A Mormon Family Reunion.

A Salt Lake City correspondent
sends us clipping from a Mormon
newspaper describing the family re-
union of Grandfather Merrill. This
prolific gentleman, an apostle of the
Mormon church, is the father of forty
living children, and his living grand
children number 1876. Nearly all of
these honored the occasion with their
presence. The newspaper correspond
ent delicately suggests the harmonious
relations which subsist among the var
ious wives of the patriarch. From
the many expressions of love and es-
TEEN it was evident the kindliest and
best of feeling exist in the hearts of
all members of the family. Many tears
of joy were shed when the different
mothers narrated the experiences of
the early days" Incidentally one is
reminded by this story of the strange
fact, substantiated by all observers,
that the Mormon women, who have
suffered the most from polygamy, and
gained the least advantage, are the
most fanaticcl and incurable adher-
ents of this abominable doctrine

Light as a Healing Agent.

In view of the growing importance
of the application of light as heal
ing principle in medical science the
medical congress which recently con
vened at Wiesbaden invited Prof. Bic
of Copenhagen to read paper on the
subject. The lecturer explained the
principle of employing light for heal
ing purposes after excluding it's chem
ical effects. The results obtained by
this method in cases of smallpox, ac.
cording to the lecturer, are such that
the question is raised whether the
light treatment shall not be made
compulsory. Prof. Bic approves the
apparatus invented by DR.. Finsen of
Copenhagen, with which the latter has
achieved such remarkable success in
cases of lupus, but urges that no one
but qualified doctors should be allowed
to apply the light treatment, as dis
turbances are apt to occur which ren.
der it necessary to break it off sud
denly.

Iife's Scars,


They say the world is round, and yet
L often think it square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one great truth in life I've found,
While journeying to the west
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath, tits true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing ills;
This rule all lives will prove.
The ranking wound which aches and
thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning eice
Are given to our own.
We fatter those we scarcely know,
We please the feeting guest
And deal full many thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree.
Nor true hearts yearly bloom;
Alas for those who only see
This cut across a tomb!
But, soon or late, the fact grows plain
To all through sorrows test.
The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best

Some Of the Popular
Cures for Rheumatism.

American men of science have re-
turned to an old cure for rheumatism,
in the shape of bee stings. The scien-
tific explanation is that a bee when
stinging injects formic acid which is a
cure for rheumatism. What probably
happens is that the patient, after hav-
ing sat for some time on the beehive,
forgets all about the rheumatism.
1t is. probably the long continuance
of damp weather which has inspired
so many newspaper correspondents to
give the world just now their notions
on cures for rheumatism. We referred
briefly the other day to the American
revival of cure by bee stings-a meas
ure heroic enough to please every ST.
mon Stylites in the world; and now
we are told in the press of cure by

Life'S Plans Seem
Sadly Out Of Joint.

If, indeed, the intention was that
life should mean happiness, how sad
has been the laundering! For consid-
er, for one thing, the pitiful ignorance
which has resulted in such tragic suf-
fering to humanity. AS matter of
fact, man has been cheated of his
birthright, supposing him entitled to
happiness, for has he not been COM
PEELED, unaided, to wrestle with the
problem of fitting himself to his en-
vironment? Through long ages, by
sweat of brow, travail of spirit and
onerous physical toll, he has struggled
to adjust himself to conditions into
which he was thrust. He found no
paradise Of happiness free to all. Life
is perpetual struggle, not elysium,
says Vogue. Not only have millions
been the victims of hideous slavery,
but the whole race, from all time, has
suffered cruelty because of ignorance,
the most pathetic phase of this suffer
ing being the unprecedented cruelty
and injustice which results from ig-
norant parentage. Can those who
claim happiness as birthright explain
why sentient beings predestined for

happiness are not put in the way of
achieving it? For instance is the fate
which is supposed to dispense happi-
ness asleep, or gone on a journey,
that it permits northern capitalistic
unholy love of money to combine with
southern parental greed for the tor
ture of children in the process of mill
money getting? If happiness be the de-
signed portion for humanity, then are
lifes plans sadly out of joint, for the
most cunning of malevolent spirits
could not possibly devise greater vari-
ETY. or more lacerating kinds of misery
than those which human beings in all
grades Of society are made to expert
ence. Apart from the inevitable per-
sonal sorrows which affect all, how is
it possible for any but the very young
or the very selfish to be happy in
world where the majority are miser-
able because of disease, little health,
dire poverty, incapacity, onerous la
Dor or cruel anxiety? Life as disci-
pline for character-building is an in
spring conception. Life as an abor-
tive happy hunting ground is an appal-
ling theory.

THE SPOlLS OF BABYLON.
Antiquarians Revel in Finds from An.
cient Civ

Cient City.
The ruins of Babylon continue to
yield antiquities of the very highest
interest to the excavators who repre-
sent the German Oriental society.
From the center of the square site
which extends for miles on both sides
of the Euphrates, at a place now
called Nischan-elAswad, the Germans
have taken 400 tablets, one being a
syllabary in two languages which may
add a good deal to our knowledge of
the languages written in cuneiform
signs, and another, a litany, which was
chanted by the priests of Marduk or
Merodach at the temple of Esagila.
Marduk was one Of the twelve great
gods and was represented in heaven
by a constellation. In some of his
traits he was like Hercules, in others
like Zeus. A striking discovery was
the site of a temple of the god who
was the Babylonian forerunner of Pal
con, the physician of the gods in
Homer, and of Aesculapius in later
centuries. This god of physicians was
worshipped as Ador or Nineb. ANU
lets, cylinder seals, reliefs showing
hunting scenes and colored tile work
of very high artistic value are among
the German spoils at Babylon during
the past season.

NEW IDEA FOR EXPRESS TRAINS.
Makes No Stops, But Drops Passen-
gers Off at Stations.

gers vi at StdtiOnS.
A model of new device was re-
Gently shown before the members Of
the British Association, by means Of
which it is possible to put passengers
off at any station along railroad
without stopping the train.
The model showed a circular track
The last carriage on the train was
slipped as each station was passed,
and passengers wishing to alight at
the next station would proceed to the
last carriage, the train being of course
continuous on the American plan, SO
that access could be had right
through. Then the slipped carriage
had deposited its passengers and TAX
en- up fresh load, it would be started
and the next train would be allowed
gradually to catch it up. 1t would
then form part of the new train until
having passed sufficient number Of
stations, it came to be the last car
riage again, when it would be once
more slipped. OF course the cars
would be electrically driven, and the
author exhibited a model showing
how by an electrical device it could
be shown in the separate car and in
the overtaking train how far the two
were apart.

A Three Days Jag
On SuIphuriC Acid.

Ex-Representative Morgan of Mis-
souri, tells good story about an old
topper in the state of the muddy water.
When he first settled down to practice
the town boasted of a drug store run
by one of his friends. The store had
soda fountain and back of this, with
the bottles of liquids otherwise medi-
cinal, was placed a bottle of whisky.
In the town was an octogenarian,
known as Uncle Billy. 1t was Uncle
Billy's habit to step into the drug
store every morning pass behind the
counter, and help himself to a tum-
bier of whisky.
Good mornin'," he always said, and
Good mornin', Uncle Billy" every
body said to him. That was about all
that passed in a conversational way as
he made his regular morning call.
One morning Uncle Billy had made
his regular visit to the habitat Of the
whisky bottle, and was just disappear
ing through the door when the drug
gist discovered that Uncle Billy had
drunk out of the wrong bottle. He
had taken his potion from bottle of
sulphuric acid. Well, the druggist was
almost panic-stricken. Uncle Billy
had gotten out of sight, meantime,
and the druggist closed the door of his
shop, and in fear and trembling sent
for his friend, the struggling young
lawyer who later represented the state
in congress. When told the situation

ing and did lend helping hand. The
boarders could hardly await the COM
ing event. The wedding supper was
to be most sumptuous elimination.
By noon the house began to take on
its decorations. The boarders who
came for their midday meal were loud
in their praises Of the excellent taste
manifested. And when evening at
last came and they began to assemble
in the parlor, there was a veritable
buzz of talk about things in general.
Finally the guests had been ushered
in. all but one and that one would not
witness the ceremoney. In an upper
room she sat alone at an open win
dow, with handkerchief to her eyes,
weeping. She could hear the minis
ter's voice as he made them man and
wife. Later, when she heard the hi
larity below, she knew that it was
all over. But she still sat at the win
dow. She saw the carriage drive up
and halt at the stepping-stone. She
heard loud talking out on the side
walk. She saw figures scurrying back

of shouts. A moment later the sound
of rice thrown against the carriage,
more shouting, and then the sharp
bang to of the carriage door. After.
ward the patter of horses feet, and
the sound o. wheels on the cobble-
stones. Then more shouting.
Within the vehicle sat two very hap
py beings. The ride to the station
was short, and when they entered
their train Mr. Barnston was surprised
to see, seated at the other end Of the
car, a former chum Of his.
Barnston and his bride had hardly
got comfortably seated when his
friend left his seat to go to the smok-
er. AS he came abreast of the newly
welded couple he recognized Barnston
and halted:
"Jove, but l am glad to see you"
Barnston laid, raising and taking his
friend by the hand, "Mr. Horton, allow
me to introduce you to my wife, for
merly Mrs. Winifred Hyssop, of the AL
gonquin."

Reason for ChiId's Answer.

Bishop Brewster of Connecticut
tells this story illustrative of his
wife's cleverness. One day they Wis.
tied a mission school, and in kindly
catechising the children he asked:
"Who is your neighbour"
A dead silence followed the ques-
ton. Finally one little girl raised her
hand and made the most unexpected
and amazing reply, God"
On the way home the Bishop said
to his wife:
Now, what do you suppose that
child had in mind to give such an
answer"

that she was following that rule Of
a great many older people, when in
doubt play trumps.'
