THIRD LETTER.
ON TRANSPORT SHERIDAN. I

On TRANSPORT SHERIDAN.
Nearing Port Said, which is a part of
the world called Asia. The Suez Canal
is the dividing line between Asia and
Africa, where the Egyptians are. We
pass within $50 miles of Jerusalem in
the Province of Palestine. Ihave often
heard ministers speak and explain
something of that place. I may get q
ceance to visit it myself before 1 get
around this world. 1t seems as if we
have made a good start for it.
wrote you letter from Gibraltar and
also one from Malta, and I am going to
start one from here, hoping you may
get them all. This letter leaves me
feeling well. I am lost for news; have
,, not read paper since the 10th of last
t, month.
We are living very good, considering
everything. You know I am small
eater, so 1 am easier satisfied than those
I who are hearty eaters. We have ber-
ries, bread, fresh meat, hardtack, coffee,
pickles, etc. We can buy oranges and

+, very cheap and in great abundance.

and blew and danced, and it jerked the
carpet frantically, but it kept getting
paler and weaker and its eyes began to
grow dim. Seeing this, Alexander re-
doubled his efforts. Never before did a
small boy beat a carpet fiend from one
end of the carpet to the other. He
struck at it wherever he saw it, and
kept at it so numerically that he at
last drove 1t into one little corner of the
carpet. There the monster, now all
faded out and feeble, clung for mo-
ment and then let go and went sailing
away over the orchard and looking like
a little dried-up spook.
"Hurrah, that's Spain!" shouted AL
exander, exultingly, as the fiend disap-
peared. Then he remembered the Ju-
nior volunteers, and all of his troubles
returned. 81 know it must be long
after noon," he said, with sigh, 'for
+, I'm awful hungry. Iwonder why ma
didn't call me to dinner?" He tugged
the now clean and bright carpet from
the line and started for the house.
"Why, Alexander" cried his mother,
| meeting him at the door with handful
| Of crisp doughnuts, you haven't got
all through-it's only half-past ten
| o'clock"
That noon the midday express, filed
with soldiers wearing tan leggings, blue
trousers, blue jackets and gray slouch
hats, passed through the town. On the
station platform stood Lieut.. Alexander
Socrates Olendorf q the head of the Ju-
venile volunteers, with Capt. Balls
sword at his shoulder, and he and all
his company gave the military salute to
the men of war who were speeding to
Florida.-Chicago Record.

how," he continued, picking up big
stick of wood and throwing it at the
carpet with all his boyish strength.
The piece hit the carpet square in the
center, and with SO much force that the
long strip of floor covering started back
with q grunt. Before Alexander had
time to make a move a great cloud of
dust puffed out from the carpet and
nearly blinded and strangled him.
Then, while he was rubbing his eyes
and trying to see, the carpet slapped
him across the face fiercely, and Alex
ander was sure he heard hoarse shout
of anger. Bewildered and scared he
/ jumped backward, but fell over the
stick of wood that he had thrown mo-
ment before. Lying fiat on his back
and with his legs still sticking up in the
air, Alexander rubbed the dust out of
his eyes and looked up, only TO be ap-
pailed by sight that made his back
tilgle and his hair feel as if it wanted
to stand on end, bnt was afraid to do it.
Right over him, and waving one arm
fiercely while shaking the carpet nois-
lily with the other, was a great black
monster staring out of cloud of dust.
1t had an enormous head and immense
| glaring eyes, and its cheeks were puffed
| out frightfully as it blew and blew and
| blew dust at Alexander's face. And
how it did wave its ugly arms and
wrinkle its black brows. Never before
had Alexander seen such an awful-look-
ing object as this carpet fiend. In spite
Of himself he gave yell of terror and
then rolled away as fast as he could.
When he finally got to his feet and
turned to look back the carpet was flap
ping on the line and a dust cloud foated
through the orchard.
Alexander's courage returned at once.
"Huh," he said; 'it's only the dust, and
! I'll just fool that old carpet if it tries to
scare me again." So, picking up the
carpet-beater, he walked determinedly
back, but his heart was humping like
! an alarm clock. Perhaps he would not
have attacked the carpet again if he
had not remembered that he was the
leader of the brave Juvenile volunteers
and could not afford to run from dan
ger.
At the very first blow from the carpet
beater the carpet fiend came clustering
out of cloud of dust, shaking it's arms
and legs wildly and g1aring frightfully
with its ugly eyes while it blew dust
into Alexander's face. Then it caught
hold of one end of the carpet anc
whirled it around the plucky boy and
toppled him over on the ground again
But Alexander's fighting blood was up
Getting to his feet he pounded the car
pet again and again with all his might
The carpet end struggled and pufret

The death of Bishop Watterson Of
the Columbus diocese was great loss
to the community as well as to the
church. He was a man Of sterling
worth, of clean hands and ennob-
ling influence. He set higher stand
ard for his people and for all people.
His position on the liquor question was
taken against great odds but 1t showed
that he was man of principle and that
he had convictions that he would main
tain at all hazards. Such characters
are source of inspiration and strength
to the common cause of right and
an encouragement to all who struggle
and hope for the upbuilding of our
civilization and the perfecting Of
American citizenship. Urbsns

BURNED TnR BOOK.

You put crock Ct new milk or roll
of fresh butter in chest or refrigerator,
where there are onions, sage, boiled
ham or other foods, and soon that milk
or butter will absorb much Of the qusli-
ties or taints of those various articles.
It will thus lose its own purity and sweet
ness. The same law obtains with the
soul of child. Take that child and
put him where he can absorb the miser-
able trash of the mordern novel or listen
to the rude, vicious or profane gabble OF
bad people, and very soon his mind
gathers the taint and offensive quality
of these objects by which he 10 sur
rounded. This is the law Of association.
Its rule is cruel and relentless. It's the
mission of dirt to extend its own sway.
These thoughts came to US on hearing
of the action Of a friend in the country.
One day he found his young daughter
reading q novel; SO at another time,
taking it from the table he read . few
pages himself. He found it was one Of
those fashionable novels that trided
with the sanctity Of home, by twining
soft suspicion OF wife and daughter, and
weaving into the mind dark doubts Of
virtue. The revelation deeply sadden-
ed and incensed him. He tore that
book into shreds and fragments and lAid
| it on the flaming CRATE to burn to black
cinder. The deed might have seemed
hash, but he was right; just - right -
if that book had been bottle of prussic
acid. There is no use toying and mine
| ing with these things. A parent who
permits his child to read . poisonous
book, contributes to his child's degra-
dation and ruin.-Ironton Register.

SANTIAGO BEcOnINO AMER.
ICANIZED.

George Kennan tells in 'sThe Out
look" how Santiago is becoming Amer
icanized. American hotels and restau-
rants bearing such names as the
'Lutrell House," the "United States
Hotel" the "American and French
Hotel" the "Arizona Saloon" the
California Saloon" and the Chicago
Restaurant" are now to be found in all
parts of the city; and the proprietors
even of Cuban and Spanish cafes invite
American patronage by means Of rudely
painted signboards setting forth in
quaint English the merits Of the food,
drink or entertainment to be found
therein. Among such signs that he
noted in the course of a days walk
about the city were:
..Svvet Meals"
Everything is here for sail"
'sHot lounches at oil houres."

DR.. Johnson's Regard for Truth.

1t was said of DR.. johnson that he
always talked as though he were TAX
ing an oath. He detested the habit of
lying or prevaricating in the slightest
degree, and would not allow his serv-
ants to say he was not at home if be was.
"A servants strict regard for the
TRUTH" said he, must be weakened by
such practice. If I accustomed my
servant to tell lie for me have not
reason to apprehend that he will tell
them for himself?" A strict adherence
to the truth the doctor considered as a
sacred obligation, and in relating the
smallest anecdote he would not allow
himself the minutest addition to en-
bellish his story.-Chicago Tribune.

Prof. Doremus, of New York, says
that washing lace curtains or any kind
of cloth in a solution of phosphate of
ammonia makes them so near fireproof
as to remove all danger of confagration
from that source. In view of the num-
erous disastrous fires started by curtains
being blown against gas jet or .
.. lighted lamp, the announcement Is an
important one. The remedy is 20 cheap
that it should be adopted by everybody.
