A METHODIST clergyman in ST. Louis
has discovered that the color of sin is
pink. Several of bis brethren who heard
his crazy discourse maintained that the
color was scarlet, because the bible said
30. They claimed further that sin was
scarlet because of ell dyes it was the
most enduring. 1t strikes the average
mind that il such men can by prayerful
lnterceesion with the Great Father have
Sin ersdicsted and the human soul wash
ed white as snow, the Giver of all
good must be easily reached or the color
IN question is not abiding in character.
This is further evidenced by the readi-
ness with which murderers and other
vile offenders are permitted to enter the
kingdom Of heaven through the hang
man's moose. Instead of the devil being
clothed in theological black a new suit
OF pink will now be tie more sppropri-
ate.

LAYING ON THE LAST STRAW.
The Horse May Now Be Seen Led on the
Street by Bicycle.

The Horse May Now BE Seen Led on the
Street by n Bicycle.
The horse has been getting the worst
of it" for some time. First he was
found to be edible and was made into
sausage and canned and sold in steaks
and his hide made into cordova. Then
electricity took away the work of his
old age-pulling street cars. And now
the bicycle has further restricted his
sphere of usefulness by depriving him
of pulling the Sunday young man and
his best girl on their afternoon drives.
Livery, which was his exclusive field,
has been adopted by the impertinent
wheel, and now, in the next stall to
the horse, is the glistening bicycle,
which needs neither oats nor bedding
Then, too, they have shared with him
and the bicycle the honorable epltneJ
''steed," and the gaudy wheel, with its
noiseless, sneaking rubber shoes, is
called the noble iron steed," ETC., ad
nauseam. The future of the horse is
indeed dismal.
The crowning insult, however, went
unresented the other day. Down
Grand Avenue, says the Kansas City
Star, rolled man on a wheel, leading
a fine, sturdy, middle-aged horse, in
the prime of life and usefulness. The
horse logged along after the wheel
with his head hanging dejectedly and
shamefully. He evidently realized his
degradation, but was too hopeless and
heartsore to resent it. And lovers of
the horse, mans intelligent friend and
companion, looked after him pitying-
ly and wished he would back up, pull
the man off the wheel and dance on the
machine-but he didn't.

THROAT TROUBLES.
Points About Breathing in a Way That
VIII Prevent Them.

| VIII Prevent Them.
"If people would only remember to
| breathe through the nose; if only they
| would think for a moment of the func
tions of the nose, l would have scarce
| ly have anything to do in my profess
sion, said a well-known throat and eaI
specialist recently.
"Yes! Free nasal breathing is the es-
sential of healthy throat. The nose
is the medium made by nature to trans
nit the air to the lungs; its passages
/ are provided with a slight growth OF
| hair, which acts as sieve in purifying
| the air we breathe. These hairs col
lect the dust particles, and because of
| the natural supply of moisture in the
nose the air is sufficiently dampened in
passing though not to irritate the
| lungs and throat.
'Cn the other hand, people who
breathe through the mouth will always
have a dr., rarched throat, and are sure
to be Victims of hoarseness, and sooner
or later will suffer from lung trouble.
''It is the natural outcome of thG mis-
use of natures organs of respiration.
1t is true that singers breathe through
the mouth, but it is only while singing
that they resort to this method of
breathing. and it is done only and sole
ly because sufficient breath cannot be
taken into the lungs at a single respira-
ton to balance the great amount
given out in the production of the sing
ing tone. he demand is very great
and the supply must be equal to the de-
mand for singing production. On the
other hand, no one has ever seen thor
oughbred singer while exercising.
other than the voice, use his or her
mouth for the Purposes of breathing.
This saves the throat from becoming
excessively dry, natural result of
which is hOarseness, and keeps the pas
sages to the lungs we'll protected from
dust and microbes of disease.
THE cause for mouth breathing lies
in defective nasal passages. This nasal
obstruction is known as adenoid. 1t
is a kind of vegetative growth at the
point where the nose and throat join
II is the cause of that common malady
known as nasal catarrh. 1t will also
cause chronic laryngitis, which is a
source of untold annoyance. To rem
edy any such trouble it is necessary to
have the obstruction removed. The old
method was to burn, but the physicians
of to-day consider this dangerous. 1t
is simple process TO remove them
with the trepan, saw, or knife. 1t takes
but few minutes and is almost pain
less. This bony growth is often the
cause of earache among children. This
is due to the pressure upon the eus-
tachian tube, which leads to the ear,
and often results in complete deafness
1t is advisa BILE, therefore, to attend to
any such growth as soon as it becomes
noticeable The first symptoms are
those of breathing through the mouth
and snoring while asleep. The special
remedy is to make the patient breathe
through the nose, and to save the throat
from all irritants cold spunge baths.

Love and rsttooinx.

When young and poor one of the now
wealthy citizens of Waterbury, Conn,
loved a poor and haantiful maiden So
much did he owe her that he had her
name ar9 a striking portrait of her tat
tooed on his right arm. Her parents
opposed the match and forced her to
wed rich suitor. The young man
vowed he would never marry, and for
forty years he remained bachelor. He
became many times as rich as the man
who had wrecked his youths dream of
love. A few weeks ago he capitulated
to the charms of one of Derby's fair
bellies, and proposed marriage. She ac-
cepted on condition that he should have
the tattooed reminiscence of his first
passion removed. The sight of the
symbol could not fail to prove embar-
rassing to both. A doctor was called
in and performed painful but not
dangerous surgical operation, and the
counterft presentment of his first love
was replaced with an ugly scar as re-
minder, so he now says, to his soon-to-
be bride of the folly of youth.

WEALTH VS.. DEBT IN THE
UNION.

The commissioner of labor has been
making an estimate of the proportion of
debt and wealth in the United States,
from which he finds the Indebtedness
OF the railroads, telegraph and water
companies and similar corporations to
be 5000, 600, COO; the mortgages on real
estate amount to S6,0l9,000, 600, and all
other private debts and takes are esti-
mated at s5,OOO,OOO, 200 making the
private debt OF the country SlS 200, 0,000,-
900. The total pubic debt of the re-
public. Including cities and towns, coun-
ties and school debts, reaches the sum
Of 81, ,027 100000, making q grand total
OF all Indebtedness, public ard private,
of 20,227, 100000. This amount would
be greatly reduced were counter claims
taken ir to consideration, but of those no
exact estimate can be made. For the
wealth of the country, assessed valves of
the property OF railroads and similar
corporations, give s9,000,000,O00; real
estate, s36, 600, 100000, capital in mines
and manufactures, sl0,OOO.000, 600; an
nusl products Of mines. farms, etc,
s5,000.OOO, 900; gold and silver, 81, ,2OO,-
000, 900, making total of S65,2OO, COO,
600. This shows the aggregate wealth
of the nation to be more than three
times its normal debt. The total debt
per capita is over 1920, but a very large
amount is due by railroads, banks and
other corporations whose liabilities are
over valued. OF the real estate mort
gage debt of over $4,000. 100000, about 40
per cent is for money loaned to cities
and towns of more than 900 inhsbit- |
ants, and only 80 per cent, or s,y 81

DON'T SHOOT SOLID SHOT.
Has Abandoned the Use of That
Projectiie

| Artillery Has Abandoned the Use Of That
Projectiie
The use of solid shot in warfare has
been practically given up. The pro-
jectile of to-day is conical shell of
steel and sometimes loaded with powder
so as to explode, or by time fuse. 1t
is wonderfully different from the shell
of twenty-five years ago. says the Wash
ington Star. In those days one could
watch the projectile as it sailed through
the air in a graceful curve, at length
bursting. There was even time to get
out of the way, under favorable circum-
stances. But the new style of shell
moves at the rate of little more than
half a mile a second. In striking a
metal target, its energy being trans
formed instantaneously into heat, it
becomes red-hot, and a flame is actually
seen to burst from the point struck.
Such projectile moves, one might say,
in straight line, and its impact at
distance of a mile seems almost stimuli
taneous with the discharge of gun.
Such she'll, passing near man, will
tear his clothes off, merely from the
windage. If it comes very near, though
without hitting him, it will kill him. He
drops dead without sign of wound.
Whereas an old-style shell would burst
into few pieces, the modern projectile
flies into a myriad of small fragments,
each of them moving with tremendous
velocity. 1t may easily be imagined
that half dozen six-pound Hotchklss
shells finding their way into a vessel
would scatter death and destruction in
every direction. Protective armor,
owing to its great weight, can be placed
only over the ships vitals-that is to
say, along the middle part of the hull,
near the water line, so as to cover the
machinery. In future battles gun
ners will direct their fire against the

A Story of Pluck and Sacrifice.

A Rockland (Ale.) woman whose story
is briefly outlined by the COurier-Ca-
zette has particular reasons for thank
fulness that the last years of her life
are spent in the land that celebrates
July 4. This lady, Mrs. Hanrahan by
name, lived in Ireland at the time OF
the potato famine. At last things got
so desperate with her family that they
held council to see what could be done
to keep them from starvation. Amcri-
ca was thought of, but if the husband
went to the United States what would
keep the mother and children? So the
brave woman decided that she would
go. BY hard exertion and bitter sac
rifice her passage money was earned,
and, taking a sad farewell of her home
and little ones, she crossed the ocean,
She procured a situation in New York,
and while the father kept the family to-
gether and earned enough to give them
a scanty living the mother worked
night and day in the far-off city to get
the funds that would bring her dear
ones to this country. At length the
years of probation were over, the IA
ther and children landed in New York
and the family was once more united
"Ah!" said the old lady, lit was hap

Clever Ruse by Which the Duke of Wei.
lington's Autograph Was Secured.
1t is well known that, toward the lat
ter years of the duke of Wellington's
life, it was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get reply from
him to letters failed; he either did not
answer them at all. or directed his pri-
vate secretary 70 do so; and thus the
Famous signature of wellington" he
came rarity highly priced by collec-
tors. 1
Apropos of this, Answers tells of a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs of most of
the great men of the day, but wanted
that of the "Great Captain" She men,
toned her distress to friend, certain
Mr.. H., and a few days after he, to her
great surprise and pleasure, brought
her note from the hand of the victor of
Waterloo. 1t ran thus: 4
''Field Marshal Duke of wellington
never ordered pair of braces of Messrs.
Simkin. If F. NJ. duke of Wellington
had ordered the articles he could not
forget it. F. NJ. duke of Wellington al
ways pays for his braces
This was very odd document for a
lady's album, but its authenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place in the interesting collection.
The way in which this singular note
was elected was this:
Mr.. III. filled up one of the bank
ruptcy court forms and signed it, in
forming the duke that in winding up
the affairs of Messrs. Simpkins, he (the
assignee) found on their books the sum
OF 6s cd due by his grace for pair of
braces, which he requested the duke
would Immediately pay or have paid.
Mr.. HIS ruse was founded on pure
fiction, but it succeeded.
