the will or make existence such a
treadmill that life is not worth living.
We believe that through the period
of childhood the heart and intellect
can be so trained and interests so
multiplied that however dark the
days may be which follow, the feel
ing will never come that it is not
worth while striving. As to the plan
to be pursued in this education, we
would put first and above all the
force of example. Let the home at
mosphere be bright and cheerful, and
all disagreeable things kept in the
background. This will for outweigh
all desired teaching. Make your
children feel that you regard i'll tenn
per and being cross as very serious
faults, and making those about them
happy, the right expression OF a
right spirit. The cultivation of love
for animals is an important element
in child's education. Nature in all
it's varied forms should be daily les
son, and impressed upon the sensa-
tive mind, will be through life a
source of JOY. Try to keep them
from looking upon their tasks as dis
agreeable duties, and encourage them
to feel that there is great satisfaction
in being useful. Chrildren so trained
are the ones who push forward and
make a career of usefulness and
honor.

the king and made it stick to metal
lie plates and reflect the images
thrown upon them. His success was
partly accidental, partly design, and
he himself was astonished at his
discovery. In 1910 Arago made the
announcement to the Academy of
Science and Daguerre was made an
officer in the Legion of Honor and
voted pension Of 5000 francs a
year. He died in 1851 and monu-
ment was erected to him in Paris.
But like all inventions, Daguerre's
was crude and imperfect. Photogra-
ply has grown out of it and seems
now to be the perfection of art. 1t
is used in making the exact likeness
of all the great works of art and ma
ture and bringing them ip the reach
of the millions who have never seen
and never will see the originals. All
the monuments, pyramids, churches,
cathedrals, bridges, mountains and
waterfalls the grand old paint
iugs Of Raphael and Rembrandt, all
the sculpture Of the old masters and
even the aspects of the moon and
eclipses of the sun and the repro
duction of the ancient manuscripts
of the Old and New Testaments.
The lightning itself cannot more in
stantly speed its way than photogra-
ply now catches a bird on the wing
or a race horse on the turft or q
meteor in the heavens. Just so it
was with the locomotive, the spinning
jenny, the sewing machine, the tele,
graph and telephone. All were i'm
proved from time to time by the cum
ming of the human brain and human
hand until they now seem to be per-
feet, but they are not.
On the mantle near me I see cab
met photograph OF we'll preserved
old man who has a sweet little black
eyed grand child on bis arm, while
her head rests trustingly upon his
shouldes and touches his venerable
check. She looks shyly and timidly
at you, but clings to the old man as
the tender vine clings to the old oak
that the storm, has riven. The old
mans face is calm and serene. 1
like those pictures for the children's
sake, and wish that I was so coupled
with every little grand-child and
that my wife had some to match
them. I was ruminating that when
am dead and gone and that little
girl is mother, maybe she will show
the picture to her child and say: 81
never knew my father, for he died
when I was very young, but that old
man was my grandfather and he was
good to me and I loved him very
dearly" Maybe when am in the
spirit land I will some times be near
her and hear her talk that way
maybe so, who knows? Flowers and
music are the sweetest gift of God
to mankind and pictures and paint
ing the sweetest that come from the
hand of man.
But of all the cameras that catch
and hold fast the images of art or
nature there are men of science who
assert that none are equal to the re-
tina of the human eye. They say
every look or glance or vision makes
an impression there. An impression
so delicate and uppalpable that mil
lions may lie upon its CLASSY surface
and the last thing seen is on the top.
They say that if man is murdered
while be faces the murderer the as
sailants face and form will be found
upon the victims eyes. Some ex-
periments have been made to prove
this, but they were imperfect and
unsatisfactory. Maybe it will yet be
nroven

BOSTON, Dec. 29.-The Portuguese con-
sui ut Boston has received "A petition from
st. Michael, Azores, which was sent by
the Portuguese governor of the province
of Dom Jacintho do Teres Adao asking
aid for thousands Of suffering inhabitants
who lost nearly all their property in a
great waterspout on Nov. 2 A number
of lives were lost at the time Part of the
city of Povocaao, with a population of 25,-
600, was carried away, as was also the
small town of Riviera Quente. The fish
ermen off the coast had practically all
their boats and equipments destroyed.
The authorities did what they could to re.
lieve the distress, but so great was the
suffering that they decided to ask Amer
leans to send aid to the various Portu-
guese consuls.

Destructlve Fire in washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The large furni-
ture house of julius Lansburg, on New
York avenue, near Thirteenth street, was
destroyed by fire last evening. The loss
on the Lansburg building, stock and ad-
jacent structures damaged will amount to
about $200,O The loss on the stock
alone is placed at 500, 900, on which there
is $4,000, The building was principally
of wood and with the in1ammuble nature
of the immense quantity of goods made
the fire one of the fercest that ever oc-
Cured here. In a little over an hour
every wall had fallen, and the department
was playing upon mass of smouldering
ruins. The fire department was handi-
capped by two additional alarms from
other portions of the city almost at the
same instant, but succeeded in practically
combining the flames to the furniture es-

GUILTY OF ARSON.
Wealthy Manufacturer Convicted by
His Own Evidence.

wealthy Manufacturer Convicted by
His Own Evidence.
New YORK, Dec. 20.-Isunc Zuker n
wealthy real estate owner and manufao-
turer, was last night convicted of arson in
the first degree in causing his Division
street store to be set on fire and himself
aiding i'm the arrangements for igntlng It,
1t was claimOd by the prosecution that
Iuler was the chief of the gang of firebugs
whose gigantic operations three years ago
startled the insurance world, and Morris
Schoenholz, II forty year termer In Sing
Sing for his connection with this crime,
was brought from prison to testify against
Zuker
The district attorney, however, failed to
make out good case until Zuker went on
the stand for himself He was n wretched
witness for his own interests, and made
admissions that destroyed the defense his
counsel had built up. The district attor-
ney questioned him about the numerous
fires that had occurred in buildings oc-
cupied by him, and he incriminated him
SELF by his answers, Among the fires mem
toned wore one at No, 4S North Canal
street, Newark in 1879, and another at No
500 South street. Philadelphia, on Sept. 8,
1880. He denied all recollection Of the
Philadelphia fire, and the prosecution in
troduced documents to prove that fire, in
Guiding Iuker's testimony in suit to
collect the insurance.
Iuker Is n Russian, 10 years old. He
came to America in 1869 and went into
the clothing business in New York, his
success enabling him to open branch
stores in Philadelphia and Newark.

ENGULFED BY A BOG.
Singular Death of an Irish Family of
Ten Persons.

Ten Persons.
DUBLIN, Dec. ga family of ten por-
sons and a number of cattle have been en-
quilted by the subsiding Of bog of 100
acres near Castle Island, County Kerry.
1t is stated that other persons were
drowned at the same time and place.
The subsidence of the bog proves to have
been an extraordinary affair, There were
terrible storms throughout the night and
about 3 o'clock in the morning the people
of the district were alarmed by an unusual
rumbling, which they feared was caused by
an earthquake.
The bog, which was believed to be thirty
feet deep, and which had long supplied
the neighborhood with peat was moved
for several miles along an old water course,
filling a quarry twenty feet deep on the
way, flooding the rivers of the country
with peat and water and doing great
deal of damage. At the Donely home
stead ten people have completely disap-
peared, leaving no trace

THE SUSPECTED FlLlBUSTERs.
Jhargos That Government Omcers Are
Interested In Ihcm.


WARRINGTON, Dec. 20.-No information
has been received at either the treasury de-
prrtment or the department of Justice re-
specting the suspected fllibuster Three
Friends, except the announcement of her
seizure nor have any special instructions
been given to the local officials as to the
legal course to be pursued. There is no
doubt that the officials are not entirely
satisfied with the way the business of pre-
venting fllibustering expeditions from
leaving our ports has been conducted, and
IL is believed that Assistant Secretary
Wike, who is now in Florida, will make it
his business to investigate the whole
matter.
1t is known that the Spanish mini ster
here has made repeated complaint at the
state department. that some of the gov
ernment officers in Florida have money
interests in some of the steamers engaged
in violating the neutrality laws by carry
ing expeditions to Cuba. These complaints
have been forwarded to the chief customs
officers in Florida, and while the reports
admit the fact of subordinates or mem
bers of their families holding interests in
some of the we'll known filibusters it is
claimed that this fact has not had and
could not have any influence upon the
official acts of the subordinate officials
Up to this time these statements have
been allowed to pass as satisfactory an
swers to the charges but the officials here
are greatly annoyed by the frequent sue
cessful trips of the filibusters, and ii is
not unlikely that more stringent meas
ures to put u stop to them will be adopted.
Whether the subordinates owning inter
ests in these vessels will be required to re-
sign is not known, but If it is made to ap-
per that any one of them is under reason
able suspicion prompt action will be taken.

LOUISVILLE, Dec 29.--At the headquar-
ters of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road company in this city Superintendent
of Transportation George e. Evans still
maintains that the Cahaba river bridge
wreck was the result Of carefully plan
ned scheme of robbers and does not enter
tain the idea that it was due to careless
ness on the part of the division superin-
tendent or subordinates. He said he could
not see how the wreck could have occurred,
exceptas IA prearranged affair. The trains
move over the bridge Mt very slow rate
of speed, and it would take very serious
disarrangement Of the rails to cause the
train to Jump the track.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
claims TO Be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free but
sometimes man so OverilOws with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered
II is upon this principal that a resident Of
Kalamazoo Mich, desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
of any form of nervous debility relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment il would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might he
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in remedy which will restore them to
health, strength aud vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery As the remedy in question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought TO write for
such remedy at once. A request to II. G..
Olds, Box 17l2 Kalamazoo, Mich, stating
that you are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as TO where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr. Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send to Mr.. Olds SO that he may know
how you Camo to write him. 12-2S-7St
