Landslide at Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 26.-The heavy
rains of the past twenty -four hours caused
a landslide which will delay the Panhandle
trains for about thirty-six hours. About
six hundred tons of earth and stone came
down from Mount Washington behind the
McClintock mills, completely covering the
Panhandle tracks and carrying away the
20-foot retaining wall which had lately
been built. Trains will use the Ohio con-
Meeting bridge until the damaged is re-
paired.

ELLIcoTT Cry, Nd, May 24.-What
came near being serious accident hap
pened to Mr.. Nicholas Fl. Warfeld, a
Howard county farmer, the other day.
Being told that powdered sulphur blown
from tube into cows windpipe would
cure bad cough the animal had, Mr..
Warfeld proceeded to apply the remedy
in the way described. But it happened
that as he drew long breath himself,
preparing to blow his hardest, the COW
coughed and blew first, with the result
that the farmer was nearly strangled to
death by the sulphur.

ONE OF US TWAIN.

A MIDNIGHT REVERE.
One of us, dear. must say good-by--
Which one?
Must watch the slowly glazing eye,
Must see the other shrouded lie,
Then live our life alone.
1t may be you it may be |,
Who knows?
And as the lonely hours drift by
o, leavy win the shadows lie
When dark msfortune's chill wind blows.
'Tis best, beloved, we can not know
The day,
The time, when we'll be calfd to go;
But God His mercy will bestow,
And wipe all tears away
One of us it must surely be-
Which one
Must breast alone the unknown sea
Whose billows surge all ruthlessly-
The voyage none may shun.
Which of US, darling it may be
/ would
Not know-the future is a sea
Unknown, untried and dim, and we
Must trust in One All-wise and good

SOUL WARNINGS.

o for faith that looks beyond
This gloomy vale of tears"
That feels, and owns, with Christ bond
And all doubt disappears
A living faith that ne'er grows cold,
Amid earth's cares and strife;
That wayers not, that will lay hold
Upon eternal life.
That clearer shines amid the storms
That break around our way;
Whose inward peace the spirit warns,
Unto the perfect day.
A faith that triumphs over death.
And sets at nought its sting;
That bids us with our dying breath
Lisp praises to our King.

The Curfew in Waterville.

Without apparently having made any
inquiry as to how it works in the other
cities of Maine, Portland has recently
adopted curfew law and will now
doubtless put it's trust in the law to send
boys and girls home from the streets at
a suitable evening hour. The expert
ence of Waterville and, so far as we
know, of every other Maine city that
has tried the law, leads to the belief
that it is useless to hope for any good
from a curfew law after its newness
has worn away. For a few months, or
until the children who frequent the
streets at night have learned that some
laws need not be obeyed, the curfew Or
dinance has some effect, but after that
it is simply ignored both by those charg-
ed with its enforcement, and by those
who would be affected by it if it were
enforced. The excuse for its non-en-
forcement can not be that it is not
needed, for the need of some influence
to keep boys and girls off the streets at
night is apparent to all observers. The
excuse, if any there be, lies in the con-
viction generally felt that the control of
children, day or night, should be entrust-
ed to their natural guardians, and should
not be turned over to the uncertain care
of municipal ordinances. However,
Portland may prove different from the
rest of the Maine cities, and may enforce
the law with happy results.

Portland's Curfew Law.

The curfew law has yet to be passed
to be ordained before it will be a full
tiedged ordinance. That will probably
be done at the regular monthly meeting
the first of June. When the act is duly
installed we may expect rapid improve
ment in the manners of the boys and
girls. They will no longer talk bad
grammar an the streets nor be sassy
to their eldeqs. 1t was mistake, how
ever. not to make the law more sweep
ing Small children do comparatively
little of the mischief done on the street.
Grown up people do vastly more. Why
not make a law compelling everybody
to be in the house by nine O'Clock, unless
he has a certificate from the chief of
police that it is ne cessary for him to be
out? What objection can there be to
such a law? To pe sure it interferes
somewhat with personal liberty, but for
the general good it is perfectly proper
to abridge individual freedom.

Unique Plan of Tax Collecting.

The town of Bridgewater has unique
plan of collecting taxes and one that
seems to be working like charm.
They employ no taxacollector and give
a liberal discount to all taxpayers
who settle before a certain date, pay
ment being made directly to the town
treasurer. All arrearages of taxes
which remain unpaid at the end of the
year in which they were assessed are
turned over to an attorney for collection,
who is instructed to proceed impartially
with the enforcement of the demands.
The result of this course is that it has
cost the town but nintey dollars to col
lect the 1900 assessment, amounting TO
between seven and eight Thousand dol
lars, and the best part of it is that the tax
is completely cleaned up. = Portland
