The NQS|0ge O| Lie.

From hour to hour we ripe, and
ripe, and then from hour to hour we
rot and rot" This last is life's natural
wastage. This is inevitable. Against
its wastage there is no provision.
Owing to an infinite of causes, this
wastage may be greater at one time
than at another, in one persons case
than in another but the wastage goes
on all the same. Not alone does it go
on after our mortal maturity is reach
ed, but before. Side by side
with the process of building up
the process of tearing down
is carried on. Wastage begins
where increase does. 1t is only where
the increase is greater than the vast
age that growth ensues. When the
wastage is greater than the increase,
then retrogression, decay begins, with
death as the inevitable result.
The whole problem of the whole rem
edial ages is how to build against this
natural wastage. That is how to rein
force and strengthen the forces that
build up and increase so that they can
maintain themselves against the dis
integrating, the wasting forces. This
is the real work of the medical schools.
1t is the object sought in all healing
art. For this purpose remedies are
prescribed, operations performed, nurs-
es educated, hospitals instituted, the
whole service of these agents organ
lied and formulated. Were it possible
to build up as rapidly as the declin-
ing powers yield to the encroachments
of decay the equilibrium between
physical soundness and unsoundness
would be preserved and physical life
might be prolonged indemnity.
This is not the case. That it is not
the whole mortuary history of the race
proves. Death is in the world
Death is the universal result of life.
Death comes to all living things. To
the vegetable and floral kingdom no
more than to the animal To these no
more than to the granite hills and the
rocks that are called eternal. These as
truly grow and mature and decay as
do the shorter lived and more perish
able gTOwths, whose increase and de-
cay are much more easily traced. The
fact that all these follow the universal
law is the best answer to those spec.
ulatiOns that are built upon
the possibility and probability
can do at it's best estate is to evolve
the law from the conditions and accept
its force.
But it was not of the natural wastage
of life that il was the intention to
speak this morning to the Light con-
gregation. That natural wastage is as
apparent to each of you as to the
Light preacher. 1t is the province OF
your physician, more than of your
preacher, to point out the facts Oi

shrubs, trees and other hardy plants
can stand a wonderful degree of cold,
yet the action of freezing and thawing
is fatal. For this reason very tender
shrubs should be planted on the north
side of the house, where they are not
so likely to winter-kill. 1t is the GUS
tom to burn leaves as soon as they
have from the trees, but if they are
heaped in some out-of- the-way corner
and allowed to decay, they will contri-
butte a very valuable material when
the times comes for making up the
garden in the spring. Leaves are also
one of the finest of materials for pro-
tecting beds of roses and other small
plants.-November Woman's Home

President Harrison returned from
New York, was interviewed in his In
dianapolis home as to the prospects of
the election of Tracy, and would not
say a single encouraging word of his
own knowledge. He paid a glowing
tribute to Tracy ard his personal

but declared that in the conditions of
that New York campaign 1t was i'm
possible to form an opinion of re-
suits. Benjamin is level headed, and

Plat says Harrison would be very
ready to recognize it. His failure to
do so shows H. discredit of the Platt

a TAIISMAN

What uses had he for all these
This ring-locked, rusty bunch of keys?
All this one closed his vault of wine;
And this one opened up the mine
From whence he took the store OF
thought
That here are in his writings wrought.
But this. Why here he held his life.
This was his latch-key, and his wife
Has thanked dear God to hear it turn.
It's place is 'mong the ashes in his urn.

If the registration in Cleveland is
any Indication of the interest taken
in the Ohio election, the Republicans
have only victory to look forward to
on the decisive day. The registration
is larger there than in any other off
year, and only a small per cent less
than one year ago, when every avail
able influence was invoked to swell
the returns. The encouraging feature
is that the falling off is greater in the
Democratic registration than in the
Republican enrolment.

Doubly sad because advanced science
could have saved her! Munyon has a
specific for all kinds of headache, which
cures in three minutes and leaves no de-
pressing effects. One or two doses will
stop Sick Headache, Neuralgia, Head
aches from Indigestion, Nervousness,
Overwork, Colds. Intemperance, or Rail-
road or Ocean Travel.
In striking contrast to the above sad
case Is that of Mrs. r. Hardin, 1859 Ger
mantown Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa, wife
of the Clerk of the Board of Education,
who says: For thirty years / suffered
with sick headache, which appeared in
attacks of severe pain, so intense that I
was obliged to remain in bed for days
at a time. These attacks appeared al
most every week, and at no time did l
ever receive relief, although I consulted
the most skilled physicians in the city.
The headaches seemed to wear them
selves out and then commence anew. At
last I was induced to try Munyon's
Headache Cure. The relief was magical
and almost instantaneous. l followed up
the treatment and was completely cured
for three years have passed and have
had no return of the headaches. have

ceived their most sincere thanks for

The old rumOr is revived that For
aker has a knife up his sleeve for
Hanna, and that while he is speak
ing smooth things to the Cleveland
man to his face, he is knitting him in
secret. There is not a particle of truth
in the assertion that can be ascertain
ed. The fight it is true is against
Hanna, for the bone of contention is
the control of the state legislature,
which elects a senator, and Mclean is
pouring out money like water to de-
feat Hanna in his aspirations for the
full term in the senate. He is not
likely to succeed, but there is no truth
in any event in the slur on Foraker.
There is harmony and good pros
pect of victory for the Republicans
when the votes are counted.

FarIy Morning Thieves.

There is chance for policemen to
make wholesale arrests every morn
ing between the hours of and 6, if
people with fruit trees-and especially
mangoes-in their yards, tell what is
fact. Between the hours mentioned
it is the habit of a regular gang of
Portuguese men to enter premises in
and about the city while the people are
peacefully slumbering. They carry
bags slung over their shoulders, and
insert in them not only the mangoes
and other fruit they can find, but
plants, flowers, newspapers, and, in
fact, anything they can lay their
hands on. If these thieves would take
only the mangoes and other fruits,
there would be but small objection,
but when they take anything they can
lay their hands on, then it seems time
to call a halt. Should some of the fell
lows be arrested and prosecuted it
might set a good example to all of
their kind.

MIDNIGHT EXPERIENCE.
BY Chief Officer Lawless OF the
Australia.

Robert r. Lawless, chief officer Of
the steamer Australia, Of the Oceanic
line, and who resides at 1887 Fifth.
street, had an experience a few nights
ago that made his hair stand on end,
says the Alameda CCal.) Argus of May
I'd.
Mr.. Lawless had arrived in port As
it happens sometimes, he is compelled
10 stay on board the ship for a night
or two after docking Mrs. Lawless
had told him. before the last voyage,
that she might go to San Francisco the
night he arrived in port and remain
with him over night in the metropolis.
Through some misunderstanding
however. he came direct to his home
in this city. He rang the bell, and,
there being no response, he concluded
that his wife had gone to San Fran
cisco.
He then went to a neighbor's house,
secured a lantern, and, after some
work, managed TO get into the lower
part of the house by forcing open a
rear window; but further progress
was barred by locked door leading to
his sleeping apartments. There was
only one alternative-he must force
open the door. He placed his muscu-
lar shoulder against it and soon the
lock broke and the door flew open.
Then he encountered a startling ap-
partition. There before him stood his
wife in her robe de mutt with a re-
vo1ver clutched in her hand, pointed
at his head and a desperate CLEAN in
her eyes.
Lawless ducked and yelled at her
not to shoot. She recognized his voice,
lowered the revolver and welcomed
him.
Mrs. Lawless afterward explained
that she and her niece had been sleep
ing in the back part of the house, hence
they did not hear the bell. She had
been awakened by the noise of some
one breaking into the house, and hear
ing the burglar" approach the inside
door, got her trusty pistol and pre-
pared to repel the intruder.
Mrs. Lawless says she was just about
the pull the trigger, and would I'M
doubtedly have fired but for her hus-
bands voice. Notwithstanding the
close shave experienced by Mr.. Law
less, he feels proud of his wife for her
bravery.
