CARDINAL WOULD NOT
DISPUTE.

Eft
The Washington correspondent of
the New York "W orld" tells this good
one about Cardinal Gibbons:
"Cardiaal Gibbons was recently ex-
amining class of postulants for con-
frmation. The parish priest was proud
of the proficiency Of. his pupils and
was showing them off. He had asked
various questions and finally sxsked
one little girl, What is matrimo1y?
"She promptly answered: sMatri-
mony is condition in which those
who are in state Of grace undergo
grievous torment in order that they
may afterward enjoy eternal happi-
ness s:r
ooh, no, my dear child, you are
mixing up matrimony, with purgato-
ry,' said the priest.
"'Let her alone interposed the Car
dinal. what do you and | know
about it, anyway. Perhaps she is

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and woven alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants Of
the family, the requirements OF society,
more numerous. The. first effect of
the praiseworthy ef)rt to- keep up
with all these things is commonly
seen in weakened or debilitated con-
dition Of the nervous system, which re-
suits in dyspepsia, defective nutrition
of both body and brain, and in extreme
cases in complete nervous prostitution.
1t is clearly seen that what is needed
is phat will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and
keep the digestive and assimilative
funtions healthy and active, From
personal knowledge, we can recon-
mend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this pur-
pose. It acts on all the vital organs,
builds up the whole system, and fits
men and women for these high pres
sure days.

LAUGH.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as sunbeam in a sick room
Learn to keep your own trouble to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares to hear whether you have
the earache, heartache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do we'll enough in
novels, but they are out Of place in
real life. Learn to meet your friends
with smile. A good-humored man
or woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochrondriac is not
wanted anywhere, and is nuisance as
we'll.

There is no doubt at all, that. the
founder of the greatest world-power-
"home' is woman. But few women
go forth into married life equipped for
battling with its many problems. How
many brides elect realize the fearful
responsibilities resting on the mar
riage vows 80 soon to bc taken? Not
one in one thousand? Much of the
tragedy and sin Of the world and near
ly all Of the daily divorces can be
traced to the false ideas Of life daily
preached before youngf girls. They
are told that there isa "higher sphere
than that of wife and mother. That
marriage is lottery and that tie
divorce court is loophole for escape
from lives of duty to husband and
children. Such thoughts are utterly
false and cruel. There is no higher
spere, than that of training e human
soul. Could angels be more honored? ?
Marriage is Gods institutionIahd God
does not deal in lottery tickets. In a
few cases the divorce court is neces-
sany evil, but even its power which is
Of earth cannot break the ties of lHeav-
en-, it can only separate the individ-
uals aa} s..sst!.s:ifeare
Women refermers cry out for the
ballot as the sure cure for the hard
ships endured by their sex. The bal
bot will come to women in the course
of time as the production Of higher
civilization which will demand equali-
ty of the sexes in all things. Custom
alone, has placed women outside the
political field. But the emancipation
of the women will not solve the mar
riage problem, There is only one So
lution-young women must be 'atted
more thoroughly to take the yoke Of
life upon them for while God reigns
there will be marriage, and giving in
marriage, and for thiss reason alone
girls should be taught the truth, re-
garding themselves mentally, morally
and physically. s fsf5 s.ll
No person, man or woman, should
enter the loliest of relations simply to
be taken care OF. Such an idea issfalse
to state, church and humanity.i The
intention of the matrimonial relation
is the founding of home and the
rearing OF children, and untilt this idea,
this great truth is instilled into the
minds of the rising generation of young
men and womed there can be no hope
for the highest results OF life. rs

FATE OF THE FLIES.

An exchange quotes distinguish
ell entomologist as saying that a single
female fly will lay l20 eggs during her
life of from ten to fifteen days and that
to these ninety or hundred will pro-
duce other flies. During summer
twelve or thirteen generations of these
flies will be produced, so that millions
in one season may be the descendants
of single fly.
millions" is feeble word to ex-
press the number that would be pro-
duced under this estimate. Putting
the first generation at 100 and allow
ing that half of them are females, the
second generation would number 5000,
with $500 females. The third genera
tion would number $4,000, the fourth
,250,000 and the fifth 62,500,O00.
Continuing the calculation on the
same system to the twelfth generation,
We should get grand total of 1882
100000, 100000, or expressed in
words, four quintillions, eight hundred
and eighty-two quadrillions, eight
hundred and twelve trillions, five
hundred billions, number quite in
conceivable. Estimating the popula-
tion of the earth at billion and a
half, this would give 1926, ,208, 1888
flies to every man, woman and child
on earth, all the defendants of one
fly in single summer.
1t is true in this calculation We
have taken the higher number of flies
to begin with-100 instead of 90
but in return we have left off the
thirteenth generation Gas unlucky),
which would have given US a total
fifty times greater, so the calculation
may be taken as q fair one.
It must be that the estimate of flies
or of generations is too liberal. A great
many of the eggs must perish, and the
number of flies that are hatched must
be overestimated. We could not cope
with the flies at the rate Of increase
here given.
The question is pertinent. What
becomes of the flies?

Eelect misrellany,
The Other Bidder.

Uncle Hiram Stokes stl ode into the
kitchen where sat his wife, a sweet,
comely woman of middle life, busily
engaged pairing potatoes for the noon
day meal.
"See here Manthy," calculated Hi
ram. "O.d Bill Janes's widder is going
to auction off the old farm and house
hold goods tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. Here is the auction bill"
"You don't mean it, Hram!' ex-
claimed Mrs. Stokes, in .he excitement
of the moment, fumbling in her dress
for her spectacles which were at that
identical time perched high on her
forehead, and finally fixing them in
place and scrutinizing the huge type
with an unusual display of interest.
Yes" continued Hiram stroking
his beard meditatively, "Bll Janes's
wld,ler never took much to the farm
after Bill died. There was the carry
ing on ,f that big place and nothin'
but shiftless hired men to depend upon,
she being kinder weak, timid woman,
always a-leanin' on Bill. You couldn't
really blame her, too, for not wanting
to bear the responsibility, and then
she, suppose, wanted to get into the
city with her darter, it being rather
lonesome out here" and Hiram paused
and bowed his head, perhaps thinking
of the school days when he used to eat
luncheon with Bill Janes's widow un-
der the old pine tree.
"Yes!' snapped the usually mild
Mrs. Stokes, guessing the bent Of her
husbands thoughts. II s'pose you
did used to be sweet on the widder, but
when Symantha Banks was around /
guess the widder didn't get much at
tention."
Hiram was amused in spite of him
self. A dry smile curled his lips, his
eyes twinkled and he bestowed an al
fectionate glance on his wife, which,
perhaps, made her ashamed for letting
the green monster appear.
Eyes, Symantha," said Hiram, 81
guess we had better hitch the mare to-
morrow and jog along to the auction
with the other folks. | presume
there's something in the farmin' tools
I'll want, and maybe something in
household furni' ure will take your
eye"
Mrs Stokes glally assented and
bustled around her work with as much
anticipation as child that goes to his
first circus, for in a country town an
auction is the signal for universal
holiday, and enough gossip is CLEANED
on that occasion to satisfy the artluous
femme spirit.
The next day after the chores were
done Stokes and his wife bustled into
the democrat wagon and drove to the
James farm.
"Wa!l, | swan, glad to see you, Hi
ram!' sad Abe Person, the postmaster,
shaking hands cordially after Hiram
had helped his wife TO aiight.
"Tickle;l to death to see you, Man
thy" simpered the postmaster's wife,
Immediately taking possession Of Mrs.
Stokes and drawing her over to some
village housewives whose tongues were
flying like electric trip-hammers.
dts fine day for the auction" :"

HIS OPINION OF TITLES.

The experience of a farmer in Sc.
securing men of military fame to work
on a farm is given in an exchange, as
follows -
Some years ago, traveller in a
country district stopped to converse
with farmer who had considerable
number of men at work in his hay
fields.
"Most of these men are old soldiers,
said the farmer.
Indeed! Are any of those chaps
officers
1.-Two of 'em. One of 'em there was
private, and that fellow beyond was
corporal, but the man beyond him
was major, and that man away over
in the corner was colonelW
"Indeed! And are they all good
men?'
"Well," said the farmer, "the pri-
vate is first-class man in every way,
and the corporals pretty good, too."
But what about the major and the
colonel?"
''The majors only so so," replied the
farmer, with some hesitation.
"But the colonel ?'
swell, slr-well, I amt a-goin' to
say word against no man who. has
.ecn a colonel in the American army,
but I've made up my mind to one
thing-I amt a,goin' to hire any
brigadier-generals."

TRAILING ARBUTUS.

Twas only spray of Arbutus,
Half hid meath the fallen leaves,
Yet, as stopped forward to pick it,
My sad heart ceased to grieve,
Its sweet dec cate fragrance
Seemed to whisper words of peace,
And as pinned it upon my bosom,
Bright hopes seemed to increase!
1t thrilled my very being.
With its sweetness, through and through,
And into my heart creet cling,
So strange, and yet so new!
CT brighter days that are coming,
And happier times than these,
When the birds are returning to us.
And the bio SONS opening on the trees.
All! dear lttl' Trailing Arbutus-
All winter you've been asleep,
Meath your warm blanket of autumn leaves,
Where no sorrow or cold couli creep!
While we-poor, struggling mo: tall!
II I'VE felt the chill and the fear.
And ye'-we are striving on towards duty,
With feeling too deep for tears.
Awaken now from your peaceful sleep,
So pure and refreShing thou ar!
And do what thou canst ''little tloNer''
To cheer each lone ly heart.
Today you have been my sunbeam.
And frightened the way I've trod-
So when sad I'll search for Arbutus,
