lively tones their suspicion that some
thing unusual had happened.


Half an hour later the Clinton and
Holmesville stage passed that way,
and the driver and his passengers
were astonished beyond measure
For some time it was supposed that
some new and curiohsly complicated
animal, consisting chiefly of zebra and
black panther, was swinging from the
sapling; but just as one of the passen-
gers was about to fire at it, the driver
recognized the minister, though he
was not able to recognize Ills fellow
prisoner The latter's voice was some
what muff1ed, but she was distinctly
heard to revile the minister, and to
assert that she never would forgive
him, no matter how he might try to
excuse himself Six strong men finally
bent down the saplings released the
victims, and with rare delicacy assign
ed the duty of recognizing Miss
Sloane ID the tao ladies' who were in
the stage. Fortunately, neither OF
Master Sloane's victims were serious
ly injured, and they both were able
to walk home on opposite sides OF
the street.


The results of this affair were num-
erous. Miss Sloane left town the
next day on visit to the East, and
has not since returned. The minister
was tried for indiscreetly hanging
from the tops of trees with young
ladies, and thereby bringing reproach
upon his profession, but was acquit-
ted by close vote. As for Master
Sloane it is believed and hoped that
his father has killed him. At any rate
he has not been seen, and the rumor
that he has been sent to the House OF
Refuge il Chicago is not generally
believed.

Edison, the chitd of inspiration, is
experimenting with new instrument
which he calls the teleoscopophone, a
sort of ear trumpet, which, when ap-
piled to the ear, will enable one to
hear the ordinary conversation of a
man a mile distant. There is no con-
necling wire, as in the telephone, but
everything depends on the property
of the ear-trumpet itself, which is on
an entirely different principle from
those which have been in use. 1t is
intended that this instrument will en-
able deaf persons, except such as can
not hear cannon fired at their elbow,
to distinctly hear anything said on
the stage at the theater. Edison also

age, but the dog in boots is no imaginary
creature. In the regions of eternal snow
and ice, where the only beast of burden
is the dog, the cold is sometimes 80 intense
that sharp icicles form between the claws
of the canine sledge travellers. This
causes most serious obstacle to the
speedy progression OF the dogs, ard would,
after few days, render them utterly un.
fit for their laborious duties, as the icicles
grow larger and larger as they 20 on,
until the poor creatures are quite unable
to stand. The older dogs, however, will
every now and then stop and bite off the
icicles from their feet. Not so with the
novice. He tiudges wearily along !;
every step he takes adds to his torture,
and after a time every imprint of .is
foot on the snow bears red stain from
his cut and bleeding paws. At such
times the dog boot is called into requisi.
tion by the driver, principally for
policy, but occasionally, let us hope, out
of humanity. The dog boot is generally
made OF raw hide, and is simply shaped
like a small bag or pocket. This is
drawn over the foot OF the animal and
made secure by tying 1t taround the ankle
with a leather string. Thus protected,

Men are supposed to know, or 20 be
able to find cut, whether or not they are
on the Lords side. The question implies
as much. There are various tests which
we crn apply that will settle the question
for us very soon. VI. ...s


Take it in matters OF everyday life,
in business, in buying, selling, winning
the prizes of life, there is side which
is "the Lords side" Do you ask,
What is it? 1t is the side OF honesty
and integrity and truth; the side that
gives a man an equivalent for his
money; that has but one price for the
article at the same time that puts sixty
minutes into an hours work, and
sixteen ounces into the pound, and thirty
six inches into the yard, and four
pecks into the bushel, and 100 cents into
a dollar that doesn't put sand in sugar,
nor pease in coffee; the eide that is per-
pendicular against all the tricks and
sharp practices, the lies OF utterance and
the lies of silence a business which lays
its course like vessel along the meri-
dian OF right, in the teeth Of all winds,
and holds ts it, blow they high or blow
they low that is the side which God is
on. the Lords side"


Perhaps you have throught that the
Lord has no side, exce,t in matters
purely religious; that the whole realm
of business and our worldly affairs gen.
orally lie quite outside his cognizance; !;
that God comes into our families at the
hour of prayer, meets US in our closets.
goes with us to church, and then virtu.
ally retires from us. A greater mistake
could not possibly be made. God is
as much interested in your business as
in your worship, and he looks IL
through with as keen an eye. You are
making character great deal faster in
your shop, and Office, and store, than you
do in church, because men usually put a
great deal more energy and lite into
their business than they do into their
worship. All those powers whose exer-
else goes to make character, TO determine
and decide destiny are put by most men
TO far higher tension in the places Of
business than in the place of worship.


There is more soul saving and soul.
losing done on those streets and in those
places where men congregate 10 do bust
ntss. than in all our churches. That is
my belief. ...... ..t....


The Lords side in our business affairs
is very definite and clearcut sde.--

AN old tanner of wild beasts says TO
the New York San: AS for the smell
of blood madiening them, know there
is popular notion to that effect, but it
is not true. / have had occasion enough
to know, when it was my blood they
smelled. Lions and tigers raised in
captivity are more dangerous than those
which are well broken when taken wild
full grown. When the cub born in a
cage grows up he will become imprudent,
saucy, aggressive, and is too familiar
with men to be easily cowed. But the
wild beast never forgets when he has
been once well whipped, and though his
instincts will still prompt him to attack,
he will have his doubts about the results
of his getting into fight. You may
handle young lion for years, and it will
be as harmeless rs q Newfoundland dog,
until suddenly, without any apparent
reason, all its ferocity will be de-
veloped."

WHAT we call fever and ague might be
banished from the country as a general
disease, If two things were done. First
Have fire kihdled every morning at
daylight, from spring till fall, in the
family room, into which all the family
should repair from their chambers, and
there remain until breakfast is taken.
Second; Let fire be kindled in the
family room short time before sun
down; let every member of the family
repair TO it,and there remain until supper
is taken. In both cases the philosophy
of the course marked out consists in two
things-First: The fire rarifes the
malaria, and causes it to ascend above
the breathing point. Second; The food
taken INTO the stomach creates an activity
of circulation which repels disease.

Pay no attention to slanderers or gossip


mongers. Keep straight ON in your course,
and let your backbiting die the death of
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
nights, broOding over the remark of some


false friend that ran through your brain
like forked lightning. What's the use of
getting into a worry and fret over gossip
that has been set atloat to your disadyan-
tage by some meddlesome busybody who
has more time than character: These
things cannot permanently injure yoll, nn-
less you take notice of them, and in con,-
batting them, give them character and

yourself right at once; If false, let it 90 for
what it will fetch. If a bee stings you,
would You go into the hive and destroy it?
Would not u thousand come on to You? 1t

ally losers in the end five stop to reftte
all the backbitings and gossippings we

and by our own actions and pllr-
poses, and not by others. Let us ALWAYS

Coon NATTER FOR DISCUSSION dis
cnSSion of amusementS at the recent Protest
ant Episcopal congress III New y ork resulted
in no more unity of sentiment upon the sub
jcct than is usual in such bodies. One Ven
cradle divine did not want the theatre and
considered dancing hostile to the lie of faith.
The square dance could not be kept sqnare,
but would be invariably rounded off into the
German, and the intense fascination of the
latter, which set the whole world wild, had
the curse Of God upon it. Another good
brother believed that the sin of dancing lay
in excess, and, while admitting that the
square dance was almost obsolete, did not
believe the round dance wholly evil. The
theatre was treated IN much the same way
While some saw IN its influences nothing but
uncleanness, Others contiued their criticisms
to It's functional evils and were unable to see
anything constitutionally wrong in the repre-
sentations of the stage. Another did not
believe III the marriage of christianity and
worldliness, and thought that churches which
encouraged raiiies and kindred means of pro-
TT and amusement could certainly patronize
benefit nights at theatres Iti well to have
hesematters discussed atehurch conventions.
Probably there VIII be some who will always
dissent from healthy amusement because un-
healthy recreation may happen to lie called
by the same name but these gentlemen

they can make money for themselves; but
