Have a sitting room with at least one easy chair, even though you have to take turns at sitting in it, and books out of the public library or of your own purchase for the making of your family intelligent, and checkerboards, and guessing matches, with an occa- sional blind mans buff, which Is of all games my favorite. Rouse up your home with all styles of innocent mirth and gather up in your children's nature a reservoir of exuberance that will pour down refreshing streams when life gets parched, and the dark days come, and the lights go out, and the laughter Is smothered into sob.
 First, last and all the time have Christ in. your home. Julius Caesar calmed the fears of an affrighted boat man who was rowing in a stream by saying, "So long as Caesar is with you in the same boat, no harm can hap pen" And whatever storm of diversity or bereavement or poverty may strike your home, all is we'll as long as you have Christ the king on board. Make your home so farreaching in Its infiu- ence that down to the last moment of your children's life you may hold them with a heavenly charm. At 16 years of age the Demosthenes of the American senate lay dying at Washington mean Henry Clay of Kentucky. His pastor sat at his bedside, and 'the old man eloquent" after a long and excit- ing public life, transatlantic and cis- atlantic, was back again in the scenes of his boyhood, and he kept saying in his dream over and over again, My mother, mother, mother" May the parental influence we exert be not only potential, but holy, and so the home on earth be the vestibule of our home In heaven, in which place may we all meet-father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandfather, grand mother and grandchild, and the entire group of precious ones, of whom we must say in the words of transporting Charles Wesley:
 One family dwell in him,
 One church above, beneath,
 Though now divided by the stream
 The narrow stream of death;
 One army of the living God,
 To his command we bow;
 Part of the host have crossed the food
 And part crossing now.

Of the TIT Persons on Board Only
 One Was Lost.
 The steamer Portia, New York for Halifax, was wrecked during dense fog on Monday evening on Big Fish shoal, off Sambro, a point about 15 miles to the eastward of Halifax. The only victim of the wreck was a 12-year-old Assyrian lad known by the name of Basha, who was travelling second class from New York to St. Johns, N. F., where his mother lives. The others on board the steamer, includ- ing 70 passengers and crew of 34 off, cers and men. who were landed safely at Sambro island, were cared for there dur ing the night and in the morning taken to Halifax.
 Fortunately the weather was moderate and the sea running not very high, else the landing of those on board the steam CT could not have been accomplished without great danger and perhaps loss of life. The steamer with her cargo is a total wreck.
 Few of the passengers ventured below to recover their valuables after they learned that they were in danger. The Portia had an unusually large number of passengers on board, and her stateroom was crowded. The passenger list was lost, as well as all the ships papers.
 The Portia was recently renovated for the summer passenger traffic She had large cargo on board. part for Halifax and the remainder for St. Johns, N. K. A number of passengers had tickets for St. Johns, intending to make the round trip. The steamer Silvia of the same line was entering the harbor from the eastward at the very hour the Portia struck on Big Fish.
 The Portia was an iron, schooner rig ged screw steamer of -732 tons register, 220 feet long, 31 feet wide and 23ia feet deep. She was built at Newcastle in 1884 and was owned in New York

character of the paper from commercial to literary publication. Fanny Fern at that time was a literary sensation. Her novel, Ruth HaI," had just ap- peared, and both the work and its author were being criticised all over the country. MT. Bonner engaged Fanny Fern to write story for The Ledger, paying her S1 ,OO0, which at that time was regarded as an exorbitant price. Mir. Bonner ad- vertised this story as nothing ever had been advertised before. He spent fabu- lous sums and in the magnitude of his advertising displayed the remarkable business skill for which he thereafter was famous.
 From the appearance of this S1 ,000 story from Fanny Fern the success of The Ledger was assured. It soon attain ed phenomenal success, and Mir. Bonner commanded the writings of the leading literary, professional and political per sonages. He paid Henry Ward Beecher S30,00O for his novel "Norwood;" he paid Lord Tennyson $5,O0O for poem and Charles Dickens a like amount for story, the only story he ever wrote for an American publication.
 Mir. Bonner was greatly interested in fast horses, though not a patron of the turf. He owned many of the great rec ord breakers, including such celebrities as Dexter, Rarus, Maud s and Sunol. He paid $40,000 for Maud S, buying her from William H. Vanderbilt. Rarus cost him $36,0 and he paid S20, ,000 for Edward Everett and $20,000 for Star ter MT. Bonner always said that he had never made bet, borrowed a dollar or given a note in his life.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Applied to Present Conditions, Inter-
 esting to Our Readers.

It's singular thing how trifling an incident will often change the worlds history. If the country gentleman liv- ing in Cheshire, England, had not by accident been thrown from his coach into the lap of young lady, the pair might never have married, or migrated to the American colonies, and thus the world would never have known of George Washington as the father of our country. So it is in the daily life of everyone, little things" occur which af- feet the future Mir C. R. Goeway. night baggagemaSter on the Old Col ony road, Fitchburg, Mass, knows well how fortune smiles at times on the af- hicted, in showing how relief is near at hand. His experience and advice is given in the following words. He says:
 For twenty years 1 suffered a great deal with weak kidneys, and the train of consequences which always follow when these organs are either overexcit- ed or disturbed. When the attacks were at their height, the secretions from the kidneys were too frequent, and caused considerable annoyance. During the period mentioned, 1 used different reme- dies, and may have obtained relief occa- sionally from some of them, but up until I took a thorough course of the treatment prescribed for Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 never received any permanent benefit In addition to effectually checking the last attack, my general health since I stopped the treatment has been very much bet ter l shall be only too pleased to rec ommend Deans Kidney Pills to any inquirer"

Demise of the Founder of the New
 York Ledger.
 Robert Bonner, editor, churchman and lover of fine horses, died at his home on West Fifty-sixth street, New York, on Thursday.
 MT. Bonner was born in the north of Ireland on April 2S, 1924. He spent his early youth in Connecticut, obtaining there common school education. He entered the composing room of the Hart ford Courant while still a lad. The American Republican engaged his serv- ices in 1914, in which year MT. Bonner became a New Yorker. He soon after ward became interested in a small mer- cantile paper known as The Merchants Ledger, which had limited circulation and was devoted mainly to commercial affairs.
 Upon The Merchants Ledger he thought he saw an opportunity to build. He soon bought the paper, assumed the editorial chair and gradually changed the

 General Wheeler is much pleased with his assignment to the Philippines. "I be- lieve, now that the rebellion is on, that it should be stamped out" he said. "The sooner it is done the better 1t will be for the Filipinos, as well as for the United States. Every loyal American should support the administration iH its efforts to terminate the strife and to set up a good government in the Philippines. am glad to be able to lend my aid to the government at this time, when it is in need of support. 1 shall place myself at the disposal of General Otis and endeav- or to do my duty as soldier"

Plea For Children.
 Young married man, as soon as you can, buy such place even if you have to put on 1t mortgage reaching from base to capstone. The much abused mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless man, to one prudent and provident is the beginning of a competency and fortune for the reason he will not be satisfied until he has paid 1t off, and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all opportunities and all luxuries until you can say, Everything in this house is mine, thank God-every timber every brick, every foot of plumbing, dren born In boarding house, and do not yourself be buried from one. Have place where your children can shout and sing and romp without being over hauled for the racket. Have kitchen where you can do something toward the reformation of evil cookery and the lessening of this nation of dyspeptics. As Napoleon lost one of his great bat ties by an attack of indigestion, so many men have such a daily wrestle with the food swallowed that they have no strength left for the battle of life, and, though your wife may know how to play on all musical instruments and rival a prima donna, she is not well educated unless she can boil an Irish potato and broil mutton chop, since the diet sometimes decides the fate Of families and nations.

Says last Wednesdays Commercial

Says last Wednesdays Commercial
Tribune:
Forty directors, including Colonel A.
E. Boone and directors who have been
instrumental in securing franchises and
subscriptions tor the Black Diamond
Railroad in the various states through
which the road will run, met at the
Grand Hotel yesterday to confer with
T. O. Dickinson, of Washington, d. g.
Mr.. Dinkinson is the financial promoter
of the enterprise, and he has just re.
turned from q conference with Sir
Thomas Tancred, the eminent engineer,
OF London. Mr.. Dinkinson last night
informed q Commercial reporter that
the meeting with the directors yester-
day was entirely satisfactory, and that
nothing stands in the way Of the early
success of the enterprise.
"The English capitalists represented
by Sir Thomas Tancred," Mr.. Dickin-
son declared, "acting on the unquali-
fedly favorable report made by Sir
Thomas, have agreed to finance the pre-.
liminary work on the section of the
road between Clay City, KY, at the
edge of the 25O miles of coal fields, and
we hope to have all details finished and
begin work in three months The road
from there to the terminus, Port Royal,
8. G., we hope to have finished within a
year.
"There will be strong American capi.
talists interested with the English in
the enterprise, and it is our hope that
the entire line, 1885 miles in length,
will be completed within three years.
The main line, $50 miles in length, runs
between Columbus, o.. and Port Royal,
and there are branch lines to Vincennes
and Greenfield, Ind. Cincinnati is also
on one of the branch lines.
1--WE consider that the success of the
enterprise is assured, and that the great
double track trunk line is now certain
to be built without unnecessary delay.
Sir Thomas Tancred is an authority on
railroad construction, as everybody
knows. He built the great Firth of
Forth Bridge, the Delagos Bay Railroad,
the Tshauntepec Railroad, and the
White Pass Railway, and when he said
he was only surprised that our route
had been 90 long unused he expressed
An enthusiasm about the enterprise that
at once enlisted the cooperation of his
associates.
''Our route is the most direct one to
the South, and with the construction of
the Nicarauga Canal will afford the
most direct route to Greytown, and will
inevitably become the great thorough
fare for trade with the West Indies -
we'll % the Orient"
The directors and others will remain
here for day or two attending to va
rious matters in connection with the
work in hand.
