RAMS HORN BLASTS.
Warning Notes Calling the Wicked to
Repentance.

To have bad habit is to have a
hard master.
Trust in God is the truest prayer
that can be made.
God judges no man either by his
worst or his best.
The man whose cause is wrong is
sure to be the loser if he gains it.
God prepares us for great things by
drilling us we'll in little ones.
Every true Christian is a magnet
drawing somebody toward Christ.
Putting little thoughts in big words
don't make them weigh any more.
There is flaw in the piety that
looks dismal at prayer meeting and
happy at a circus.
One point in the devils favor is,
that theaters are generally better ven
tilated than churches.
What a strain it would be on both
for the spirit of lion to have to live
in the frame of a donkey.
For every false pleasure the devil
promises, God is trying to give us a
thousand real ones.
Elijah had to learn how to get his
bread from Heaven before he was
trusted to call down fire.
One difference between a fool and
a wise man is, that the fool talks most
when he has least to say.
To remember that Jesus said, "Lo,
/ am with you always" should make
the weakest Christian strong.
The Christians idea of prosperity
is not something that can be measur-
ed by the state of the flour barrel.
When heating \ furnace for your
foe, do not forget that there is some
danger of your being thrown into it.
The Christian whose life is full of
conflicts for which he is not to blame
is man whom God can trust.
Many a church member is content
with being a nickel-in-the-slot ma
chine, who might be an electric
motor.
You can tell a child that fire will
burn, but it cannot understand what
you mean until it finds out for itself.

A HALL OF SUICIDES
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN WITH THos
WHO HAVE SUICIDAL MANIA.

Attendants.
In the BlOomingdale asylum
White Plains there is a ward, or hal
an 1t is called, in both the male an
Female divisions, set apart especial
FOR the safekeeping of patients nj
nicted with suicidal mania. Not
movement of the patients confine
there goes unobserved.
At Z o'clock in the morning they ar
obliged to vacate their rooms in
body, and the doors are locked benin
Gem, while they dress in the corrido
outside. They then repair to the was
yoOm in companies Of three or foul
accompanied by an attendant VIII
Keeps them under surveillance.
The meals are served in light an
aAry dining room overlooking the asy
hmm grounds. AS the patients pas
through the door and take their seat
1t the tables they are counted, and
one is found missing an immediat
search is begun. They have the sam
food that is provided for every othe
hall in the ASYLUM. but are deprive,
of many articles Of table service
Knives and forks are never seen in thi
ball. The patients are obliged to ca
with spoons. Glassware Is also pro
hfbited, and they drink from heav.
china cups. While eating they ar
watched by attendants, whose duty
II to see that they do not take ava.
anything from the table when tn
meals are over. In order to be doubl,
sure of this every spoon and piece o
crockery is counted before and afte
each meal. Between meals these arti
cles are kept under lock and key.
About an hour after breakfast an,
dinner the patients are taken for thei
daily exercise in the asylum grounds
J accompanied by attendants. Durinl
these walks they have to be most care
fully watched, in order to proven
them from picking up any articl
which might be used to commit sui
eide after they have returned to th'
hall. On one occasion n man who wal
known to have made several attempt
at self-destruction before being sent t,
the asylum, came very near eludin,
the vigilance of his keepers. Will,
walking with the other patients in tn,
grounds his eye CHANGED to light upoI
q little piece of broken glass lying nea
the path. He was cunning enough t.
know that if he stopped to pick it up
he would be observed; so he feignet
tD stumble. and fell in a heap on thu
ground, securing the coveted articl,
and secreting it in his pocket. His ac
tOns on returning to the hall fortu
nately aroused the suspicious of the
attendant. He was searched and thu
glass was found.
From the moment they lay thei
heads on the pillows until it is time t.
rise in the morning, two attendants
one at each end Of the hall, watcl
them. If one should move in bed il
a manner to excite the suspicion of the
watchers they are at his bedside in s
moment to see what he is about. The
strain placed upon the attendants il
the hall of suicides is so great thai
some Of them are unable to stand II
for more than few weeks at time
Then they ask for a transfer to an
other hall, or else resign.-New York

Pecos." Leslie's Weekly tells an anec.
dote of him when he sat as Coroner
and held an inquest ON the body Of a
nan who had met a violent death by
'aliihg from the great railway bridge

volver and forty dollars in cash in his
pocket when he was killed. After
swearing in a jury and looking over
the effects of the dead man, Judge
Bean said: Gentlemen of the Jury,
there amt no doubt how this man
came to his death; that's all plain; but
what I would like to show is why in
the name Of thunder he carried that
gun. Now, gentlemen, it's agin the law
to carry a concealed and loaded gun
in the State of Texas, and jist because
this gentleman took it into his head to
get killed don't mean to let him Of
