The Missing Commandments.

The brilliant young preacher, when
he makes his parochial calls, endeav-
ors to cultivate an acquaintance with
the development of young minds, thus
after fashion keeping tab upon his
Sunday school teachers.
The other afternoon while he was
waiting in the drawing room Of a
beautiful Cass avenue residence for
the delayedappearance Of Blsie's NAM
ma he was entertained by the little
daughter herself. Taking her upon
his lap, he began review of the
church lessons that had been given to
a little maid of FIVE.
"Can you tell me, Elsie, how many
commandments there are p
"Yes, sir; seven or eight"
"Oh, no, dear; there are ten"
"Yes, know, there used to be, but
I heard papa tell mamma yesterday
that you had broken two or three Of
them, at least, and that would leave
only seven or eight, you know"

a farmer, says an exchange, has
made discovery that will be Of vast
importance to the farmers during
dry season. He has found that by
plating onions and potatoes in the
same field in alternate rows the onions
become so strong that they bring tears
to the eyes Of the potatoes in such
vast volumes that the roots Of the
vines are kept moist and big crop
is raised in spite Of the drOuth. The
same farmer has a scheme for raising
custard pies by crossing the egg plant
with the milk weed.

NEW VOL. 35.---NO. ~.
An Island Of Widows.

OFF the coast OF Norway is a small
island called Aarlud, which boasts
the unique distinction of being peo-
pied exclusively by widows. The
circumstances under which this state
Of affairs was brought about are no
less curious than distressing.
\ short time since a man arrived
on the island from Haugesund, on the
mainland, with his wife and family,
to participate in the spring egg gath
ering. While testing his ropes on
cliff, preparatory to commencing his
search, he happened to make false
step forward over the cliff. He was
instantly killed. AZ there had not
been a death on the island since elev-
en- years before, when boy was killed
by boulder from the same cliff fall
ing on him, the occurrence naturally
cast a gloom over the small commu-
nifty established there. This consisted
of some thirty fishermen with their
families As a mark of sympathy and
respec; all the men determined to at
tend the funeral Of the unfortunate,
which was to take place at the ceme-
terry at Haugesund on the mainland,
But during the proceeding at the bur-
ial ground a tremendous gale arose.
When the men returned to their
smack the storm was at its height
After carefully considering the Sit
uation the thirty fishermen deter
mined to sail for Aarlud, and having
taken advantage Of the opportunity
to replenish their household supplies
the boat was rather heavily laden
Their progress through the angry sea
was most anxiously watched by the
people on the mainland, who, when
the boat had gone the distance Of
about a mile and ahalf from the coast,
saw that the vessel was in great dis
tress. Efforts We're at once made 10
90 to its assistance, but the heavy sea
beat back everyboat that was launched.
A few moments afterward the unfor-
tunate smack plunged forward into
the trough Of the foaming waves and
forever disappeared from mortal view.
Every one Of it, thirty occupants WAS
drowned, and on the following morn.
ing their bodies were found along the
beach.
News Of the disaster was as speedily
as possible conveyed to the island.
Every wife in the place had, 10y the
dreadful event, been made widow,
and ont Of thirty as many as twenty
eight were left without any means Of
support. These women are now re-
ceiying assistance from the Norwegian
Government, which is credited with
the intention Of setting a number Of
single men on the island as soon as
arrangements can be made Until
that is done, however, all its women
must OF necessity remain widows.

men, came pouring into the field. Ma
poleons troops, exhausted by eight
hours of continued fighting and con-
gisting of less than $4,000 men, were
now to oppose more than 100000.
Nevertheless Napoleon determined TO
make a desperate charge with the In
perial Guard before the Prussians
could unite with the battalions Of
Wellington.
Marshal Ney, "the bravest Of the
brave" was placed at their head.
These renowned battalions had never
yet moved but in the path of victory,
and as they descended one emiuence
aud ascended another, opposing their
bare bosoms to the point-blank dis
charges from the opposing batteries,
there was a moments lull in the storm
of battle, and both armies gazed with
awe upon the scene. Not drum
beat the charge, not a bugle sounded
its inspiring note, not a cheer escaped
the lips of those proud, indomitable
veterans. Silentlyunfinchingly they
strode on. until within a few wards of
the batteries. Wellington shouted
up guards, and at them T. and the
Life Guards, who were lying flat on
the ground, sprang up.
There was a flash as of lightning
a peal as of crashing thunder, and a
very tempest of bullets and all the
missiles of war fell like hail-stones
upon a living mass. Whole battaliOus
were cut down and trampled under
foot by the advancing host. The
Guards closed up their deeimated
ranks, and pressed on. Ney had five
horses shot under hin, but with drawn
sabre and on foot he marched at the
head of his men.
But the charge was in vain the
Prussians came pouring into the
field. and they were cut down and
driven back. Napoleon threw him
self into a small square Of the Old
Guard, determined to perish on the
field, but his generals besought him
to flee, and this one square acting as
a rear guard protected his retreat.
English and Prussians poured a
destructive fire into the organization
from three sides, but it remained un-
broken. Struck with admiration at
such heroism, the allied forces sus-
pended for time their butchery and
sent flag of truce demanding a cap
ifulation. General Cambourne re-
turned the immortal reply: "The
Old Guard dies, but never surrenders.
A few more volleys from the infantry,
a few more discharges from the artll-
lery, moved them all down. Thus
perished on the fatal field of Waterloo
the celebrated "Old Guard" of Ma
poIeon. The Allied Armies pressed
on to Paris, Napoleon a second time
abdicated the throne. The star Of
his destiny had set forever.
AS to why Napoleon was defeated
at Waterloo, you see such reasons as
signed as these: "An unexpected
shower Of rain at nine in the morning
caused the defeat of the worlds great
est general" and Napoleon died a
prisoner at st. Helena because one Of
his marsLals was behind time. But
according to Victor Hugo, it was not
out of the clouds the destiny thun-
dered, but it came as a meteor. The
God of battles came down on the field.
The Power above man presided that
day and quenched that great fire.

new ace.

The Rectum, Its importance,

The Rectum IS one of the most important
organs of the body.
Through IT large portion of the waste,
etiete, and poisonous matter generated in
the system is expelled.
When the functions of this organ are inter-
lered with, these poisonous elements are re-
tanned in the system, poisoning the blood,
clogging the-glands, impairing nutrition and
assimilation and engendering diseases that
not only cause great suffering but destroy
life
Disturbed digestion, arrangement OF the
nervous system, rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Catarrh, diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys,
bladders, uterus, all these arise from retained
fecal matter in the rectum, caused by inter-
nal piles, ulcers. structures and other causes

IF LOVE BE ONE.

The skies are black. the winds are bold.
The road is rough and long:
But what are clouds and stormy ways
When hearts are full Of song:
And two there be who walk liie's path
Unheeding Of wind or weather.
And mindiug but yon merry sprite
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth, al! days are bright;
With him for guide and sun
And three are always company
II Love be one.
The road is smooth, the wind is soft.
The sky IS clear o'erhead
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts arc dead
And what is song tha, fills the ears
But can no further 90:
And what is light that eyes can see
But souls can never know:
All. two there be that walk life's path
As though they walked alone
For two are never company
II Love be gone

ITO A GOOD
The Remarkable Tribute Of Richard

That Mr.. Richard Harding Davis
knows how to gain the good will of
soldiers Is shown by an accident that
occurred while he was correspondent
with the army TO sail for Cuba.
Massachusetts troop had had their
first death-that of a young man nam
ed Weslie A. Brass.
Mr.. Davis was anxious to pay some
mark of respect to the memory Of this
young soldier.
He wanted flowers and out into the
sun he tramped. From place to place
ne went. but not a flower was to be
had. For two hours he kept up his
search. but no money could buy a bios.
som. He was told, however. that eight
miles away, at a lake side. he might
get some.
Along the single main street of Lake.

back for a siXteen-mile trip. He found
the flowers. brought them back, pro
tecting them as carefully as possible
from the heat of the sun. and then,
with his own hands. he made a sim,
pie cross of laths and tied them on.
