A Wasted Sermon.

noyed by the persistenoy with which
one Of her scholars plays truant She
was on the point Of reporting his case,
when she spoke to one Of the lady su-
pervisors. This lady believes in kind
ness rather than harsher measures and
told the teacher to send the offender to
her house the next time he was trouble
some.
So one afternoon there appeared at the
lady's house boy. The supervisor was
all smiles and attention. and she treat
ed him to "spread" the like of which
he probably had never enjoyed before
He was soon made to feel perfectly at
home.

''is the time TO preach my little ser

of playing truant and besought him to
be model boy in the future.

LAWLESSNESS.

Capt. Harry Brown, Pawtucket division
Salvation Army, has a good voice and he
knows it. He also has a concertina that is
not as nice as the voice, although they are
inseperable. The combination Is in
trouble. Pawtucket's main business street
is narrow, and on Saturday evenings when
all stores are open and thousands OF citi-
zens are distributing their weeks wages,
it is almost impossible. 1t is on such oc-
casions that Capt. Brown revels in being
seen and heard. The police have been for
bearing and have repeatedly asked that
the Army meet them half way In their at
tempts to secure public comfort, by re-
framing from collecting crowds at times
when every one should keep moving. On
Saturday evenings in particular Chief Rice
would give the concertina rest and the
Captain a vacation. On last Saturday
night the procession OF shoppers was ali
that the street should hold, but into its
midst the Captain thrust his chorus and
actually held the fort against all passage

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Both Bradstreet's and Dun's Review
take a very hopeful view of the business
situation. The latter authority lays stress
on the restoration of confidence, due to
the passage of the tariff bill, while the
remarkable rise In wheat, In connection
with the gold discoveries In Alaska, must
make for welcome changes. Bradstreet's
says that the widespread confidence that a
marked revival in general trade will follow
In the fall continues to grow and along
with this belief is material evidence in the
shape of general distribution OF mer-
chandise at various points that is less than
active.

a WONDERFUL POND.

Human Eyes Are often Inhabited by
Large Numbers Of Living Creatures.
The water contained in well de-
veloped, well formed eye in which the
sight is not impaired, more especially
where q person is farsighted, presents
many curious phenomena. Looking
through an open window in daylight
upon a hazy atmosphere or upon fog
such as is seen in any city. or looking
to the north upon gray atmosphere,
one will see, IL conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
in the eye water. 1t has been my privi-
lege to watch these organisms for sew
eral years, fitting about in the eye
water, jumping toward each other again
in strife and combat, in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear of amebiform organisms, only to
be again full of micrococci and the COM
bats as above.
The various shapes of these animal
culB are surprising. Some are attenu-
ated, with fine filaments. Again. others
are like wee bits of fine porcelain, with
little projections, reminding one OF
turtles hopping about. Again, others
present the appearance Of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is q mystery-perhaps in the
water we drink or foods we eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies Of water,
is q truth that can be proved positively,
beyond peradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract a diseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation Of these
organisms in the eye water, their rapid
growth and the survival of the fittest
or strongest be the cause Of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation
Of the eye water, 80 called paralysis OF
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms Of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other pains be caused by the overac.
cumula$ion or growth Of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the cir
culation Of the active principle Of life
in the arterial circulation or the nerv'
ous forces? The same organisms are seer

Strange Domestic Pets.

This animal be succeeded in tanning
and transformed from forest terror
into domestic pet. Charles James Fox
had young tiger which showed great
affection for him, until one day, while
licking its masters hand, it scraped of
the skin. At the first taste of blood its
dormant instincts returned, and its
glaring eyes revealed to Mr.. Fox his
danger. Without attempting to remove
his hand he led it by gentle words into
the next room, where loaded pistol
hung over the mantelpiece. Reaching
it down, he shot his now dangerous pet
through the head.

This is a story that an Alabamian
tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-
tor Pugh: "During Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration Mr.. Pettus was
anxious to fill the place on the supreme
court bench to which Senator Lamar
was afterward appointed. He applied
to his friend Senator Pugh, and the
latter made an earnest and sincere ap-
peal for the appointment of Mr.. Pettus.
The president inquired as to the age of
Pettus, and when informed said he was
too old. Senator Pugh communicated
this fact to Pettus, and also suggested
to another eminent but younger lawyer
in his state to apply for the place, as it
was a settled fact that southern man
would surely succeed to the vacancy.
Senator Pettus heard of Senator Pugh's 8
letter to the other friend, and it made
him mad Coming to Washington. he
called ON Pugh and asked him why he
did not stand out for him. Pugh ex-
planned that Mr.. Cleveland would not
alter his determination about not ap-
pointing q man of Pettus' age, but this
did not satisfy Pettus. Before leaving
Pugh Pettus said, We'll, I may be too
old to sit on the supreme bench Of the
land, but am not too old to sit in the
senate. and your seat will just about at
me. Pettus was as good as a prophet.

WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
ONE MAKES US WEAK; THE OTHER
MAKES US STRONG.

Wrong eating makes US weak, because 1t
doesn't nourish US. 1t poisons US, because
1t sets up poisonous fermentation In our
stomach and the poisons go into our
blood.
Wrong eating is eating indigestible food
or eating more than our stomach Is able to
digest.
Right eating is eating digestible food,
food that the stomach Is able to digest,
food that will nourish you when 1t Is di-
gested.
Right eating strengthens and invigorates
the body, gives endurance, increases
weight and restores health.
Wrong eating can be made right by TAX
ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
preparation, made by the Shakers from
simple herbs, roots and wine, is delicious,
refreshing, and strengthening to the body
1t is powerful aid to digestion.
1t does NOT act by strongly stimulating
the stomach, but with its own digestive
ferments acts on the food in the stomach,
and reduces, instead of increasing, the
work which the stomach has to do.
This is why it increases your strength
why it will cure you of all the bad effects
of Indigestion and of insufficient nourish-
ment, and purifies your system Of all dan
gerous indigestive poisons, when nothing
else has been found to relieve you.
