REST.

After day of care and toll
Rest lulls Us to sleep at night
And after days of active work
How we welcome the Sabbath bright.
If the brain and the body are weary
There's no soporifie like rest,
Nature provides sedative sweet
In Morpheus" the myth we love best.
We know vegetation takes rest,
The winter is the sleeping time,
If not, there would be no buds in spring
No fruits, or autumns sublime.
God makes a coverlet of snow like wool
To keep all nature in a warmer cline.
He tueks hfs vegetable children in
And gives them resting time.
The mill-raee running its busy course
To the mill pond says, why idle here,
Bot the pond replies with the best Of grace,

The rain drops call back to the clouds up
above,
You lazy clouds, come down refresh the
earth;
The clouds call back if no clouds hung
above,
No rain drops would be given birth.

How sweet to be home and Our wanderinss

And when we have finished Our work here

We shall sleep and rest as we have in the

TALE OF TWO WOMEN.
They Have the Same Name-Contest
for House.
New York Tribune, l4th.,


When the case OF the two Sarah A.
Knights-one of New York and the other
of Havre de Grace, Nd, in the contest
for the ownership Of the house No. IL
west Twenty-eghth street-came up in
the Supreme Court yesterday, Il. II. Bud
long, counsel for the Maryland Mrs.
knight, withdrew her case, on the ground
that she had been laboring under a mis-
apprehension of the facts, and, Justice
Cohen consenting, this curious case ended.
The case has been considered one of
the most remarkable that have come be-
fore the court for long time. In 1889
Mrs. Sarah A. Knight. a wealthy New
York woman, purchased the house in dis
pute for $4,000. The title was made out
20 Sarah A. Knight, of Baltimore. There
was a woman named Sarah A. Knight in
Baltimore at the time. She has since
moved to Havre de Grace, Md. Ac-
cording to her story, a rich New
York relative had promised her
years before that she should be rich
some day. She heard of the deed tc
Sarah A. knight, OF Baltimore, and de-
cided that her ship of fortune had ar.
rived. She searched Baltimore for an
other Sarah A knight, she alleged, bu
could find none, and this strengthened hel
belief that the property was hers. ShC
was aware that tue deed TO Sarah A
knight had been executed by Nathanie
Bailey, but who Mr.. Bailey was the wo
man did not know. Subsequently sh,
decided the property over 10 Thomas C
Enos, friend. and then the New Yorl
Mrs. Knight heard of the transfer. Sh,
began an investigation, and, upon learn
ing the facts, sued 10 regain rightful pos
session of the property. The trial be
loc 90 nd
ed clearly that the New York Mrs. Knigh
was the real owner OF the property.
Mr.. Budlong arose at once when the
court opened yesterday and said he wish
ed to withdraw the defence. Eve were
unable to get at the real facts in the case
before trial." he said, "and we have been
laboring under a Misrepresentation. ] will
not take up the time Of the court with a
useless defence"
'"rhen you abandon the caser' asked
Justice Cohen.
YES" was the reply.
Observation-Disclosures Attorney Osborne
who appeared for the New York. Mrs,
Knight. asked permission to put Mr.. Bud.
long on the stand. "rhis woman OF
Havre de Grace has been used as an In.
strument against the city and county OF
New York." said Mr.. Osborne, "and we
want 20 get all tho facts we can for the
basis OF another action
In answer 10 questions, Mr.. Budlons
said he had never seen the Havre d,
Grace Mrs. Knight before the execution
OF the deed 10 Enos. He admitted that 9
Dr. Robert Johnson. OF Washington. haC
done some work In the case, but denieC
that he (the witness) had employed him
Mr.. Osborne iEtimated that DIR. johnson
had been the go-between I'm the case, anC
that he would be prosecuted crifninally.
Justice Cohen gave judgment In fnvol
OF the plaintiff, and declared the deed Il
Enos null and void. He also directed tha
the defendant pay Mr.. Osborne an extra
allowance OF 5000 costs.

MRS. ENGEL RELATES HER TWO
CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCES.
CHRISTMAS-TRBE FOR HALP-BREEDS
Toys Found Their Way Unexpected
~ Into the Alaskan Region, and
Were Bought for Any Price Asked.
BY Dog-Team TO the Party.
Correspondence of the Dispatch.)


NEW YORK, December 1S.-In the ten
der memories of Christmas that come to
me. now that am once more among
the friends and relatives in the East
whom / left TO accompany my husband
TO the ice-bound regions of Alaska, there
are none that 1 cherish more fondly than
my two Christmases in the Klondike.
The absence of those things that we have
been accustomed TO, but which We can
not have. makes us value more highly the
possessions that are at hand. If an
eastern woman, wife and mother, wishes
to learn how to appreciate little of the
blessings of this life and to cease pining
for those things which are beyond her
reach. then let her make a trip to the
Yukon and spend Christmas among the
miners of that northern region. 1t will
not be the same thing; quite, however,
as the Christmas that / spent there with
nv husband and children, for since then
the gold seekers have fiocked 10 Alaska.
TO their sorrow, most OF them, and new
corners have at least the advantage OF
association and numbers in making pro-
vision for merry time.
The first Christmas l spent In the
Yukon District was three years ago. We
lived in a log house at Fort Cudahy.
6fty miles from what Is now Dawson
CITY, and besides myself there was only
one white married woman there. II was
a comfortable little community. happy
and peaceful The gold-feyer hadn't be-
come epidemic then. My husband invited
two of his forlorn bachelor friends to
spend the day with us, and ] made ex-
tensiye preparations for a feast that was
TO be real Christmas treat. Turkey?
OH dear. no. Turkeys don't wander
around In the Klondike waiting TO be shot
for Christmas tables. Mince pie and
plum pudding? Not in the Yukon. Our
| dinner consisted OF a huge haunch OF
| roasted bear meat. cut from the carcass
| of an animal That had been shot hum
! dreds OF miles away. and glad enough W.
| were 10 get such royal fare. Bear
meat IL very much like roast pork and
| quite a dainty dish when properly pre-
| pared. We talked all day, with the
wooden blocks heaped up on the blazing
hearth. and the rough log walls Of our
| house rejecting cheerily the light from
| the flames that danced and sparkled
around the chimney corner. Outside Il
was very. very cold world christina

lleye that the women OF Nevada are 50

governing factor In opening the ring to
both sexes Is prooably the fact that the

Doubtless certain number of women
will avail them selves Of the opportunity
to attend the row, but we don't think
many of the upper class will be there.
In Mexico and Spain women are fre-
quent in ATTENDANCE upon the barba-

is because they are educated to sec no

that the same can be said of fistics in

SECTARlANISM IN COLLEGES.

Sectarianism is becoming less and
less reckoned AS q method by our best
colleges and we are pleased to note that
Brown University is not behind in the
opinion that On educational institution
is primarily for learning and not for
he inculcation of religious dogmas
One OF her honored sons bI ought this
fact ont very forcibly at the rerent
,.anquet of the University Club. While
Brown ia denominationally Baptist, it
is noted that few of her students have
sought her walls mere because she sub-
scribes to this branch Of the Christian
faith. There are men OF every denomi-
nation in her rank. Years ago 1t was
customary for parents when seeking
suitable college to which to send their
children, to choose that which repre-
sented their own ideas of the interpre-
tation of religions observance Now
they try rather TO find the school where
the best Instruction is to be obtained
It is far from our intent to decry the
va ne of religious influence upon the
college student. A young nan would
he poorly fitted for the discharge of
his duties in life if he absorbed with
his lessons the materialistic ideas of
Paine and Voltaire. A healthy growth
of the moral sentiment as taught in the
creeds Of the various churches is indis-
penseble to his welfare. But the day
when religion can be made method
is fast disappearing. It was at once
thought that the sectarian college
would lose its prestige aud patronage
were the religious idea subordinate to
that of learning. glance at the his
tory of Brown for the last two decades
will amply refute this foolish theory.
Never has the property and the stand
ing of the University among Its fellows
appeared to better advantage than at
the present day. It's students come
from all parts of the land and the
quality of timber turned out at this
institution is second to none.
There are few colleges that still
stick to the defunct idea that its own
particular articles of faith must precede
all other functions, but ,heir future is
dismal one. Their catalogues show a
falling off In attendance each year, and
sooner or later they must get into the
light OF day or pc rish.

Puritana is I cure.
The famous discovercr OF Puritana,
Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. d., IL. d., was
for :, wears at the head of Dartmouth
medical college.
He has founded a new method OF
common sense treatment, and has be-
come the most noted of all the great

He has given the world the secret OF
health. q
lie has shown the prime importance
of the human stomach.
All bodily power begins in the

All relief and cure must start there.
DR.. Crosby believed that If he could
make the stomach right he could make
the whole body right.
That is what Puritana does.
Palpitation of the heart is stomach

Poor blood is stomach symptom.
Headache is stomach symptom.
Troubles of the liver and kidneys are
stomach symptoms.
Puritana banishes all these symp-
toms.
1t strikes at the root of them all and
cures the stomach.
This is proven by thousands OF
