= After the sharpest winter the spring

- After the sharpest winter, the spring
dismounts from the shoulder of a
southern gale and puts its warm hand
upon the earth, and in its palm there
comes the grass, and there come the
flowers, and God reads over the poetry
of bird and brook and bloom, and
pronounces 1t very good. What, my
friends, IL every winter had not its
spring. and every night its day, and
every gloom its glow, and every bitter
now its sweet hereafter? II you have
been on the sea, you know, as the
ship passes in the night, there Is a
phosphorescent track left behind 1t:
and as the waters roll up they toss
with unimaginable splendor. Well,
across this great ocean of human
trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that in the
phosphorescent track of his feet we
might all follow and be illumined!
There was a gentleman in rail car
who saw in that same car three pas
sengers of very different circum-
stances. The first was a maniac. He
was carefully guarded by his attend
ants; his mind, like ship dismasted,
was beating against a dark, desolate
coast, from which no help could come.
The train stopped, and the man was
taken out into the asylum, to waste
away, perhaps, through years OF
gloom. The second passenger was a
culprit. The outraged law has seized
on him. AS the cars jolted, the chains
ratified On his face were crime, de-
pravity and despair. The train halt
ed, and he was taken out to the peni-
tertiary, to which he had been con-
demned. There was the third passen-
ger, under far different circumstances.
She was bride. Every hour was as
gay as a marriage bell Life gilt
tered and beckoned. Her companion
was taking her to his fathers house.
The train halted. The old man was
there to welcome her to her new home.
and his white locks showed down upon
her as he sealed his word with a
fathers kiss. Quickly we fly toward
eternity We will soon be there. Some
leave this life condemned culprits, and
they refuse a pardon. Oh, may it be
with us, that, leaving this fleeing life
for the next, we may find our Father
ready to greet lis to our new home
with him forever! That will be mar
riage banquet. Fathers welcome!
Fathers bosom! Fathers kiss!
Heaven! Heaven!

The medical evidence went to prove

who had undertaken the arduous toll

What became of Edwards second

DIET FOR RHEUMATISM.
Fruits, Grains and Nuts and Free Use
of Water.


Unquestionably the most active
cause of rheumatism, as we'll as Of
migraine, sick headache, Bright's dis
ease. neurasthenia and a number of
other kindred diseases is the general
use of flesh food, tea and coffee and al
coholic liquors, says Good Health. AS
regards remedies, there are no medi-
cal agents which are of any permanent
value in the treatment of chronic
rheumatism. The disease can be rem
edied only by regimen-that is, by diet
and training. A simple dietary, con-
sisting of fruits, grains and nuts and
particularly the free use of fruits,
must be placed in the first rank among
the radical curative measures. Water,
If taken in abundance, is also means
of washing out the accumulated pois-
ons. An individual afflicted with rheu-
matism in any form should live, so far
as possible, an out-of-door life, TAX
ing daily a sufficient amount of exer-
else to induce vigorous perspiration.
A cool morning sponge, followed by
vigorous rubbing, and moist pack to
the Joints most seriously affected, at
night are measures which are worthy
of a faithful trial. Every person who
is suffering from this disease should
give the matter immediate attention, as
n is a malady which is progressive and
,s one of the most potent causes of
premature old age and general physical
deterioration. American nervousness
Is probably more often due to uric acid
or the poisons which 1t represents than
70 any other one cause.

EPILOGUE.

1t may be stated here that the incl
dents in this story are. chiefly founded
upon facts. The following are the
facts:
In the year 49, large sheep-owner
in the colony of Victoria engaged a
married couple for his station, which
was situated some hundreds of miles
from-the COAST, far UP in the interior.
The man, who gave his name as Ed
ward Dent, proved sober and indus
trious fellow, and a smart man at his
work. He was a capital plough-man
amongst other qualifications, and took
several prizes for ploughlng at neigh
boring contests. He was a most agree
able @mste," and was universally liked
by all the other men on the place, be-
ing of lively disposition and a first
rate concertina-player. The latter &C
compllshment is much priced up in the
bush. where there is such a scarcity of
amusement.
His extraordinary affection for his
wife was particularly noticeable. He
would not allow her to do anything in
the way of manual labor, and after his
days work was done he was always to
be seen chopping up the wood-for the
house and carrying up the next days
supply of water from the creek-in
fact doing all those little things which
most men out there generally leave
their wives to do.
Edward Dent and his wife remained
upon this station for nearly eight
wears, but one day, much to his mas
ter's annoyance, he gave notice to
leave. He wanted to better himself,
he said, and had an idea of trying the
gold mines for change.
For about eighteen months the gem
tleman in whose employment he had
been heard nothing of him. One day,
however, as he was strolling down Col
Inns street in Melbourne, he met Ed
ward Dent, and accosted him.
He noticed that he was dressed in the
deepest mourning.
II am sorry" he remarked, ito see

Poor fellow" said his late master,
who knew how great his affection had
been for her. And what have you

wife's sister is legal.

Edward to come and see him. He had

TRIUMPH OF THE LADY BUG.

One of the most serious criticisms
made of the department Of agriculture
several years ago by eastern newspa-
pers concerned the money 1t had spent
in bringing "lady bugs" from Austral-
la to "infest" California and Florida or
chards. But the lady bug (Novius car
dinalis) turned out to be one Of the
most satisfactory importations ever
made from the Antipodes, its habit Of
preying on the scale that was blight
ing fruit trees being the means of saw
ing to this state and Florida their
principal landed industries.
Now 1t appears that the little insect
has performed like Office for the cit
rus groves of Portugal. Specimens
sent to Lisbon from this state in 1896
have taken hold of the scale and are
discriminating it. Though but few of
the parasites survived the long jour-
ney by rail and sea, their immense
fecundity enabled them in the course

suit Portugal will be able soon to again
compete with Spain and Sicily for the
orange and lemon trade of Europe.
The success of the effort to eradicate
the scale pest ought to be the means
of keeping the department of agricul-
ture flush in funds for parasitical re-
search. 1t would be worth millions of
dollars every year to this country to
find a natural foe Of the potato bug,
of the curious pests that afflict grow
ing hops and of insects that make O
pasture of the bodies of domestic ami
mails and poultry. If every bane has
it's antidote and every flea "has small
er fleas to bite en-" the bringing of
the two together is proper function
of government. The way 1t has work
ed in the matter of scale pests, and the
distance to which the search for the
means of discriminating them has gone,
certainly tends to encourage efforts,
however costly along related lines,
But it is a quest in which all govern
ments may properly bear part, with
special reference to their own ento-
biological resources.

BURIED CITIES.

Many of us, no doubt, often wonder
how it is possible for the sites OF great
cities to be covered many feet deep
with heaps of debris and earth, so that
after two or three thousand years The
levels of the original streets can be
reached only by excavation.
The explanations vary with the To-
calities. The lower portions of Rome
have been filled up by the foundations
of the Tiber; the higher by the decay.
destruction or burning of large build
inEa. The ancient builders rarely took
pains to excavate deeply, even for
large structure. When Nero rebuilt
Ror,e he simply leveled the debris and
erected new houses on the ruins of the
old.
Earthquakes are responsible for
much of the destruction wrought
round the shores Of the Mediterranean.
for there was current superstition
that an earthquake came as a special
curse on a place, and after one OF
these visitations the locality was often
totally deserted. In places OF rich
soils earthworms bring to the surface
an inch or two Of ground every year.
while the winds, bearing clouds OF
dust, contribute their share to the
work Of burying the ruins OF de-
serted cities.
