Massage for Dyspepsia.

A French medical journal cities a number of cases where great and last ing benefits were derived by people suffering from dyspepsia and abdomi- nal diseases from a gentle massage treatment of the abdomen, says Leslie's Weekly. One case mentioned is that of a young man aged 20 years, who for six months had been suffering with his stomach. In spite of varied treatment he was gradually growing worse and looked like one in the last stages of phthisis. He suffered from constipa- tion and insomnia; he was very nervous and was convinced that he was about to die After instituting the abdominal massage his condition rapidly improv- ed; his abdomen, which had resembled that of child with meningitis, be- came supple and daily enlarged. The treatment was not severe nor very spe- cial. His pain disappeared, and he was able to digest all that was given to him. The patient gained in six months about sixty-five pounds, which he has not lost since that time, now five years ago.

A RnxaI Peculiarity.

Like all the rest of us, King Edward has his peculiarities. One of the most marked of these Is that he Is particular to the verge of severity on the subject of decorations that should be worn. How they should be worn, when they should be worn, are matters to which he has always given the closest atten- ton. But perhaps the most severe re- proof which the king ever gave sub- feet in the matter of decorations was that administered to a very pretty young girl in ballroom. The prince had invited her to dance, and she, much gratified, had taken a turn or two, when the prince noticed upon her breast the small star of a well-known English or der.
 May I ask you where you got that from? he said, indicating the little jewel.
 The girl, blushing a great deal, an- swered that her fiance Ca young officer of great distinction) had loaned 1t to her to wear.
 "Indeedp' said H. R. H. coldly. Please unpin it and return it to Lieut. Col. Sir -, and inform him that such jewels are not intended for the adorn- ment of beauty, however great"
 And he led his partner to her chaper- one.-London Nj. A. P.

sIoNERs OF DECLARATION.
yohn Hancock Was the First-Rogea
 Sherman a Jack All Trades.

John Hancock Was the First-Roge1
 Sherman a Jack off, All Trades.
 "John Hancock was the first to sign the declaration" says a writer in New Lippincott, land his bold, heavy, inky- black signature is character study in itself. There is dash and fire, frank. ness and firmness in it, and the tre- mendous flourish at its close shows ready wit, firm nerve and sure execu- tion. Hancock was Governor of Mas sachusetts many terms. He left most of his fortune to colleges and for be- nevolent purposes.
 Roger Sherman died in 1793, the same year as Hancock. Shoemaker, surveyor, lawyer, storekeeper, mayoF congressman, judge and supreme judge. senator, member of the committee or declaration and of the boards of war and ordnance, he disproved the old pro- verb about Jack-of- l-trades by being a success at all. He was sagacious, practical and of quickest wit. Sena- tor Randolph, proud both of his ar1sto- cratic birth and of having the blood or the Indian princess, Pocohontas, in his veins, despised Sherman because of his lOwly origin. Once when the latter was speaking he interrupted him:
 "'Can the senator from Connecticut tell me- piped he in his shrill, sarcastic voice, what he did with his leather shoemaker's apron when he came to the senateP
 Quick as flash came the answer, I cut it up to make moccasins for the Indian senator from Virginiap"

The Sky Road of the Geese.

J. G. Millais, the artist, in his book "The Wildfowler in Scotland," thus de scribes the scene of the arrival of the wild geese from the Arctic regions, which he twice had the good fortune to witness:
 I heard the first "honk' of the season coming from far up in the vast ex- panse of the blue heaven. For a long time nothing could I see, until at last a tiny speck appeared in the sky as far as the eye could reach, and watch ing it intently, saw it grow into the form of a goose that was slowly de- scending in great spirals.
 This bird was followed at regular in- tervals by others, in little parties of from six to ten.
 The leader came down immediately above the Inch, and while she was pre- pairing to alight, there were still small companies evolving themselves from the blue expanse, until at last there must have been some fifteen hundred birds actually on the wing, all in pro- cess of descent, and all following one another at regular intervals.
 By and by, when the leading geese had settled, the parties at the rear seemed to struggle more, and longer in- tervals occurred between them; yet they kept coming in all day as roamed round and about the lake, till by even ing, when disturbed the company, there must have been between two and three thousand geese sitting on the island

Few of the social changes wrought by the requirements of the times are greater than is the change in the tests applied to the ministers of city churches. Not many years ago the candidate" for city pastOrate was judged, as was the country parson, chiefly by the soundness of his doctrine, by his spirituality and by his eloquence. It is hardly too much to say that all these qualifications are now more or less subordinate to new tests. Not one of them is obsolete, or can be neglected. No minister who sows the seeds of doubt instead of those of faith, no one whose soul is not in his work, no one who lacks the art of attracting men and women by the grace or the power of his oratory, can be an acceptable pastor. But the one indispensable re- duirement now is that he have large executive ability. He must know how to organize his people, and to keep their organizations well in hand, so that they shall not conflict with each other or with him. To glance at the "calendar" of a city church Is to dis cover organization on organization, wheels within wheels, societies, guilds, classes and associations for all sorts of purposes, religious and philanthropic. How to guide the choice of A as chair man of this, and B as secretary of that, and c as the head of the other, and to see to it that all the letters of the alpha bet find the place where they can do the most with the least friction-this taxes the brains and patience of the twentieth century minister. In the case of institutional churches" the problem is still more complex. Here mission leagues, employment bureaus, lecture courses, cooking schools, even ing classes in French or bookkeeping, reading rooms, loan associations, rec reation rooms and other devices for promoting the welfare of the people form a part of the church machinery; and the pastor is the chief executive, with a staff of assistants. One such church in New York requires a pam phlet of three hundred pages merely to catalogue and describe these activities. If these multiplied organizations de- tract somewhat from the tranquility of a spiritual life, at least they bring the church into contact with humanity and its needs at many points, and so en- large its possibilities of usefulness.

 To this complaint she received the following gently sarcastic rej0indsr-

RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS,

Where no dishonesty or anything of reproachful nature is imputed to a storekeeper, the Apellate Court of h. diana, in the case of Guethier vs. Alt man (60 N. E. Rep., 355), holds he has no right of action against school teacher and members of 2 school board because they maliciously dis suaded pupils, by threats or otherwise, from trading with him.
 A person using certain advertising matter and labels cannot restrain an other by injunction from using matter alleged to be similar where the only resemblance is the prominence given name which is the surname or both parties, holds the Supreme Court or Rhode Island in the case of Harson :vs. Halkyard Q6 Att, 27D.
 In prosecution in Texas for viola tion of the Sunday law against selling intoxicating liquors, the Court of Grim inal Appeals of Texas, in the case of Burnett vs. State (62 s. W. Rep, lO65), holds that where the defendant was employed to assist in cleaning out sa- loon, and moving the fixtures on Sun day. and while so engaged carried pint of whisky from the barkeeper to person who stood outside the door, who received the whisky from the defend ant, the latter was guilty of assisting in the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday and was properly convicted.
 A woman brought an action against a railroad for damages alleged to have been sustained by her in consequence of having been carried beyond her des- tination and landed by night near given town, where she, with no com panion except her child, was compelled to walk some distance in order to se- cure shelter and protection. She offer ed evidence that it was not the custom for women to walk about at that time of night without an escort in that town, and that it would be rather i'm prudent for woman to walk given distance in that place "in the dark with no companion except little child" The trial judge admitted the evidence, but on appeal the Supreme Court Dorsey vs. Central of Georgia Railway Com pany, 3S S. E. Rep, 958 held that the evidence was inadmissible and reVers- ed a judgment in favor of the woman.

When the papers are crowded with reports of accidents, the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission sup plies assurance to those who are rather dmorOus about trusting themselves to passenger trains. The report shows that for the year ending June 30, 1900,
 the railroads carried 5T6, ,S65, ,23O pas sengers, an increase over the previous year of 53,6SS, ,722; and that the pas senger mileage was 1o,039,O ,217, an Increase of 1,447, ,679,1S4, figures that are almost incomprehensible. The to- tai number of casualties on account of accidents was 5S,1S5, of which 1865 were fatalities, and of thls number 2,550 were employees and 4,346 were trespassers. But the number of pas sengers killed was only 249, or one for 2,316,643 carried, and only one pasSen- ger was injured for every 139,740 car ried, ratio that should calm the fears of any person who reads the reports of accidents in the papers. These fig ures show a substantial reduction Of casualties from the previous year, and
 this is due to improvements not alone In rolling stock, but in the trackage

Ore Consoling Thought.

Illustrating the value of caution in expression, the Hon. John NJ. Allen, of Mississippi, tells a story of a funeral oration, which he heard delivered by a negro preacher in the South.
 The habits of the deceased brother had not been irreproachable, and one of his items of waywardness was constant attendance at gay parties, where he whistled, danced, and otherwise dis ported to the great scandal of the worthy pastor of the flock So, in sum- ming up the case at the funeral, the preacher delivered himself in this wise:
 My brethren and sisters, we are here to pay our last sad respects to our de- parted brother. Some says he was a good man, and some says he was bad man. Where he has gone to we can't tell, but in our grief we has one consola- ton. and that is-he's dead"
