NO LIFE ON THE MOON

In the absence of all indica-
tons az any sort of life what
ever on the moon. with no air
nor water, together with the
fact that no change of any de-
scripiion has been noticed by
the keen and trained eyes
which have jealously scrutiniz
ed its surface from the time Of
the first telescope efforts TO the
present we are compelled to
conclude that there are no PEG
pie who live in the moon. The
wonderful combination Of
mountain and crater, valley
and peak, is, after all, only a
vast graveyard; and if living
beings ever roamed over It's
plains and navigated its great
seas, now dry, or frozen with
appalling cold, they have been
gathered to the nations of the
dead; and all traces Of then
having vanished, the tall shafts
of the mountains watching ovel
their last resting place, will
the crater rings, constitute
their eternal and magnifieen
mausoleum-Alden w. Quin

forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
RIGHTLY directed There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
EVERYWHERE esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. it is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that You have the genuine artl-

this large mind took an interest in;

jects OF study with him and lie was a
prose writer OF force and cleanness.
One is ioath to leave such books but 1t
would be impossible to quote or to con-
tinue 10 give in detail the life OF this
man. II was almost an ideal one. The
death OF Ferguson in 1856, caused deep
sorrow In the literary world and some
OF his poems will be read and stir hearts
when perhaps the story OF his native
land will be different one.
The volumes that have been recently
issued as seem most appropriate are
issued by the >Blackwood Company, the
SUCCESSORS OF the man who first admired
and gave Ferguson chance for the
profitable use Of his pen. Ferguson was
a prolific writer and list of his more
important woSks and of mis- contributions
TO magazines Is given in the appendix
to this work. 1he sermon Of Arch
bishop Plunkett at the funeral OF this
famous man shows, what some may
have forgotten In noisy agitations,
that what the Protestant archbishop and
men Of his creed most priced about
Ferguson was the pride he took in being
an Irishmap.

THE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

THE LEIIEk VI Atefsf-iANtE.
The letter OF WILLIAM MCKINLEY
formally accepting the nomination of the
Republican national convention for Presi-
deaf OF the United States is long, but it
is worth reading.
Length In such a message TO the peo-
pie was necessary. The platforms adopted
by the Repu blican and the Democratic
and populist parties are radically differ
ent. Never before have the great parties
expressed themselves op SO many import
ant points so differently. The platform
adopted at Chicago, 10 say nothing of
that OF the Popuiists adopted at TT.
Louis, which becomes OF Importance by
reason OF the uniting of the two
conventions on a Presidential candidate,
is characterized by a mum ber Of rev.
olutionary propositions-prop ositions that
demand radical changes in our policy OF
government and command the attention
Of the people because OF their unusual
number and their character. Not less
than half dozen are OF the most vital
Importance for consideration and action
at the polls, that our government may
not be turned upside down. Against
them all the Republioa party protests.
1t stands for conservatism and progress
along lines we'll tried and proved. II IL
against them ELL that MCKINLEY was cal
led upon to speak. He has spoken ana
spoken WELL His letter, long as II is, is
not dreary. 1t Is couched In remarkably
simple and expressive language. At
first reading it strikes one almost as
commonplace, lacking, as 1t is, in any
thing OF the nature OF "fiights, or
flowers OF speech that might well be ex-
pected In such a deliverance. But 1t
bears contemplation and inspires
thought. 1t is calm and its very
simplicity makes II In upressfve.
1t Is good Stter. 1t is satisfactory. 1t
is strong appeal to intelligent itizens.
II the candidate had written twice as
much he could not have exhaustiveiy
treated the remarkably large variety of
important subjects upon which he was
called upon to speak. So, long as II Is in
number Of words, 1t is really much con-
oensed. There is actually a splendid
array OF statements condensed in
smaller space than would have been ex.
pected. Facts, figures, terse argument
and quotation OF substantial authority
are brought tog ether in admirable fash
ion. And every line Is illuminated by
sound sense and patriotism.
