Mr.. Rooseveit's Nomination.

Despite some of the evil features
attending the nomination, it is one
in which good citizens will rejoice,
because it shows that the people
still have a power which they can
be stimulated 20 exercise on SUI
preme occasions, and before which
the most absolute boss must give
way. Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination
will probably receive the hearty and
enthusiastic support of most of the
good citizens of the State of New
York. While it is too early to say
that is on augury Of good time
coming, it is fact that the nomi-
nation carries US back to better
days in the history of the State.
In point of character the candidate
is worthy Of the time before Plat
and Croker dominated the Repub-
lioan and Democrat machines. Mr..
Roosevelt is worthy successor of
the men who were Governors be-
fore the time of Cornell, and Mr..
Cleveland, the Only Governor wlo,
since Cornel's lime, has maintained
the OLD traditions. Mr.. Roosevelt
no matter on what grounds his own
canvass may be conducted, will be
supported by intelligent and think
ing citizens, because be is an able
and Intelligent MAJ, good admin
istr1tive officer; and a thoroughly
honest gentleman The presence OF
such man as he Is needed in AL
bany. because OF the crimes taat
have been committed by the officials
of the party which has now been
forced to nominate him as its candi-
date for Governor, and because OF
the condition in which men like Al
bridge and Payn have put the af-
fairs of tho State. We can trust
Governor Roosevelt to change the
men and the things who have dis
graced the Empire State during

MAJOR wmKINsoN's DEATH.


For thirty minutes there was a
ccaseless roar, and every little while
we heard the cries of those who had
been shot. saw Major Wilkinson
had been injured. heard him cry,
Ross, I've been wounded, but don t
give up"
The next moment, as he stood
right back of his firing line, calling
at the men: "Give it to them, boys,
I've got them going; give it to them;
they are towards and they are going
to run he staggered and lurched.
Ross ran towards him. s ~
"Give them hell, general, give
them hell" he called to General Ba-
con, who was taking aim at red
man. Then he fell into the arms of
the doctor, who carried him into a
log cabin st the crest of the hill,
where he died an hour and q half
later. There were two wounds in
his stomach and an artery was cut.
About the same time Private

fell he clapped one of his hands to
his head, and afterwards l learned
that he, Sergeant Butler, had been
killed instantly by shot through

out of sight up in the woods, behind
the cabin, and we could only lay on
the beach and wonder when our end
would come, for we did not know
but the soldiers had been annihilated.
There was no let up in the firing.

Eccentric Tides.

Owing to the effects of shore lines,
and other influences which are more
or less obscure, it is very difficult to
aeeountfor the peeuliarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts of
the world. Interfering waves cause
once-a-day' tides at Tahiti, and in
some other places, while on the other
hand, in the harbors back of the
Isle of Wight, and in the Tay in
Scotland, there are three tides in a
day. The latter have recently been
ascribed to ''oyertides,' produced by
the modification of tidal waves run
ming ashore, and resembling the
"'oyertones'- Of musical sounds.

Operations for Appendicitis.

There is really no medical cure
for appendicitis, even though some
cases recover without operation. is
the opinion of many eminent physi.
clans, and according to, experience,
though it is surgical disease,
operations may not he necessary in
every case, from the fact that the
allment is stoppage ofthe drainage
from the appendix to the colon, and
preliminary treatment is often
worse than useless. Tins thu opium
treatment, though relieving pain
and discomfort, entirely mask The
symptoms, at most important time,
for it is in the first twenty:four
hours from the beginning of the at.
tack that physicians can decide not
only to the diagnosis, hut as to the
probable course and results OF the
case. 1t is found for instance, that
if there is no increase in urgency in
five or elk hours the patient is not
in immediate danger when kept at
perfect rest in bed, and If in twelve
hours there is no increase in the
severity of the symptoms the pa
tient should begin to improve. On
the other hand, if the urgency Of
the case has steadily increased for
twelve hours from the time. when
the diagnosis was made, an operation
will probably be called for. After
two attacks patient is sure to have
q third. -

lin all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths. "
Proverbs 8 6.
King Jehoshaphat strengthened
the country with forces and garri-
soas; and the Lord was with him,
because he sought Hin, as his father
Asa had done.
He taught the people out of the
Book of the law of the Lord, and
the fear of the Lord fell upon all the
kingdoms, 50 that they made no war
against him. And they brought
him presents of money and focks;
and BUSINESS prospered, and his
army increased under five great gen
erals to 100000 mighty men Of
valor.
But he joined with that wicked
king Ahab against Ramothgilead,
where Ahab was killed as the Lord
had said; and Jehosaphat returned
in peace to Jerusalem. Then the
prophet Jehu reproved him forjoin-
ing them that hate the Lord; and
just men were set in the land, who
would judge in the fear of the Lord
without respect of persons or taking
OF gifts; and the preachers were
charged. "Thus shall We do in the
fear Of the Lord, faithfully, and with
perfect heart lest wrath
come upon you Deal cour-
ageously, and the Lord shall be with
you for good.' a7Y
Then a great multitude from be-
yond the sea came to fight him, and
he cried to the Lord, "Art not Thou
God in Heaven? and rulest not Thou
over all the kingdoms? ..z.. We
have no might against this great
company neither know we
what to do; but our eyes are upon
Thee" And the Lord answered.
'Be not afraid /. for the BATE,
tie is not yours, but Gods !. !. :. =. !.
Ye shall not need to fight in this
battle; set yourselves, stand ye still,
and see the salvation of the Lord
with YOU
They went into battle saying,
"Praise the Lord; for His mercy en-.
dureth forever and when they be-
gan TO sing, the Lord sent ambush
ments against the detachments Of
the enemy SO that they utterly de-.
stroyed each other, and Jehosaphat's
army was three days gathering the
riches and jwels Of the spoil. ss1
And every man returned to Jeru-
salem with thanksgiving and joy, and
the fear of God was on all Kingdoms,
when they heard that the Lord
fought against the enemies OF Israel.
After this Jehosaphat joined
wicked king Ahaziah to make ships
to go for gold, but God was against
him and the ships were broken.
"God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble :.
He maketh wars TO cease unto the
end Of the earth -. The Lord
of hosts is with US; the God of Jacob
is our refuge He says, "Be still,
and know that / am God: / will be

SNAKE POISON AND BILE.

It will be remembered that about
o year ago Prof. F. R. Fraser, f r.
8. published the results of some re-
searches which showed that the bile
of several animals possesses antidatal
properties against serpents' venom
and against the toxins of such dis
eases as diptheria te.anus, and that
the bile of Venomus or, more COR
fectly, of nocuous serpents is special
" powerful as an antidote against
the venom of serpents. The ex-
periments have been extended and
the new results are stated by prof
esser Fraser in "The British Medi-
cal Journal"
The most important conclusions
are that bile of nocuous or venom
Gus serpents is the most powerful,
antidote to venom, and is closely
followed in efficiency by the bile Of
innocuous serpents, while the bile
Of animals having no yenom-pro-
ducing glands-ss man and the OK,
pig and rabbit-while defnately an.
tidotal power Of the bile OF that ser.
pent. Extending these experiments
to the toxins of disease, Professor
found that the bile of the venomous
serpents examined had more antido-
tai power against the toxins Of dis
ease than the bile of the majority of
non-venomous animals. 1t is note.
worthy that among the non-yenom-
Gus animals the rabbit produced a
bile definitely superior to the others
in antidotal quality, against not only
toxins but also venoms.
