COMMUNICATE of the First Methodist
Episcopal church who desires to share

requested by DR.. w. w. Carlton, the
pastor, to bring spoon.
Instead of slipping from the sup and

each his own portion.
The pastors innovation is a result of
an agitation in Iowa churches against
the common use of the communion cup,
1t being held that the old custom is a
means Of spreading diseases.

mountains, was powerless to pentrate the
gloomy twilight that filed the terrible wood.
In the dead, utter silence, the daring man
could hear the dark boughs rustic overhead,
as if whispering to each other some horrible
secret which they dared not speak aloud.
Suddenly the stiffness was broken by ter,
rife yell, and rattle of dry bones as WIG
figure burst from the bushes and flung ltseil
upon Da Braga.
But Marcos had this advantage over the
wood demons other victims, that, being fuiiy
prepared for the latter's appearance, he couid
not be taken by surprise.
Instead of running away as the rest nad
done, he flew right at his assailants THROAT,
and dexterously avoiding a tremendous blow
which the robber aimed at his head with 2
heavy club closed with him and endeavored
to drag him down. And then began terrible
battle.
The robber was almost as big as Marcos
himself, and fought savagely as a wild
cat.
To and fro they swayed, locked in each 9TH
er's grasp, their heels tearing up the very
around them, like pistol shots.
More than once Marcos, despite his giant
strength, was all but overborne. But at
length, watching his opportunity, he dashed
trunk that the latter loosened his clutch with
q howl of pain.
The next moment he lay sprawlng on his
back upon the trampled earth, with Da Braga's
foot on his breast.
'Mercy, noble senhor-mercy" whiaed the
crestfallen demon, who was almost crushed fiat
by the pressure.
"Ha!" cried Marcos, STOPPING over him, II
should know that yoice!"
AT that instant, q ray of sunlight, filtering
through the interlaced branches above, fell
right upon the face of the PROSTATE man, and
Da Braga recognized mulatto slave belonging
to one OF his friends, who had run away about
two months before.
"Rascal!" cried Marcos. 'Is it thou that
hast done all this mischief? l spare thy life,
for it shall never be said that. Marcos de
Braga slew man who lay at his mercy; but
all who feared thee before shall laugh at thee
now"
Da. Braga was as good as his word.
Th~ very afternoon, the mulatto was seen
harnesseo to plow in one Of his fields, while
the peasants crowded like children to stare at
the famous "wood demon" at whose very
name the. boldest of them had trembled only
| day before.

removing. hermit crab from its habitation,
too small for the accommodation of its body.
No other protection being obtainable, the
crab picks, UP the shell, twists it round and
round with marvellous dexterity and quick
ness, measures its capacity with its legs, and
forcing the tip of its body into it as far al as
can be done, and then. walks about discon-
solately, knowing that the greater part of its
soft person is unprotected.
When it has had time to become thoroughly
uncomfortable, a large shell should be placed
in the vessel. In a moment the crab pounces
on it, twists it about and with movement
almost too quick for the eye to follow, drops
the little shell and jerks itself into the large
one, where it rests with an air of absolute
content which is intensely ludicrous.

of Minor, and he halls from Wisconsin and knows a great deal on the subject of shipping. MT. Minor and the chair man do not agree as to some of the leading provisions of the bill, and the wisconsin member wants a number of changes made in it before he will give his consent that the bill shall be re- ported.
 Mir. Minor In The Way.
 MT. Minor also has considerable in- fluence with other members, and the Ohio man deemed 1t best to go slow. Uncle Joe'' does not think the voting of subsidies wSuld be- a popular act in the prairie State either and although the people behind the scheme insist 1t should be alluded to as ship subsidy that's what nearly every one says 1t Is here, and the men opposing the prop osition argue that if it is proper for the government to aid one Industry why not aid others?
 On the other hand, Lne promoters of the scheme to take many millions an- nually out of the treasury, assert that 1t would in a few years be of such general benefit to the commerce of the country that no one should complain They insist that with the proper help from Uncle Sam, they will soon be able to down most of the nations of the earth-England excepted, of course so far as the merchan marine is con cerned.
 They declare, in addition, that if what they ask is granted, 1t will strengthen the navy of the United States. for in the event of war with any foreign power, Japan particularly. the greatest need of our government would be a strong navy. They claim with such a merchant marine as they will build up. Uncle Sam could quickly procure all the trained sailors needed for the naval vessels that are being constructed, and that are to be built during the next decade.
 The Municipal League people ate al- ready flooding this city with literature in the interest of the bill that Is before Congress.
 The Southern members of the House are generally against the ship subsidy bill, and if it comes to vote they will almost solidIy vote against it, The Southern members on the merchant ma rine and fisheries committee are Messrs. Spight. of Mississippi; Maynard. of Virginia; sherley. of Kentucky. and Patterson, of North Carolina.

Washington, Nov. 2O-(Special.) )-A determined effort will be made by the Interests directly and indirectly con- kerned, to have passed at the coming hession of Congress the measure that Is commonly called the ship subsidy bill.
 These people have had here for sew nral years a strong contingent that is hsually called the lobby, though some Kentlemen connected with the move ment prefer to be called attorneys or Advisers There is an organization known as the Merchant Marine League pf the United States, The main offices are at Cleveland. but there are branches of the league at New York, Buffalo Chicago and other points.
 It will be recalled that the ship Bubsidy bill was passed by the Senate during the last session. It was engi- neered through that body by Senator Ealligner, of New Hampshire But 1t was held up by the merchant marine and fisheries committee of the House, of which General Grosvenor. of Chio. Is chairman.
 The latter is a red hot champion of the measure, but two obstacles were in his way last session. In the first place, the general or regular appro- priations were running so high that MT. Cannon would give no assurance that the bill should ever have a chance to come before the House. Tn the second place, there is a strong man on Gen eral Grosvenor's committee by the name

A Valuable Agent.

The glyeerine employed in Dr. Pierce'A medicines greatly enhances the medly cinal properties which 1t extracts and holds in solution much better than alcoi hol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable demulcent. nutrltive, antiseptic and anti ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queens root, con tained in "9olden Medical Discovery" in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recom- mended by standard medical authorities.
 In all cases where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomach, as in the early stages of consumption, there can be no doubt that glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Queens root and Black Cherrybark in promoting digestion and building up the flesh and strength, controlling the cough and bringing about a healthy condition of the whole system. Of course, 1t must not be expected to work miracles. It will not cure consumption except in it's earlier stages. It will cure very severe, obstin- ate chronic coughs, bronchial and laFyn- zeal troubles, ard chronic sore throat with hoaTseness. In acute coughs it Is not so effective It Is in the lingering coughs, or those of long standing, even when accompanied by bleeding from lungs, that it has performed it's most marvellous cures.

It seems that a speech made before the convention by Secre- tary Shaw strongly indorsing the bill had decided effect. a Burton Friendly To Alabama. l Friends of Congressman Burton, Of Cleveland, chairman of the House riv- CTS and harbors committee, do not an ] ticipate he will have much trouble in retaining that position, in spite of the in Mississippi Valley to induce Speaker Cannon to name q new man for chair man in the next House. MT. Burtons friends assert he means to be as fair as he can. They contend also that, coming from a city that has great shipping interests, ne is rather more favorable to the improvement of rivers and harbors than the average congressman, and that if he cuts down little lower in the division of the government funds for these purposes than some of the brethren relish, that will not lower him in the sentiment of the Speaker, for the simple reason that Uncle Joe" has no big rivers in his bailiwick. Besides. on general princi- ples, the Speaker has for years not been in favor of liberal river and harbor bills.
 On the whole Mir. Burton has shown friendly interest in improving the rivers and harbors in which Alabama is most interested. There Is strong talk here that the Ohio Republicans next year may nominate Mir. Burton for Governor, but his friends say he is not in sympathy entirely with the Foraker-Dick combination, and even if he should secure the nomination, he might not win at the polls, owing to the faetional differences. The chances are that Mir Burton will serve out his next term in the House
