilson
thought, 100. But it didn't. And the
latest is that the democrats of the
district are going to turn down Mr..
Wilson and endorse a populist for
Congress on a free silver platform.
According to information received by
the Congressional campaign commit
tee, il doesn't matter what the dem
ocrats and populists do in that dis
tricr, as Representative Dayton's re-
nomination and election are practi-
cally sure.

Lost grandeur OF tho East.

A comparison between the annual
revenues of the Byzantine empire liz
the beginning of the thirteenth CEN
fury and the present revenues of the
empire of the Ottoman Turks brings
before the minds eye a picture OF the
lost grandeur and wealth OF provinces
over which now broods the silence OF
desolaticn. At the periods mentioned
the Gominions of the Greek emperors
at Constantinople had been Empower
ished by the invasion of the Franh
Crusaders, and the chief part of Asia
Minor, with its fourishing cities, had
been wrested from the Byzantine mon
archs by conquering Islam; yet the an
nual income of the successors of Con-
stantine amounted to $780, 900.
The revenues Of the sultan's empire
have shrunk to s90,000,00O per year.
Such is the blight which Turkish mis-
rule has brought upon some Of the fair
est regions of the earth. Philadel phia

DR.. Finsen of Copenhagen says that
the skin of smallpox patient is as sus-

How it is possible to measure wind
by its sound has been told by Prof
Carl Barus to the National Academy Of
Sciences. The whistling of the wind
as it crosses wire varies with the

of given diametgseof wire and for a
given air ten allure. A special MI
crometer at nment can be made to
convey thu sound, isolated from other
noises tos5rhe observer at distance.
Every gust and variation OF the wind
can be studied in this way. and an idea
of the direction Of the gust can be had
from the sounds obtained from three

rho Separated Couple Celebrated the

Tho Separated Couple Celebrated the
Decree with Little DinnSr Party.
p Mrs. Tillie Fromm-Abbott is free.
Saturday jugs Ellsworth granted her
d decree Of divorce from George IL.
Abbott on the grounds Of desertion and
failure to provide, says the Oakland
Times. As soon as the decision was
rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott shook
hands, and Upon the suggestion Of Mr..
Fromm. the fair Titles father, the
trio celebrated the separation with q
big French dinner in an Oakland cafe.
Mrs. Abbott lives in Alameda. where she
was born and educated, She Is a tall,
stately blonde of perfect figure and cap
tivating features. She has the dlstir-
guished honor of having engaged in
more matrimonial ventures than any
other young lady in the Encinal city,
or, in fact, In the state. The divorce
case Just ended marks her second at
tempt to get rid OF Abbott. He con-
tested her first suit and prevented her
getting a decree. In the last case he
allowed default to be entered against
him. Both suits were In Judge Els
worth's department and when the de-
fault was entered his honor suspected
that there was a collision on the part
OF fair Tillie and her husband to secure
divorce Judge Ellsworth ordered him
to be subpoenaed.
The trial Saturday was as tame as the
first contest was sensational. Mrs. ABB
aott briefly told how she failed to agree
with her mother-in-la law, and finally, IN
October, 1894, packed her trunk and re-
turned to her father. Her husband and
her father corroborated her statements.
Mr.. Abbott testified that he was earning
only 500 month as agent for an excur-
sion company in San Francisco and
half of the amount went to the support
of his mother. He stated further that
even If his wife consented to return to
him he could not support her. On this
showing the judge granted decree.
Mrs. Abobtt's reception of the order was
most emphatically joyful. She could
hardly restrain herself and clasped the
hand of her attorney warmly. After
the adjournment of court her father
playfully introduced the separated cou-
pie to each other and together the en-
tire party left the courthouse AS they
passed down stairs Abbott and his d.
vorced wife chatted very merrily and
were apparently we'll satisfied that their
union had been dissolved.
