If, by your own acts, through the folly
of youth, you have violated a single law
of nature, against body or mind, by
omission or commission, especially by
any habit, by constantly repeating the
same, then there is no escaping the
punishment made and provided for every
transgression, which is Sickness, Decay
or Death. The immutable laws of nature
governing and regulating the universe,
are so nicely adjusted both in the animal
and vegetable kingdoms, that for every
violation of any law there is fixed
penalty of Sickness, Decay or Death.
This is as certain as night follows day.
And you, young man, may pay the pen
atty right here on this earth, in this life,
sooner or later. Escape this punishment

Rare Solution of a scrape

The unique value of the mutoscope as
recorder of living events was dem
onstrated during a recent visit of Sir Hi
ram and Lady Maxim to a southern wa
tering place. The story, as told by Sir
Hiram himself. is that at the conclusion
Of his visit he presented a check to the
hotel proprietor in discharge of his hotel
bill.
Hotel proprietors do not like checks
from strangers, and generally make it a
rule not to accept them. So Sir Hiram
was politely Informed that only cash
could be taken in payment. You see. -
said the proprietor. II do not know that
you really are Sir Hiram Maxim"
The famous inventor readily recognized
the force of the argument, but said he
had not sufficient money in his pocket to
discharge the debt. 1t might have been
an awkward position but for a happy
thought that occurred to Lady Maxim.
She asked the proprietor to go on the
pier, put a penny in the slot of a muto-
scope, turn the handle, and he would then
see living picture of Sir Hiram firing
a Maxim gun in the presence of the

subscription for 10000 shares was
opened by E. L. J. Errnpain, the title
OF the new railway being the Upper
Congo and Great Atlantic Lakes Rail-
road. The price of the shares, the par
value being $50 francs, is 27915 francs,
and the interest 4 per cent in gold is
guaranteed for ninety-1ine years by
the Congo Free State, without prejudice
+ to participation in any increase. The
guarantee places the property, for all
intents and purposes, on the basis of a
government property. There have also
been made, in the interests of the line,
large territorial concessions whose val
ue is in proportion to their extent.
1t may fairly be said that this is an
epoch making railroad, that is, it will
prove so when finished. It's effect upon
transit facilities will be of the highest
Importance, because, by terminating
northward of Lake Albert Nyanza, it
is going to permit of connection with
the north Of Lake Victoria, and thus
with the Uganda railroad, an English
enterprise completed not long since.

cation, connection may be had across
