the famous evangelist, vividly describes
his journey through Egypt and PaIes.I

gives to these papers an interest that is
trnly remarkable. They are iIlustrat-
ed by photographs by LsAllen Sankey,
who accompanied his father. Recent
mournful events and the intense public
sympathy with Mrs. Mckinley. make
very timely an article on notable pen

are made public for perhaps the first
time. DIR. s. R. Elliott begins hiss

DEATH AND THE EBB TIDE.

Belief in Some Quarters that Disso1u-
ton Comes When the Seas Go Ont.
Is there any necessary connection be-
tween death and the ebb tide? DO the
souls OF men more generally pass away
with the outgoing waters? The idea
extensively prevails along the coast in
england and America, and amounts to
positive conviction among sea-farlng
people. Death and the ebb tide are
expected to go hand in hand. If man
Is lingering in a sickness unto death
the almanac is consulted and the opin-
ION is expressed that he will ''go out
win the tide" This belief is so char
acteristic Of seacoast communities that
'he novelists have used 1t with good
enect IN some Of their most dramatic
SITUATIONS. How far from the common
pace Dickens removed the death Of
narKls by the employment of this pop

DO Ants Have Horses, Too?

Not long ago French explorer, 81.
Charles Nielsen, in travelling through
Siam observed species Of small gray
ants which were new to him. TO his
surprise he noticed among them from
time to time an occasional ant which
was much larger than the others and
moved at a much swifter pace, and
each of these larger ants. NJ. Nielsen
saw, always carried one of the gray
ants on it's back. This discovery LED
him TO watch their movements closely.
He soon saw that while the main body
of gray ants was always on foot. they
were accompanied by at least one OF
their own sort mounted on one Of these
larger ants. He mounted and detached
himself now and then from the line
rode rapidly to the head. came swiftly
hack TO the rear, and seemed to be In
command of the expedition.

the popular idea by the deaths of orr
martyred Presidents. The belief new
er went so far as to include death by
accident or violence, and never claimed
universally in all cases of natural dis
solution. 1t was only that men in
general, IN sickness and old age, 60 In
that manner. For it would be evil
dent to the dullest comprehension that
In the course of nature even there are
many exceptions to the rule; and that
accident and murder no more wait for
the tide than the tide waits for man.
The death of Lincoln. for instance, was
separated only few hours from the
discharge Of Booths murderous pistol.
Ihere was no gradual wasting away
or strength. no prolonged interval of
receding vitality. Hence little influ-
ence could be expected from the tide,
and yet 1t was nearly low tide in the
latitude Of Washington when he died.
In the case Of President Mckinley the
circumstances were little more favor
able for tidal interference. A week in
terposed between the shooting and the
elimination in death. And he went out
with the tide. At the time of death,
2:15 a. m, the tide was about half ebb
on the Atlantic coast in the latitude of
Buffalo. He became unconscious just
before the turn of the tide and three
and half hours afterward expired ON
the strength of the ebb. The case of
Garfield approaches more nearly to
that Of a natural event. He lin
gered on for months after the fatal
shot. Hope and despair rose and fell.
The spark Of life frightened and dim
med again and again. But at last he
also went out with the tide. When he
died at Long Branch at 1875 p. m. 1t
was dead low water along the Jersey
shore. So two at least Of the three
Presidents who have fallen by the
hand Of violence have in conformity
with the old belief gone out with the
tide. Is there any significance to these
facts? Or are they only condolences

WOMAN AND THE BACHELOR.
Fault of the Former that Many of the
Latter Are Not Married.

At last there are more bachelors than
spinsters in this country. The femi-
nine portion Of our communities will
be much interested in this fact, which
has resulted from the census of 1900.
Now, 1t has always been popularity sup
posed that the spinsters predominant
ed, and this current belief has been as
thorn in the side of woman, for the
mere existence Of a bachelor requires,
for the intelligent curiosity of the gent
Ter sex, an explanation. Without the
explanation, he Is In himself, as 1t
were, an eloquent reflection upon the
charms of womankind, and every wom-
an in her own person resents slight
to the sist@hood.
Now that the census has cleared the
question Of false statistics. and the
residual fact remains that the bachel-
ors predominant, 1t becomes incumbent
upon us to inquire why this is so. And,
the inquiry having scarcely proceeded
beyond the first statement of the case.
we find, as ever, that woman Is the
guilty party! For. with the known In
consequence of the sex. 1t Is she who
is consciously and voluntarily respon-
sible for the predominance Of the I'M
married man. We learn that the fash
ionable matron deliberately makes him
her pet-that she has so Systematically
performed the rite over him that his
species has been separated into kinds,
of which "the corner man." "the dane
ing man." "the dinner man." etc., ETC..
are the best known and most carefully
cultivated varieties. So highly con-
sidered and so actively in demand, so
wined and dined, are these popular I'M
married men, that their personal ex-
penses are reduced to a minimum, and
they become among men even as the
lilies Of the field. They are, SO to
speak, the supernumeraries in the dra-
ma Of life, to be engaged as occasion
requires. And woman. dear. delight
full, impetuous, generous, but unrefect-
ing woman-is the stage manager who
is hoist by her own petard.
While, therefore, the census OF 19OO
possesses for women, as we have intf
mated, unusual interest, 1t is also re-
plete with threatening possibilities
which must give her pause.-Harper's

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT FROM
HIS MAJESTY'S DOCkYARD,
AT PORTSMOUTH.
ENGLAND

Where Upwards of 10, 900 Men Are Con.
stantly Employed.
Some time ago the Portsmouth Times
and Naval Gazette published a most
thrilling and remarkable experience of
he wife of Mr.. Frederick Payne, him
elf connected with the Portsmouth
'ockyard for many years. The report
'"duced great sensation, not only in
Portsmouth, but throughout the coun-
try, being considered of sufficient inn
portance for reproduction and editorial
comment by the leading metropolitan
and Provincial Press of England, as
showing the marvellous powers which
st. Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for
Rheumatism, its application having
effected perfect cure in the case Of
Mrs. Payne, after having been a help
less cripple and given up by several
physicians.
We have now further evidence of its
intrinsic value as Pain Conqueror.
Our readers will do we'll to follow the
intelligent and highly interesting de-
tails as given in Mrs. Rabbits own
words:
To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil:
Gentlemen-My husband, who is
shipwright in His Majesty's Dockyard,
met with an accident to his ankle and
leg, spraining both so badly that his
| leg turned black from his knee to his
toes. The DR.. said it would be months
before he could put his foot to the
ground, and it was doubtful whether he
would ever get proper use of his leg
again.
A few days after the accident had
book left at the door telling about St.
Jacobs Oil, procured bottle from our
chemist, Mr.. Arthur Creswell, 379
Commercial Road. began to use st.
Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my sur
prise, when in about another week from
that date. my husband could not only
stand, but could even walk about, and
in three weeks from the time l first
used the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wonderful recovery. This is not all.
Seeing what st. Jacobs Oil could do

alive Compound, also favorably men,

determined to try the compound on my
little girl, who was suffering from a
dreadful skin disease, the treatment of
which has cost me large sums of money
in going from one doctor to another
with her, all to no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Vogeler's
Curative Compound, and one would
now hardly take her for the same child,
her skin has got such nice, healthy
color after the sallow look she has
always had.
I shall never cease to be thankful for
the immense benefit we have derived
from these two great remdies of yours.
