Put thou thy trust in God, and He will lead
Thy faltering footsteps through tempta-

He will sustain thee in thy time of need
And guide thee on to better, brighter days.
Weak from the constant battle with the
world.
Saddened with thoughts of resolutions

Against thy soul the shafts of sin are hurled,
Andin the struggle e'en thy will is slain.
But God is ever-watchful, and He knows
Thelonging of thy tired heart for strength,
His grace can reach thee through surround
ing foes,
And bring thee safely through them all.

So put thy trust in God: His loving care
Will be around thee like an armor strong,
His presence will be with thee everywhere,
And thou shalt walk unscathed of any
wrong.

Gold dust"

The gold that remains in the pan
after the earth has been washed away
is called dust" Some of it is fine
as the finest sand, some the size of q
pin head and some as large as pea
or the end of your little finger, but it
is all known as dust. Lumps the size
of hazelnut, a walnut, and larger
are called nuggets. You can buy as
much of anything you want for an
ounce of dust as you can for $40
gold piece. All stores in mining dis
tricts are provided with gold scales,
and the miners gold is accepted as so
much coin OF the realm. .-DenveE

What Was Not in 1s9..

Think of New York about one
century ago! It did not contain one
bathroom or single furnace. In
summer there was no ice. There were
no public stages, no matches and
there was no such thing as latchkey.
The streets were narrower than the
Liberty or Wall street of to-day.
They were widened. There was q
State law that commanded pedestrians
northward bound TO get out of the
way of those going south. Pigs were
the city scavengers. There was
scarcely any light from the miserable
lamps at night, and not man in the
city limits wore mustache.

She was much frightened, but noticed
that in intervals in which her stomach did
not annoy her, her hearts action became
normal. Reasoning correctly that her di-
gestion was alone at fault, she procured
the proper medicine to treat that trouble,
and with immediate good results. Her
appetite came back, the choking spells be-
came less frequent and finally ceased. Her
weight, which had been greatly reduced,
was restored, and she now weighs more
than for years. Her blood soon became
pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because
the disease is a very common one. That
others may know the means of cure we

give new life and richness to the blood and

Ideal CaulihOwer.

bage with college education''-is still
prominent in the markets, and IA
vorite with nearly every one, be sure
that the head is firm and white and
the leaves fresh and green. Dark
spots indicate one too long exposed.
Pick off the coarser outside leaves,
and soak top downward in cold salted
water for an hour, to bring out any
tiny insect or worm that may lurk
within. Tie in piece of cheese
cloth or coarse net to prevent break
ing, and cook in boiling salted watel
(uncovered) fifteen or twenty minutes,
until tender. Use no more water III
the cooking than is absolutely neces'
sary, as caulihower, like cabbage,
loses much of its food value by the
action of the water, drain, serve with
a cream sauce, or, to give it addition
al nutrient value, add to the cream
sauce three tablespoonfuls grated
cheese, pour over the caulifower,
sprinkle three tablespoonfuls more
over the top, then light layer OF
bread crumbs. Set in hot oven fol
about twenty minutes, or until a rich

Household Hints.

Mix stove blacking with vinegar
this will make it stick better and also
give better polish.
After washing lamp chimneys rut
them with dry salt, which will give a
brilliant polish to the glass.
A few thin slices of sour apples add
ed to salad of watercress, dressed
with French dressing, will be found
an improvement.
To cool hot dish quickly, set it in
cold water and salt; this will cool II
far more rapidly than if it were stood
in cold water only.
An excellent liniment for sprains,
bruises, pains, etc., requires in its
composition two ounces each of chic
roform, alcohol, ammonia water,
spirits of camphor and tincture OF
aconite root, and six ounces of sweet
spirits OF nitre. Mix and apply with
friction.
Eggs may be kept for winter use by
packing them in clean, sweet oats,
covering each row of eggs with the
oats. Nail up the box, and turn il
over occasionally. The oats must be
dry, and the box kept in dry place,
for if the oats mildew or get musty
the eggs will become musty also.

upon slightly reduced plan from that
generally used.
The don'ts for laundering white
silk handkerchiefs are: Don't iron
while wet with very hot iron, or the
silk will shrivel and spoil; don't fail
to rinse the soap thoroughly out of
them, or they will be coarse and hard
don't rub the soap directly upon

they will become yellow to certainty.

whaS right have you to say that Christ

IN while lad He must have had the

The Supreme Duty of the Hour.

Our readers must have observed how
continuously in our editorials we have
urged upon temperance workers the i'm
portance of assailing the fortress OF
moderate drinking and overthrowing that
stronghold as being the key to the situa-
titn. We are glad to see that Miss Willard.
in her address as President at the National
w. G. I. U. Convention, at Buffalo, called
attention to this strategic point In the battle
against alcohol. She said:
The supreme duty of the hour Is to con-
vince the II oderate drinker that he Is doing
himself harm. II only this belief was gem
eral, men would soon become q law unto
themselves to such degree that statutory
enactments would be but the outward ex-
preston of an inward grace. Upon the
sullen fortress of moderate drinking the
artillery Of temperance reform must con-
centrate in future years. 1t has been an
incalculablc gain to make drunkenness II,
disgrace instead of IN nnaiable pecullarity,'
rs it was 100 years ago; or pardonable.
peccadillo, as 1t was in the memory OF thel
oldest inhabitant or II necessary evil as 1t
was n generation back. The forces that
have worke2 to this end are precisely the
same that must now be directed against
so-called moderation. We must stoutly
maintain the position that there is no
moderation In the use OF what Is harmful.
Happily, in taking this position we have
great allies Of which the greatest is the
dictum of the modern Sciences

Doctors on Drink.

The twenty-seventh annual meeting of
the American Association for the Study
and Cure Of Inebriety was held in Boston,
under the Presidency OF DR.. Lewis d.
Mason
Among the papers read was one by DR..
L. d. Crothers, of Hartford, Conn, on
''The Insanity of Inebriety" He said there
were neurotic Storms which impeled men
to drink mt certain definite periods which
returned with the same regularity as the
tides. These were veritable insanities. A
large number of men thus affected were
suffering from paresis, also from moral
paralysis-a condition of things in which
the person was unable to determine his
proper relations to people in general. The,
continued use OF alcohol destroyed the
moral idea, and made the person untruth-
fui, dishonest. intriguing and unreliable.

Eeer and Dyspepsia.

DR.. Norman Kerr says that malt liquors
are one of the main sources of the indi-
gestion so common in our midst. The
continued irritation of the delicate lining
membrane of the stomach by the alcohol in
even the mildest beers persisted in for a
heightened period, Is extremely apt to give
rise to train Of dyspeptic symptoms,
which tends to make many an otherwise
happy life miserable. A lifetime of total
abstinence would, am persuaded, have
warded off two-thirds of the dyspepsia l
have been called upon to confront.
The liver suffers severely in many cases
in which beer has never been taken to eX-
cess. have frequently observed consid-
cradle enlargement of the liver in persons
noted for their very moderate but constant
drinking, who seemed the picture of health
while alive, but whose sudden and uneX-
pected death necessitated post mortem
inquiry.
In nursing, stouts and beers are especi-
ally pernicious. Their use has wrought
untold mischief to many mothers, and un-
dermined the tender constitution of vast
multitude Of helpless and innocent infants.
l have said nothing whatever of the
damage resulting from beer-drinking to
excess, or of the appalling extent of men
tai and normal evil inseparable from the
general social use of beer. My warnings
are on purely scientific and dietic grounds,
against steady, limited indulgence in such
liquors rs are weakening to the system,
and invite gout, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
other unhealthy bodily conditions.
There is no call for us to drink beer how
ever moderately. We can enjoy better
health without intoxicating drinks than
with them. Our Creator neither implanted
Il longing for them, nor provided supply
of them for our use. They are not, in the
true sense of the word, food. But
though they can do us little, if any, good,
they may do US much harm. Many are
killed by them, both for time and for
eternity, and even their continued moder-
ate use tends in the direction of loss OF
health, lessening of strength and shorten
ing Of life.
Let us ALL who desire to avoid gout
rheumatism and dyspepsia, shun ale, beer,
porter, stout and all other kinds of fer
mented and distilled liquors.

An Infiexible Rule.

There is a firm Of glass manufacturers in
Philadelphia which was established in the
early part of the century, whose founders,
strict and consistent members of the So
ciety of Friends, not believing in the manu-
facture or sale OF intoxicating liquors, es-
tablished a rule which has never been vio-
lated. These manufacturers have never
made whisky flask, nor any sort or de-
scription of bottle intended to contain
either malt, vinous or spirituous liquors.

Bad digestion, BAD Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregularity
of the hearts action. This irregularity
may be mistaken for real, organic heart
disease. The symptoms are much the same.
There is, however, vast difference be-
tween the two; organic heart disease is
often incurable; apparent heart disease is
durable If good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the Ne,o
Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col
som, Viewpoint, Ind, a woman forty-three
years old, had suffered for four years with
distressing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the Indigestion pressed on
the heart and caused an irregularity Of its
action. She had much pain in her stomach
and heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells, which were most
severe at night. Doctors we're tried in vain
the patient became worse, Respondent, and
feared impending death.

To make the matter short it has been
evident from the beginning that Evans
was not to be hanged. Governor Rus
sells conduct at the outset Indicated
this, and these respites, now five in
number, have been but puerile efforts OF
the Governor to shift the responsibility
upon the public. OF course, then
Evans win be pardoned, and it is more
than probable that he will be the last
rapist that will ever enjoy the privilege
of seeking pardon from Il North Caro-
lima governor. Our people bore them
selves nobly and allowed the law Il
take its course, with the assurance of it,
prompt and faithful execution. Now
where do they stand? Will they eveI
