A Parable 1mpeache1.

The parable of the wise man who
built his house upon a rock and Of the
other man who built on the sands was
uttered before the "house with modern
Improvements" had made it's appear
ance or modern sanitary science had
been evolved. A rock foundation is un-
Improbable for stability, but it may
be very bad when it comes to a matter
of drainage, whether it be for the dis
posal of sewage OF of surface or ground
water A cellar excavated in the rock
is usually wet cellar, because the wa

seams in the rock, and it is both diff

properly about the walls Of building
in medium SO hard to excavate To
be sure, If the rock drops away quick

be altogether minor one. A good
gravel soil is one of the best to build
upon in respect both to drainage and
to the stability of the house, and COM

of running water, is most excellent
foundation and thoroughly good me-

Bismarck and Grant.


Sidney Whitman in his Personal
"reminiscences of Prince Bismarck"
says:
"Bismarcks intimate friendship with
Motley, the historian, is well known.
He was also particularly attached to
George Bancroft, so that when it be-
came question of Bancroft being re-
called from his post of United States
minister at Berlin Bismarck wrote spe-
CHILLY to his friend Motley and begged
him to intercede with the president to
allow Bancroft to remain, and he did
remain.
Bismarck told me that when Gener-
nj Grant came to Berlin he accompa-
MED him to see one of the reviews at
the Tempelhofer field. Grant was not
well that day, and they had to drive
out in a closed carriage. Grant looked
downcast and told Bismarck that it
worried him to think that he was to
meet the Prussian soldiers sitting cud-
died up in carriage like any ordinary
civilian. Never you mind that, General
Grant, Bismarck said. You may sit
here hidden from view, but our SOL
diers are well aware what sort of fight
ing man is in this closed carriage"

His Last Hope Realized.

Gebo, Montana, Sentinel: In the
first opening of Oklahoma to settlers
in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
April. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim
he encountered much bad water which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as q
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The season for
bowel disorders being at hand sug-
gests this item. For sale by Nick Dof-

Short and Long Couptships.

Young ladies in Russia are not at all
averse to long engagements and use
all sorts Of articles to stave off the
wedding day as long as possible, while
in Siam, where old maids are unknown,
as all girls marry, the recognized
length of an engagement is one month.
If an engaged man in the Argentine
Republic dallies beyond reasonable
time in leading his fiancee to the altar,
he Is heavily fined, and If resident Of
the republic should fail to marry he is
taxed until he reaches the age Of
eighty. In no country in the world are
courtships so abnormally long as in Bo-
hemia, where engagements commonly
last from fifteen to twenty years. In
fact, there recently died at the age Of
ntnety-nine an old man who had been
counting for seventy-five years and who
was married on his deathbed.
