cite and Iowa counties, along the line
of the Mineral Point branch of the St.
Paul railroad. a downpour began
there about midnight, and it is esti-
mated that four inches and a half of
water fell between that time and morn

tons of the country about there, but
caused half Il dozen quite heavy wash
outs along 10 miles Of the Mineral Point
line, between Mineral Point and Cal
mine, cutting off traffic on athe branch
entirely. In all, about II mile Of track
was washed out. The most serious
washout was at GratiOt junction, near
Darlington, where the track was badly
undermined and portions of it was
swept out of line. From there to Gala
mine the track was badly washed out
in places. Barns and outbuildings were
overturned in many places. At Madi-
son large trees We're uprooted in Capitol
park and the telephone system was rem
dered useless by tangled wires.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The presi-
dent has nominated Stewart L. Wood
ford Of New York to be minister to
Spain.
Mr.. Woodford is an old friend Of
Senator Platt, and the two have been
on intimate terms since they were COL
leagues in congress a score of years ago.
Senator Platt vigorously urged him for
a cabinet position, trying to have him
made secretary Of the interior. Mr..
Woodford has made a fortune in his
law practice, aud Republican friends
speak of him as a natural diplomat.
His nomination has been foreshadowed
in gossip about the Office for some
weeks. The cabinet talked the matter
over at its last meeting and the presi-
dent referred to several persons sug-
gested for the post and intimated that
the preference was with Woodford.
There is excellent authority for the

How Habit Grows and straneles.

Mr.. spurgeon says that he saw, while on 2
visit to the gardens Of Hampton Court,
many trees almost entirely covered and
well-nigh strangled by the huge coils OF ivy
which were wound about them like the
snakes about the unhappy LAGOON. There
is no untwisting the folds; they In their
giant grip are fast fixed, and the rootlets o.
the climbers are constantly sucking the life
Of the trees. There was day when the Ivy
was tiny aspirant, only asking little aid
in climbing; had 1t been denied, then the
tree need not have become its victim, but
by degrees the humble weakling grew In
strength and arrogance, and at last 1t as
sumed the mastery and became the destroyer.
Just the same with the beginning or sin {
the least little act Of disobedience, it may
be a lie, then another, then something else,
and they become alarmingly frequent, and:
each time little more wicked, until they
gain the mastery over us, and overwhelm
us and at last drag our souls down to hell.
Every man is tempted when he Is drawn
away Of his own lusts. and enticed. Then
when lust hath conceived, 1t bringeth forth
sin; and sin, when it Is finished, bringefh
forth death. &c. W. Bibb. Sf

the wisdom OF Gods choice for you. You
will one day see that the thing you wanted
was only second best. You will be-
surprised to remember that you once
nearly broke your heart and split the. wine OF
your life for what would never have satisfied
you If you had caught it, as the child the,

again your beloved. You will have again
your love. You will become possessed OF q,
depth of character, breadth OF sympathy,
fund of patience, an ability to understand
and help others, which, as you lay them at

glad that you were afflicted. You viii see
