Wesley ON WeGIOck.

In an Interesting little tract on MAR
riage" by John Wesley, the founder of
Methodisn, all the duties of wife are
summed up in. two namely, that
she must recognize herself as the in
ferior of her husband and that she
must behave as. such. These were
John Wesley's theories, and that his
practice may have been somewhat SIM
liar is shown by the following sentence
from a letter to his wife: "Be content
to be a private, insignificant person,
known and loved by God and me-"
John Wesley's opinions on this subject
were perhaps the fruit Of his expert
ence, but it is also possible that they

tons may have been in measure
traceable thereto.

Poisonous Baby Snakes.

The young of the poisonous species
of serpents, deserted from the very first
by the parent snakes, are as dangerous
as if full grown from the moment they
enter the world. The proprietor of a
Philadelphia museum learned this to
his cost. In big glass case partitioned
through the middle by a wire screen
there lived side by side an eleven foot
anaconda (of the constructor family
and a colony of cotton mouth moe
casins. 1t was impossible for the moe
casins to glide through the narrow
meshes of the screen or even to ven
ture an occasional ''strike" at their
large and peaceful neighbor. But dur
ing the night a brood of young cotton
mouths unexpectedly appeared-babies,
not five inches long. They squirmed
through the meshes Of the partition
and before they had been two hours in
this world We're gliding joyfully over
the lifeless body of the huge constructor,
which lay poisoned by the youngsters

What He Spoke About,

Dean Hole in impressing clergymen
with the necessity of making them
selves understood by their congrega-
tons often cited as horrible example
a famous classical scholar who thus
addressed a handful of farm laborers
in a country mission room: "In this
beautiful country, my brethren, you
have the apotheosis of nature and an
apodeikneusis Of theropratic omnipo-
tence." The dean was not surprised
when he asked one Of the flock what it
was about to be answered, ut was
about an hour and a half"

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system
and that is all that they took when feel

other aches. You only need few doses

serious the matter with you. You can

by a Polish laborer, who, finding the
bank closed on election day, took it for
granted that it had failed. About $25,-
600 was withdrawn. The bank has a
large surplus.
1t was in Maryville, I believe, in this
state, that run on a bank occurred
from q peculiar cause. Some improve
ments We're being made on the bank
building, the effect being to raise the
entrance The end man of a strolling
minstrel show ventured the funnyism,

lady fell on the sidewalk in front Of
bank. \ crowd gathered to help her
and some observer at distance re-
marked in a loud voice, There seems
to be some trouble at the bank" This
was enough.
