Dignity of Man.

1t is ill the moral and spiritual nature that the dignity of man appears to pos sess an advantage of his kinship with divinity based upon his immortal na- ture. This links him to tho chain of endless being. Possessed of God $ own nature man has power to grasp the in- tangible and see the invisible --Dr Kerr Boyce Tupper, Baptist, Chicago.
 Question of Character.
 So far as man is concerned the devils presence and temptations are to result in the development of character. Man decides tho question of character If God had made it impossible to sin, there could haye been no character Man at his best would have been ma chine, Neither virtue nor heroism would haYo been possible -Dr J. R. West wood, Methodist, Philadelphia.
 Actual Christian Life.
 Literary and dramatic Christianity will never be truly descriptive of the actual Christian life because there is so much of it that is beyond the power of human portraiture. The human ele- ments may be gwen With reasonable ac- curaey, but what makes the Christian life Christian is tho infusion of tho di- vine, and that is beyond tho power Of man to reveal except by suggestion. = Dr. A.

 en Have Large Feet.
 Under these cireumstances we fool, our first drive down Piccadilly and Europe to me dates from that moment. :, writes Miss LiliSn Bell ill The Ladies' Home Journal. ''The ship, the landing, the custom house, the train, the hotel all these were mere preliminaries to Europe, which began then. People told me in America how my heart would swell at this and how would thrill at Chat, but 1t was not so My first real thrill came on me in Piccadilly. It went all over me in little shivers and came out at the ends of my fingers and then began once more at the base of my brain and did it all over again.
 T remember nothing definite about that first drive. L for my part, saw with unseeing eyes. My sister had seen it all before, so she had the power of speech. Occasionally she prodded me and cried, Look, oh, look quioklyl' But I never sweryed. I can't look If I do, I shall miss something. You attend to your own window and I'll attend to mine Coming back I will see your side.
 When We got beyond the shops, I said to the eabman:
 .' Do you know exactly the way you havo como2
 .. Yes, miss, he said.
 Then go back precisely tho same way.
 Have you lost something, miss?' he inquired.
 ".Yes. 1 said, I have lost an im- pression, and l must look till find it. !" We did 1t all over again that after noon, and that second time l was able in measure to detach myself from the hum and buzz and the dizzying effect of foreign faces, and began to locate impressions. My first distinct recollec- tions are of the great numbers of high hats on the lnen, the il hanging skirts and big feet of the women, the unsteady ing effect of all those thousands of cabs, carriages and carts all going to the left, which kept me constantly wishing to shriek out, Co to the right or we'll be killedf the absolutely perfect manner in which traffic was managed and the majestic authority of the London po- lice D

The Plan Which Large Manufacture
 Found Successful.
 The question, What is to become ol the old man?' is one that is frequently discussed. Generally 1t is meant to ap- ply to men who have not been able to save sufficient money to support them in their declining years and whose eco homie efficiency has become impaired ny the passing of years To be depend ent upon their children or relatives is humiliation that would imbitter that part of their lives which should be free from care The almsheuse is horror of degradation from which they shrink In some countries the governments have endeavored to solve the problem by q system of labor pensions. This is done ill Germany; but, despite its merits, it still savers of charity or paterna1ism
 A few individuals have sought for a solution in this country. In at least one community the employer of LOGO men insures the lives of all his worlSmen up to $3, 900, and after 25 years of continu- ous service an employee may retire and continue to draw full wages as long as he lives To do this the employer says that it costs him not over per cent of his wages account, which he regards as the cheapest possible insurance against strikes and against the disturbance caused by constantly changing his work ing force He puts by every year that small percentage of his profits to the ac- count of wear and tear upon labor, just as he does larger percentage to the ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery. He is an earnest advocate of national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government but by an associa- tion of employers New York Mail and Express,

 ing of the Honeymoon.
 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sproek- ett had been married nearly three weeks, and they had just returned from their wedding trip They were supremely happy i'll each others love, and the honeymoon so far bad been to them as one long, blissful dream. Within the next day or two, however, tho brida grew slightly depressed i'll spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos session of her. The young husband no ticed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on such troubled expression that he said to her:
 "You have something on your mind, darling, that is troubling you. Tell me what it is. ;" At first she tried to persuade him that he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 "You are wrong, Charley, dear. she would say Really, am not wor- rying over anything. 1 am just as happy as can be. , The day following, however, the young wife wore such troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must tell me what ia troubling you. I will not be put off any longer As your husband have right to know
 Seeing that further concealment was l Impossible, she broke down and sobbe bitterly:
 "Oh, Charley, l am 50 unhappyi" she walled "I have--deceived-you. |" A sicl1ening sensation swept over the young husband. Surely there must be some mistake. She, whom he had looked upon SIS the pcrsonifcation of innocent omanhood-deceiye him It must not be. It would destroy his happiness and l blight his life And then, when he caught sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to the floor Then, with Q great effort, hs controlled his feelings.
 ''Tell me, he said. ''I am prepared for the worst.

 Then she came over and knelt at hii feet.

have to be physician to understand the causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching effects. When mans digestion is disor- dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels inac- tive, the blood is deprived of the proper food elements, and the sluggish liver and bowels supply in their place, the foulest of poisons. The blood is the Iife-stream When it is full of foul poisons, it carries and deposits them in every organ and tis- sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and flesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve flores are all fed upon bad, poisonous food Serious ill-health is bound to result. The man is weakened in every fiber of his body. He is weakened physically, mentally and morally. He suffers from sick headache, distress il stomach after meals, giddiness and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep, bad taste in the mouth, shakiness iii the morning, and dullness throughout the day, and lassitude and an indisposition to work. Sooner or later these conditions develop consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, rheumatism, or some blood or skin disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery Is the best of all known medicines for ambi- tious, hard working men and women. It Is the great blood-maker and hesh-builder
 It makes the appetite keen and hearty, and the digestion and assimilation perfect the liver active, the blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the body vigorous and the brain alert. Where there is also constipa- tion Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used. Both of these great medicines are for sale by all medicine dealers.

WHEELING, July Exchanges that
have an important bearing upon the
coal strike situation in West Virginia
comes slowly. The state taken as a
whole is against the strike for financial
reasons, and all who have struck have
been brought out under the pressure of
the organizers and agitators from else
where
Generally they have been shamed
into striking and their minds change
when the agitatOrs move on 70 other
sections In the FairmOnt region, Debs
admits that he is sorelv discouraged, .1G
of the Monongah men brought out
having returned to work. The FAIR
mont managers declare that If the
Watson men, about 1000 IN number,
can be kept at work the other mines
will be working tomorrow as usual.
Debs spoke at RivesvilIe to the Wat
son men, but he was not so successful
as at Fairmont and no union was
organized Today he will speak at
WorthingtOn and Minersville to more
of the Watson men. 1t is predicted
that he will have no better success.
The Watsons and their men are on
excellent terms and neither side mas
any grievance. They lead the region
in production and profits and have the
miners tied up III agreeable contracts to
purchase cheap homes and to furnish
necesSaries in sickness and death. The
miners have cause to like and respect
the Watsons and will probably stick TO
them. Rev. John ChenOweth, who
breaches to the Watson miners, says he
never saw employers ana men ON bet

1t transplres that Debs has been
shadowed by two Einkerton men and
that he has been threatened with death

SWALLOWS PLEA GRANTED.
The Superior Court Received the Doc
tors Motion FaNorabIY.


PHILADELPHIA, July 21.-The case of
DR.. c. S. Swallow of Harrisburg, editor
of The Pennsylvania Methodist, who
was fined $500 and costs for hbeling
Captain John c. Delaney, superintend-
ent of public buildings, came up before
the superior court here upon motion
for Il supersedeas and stay of proceed
ings III the Dauphin county court.
Counsel for DIR. Swallow said to the
court that the supersedeas would be
almost necessary to secure justice for
Dr.. Swallow, as, if the proceedings
were not stayed, DIR. Swallow would be
forced to pay the fine, and if the court
should reverse the decision of the lower
: court he would have no way under ex-
listing acts of assembly TO get restitu-
tion. 1t was also alleged that the
charge against DR.. Swallow was not an
indiCtable Offense. Judge Rice asked
counsel to present to the court in writ
ing the points raised in the application
for the superSedeas. This was done ana
later in the day was presented TO the
court, and the motion was granted.
