IN a Nutshell.

Itnever hurts truth any to be slapped
in the face,
The worst robbers donot carry clubs
God is not in the religion that does
nothing foF the good of men
Itcosts much less to be contented
than it does to be unhappy.
Faith in God is the best cure known
for worry.
Why is it that SO many people love to
tell bad news'
A counterfeitis sure evidence that
there is a genuine.
Whatever Christ did for himself he
can do for us.
No matter how much religion we pro-
fess, all that counts is what we live,
Whatever God gives MS to do he will
help us to do.
A woman can be the devils best friend
or his worst enemy.
A Christian helps the cause of God
not SO much by what he says as by
what he Is.
The cause of God is never helped by
pointing to the cross with a frown Oh
the face.
A rich man may give the Lord tor
little, but poor one cannot give tor
much.-Ram's Horn.

"Say, old man, I'll have to recall that
invitation gave you for next Satur-
day"
"Certainly, but old fellow, | hope that
there is nothing wrong"
"Oh, nothing at all, but we have sud
denly taken notion to observe Lent at
our house."
"Indeedp

~SDla vH,c,.orv !,

The figure of Andrew Jackson is one
of the most dramatic in American his
tory. II is oddly significant of the re-
volt of a strong, imperious nature
against the subduing influence of civili-
cation, that rub down the eccentrics of
individuals and make them all outward
ly alike.
1t is probable that the more scholarly
and gently bred Wings of Jackson's day,
disguised by the oaths, the uncouth cos
tune and abrupt manner of the old sol
der, moderated his stern integrity, and
the courage with which he held to an
opinion, however narrow, which he be-
lieved to be right
Jackson, on the other hand, unques-
tionably took delight in shocking them
by unconventional outbreaks. 1t is said
that he once went to cabinet meeting
wearing high boots covered with mud.
Observing the glances of disgust which
fell upon them, he exclaimed:
al beg your pardon, gentlemenl My
tNCl arc Wei. HdNC DNNh IA thN "tNbA~
yard"
He at once ordered a footbath and
towels, and quietly bathed his feet then
and there.
The men present at this scene were
not likely to give him credit for the
shrewdness and honesty of purpose
with which, having reclothed his feet,
he turned to the affairs of state.
Had Jackson taken larger view of his
obligations to society and his personal
influence as the head of great nation,
he probably would have seen the folly
of weakening by his ill-breeding his
efforts to help his country.
An account of his profession of Chris
tianity has been given by Mr.. I. ].
Wharton, who vouches for its authenti-
ticity
The general had built little church
near his home at the Hermitage, to en-.
able his wife to join with her neigh
bors in public religious worship.
Her gentle spirit and consistent Chris
tian life held this strong mans love as
with hook of steel. Because of her
exemplification of Christianity in its in
fluence upon the mind and heart, he
sent some time after her death for DR.
Edgar and stated he wished to partake
of the sacrament, soon to be admins
tered, and thus publicly testify his
faith in the message and teachings OF
Christ.
Dr. Edgar examined him in the usual
formula touching repentance for his
sins, and faith in the doctrines of the
church, and received prompt and salts
factory answers.
There is one thing more, general,
the doctor said, with embarrassment.
"Go on. Probe me to the core" sale
the old man.
"You have had a stormy public life
and have had many enemies who doubt
less have assaulted you unjustly. Dc
you forgive themi"
After moment, Jackson replied, %
forgive all my own enemies freely
from my heart But the men who foully
lied about my poor, dead wife, vii

"The Savior male no exception,
gently said the man of God. Gall you
enemies?"
There was a long silence during
which the old soldier seemed great,
distressed. Suddenly he looked up,
tender smile upon his face.

This incident should have meaning

made possible by the desire of Europe to nullify the republican movement of the times. He throttled the democratic de- mon in France, and therefore Austria and Germany reaccredited their ambas- sadors to him with the understanding that the empire meant peace. 'L'empire cest la paix,' was his motto, but you see how he has lived up to it.'
 Of the terrible sway of the communists ne says; "MacMahon protested thatssuch were not his orders. French writers veil the horrible details, and a complete his- tory of the slaughter can never be given; but Kent saw frantic retaliations all about him. Archbishop Darboy was left a bleeding corpse on the barricades, and line after line of hostages were led out and shot like dogs. The French were killing one another as fast as they could and the stolid Germans al St. Denis were more and more convinced that the French were crazy"
 These terrible times are pictured in strongest and deepest tints, proving the authors thorough knowledge. It is im- possible to convey the spiritual element that one instinctively mbibes upon every page teaching of American freedom and equality, and the precious individual privilege and right of even the lowliest of Gods creatures; yet it is there, and perhaps nowhere more in evidence than in the following:
 'The door opened A tall, muscular man entered and then stopped suddenly.
 Father" cried the boy.
 My son, my son, my son." cried the strong ranchman, embracing him. A hundred times in hysteric iterance Kent craved pardon Again and again he es- saved his confession of folly, weakness, betrayal, failure. T knew you were in trouble said the father, and I came to look for you.
 Let me go home at once, father Kent said abruptly. want to get to work"
 Yet to understand the nobility and promise and innale moral worth tri- umphant in this plaintive cry one must have read every line of the book.

Reports from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,

CHICAGO, July 29.-The reports as TO
condition of the crops throughout the
country and the general effect of the
weather on the growth, cultivation and
harvest of same were made Tuesday by
the directors of several climate and crop
sections. The reports received at Chicago
were as follows:
nlinois--The week has been unfavora-
BILE for work The excessive rainfall has
caused injury TO wheat. oats and rye in
shock producing sprouting, mold and
rotting The largest part OF the crop,
however, was stacked or threshed pre-
vious To the rain. Corn, except on low
lands, is doing finely; broom corn, second
crop clover, pastures, late potatoes and
gardens have been much benefited by
rains
Indiana-Heavy rains in localities did
damage; wheat, rye and oats in shock are
sprouting and rotting; much hay Is spoil
ed; threshing and plowing were delayed !;
great crops of corn and potatoes almost
assured; some corn in bottom lands was
under water; tobacco nearly topped in
good condition.
Iowa-Excessive rainfall with cool and
cloudy weather delayed harvest and
caused increased damage To oats and
wheat in shock. Corn, grass and other
growing crops have been much improved.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. droughty In up
per peninsula and northern counties oil
lower peninsula. Oats harvests delayed
in southern half of state by frequent
rains, but growing crops have doomed.
Corn grows fast, looks fine, and is earring
Potatoes are doing well and pastures are
improved. The ground is in good shape
for fall plowing, which is in progress.
Wisconsin-The liberal rains during the
week have been very beneficial, especially
To pastures, corn and new seeding. Har-
vesting is about completed in southern
and middle sections and Is being pushed
rapidly in northern. Oats are not as good
as expected on account of damage to them
by rust and insects. Corn is doing well.
The army worm is spreading, but for tn,
whole state the per cent. of damage is not
great
